F|ockiing to Cities

Olympia, Wash.-In a scathing
speech to the annual convention of
the Washington federation of lab
or, A. S. Goss, state grange mas
ter, declared that farmers are be-
ing driven to the cities, where they
are competing with labor, as a re-
suit of the federal reserve boards
policy.
81 ann not exaggerating the far
mers plight" he said, "when | tell
you that 100000 farmers have
left the soil in the past four years.
1t would be impossible to draw a
blacker picture Of this condition
than the actual facts contain.
give thousand farmers have
deserted their own land in this
state in the past year, unable even
to pay their taxes. That is why
we are here warning you that the
ruin of the nations agriculturists
threatens to undermine labor, too.
SIN 1921 Wall street sent out the
order to compel farmers to pay
their notes when due, discontinuing
the rediscount of their paper. Mil
lions of farmers were forced to
sacrifice live stock, machinery,
whatever they had, to meet their
notes. Others gave up. | myself
was forced to sell cows which cost
me $3.50 each for $35 in order to
scrape together enough money to
stave off the banker and the sher-
iff.
"They started with US. They
ended with you, for once 100000
farmers had been dumped on the
labor market in the cities, then the
time was ripe for the anti-union
shop drive which started soon af-
fer"

SOME DIFFERENCE?-YES!

Columbus extends a glad hand to
visitors and does not unnecessarily
enforce any new rules or laws to
scare the people and keep them away
from the city, thereby materially
damaging and curtailing the general
business of the community.

PICK US A GOOD ONE

Probably new member will be
chosen at the next meeting OF the city
council to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Clarence Fulke, Of
the first ward, accepted at the last
session. %.
This is an important office, and the
qualifications of applicants for the
position should be thoroughly inves--
tigated and weighed before a final
decision is made.
We have confidence in the wisdom
of a majority of the council, and feel
assured that no mistake will be made,
and that the right man will be ap-
pointed.

B. 80. SHOPS
MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN
NEWARK'S WELFARE
Millions of Dollars Paid Out in Wages
Annually, Most of Which ia Spent
With Our Home Merchants

Few people in Newark, including
some OF our merchants and business
men, realize the Importance and mag
nltude of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad shops as a booster and ad-
Junct to the general welfare and pros
perlty OF the city. They have been
with US SO long that We consider them
as matter of course and fail to rec
ognize the good they have accom-
plished and what it would mean to
the city should they cease their op-
erations.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad de-
serves and should receive the united
support and cooperation of every
loyal citizen, and every means should
be employed to increase the revenue
OF this company. The officials of the
road and all employees are working
together unitedly towards that end,
and have accomplished wonders in
the way Of gaining new passenger
and freight business. It's up to New
ark citizens to assist in the good work
and to patronize the B. & o. upon all
possible occasions.
The following letter, sent out by
the Cooperative Committee of the
Newark Federated Shop Crafts. con-
talns so much good sound sense that
we reproduce it:
To Newark Business Men:
After a careful Investigation
we are led to believe that more
business could be given to the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad by
our merchants than at present.
And Mr.. Business Man do you
know that a very large percent
age of the people at Newark are
employees of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad and that our local
payroll amounts to half a million
dollars monthly at present and
under normal conditions is much
greater?
A very large percentage of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad en-
ployees are home owners and
therefore permanent residents,
but to be permanent residents
they must have permanent en-
ployment. Permanent employ
ment to US means permanent pat
ronage to you and therefore
permanent success; and do you
realize that as business increases
on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road more employees are return
ed to the service and the more
men that are employed means
greater prosperity to the COM
munity?
Mr.. Business man, do YOU rea-
lie that for every carload of
freight you have shipped to or
from Newark and every passen-
ger carried to or from Newark.
several dollars in wages goes di
rect to resident employees of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in our
City?
For number of years Newark
Merchants have insisted on
trade IN Newark campaign. Now
Mr.. Business Man, why not CO.
operate and ship and receive your
goods over the railroad whose
employees are largely responsible
for your business success and the
steady growth of our city?
Trusting that you will give the
above thoughts the consideration
that we feel they deserve and
assuring you that as employees of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
that it will always be our aim to
give the best and most courteous
service that it is possible to at
tain.
Very truly yours,
Federated Cooperative
Committee,
J. F. Kane, Sec'y.

SAYS THERE'S A DIFFERENCE

One of Newark's leading merchants
made a trip to Marietta the other day
and while on the way parked his ma
chine along the roadway for rest and
refreshment, Che didn't state whether
a portion of the refreshments were or
were not contained in a bottle) and
while taking it easy he was startled
and scared to notice a uniformed mot
or cop making the road hot in his di-
rection, we'll knowing that in his
home town such an occurrence was
sure indication of breakers ahead.
With fear and trembling he await
ed the officers approach, and what
was his surprise instead OF a sum-
mons to appear in court he was greet
ed by the cop with the hearty in
ouiry: "Well folks, any trouble? Is
there anything I can do for you? If
so call on me-"
When he recovered from his swoon
he realized that he had passed the
confines of Licking county and was
in a strange but friendly land.

Van Sweringen Bros.
Control 1900 Miles

Cleveland = The biggest railroad
deal since the palmy days of Harri-
man has just been pulled off by two
brothers who were all but penniless a
few years ago, now control properties
valued at more than a billion dollars.
The Van Sweringens of Cleveland,
who manipulated the securities of the
old Nickel Plate Railroad two years
ago in such manner that they got
four other roads for a gift, and later
secured control of the Chesapeake &
Ohio and the Hooking Valley lines,
have within the past three weeks OBJ
tanned firm grip on the Erie Rail
road, and ownership of more than
100000 shares of the stock of the
Pere Marquette, which indirect con-
troll through friendly financiers to
compel consolidation with their other
lines.
The combined mileage of the roads
thus linked together will exceed 49,
600 miles, extending on the north
from New York and Buffalo to Cleve-
land, Detroit, Toledo, Chicago and
Milwaukee. and on the south from
Newport News and Richmond, Va, to
Charleston, S. c.; Louisville, KY;
Cincinnati, St. Louis and Peoria, Ill.

BOOtIeggers' Theft OF
Arsenic Barrels
Starts Scare

BARLOW, Fla, Jan. 12-
Physicians here were busy to-
day preparing emetics; drug
stores hastily stocked up on
castor oil; a hospital prepared
additional q c C o m m odations,
while ,.undertakers saw to it
that their supply Of caskets was
ample, following the theft of q
number Of arsenic-lined bar
rels, supposedly by bootleggers,
from a truck farm near here
early today.
The barrels had been used
for mixing spraying materials
for treating vegetables and had
among other chemicals con-
tanned paris green" for such
a length Of time that their
slaves had even become i'm
pregnated with the deadly
poison.
Moonshiners in this section
are VIGOROUSLY careless about
such little details as cleanliness
and Sheriff John Logan stated
today that he believed there
would be little difficulty in
tracing the thieves as soon as
the finished product made in
the barrels had reached the
point where it could be sam
pied.

The peril offered by wet and icy

The 1894 model Of the Oakland
Motor Company equipped with the
four-wheel brakes in a recent con-
vincing demonstration on the CLASSY
floor of an indoor ice skating rink
In Cleveland proved that the Oak

ice rink and put the car through a
series Of non.skid tests staged

The slippery ice was selected to
test the efficient brakinR system.
as road conditions at any time of
the year would not be as dangerous,
due to the fact that 1t Is practically
impossible to create traction on

In one remarkable test the car
running at a speed Of from twenty
two to twenty-five miles an hour
was brought to a stop on the ice
within a distance of about twenty
Feet without skidding. The rear

from the time the brakes were ap.
piled until the car was stopped.

OF eighteen to twenty miles an
