Normally the nomination is an 'election. The farmers feel that one o f their number who is big enough to represent farm interests should have the support of - the farm voters in the county.

We would not he surprised to hear that Prosecuting Attorney ICenhoth Williamson would he a candidate for another term. While he has riot au­ thorised the u8e«of his name indica­ tions point that way1, The only other name mentioned among the political wiseacre* is that of Probate Judge J. C. Marshall, whose term is expiring and who may come for prosecutor. In the event that-Judge Marshall comes for prosecutor, I t is almost Certain that hi* deputy, S. C, Wright will be a candidate. So far no other name ha*'been connected with the judgship. 9 m ' *“ When Representative M. A. Broad- stone was serving in the last legisla­ ture, one of the few hills that he in­ troduced Was one that if passed would compel companies that offer preferred stock for sale1to limit the sale of such stock to three-fourths of the actual assets of the company exclusive of good will, franchises, etc., which are always carried on the books of con­ cerns that make a business of selling stock at a very high value when they may he worthless. The bill was never posted. Representative* of concerns Jfice the Geiger-Joncs Company and the Dolling* concern with a score o f others killed the hill in the committee. Such a law would have been a pro­ tection to many a stockholder, espec­ ially those who hit on stfch companies as mentioned above. The question then naturally arises whether^ the public wattle to send a representative o f companies that do the kind of bus­ iness that has lost investors millions it| this state or trust the law making to aom* one who Will not he under the control of crooked business. Thf companies that will fight such legi*-* latton will spare no pains or expense to sleet one o f their kind to a branch of the Ohio legislature.

Shipments came apd$have continued Jacksonville .understands -.that,Ford's ammonia sulphate is a by-product of his coke- plants. What .interests the farmers is ,the fact that Ford sells his fertilizer, of the highest grade, $19 a ton below, the market price. Apparently Ford is trying his hand at cheap fertilizer without waiting for Muscle Shoals. ,,i.■-J v T ill-— ■ ■ . “Not too. much, not’ too little,” said Aristotle.. Even in -religious -emotion, excess is a mistake, and brooding leads to trouble. Frank McDowell got it into his head that he had committed the unpardonable sin.. The. idea stayed, and by way of “ expiation,” he killed his two sisters, burning tht,n as they: lay asleep in’ their beds. That also preyed on his mind and 'added to his religious worries; So ,t>y -way of fur­ ther “ expiation” he shpt his mother and father to death. Such religious hallucinations were not unusual in the old days. They drove men and women into the des­ ert where they lived In filth and semi-: starvation, imagining that .such con­ duct pleased the Lord. ' It didn’t occur to them to ask why the Lord had provided a fertile earth and clean water if it pleased Him to see hermits dirty and hun py.» At the regularmonthly meeting of council held Monday evening the Dayton Ligh t& Power.Company pre­ sented resolutions and . 'ordinances ifor consideration of council for a mew {light contract covering a period of ten years. The present contract is only for one year and the .company presented the proposition for consideration. There was' no representative of the company present to explain many points that were not clear. The matter was laid on the table fpr future consideration and in tile meantime the solicitor, H.

The article is illustrated showing what the tractor is doing for the company in hauling straw. Fouj* FordSons are used to pull eight trailers. Specially-built trailers are%n"ore easily pulled than wagons. On good roads the Fordson will pull a load 12 miles an hour and from’8 to 10 miles on gravel roads. The tractors are equipped with rubber tires. The company kept acurate cost of hauling with teams and the cost of feed while teams were idle and the same has been done under the new system. The per ton-mtie cost with teaips was $1,050 while with the Fordson it was re­ duced to $0,316 per ton-mile. SAM GItATHvPELL Many have seen the “holy man of Benares,” a deluded pagan, sitting on sharp spikes, and accepting little con­ tributions, convinced that it pleased his particular God to see him sitting there. - I I I - The calming down of our religious epiotions is a most important for­ ward step in civilization.
