DAILY REPUBLICAN lilnilL Entered May 22.vJ, 1830, at iloujigahea as SeconJ Cimi Hatter, Unier Uie Act of Congres: A.dr 3, 1879 SIXTY-SIXTH YEAR NO. 1 1 1 MONONGAHELA, PA. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 30. 1912 ONE CENT Will Should Organize Jl Taft PRESS ASSO-CIATIOI IT Use Forty Acres To Experiment On Potatoes Club In Monongahela The Daily urges the standard bearers of the Republican party in our city to get busy on the organization of a Taft club that the interests of the Party be taken care of in this city and vicinity in the month to come before the election.

Other towns in the vicinity are rallying to the support of the Majority Party and old Monongahela which has never been known for its substantial Republican majority should come into line. The minority party met some time ago and organized and are preparing to finish the campaign enthu siastically. The Socialist party which has recently come to be a factor in the valley is also organized and conducting an active campaign. The Republican party with its strength and prosperity will undoubtedly car1 its representatives to vic tory in Monongahela and Washington Upon request of the Agricultural Department at Washington, J. S.

and W. S. Kuhn have vested the United States government with 40 acres of land a i an experimental stat on on potatoes for the Western states and Eugene H. Grubb, IheKuhn's consulting agriculturist who is also counsel of potato growers for the Oivgon Short Line and Union Pacific Railways, is on his way to Washington to meet with the comrnittee on quarantine of plant diseases and insect pests that are imported "to America from for eign countries vi r. Grubb has done many Dig things in agriculture, notably to perfect the breeding and practical cultivation of a staple variety of potatoes and to introduce and adapt to Amerian condi lions the advanced farm practice of Europe.

In speaking of the Kuhn'9 gift to the tato industry ol land and water for irrigation. Mr. Grubb said: "It is one of the most valuable in agricultural in terests of recent tunes. Nothing is so much needed to the country at large and of special value to the great irrigation fields of the northwest section 01 this country. Onlv for this timely public- spirited aid it would possibly be years befoif.

this splendid and much-needed government station for plant breeding work would lie started. This is only one of the many advanced and beneficial things the Kuhns have done to aid and better the conditions of the settlers on their large irrigation projects in Idaho and Northern California. The solving of the many problems confronting the settler cn new land and under new conditions is far reaching and eventually extends to the whole United States, specially those sections devoted to sugar beet and potato production." On September 18 Mr. Grubb was in the Chicago markets, where Idaho potatoes sold in carload lots at 90 cents a bushel while Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan potatoes sold at 42 cents a bushel or $1.50 per hundredweight for Idaho potatoes against 70 cents per hundredweight for Eastern grown potatoes The quarantine bill is the most valuable of any legislation by Congress since the Morrill act establishing agricultura colleges in all the states, said Mr. Grubb, "an i Messrs.

Kuhn gave much aid through the senacors and congressmen from Pennsylvania, all of whom rendered splendid help in passing the bill in the last days of the recent Congress." Laborers A re So Scarce That Agencies Steal Them RALLY DAY Rally Day was observed in the Presbyterian Sunday School yesterday and there were upward cf four hundred pupils in attendance.

This is a most complete document and one that is hard to compile, putting the publisher to no end of inconvenience to satisfy a little whim of somebody higher up. It is not feared by the publisher but when he comes to- mark every little local "advertising" he is going to find it troublesome as well as very expensive his columns. For years the Daily has run paid locals for the merchants and Ithey are both valuable to the newspaper and to the advertiser as well. In the future these little ads will read something like this: Bur shoes at John Doe's shoe store ADVERTISING See our line of fall suits-Smiths-AD-VERTISING. This will require much addition space and will reduce the value of the column.

At the meeting of the Valley Press association held here Saturday evening the matter was discussed at length by the editors and drastic resolutions were adopted condemning it. It is the most discriminating and burdensome piece of legislation that has ever been thrown upon the daily newspaper and further curtails of the independence and freedom of the pub lie. The action of the local Press Association is only the beginning' A what is expected to be a clamor of in. dignation from every newspaper association and every daily publication in the country. Admitted that He Owner a Dof On Friday Health and Ordinance Officer C.

R. Meredith notified Frank White of Park avenue to call at the Mayor's office that evening and pay the license on his dog. This the failed to do and on Saturday a warrant was sworn out for his He was arraigned before the Mayor Saturday evening and stated that he did oot have a dog. In corroboration of his statement Jacob Blatt. who lives at the foot of Linn Alley was called to the witness stand and stated that Frank did not have a dog.

During the course of his evidence, he admitted, however, tha, he ownd a dog on which no licecje had been paid and information was immediately made against him. Blatt paid $2.50 and White paid $3 00 and neither took out a license, claiming that they weie going to get rid of thDd gs. If this is not done they will we prosecuted again. An application was made in Washington today for a marriage license for Juli Purtak and Mary Repany, both of VanVoorhis station. Sunday Observance Law Put Into Effect Yesterday county as well as in the state and the nation but nevertheless we should show our loyalty by the organization of a Taft club and proceed to get activily into the race.

Let us revive the old time marching club with its torch lights and banners, with its red fire and its bands. Let us finish the campaign in an auspicious manner as they did twenty years ago. There has not been a torchlight parade in Monongahela in twenty year or more and this could be arranged at which time speakers of prominence could be secured and a rally held which would serve to bring back into the fold any who may perchance have strayed. This matter is respectfully referred to the Vigilence committee of the Republican party and they are urged to take some action pointing toward political activity in the city. We need 500 laborers right away 500 that we don't seem to be able to find.

However, skilled laborers are easy to obtain. Our plant at Youngstown, especially needs men to load and unload cars." The Pittsburgh division of the Pennsylvania railroad also is said to be anx ious to hire 1,000 extra laborers. As in the case of the steel industry, trainmen and skilled mechanics are plentiful, but laborers are scarce. It is exfiected that South American industries are drawing away the great mass of European immigrants. It is a case of the job hunting the man, according to steel and railroad men.

Sure signs that jobs are plentiful and workmen scarce in the Pittsburgh industrial district it was declared today, are shown by the frequent stealing of laborers from each other by rival employment agencies at various points. Luring men under engagements to work for one concern to violate their agreements with the employment agency that secured them is a misdemeanor in Pennsylvania, and inspectors are kept busy investigating complaints, Coupled with this evidence of the scarcity of work is a statement made by an agent of the Carnegie Steel company. "Five thousand men have been added within the last year to our pay-roll.
