=. III. TANNEHLL DRY AND
ALWAYS DRY

The following letter written in re-
spOnse to an inquiry of Mr.. Grant
McElfresh of Caldwell. as to Mr..
Tannehill's position on the wet and
dry question, establishes beyond
doubt Mr.. Tannehill's proclivities.
In addition to Mr. Gray's letter,
Prosecuting Attorney of Muskingum
county, G. A. Maxwell, adds his tes-
timony as to Mr.. Tannehill's present
position on the liquor question in
Musklngum county. Anyone wish
ing to know how Tannehill stands
can be convinced beyond a reason
able doubt, by the careful perusal
of these letters, which follow:
July 27, 1922
Mr.. Grant McElfresh,
Caldwell, O.,
Dear Sir:-Knowing that four
years ago just few days before the
primary, it was circulated that Mr.
p. H. Tannehill, candidate for
Congress then, as we'll as now, was
not just, right on the wet and dry
question, and wanting to. see justice
done, prompts me to write this let
ter
| have known Mr.. Tannehill for
many years, and have known him to
be always strictly temperance
man. Something like Is years ago.
when we had six or seven saloons
in our town, he was one of the sign
ers to the dry petition asking for
vote on the question under the Beal
law. This was at time when it
took courage to take your stand on
the dry side. (The dry side of the
question at this time was not near
ly so popular as it is now.) He not
only signed this dry petition, but
voted with us. And then about four
years later he was made Chairman
OF the Senatorial convention that
nominated Mr.. Rose and Mr.. Sites
Mr.. Rose, as you know, was the
author of the county local option
law. This convention was about
evenly divided between the vets and
drys-there were one or two con
testing legations--and never saw
the wet and dry lines drawn closer. |
and If he had wobbled the least bit |
toward the vets, Rose and Sites
would have been defeated. 1t was
well known to Mr.. Tannehill and the |
delegates of this convention that if /!
these two men were nominated they
were going to make great effort to
nave some advance laws passed III |
regard to the saloon, and the county
local option law was the result In
six months after this Rose law be- |
came effective there were more than
so counties in this state voted dry
under its provisions. This was by
far the greatest step toward getting
rid of the saloons that had been
made up to this time, and Mr.. Tan
nehill had much to do with bring
ing this about.

Color In the Fall.

A desirable tree for brilliant fall
color is the sour gum or tupelo. This
makes large almost round-headed
tree with very dark green foliage In
the summer and brilliant red leaves in
the autumn. Even as early as August
there may be few scattered leaves
that change color, giving promise Of
the brilliancy that is to follow. The
tree Is common in New England and
the northern and eastern states.
The scarlet oak is even brighter than
the red oak In its fall colors and Is
equally as brilliant as the gums. says
the American Forestry Magazine. It's
foliage being more finely divided than
that Of the red oak gives 1t lighter,
more airy appearance, while the red of
its leaves is most emphatic. 1t is
widely distributed throughout the east
ern half of the country.
In marked contrast to the brilliant
reds Of some trees In the fall is the
yellow of the sugar or hard maple.
This is a native of gravelly and other
well-drained soils of the northern
states and southwark in and near the
mountains. 1t reaches It's greatest per-
lection in western New England, New

Currency TerminoIouy.

Our currency Technology is de-
rived from various sources. The five
cent coin. long designated as
nickel" because it is of nickel alloy,
has in recent years become known as
"jitney." The dime has a mere an
cient lineage. Its remote ancestor is
the Latin term "decem." signifying
ten. In early times this Latin term
was adopted in England via France
and the Norman conquest. The spell
ing was corrupted into "dlsme" In
those days the church was supported
chiefly by tithes consisting of one
tenth of each mans income, so disme
came to be used for the word 1.-THE.
Long after the spelling was changed
to "dime."
The term quarter" signifying rs
cents. grew out of a practice of ne
cessity in the early days in the West.
There was hardly any fractional cur
rency In circulation. The standard
silver coin was the old Spanish pillar
dollar. When small change was need
ed the dollar was taken TO a black
smith shop and cut into halves, quar-
tiers and eighths. The eighth fraction
OF the dollar was so small that II
came to be known as "bit." and
that term is still used for one shilling
on the Pacific coast.

Wood Tar OIL Uses.

The oils that are obtained from the
distillation of wood tar can be used as
substitutes In the place of various veg
etable and mineral oils in much the
same manner as the oils obtained from
the dlstillation of coal tar and Ignite
tar. However, in order to make the
wood tar oils available for use in this
manner II is necessary 10 ;rear them
chemically so as to deacidify them and
destroy their tendency to oxidize
easily. Two processes for accom-
plishing this are described In Seife.
1922, page 633. In both processes the
oil fraction. recovered at $50 degrees
G, is treated with caustic lime and air
is blown through it at the same time
until the oil will no longer absorb oxy-
gen from the air. The water Is then
removed and the oil is distilled, yield
ing a product which is entirely free
from acidity and which will no longer
oxidize in the air. 1t is accordingly
available for use as lubricant

Chicago Get. Prehistoric Monster.


Eight million years ago a dinosaur
crawled into a depression In a torrid
equatorial belt In Alberta, Cam, and
died.
For eight million years his grave was
unmolested. His kind became extinct,
glaciers swept down, mountains formed
over his resting place.
When the old dinosaur-50 feet long
and 80 tons in weight-died the equa-
tor was due north of Chicago and the
Mississippi waterways was an actual
ity, with the Gulf of Mexico stretching
to the North pole. scientists say.
Recently, however, the elements had
so worn down the mountain near Red
Deer river, 125 miles west Of Calgary,
that the last layer Of soil was swept
away and the dinosaur bones were
barred.
Prof. e. 8. Riggs, associate curator
of geology for the Field Museum of
Natural History, Chicago, with five
companions. stumbled across the huge
bones Now they'll go to the Field mu-
scum to be stared at by city folks.
Getting out the dinosaur bones
many Of which weighed $500 pounds
or more-was a tremendous task. 1t
was necessary to build roads In some
places.

that one came out Of the stony walls

all this as breach Of discipline. She
arose and went down Into the heart
