held regularly. With the splendid
musical start so many Of our young
people are getting, they too will
soon be valuable baud members,
and the band will be ssbetter and
better every day in every way"
Just now the band boys are con-
sidering the purchase of new uni
forms. While those who play in the
band may get some pleasure in their
practices, these get stale, and like
Especially if there happens
to be some attraction they wish to
attend at the same time practice
meetings come on. From finan-
cial standpoint the band is a losing
proposition. And those who get
most benefit out of it, are not the
band boys, but the people in gener-
al of the two towns. We are all
mighty glad we have band, but do
we always show our proper appre-
citation and consideration of it?
We may be mistaken, but it ap-
pears to us that it is very rarely, if
ever, an occasion arises here, of
such greatness, that it is necessary
to do the mail order house stunt of
sending away" for a band or an or
chestra, at many times the cost of
getting one at home, and even at
that, get but very little if any bet
ter music, than from our own home

HOW LONG?

On another page We are publish
ing some agricultural statistics un'
der the caption Farm Prices Show
Moderate Decline" These figures
are compared with those of a year
ago. This report is from the U. S
Department of Agriculture. 1t will
be noted that the decline is most
pronounced in eggs, hogs, cattle
milk and butter, with grain prices
unchanged. These are the things
that our farmers in Morgan county
have to SELL In the face of these
facts, is it any wonder the farmers
are complaining? That Fordney
tariff measure passed a few months
ago is doing for the farmer what
the axe does to the chicken. What
makes it doubly bad is that it is
cutting two ways-gouging the
farmer deeper and deeper. This de-
cline and low prices might not be
quite so bad for the farmer if the
necessities of life he purchases
showed a similar decline. However
instead of declining they have ad-
vanced. Table expenses are increas-
ing. Look at sugar for example.
While there has been no sugar fam
inc or scarcity, the prices have soar
ed. Some place vast fortunes are
being made. Cotton goods have ad-
vanced by leaps and bounds; floor
coverings, woolens, etc, are going
ditto, and high taxes show no let up.
How long is it really expected that
the farmer can stand such a state of
affairs? Every bushel of wheat he
raises at the present prices, if fig
ured out, shows that he raises it at
an actual financial loss.
The farmer has been given many
an unjust legislative blow, but none
have been worse than this last rob-
Der tariff measure.
And this is normalcy.

An important subject discussed
was Teaching of Physical educa-
ton in the public schools" 25 to
300 of the young men of Ohio were
found unfit for military service
during the draft. More men from
country and rural districts were re-
jected on account of physical disa-
bility, than from cities and towns.
Country children in rural schools
show more physical defects than
city school children. Ohio cities
have had a degree of physical edu-
cation for about 20 years. The fol-
lowing have gone on record to sup

to have you try them.

Shortly after the first of the year
it was decided by the local Post OF
the American Legion to have pic
ture shown under their auspices in
our opera house A committee was
appointed to make the choice of the
picture, and to see that it was prop
erIy advertised. This committee
selected the wonderful picture Skin
Deep" This picture has been SO
much in demand by the various
Posts of the Legion, that it was
only by waiting with the order in
for date, for nearly two months,
that it was secured for its show
ing here.
Now that we are assured Of hav-
ing this wonderful picture shown
here the committee in charge
wishes TO say to the public that if
they attend picture shows they
should not fail to see "Skin Deep"
as it is entirely out of the ordinary.
1t is not war picture, and the
scenes depicted in it by the great
actor Milton Sills and the splendid
supporting cast will make you feel
after having seen it, that it has been
worth while. 1t is strong charac-
ter picture, full of thrills, that will
bring home to you the real neces-
sity of proper living, clean life, with
wholesome entertainment.
Skin Deep will be shown at
our opera house March 1913, at
the popular prices of 10 and 30c
There will be two shows each even
ing, and from the interest that is
being shown, four full houses are
anticipated. Don't forget the date,

Ohio Is Sixth Wool State

The 1922 wool clip in Ohio
amounted to 13,596,000 pounds.
This is three per cent increase
over last year according to Statis-
tician c. J. West Of the State-Feder-
al Crop Reporting Service. Ohio
ranks sixth in the production OF
wool. Wyoming is first with 1922
production of 22,500,000 pounds.
Texas is second with production
of 100000 pounds, Montana,
Idaho and Utah also exceed Ohio
in the size of last years clip.
The states exceeding Ohio
are all Western or range
states. The wool from these
states is called TERRITORY" wool
as distinguished from the "fine"
wool of Ohio and other Eastern
states. Ohio is by far the largest
producing state east of the Missis-
sippi river. Michigan, the second
largest, produces only a little more
than half as much as Ohio.
