(By T, P. Riddle.) ThR tired feet and heavy eye-1Ids of Itft week are bote® forgotten by that W*y of Ohio youth and admiring mw lor* who constituted the Buckeye Com Special Party. A realisation of the true significance of the experience i« beginning to dawn. The 1916 Buckeye Corn Special Tour ha* contributed * red letter page to the civic and educational his­ tory of Ohio,*—a page which I* des­ tined to prove an Inspiration to Ohio youth for years to come, Judicious, advertising pays. This tour advertised the fertility of Ohio soil and the Ability of our boys and girl*, The citizens of Washington, Philadelphia and New York were . made to sit up and realize the truth of the party's slogan, “The Rainbow Com&a Down in Ohio," The 1915 Buckeye 'Corn Special Tour was a great undertaking splen­ didly executed. I t involved the mov­ ing of *n army of raw material, num­ bering over a thousand, a distance of .1X86- miles by rail. That's a job worthy of a general of the first rank. Besides, there were 'inilles and miles of sight-seeing by automobiles, sub-way train*, elevated trains, boats and afoot. Busy thorough-fares were traversed* Yet, no accident' or un­ pleasant incident mars the record. Only two cases of illness are re­ ported and the doctor's diagnosis es­ tablishes the fact that both-cases were -o In.process before the subjects board- ^ e d the Buckeye Corn. Special. Miss Hazel Heistand, of Nevada, had been IpdlspOsteld' for several weeks before the start and upon the advice, of the party-physician, did not proceed be­ yond Washington. Mrs. Josephine L. Nesbitt, the chief matron to the -par­ ty, remained in Washingto. "fth Miss Heistand. Word has been received that the patient has fully recovered, Mrs. Nesbitt will accompany Miss Heistand to her home at Nevada. Thel other case was more serious. In'Philadelphia, Miss'Ella Stephenson, , of Eaton, was taken suddenly 111. The 1 house physician of the Bellevue-Strat ford -Hotel pronounced It appendicitis Mr. Riddle, the' dlreetbr of the. tour called into consultation a 'Pennsyl­ vania R. R. physician and he confirm ed the diagnosis of the first physician An immediate operation-was recom­ mended. The parents .were telegraph­ ed, No response was received. The doctor stated that a delay of a few hours might prove fatal.. It was a try­ ing situation for those in charge ol •the party Finally, Mr. Riddle assum­ ed responsibility' and instructed thal the patient be. moved immediately it one o f the beat, hospitals in Philadel­ phia. . There ait examination Was made by a noted surgeon whq eon firmed the views of the other pbysi; Oians. The operation was immediate­ ly ordered- and fa two hours It Was rti stephenson/a Ufa h a t triotle expression. Hon. David Houston, Secretary IT, S. Department of Agriculture, extend­ ed the representatives of Ohio'* agri- cultural interests a cordial greeting by a speech of inspiring commenda- steps of the Agricultural Administra­ tion building, Wednesday morning. That evening, fa Memorial Contin­ ental Hall, Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, caught the spirit of the occasion and delivered one of his matchless addresses. When the Buck­ eye 'Corn Special Party pulled out of Washington that night, every member parried away a higher and nobler re­ gard for our great National Govern- mept. Philadelphia. Philadelphia Is the city of Brother­ ly Love. This was proven. Every one from that grand old man, Mayor Blankenberg, down to the news boy on the atreet, entered Into the spirit of the occasion. The farm boys and glrla of Ohio werb treated as little tlon and advice, delivered from the Pounds, Hon. -Douglas Matliewson, Hon. Maurice 'Conelly, Hop, Chas. J. McCormack and other officials. The young man—the central figure—was His Honor, John PUrroy Mitchell, Mayor of the City of New^York. Mr, Riddle opened the" ceremony by the brief statement: “Gentlemen, 1 have the pleasure of -introducing the man who made the rainbow come down in Ohio for there boys and girls.” Then Mr- Sandies in a few weli-chosen words, introduced the Mayor of New York. The Mayor was followed in his address of .welcome by an address by Hon. Seth Low, Following this ceremony, the party paraded down Broadway through the sky-scraper [district and solid lines of humanity to South Ferry. Then a boat trip with luncheon aboard, compli­ mentary by the New York -.Chamber of Commerce, awaited the party, A thirty-five mile boat tour of the harbor wap enjoyed, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of liberty and Immigration Is­ land, were passed. particularly this ChrUtmas season. The Beaver Grange has taken act •Jon against hauling hag* over the highways that have cholera. This is done In opposition to the law and should be stopped. A few prosecu­ tions would stop the practice. » COMMUNITY CHRifTMA# TREE ARRANGEMENT* ARE made . - — i A meeting held In the mayor's of­ fice ^uesJay evening, resulted fa fi, n a i. arrangements being mide for community Christman tthe.

Seated a t the banquet In the grand ball room of the Bellevue-Strat ford [Hotel, the party listened to ad­ dresses by Mayor' Blankenberg, Hon James 'Cattell,, Hon. James .Sears Kates, Prof G. F. Preston and Dr. J, Russell Smith. Hearty applause at­ tested the appreciation. -..Then came a moment when applause failed. Mr Chas, S. -Calwell, president of the and announced the awards fa the Coru Exhibit prompted by his bank for the benefit of bur-Ohio bdys. At the close the .big, busy, thoughtful man turned to the audience and said: “I am-pro­ foundly sorry to learn that one of your number is Hi and that the doc­ tors have advised a surgical operation as necessary for her -recovery. Phil­ adelphia will care for her. 'She will have the best care possible and when 3he has sufficiently recovered, we will send her hack to Ohio to you.” There was no -applause. Tears were seen fa many eyes. The spirit of brother­ hood had been revealed. Philadelphia has become endeared for eternity to avery member of that party; New York. Ne\v York is the metropolis of the Western Hemisphere. Its,population exceeds the-population of the (entire •state-mf Ohio. It is the world’s great­ est center of wealth and' power. Yet, Mew York considered the Buckeye Corn Special party of sufficient im­ portance to. accord it a public recep- ion. Its leading citizens participated. Nothing like this has happened before anywhere in the world. Tt is signifi­ cant. It constitute© a hand shake be­ tween producer and consumer. It was an- acknowledgement of th e inter-de­ pendence—the reciprocal - relation—Of farm and city. •I t bespeakB a closer relationship and a better understand­ ing in the future, Had the faraou* Waldorf-Astoria “at* ,sat seven millionaires,—men Who H.

Thomas, of New Carlisle, Clark county, Ohio, did not miss a foot of the tour and he will be ninety years old on the ,29th ©ay of next April. He says he feels better than when he started and. that he intends to join next year’s party. Director Riddle and others In close touch with the movement ascribe its success largely to the patriotic, public spirited men and women who volun­ teered' time and expense <to .assist in the handling of the party. The state was burdened! with no expense. It was a labor of love and that, made it succeed.

Mis* Stephenson, who was the win­ ner In the domestic science, contest fa Preble county, had been suffering with pains fa her .side for two week: before Starting on the trip.. -The doc- Wr* and the nurses a t the hospital stated that it was an advanced and dangerous case of appendicitis and that If the patient had not received prompt and * efficient attention It would have proven fatal. Ella Steph­ enson come* from a -small town and a humble home and the chance* are ten to one th a t had she remained a t home her life would have been* forfeited. Mrs, T. P. Riddle, the wife of the di* rector of the tour, remained In Phila­ delphia to care for the patient until she became able to return home. Washington. The President of the United States threw open the doors of the White House to the party and greeted each member with a hearty hand shake. The Boys Band of Gallon presented him With a pair of white doves—-a token of the party's admiration of his peace policy. Tuesday afternoon the party Jour­ neyed by boat down the Potomac to Mount Vernon, the home and tomb of Washington, the father of our country. There fa the shadows of that Vine-covered, un-assuming red brick booklet round a t each plate, every one would have gone away feeling that he lmd gotten hi* money*’ worth But, a breakfast fit for a king follow ed. The Ohio Society of New York had a committee on hand a t the Waldorf- Astoria to pass a note of greeting to their fellow citizens from the Buckeye state.- ' A seven ihlle ride underground and. three miles on the elevated tracks car­ ried the party to the Brox Zoo, where the largest collection of animals in the world was viowfed. Another long elevated and sub-way ride carried the party down town to the -City Hall There the party was accorded offi­ cial welcome to the city by Mayor John Purroy Mitchell. That was a great flight, Ohio’s army massed on the approaches,. Upon the steps were our three bands—The Girls' Band, of Rising Sun, In the cen ter, the Gallon Boys’ Band, en the right, and the Obcrlin Boys’ Band on the left. Beyond the lines of our par ty a maas of humanity—fifty thousand people spread out In fan-shape facing New York’s historical GIty Hall. FI nally, -a slim, trim, young man ap proached. Around him was a group of distinguished men: Hon. Seth Low, President New York Chamber of Com­ merce; Hon. R. A. C. Smith, Com misslouer of Cocks; Hon, Wm. A. Prendergast, Hon. George McAneny, Hon.

For several years It has been task to keep the department recruit, ed and different officials have for* seen th e . butcome, but every effort made to keep the department in good running condition bfcs failed. This is all .due to the fact that the people have not taken as much In­ terest in the Welfare aha safety or the community as they should. The old er citizens that have prided the 'do partment have gone to their reward or those remaining are not physically able to do the work. Criticism must then fall upon the younger element for not absorbing the proper spirit fa keeping up . a department that Once was recognized as one of the most’ef­ ficient in the state, Contests entered into' in those days won many honors for the village'and it is to be greatly regretted that the department has been allowed to be non-existant.

Our equipment la far su /perior to most towns of this size, but men can no longer he induced-to pull the steamer to fire's, The cost of keeping*a team is out of question, as the village finances will, not stand It. The present steamer was purchas­ ed twenty-five years ago. We have had our money back, $3,500, several times. More modern fire fighting apparatus is now being made a.id it has been suggested that we dispose of the steamer and get one of the auto fire trucks. The cost of these new inventions varies according to the power and size. But the bes't invest­ ment for the village would he in the saving on up-keep of the auto truck over the steamer, which costs $35 or more a month to keep It fa condi­ tion. As things stand at present we have our money Invested in equipment that we cannot get to fires. It has be come necessary to provide other ap­ paratus or arouse public spirit to $ point where younger men can be In­ duced to.organize and form them­ selves into a company (hat will prove as efficient as in the past.
