Great amplifiers will carry all

Peddlers were in Reinersville

were looked on in suspicion by per-
sons with whom they came in con-
tact, on account of questions con-

ed they changed the license plates
on their auto time or two, while
in the community, which makes
their business look much more mys-

Eliminating Dental Bills

A wise man never runs to see his
dentist. His teeth are never in
such condition that the pain
makes him run. Wisdom in dental
health is knowing the value of pre-
yentive measures.
There is nothing involved about
preventive dental hygiene. 1t is
simplicity itself 1t can be summed
up and symbolized by three words:
cleanliness, care, diet.
Cleanliness means that teeth
should be brushed carefully and
regularly. Ideally, this should be
done after every meal and before
going to bed at night. At the very
least, teeth should have a good
cleaning once daily Care means
that you should watch your teeth
for signs of decay, and give them
prompt attention.
Diet is considered by modern au-
thorities as one of the most i'm
portant factors in dental health.
Some put it ahead of cleanliness
and care.
"The greatest menace to our
teeth at this time" says Dr. P. G.
Puterbaught of Chicago, 'eis the
fact that most of us eat merely to
satisfy the caprices of our appe-
tites and not with any definite plan
in our choice of foods. A little in
telligent effort in the selection and
proper chewing of food would do
much toward the making of sturdy
bodies"
Sturdy teeth are equally de-
pendent on wholesome food. Re-
gardless of how thoroughly they
are cleaned and cared for, teeth
will decay if they do not get proper
nourishment, best obtained from
an abundance of milk, fresh fruits
and vegetables, especially the leafy
variety.
Two of the three things that go
to make up good preventive hy-
giene program can be carried our
by the individual. Cleanliness and
following a wholesome diet de-
pend on you, not your dentist. All
that the dentist does is check over
your hygiene program at regular
intervals, and eliminate decay be.
! fore it makes serious inroads. But
! the dentists job will be a compar-
/ atively minor one if you do your
own job well and consistently.

of the state where drouth early in
the season caused weedy fields and
short straw, and many fields could
not be cut with the binder, but were
cut for hay. The tame hay crop is
nearly one-fourth smaller than last
year, due to a decreased acreage
and lower yield per acre. Potatoes
show only a slight improvement in
condition since July /, due to lack
of rainfall the latter part of July
in the late potato areas. Fruits:
The condition of apples on August

slightly over one-third of the large
1881 crop. The August 1 condi-
tion of peaches was $3.50. Con-

AGRICULTURE NEWS NOTES

Morgan County At The State Fai

Morgan County At The State Fair
Our county will again this year
be very we'll represented through
exhibits at our state fair. Our All
sheep club boys will send in the
neighborhood of so sheep, which
will be larger number of sheep

vision from any other county in the
state. Several of our clothing clubs
are sending exhibits, and the coun-
ty will be represented by individuals
as follows: Miss Margerie Archer
and Miss Faye Strong, demonstra-
tion team; Miss Pauline Triplett,
individual food demonstrator, and
Miss Margaret Broedel will repre-
sent the county in the style review.
In addition to the above participa-

Reign Of Terror

A home was set on fire. The
flames spread to two other homes,
and all three were destroyed. A
store was looted. A house was
bombarded with bricks and stones.
A heavy charge of dynamite was
exploded on hillside. Rifemen in
the hills opened fire on other men
in valley. Troops returned the
fire with rifles and machine guns.
A crowd gathered in the streets of
one town and, refusing to obey mil
itary commands to disperse, was
scattered by tear gas.
All this happened on one night
not in Manchuria or Shanghai, but
in and near the American communi-
ties of Chauncey and Nelsonville,
Athens county, Ohio.
For weeks, now, there has been a
reign of terror in the mine strike
region of the Hooking Valley. Or
ganization of citizens vigilance
committee, with the hope of put
ting stop to the dynamitings,
shootings and other outrages, ap-
parently has failed to accomplish
it's purpose. The local authorities,
admittedly, are powerless.
The great majority of the miners
and the union sympathizers in the
Hooking Valley are peaceful and
law-abiding. However ardently they
may believe in the cause represent
ed by the strike, they do not be-
lieve in violence.
There is every reason to believe
that these outbreaks are the work
of few reckless and misguided
men.
If they continue much longer, it
is easy to foresee that violence will
be met by violence. There will be
bloodshed in the Hooking Valley,
and a tragedy that Ohio will have
cause to regret for many years.
The problem presented to the
state government is difficult. The
entire National Guard patrolling
the region constantly, it has been
said, could not prevent sporadic
outbreaks. Perhaps much more
could be accomplished by a handful
of capable and alert detectives who
might be able to obtain evidence
that would land the chief trouble
makers in Jail.
At any rate, it is essential that
immediate steps should be taken 70
end this reign of terror.
It is essential from the viewpoint
of citizens of the Hooking Valley
whose lives and property are men,
aced, although many of them have
no connection either with the strik-
ers or the mine operators. 1t is
essential from the viewpoint of tho
people of Ohio, who cannot afford
to have the state disgraced by con-
tinued open warfare. And it is es-
sential from the viewpoint Of tha
strikers, whose cause is losing pub
lie sympathy with each new report
of dynamiting, shooting and burn

Crop Report For Ohio, August 1

Crop prospects in Ohio on August
1 show only slight improvement
over the estimates on July /. Good
rains during the first week of July
brought temporary relief to the
drouth situation, but since then
rainfall has been lacking in most
sections of the state. On August l.,
corn, pastures, potatoes, tobacco
and other late crops were very
much in need of rain, according to
A. r. Tuttle, u. S. agricultural
statistician. Winter wheat turned
out better than expected in the
northern part of the state, but was
below expectations in the southern
half. Yield per acre is placed at
20.5 bushels which is nine bushels
below the record yield last year,
but 40 bushels above the 10 year
average. Oats were very poor
crop especially in the southern half

blades had better get together AMI
