CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FR IDAY , DECEMBER 5. 1919 •'.<!ir« PR ICE , MJSO AJYEAB Letter From Rev. Foster . Editor: Sow® time ago I received a. copy o f ,the Herald containing ,* notfee of the death, and funeral of W. P . Anderson* I t took me hack to the “days of old* which oft’ I think upon. I Weil remember the home of his par­ ents on the Jamestown pike near the Jonathan Williamson farm and the lovely girla and boys th a t gave it sun* shine and gladness, Their memory recalled the home ol my grandparents, the brick house Judge Kyle taugh t my uncles and aupts the Shorter dnd 'Larger, cate­ chism and had them ask and answer in turn,.all the former* 40 of the sec­ ond every Sabbath evening; where ■family worship was observed eyery morning and evening. There were 18 a t home a t one time and such singing of the Psalms—it was an uplift and thrill I shall never forget. . The “'bid grove, school”, originally built by David Turnbull for a private school bu t later taken over for the public school. I recall' the brick school house over the creek aftd my first year there, 1859. Mri Amix ' Was superintendent and his1'wife and Miss Mead (Mrs/ Martin ^Barber), taught. . The creek below attracted the child­ ren when the i^e was smooth , and I attempted to cross "the ice broke, f Went down to my arms. The boys tried Kto l i f t me out but could not. Prank. Bogle, Will Nesbit/Joe Satter: field, Henry Good, Ehenezer Archer all fried bu t failed. Then my teach­ er, Miss Mead, came and lifted me out Quickly. I ’ll not forget that. Then the Hqn. John Orr became . superintendent and Joseph Osborn; and JuliaBird taught dn the' Grove school. in Mr. Oshorn’s room I re­ call BIoss Bird, Will Nesbit, Will Mitchell, Ham Badgley, Deck and Jim Gibney and, their sister, Anna; Mam, ley Simons, Joe Gibson, 'Alex Muff­ ins, James Huffman, Henry . Boyl, David Kyle, Zetta Barber, Joe Barber,' •Josephine.’Gibson,1Jannie MitchelJ, Will Frazer, and others.,- , < ; Then I r e c a li my grandfather Fos­ ter’s home, toward the north of town, a log., house With a spring by the Wil­ low taw toward th e ' barn. tJncls Archie,' cousins Ale* arid John and Bailie McConnell and Aunt Isabelle Made up the family. , A cave in the yard was filled with choice ripples which we knowhow to select and eat Beyond the barn-was th e house,where we lived until I was .eight years old. Pa rind uncle Archie used the bam in common. There was the farm, school house .whete John Calvin taught, the first school I attended, in 1855. Clay Littler, Ah. Stretcher, and' Theodore his brother. Al Haines, Josey and Peter Bishop, Geo. and Thomas Craw­ ford. Then the gravel school house over the Selma pike and Miss Ervin taugh t., I recall Will ToWhsley, Lu­ cy Smith and her brother Will. Buth Mitchel and her brother, I t was a custom to commit and repeat a ques­ tion in the Shorter catechism each morning. Will Towrisley memorized them and every fourth day b e would insist on beginning at- the n rst and quoted his father’s wish, which Miss Ervin could not understand. But P a and Ma wished to be near the Cedarville schools and moved. Uncle Henryk Kyle taking the place continuing to th is day. Then I re ­ called the teaching experience of 1871 when. I was given charge. Every morning We had chapel services. The superintendent read -a chapter and prayed, aU the departments being pre­ sent. Another season of staging and only Cedarvile children caw sing like that. My sisters, Ada and Ella, took turns a t the organ as organists. Hattie TlW, Lucy Tarbox, Joe Barber, Ka­ tie Fay, and my sister, Lattra, lead- frig. Then there Was John Kyle, Fin­ lay Kerr, Henry Barber, Will Dunlap, and my brother, Finley, with the tea­ chers, Hanna Niabet, Anna Gibney, Geo* Ellis Joining in the great song, festival, Then the class in bookkeeping, in Latin and Greek and Geometry-wsie heard before school a t the noon hour or after school, The course was so crowded* Then the jfcrisit of Kev. Sterrett, Rev. Mortonwnd Rev* Haney are n i t forgotten, The second year, 1878-74, brought the “woman’s crusade”. Prayer meeting* were held before saloon doors.

WE FIDDLE a V d FIDDLE WHILE ROME BURNS* We have frequently heard how fa r­ mers have fo plead with their laboring men to work this fall th a t they might get the corn husked. As high sp 38 emits a shock is being paid and yet a large number of-men are content to work only two and three days In the week. This condition not only confronts^ the former, but the manufacturer,.the’ nune owner and almost every line of smployment. MsnVho can make $6 or more a day do not seem inclined to vant a full week a t such wages. For ;his reason the nation’s production is .fast slipping which has much to do With the shortage o f products, We have taken the following from a paid advertisement written by the the president of a large concern in a n , appeal to the country that labor might be induced to assist in incroas-, log the nation's production. * “The. world is hungry for the things we eat, wear and use, Stark Hungry! The cupboard is bare a s a bone. Pri­ ces mount to staggering figures and' the cry of our worker is—more pay; shorter hours—-and then the shortage shoots the price of things up another aotch; again the cry—more pay; less \ hours. . “Ye Gods! Must th is continue? $hall we never See th a t its more hours we need, that to reduce the cost of things \v/e use, we must produce not Jess but more? « “I ju st received a .cablegram from London, reading' ‘Market bare, prices awful, hopeless, sailing home. Oh, if Americans would grasp, their oppor­ tunity,’ "“Prices had gotten so high in4this country and merchandise so' scarce, we sent" abroad, hoping to, find what we needed a t lower prices. The cable message is the answer! Merchandise js evert shorter bu’the other side than here. They have nothing to sell and their shelves are bare. . They want to buy—jtobuy from America—to buy things tha t Americans can make— and -the answer of our workers is— reduce ours, hours-—44 hours a week instead" of 60—a cut in production of 25 per cent. “The writer sympathizes i^ith those who work. He understands what hard work jsMm h a s ', lived it. . He has walked eight miles a day to earn fifty cents .carrying water for the Workers who built the town of Full- Among those who are -attending w , lr the Dive Ktpek Show from this- man,- He ha* .-gotten out of bed a t ET’Dradfute, Hr a.fi/v i*.

He is not a natural born plutocrat; rather—he is the son of a steet worker. He feels "that be knows the need of those who struggle, but anyone would be' indeed foolish who failed to see tha t the waste of time by carpenter,,plumber or any other worker in turn raised the price of rent, raised the price of the very clothes that h e himself wore, and everything used-by him and hia fel­ low worker, ’ “Shorter hours in the city has made the farm worker restless; he, too, wants shorter hours and increased, pay* May Kind Providence preserve^ us if fatm workers ever insist on a 44 hour week or an eight hour day. You and I, my friend, will go hungry. I farm 800 acres and I know what short hours in the city is doing for the farm* : “We may keep high wages, we may keep our present scale, and still re­ duce the highBcost of > living by a simple remedy—work—good, hard, honest, faithful service—*not 8 hours, rather 10 and then some. Let us for one year, a t least, resolve to work, and work like H CAN’T HAVE THE COAL. A. 2 . Smith, superintendent of the Hagar Straw Board & Paper Co., in­ forms us there is no telling when the mill can s ta rt operations. Last Sat­ urday there were, eight cars of coal on siding fo r the ' company hut the railroad,company could not turn it over without orders from the fuel committee. This committee will not allow coal delivered to any concern that has coal* The company has only enough for steaming purposes to keep the'tire pumps in order. Meantime the mill remains closed and many men are out of employment. Such drastic or- orders are only helping to reduce the production not only of paper hut every other line.
