NEEDS ORGANIZED BACKING
How to Start and Manage a Farm
Bureau

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2nd.-
That the active cooperation, advice.
and assistance of farmers themselves
is necessary to the success of county
agent work is one of the most i'm
portant lessons impressed upon Off
cials of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture after six years
of experience with this work in the
northern and western states. The
best means of securing. this local
support has proved to be the estaD
lishment of county organization
usually as farm bureau.
To enable the county agent and
local farmers to organize and con-
duct a farm bureau most effectively,
the department has just published
detailed suggestions as to methods
of procedure in a guilds known as
Handbook on Farm Bureau Organ
ization for County Agricul.u-
Agents" The plan represents the
fruit of experience in this field thus
far, it is said. 1t can be adapted
readily to the varying conditions OF
different counties. 1t may be es-
tablished n counties having ineffi-
cient organizations, in counties con-
templating the employment OF an
agent and ir Iiaces where the agent
is now unsupported by local coun-
ty organization.
The chief functions of farm
bureau, as outlined in the handbook
are:
(1) To coordinate the efforts of
existing local agricultural forces
either organized or unorganized, and
to organize new lines of effort. 1t
does not supplant any existing or
ganizations or compete with them
put establishes clearing house
through which all may increase
their efficiency without in any way
surrendering their Individuality.
(2) To bring to the agent the
counsel and cooperation of the best
tanners in tn. county in planning
and executing or agricultural i'm
provement program.
(3) To further the necessary
loca! machinery for easily and quick
ly reaching every community in th'
county with information of value t.
that community or ~ the county a
whole.
(4) ID encourage ,self-helI
through developing and exercising
leadership in the rural affairs o
each community.
(5) To leveal t. all the peopl
If the county tn. agricultural posi-
t,l,ties of tee county and how the.

sANDBuR CAUSES DEATH
Clearance McClelland. of Lithia. Dead
from Swallowing Sandbur

Clarence McClelland died in this
city last Saturday as the result of
of swallowing sandbur while husk-
ing corn on his place fifteen miles
southwest of this city. 1t seems the
bur stuck to his hand and in using
his teeth to extricate it he drew it
into his windpipe. All efforts to
dislodge it were futile and he was
rushed to this city where an opera
ton was of no avail. The hem
morrahage and swelling of his lung
caused death late Saturday after
noon.
Funeral services were conducted
Wednesday afternoon at Lithia and
the interment made in the cemetery
near that place. The deceased was
one of the well known ranchers OF
the county and leaves to mourn his
loss wife and two children besides
his aged father and mother,

Mrs. P. o. Stuchell Tells How She
Cured Her Son of a Cold

When my son Ellis was sick with
a cold last winter I gave him Cham

him at once and quickly broke UP
his cold," writes Mrs. P. o. Stuchell,
Homer City, Pa. This remedy has
been in use for many years. Its
good qualities have been fully pro-
ven by thousands of people. 1t is
pleasant and safe to take.

sELEcTlvE CONSUMPTION.

Considerable stress has been prop
erly laid on the democratic principles
contained In an army plan that pro-
vides for enlistment by selective con-
scrlption. Aside from the higher de-
gree Of efficiency to be obtained
through its adoption and employment,
1t has been shown to be in keeping
with the theory that every able-bodled
citizen owes his unqualified support to
his country in any capacity he may be
called upon to fill. 1t Is well to note,
however, that the suggestion that the
provisions Of selective draft Will as
sumo the participation Of all classes in
common in the perils of war is not
founded on any just assumption that
the "slackers" are to be found in any
particular class. The record today con-
clusively dispOses of such slur, says
Washington Post. The sons of well-to-
do and prominent men are enlisting as
freely as those of more modest means
and less public note. That the names
of the former are published merely sig
nifies that public interest lays hold
instinctively of the evidences that the
adventitious distinctions of wealth and
poverty, Of prominence and obscurity,
disappear at the country's call. The
sons of rich men and prominent men
have not sought the notice. Nor is
1t accorded them in the stern fact of
war.

ly at the end of the season she was
withdrawn.
Again in 1897 there was an at.
tempt made to successfully revive
steamboat navigation on the Per
rysburg route. In June OF that
year the steamer o. b. Reed com
menced making regular trips on
the route. The keed was a staunch
well furnished, sidewheel steam Ell
l2O feet in length. She was in
command of Captain j. A. Rogers,
with Homer Gregory as chief engi-
neer. Col. E. L.. Kingsbury was
the manager of the company which
brought the f., d here. How long
this steamer remained on the route
the writer is unable to say, but she
did not prove to be gold mine for
ner owners while here.
Perhaps the last steamboat to
make regular trips between Per-
.'ysburg and Toledo was the
steamer Fort Meigs. The trolley
line and the desire of the people to
make the trip to the city in less
lime than steamboat could do it
was too much for her. 1t takes
money to run a steamboat and the
passengers who wished to make
the trip just for pleasure were not
sufficiently numerous to produce
the needed revenue.
Capt. Arthur j. Fox of Toledo
also commanded the steamer Ruby
for few months during her last
season on the Perrysburg-Toledo
route. He was genial, good
natured skipper and soon became
very popular not only with the
patrons of the boat but with the
citizens of the Burg generally.
While the scenery on the Maui
NEE is grand, and the river trip a
very enjoyable one, the people in
this locality do not see INTO ap-
preciate it, and it is doubtful il
there will be another steamer to
make regular trips between Per-
rysburg and Toledo.

Toledo Auditorium
1.-The Birth of Nation" Coming
to Toledo.

Never has there been a more
welcome announcement than that
of the forthcoming engagement of
d. w. Griffith s superb spectacle,
"The Birth of Nation" which
comes to the Auditorium, Toledo,
for two weeks, starting Monday
night, September "a. After that
there will be two performances
daily, including Sunday at 2:15
and 9:15 p. m. No other attrac-
ton in the history of American
amusements has ever drawn such
tremendous crowds wherever pre-
sented, or has possessed such a
wide appeal as this wonder pic
ture production of the twentieth
century. Masters in the art of
film production have been striv-
ing for months to produce another
feature which might equal "The
Birth of a Nation" and millions
Of dollars have been spent in the
attempt, but none have succeeded.
1t simply remains the biggest,
most remarkable and most stupen-
dous film achievement of the age.
"The Birth of a Nation" needs
no eulogy. 1t has been seen and
enjoyed by over ten million pe0-
pie in this country alone. 1t has
broken all records for attendance
and receipts all over the country.
The same has been true in Eng
land, Australia and South Ameri-
lea. No one can afford to miss
this Eighth Wonder of the World.
Many see it four and five times
with new enjoyment. 1t will make
a better American of every one
who witnesses it's dramatic show
ing of the most momentous period
of American history. AS entertain
ment it is unsurpassed. Blended
with its history is a romantic story
of thrilling appeal. 1t moves with
the rapidity of lightning and
sways audiences to such outbursts
of applause as the theatre has not
heard for many years.
The night prices are so cents to
ST. with a few choice seats at $1.50
The matinee prices are SO cents
to 81. Mail orders accompanied
by remittances and stamped and
addressed return envelopes will
receive prompt and careful atten
ton.

Thomas Il. Montgomery of Har-

Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania, was
another distinguished speaker. He
referred to some of the pioneer
history Of the valley and called
attention to the fact that the men
from Pennsylvania as well as
Kentucky came to the relief of the
Ohio troops on the occasion for
which the celebration was being
held as an anniversary. He ex-
pressed the determination to in
troduce in the legislature of Penn

erection of monument at the
Fort i'll memory of the Pittsburg

gave IA very pleasing concert dur.
ing the afternoon.
The First Ambulance Corps of
Toledo, the Sixth regiment units
that are in camp at Toledo and all
uniformed units in Toledo were at
Fort Meigs. This includes the
boys of Batteries B and E, the
companies of the Sixth regiment,
the First Ambulance company, the
Sixth Hospital corps and the
mounted scouts of headquarters
company. The supply company,
in command of Capt. Pugh of the
Sixth regiment, drove their wagon
train to the fort. The company
gave the Carol drill and camped
on the battlefield Saturday night.
Late in the afternoon great
throngs of people lined the his
toric embankment leading to the
Fort Meigs monument to watch
the soldiers drill. on the parade
grounds. One of the features of
these exercises was a monkey
drill by the mounted scouts. The
boys went through the program
of thrilling horseback stunts with
out a mishap. Military maneuvers
and the ceremony of retreat by
other local companies followed.
Around the monument hun
dreds gathered to listen to con-
cert of patriotic airs by the Sixth
Regiment band. In other sections
of the ground the Rossford, Over
land and Bowling Green bands en-
tertained the picnickers.
Credit for the splendid success of
the celebration is chiefly due to At
torney Eugene Rheinfrank through
whose efforts the work was started
and whose energy and enthusiasm
kept the committees on the Jump
until the close of the big day.
