RAILROAD CULPABLE FOR
LODI MANS DEATH
Coroner's Report Declares Whistle
Not Blown

In his return to the court of the re-
port of the inquest he conducted in
the accidental death of Sidney a.
Auble, which occurred near Spencer
on the afternoon of April IL, Coroner
E. L. Crum of Lodi lodges the blame
for the accident on the crew of the
train which ran into Mr.. Auble.
The deceased while driving his
fearse to Spencer in the funeral cor
tege Of the late Mrs. Manford Burkey
(of Rivers Corners, was run into by
tn eastbound passenger train Of the
A. c. & Y. and instantly killed.
Following is the text of Coroner
Crum's report:
"After having heard the evidence
examined the body, and considered
the facts and circumstances, / do find
that the said deceased came to his
death by criminal negligence on the
part of the crew of certain passen-
ger train on the a., c. & Y. R. r.,
which left Spencer, Medina County
o., about 3:20p. m, on Monday, April
IL, 1921, and which was running at a
high rate of speed, about 10 to 2C
minutes behind schedule time, and
which ran down the funeral car which
Mr.. Auble was driving, without whist.
Ling at the whistle post.
SIT is a fact that embankments on
both sides Of the track at the curve
in the railroad just west of the road
crossing obstructed the view to with
in about 400 feet Of the crossing.
Therefore, this train coasting quiet

sassin in the night. Signed E. 4.

WARNING TO FARMERS
r. AGAINST HOG REMEDY
Doctor and Dope Under Scrutiny of
Officials

Warning has been sent to the farm
ers of Medina county to look out for
Dr. d. w. Nolan and his so called
hog remedy.
a very systematic investigation has
been made Of this n1an and his REM
Redy. Noxine has been ,anafysed by
a chemist of the Ohio Dairy and Food
Department., and it is alleged to be oi
very little medicinal value. The
Farm Bureau has on file score or
more of letters from farmers who have
used Noxine, who state they have
lost their hogs by the use of this
treatment.
Noxine, it is reported, in the dis
eases prescribed, would act only as
"a feeble dsinfectant of the digestive
tract, and that the small amount of
alcohol which such a dose of Noxine
contains would have little or no thera-
peutic value. To use it indiscriml-
nately, therefore, as a treatment for
all swine diseases is not only a waste
Of time and money, but its use may
postpone or prevent proper treatment
1t costs $500 per bottle, and it must
bring to the manufacturer a very
handsome profit.
In brief, Noxine has no curative
value, and if good results have been
obtained from it ethey must have come
from following out the sanitary and
hygienic recommendations which the
manufacturer insists must accompany
its use. A complete report of this in
vestigation will be made in the very
near, future.
1t has been learned that there are
several agents operating in Ohio who
are selling a material to be used to
innoculate fruit trees for scale, worms
and most all other troubles to which
fruit trees are heir. This sort of a
schceme has been tried off and on for
several hundred years.
There is not an Experiment Station
College of Agriculture or experienced
fruit grower who is willing to place
a particle Of value in this method of
pest control. 1t has been tried out
by Experiment Stations innumerable
times with absolutely no beneficial
results. Farm Bureau members OF
Ohio have been warned to be on the
lookout for such agents.

WELLS AT SHARON CENTER
CONDEMNED BY STATE
Public Supply o. X. But Inadequate
Says Report

Concerning the water supply at
Sharon Center, an analysis Of which
was recently made by the State
Health Department at the instance Of
County Health Commissioner DR.. II.
Il. Biggs, report just received by
DR.. Biggs reads as follows:
AT your request a representative
Of this department visited Sharon
Center to examine we'll supplies in
that community. Two wells were ex-
amined known respectively as the
Brown and Brandebury wells, located
in the western part Of the village. The
examination of these wells indicated
that they are unsafe sources of water
supply and these conclusions are con-
firmed by the results Of analysis Of
samples collected from the Brown
well which gave evidence of contan1i-
nation. -
AT the same time examination was
made Of the public water supply of
Sharon Center and the results of ex-.
animation of samples of this supply
gave satisfactory findings. IT is
obvious therefore that the Brown and
Brandebury wells should be- abandon
ed and the public water supply of
Sharon Center should be substituted.
(Signed: w. H. Dittoe, Chief Engi-
neer.)
Mr.. Dittoe also addressed the fol-
lowing letter to The Sharon Spring
Water Co.:
Dear Sirs: A, representative of
this department. visited Sharon Cent
er on March II and examined the pub.
hc water supply of that village. Sam
pies of the supply collected at this
time indicate the water to be of salts
factory sanitary quality. The exam
nation OF the development of the
supply indicates that it is safe.
The only comment which we desire
to make is in regard to the adequacy
OF the development for the needs Of
the community. We advise that i'm
provements be made which will per-
init more complete utilization of the
yield in order that all residents Of the
community may be served by this sup

BURKE LET'S LOOSE
HERE ON RIPPER BILL
Scores Advances by confreres te
Win Him Over.

Senator J. Frank Burke of Elyria
addressed members Of the Winyah
club last Friday night in response to
the clubs invitation to come here and
tell them Of the workings Of the Ohio
Senate.
His formidable and relentless fight
in the Senate against the notorious
ripper bill Of Gov. Davis recently has
brought the name Of Senator Burke
very prominently before the people Of
the state and his talk To the Winyah
club last Friday night verify dealt
with the workings" Of the Senate, hut
specifically dealt with the work" Of
that body in putting across the Gov
efn0r's blll.
Senator Burke stated that he had
made a careful search Of all rulings
concerning emergency legislation and
had been unable to, discover one that
could ~ Offered ins feAse Of Till Bin.
Pressure Of all kinds had been brot
to bear against the Senator, he stated,
to desist from his attack upon the
measure, a'sample of which was that
a friendly attitude toward, or passive
acquiescence in the passage Of the
bill would be the means Of diverting
a considerable number of political ap-
pointments to his home county, Lo-
rain. Advances Of this character, said
the Senator, came principally from
his Republican confreres in the Sen
ate, one of whom, said the Senator,
made the audacious statement that, so
far as the referendum is concerned,
the people don't know enough to de-
eide as to what is best for them in
the matter Of legislation, and there
was no reason why the ripper bill
should be referred to them.
From Senator Burke's statements
it was clearly to be inferred that he
believes the passage Of the ripper bill
has sounded the political death knell
Of Gov. Davis, and that the Supreme
Court will be the one to trumpet taps
when it comes to pass upon the con-
stitutionality of the measure.
The Senator intimated that his own
chances for returning to the Senate
two years hence had been threatened
by his attitude toward the ripper bill,
but he mirthfully told the Winyah
members that a defeat certainly
would not incur any financial loss, al
tho when the time comes he said that
he may have a, lingering desire to re-
turn
There was large attendance of
Winyah club members to greet Sena-
tor Burke and light luncheon was
served following the Senator's adj
dress.

uuIE changes OF time have nothing on the changes in
tarir views in Delaware and many other States. Rep
resentatve Frank Clark Of Florida, is free trader on
everything but pneappes and leaf tobacco but he has
saunch his advocacy Of protective rates those
two Floridan products
The Senators and Representatives from Louisiana are
wholly apathetc concerning protection other Amer-
products but when comes up FOR discussion,
they monopoize the legislative floors they present
their terrorizng arrays Of statistics to prove that
Louisiana must be protected or the country will
go to smash.
Birmingham steel industries when he framed the tariff
bin which scheduled for the ash barrel just as
the Republican bill is passed.
Mr. Clark and the Louisiana soons have been consistent
in their consistency respecting protection but when SEN
aor Ashurst Of Arizona pleaded with the finance com
mee for free trade in tomatoes from Mexico, recently
he used language which would read strangely il set in
parallel columns with speech he made few weeks back
fayorlng protection and above ALL protection to the cot
growers OF his home State You they don't raise
many tomatoes Arizona but they do raise considerable
long staple cotton and Ashurst wanted the Republican
duty rate on that commodity raised TO the sky.
Another funny one to hear Neyle Coquitt, OF
Georgia begging the finance committee the othea day for
duty Of four pound peanuts The rate in the
pending Republican arir bill it passed the House Is
three cents the unsheed Coquitt wanted that duty
raised 80 per cent the way he turned the tremulo
stop pleaded for the down rod peanut producers OF
the South and described the Of poverty and
wrechedness which would ensue peanuts received only
three cents duty would have brought tears to the eyes Of
an obsidan idol
The joke OF 1t is that Colquitt was clerk Of the ways
and means committee when Oscar Underwood was its
chairman That committee fixed duty OF threeeighths
OF cent pound unshelled and threequarters OF
cent pound shelled peanuts and they have been
ing in by shlpoads from China and Spain since Col
quit as clerk Of the committee had considerable to do
with the framing OF the Underwood tariff law and had he
been staunch supporter Of the peanut industry then
as he was before committee the other day he might
have exerted not little influence In rescuing 1t from

up from Geawga" and being paid TO help the free
trade cause; while in 1921 he is Washington attorney

Peanuts will get protective rates all right but three

MOTHER
NJ @. RoBBNs-

Mother used to sit at nighttime.
Near the fre-light's ruddy glow,
with the dear old Bible near her.
And in accents sweet and low
she would read such dear old stories
With a smile upon her face,
Preaching us such words OF wisdom
Such as time cannot efface.
Mother never spoke harsh word
Never frowned upon her child,
She had learned the good old lesson,
To be always meek and mild.
II we erred In childish ignorance,
she would call us to her side.
And would tell us OF the Christ
Child.
That for little children died.
When the day was spent and ended,
And twas time TO go to bed,
She would. with such tender kind
ness,
Say a blessing on our head.
She would kneel right down beside
us,
Whisper words OF fervent prayer,
Even now I see the nre-light,
Cleaning on her silver hair.
Well. her life-work here is ended.
She has entered into rest,
She has won her crown of glory.
She now lives among the blessed.
Yes. she sleeps beneath the daisies
In a grave so dark and cold.
But her ransomed spirit revels.
In that city made of gold.

condition at home, as well as in
many of the other wheat countries
of the world, with other important
crops below their average, and with
drought cast as the villain, or at least
as an accomplice, in each case. the
difference that a few showers make
in humanity's scheme of things is
strongly emphasized.
while everybody realizes in a
general way that the world depends
on rainfall and fertility for food.
there are very few, perhaps, who
even approximately appreciate how
comparatively little the farmer ac-
tually does in the great process Of
crop growing. To pillow millions of
acres furrow by furrow. to spend
millions of dollars on fertilizers. and
to reap and gather and thresh, is no
mean task.
And yet conn ID with the part
that Nature plays In the process,
mans work seems a very slight labor.
For instance, II takes about twenty
inches Of rainfall to grow a food
crop under our general farming
methods, which means about 2260
tons Of water to the acre. That seems
a preposterous figure, but the doubter
can easily demonstrate its correct
ness. Suppose the American farmer
had to haul the water his ground
must have to give him a good crop,
and that the distance and freight
rate were the same as the average
railroad haul and rate in the United
states. on that basis. il would cost
him more than $4,000 an acre to
water his place.
But not only would his water bill
be nearly half a million dollars on a
100-acre farm, but his fertilizer bill,
also, would amount to a neat little
sum. 1t is estimated that in the proc
ess of normal evaporation. soil water

hood with about fourteen pounds Of
ammonia year TO the acre. Also, it
gives them some fifty-seven pounds
of potash. With sulphate Of ammonia
costing only 2 cents a pound (it cost

pounds of the sulphate required to
contribute seventeen pounds OF am
monia, It will be seen that the pro-

Any one who knows the Statue Of
Liberty, as Bartholdrs statue in New
York hsrbor is called, probably re
calls that it is built upon a small
piece Of land known as Bedloe's Is
land. The usual spelling is Bedloe,
though 1t was named for former
owner whose name was spelled Bed
low 1t is said that the difference
of spelling was due to a little error
in a certain document recording the
sale Of this island.
The first of the Bedlows here was
Isaac Bedlow, a native of Holland
and son of George Bedlow, physician
to william Prince of Orange. Isaac
emigrated from LeydeR Holland, In
1889 and made his home in New
Amsterdam. Five years he served
as alderman of the city Of New Am
sterdam and acquired by purchase
the Island that bears his name.
A descendant of this Isaac Bed
low was William Bedlow who was
postmaster of the first United States
