GOV. COX AND THE FARMERS.
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,

Did Your Potatoes Blight ?
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 —

! 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

suggests that the wooden plug that

everybody.
