Wheat growers are hereby warned tha t Hessian fly is; rather plentiful in a good many sections of Ohis this fall and In those localities where it is known to he present it will be unwise to sow wheat early. Where rainfall has been reasonably abun­ d an t,th e Hies may be expected to appear a t the normal time and the following dates for seeding in the different parts of the State are sug­ gested- by the Ohio Agricultural Experimental Station as safe for such districts: no rthe rn qliird of the jStatc—SeptemberliOfch to the 25th tho latter date for the southern counties of tills area; Middle third oi the State—from September 25th to October 5th; Southern third of the State—from October 6th to Oc­ tober 10th. Neighborhoods which are certain!!! free from the fly may sow from five or ten days earlier than these dates, while neighbor­ hood* more or less infested with fly and having been afflicted with drouth during, summer and fall, will be safer jroin Ay attack if sow­ ing Is done a few days later than the dates here schedulep. Dry weather retards the development of the fly Without destroying it, except in eases of extreme and prolonged drouth, and the belated brood may appear in numbers, following the fall rams a week or two later than their usual-time, FOB SALE AutoihobU*, buggy type, Just th.e thing for ngmits or farmers to run errands, f il l sell d irt cheap as it stands or will guar­ antee, Balph ’Vyblford. * Jn a discussion of the coming constitutional convention, the Ohio Farmer prints a .letter from H. N, Ensign, of Greene county, who it prominent in Ohio fa rm 1 circles, Mr. Ensign says some interesting things, as witnessqth: '■ 1 wonder if the farmers ot Ohio realize wbat is before them this coming election in the new consti­ tutional convention. *1 have lrepfc "‘tab” t.p far upon eighteen counties of Ohio tha t have pufclup candidates for representatives, in this conven­ tion. Sixteen of. them are lawyers; two are college professors and not a man to represent the fanners m this epoch making period of Ohio.’ All of these 18 counties ate agricultural counties, I t is time for the farmers to wake up. Do you like’ the one percent, tax law in which nearly nil the increase is placed upon the farmer? Fanners are now paying <J5per cent, of the taxes and* owning' less than half of the value of Ohio. Itis estimated th a t the farmers will pay 85 to 00 per cent when this one per cent law gets intofuil work­ ing force. In jny county seat town the taxes were up to 4 per- cent, un­ der tho old law. Under this one percent. law the man of cash lias his taxes reduced three fourths while the home owner and the gar­ dener and farmer in this incorpora­ tion has his property increased to meet this falling off of money which’1 the man of cash is released from. Why this Jaw? Siuiply because the farmers,,with their 43 per cent of Ohio vote only had three actual farmers In our past legislature to represent them. Other results are that we are using any kind of a mix­ ture for paint. Auto Owners are making our road laws. Sports are making our game law’s. Cities are making our milkdaws and* farmers are Sitting down and watching the work go on,. The lawyers^ make about ohe- tWentieth ot one per cent 'of the total vote. Yet in all probability they w ill make up 90 per cent of*the convention. Do you. like it*? l e a n - pot see wtyy a man to alt in th is con- knowledge* a btdad minded farm­ er who knows right from wrong is worth more- in ■ this- work than an an aero of lawyers or politicians. The oue per cent. ia,w or the Henry George single tax law w ill.be fea­ tures of this convention. As to my own choice, I wish we might insert a clause doing awa.v with “veto*1 power and appeal' of civil cases uj all courts. Let the first decision in any court be final.’ Do away with the pardoning power, except by new trials with new evidence in criminal; cases. Do away with the nefarious’ law tha t is help only to the wealthy money owner in the non-taxation of bonds. Let us have confiscation of. all money not on the tax list. Ohio would not’ have to confiscate one dollar. I t would all go on the tax list. I have not a horse th a t could get me to' tho tak collector fast enough to place on the tax duplicate the money I have surreptitiously hid. CHURCH SERVICES. B. F.

Mr. Ltidwick Is a native Kentuck­ ian and does not have the appear­ ance ot one who would run when; cornered* but he confessed that for; a time he and his friend faced a se­ rious situation without any thing more than a pen kniie for self pro­ tection, - The gentlemen do not solicit for their company in villages but con­ fine (heir efforts to the country. They came to this locality owing to strong-recommendations, GOdarville being a college town in tho heart of -a wealthy agricultural community the gentlemen were led to believe th a t they had , reached ' an ideal place, •-Within less than a week’s time they were victims.pf a mob, stran­ gers in, a strange community where police protection seems an unknown quantity. •The impression these gentlemen will take away will be anything but credible to-the village.

Both parties have, nominated their candidates for thayor to be voted' on a t the September primaries. The voters now have an opportunity of becoming acquainted with these candidates, comparing them and arriving at the conclusion ns to which wilt make the. most efficient executive.

The one candidate may be your friend and neighbor. He may be a good father in a general He may need tile salary and be a hust­ ler in politics and tlte kind of a mix­ er tha t makes friends easily.- How­ ever he may not be tlfe man for mayor. He may Jack fotee of char­ acter. Designing men may be able to use him for a tool, H* may be vacillating as a weather vane.

He may possess the qualities tha t w^ar and which make for efficiency and' capability. Ho may believe that as his town Is whore families are reared and whore taxes are paid it should have a good moral atmosphere and that law* should be enforced in such a way that the lawless will find it difficult to do wrong,' He may have the old fashioned notion that laws ar< ■tado to be enforced aud that hfs oath of office Is more thSn lhero •orm. AS between two such men, yoUr duty should be plain. 1foti are not voting for yourself or. your party, but for your community. As far as your ballot reaches, you are to that extent personally responsible for yeur local government, and it is ar responsibility you should not hold lightly.
