I m EnK*t in theThrift Stamp Campaign!! She FQRTT-FIRST YEAR NO, 38, “ KAISRRISM f i n a l l y w in s in COUNTY INSTITUTE, The victory o f the county teachers at the institute at the opening session last week resulted in a “ rout" on the final day when it came to the election o f officers. A t the last session the resolutions passed are said to have been the "rawest" ever endorsed in such a gath* ering. Strong arm methods prevailed and Supt, Patterson and the teachers who advocated an open management o f the institute were defeated •by County Superintendent Reynolds, A t the opening'session it is said the county supeintendent, under a veiled threat tried to force the teachers to his support. A s the superintendent has the power over teachers’ certifi­ cates he held a strong club te bring the reluctants to terms. During the various sessions a prop­ aganda was spread that weakened the teachers, who feared the superintend­ ent would not. sign the credentials that gave them $2 per day for atten­ dance at the institute. An inspector from the state depart- ment by the name o f Oliver delivered, an impassioned talk defending' Rey­ nolds. Oliver is said-to have exhib­ ited himself more like a prise figther than an educator. Previous to his talk he withdrew his coat and rolled up his sleeves and went after the as­ semblage with hammer and tongs. Judging .from the numerous letters '-.we have, receivedJand the comment among teachers and on the street, here and in Xenia, the end is not yet The time has not arrived when the .people, o f this county will deliberately stand back and see worse than politi­ cal convention methods adopted in public school work. A number o f things have happened within the past two years, "coupled 1with, the incident o f last week, that haye fired the temper o f our citizen­ ship. ' It was this man Oliver-that acted aS the cats-paw in the charges being filed against the late C. C. Morton. Events o f the past week are just bringing happenings o f the past to th.e surface and the responsibility of such “ black-hand” methods are being traced to some heretofore mentioned in that case." So far as local people are concerned, the- case was settled at the last school board election. .The only thing o f importance was to bring out the names o f those who laid, the foundation fo r the assassin’s dirty work. t , , jSupt. F. P. Ritenou,, o f Ross town­ ship, and Supt. D. L . Crawford, o f Xenia township, each fe ll victim to the “ system” that is and has been at w o rk :,since, the application ,of ‘the county school law. No superintendent or teacher dares stand up fo r individ­ ual rights without having to- pay the -penalty. " The attitude o f the powers that be is best shown in the resolutions passed and ordered published. It is said the vindictiveness o f the “ sys- tem>’ is shown in most every line and only reflects the truth o f various charges made by the teachers. The application o f any Saw in such a manner is bound to breed disrespect on the part o f the people. Such events especially in school affairs should not go “unchallenged I f the proper state authorities fa il in their duty the pat­ rons o f the school should and will ex­ ercise their, rights in breaking down the rule o f the iron hand in school affairs as they are determined to do abroad. „ CONGRESSMAN FESS MANAGER. Congressman $. D, F-ess, of this district, has been made chairman o f the National Republican Congress­ ional Committee, a Efforts are being made fo r return o f Congress to Re­ publican control., Certainly the man­ agement o f governmental affairs war­ rants some change. A Republican House will have a tendency to throt­ tle down the Socialistic-ideas o f gov­ ernment that are being forced upon the people at this time.

The farmers o f the country have been called upon by the Govenment to rdise the biggest crop , o f wheat in 1919 that they have ever grown. This has been designated, at the “ Liberty Harvest.” The winter wheat acreage called for is 45,000,000—and in Ohio we.are being asked to grow 3,000,000 acres o f wheat, which would yield 60,- 000,000 bushels i f the wheat averaged 20 bushels per acre. This is an increase in acreage and an increased yield over former years, both o f which depend on ithe farmers o f Ohio? , ■ , For Greene county an increase such as this means, from 7 to 10 per cent more wheat thah we have been grow­ ing in the past. It means a slight in­ crease in acreage, and also slightly better cultural conditions than we have been giving our -wheat. Speaking a t the Rosemoor picnic, Dean Vivian asserted “ that the wheat shortage would-be met i f every farm­ er o f the country seeded one more acre than he did last year; or if every farmer'.used better seed the world’s wheat supply would be complete." A good many farmers ate increasing their wjlieat acreage by putting wheat. ground1back into wheat. This is poor farm management justified only by the Government’s call fo r wheat, and pom- crop management because a much better yield can .be obtained i f the wheat follows other crops. ^ In regard trf the increasing o f .the vield per acre,, three or fou r points Uand out above all the rest: (1) the -so o f acid phosphate on Wheat has' given a return o f 48 bushels fo r every 100 lbs. o f fertilizer applied On 12 experimental farms over the state. We can use 2 to 300 lbs. o f fertilizer with, profit on the wheat crop. (2) W e are told by those in authority that there is little 4danger from an Out­ break o f Hessian Fly .this year; and that if we seeded a little earlier we would lessen the danger ’ from the joint-worm. It is a fact, too, that early sown wheat is a little freer from disease than later sown wheat. (3) Good seed is undoubtedly a prime factor this year and an at­ tempt should he made by those whose wheat is o f poor duality to get good seed from their neighbors or from recommended seed. (4) Seed treat­ ment to prevent disease is more im­ portant than ever before because we have had so much smut and scab .n some cases that the seed is unfit fo r use without treating. It is always good insurance to use the formaldehyde treatment on wheat. By observing these ,few cardinal principles this year with wheat we can do what our government asks— feed a world crying fo r bread and be worthy of the boys who are over there. WHAT’S $290,000,000? . We have received a long communi­ cation from somebody down in Wash­ ington seeking to explain what the railroads are doing now and what they have done in the past. There is much talk about freight train miles, loaded car miles and all that sort o f thing. We found nothing to explain how the railroads lost $290,000,000 operating the first six months o f the yea t under McAdoo’s orders. Neither was their explanation as to freight congestion and why a freight ship­ ment o f ours that has been on the road more than five weeks is being held up. Mr. McAdoo may know where it is but none o f his employees can give us any infromation. -Somewhere in France, Sunday, Aug, 4, 1918. My Dear Sister; Having a few minutes this after­ noon I will endeavor to drop a line or so to let you know I am still think­ ing o f .you. The mail is very slow coming oviu here, and I have re. eived practically no mail at all, I wrote you a letter sometime ago, and same should he in your possession by this time. You see all o f our mail is censored and we can’t write about everything we would like to, conse­ quently it is rather a difficult job to try and construct a letter, but never­ theless" you will hear from me from time to time in order that you may know that I am still alive. * I suppose you are reading the ac­ counts o f the war back in America in the daily papers. Well, the Amer­ icans are certainly giving the boche all he wants, and there will he no, let up until the Yanks have battered up Berlin, Just when we- will be firing on1Berlin is somewhat o f an uncertainty, but as the old Bong goes “ It’s a long ways to Berlin; but we . wilL/get there.” j Ivmust tell you a few things about the place where we are now stationed, This place where we are now at is a. large Estate, owned .by a Princess, * Who; by the w a y . is an American I woman, and She certainly has treated us hoys great. This Estate covers quite an immense territory, and has many fine lanes, and beautiful scenery all over the Estate, and I spend a good Seal of my leisure hours taking walks around the place. ■r I .must also inform you that I am not up on the firing line, I am quite a little ways from there, but no one knows the day Of hour we will -be given orders to pack up and pull out to help our pals out there, in this great fight fo r Democracy. The eats we are getting,over here are good, and as a matter o f fact conditions in every Tespect are much better than I ever anticipated, there- is no, cause whatever for complaint. We certainly have fine officers and they treat us very good. We have a small creek, or. brook encircling the place where we are staying and occassionally I take a little row. T have been on numerous frog,hunts, and it sure is great sport, to go and spear the frogs, they are as thick as bees around here.. . j I suppose you would like to hear! something o f my journey across the deep, blue sea.

The order o f the fuel administra­ tion to cut out all joy riding on Sab­ baths resulted in the rule being ob­ served by autoists.
