M CEDARV ILLE, OHIO, F f « L Y , DECEMBER 17,1920 PR ICE , $1.50 A YEAR BB GRA IN g a m b l in g SHOULD BE STOPPED Arthur Capper, of Kansas, WSde public a statement at Waab- ihgtou Uat week in wfaich ho asserts that gambling in grain is the chief reason to r the slump in prices of the yariouh farm products and that “there is a g win gamblers*’ conspiracy to bilk the.people and farmers out of hundreds of millions of dollars, After making thtf statement, Sen ator Capper made public the bill Which he proposes to introduce ir the present congress. The bill will break UJ> grmn. futures except where actual delivery is contemplated, Senator Capper, in .his statement continued with the following expla­ nation; “This hill, will stop all gambling In wheat, com, cotton and other farm products. It will-’eliminate the wheat pit and the blackboard. It will pu t out of business the thousands of wire houses and bucketshops operating in every city of the United States. “The Chicago Board of Trade as now conducted is the world’s' great-. e$t gambling institution. (Com sold 14 times in Chicago before 1 a bushel ctf com had reached the market. Only a- bout one per cent of the trading done in futures represents bona fide trans­ actions for actual delivery. “Because a dot of gamblers find it convenient.to ’bet on the daily quo­ tations the farmer who has been for- ced to sell his' hogs and cattle at a loss while meat* still sells at war prices is again made the goat- The . farmer has already lost*more than a billion? dollars by the bear raid on the board of trade, * “The speculators, b'oth in wheat ahd cotton knqw when the farmers must sell and they take, advantage, to rob them entirely.” ^ All thegrain and cotton producers and dealers, Capper said, will support tthe bill, which will be introduced in each house of congress. The senate, and house agriculture committees continued their joint con­ ference on measures of relief for far,* mere.- Representatives of cotton men were heard. . . The -American people as .a whole indorse th e actions of Kansas upper house representative goes without saying. There is nqt and there never was any good to bo found in this .products! -of 4 b | can be made of if, If a few of the younger generation, go .to home, out of the yr»y place and gamble a t craps for the possession of a few dimes or quarters, they are brought before a judge and fined heavily, but these arch-gamblers of America are 1 allowed to go their way Without any interference aften they have gambled with the million'; of dol lars. This does not seem right and it certainly is hot right. Let .there be a law passed that"will rid this country of these. criminals. Take a little time and write your congressman and the senators frpm this state that you favor this bill and. urge their support of it. They may be for it but if they know that you ore urging it they will only be the strong­ er for it. ?

Now there are seven for a population of 1000, The present trouble has started about the closing hour. The original plan agreed to and carried out for a number of years by the foUrt stores was to close each Tuesday and Thursday evening at 6 o’clock. All other evenings the stores were to be open until 0 p. ffi. Some months ago a store was open­ ed opposite one of the regular gro­ ceries and kept open every night in the week. This eventually forced his competitor across tho street' to keep open every night. Two weeks ago an­ other new store was opened near an­ other of the older stores. This store kept open a t night end the. competitor followed suit. The result was that now all the seven groceries in town are keeping open every night fax the week, al­ though bitterly against the will of the owners of the four original stores. As evidence of the feeling existing C, D, Shelton, one of the original New Carlisle grocers, rah the following advertisement in the local newspaper, the Sun, last Weak: NOTICE Owing to the fact that we are hav ing a great demand for groceries at night and that most of the bank robberies are in daylight, I hare de­ rided to keep my store open all night and on Sundays until after church.

THIEVES TOOK ALL BUTAUTOMOBLE FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REVENUE SLUMP When Henry Ford cut the price of his automobiles he not only made a bid for greater business but he sfent a dent into Uncle Sam’s pocket book that Will -long remain there. The Ford ompany makes about 3,BOO cars a day. This means about 87,000 cars a month. The average reduction was $150. The government waf . tax, ex­ clusive of trucks, it $5 on $ 100 . This indicates a reduction in tax revenue to Uncle Sam of $656,250 a month, or more than $7,800,000 a year. But the reduction of prices is only part of the loss to the government. Lower prices means smaller profits to agents and this will reduce the income tax of all Ford dealers, a loss to the govern­ ment again. An unusual .theft took place some time Tuesday night when .thieves en­ tered the shed where Clarence Stuck­ ey kept his automobile on the Winter farm and took he four tires and rims and extra tire and rim, curtains, tools and cushions from his Overland tour­ ing car, Mr. Stuckey and family had drive nhome in the early part of the night following the evangelistic ser­ vices and put the car away as usual. The discovery of the loss was not known until the next morning. There Was no clue whatever. The loss will reach around $250.

The following are- the grounds as the protest; “Price conditions make an faxtelle- gent revaluation impossible a t the present time} not just to enforce un­ iform rule on real estate alone; levies haVo been voted by taxing districts on old valuations; deprives counties Of home rule as auditors have ample power to order revaluation; interfere with solution of tax problems under­ taken by various organizations in the state in that it inflames real estate interests, ” FOR HIS XMAS Genuine solid black leather belt, one inch Width, Totmgless Ruckle, Gun-metal, Gilt or Niekle colors, in Xmas hox.
