GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT

Showers in the foreparJ of Aug
ust and rather heavy rains in many
sections Of the state the last week
of August resulted in an improve
ment in most growing crops, and by
September 1. estimates Of produc-
ton were somewhat higher than one
month earlier, according to the re-
port of the Federal-State Crop Re-
porting Service. The prospective
yield per acre of all crops combined
was. on Sept. l, five percent higher
than on Aug I, but was, neyerthe-
less. nine percent below average.
Corn gives promise of slight i'm
provement over Aug. 1. but about
80 percent less than the 1885 crop.
Oats in northwestern Ohio turned
pected earlier in the season, but in
northeastern Ohio many yields were
rather disappointing. Total produc-
ton is forecast at 37,158,000 bush
els compared with so, 900 bush
els in 1885.
Potato prospects improved con-
siderably during August, as the
rains were very helpful to the late
crops in northeastern and north
central counties.
Sugar beets give promise of 264,-
900 tons compared with $4,000
tons in 1895. The decrease from
last year is due almost entirely to
the reduction in acreage, the pres
ent years estimate being 81, 900
acres against $4,000 acres in 1885.

Railroad Revenue Going Up

According to reports made by the
Association of American Railroads,
the net operating income of the rail
roads of the country for July, 1886,
was 100 percent higher than for
July of last year. The net income
of the rail carriers for July, 1886,
was SCI, 3,129. That compares
with $27,706,70S for the same
month last year.
There is much grumbling in rail
road circles regarding the workings
of the corporation tax passed at the
last session of congress. The rail
chiefs complain that while the In
terstate Commerce Commission has
ordered the roads to create sink
ing fund for the retirement of rail-
road bonds, the new revenue act
penalties the accumulation of sink
ing funds by taxing them up to 27
percent as undistributed income.
Students of the subject have fire.
quently criticized the railroads be-
cause the major portion of their
capitalization is in the form of
bonds instead of stocks. Bonds re-
quire the payment of specified rates
of interest, whether times are good
or bad. On the other hand, divi-
dends on common stock need be paid
only when the earnings justify it.

Who Knew Hezekiah Hastings?

A letter was recently addressed
to the postmaster at McConnelsville,
asking for information concerning
the whereabouts of children of Heze-
kiah Hastings. The letter is from
the attorneys settling the estate of
Cora Hastings Arbogast, who died
in Seattle, Wash, Aug. 13, 1896,
leaving an estate consisting of real
property. The letter states she did
not have any children and did not
leave a will The estate descends
to her blood relatives. if any can be
found; otherwise it will be escheat-
ed to the state of Washington. The
attorneys write that from an old
family Bible it is learned that Cora
Hastings Arbogast was a daughter
of Hezekiah and Anne Bale Has
tings, and that they were married
in Morgan county. Ohio, April 26,
1S49, and had the following chill
dren: Samuel, Amy, Noah, James
Wilbert, Alice, Jonas Ulysses, AL

DON'T HASTEN ACCIDENTS
(BV John I. Iaster. Jr.1

by Jonn j. JaStef, Jf.
Speed-and speed alone--is re-
sponsible for many automobile ac-
cidents.
Speed means hurry, which, the
National Safety Council says, is the
greatest driving hazard.
When you are in a hurry. be
doubly careful, for at that time
your chances of being involved in
an accident are greatly increased.
The highways and streets of Ohio
are strewn with corpses because a
certain number of drivers make
speedways of these highways and
streets. Hurry leads to confusion:
And confusion is one Of the greatest
causes Of accidents. When driving,
do so carefully if less speedily.
Don't take chances that are neces-
sary if in a hurry. 1t is the sudden
and unexpected move that is fraught
with danger
Stop saving seconds when lives
are at stake. Keep forever in mind
that safety is your greatest respon-
sibility when driving.

SOME HIGH SPOTS OF \
1875 MILE TRIP -

Messrs. Dale Fletcher and Clar-
ence Christman of York township
returned recently from an extensive
western trip. The principal object
Of the trip was to see and study ir-
rigation. Stopping at Clay City,
Ind, they visited Mr. Pletcher's.
grandmother, Mrs. William Pletch-
er, who is past 81 years of age, and
who formerly resided at Black Oak,
Morgan county, Ohio. A few of the
high points of the trip as written
by them, follow:
Passing through Illinois, Iowa
and Nebraska, we saw irrigation of
the Platte river; Wind river can
yon, Shoshone river canyon; Cody,
the home OF Buffalo Bill. Enter
ing Yellowstone National park at
the east entrance, we spent two
days, and saw few of the many
geysers; also bear, elk and buffalo
in the mountains of the park. Leav-
ing the park at the west entrance,
we passed through irrigated land of
the Snake river of Idaho and Utah.
Landing at Salt Lake City, the in
teresting points were Great Salt
Lake, and the most beautiful capitol
building that we ever saw; the
Mormon temple, museums, the salt
bed, wonder of the world. CO.
ing from Salt Lake to Grand June
ton. Col, we visited irrigated lands
of the Green river, and around
Grand Junction. Retracing to Utah,
going south to Las Vegas, Boulder
City and to Boulder dam, where we
saw the most wonderful piece of ell
gineering in the United States, and
also met the Ohio Farmers tourists
there. From that place we drove to
Ontario, Calf, and met our friends,
Clair Spring and wife, formerly of
Black Oak; then to Los Angeles, and
saw the Pacific ocean. We spent
one day at Yosemite National park;
also a day in the big rel wood for
ests, and Sierra Nevada mountains;
then travelled east, crossing Nevada,
utah and Wyoming, to Denver, and
visited Colorado Springs and Pixies
Peak.
Returning home, we passed
through Kansas City, st. Louis and
Columbus. In all we covered a dis
tance of 1875 miles; travelled in IS
states; were gone four weeks and
three days: drove a 1890 model
Ford, which made 21.4 miles to the
gallon of gasoline.

but when one remembers the state
of the country in March, 1893, he
may we'll conclude that the New
Deal has saved America from revo-
luton.
Some call the New Deal reckless
experimentation, but the most reck-
less experiment in which America
could now engage would be to stop
Roosevelt.
"No clear-thinking business man
would discharge an executive under
whom the business had climbed
from failure to success, and hire
some unknown who promised to re-
duce total expenditures without re-
ducing any one expenditure. But |
mean much more than that when /
say that stopping Roosevelt would
be reckless experiment.
Do we want America to go the
way OF Europe, where almost all the
nations have either undergone revo-
luton, are now having revolution or
are breeding places of revolution
and war?
Il have been studying the misuse
OF capitalism in Europe, and it's
eventual decay, for the past twenty
fiye years. / do not pretend to be
brlgnter or more public-spirited
