Our forefathers thought that they
had something on their hands, to
save themselves from being toma-
hawked and scalped by the Indians.
Now we have gangsters, racketeers
and outlaws of our own race to con-
tend with. Which way is civiliza-
ton going?
While Mrs. Dayton Vandyne was
making a raid upon her cellar, she
found a jar of sorgo syrup which
we had made ten years ago, and it
had been overlooked all this time.
Excepting little formation of
sugar, it was as fine as when first
sealed up. We know, as she gave
us a sample. Thanks.

The following may interest some OF
our "noblest men of earth, we
mean tillers of the soil. Last spring
we sowed a patch of ground to clo-
yer, using a thin sprinkling of oats
for nurse crop. The oats came on
finally, short of course, because OF
the dryness, but the clover failed TO
show up. AS the oats were thicker
than we expected or intended them
to be, we decided to harvest them,
using a cradle, and leave as high 8
stubble as we possibly could, as we
were still clinging to little faith
that the clover seed might still be
living. (We were thinking of its
cost, see?) 1t survived the drought
and today we have as fine stand as
anyone would wish to see.

Morgan's Raiders Still Living

, There was a reunion of soldiers
at Lexington, Ky. last week in which
the people of Ohio have special in
terest. 1t was a meeting Of the
remnant of the followers of Gen.
John Morgan, the Confederate cav
airy leader who, in the summer OF
1863 made a raid with command
of several thousand cavalrymen
through southern Indiana and Ohio.
That was 68 years ago this sum
mer and the wonder is that any of
the survivors of that raid are still
living and in a state OF health that
would make a reunion possible. It
shows that Morgan's cavalrymen
were young for the most part, and
were endowed with splendid consti-
tutions.
Along the line Of the raid, zig
gag course through Ohio from the
Indiana line near College Corners.
to Columbiana county where Nor
gan and the bulk Of his men were
captured, there are still living, peo-
pie who witnessed the raid and suf-
fered losses in property because Of
it. From the mouths Of these peo-
pie one can still obtain new stories
about the rapidity Of the raiders
movements and the lodging tactics
which kept the federal troops, that
pursued him, guessing, and guess
ing badly, as to Morgan's inten-
tions. It was the only part Of the
Civil war that was brought upon
the soil Of Ohio.
The Union authorities set the raid
down as a complete failure. Not SO
the Confederates. Their object was,
not to win any great victory, but to
distract the federal forces away
from Bragg's movements. And
what a success it was in that way.
There were thousands Of federal
soldiers used in his pursuit,-Co-

Tax The Buses

Of all business inadequately taxed
in Ohio, the motor bus interests
probably pay the least tax for the
privileges they enjoy. The domina-
tion they have exercised over the
taxing authorities of the state is lit
tie short of amazing. They have put
the electric interurban lines out OF
business and now are materially af-
roads, and yet the legislature up to
this time has not seen fit TO impose
on them the general excise tax as
sessed against all other public utili-

budding and unless there is more
severe weather during the next few
weeks than there has been so far,
Ohio will produce a bumper crop OF
apples, cherries and peaches. Last
year the crop was badly damaged,
heavy frosts having touched the
trees as late as May II. This is the

throughout the state, and recent
survey indicates that the acreage in
potatoes this year will show sub
stantial increase over last year.

Mr.. Shaw stated that he deplored
the petition which obviously Is cal
culated and designed by its proponents
to damage the public credit Of the
county"
He then called attention to the fact
that Montgomery is about to place on
road and school bonds and that 81, 200,-
900 in park bonds were authorized by
the last Legislature.
ANTI political leaders circulating
this petition" he declared, were un-
willing decently and fairly to test their
political strength on the question Of
these bond issues by filing before June
! petition for a referendum because
they knew that the residents Of Mont
gomery County would support these is
sues and their political contentious
would be defeated.
They are now endeayoring by this
means to ruin the credit of the county
with Baltimore bankers and banking
houses to whom the county must look
for the sale of these bond issues.
These anti leaders realize that II
they can undermine the county's credit
and defeat the sale of these bond is

unable to finance the read and school
Improvements which already have been
pledged to the people of the county,
