Grain Ripens Rapidly.

The extreme hot weather of the

of fall sown grain and harvest opera

gin within the next rec or ten DAYS.

is considered about out of
danger. The second cutting OF al
falfa hay win start on next Monday
with a good crop assured for the ma
jority of r%anchers. There has been
an abundance of water this season
and the Hudson Bay Irrigation Ditch
Co. predicts that there viii be water
until about the first of August. Far

hay until fall and little if ans will
be sold for less than SIS f. o. b. cars.
Considering the high wages COM
manded by laborers. increase in cost
of baling hauling. etc. this price is
considered very reasonable and will
likely be advanced later in the sea

they almost invariably suffer later

ON MAIN ISSUE

There are so many things to claim the
attention of the people now that there is
danger that the campaign to make Ohio
dry this year will be slighted. There
are so many evils to be eradicated that
one hardly knows where to begin. But
the drink evil is at the bottom of so
many that efforts should be centered
upon driving out that vile traffic first.
Take war, for instance. Reports have it
that the worst enemy of any of those
warning nations is inefficiency due to
drink, to say nothing of the great waste
in money expended for drink and in
foodstuffs used in making the poison.
Get all the money possible for Red
Cross purposes. 1t will be needed. One
hasn't much patriotism if he isn't in
sympathy with that movement But it
is just as patriotic to get behind the pro-
hibition movement, and it will require
more bravery ordinarily, for the liquor
foe will strike from the rear. The pro-
hibition forces don't want your money,
but little of it anyway, but they do want
your votes. This is a drive for votes.
To vote don't cost anything, but it is
the most costly thing in the world if you
don't vote, or don't vote right when you
do vote. Vote for prohibition.

stitute Of Washington, d. c., dur
Ing the exploration Of the Spanish Dig
gings country in Wyoming.
Hart is really civil engineer by pro
fession and was superintendent OF
construction for the Thurman branch
of the Delaware & Hudson railroad
in the Adirondacks, with a force OF
300 men under his orders. He held
the same position with the Titusville
Electric Traction company, at Titus
vile, and at Keevance, Ill.
He spent some time in South Dako-
ia, where he drove the freight team
from Fort Pierre to Rapid City. He
punched cows for two years on the
Sioux Indian reservation at the mouth
of the Cheyenne river. He was
foreman of II Ranch In Wyo-
ming, and manager of another ranch
at Willow for many years. He has
worn the insignia of city marshal In
earnest at Manville, Wyo, and been
deputy sheriff and brand inspector at
Counerse county in the same state.
One of his "jobs' was buyer and
advance man to handle all the inspec-
tions and shipping of horses for the
British government, for the use of
the army. He has also seen his name
on the posters Of the 101 Wild West
Show, touring the country as buck
ing horse rider. If there is any vari-
ETY. of Western life which Hart does
not know from personal experience,
it is because it exists only in the imag-
inatiOn of the writer's of so-called
western" stories and pictures.
He says that he went into pictures
because the work is so fascinating,
and he made his first hit in the Blue
bird photoplay called 'Love's Larlat,"
In which he supported Harry Carey

SAYS EXTORTION,
LOOKS LIKE STEAL

State Attorney General McGhee, who
is fighting for lower coal prices for Ohio
people, says the average cost of mining
coal and placing it on cars at the mines
is 81. so ton, and that maximum price
of So. so at the mines would be EXCES-
SIVE, and that the SO and So. so agreed
upon in Washington is worse than ex-
orbitant. 1t would be a good thing if
Prosecutor Stubbs would take a quiet
squint at the situation in Mercer county,
if he has not done so, and report his
findings to Attorney General McGee. A

poor devils should be prevented if it is
necessary to lay in a stock of tar and
