McCHESNEY’S ADDRESS, ‘ The follwing is taken from Dr. Me McChesney’s address: “From time.im memorial nations, have honored -their .victorious soldiers upon their return from war. Along the shore o f the Bed Sea centuries ago Was sung the te deum of Isreal at toe overflow of toe Egyptian, oppressor. Through the hills and dales of ancient Greece were heard the ‘shouts of triumph and the songs of joy celebrating the victories at Marathon and Salamis. No'people doubtless ever surpassed and have seldom equalled majestic Borne in manifesting gratitnde to her conquer­ ing legions. What a gala day was that when some distinguished general from a victorious battlefield entered with his successful' hosts into the '‘eternal city. The homes of the citi tons Were festooned In the resplen­ dent colors o f the republic. The street* were lined with a tinging, shouting populace and even upon the House-top* they would crowd vieing with one another in doing honor to the veterans of their country, return­ ing in the poriip and Splendor o f vie tory and bearing the trophies of con­ quest, and dragging at the wheels of ' their chariots multitudes of prisoners and slave* taken captive on the fields of carnage, all adding to the power and wealth of the proud city on the Tiber and to the glory Of some Cfaesar who sat in imperial authority, over the people and the provinces of his far teaching realm. Nor has our own nation been forgetful of toe exploits o f her noble brave. At the close of the Revolutionary War, The soldiers who fought for independence were duly honored; while Washington’s journey to toe scene of his first in toguaration was one continuous ova­ tion from a grateful people. When toe Federal amriti* of ’«3L’85 ha< brought toe war for the preservation «# tfw ¥«ten to a tueseuful close, toe day is never to be forgotten during whteh hx long lines they filed- through Ftumiyiiwtift awtnue In Washington under tot w tiw M Abraham tfosofo; whi* s i tot Nor&tUtody M l ragfo'iterofifb bdfeteed, and town* and srttiliddined gak stidreaadtoe pee- greeting with smiles and tears ofJoy their boys, who fo£ four years had placed their lives upon the altars of their country in maintenance o f . toe union. Now that the Great World War is at an end, we gather today,; in common with every other commun­ ity of this great American people, who either have done or will do for their soldier sons as we1are here do­ ing, to Welcome back to your homes and places/ to our hearts and affec­ tions, you toe soldiers of Greene county,who from the day that you responded to your country’s "call re­ main*. * true and faithful amid all the trying times of camp and'battlefield, We heard yonr call to arms. We watched you" answer it* We Stood at your side when you'registered; We took*your hands and looked into’ your faces when you started for camp ’and for war. We^pledged bur faith in yon and our support to yop, We read of your- slipping away froth’ the Atlantic coast across-toe sublime deep, of your passing through the cities of,England and of .the splendid^welcome which you feceived there; and tears o f joy fell ever eur cheeks as we^Conld pic­ ture you,strong, steady yourig men, our boys, .bearing' the stars qnd Stripes, emblem of the greatest and freest republic in the world, amid the hosainias of a populace who are sub­ jects of Ine of the oldest,and.strohg- esfc monarchies of earth. ' Then we Watched you^sail. over the- Straits .of JDovCr, disembark at Brest, pas* on to the camps and fields of batifle. While everywhere, you went,-side by side with our dear old flag waved the Tricolor and His Majesty's royal ban­ ner, both”-seemingly proud that they were permitted to he carried in'the same company and upon the t same errand as the/stars and stripes. We saw/Frenchmen and French women and their children-gather about you, fall at your feet and praise God that yon had come to redeem -their land from the heel o f the cruel oppressor, and we join them saying as we did so . . _ . » give onr hoys up and in .God*s $$$£ °* ,. > » — name toll them/to go; hut 0 God, now thet they are there/ in they great strength and fo* thine own sake give them speedy Victory, and though they may never all come home to us,—as in&eed some have not and never will •yet we give them clean and true for the defense of democracy, the -a)iae of humanity, and that free Pro­ xies alt over the earth’ may continue „o enjoy their liberties; and that no autocratic power hereafter shall date to ..endanger those liberties but .now and forever shall learn the lesson to respect toe rights of all- people small or great, “It is a deeply felt pleasure that I have on behalf of the citizens of this your splendid4fcme county of Greene whose, record ajong lines of industry ;su-mdst enviable and whose part in the tfiVR -War xwas unsurpassed by any other region of bur-_.cguntry, to welcome you home-to all of your priv- leges*and rights assuring you of our undying gratitude for what you have so nobly done for us and the whole World*and• pledging to you our un­ ceasing interest in you.

While Xenia streets Were crowded with people there was x^6 disorder to mar the events of Jhe day. So far as we knew not o single intoxicated man could be found which is pretty goot proof that prohibition is being respec­ ted in this county. CEDABVILLE TO THE FRONT, Cedarville had a prominent place and it 1* said had the largest repre sentation of uniformed men in thfe pa­ rade. Andrew Jackson was grant marshal and many of his aids were from hete. The local band boys join ed with toe Xenia band. Dr. McChes ney gave what is thought to have been his, most eloquent address to a Greene county audience. Andrew Winter was the committeeman from this township and to his credit was much of the local interest due, „ Why was the Gr^x&e not active in defeating the recent* direct inheri­ tance tax law in'this state that is to rob the widow 'arid children of the termer if he happen* to have securi­ ties of value in the safety deposit box in the bank? . •* Why was it toe Gtenge did not de­ fend the .farmer. against th^ new health law that is to .provide high sal­ aried jobs in every <^Jmtyin the state wlxen^under toe old Jafyrthe work was done efficiently and without cost’ to the termer? / The Grange Master, L. J. Taber, was the recognized- Representative of these interests in the l&t legislature. He is as much of apolitician as a rep­ resentative farmer, ’ In the light of these laws that haVe been pissed, where toe farmer is not only to be taxed, but to be robbed, if he has laid away a dollar, under, coyer, Wo- ask why.,the Grange was not justified in standing for the farmers’ ‘ interest then? i , A very charming Wedding.was sol­ emnized at the country home of E. T. McClellan on the Cincinnati pike near Xenia, Thursday, when Miss Janet McClellan/the youngest daughter was united in marriage with.John W, Col­ lins, son Of Mr. and Sirs. A. G. Col­ ins-of thi* place. ’ The Rev,. Ernest McClellan, of Bell* Center, brother of tixebride, officiated'at the ceremony and he was assisted by the Rev. F, C.

Stor­ mont.1 The family was at church at the time and no reaaoa can be given as to how the fire started.

However, most 6f the crop is still green and will not do to cut for several days unless we have hot. dry weather or a light frost, As to prices 'W^'hear that some are pay ing 25 cents a shock/ others 20 cents. Many farmers will hog their com where they do nbt intend to seed for wheat. * NOT BUTTER ENOUGH FOR ALL. Do you know that there ii not but­ ter enough made in this country to supply the domestic demands? Few probably ever gave the matter any consideration, If it were not for the use of the various kinds o f oleo, the genuine butter would be selling uc more than a dollafe a pound. $3,000 IN THREE MONTHS. The l&rm of 70 acres on the Federal pike known as the James Hqjmes place and purchased three months ago by John Fitstxck was sold several day ago to Mr. HeirortimdUS, son of Val Heitorrimous of this place. The con­ sideration was $225 an acre, Mr. Pit- stick sold the farm making a nice pro fit of $3,500 hut put $500 improve­ ments on the place leaving him $1000 a month for his investment.
