County Campaign Meetings Itinerary The schedule for the County campaign meetings this sum mer has been arranged as follows: Mt. Carmel, August 3. Washington Colsolidated School, August 10. Young’s, August 14. McCormick, August 24. When sending a seed-sample to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, or elsewhere, to be analyzed for purity! and viability, it is important to send enough to represent’ the bulk of the seed in oucstion. Send at least 2 ounces of grass seed, whito c*r alsike clover, or of seeds smaller than these; 5 ounces of red or crimson clover, alfalfa, ryegrasses, bnpmo grasses, milled flax, rape, or seeds of similar size; and 1 pound of cereal, vetches, or sends of larger size. Careful handli.'.g cf potatoes, par ticularly where they arc to be hold for storage, will largely paovent losr from Fusarium rot. This disease is responsible for the loss of from 5 to 10 ■ per-cent of the annual crop, apd in some cases individual growers have lost 50 per oont of their crcp. McCormick M e charical injuries such as cuts, biuises, and skin abrasions, caused by improper handling, are the chief source of Fusarium rot. Even minute skin abrasions 1 may become tho seat of fungous infection. Moving a libe. r al quantity of soil with the tubers and protecting them from the sharp edges of the f Jrks, shakers, etc. of the diggers by rubber or bur lap will reduce mechanical injury. DR.

Landmark In Danger Since the establishment of this country the prevailing sentiment or at least the majority view has been that religious or fraternal organiza tions should not attempt to sway their adherents in matters of the state. That individuals should form their own opinions in governmental affairs, choose their owe. leaders in adm n rtrative affairs of the ? tat 2 without undue persuasion on the part of anyone, has been ore of the land marks of a ccunti*y settled largely by those who sought its shores to find such freedom. When certain whispered rumors have been heard of a church that was seeking to put its members in strategic positions that it might at tain power in civil affairs by its dominance over them; of a religion that taught union of the church and j state through its servants and was j ever seeking to increase its power in the United States, the whisperers have bee n laughed at, called fanati cal, over-suspicious and narrow. Yet certain actions on the part of this church have been hard to over look, even though the thought of the religious question being raised in po litics is abhorrent and against the fundamentals of Americanism. Even though there is an inherent desire to shrink from and avoid facing such an issue, it is no doubt betl.^r to stamp it out in its infancy. An occur:*enc:* happening recent ly in the Philippine Islands, brings the issue close to home. Despite the Roman Catholic Church’s many and vociferous denials that it makes any attempt to interfere with politics, it seems that such an attempt has been brought to light in one of the terri tories under the. jurisdiction of the United State-3. The Manila Tribune carried tho following article recently. “All the .parochial churches, Cath olic organizations ‘ and prominent Catholic politicians in the Philip pines have received circulars from the Archbishop of Manila instructing them to work for the victory of all pro-Catholic candidates, it was yarned yesterday from one of the high government officials. “Those who have received the cir culars would not divulge their full contents, but it is believed that they contain the lists of the candidates that are to be supported and a litany of accusations against other relig ious sects and anti-Catholic associa tions.” The editor of the Manila Times comments as follows: “For the Catholics to deny that their church, as an organization, does rot favor and cannot support Prepare for refreshment Drink Delicious and Refreshing IP SI 8 million a day Telephone your grocer for a case.

X More than twelve thousand co-op erative associations in this country are engaged in buying and selling 'arm products. I n addition to those cccup ed in buying and selling, there are about 58,000 organizatkins en gaged in other kinds of activity, ncluding agricultural educational asncciatiors, production assoc’ations, credit societies, rural telephone com panies, and mutual insurance agen cies. As an example of what these associations mean to farmers can be seen by the fact that in the field of co-dpetetive insurance alone the risks carried amount to more than ten billion dollars annually. 1 Xi Some of the candidates have an nounced they are entering the cam paign with several ends in view, probably do not include among thr r.umbe:< their own end.

They cannot envision a fu ture of these Islands free from that which leads to deeper antagtnism, idle recriminations* if religious bod ies are permitted to take on polit ical eoler and to win ascendency in the government of the country.” The editor said further that the fact that under American rule the Filipinos had learned to eschew re ligious intervention in politics was one of the greatest gifts from this country.

PHONE NO. 77. SYRACUSE, N. Y.—The printing of pamphlets attacking Gov. Alfred E. Smith is believed to have led to the wrecking of the pointing plant of H. Edward Newton, according to the Associated Press. The plant was entered by forcing open a door. All the windows were shattered: type wes thrown out into the street, printed matter was destroyed and a large number of the Anti-Smith pamphlets carried away. Newton said, according to the dis patch, that he was given an oitler for the pamphlets and had run them off according to instructions. Some time after he had received the job five men entered his shop and told him they did not like cither his po litical views or his manner of airing them. They ordered him to stop printing and distributing the pamph lets. The following night his shop was placarded with Smith-fcV-Presi- dent signs. Then two nights later his shop was entered and the destruction carried on.
