In 1918, when the whole nation was alive to the necessity of stimulating ag- ricultural production, Governor Cox went to work to aid the Ohio farmers. He called a meeting of tractor manu- factures and stated that he wanted them to allot at least fifteen hundred farm tractors for sale in Ohio. He then went to the Superintendent of the State Baok- ing Department and obtained letters to every banker in the State, urging finan. cial assistance to farmers in the matter of buying tractors. He deposited two million dollars of the State Industrial Commission funds in country banks, with a hint that they lend at least some or it to€ar mers buying tractors, Governor Gox then went to the Feder- al Reserve Bank and [secured a ruling that notes given by farmers purchasing tractors be discounted on the same basis as agricultural implement paper. By these various means the farmers of Ohio were enabled to purchase in 1918 1,932 farm tractors, thus practically doubling the number in the State. This was said to be the most aggressive cam- paign ever waged by any governor, Eating Their Own Words. * Eminent Republicans are now dieting on their own words. Mr, Taft is doing rather worse; he is man enough to stick by what he said, but he is partisan edough to support Senator Harding in spite of what he has said on the peace treaty. Henry Cabot Lodge has eaten his own words uttered at Union College, pointing out the way of preventing war, and Governor Coolidge, obliged thereto by the Republican National Convention, is now eating the words in which he welcomed the President back to the United States in February, 1919: "We welcome him as the representative of a great people ; as a great statesman ; as one to whom we can assure our support in the working out of our future des- tiny ” At that time the preliminary draft of the covenant of the League had been completed, but Henry Cabot Lodge had not arrayed his party against it, and Governor Coolidge had no dream of being a candidate for Vice President on a |latform hostile to the world's peace, r.- THE DEATH RECORD.

During the past summer the Centre County Farm Bureau has conducted po- tato spraying demonstrations for the control of late blight on eleven farms throughout the county. On each farm a check plot of four rows are left un- sprayed. On Monday, Oct. 11th, at 1: 36 p. mi, we will hold a demonstration, meeting at Lloyd White's farm, located three miles east of Pleasant Gap, on the road from Pleasant Gap to Zion. At this time we shall dig both the unspray- ed and sprayed plots, thus checking up on the efficiency of spraying. A similar meeting ‘will be held at Milo Camp- bell's farm, located four miles east of Penna Furnace, on the Baileyville road Late blight and the consequent rot can be controlled by efficient and timely spraying. If you are interested in im- proving the potato crop for yourself and for Centre County you cannot "afford to mise these demonstration meetings — County Agent, Court News, In the case of Commonwealth vs, the supervisors of Worth township, a ver dict was returned on Thursday morning of not guilty, but the defendants pay two-thirds of the costs and the plaintiff one third.

Stray Cannon Has all Reedsville Folks Puzzled. Laurie Weller, representative of a life insurance company, of Reedsvilie, will find a white elephant awaiting his return from the annual vacation which he is spending in Centre county, in the shape of a three-inch cannon of the vin. tage of 1893, weighing 768 pounds, and with its carriage 1900 pounds, according to a dispatch issued from Reedsville. The tag shows it was shipped by the ord. nance officer, Narrangansett Bay, Fort Adams, R. 1., to Laurie Weiler, presi- dent of the Monument Association, Reedsville, Pa., but not a soul ever heard of the association or is familiar with its personnel. Staid citizens of the town gravely point out that it is a violation of the law to carry concealed and deadly weapons of this nature, and that [to lead it be. tween towns would require a license and be a matter of time and expense, Some of the more practical suggest that it might be for a monument in Church Hill Cemetery, but no one is willing to accuse Weiler of being a dead one. Others suggest that it is intended to stand guard in his chicken yard, but it is pointed out that lead pipe to the amount of 360 pounds lay along the streets for weeks without a piece being stolen, / One of the members of the League of Women Voters said it might be placed in the public square but a hurried exam- ination of the blue print of the town plat showed that recreation centre is miss. ing. One of the Republican politicians suggests that the wooden plug that closes the muzzle be bored out to as- certain whether it is loaded with grape juice for the campaign, It's a puzzle to everybody.
