Ohio Is said to raise more ferrets

If the truth were made known as the
reason why so many farmers In the

Instead of the date for the actual
opening of the Tanama canal being sot
later than the time originally decided
on, Jan. 1, 1915, those in charge of the
work assert that it will be sufficiently
completed to handle traffic by Oct 1,
1013. The building of the canal seems
likely to be a great stimulus to south
ern and western trade, and this will be
true especially of neacoast ports and
territory. Some Idea of what foreign
nations are expecting of the canal as
commercial factor is Indicated In the
report that they hnve spent or have
laid out Improvements in harbor and
other facilities totaling 1225.000,000.
