State Convention Dates.

After full consultation with al' the members of the State CentralCommittee, State Chairman Hernley has settled upon April 23 and 26 as the dates of the state convention. This is nearly a month earlier than the &ates first chosen. Sound Sense From the Buckeye State. We like this item from an exchange: “The merchants who want the local newspapers to*roast grooery peddlers, oheapjohn stofes and the like would make newspaper men feel more like doing so if they would quit using free letterheads of soap firms and wholesale gargling oil envelopes, bakingpowder statements, sidewalk advertisements and rubber stamps, and patronize home printing offices.” It might be added that fewer looal papers would be found oarrying advertisements of Sears, Roebuck & Co., Montgomery Ward & Co., and other mail order concerns if their spaoe were properly oooupied by home merchants.
