steady decline for the previous
decade, was reported by Irva G..
Plummer, chief of the state division
of vital statistics. There was an in
crease Of 4,073 births last year, Mr..
Plummer announced. He predicted
a further gain in 1895, saying that,
the rate moves in cycles and that
the upward trend is definitely under
way. The total births in the state.
during 1884 was 10O,O35, while the
total for 1893 was only 95,962..
The death rate varies less than does;
the birth rate, it was said. The
low point in deaths was reached in,
1893. '''
The sback to the farm move
ment caused largely by the depres--
sion has resulted in an increase. OF
$3.50 farms in Ohio during tho
last five years, according to d CEN
sus bureau survey released in Co.
lumbus. The increase is accounted
for by the division. of. large farms
and by returning abandoned farms
to cultivation. On January i there
we're 255,146. farms. in the state,
comprising 22,S74.667 acres and
having land and building value of.
$1,278,575,512. In 1880 there,
were only 1926 farms listed. Ex-.
perts who are in close. touch with
Ohio farming conditions say that
there will be greatly. increased A.
nancial returns for. farmers in 1895.
Farm machinery, manufacturers
have reported the, heaviest demand
for farm implements in hve years.
Alarmed by many drownings and
in an attempt to curb the mounting
drowning death toll the Industrial
commission of Ohio in its bulletin
for August listed seven important
rules for swimmers. They are:. Be-
ginners should stay in shallow. wa
ter and have the aid of an exper-
fenced swimmer; even expert swim
mers should stay within reach of q
boat, raft or shallow water; do not
swim when overheated or fatigued:
never dive into unknown depths
and be certain that the pool into
which you dive is at least five feet
deep if caught in swift current
or, undertow do not struggle and
wear yourself out because the cur
rent inself will force you to the sur
face; do not enter the water for
some time after eating all SWIM
mers should learn life-saving meth
DDS and artificial resuscitation.
For the assistance of tourists

STATE CAPITAL NEWS LETTER

Warning of a possible statewide
quarantine on flowers and plants as
the result of an invasion of Ohio by
the destructive japanese beetle was
made to the department of agricul-
ture by the United States bureau OF
entomology 1t is thought that the
insects are moving rapidly westward
from the heavily infested regions of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The
beetles in the adult stage attack
nearly all growing plants and the
larva consume the roots. Under a
quarantine the movement of plants
and flowers with soil around their
base would be prohibited by the
government in order to prevent
wider distribution of the beetle lar
va. Traps placed throughout CEN
trail and eastern Ohio last year re-
vealed the pl essence of only few of
the insects.

AT f. J. Ross Home AT Roxbury

At f. j. Ross Home At ROxbury y
Mr.. and Mrs. E. j. Ross OF Rox-
bury entertained at 6 O'Clock din
ner, July 22. I'M honor of her broth
er, Chas. Evans, and family, of
Enid, Okla. Guests were Mr.. and
Mrs Jason Medley, MIR. and Mrs.
Donald Van Fossen, Lillian and No
la Thompson, Emma Van Fleet,
Ruth Gray, Anne Grubb, Stockport,
and O. S. Evans, Roxbury. The ev-
ening was spent socially, with .fnu-
sic, etc. The Evans from Okla
homa are gifted musicians Chas.
Evans, recounted the Joe Taylor fish
and pig story, made famous by the
poem written by Harry Brokaw, and
published in several periodicals, and
most recently in the Beverly Dis
patch. This Mr.. Taylor lived near
the Roxbury store, and had a pig
pen near the river bank, an ideal
place for pig pen, by the way.
One day he heard the pig sQuealing,
and rushed to the river bank in
time to see the pig foundering in
the water. 1t had fallen from the
ledge of rock which lines the bank
at that place, and was pulled under
and swallowed by the big fish. This
big fish has lived for years in the
"deep water" below Roxbury. Any
one can get copy, free, of the
poem, "The fish that swallowed Joe
Taylor's pig by asking for it. Ad-
dress Judge Harry Brokaw, East
Liverpool, o. o. S. Evans told his
own fish story. This same big fish
came to the Evans landing, and
found and swallowed a II pound
channel cat, which O. S. had caught
with pole and line. While O. S. was
in his johnboat, his three sisters
Laura, Edith and AIDA, held onto
the pole, until the struggle pulled
them into the water, and capsized
the boat. The big fish got away, o.
S. got a ducking and the three girls
crawled out onto the bank, holding
the pole and the II pound channel
cat-which was soon after weighed.
1t is said that this same big fish is
still seen from time to time.-XX.
