The General Synod of the Evangelical arid .Reformed Church which has been .in--session for a full week at Fort Wayne, Indiana, has adjourned to meet again in 1938 in Columbus, Ohio. The'sessions disposed of the matters thatccamel before it. The finest Christian spirit prevailed throughout and almost all actions were taken by unanimous vote. The report of the executive committee listed a surprising amount of progress in* conducting the work of * the'Church unitedly. Not a single dispute arose that required adjudication. Three days were devoted to discussion of the * constitution and by-laws for the united Church. The new Church makes no distinction whatever between men and women. A woman could be ordained as an elder or ■deacon, or even.as a minister. Officers of the last two years were .unanimously re-elected.

You'll *be surprised how reasonably he will transform an old looking piece into something beautiful. ACCORDING to the program, Philadelphia scrapple was served yesterday morning to the Jadies attending the Democratic National convention. Scrapple is rarely served in that city during the summer, but to my way of thinking it is a dish fit for the gods if it is not spoiled in frying. Off hand, I should say that Lancaster, York or Berks county furnished the scrapple for the breakfast. It is strictly a Pennsylvania "Dutch" concoction and it tastes just a wee bit better in Lancaster and in Reading than it does in the Quaker 'City. Pepperpot is another delectable disli they serve in Philadelphia in the winter. Morning newspaper workers made a bee-line for the old Girard House for a bowl of pepperpot before going liome after a hard night's work. Those were the days and nights this writer recalls with a glow of pleasure —scrapple and pepperpot! But alack and alas, they are no more for me! ■t t t r,S Wednesday :night :mummers will parade'on-Broad street, then crown some.young lady queen of the convention. The Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a show well worth the space it gets in the papers, but it will run second to the mummers' parade in Philadelphia on New Year's iday. If the mummers tonight give half the performance they do on the first iof January the*visitors**will see some- (thing they vwill n6t 'foTget for years.

Emperors, kings, queens' arid famous characters in his- ito-py '.walk ; proudly along or sit in chariots while the bands play on! In 'North/ Ninth street was a large warehouse where a man could enter in the clothes of an ordinary American and emerge an. hour later looking like 'George Washington, Hamlet, Shylock, Napoleon or any character he chose to assume. Women after a visit to the warehouse resembled Sarah Gamp, Goneril, Eugenie, Queen Victoria, Martha Washington, or other women renowned in history, song or novel. The owners rented the clothes, jewels and swords to responsible persons/The renting of silk hats and evening clothes netted tlie warehouse a substantial sum of money each month.. Mummers went* tlnove for their showy garments. If the place is still doing business at the old stand it will furnish the "color" for the parade tonight. $ t t TTNLESS the delegates have seasoned JJ guides they may find themselves lost in Fairmount park. That is if they start out looking for Independence 'hall and the Liberty bell, Ben Franklin's grave, Carpenter hall and a few other places regarded as sacred spots in America. Strange though it may seem, thousands of persons born in Philadelphia can not tell offhand where the above places are located. This writer once assigned two reporters to ask pedes trians passing Independence hall to tell them the shortest way to reach the hall. Few knew. They "thought" it was somewhere in the neighborhood. To this writer's personal knowledge there are more young men and women in North* Canton familiar with historic places in Philadelphia than there are in that city, population considered. t t t CONVENTIONS*culled to renominate a man for President of the United 'States are tame affairs from a political viewpoint. The delegates know in advance what is expected of them and like trained soldiers they ■carry out the orders'issued. As stated in this column several weeks ago I have seen more genuine enthusiasm at a meeting to elect a county chairman than I saw when McKinley or Coolidge were renominated. 'Governor Theodore Roosevelt of New York put up a bit of bluff when they named him as McKinley's running mate in Philadelphia, and asserted he wouldn't take it, but as all tlie world knows, he did. In Cleveland the delegates munched peanuts and popcorn when Coolidge was named to succeed himself, and except for a few yells arid the band playing, the entire convention resembled Calvin, "cool arid collected." However, a convention of either party is worth 'loolcing • at. The celebrities are present anil they do more or less posing. Foreign diplomats are [Continued on back page] FIREWORKS DISPLAY SATURDAY, JUNE 27 American Legion To Sponsor Festival and Show and If Night Is Clear It Is Expected a Numerous Audience Will Be In Attendance.

As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice Business Census F OR several months the United States government has been asking not "How is business?" but "How was business in the year 1035 ?" The Bureau of the Census, attached to the Department of Commerce, started on January 2 to take its second census of American business. There was one covering the year of 1933. It had a precedent in the census of distribution taken in li)2U. A business census covers a wide range of activities, distinct from those of agriculture. Manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade, hotels, amusements, insurance,_ the real estate business, construction, trucking, warehousing, banking, finance, business services and bus transportation, with some other entries, are in the list of the fields covered by the census takers. The information obtained will show among other things the volume of business in 1935, operating expenses, the number of persons employed, the size of the payrolls and specialized trade statistics. The business man need not worry for fear that his affairs will become public property. Only sworn employes of the Census Bureau examine the individual returns, and even other government agencies are denied access to them. The business census should go far to complete the picture of American conditions. It offers a means of getting at the truth concerning variations in'employment' through the census years as well as throwing further light upon the ups and downs of the volume of business. The Census Bureau promises to begin releasing reports by states in July. In other words, the information is to be made of contemporary interest rather than deferred until a time when it could be classed as statistical history. Uncle Sam will thus be better able to form a better idea of where he is at. And a business census is something every man engaged in business needs as a guide. It opens new avenue's of trade or it warns a man where to go slow in investing Ms money. The Bureau of the Business Census is of course a permanent institution and to Herbert Hoover must go the credit for establishing while President what is really.a dictionary and directory of business life in the United States.

He asks this newspaper to line up with him. "I vote for Republicans and I vote for Democrats, but I nm thoroughly disgusted with the high- sounding promises which we hear in all campaigns. Candidates who are using these promises to achieve positions should be soundly defeated." The Sun agrees with its correspondent that "something ought to be done." Defeat would prove more effective than any mere law in putting an end to demagogic chicanery. Unfortunately we are in for more oi the same thing in the coming contest in the nation and state and county. The nominees when they were candidates discovered that the plan works, and the best "promiser" gets the most votes. While all this connotes a low degree of intelligence on the part of the voters, apparently it is an accurate estimation of the situation and the politicians have been quick to take full advantage of it. Yet, whether there is any statutory way to save the citizens from their own folly must remain a question. While we have ways of reimbursing the purchaser of a coat that is offered as genuine fur when in fact it is an imitation and while there is a legal remedy if what is sold as a pedigreed pig is really only a mongrel, there is no method of protecting ourselves against the men who dupe us into electing them by pretending to be what they are not and by promising to do what they cannot do and know they cannot do when they promise. Yet the damage caused by these political mountebanks is so vast that the misrepresentations of the business cheat seems almost inconsequential in comparison. So far as campaign humbuggery is concerned, about the only recourse left to us is in the nature of locking the garage after the automobile is stolen. In the course of time we can turn the tricksters out. That is the course to which all citizens everywhere should set their hand when officeholders of either party who rode into position through exaggerated promises and who failed to keep them seek reelection.

Poisoning of 12 head of cattle on pasture is reported by one veterinarian in northeastern Ohio, and county agricultural agents in the state say that other losses have occured that appear to have been due to the animals eating some poisonous plant.

BUCKEYE BOYS* STATE This week the Ohio Department of the American Legion, through the media of Buckeye Boys' State, embarks on one of the greatest drive against communism th'it the Department ever has witnessed. There will be. no inflammatory speeches, .no blaring of trumpets, but just a good old-fashioned school to ■teach our future citizens the whys anil wherefores of the good old American form of government. In the past, the subversive elements have through their mouthpieces done considerable loud talking, with the result that they have obtained considerable publicity. The greatest contribution the American Legion can make to good government is to show to its citiz<-'is and future citizens just why we have the form of government which v.e bave and how it functions.

All parts of this plant are poisonous and only a small amount has to be eaten to cause death. The water hemlock is as toxic to human beings as it is to animals. Farmers who want to eradicate the water hemlock from pastures can learn to recognize the plant. The plant's stems are smooth, hollow, and usually much branched. These stems tend to grow erectly. The branches are spaced on the stem so that each is on a different side of the stem than the one above or below it. The leaves are divided several times so that they resemble those of the carrot somewhat. The white flowers are small and are borne in open clusters on the ends o fthe branches. The seeds are split in two boat-shaped which are joined on the flat sides. Boy For Gerbers Born to Mr. and Mr.s. Russell Ger- Canton, left on Monday for several ber, a son, on Thursday! June 14.

Evangelical *.and Reformed Church To
•Meet Again In 1938.
The General Synod of the Evangelical arid .Reformed Church which
has been .in--session for a full week
at Fort Wayne, Indiana, has adjourned
to meet again in 1938 in Columbus,
Ohio.
The'sessions disposed of the matters
thatccamel before it. The finest Christian spirit prevailed throughout and
almost all actions were taken by
unanimous vote.
The report of the executive committee listed a surprising amount of
progress in* conducting the work of
* the'Church unitedly. Not a single dispute arose that required adjudication.
Three days were devoted to discussion of the * constitution and by-laws
for the united Church. The new
Church makes no distinction whatever
between men and women. A woman
could be ordained as an elder or
■deacon, or even.as a minister.
Officers of the last two years were
.unanimously re-elected.

Mr. and.'Mrs.Ed Stokes of Paines-
ville, with their daughter, Kathrine
and son, Paul were dinner guests on
Sunday of :Mr. and Mrs. Albert Clouser of 323 East.'JBachtel street.

Kathrine Schrantz now ill in their
home on Portage street.

were entertained with a group of relatives in the home of Miss Esta Stoner

Mr. Frye a Cabinet Maker
If you are interested in refinished
• or made over furniture, go to the
'Frye furniture hospital when Mr. Frye
has an old piece of furniture just refinished and see the : beautiful work
that is done in ;h'is r4hop at 221 West
Maple street, or if you have an old
piece to do over icall :9749 and consult on price. You'll *be surprised how
reasonably he will transform an old
looking piece into something beautiful.
ACCORDING to the program, Philadelphia scrapple was served yesterday morning to the Jadies attending the Democratic National convention. Scrapple is rarely served in
that city during the summer, but to
my way of thinking it is a dish fit
for the gods if it is not spoiled in
frying. Off hand, I should say that
Lancaster, York or Berks county furnished the scrapple for the breakfast.
It is strictly a Pennsylvania "Dutch"
concoction and it tastes just a wee
bit better in Lancaster and in Reading than it does in the Quaker 'City.
Pepperpot is another delectable disli
they serve in Philadelphia in the
winter. Morning newspaper workers
made a bee-line for the old Girard
House for a bowl of pepperpot before
going liome after a hard night's work.
Those were the days and nights this
writer recalls with a glow of pleasure
—scrapple and pepperpot! But alack
and alas, they are no more for me!
■t t t
r,S Wednesday :night :mummers
will parade'on-Broad street, then
crown some.young lady queen of
the convention. The Mardi Gras in
New Orleans is a show well worth
the space it gets in the papers, but
it will run second to the mummers'
parade in Philadelphia on New Year's
iday. If the mummers tonight give half
the performance they do on the first
iof January the*visitors**will see some-
(thing they vwill n6t 'foTget for years.
There :are 'hundreds of mummers'
oilutos ;in Philadelphia rand it is esti-
*.mated Ithat *'$5OJO0O' is: spent annually
in-costumes.arid floats. The parades
are really gorgeous. Emperors, kings,
queens' arid famous characters in his-
ito-py '.walk ; proudly along or sit in
chariots while the bands play on!
In 'North/ Ninth street was a large
warehouse where a man could enter
in the clothes of an ordinary American
and emerge an. hour later looking like
'George Washington, Hamlet, Shylock,
Napoleon or any character he chose
to assume. Women after a visit to the
warehouse resembled Sarah Gamp,
Goneril, Eugenie, Queen Victoria,
Martha Washington, or other women
renowned in history, song or novel.
The owners rented the clothes,
jewels and swords to responsible
persons/The renting of silk hats and
evening clothes netted tlie warehouse
a substantial sum of money each
month.. Mummers went* tlnove for their
showy garments. If the place is still
doing business at the old stand it will
furnish the "color" for the parade
tonight.
$ t t
TTNLESS the delegates have seasoned
JJ guides they may find themselves
lost in Fairmount park. That is
if they start out looking for Independence 'hall and the Liberty bell, Ben
Franklin's grave, Carpenter hall and
a few other places regarded as sacred
spots in America.
Strange though it may seem, thousands of persons born in Philadelphia
can not tell offhand where the above
places are located. This writer once
assigned two reporters to ask pedes
trians passing Independence hall to
tell them the shortest way to reach
the hall. Few knew. They "thought"
it was somewhere in the neighborhood. To this writer's personal knowledge there are more young men and
women in North* Canton familiar with
historic places in Philadelphia than
there are in that city, population considered.
t t t
CONVENTIONS*culled to renominate
a man for President of the United
'States are tame affairs from a
political viewpoint. The delegates
know in advance what is expected of
them and like trained soldiers they
■carry out the orders'issued. As stated
in this column several weeks ago I
have seen more genuine enthusiasm
at a meeting to elect a county chairman than I saw when McKinley or
Coolidge were renominated.
'Governor Theodore Roosevelt of
New York put up a bit of bluff when
they named him as McKinley's running mate in Philadelphia, and asserted he wouldn't take it, but as all
tlie world knows, he did.
In Cleveland the delegates munched
peanuts and popcorn when Coolidge
was named to succeed himself, and
except for a few yells arid the band
playing, the entire convention resembled Calvin, "cool arid collected."
However, a convention of either
party is worth 'loolcing • at. The celebrities are present anil they do more
or less posing. Foreign diplomats are
