Cardington was given in this estimate based upon the same increase 1,895, Delaware 11,116, Leonardsburg 150, Marengo 339, Marion 16,607, Mt.

SEVEN DAY ADVENTISTS Ten Days' Camp-Meeting Will Open Thursday evening, at Marion The sixty-sixth annual state camp meeting of the Seventh Day Adventists of Ohio will open at the fairground, at Marion Thursday evening, and the meet ings will continue for ten days. Already the fairground is dotted with the white tents of the campers, bev-1 enty-five workers are busily engaged in erecting the big and little tents. In the big tent the meetings will be held and ia the little tents the people who come from all parts of the state, will live dur ing the tan days they are here. A number of well known Seventh Day Adventists are expected to be in attendance from adjoining states. In Ohio there are about 2,500 Seventh Day Adventists, and many of these are expected to attend at least a part of the meetings. One hundred andtwenty-five tents are being pitched, and oth ers will be erected when needed. How ever, it is thought that this number will accommodate those vho come with the intention of camping ten days. No fixed program has been arranged for the ten days' camp-meeting, but there will be religious services in the mornings, afternoens and evenings. Some very fine sermons are promised and there will be excellent singing. Three years ago when thecamp-meetings were held here, they attracted large crowds from the city, and indications are that the attendance this year will be even larger than before. Star.

MUM I -1 A Few Sentences From an Address of Harding's in Cincinnati Recently ' "I choose to speak as a plain Repub lican, steadfast in the party faith, No descriptive terms aw necessary. One need not be insurgent to attest his daring, nor a standpatter, to assert his confidence. If he is steadfast ia the faith, he is propressive in. performance rather than proclamation." "One would think Democracy invent ed equal rights and had Jefferson issue letters of patent. Bat equal rights were an importation of the Pilgrim fathers, though they warsed them a bit in crude application. Equal rights and the square deal are the essence of centuries of deliberate public opinion, which is the law." "The trouble with the Democratic party is that it is always playing to the prejudices of the consumer, without a thought of what makes a consumer. Democracy accepts the con sumer as the gift of the Almighty, and then proceeds to jolly him about his right to buy cheaply. But a mere hu man being is not a consumer in' the economic sense, and the Almighty does not furnish coin. One must be a pro ducer first." "I shall never accuse our Democratic friends of lacking patriotism or the higher purpose, of citizenship, but they are so short on construction and long on obstruction, so given to playing to exigencies and so little called upon to perform, that one must assume that what the bovs call 'con' talk is their exclusive right, . almost their specjari privilege." "I have never believed that the graf ter grafted or the thief stole as an exhibition of his party spirit. He is simply a traitor to friends, to party and public, and it is the duty of every men, no mat ter what his position may dm, to strike at it wherever or wherever it may be found." . "I m willing to appeal to the appreciation, confidence and understanding of the people of Ohio on Republican policies and performances, state and national. And 1 expect them to vote to restore a Republiesn state administration next November." "I have yet to meet the man who doubts President Taft's honest devotion to sonservation. And the p ople are in accord, and congress will follow the presidential lead." "The profligacy of public expenditure is a betrayal of public trust. A heedless public has tolerated until it is licensed by custom, and we need that new awakening that will sustain or compel correction by men in public office. It is not a partisan abuse, because it reaches to village, city, county, state and nation. We could, and we ought, and I want the Republican party to say we will, cut out the thousands of useless place holders, deputies, specialists, statisticians and commissioners, who render no service to anybody save their political sponsors, yet cost the public treasuries enough to build the Panama canal and restore our strength on the commercial seas. And we must have this aroused sentiment impel public servants to make puplic expenditures as they would their own, not in profligacy, but in honesty and economy; not in cheapness or stinginess, but in seeking that a public dollar always goes for value received. Let's make this Republican gospel, and pledge practice to our preaching." "And I would like to speak for the conservation of men, adveoating old age pensions, out of the abundance that characterizes American thrift. But I would conserve men first by maintaining the American standard of wage and keeping wide open the American paths of hope. After all, this is the big, vital pressing question to be fought out in the coming compaign. I care not what you call it, one great, significant fact abides, the American workingman earns two to three times what his fellows in the old world are paid, anq he has this increased pay through the Republican policy of protection."

Information hat just been received that an Agricultural Extension school is granted to Morrow county to be held at Mt. Gilead, December 6-9, 1910. Tbis school is held by the extension de partment of the College of Agriculture of the Ohio State University. But one school can be held in each county. Thirty-six of these extension schools were held last year in our state, having a total membership of about 5000. They proved a great success and hundreds of farmers of Ohio claim the establishment of these schools one of the great est acts of our state legislature for their benefit. The school lasts for one wek. A course is given the men in agricultural subjects and the women are given a course in home making. The instructors in these schools are the instructors of the Agricultural college. The instruction is practical and is made very clear by the use of apparatus, charts, books, etc., which the instructors carry with them. All expenses of these schools except the local expenses are paid by the state. A small tuition will be charged to pay the local expenses. This school will bring the agricultural college to our doors and every person in this community who is interested in agricultural work and better rural conditions should not only avail themselves of the opportunity of attending the school, but should put forth every effort to advertise the date and the opportunities it offers in agricultural instruction.Good Sugar Beet Prospects While the bugs nave caused some damage to the sugar beets in tbis section says the Ashley Star, yet there are many fine pieces of beets to be seen as one drives through the country. Chas. Smith has two acres, Chris Weist two, Thos. Kirts five and Walter Holts has ten acres that are extra good of the fields of this section and will yield return of an average of 15 tons to' the acr$, , Tsken as a whole the beet industry will no doubt prove profitable and more acres will be planted the coming season. ON HER ANKLE She Was Bitten By a Viper While Picking Berries While engaged in picking blackberries Mrs. Joseph Gruvea, residing on the Frank Dete farm, three miles west of Loudonville, was bitten dy a viper Tuesday afternoon. She noticed something coiled around her feet but thought she had become entangled in a briar. When she discovered that it was a snake and tried to free herself the venomous viper bit her five times in succession on the ankle. Mrs. Gruver had nothing but her bucket of berries with which to fight the reptile and in the skirmish it got away and afterward could not be found by several men who made a careful search for his snakeship. She was made violently ill but managed to get back to tue house. Dr. A. W. Budd, of Peeryville, was called in attendance and at last reports she was some better with fair chances of recovery from the effects of the deadly poison with which her system became inoculated in the encounter that might have been fraught with fatal results. Loa-douvitle Democrat. Third Reason Why Building and Loan Associations have grown into such great public favor with the people. (3) They teach economy and urge people to be thrifty and to save their money. They receive encouragement from the state rightfully so, for the state can well afford to encourage societies whose sole object is to be hetpful to their members. One of the most helpful associations is the Buckeye State Building and Loan Company, Rankin Building, 22 West Gay Street, Columbus, Ohio, with assets of over four mlilion dollars, and which pays-five per cent on time deposits. teiTLiQUiD veneer furniture polish gives satisfaction.
