there will be contest between Will

ator L. M. Price of Smyrna whose
term expires. Mr.. Rawley is basing
his fight largely on the fact that his
end of the district has not been repre-
| sented in the Senate for twenty years
and he contends Leipsic is entitled to
the nomination. There will be many
contests for Representatives. In the
second Arthur F. Dawes a farmer liv-
ing near Dover and John d. Hawkins,
attorney have both filed. Two candi-
dates for the legislature have filed in
each the first, third, fourth and sixth
representative districts. In the eighth

How heavily the country will be hit
by strikes may be gauged by the fact
that Henry Ford announces that his
plants will be shut down indefinitely
on September 1 because of the coal
shortage. When they will be reopen
ed is a question. AS a consequence
125,OOO employees of the Ford Motor
Company throughout the country will
be without jobs, and several hundred
thousands of others engaged in indus
try furnishing material for the Ford
factories will be minus employment.
This is drastic action.
"The consequence of this" says the
Morning News, twill be widespread.
Perhaps Mr.. Ford decided on this
move, not only because of the shortage
of fuel, but also because he wished
forcibly to demonstrate to the country
the dangers and disadvantages of in
dustrial conflicts, strikes, and the like,
with the bull-headed refusal of the
parties in the dispute to get together.
"But they are not alone to be CEN
sured. The country has had expert
ences with strikes before. They would
be fixed in some sort of fashion and
then preparations would be made for
another conflict. Instead of the gov
eminent providing some reasonable
means of adjusting these disputes and
preventing the industrial warriors
from holding the country by the throat
the policy of happy-go-lucky, and
drift was followed until we are now
in another struggle which is certain
to cause heavy loss all round.
"The people will have another DEM
onstration similar to that Mr.. Ford is
giving when they begin to suffer the
pangs of cold due to the inability to
secure fuel: We have moved along
so slowly toward an adjustment that
even should the miners get to work a
shortage would not be averted. And
the best advise people can get from
some quarters is that they should be
prepared to burn soft coal. This, of
course, is not the worst of it.
"The present situation is as if there
were persons starving in Russia, OF
in some other country, though within
sight of their doors there were thous.
ands of acres of wheat ready for the
harvest, but the starving people quar-
relied so much that they would no
harvest the wheat, preferring to q
hungry.
zone trouble is that President Hard
ing is beset by a swarm of advisor
whose opinions conflict. Some tel
him to seize the railways and Goa
mines and operate them for the bene
fit of the people, and the President i
said to have decided upon this course
But others say such a step is file
with peril. The President certainl
does not wish to take such radical az
ton.
"What do the opponents propose
Nothing, so far as we can see.
would be different in the anthracit
regions if, for instance, the places {
the strikers could be filed by me
competent to mine. The assumptic
has been that if they were protectt
from violence many of the mine
would return to work but this h;
proved to be untrue. The governmen
however, must act before long"

One thing that Smyrna needs to put
it among the more progressive towns
is a systematic garbage collection
system. The present plan of keeping
slop buckets around the kitchen door
for dogs to upset, to say nothing of
the foul unhealthy odors arising
therefrom should be done away with
In all progressive towns and cities
there is a regular systematic garbage

INSECTS FIRST IN THE FIELD
Many Of Mankind's so-caIied Inver-
lions and Accomplishments Have
Been Copied From Them.

One cannot read the work Of M.
Fabre without being struck by the fact
that man in many Of his Inventions
and mechanical accomplishments, has
after oil been preceded in those ac-
complishments by insects.
The bee and the wasp used hypo-
dermic needles long before we thought
Of them, and the bee used forlnic acid
as al antlseptic to preserve its honey
from fermentation.
The spider made the first suspeu-
sion bridge, and certain kinds Of that
Insect have been able to construct
their own airships and a workable sort
OF diving bell. The bee manufactures
wax that we cannot today even imi-
tate, and a worm Is still unrivaled in
the manufacture of silk thread.
TO these skilled artisans might be
added the ant, which makes tunnels
and subways; the mason bee with its
cement work and the great peacock
moth which was able to call its kind
from long distance by means Of some
Invisible agency, long before man had
dreamed Of the possibility Of wireless
telegraphy.
