ATTRACTIVE
FARM HOMES
Much Attention Being Given ms
Question By Those Residing IN
The Country. One Important
Item Not To Be Overlooked.

The transformation that has tax
en- place in the appearance OF 1arH
homes, both the exterior ana IN
terror. within the past few years.
has been marvellous. Today many
country homes are as beautlful anu
inviting in appearance as tnose
seen in the best residence sections Oh
the cities. ~
Although tastes differ as to the
choice of flowers and shrubDery,
and the interior decorations are SUB
iect to the whims of the women, the
general opinion seems to be that the
finishing touch to all is given by the
selection of the Ohio State Journai
as the newspaper for the home.
For over III years this great
publication has been a welcome
messenger to the people. Your
prandfather was no doubt one OF
the early supporters of the Ohio
state Journal and cleaned the news
nf his day from its columns.
The Ohio State Journal has made
otaadv advancement and maintained

newsnaper. The farmer and his
family are interested in the news OF

topics of the day; the continued
stories; Jane Hope; Daily Patterns;
Mutt and Jeff in their daily foolish
ness and numerous other features
appearing exclusively in the Ohio
state Journal. The Westerman car
tOOns are always interesting ano

From business standpoint the
Ohio State Journal is a necessity to
the farmer. The Grain. Live Stock

Writes from Oyerton, Nebraska

WTICcS from OVeftOn, NcDraSka
Enclosed find bank draft for
$3.50, as a Christmas gift to myself
for another years reading of the
Democrat.
When I read the election report
in the paper, my pride in my birth
place and county was advanced
100 per cent by the insignificant
number of voters who cast their
ballots for beer and wine, and the
rousing majority against 1t. Then
the figures 10000 never looked so
good to me as they did in the report
of the majority in the state for the
welfare of the good old state of
Ohio.
Also when reading the report OF
the Morgan county fair, we won
dered why the agricultural associa-
tion had not celebrated it's semi
centennial, or golden anniversary
II we might be excused for making
suggestion to this honorable body
we would suggest that they start in
the near future to arrange for a
diamond anniversary and home
coming. 1t is only six years hence
and If other wanderers from the
parent nest feel as l do, it will be
the greatest home coming event in
the history of Morgan county. And
Mr.. Editor, we will wager $40 dog
against five cent slice of George
Blankenbuhler's ginger cake and
his glass of cider, that the most in.
teresting topic on that day would
be the races between Baldwin's ole
Mike and Loughridge's Lady Wag
oner.-J. w. Dunaway.

TO SEEK SUSPENSION
 OF PROPOSED RAISES IN BENZ0L RAIL RATES
Wofford Oil Co. Affected By Increase Planned By
 Carriers

The Birmingham Traffic associa- tion has prepared and will file with the interstate commerce commission petition asking for suspension of the proposed rate increases on benzol and blended gasoline from Birming- ham to Atlanta and Macon, Ga, pub lished to go into effect April 21. These rates affect the Wofford Oil company, which blends Birmingham district benzol obtained from the by product plants with gasoline and does an extensive business in adja- cent states. Georgia included.
 Present rate to Atlanta Is 27 cents and the carriers propose to raise it to 30 cents. The present rate to Ma con is S2 cents and that proposed to 35 cents. It Is understood that the increase would amount to third of a cent gallon.
 It Is stated that tho carriers have tried for three years to increase this rate, but so far each effort has been staved off In one way or another. Now that the carriers have published the rate, traffic officials say the only thing to do Is to go direct to the commission. This they are doing.
 The blending of by-product benzol and gasoline is a distinctly Birming- ham enterprise, having been origi- mated several years ago by George T. Wofford. head of the Wofford Oil company. Entire benzol output of some Birmingham by-products plants Is utilized in this business.

 Curtis was tried in juvenile court where he received a sentence of IF months labor and fine of $10O. On appeal he was permitted to enter a plea of guilty and discharged upon paying a fine. Judge Heflin, who heard the case, later edocketed 1t on the ground that he had been misled as to the facts In the case.
