In the recent Pomona Grange
meeting at Franklin Grange in a
discussion of the question of Hired
Help ON the Farm, Indoors and Out,
Mrs l.. a. Stevens read a most
practical and interesting paper
winch 1t was unanimously voted
should be published. In substance
she said her conclusions were drawn
from observation rather than ex-
perlence but the labor problem was
one of the important questions the
farmer had to face. When ever
we pick up a paper we may see this
headline, "Sec. Of Agr. calls on city
men to G.ssist the farmer or "Wms.
Co. decreases in population in the
nrst decade" or Supply oil farm
help in Ohio only 20 per cent of
normal" When city papers pass
out the word that farm help Is
scarce, we NAV be sure il ISN'T all
bluff" That there is a very great
shortage is self-evident. When in a
county as fertile as Fulton we may
find abandoned farms, we may know
the situation is becoming serious A
few years ago 20 per cent of the
poppiation lived in the country, now
20 per cent live in towns and cities
leaving only 30 per cent to enjoy the
rural life. Why do people go to the
city TO Eve, is il only higher wages
and shorter hours2 The great ma
iority of city people are no wealth.
Ter than the majority of country
people. They get higher wages and
reater expenses; few own their
homes, a very few become rich, with
the great mass It is a hand to mouth
existence. IL Is said New York
City is never more than week
away from famine; perhaps it is
remembered of the great distress
caused bv the. failure of the milk
cans to reach the city promptly. In
the country people live comfortably
and know little of real poverty.
Former Sec. Of Interior Lane, say.
at is the lure of pleasure, desire to
get closer together that is the evil
csnse." If this IS true, then the
things we must provide for our
rural life is a desire for national
u,esures, cgg.H entertainment and
? broader social life if we are to
keep the younger generation on the
itffts 'ft ~ ~ II fHohitl anu higher
wages that lead men to the towns
then we must needs make farming a
good financial proposition. If, as
sorNe world say. it Is our educational
system that leeds them. from tn,
farm then revise the system.
Perhaps the farms are being de
serted for all these reasons, W,
know our young people are beinI
educated to think that occupation

We know that at the present tim
farmers cannot compete with the
manufacturer in the matter of wages.
we also know that country young

Big DOUBLE CIRCUS
COMING This WAY
RingIing Bros. and Barnum & Bail
ey Combined Announce Ex-
hibiti0ns At Early Date

This locality has entertained manv
circuses, but never anything to COM
pare with the gigantic double shows
billed as Ringling Brothers and Bar
nun & Bailey Combined which will
exhibit afternoon and night at To-
edo, Monday July 26.
The merging of these mammoth in
5tiJutions in one circus of colossal
SIZE, constitutes the amusement sur
- of the century. Nothing to ap-
reach this gigantic, new circus has
ever before turned America It has
been formed by merging the pick and
ha cream of all that was biggest
and best in the two famous shows.
It would be folly to attempt to en-
umerate its many wonders. Some
idea of the enormous scale upon
which features are presented may be
had when it is stated that quarter
of a million pounds of elephants take
part in Single act. In other words
six times as many of the big-eared
giants than have ever before been
seen in one main tent exhibition. All
else to be seen is in proportion. The
arent4c stars embrace all the worlds
foremost circus performers. There
are three hours of novelties and big
sensational acts The menagerie is
far and away the most colossal ever
Travelled. For instance a herd of
eight giraffes are exhibited in place
of the two or three shown in the
past. The great tournament which
opens the main tent program, is the
most magnificent this in pagentry
yet produced in America. Hundreds
upon hundreds of gorgeously costum
ed characters and beautiful horses
take part in it. The morning street
parade is the longest and most bril-
liant ever given anywhere and offers
something entirely new and novel in
processioal display. 1t is a stupen-
dous, double-circus that battles de-
scl'iption

A HERCULINE TASK

The best-posted men in the coal
trade estimate the bituninous re-
quirements for 1920 at $50, ,OO0, 900
tons. In 1919 the production was
458,000,000 and in 1917 it was 551-
100000 at about the amount of the
estimated requirements for this year
The total production for this year to
date has been PSI, 900 net tons,
leaving 299,OOO,OOO tons to be pro-
duced and transported during the
balance of this year.
This would require production of
100000 tons a week during large
part of the summer, record which
has heretofore been accomplished
during the war and for short period
last October when special efforts
were being made to turn out coal in
anticipation of the miners strike by
the exercise of the drastic powers of
the Fuel Administration. The rail
roads saw no hope of accomplishing
this record under the existing con-
ditionS unless a somewhat similar
preference were given this year and
so they had given as much special at
tention to coal shipments as they
could with due regard to the right of
shippers of other commodities, it be-
came necessary for them to petition
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to exercise the emergency powers
which it has under the transporta.
tion act. The commission has now
issued several orders AUTHORIZING
! preferential treatment of coal ship
ments which supplemented by the
most vigorous efforts on the par
of the railroad officials are expected
to materially relieve the serious
situation that has been felt OF
threatened in some localities. The
commission is also requiring the re-
ceivers Of coal shipments to cooper
ate by authorizing the railroads tc
embargo consignees who fail to un
| load coal cars within "a hours unit

Mr.. Walter Rogers, Director of
Republican Clubs in Ohio met with a
number of citizens at the Court
House in Wauseon last Tuesday even
ing and effected temporary organi-
zation of Republican Club for Wau-
seon, by the election of a temporary
chairman and secretary. Mr.. Rogers
outlined the plans and purposes of
the Republican Clubs and among
other things emphasized the value of
the Club as means of education in
the history and principles of the Re
publican party and also the National
and State party platforms. The
probability that Vermont, a Repub-
lican State, will be the Both to ratify
the suffrage amendment makes the
membership Of women in these clubs
desirable both for the interests of
the party and in order that women
may famfliarize themselves with
political usage and conditions. The
governmental system of the United
States is administered by and thru
the political parties and it follows
that the voters Of the country should
be thoroughly posted i'm regard to the
principles and policies for which the
parties stand.

WATCH FOR CHINCH BUGS
ENTOMOLOGISTS ADVISE

Watch for chinch bugs" So
states the department of entomology
at the Ohio Experiment Station, in
answering queries concerning insects
that are liable to do crop damage
during the coming harvest.
Chknch bugs have already been
found in abundance in the northwest
ern section of Ohio, but no evidence
OF damage is generally noticed until
the wheat crop is removed and the
bugs begin to migrate into the corn
and oats fields.
The wheat-insect survey of last
year showed rather heavy Gnfesta-
ton of chinch bugs in western and
northwestern Ohio. The 1920 sur.
vev, which is now in progress, will
make it possible to determine how
badly the Ohio wheatfelds are in.
Tested at present
Chinch bugs develop quickly dur
ing dry weather and do their great
est damage in a period of drouth
Wet weather retards their actor
and often prevents a heavy out
break.
| A bdlletin has been prepared
showing methods of constructing
dust and tar barriers in farm fields
This will be mailed free to any re
sident of Ohio upon request to tn,

SIGNIFICANT RESEMBLANCE

The resemblance between the fea-
lures of Senator Harding and the
face Of Washington, as we know it
through the Stuart portlhit is re-
markable. The Boston Transcript
has emphasized the fact by repro
ducing in its pages a photograph of
the nominee without retouching OF
any kind eyceDt the addition Of the
we'll known Washington wig and
neckwear. The similarity of. the
two faces strike one at once.
