We your committee on resolutions are grateful with the interest taken in better farming and realizing the the great benefit that farmers insti tutes are to those who avail them selves of their influences and benefit. We recommend that the agricultural commission continue the farmers in stitute and thereby . bring modern methods and scientific agriculture as nearly to the masses of people as possible. We urge that the people avail themselves ,of the opportunity afforded them. It is our judgement that this insti tute is one of the best ever held in Fulton county. We therefore commend the officers of this institute for their efforts in working out the plans, and conduct ing the sessions. We especially commend the instruc tors, D. D. Harsh and G- W. Scott, for their able and instructive work and all those who took part in the discussions of the various subjects. We wish to thank all those who in any way con tributed toward the success of this in stitute. We commend Hon. F. H. Reighard for - the stand he has taken in the legislature on matters affecting the interests of the people. We respectfully urge that he use his influence and vote to effect an equal distribution of the auto license mon ey among the 88 counties of the state. We commend the efforts of the agricultual commission to stamp out Hog Cholera from our state and ex press our appreciation of the efforts of our U. S- Senators to secure a nat ional appropriation to battle hog cholera. n On account of. the great diversity of soil in Fulton county we deem it unwise to establish an experimental farm in Fulton county. s :; ' We respectfully urge the agricul tural xqmmission to grant Wauseon the Agricultural acnool next winter, in the event of . our not being able to land this school we would further re-' quest that the state furnish a lady 1 t 1- 7 . iMBtil,,!. next winter.

The following are the ages of the Union bos who fought the battles of the Civil War from 1861 to 1865. There were 682,117 who were over 21 years of age; 1,159,789 were 21 years and younger; 84,881 were 17 years old and under; 231,051 were 16 years old and under; 1.523 were 15 years old .and under; 200 who were 13 years old and under 2'S who were 12 years old and under. There were 2,841, 906 men and boys sworn into the defense of our country during the civil war in the United States. The extreme youth of these patriots is one of the most remarkable records in the annals of the world's warfare. , The men who re-enlisted were count ed twice, as there is no practical way to estimate the number of individual persons- Nearly three-fourths of the men who stood in the Union ranks in the civil war were native born Ameri- is. The others were the best and bravest blood of other nations. There were more than 7.000 battles and skirmishes fought on land and sea. There were 6,354 officers and 110,705 enlisted men killed or died of injuries; men died of disease, making a total of 3, 595,628 deaths- The Confederate losses were not quite so heavy as those of the Union army who were the assailents. The cost of the war was $6,189,929,908. There are 241, 538 boys in blue sleeping in the Na tional Cemetery in the Southland. Over one half of the these graves are marked unknown. At Andersonville. Ga., there' sleeps 13.000 who died of starvation and disease rather than desert the flag and the Union. This is a great record and shows how de voted the .Union soldier was to nis flag nd his country Col. E. T. Lee, Minneapolis, Minn. From the Official Reports- HANDLE FACTORY. . CHANGES OWNERSHIP. Geo.

Willis To Be The Speaker Hon. H. M. Daugherty To Retire From Leader ship in Interest of Harmony. In response to 'a call issued by Chairman F. E. Perry and F. H. Wolf of the county Republican central and executive committee about forty Re publicans gathered at the assembly room at the court house last Satur day afternoon. Chairman Wolf an nounced as the purposes of the meet ing the obtaining of the sentiment of the Republicans through the county in regard to holding a get-to-gether meeting preparatory to the campaign of 1914, and if such a meeting should be generally desired to make prelim inary arrangements to hold it, also to find out how many Republicans from Fulton county would attend the Lin coln Day Meeting in Columbus on Feb. 26th. The chairman called for ex pressions from those present. Mr. Reighard was called for and pointed out the need of the unification of the Republicans in the county and state. The Democratic administration has been and is building up a political machine which is unique in the his tory of American politics- The whole trend, of this administration has been to concentrate the political power of the state in the hands of the chief ex ecutive; by legislative enactment, and the Democrats control the Legislature, appointive power has been placed in the hands of the governor and he has used that power to such advantage that he has practically a body of 100, uuu oitice holders who by their pos ition owe him their political support; In addition to this wherever he has not or could not appoint a Democrat he has appointed a Progressive, wheth er or not there has been any definite understanding between the Progres sive party and the administration or not. this policy tends to perpetuate the split in the Republican ranks which the Democrats themselves recognize as their chief asset in the 1914 cam paign. With these things before them it would be sheer folly for the Republicans of this county not to unite all factions and rally to set aside one of the most extravagant admin istrations in the history of the state and to break up a political machine whose pernicious possibilities discount Tammany ten to one. Mr. Reighard stated that the Republicans in the General Assembly, realizing that they constituted so small a minority in that bod" that their protests were without avail and that the only hope of check ing the riot of extravagance and use less out-lay of peoples money, lay in the reuniting of the Republican party' in the state, had organized a com mittee consisting of two Republicans from the Senate and four from the House for the purpose of discovering what are the causes of dissension and erradicting .them. ' This committee of which Mr.Reigh ard is a member, tendered their ser vices to Hon. H. M. Daugherty and Hon. W. L. Parmenter, chairmen res pectively of the Republican State com mittee and Central committees to aid in promoting party harmony and re constructing a united party. Mr. Daugherty's reply was a straight forward manly one, expressing the utmost loyalty to Republican princi ples, his determination to do all in his power to reunite the party and to further its interests. Mr. Reighard read the folowing extracts from Mr. Daugherty's letter- . "The duties of the chairman of the state executive committee have long since been performed. I am restless to be relieved of the charge that I am engaged in a process of perpetuating myself or any committee. I am not a candidate for any office, nor do I propose to be. I will not accept the chairmtiiship again, nor any position on any Republican committ2 this year ... I have no ambition .above or that- would interfere with the unifi cation of the factions of the party, and I am anxious to return to the ranks where I' can meet the men who left us in 1912. and with them assist in making and unmaking leaders as the efficieucy of the party and the sacredness of the principles for which 1 stand may require. 1 am desirious of being relieved of even the .incidental duties of the position of chairman, for the reason, that my private business has suffered in the last two years. The cost has been much to me in money and much in LADIES HGflE JOURNAL PATERN WEEK personal friendships, neither of which can I afford to lose. "Nobod y recognizes more than I do that leaders can neither further reunite nor prevent the successful reuniting of the factions. The Re publicans and Progressives of Ohio will not tolerate a boss. I have never been a boss, never propose to be one, never have been bossed and never will be- I think my reputation and experience in the thirty years I have been in active politics, when I have been defeated for high ambitions at the hands of the bosses, when I have opposed them openly and have opposed the making of a machine constantly, and yet remained true to the party, will convince every man for whose respect I care a snap that I live in an atmosphere of freedom from the dictations of anybody." The assembly voted , to hold a get-to-gether meeting in the county at the eailliest possible date, it was also voted to extend an invitation to Hon. Frank B. Willis to address the meet ing and that ' a committee of seven with F. H. Reighard as chairman, he to appoint the other six members, be appointed to extend invitation to Mr. Willis, arrange for date and appoint necessary committees. This Big Republican Rally will oc cur at some date early in March. A canvas of those present as to how many would attend the Columbus meeting resulted in the count of at least 20 from Fulton county.
