It is your good luck to be situated conveniently near such a large and choice stock of goods as can be found at Saur & Balsleys; to have at your command a generous and carefully selected assort ment lacking in none of its details and representing the most advanced ideas in quali ty. This fact runs through their mammoth stock, which is perhaps the largest to be found in orthwestern Ohio. Seasoning people say, who have investigated the subject, who have traded here, there and everywhere, who know by experience just what they are talking about, say that Saur & Balsley beats all their com petitors as to quality, variety and prices of goods. Having been encouraged by a grand success in business in Henry county for the past quarter of a century and over, Saur & Balsley have exerted themselves more than ever this season to please their large trade, and especially those looking up goods for the holidays. Therefore this hoh day stock will be .more attrac tive than ever, giving one an opportunity to buy holiday presents, both useful and or namental, at exceedingly low prices. Besides an endless variety of books and fancy stationery, pen holders, gold pens, etc., they have a large assortment of combs and brush trays, collar and cuff boxes, manicure trays, cut glass bottles r fancy china vases, shaving sets, fancy hand mirrors, albums, photo boxes, handkerchief and glove boxes; in fact everything in the lat est celluloid novelties to make desirable gifts for Christmas and New Year. Saur & Balsley are making great preparations for the hol iday business, and Napoleon's greatest store offers unheard of inducements for your trade. Their goods have been marked at such alluring prices and at so great a saving of money to the public as has never been attempted in Henry county. Their stock of paints, oils and brushes is always the larg est, and their wall paper de partment is always kept up on the latest styles of paper and decorations.

A number of farmers residing in the south part of the county report that during the past season their eorn crops and those of some of their netirubors' were Injured by -wnat is known as the Western corn root worm. The pest is described as fol lows: A small white worm scarcely half an inch in length and of the thickness of a pin attacks the roots of corn and in a dry season sometimes completely ruins the crop. These worms later in tne season develop into small green bugs resembling in form the striped bugs so injurious to cucumbers, squashes and pump kins, these in turn cut off the silk thus preventing the fertilization of the grain. The pest is said to subsist on the corn plant alone so that a rotation of croos will Drevent its ravages. Or ex terminate them where they have done any damage. rne farmers aDove referred to, finding corn to be the most profitable crop for them to raise, have planted the same fields every year for seyeral years with the above results. The Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station's report for 1892 warned the farmers of Ohio ol tne coming ot these insects into the state from In diana, and the report of 1894 presents a diagram showing them to have spread over the entire western part of Ohio. We would advise the farmers of Henry county not to plant corn on the same fields more than twice in succession. We also believe that the insects have been doing damage and establishing themselves unobserved in many parts ot tne county. FOSTERS WEATHER BULLE TIN. Fluctuating: Temperature In The Mouth of January. (Special to The Bee.) St Joseph. Mo.. Dec. 21. My last bulletin gave forecasts of the storm waves to cross the continent from 21st to 25th and 27th to 31st. The next disturbance will reach the Pacific coast about January 1, cross the west of Rockies country by close of 2d, the great central valleys 3d to 5th, eastern states 6th. This disturbance will culminate the first period of moderate temperatures in January, and following it will be about two weeks of low but fluctuat ing temperatures. Then again will come two weeks of moderate temper atures culminating in the highest temperatures about 27th to 28 west of the Mississippi and 29th and 30th f other east. The warm wave will cross the west of Rockies country about January 1, great central valleys 3d, eastern states 5th. Cool wave will cross the west ot Rockies country about January 4, great central valleys 6tb, eastern states Stn. This distrubance will not cause gen eral precipiation, but will inaugurate a long period of heavy snows and rains which will average heaviest for January east of the Rockies and south of .Denver, est. .Louis, uincm- nati and Washington, extending to the northern states the last of the month and in February. Bv the close of February the whole United States will be in a good condi tion as to rainfall, but March will in augurate a dry period for large por tions of the country. April and May will cause serious drouths in places to such an extent, at least, as to make it advisable not to put in certain crops, for the drouth will surely make them unprofitable. .-: Others localities will have too much rain. The crop season of 1895 had a general deficiency of rain, but it will not be that way in 1896. Large sec tions will have too much, other large sections a deficiency, so that for the whole country about an average rain fall may be expected. Mothers will please observe that childern may use Century Catarrh Cure with per fect saftey, as in no case does it pro duce the slightest ill effect. For all stoppages and colds in the head which often trouble the little ones it will be found the pleasantest and surest of prescriptions and infinitely the easiest to administer.

The first train on the new Lima Northern railroad left here yesterday morning at 7:15 p. m. for Ottawa. It was in charge of Conductor Ben Bell, formerly of the Nickel Plate, and who for many years ran on the C. H. & D., and En gineer Bruein, with engine 838, pulled the train. It is believed here that the C. H. & D. will extend their C. D. & C. line from Spenoerville to Lima. Senator Brice has purchased the Mays prop erty near the C. H. & D. passenger station here and will erect thereon a fine passenger depot for the joint use of the Lake Erie & Western, Ohio Southern and Lima Northern roads.

If the American farmer will consider this matter calmly and without prejudice, he will become oooscioaa of three troths. First, that a tariff is levied for protection because the p redact ion of ateh things can be and has been limited by the trusts and combinations which have monopolised their manufacture. Seoond, that it eon add nothing to the price of what he sells, because it is not within power of any pos sible combination of farmers to limit agri cultural production, and th) prios of the surplus mast necessarily regulate the price of all. Third, that the only possible outlet for this surplus is to be found in foreign markets; and a protectee tariff hinders "its sale in those markets, because in order to be protective it most forbid rhe acceptance of the only things that foreigners have to give in exohange. -, , On Deck, as Usual. . The National Wool-Growers' Association, an outfit of antique origin and whose motto reads, "Special protection to a few, to the bow-bows with everybody else," or words to that effect, is on deck et Washing ton. This outfit is always on deck in the vicinity of the national capital when con gress is in session. It has grown gray and wrinkled pacing the said deck and howling for more protection on wool. With this gang of speoial privilege seekers the sheep industry has always been suffering for more protection on wool. The sheep industry was deep in the mire of protection nnder the tariff act of 1893, aooording to this tear ful gang and, nnder the McKinley tariff, when the duty was 11 to 12 cents per ponnd on first and seoond elass wools, this wooly aggregation fonnd the sheep business para lyzed for want of sufficient protection. Even now, when mntton is the first consider ation and wool a secondary issne in the sheep industry bnt with the tendency of fluctuations in the values of wool upward, this moss-grown, mildewed outfit is in Washington, arrayed in sack cloth and ashes, going np and down the streets dis mally moaning "restore the tariff on wool and save a few of ns from otter destination I" A beautiful phase of the preterit lachrymose Pecksnifflan effort of the Wool-Growers' association is the fact that it is totter ing hand-in-hand with the woolen manu facturers, who alone are the benefioiaries of a high wool tariff , This dual aggregation might as well make its prayer to congress read: "Protect and enrich the woolen manufacturers and make wearers of woolen clothes pay the bill," for, boiled down, that is what it amounts to. Bob the laborer, the poor man, to enrich the woolen manu faclnrers, has been the Bum and snbstanoe of the wool tariff ever sines it was first promul gated. Chicago Stockman. WOOLY.HOSS PROBLEM. Has been Pretty ThorouarhlT Discussed Everywhere. The Van Wert Bulletin of Tuesday says: The Bulletin recently published the follow ing problem: "A man sells a horse for $80. He then buys him baok for $70 and sells him again for $100. What did he gain in the transaction?" This question was thorough ly discussed in many localities. At-a west side grocery a counter was covered with orackers by persons who used them to demonstrate their theory of the transaction. In Jonestown, in York township, the dis putants met at a school house and used sheets of brown paper to represent ten dollar bills, in their demonstrations. .After wrangling several hours without an agree ment they appointed a committee of three teachers to solve the problem and report at an adjourned meeting. Many have ob tained the answer $40, while others make it $30, Thirty dollars is correct. The men tion of the original price is misleading. Not knowing tte cost it must be assumed that $80 was the value of the animal. The owner having sold him and pocketed the money, now begins an independent trans action, buying a horse for $70 and selling him for $100. The profit is evidently $30. The solution given by those who make the answer $40, when properly figcred gives the- same result. Thus: Selling the horse for $80 and re-purchasing for $70 the speculator makes $10. He then sells ngain for $100, making a net total of $110 received for the horse. But by the terms of the problem the horse is worth $80. He has then parted with property worth $80 tor $110, and his profit in the transaction is the difference or Jake Reiser is home from Ada, spending the holidays. aft5k.

The Valentine Theatre Toledo's Palatial Play House, the Finest In America, to be Opened Christmas Night. Christmas night, Wednesday, Dtr. 25th. will mark an event in the history of Toledo that will be matter for congratulation spoil the part of it citizens as well as the people of the surrounding country. Reference- is had to the opening of the new Valentine theatre, built at enormous expense and under the personal supervision of its owner, Mr". George H. Ketenam, one of Toledo's wealthiest and most progressive capitalists-, and whose enterprise has been a prominent factor in the phenommal growth of Toledo and the development rf its commercial in terests. Mr. Ketctiam announced, more than a year ago, that he would build a theatre that, when finished, would be the finest and best equipped in the United States. Considering the advancement, in the last decade, in theatre btilding and the many njay bouses famous for their mag nificence it will be understood that Mr. Ketoham's undertaking was of oonnderable magnitude. Before beginning the con struction of the new theatre he visited every important city in America and the old world for the purpose of stadying the best features of the best theatres and the result of his research and more than a year's work of a small army of workmen is the marvel -ously beautiful palace that will be dedi cated to the amusement of the citizens of Toledo and the surrounding country on Christmas night by that grand old actor and pride of the theatrioat profession, Mr. Joseph Jefferson. Any description of the Valentine would so meagrely convey any idea of its magnificance that it would be wasted effort and it will not be attempted in view of the fact that the low holiday ex cursion rates on all the railroads will offer favorable opportunities to oor readers to visit Toledo and see the finest and most thoroughly fire-proof theatre in America, and which will present during- the seflfton continuous succession ef the high class successes in the standard drama, opera, burlesque, spectacular and comedy with a sprinkling here and there of foreign artists and celebrities. On the opening night Mr. Jefferson will present his aew historical characterization of Bip Van Winkle, and on Thursday night will be Been as Caleb Plum mer in "The Cricket on the Hearth" and Golightly in "Lend Me Five Shillings." Following Mr. Jefferson on Friday and Saturday, Dec 27th and 28th, the eminent comedian Mr. Wm. H, Crane will appear, presenting on . Friday night and Saturday matinee "His Wife's Father," and on Saturday night his great success "The Senator." The first half of New Year's week will be taken up by Messrs E. M. and Joseph HollsLd and' the New York Garrick theatre company in a sumptnoua presenta tion of "A Special Highwayman On Thursday night, Jan. 2nd, At G.

The Parliamentary Franchise. Men and women in England vote equally for town councils, looal boards, poor law guardians, vestries, church wardens and school hoards.

As for the argument that worn' en as politicians would destroy the peace of the domestic circle, it is universally conceded that family life is infinitely richer and more attractive to men when politics are not tabooed cm account of the ignorance or indifference of the te male members of the household. In questions of intellect women have proved themselves able to oope with men. Let justice then be done to both. Our ruler is a queen, yet still a poli tician. In the duties and difficulties of her high and arduous office lot her daughters as well as her sons have the privilege of helping her.
