An organization o f farmers banded together for the purpose o f canvass­ ing the county fo r seed com was e f­ fected at a. meeting Saturday when one hundred and fifty interested men gathered in the assembly room of the Business Monte' club. The meet­ ing was addressed-by S.. C. Wheeler, head of the extension department of the Ohio State University, and he impressed upon his hearers the scar­ city o f seed com and the necessity o f planters to examine and test every, ear o f corn before it is sown. The most vital point he brought out was that the com is steadily losing its vitality. Corn that was tested sever­ al weeks ago showed a good per cent « f sprouts and this same com test­ ed today shows a less per cent. The situation is a serious one and every one present realized it and ex­ pressed a wish to co-operate in the movement. . bureau will have charge of. the work bureau wil lhave charge o f the work o f securing seed com and ,each di­ rector ,will be responsible' fo r organ­ izing his; own township by school dis­ tricts- A man from the extension de­ partment of, ti.

There is soon to be a great short­ age o f leather gloves in the United Staten, according to the leading deal­ ers, due to huger^ovemment orders and a marked decline in hide im­ ports. It is predicted that within a few months leather gloves will be almost unobtainable, and that the price in any event will be prohibitive to most consumers. Better carefully, put away that old pair left over from this winter. They may be bat­ tle-scarred but you may need them. CHICKEN THIEVES BUSY^ Chicken thieves lifted four fat hens from C. C.

Wilson delivered 447 bead, all fed together, that averaged 310 pound* and brought $8?,515,98, The embargo on shipping has been not only costly to the paper company but has forced many of its employees to seek other lines o f work. A num­ ber o f them have accepted farm la­ bor and moved to the country. We are unable to -see the justice of the government ordelr in holding down certain manufacturers by this embargo order. Paper is as much of a necessity nowadays as many other things that are being made. As a result, the papei’ market is going wild, every grade from the c’liapest sack used .by the peanut vender to bonds and linens, are leaping in price. It is hard to get an order for newspaper filled for the reason that scores o f companies have been forced to closb as has been the local mill. The worst o f it is there is rto tell­ ing when the order will be .lifted that will permit . mills to operate. The present supply is being exhausted, employees thrown out o f work and companies with great investments un­ able to earn enough to meet over­ head expenses. - ANTIOCH DEFEATS CEDARVILLE A hard fought basket ball contest Saturday between the local college .five, and Antioqh. in Yellow Springs § Camyou buy a better oil or grease for your | Motor Car than Havoline Oil?
