Gov. Donahey Vetoes Ohio Bible Bill

principles of civil and religious liberty
which have made our government the
model for the world"
The governor then cited bill
passed by the legislature two years
ago over his veto, accepting as state
property the John Bryan farms on
terms prohibiting forever any form of
religious public worship thereon.
"In the one instance the general as
Sembly forbade religious worship in a
portion of our state. In the other
the assembly seeks to compel the state
to teach religion to all the school chill
dren of Ohio without regard to the
teachings received at their mothers
knees. 1t is my belief that religious
teachings in our homes, Sunday
schools and churches, by the good
mothers, fathers and ministers of Ohio
is far preferable to compulsory teach
ings of religion by the state"
The governor further held that the
bill was unnecessary, because under
existing Ohio law, when the people Of
local communities desired or demand
ed it, boards of education in their dis
cretion might require the reading of
the Bible as a part of the daily pro-
gram in public schools.

Bordeaux Mixture Properly
Applied Is Best Plan.

Tests made each year on series
of from four to twenty plots Of Irish
potatoes during the past ten years
show that it pays to spray this crop
for most profitable yields.
During the years from 1915 to 1920
a series Of six tests was conducted at
various places in eastern Carolina on
the early crop by DR.. r. w. Leiby
Of the North Carolina experiment sta
ton staff. In this section the pota-
toes are hurried to maturity being
planted early and heavily fertilized
Here the most important factor is
the potato beetle, though early blight
occasionally attacks the vines and hills
before the potatoes are ready to har-
vest. In each of the tests, certain
rows were sprayed, some were busted
and others were left untreated as a
check.

and sometimes at night nibbles a little
candy if she is hungry.
Ever since the founding of Eliza
beth Porter Putnam chapter, D. A. r.,
it has been the custom of the mem
bers to make a visit annually to the
real daughter at her home in East
ford village.
Mrs BradWay was born in Eastford
April 30, 1918, the daughter Of Allen
and Sarah (HarWood Bosworth. Her
father was native of Eastford,
where he was born in 1853. Mr. Bos-
worth was twice married and the
father Of seven children, of whom Mrs.
BradWay is the only survivor. She was
child of the second marriage.
Shortly after the outbreak Of the
Revolutionary war, Allen Bosworth en-
listed for service. His death occurred
in 1880, when his daughter Sarah was
only twelve years of age.
The EastfOrd woman has two daugh-
ters living, fifteen grandchildren, twen-
ty-one great grandchildren and four
eat-grandchildren.

expects to have about $500000 to in

Mr.. Bryan, who has lectured daily

Mr.. Straus wished it to be made
known that he is especially interested
now in milk pasteurization in Eng
land. and in reconstruction work in
Palestine.
There was a great pile of letters
and kilograms from Jewish organiza
tiOns and from the fields of public
service and private and public philan-
thropies, in which Mr.. Straus has long
been identified. One letter, which
pleased him very much was from
those in charge of the soup kitchens
in Jerusalem, which Mr. Straus estab-
lished in 1912 and which gives a free
meal daily to 1900 of the aged and
infirm with no restrictions as to race,
creed or color.
Mr.. Straus was born in Rhenish
Bavaria and came to this country in
1854 with his family, which settled in
Talbotton, Ga. Later they came to
New York, where he was graduated
from the Packard Business college. 1t
was after he had joined his father
in L. Straus & Sons, importers OF pot
terry and glassware, in 1866, that he
met Miss Lima Gutherz, who became
his wife and has been his c0worker In

In considering the bill, the veto

THE founders of our country, hav-

Golden wedding celebrations are

Mr. Straus, as his fiftieth wedding an

relatives and friends who wanted to
show their love and admiration in

to make some contribution to charity
in the name of himself and Mrs.

The luncheon was the only festivity
of the day. Mr. Straus is now seventy
seven years old and his wife seventy

against too much excitement, so he
had to decline to see interviewers.

the federal court trial of Colonel
William Cooper Proctor S suit to
collect $4,000 from Colonel A. A.
Sprague.
The ease may reach the jury be-
fore night.
John s. Miller, attorney for
Sprague, asked the jury not to be
swayed by any charity for Proctor,
millionaire Cincinnati soap manu-
facturcr. He then read from law
books to support HIS contention
that although Sprague joined Proc
ter in signing a 100000 note with
which to pay in part the expenses
of the Major General Wood presi-
dental boom in 1920, his client was
not legally responsible for half or
any part of the full 100000
Proctor, the attorney said, want

initiated and directed the Wood
boom, taking full responsibility for
all expenses.
''There is no reason why Colonel
Sprague should make Colonel Proc

Miller. of this had been legal
obligation my client would have
paid it.
"The note could have been set
tied easily out of campaign con.
tributions coming iLto national

Proctor paid it. When he did that
hc released Colonel Sprague from

G. d. Bender, inspector in the di-
vision of chemistry, state depart
ment of agriculture, will be at the
office of Horticultural Commission
er Harrigan in the court house for
the next two weeks, for the purpose
of assisting ranchers in purchasing
commercial fertilizer.
Ranchers who desire to do so,
may bring samples of fertilizer
which they intend to purchase to
the commissioner s office, where an
analysis of it will be made by
Bender. There is no charge for this
service, the state defraying the ex-
pense with the idea of bringing the
services of the department of agri-
culture to the rancher.
Those contemplating the purchase
of fertilizer are urged to obtain
samples of it, before making pur-
chase, and through the free analysis
they will be able to protect them
selves.
Legitimate commercial fertilizer
agents and companies are in full
accord with the work Of the state
department, and encourage the prac-

TELL OF WILSON
EFFORTS IN Is
TO STOP STRIFE

NEW YORK, Oct. IA secret
memorandum setting forth Prcsi-
dent Wilson S efforts in 1916 TO end
the war is one of the enlightcning
disclosures in Viscount Grcy's vol
umes of memoirs just published.
Lord Grey, England $ foreign
secretary during the first years
OF the war, declares Wilson would
have called a conference among
England, France, and Germany for
the purpose Of ending military op-
crations and says that if the CON
ference failed the United. States
would have entered the war on the
side of the allies.
The viscount takes sharp issue
with those who hold that the old
diplomacy was responsible for the
war, giving It's the real reason for
the conflict the competition in
armaments which had strained
nerves of all Europe and bred fear
and suspicion.
Relating to the coming to Eng
land of Colonel House as the friend
"4i'i ''HAl'tdul VI lCSlUcnl w llSOn,
Lord Grey says:
House considered that the
United States could be brought into
tic war in the early DAYS; immcd
lately after the sinking of the Lusi,
tania he thought this might have
been possible, but with the excep-
tion of that passing moment, he
considered that an attempt to bring
tine United States into the war
would be premature and unsucccss-
ful.
I'm February, 1916, House drafted
with me a memorandum to define
as precisely as could be done in ad.
vance the action that President Will
son would be prepared to take aid
tie terms of peace that he would
use all the influence of this country
to secure
This memorandum was taken
back to Washington and after
House had conferred with Wilson
he cablcd confirmation, the Nis-
count says.
