I t was the first of the season hut nothing was secured for hia trouble. About seven o’clock Saturday night Chavis? Johnson, manager1of the Col­ umbus Oil Co., left his home on Mil­ ler street for the Murdock Garage. When he stepped out of the door his dog proceeded him but in an instant the dog, which has the faculty of . biting strangers, landed in a heap at the grape arbor, Mr. Johnson did' not think anything of -the episode and continued, up town. He had no sooner arrived a t the garage than his wife called him and notified him that some one had tried to enter the house, A window on the south side had been raised and Mrs. Johnson saw a man a t the window. She gives a very good description ( the fellow who was described as be­ ing colored. Upon Mr. Johnson’s ar­ rival there was no one about, The dog has a broken leg which indicates th a t he had attacked the man who kicked it a terrible blow.- I t is likely that had Mr. Johnson followed up the trouble he would have found the fel­ low working to get the window up. Eater in .the evening the Lees’ blood hounds of Xenia were placed on trail. One dog took a trail from the Johnson home that led though that p a rt of ^town, up Bridge street by back, alleys to- the college campus, across' the school grounds into a field on the' Arnold place. In the trail the dog found three livechickens in the field in a sack.. The trail then con­ tinued through Pittsburg to the rail­ road and ^topped. The o.th'er dog was placed on the trail and three different times it lead to the door of C.. M. Spencer’s res- turant. The supposition is that Mr. John­ son being manager for The Columbus Oil Co,, he had considerable money on hand and that Saturday night would be a good time to “pull the .job." . , . . , Friday night robbers landed about two dozen chickens belonging to Halbert Evans on the farm belong- 1 ing to Mrs. G. M. Barber. A fine plush robe was also taken. > A few nights previous Grover Brickeh who, resides between this; place and Jamestown, had four fa t- hogs stolen.

Other recommendations in the res­ olutions were as follows: 1 To form with other farmers’ or­ ganizations a state-wide cooperative buying and selling company. Establishment of rural police pro­ tection. Close co-operation -between the grange and the Ohio Farm Bureau federation. To provide suitable homes for neg­ lected children.

Opposition to the RolstOn-Nolan bill which would tax all land over $10,000 In value one per cent. Changes in the .administration of the farm loan act to benefit a greater number of land owners. Demand for a practical farmer as secretary of agriculture in Harding’s cabinet. Re-forcstr&tion of waste and idle lands in Ohio. Maintenance of the Ohio experi­ ment station as a distinct institution o,i an equality with the colleges of the Ohio State University if it should be placed^ under the administration of the university board of trusses. IOWA CORN SELLING AT 35 CENTS Allen Turnbull, who teaches science In the Spencer, Iowa, high schools when asked as to business conditions in tha t section stated tha t most of the farmers are holding their oats and many of them have two crops of com on hand, theold and the new. The market price of com is about 35 cents and oats 30 cents, but little is being sold. Great piles of husked corn are seen on most every farm.

In fact, so well has this idea been developed that the most influential divi­ sion of the farm press comprises what is known as ter­ ritorial publications. They cater to the interests of the agriculture of a certain region defined by natural condi­ tions and render their readers a full measure of service that is designed particularly for them. The people of the smaller cities and towns should appreciate this same idea as it pertains to the weekly, semiweekly and daily papers that are published in their midst. A good newspaper is a fine thing for a locality. It is a real asset. ,lt gives the news that is of special interest to the folks at home and forms the hub about whichthe wheel of neighborhood activities centers, Many of the papers published in our smaller cities carry more news of general interest than is to be found in some of the hig city dailies which too often sacrifice real news of value fqr mere sensational news of the locality is presented with a proper degree of editorial consideration it not only keeps the local people well informed as to what is going on about them but also adds a dignity to affairs in general that might otherwise fee lacking. We have no quarrel with those who take and read regularly a good clean city daily, but everybody owes it to his home community to support the local pa­ pers which are such a large factor in making the home town and the country surrounding it a good place to live. There is also much to be done in supporting the- local paper in advertising patronage. It is surprising how little appreciation is shown of the local Newspaper in an advertising way. FarriTers especially can often utilize the advertising columns of the local paper to sell or locate for purchase what they may wish to buy but do not know where to find. Do not overlook the local papers. You need them and they need your support.—-The Ohio - Farmer. - LET THE WALKERS 'WOMEN FAILED TO KEEP ON WALKING, VOTE FOR THEIR SEX Now that many men are out of employment there will be a contin­ uous string of beggers walking about the country. Many will take advan­ tage of a story of being a world war veteran or that they are crippled or deformed and they ask your assist­ ance. Do not be mislead by such ap­ peals for in most cases these men are imposters. If a man is out beg­ ging and is a war veteran he should be investigated. The government has ample provisions for these men. The class th a t begs for a living should be turned over to the authorities. There are placed in the large cities where men are trained to purposely dislo­ cate their amis or legs a t any time that they may beg from the public. Not nil beggers come under this class but people should be very careful just who they assist. LOCAL MAN IS HIGHLY HONORED At a meeting of the various farm organizations in Indianapolis some days ago when a meeting of the Na­ tional Farm Bureau wa3 held, a local farmer and noted stockbreeder O. E< Bradufte, was choser vice president. Mr. Bradfute is president of the Ohio Farm Bureau and has devoted much of his time to the promotion of the future success of this organization. DID NOT FARE WELL. The College Boys’ Basket ball team did not fare well on the trip to Day- ton and Cincinnati Friday and Satur­ day, The Dayton University won by a .score of 4341 and the Oiheinnati University 63-7. The floors in each place were much different than what the hoy# have here which made bas­ ket throwing almost an impossibility only to those who knew the floors, ’ I t seems rather strange how wo­ men refust to lend their suffrage to women asking for public office. This fact was proven in November when many candidates for national and state offices were defeated. In the municipal elections held some days ago in Massachusetts there were a large number of women out for city and town offices and in almost every instance they were defeated except where they were candidats for mem­ bers of school boards. The /talk of or­ ganizing a purely woman’s party can not have much force unless women themselves decide to vote for their own sex, which up to the present _time has not been done. I t is not like- ; ly that the women of other s’tates are >any difffferent than those in Massa­ chusetts. CORONER HOLDS AUTO DRIVER GUILTY Coroner R. L.

In addi­ tion to these there will be about 1,500 troops o f ’the Ohio National Guard, regulars from the Columbus barracks, Ohio State university students and the Cleveland Grays, an independent organization, the entire membership of which is coming to Columbus to act as Governor-elect Davis’ personal escort. The national guard will be repre­ sented by the Fourth Ohio regiment of infantry, with headquarters in Co­ lumbus, since most of the companies composing it are in the central part of the state and the transportation costs will be small. Additional units will consist.of Battery E, First Field Ar­ tillery, Cantoni two machine gun com­ panies, Springfield; First Ambulance Company, Columbus; Troop B, First Ohio Cavalry, Columbus, and the Third Battalion, Ohio Naval Militia, Columbus. The Canton battery will bring its guns and fire the governor’s salute.

In our hearts and minds are gratitude and good thoughts for you during every day of the year; but Christmas hallows our sentiments and makes their expression fitting and timely. Such as we have accomplished and such good as may be traceable to our efforts would not have been possible: without your sustaining power and co-operation. If in any sense we have upheld a beacon, you have supplied oil for the lamp. If ours has been a, chariot, yours has been the motive ele- rtient which has kept it on its way. V * . All characters appealing to or endeavoring to entertain the public, must be given a certain meed of applause or they cannot exist.

Annouwo# you* Committees from eight patriotic organizations of ,the-state will have charge of the distribution Of $2,000 worth of gifts a t the institution on kffl* dfftff ha the .Christmas morning. Each child will be given a present. There are a number of lines, par­ ticularly the implement and fertilizer manufacturers, saying they wi’?. no; be able to reduce the price p£ their goods next year due to the faet that raw materials have been contracted for a t the inflated prices. In view of the fact that most every other line has met reduced prices or expects to before the business season opens in the spring, it is-al­ most amusing to read reports that the above manufacturers cannot re­ duce their prices. . A notable move for the reduction of steel and iron goods was when a big steel industry sent -out notice the past week that no more steel would be supplied to concerns that had what is known as the “closed -shop", fac­ tories that employ nothing, but union ’abor. This means that many of the closed shops must shut down or .pen their door., to aF 1>r,i of b her where men will be paid according to their ability to earn and -not. on the demand for a schedule set up by the union. In contrast with the above situation is the farmer that has had to pay the inflated prices for all his raw mater­ ial and labor, but in the past, four months his manufactured products have dropped in price- from 50 to 150 per cent, and he has no recourse ' and must stand the loss. The implement manufacturer will be in the same position as the auto­ mobile manufacturer who could ,not v see tha t a reduction of a price on aK ' luxury would be necessary in the re ­ adjustment period.. His plant is now closed and there is no prospect for business other than to . the onq man who even cut to the bottom on .what was known as a cheap car. The fate of the implement manu- ? facturers will be that of the auto­ mobile maker. There will be no bus­ iness and such plants will be idle. Another branch of American bus­ iness that must suffer reductions is the railroads. If the farmer and the manufacturer must cut in price the railroads must do the same. Since 50 per cent of the freight carried is ; farm produce, and the farmer -pays four-sevenths of the income of the railroads, it means that things will be out of, proportion unless the rail freight rates are reduced. , Higher freight rates added to the cost of! living to no small extent and if the# air basis, th e railroads ipdpt. also i ; have a substantial reduction,in their ■- freight and passenger rates. INCOME TAX NEXT. OIL SECTION The W. L. Clemans Land Co. owns a quarter section of irrigated land near the Texas line and within three miles of Carlsbad, New Mexico. Oil in large quantities has been found and many companies are promoting, ahd developing leases. The Cleman3 company is a waiting the development of that section before making any disposition of the land. Mr. GlemanS has great faith in the success for oil on that tract and we should not be surprised if a company would not be formed a t some time to drill for oil. In some quarters oil is found a t 250 feet and others a t 2800 feet. The cost of putting down a well is about $5 a foot. The land is underlaid with ar- tisinn water that is used to irrigate for crops. Five miles away the govern meat built the I’ecos Valley dam a t a cost of $500,000 to irrigate several hundred thousands of arid lahd th a t is very productive for all kind of crops. Thq time is not very far awa; when Uncle . Sam will send out the blanks for the income tax. Under present conditions there will no doubt be some who will not have to pay an income tax this year. But there will be others that will. Even those whose income is not sufficient to call for a payment of the tax, it will be necess­ ary tfi make a return ju st the same. Under the. law each one is allowed to deduct fifteen per cent of the net income for charitable, educational and religious gifts. You cannot de­ duct more than fifteen percent. , There is hardly a taxpayer in this section but what cati tell before the first of January whether he will have to pay a tax on his income. To tho~ < who do we urge that if fifteen per cent of your income has not already been pledged, that you make a gift of such an amount to Cedarville Col­ lege and specify that ’it go in the en­ dowment fund or the fund to assist worthy boys and girls in receiving a Christian education. While there are more that might emulate the gift of the late W. A. Col­ lins to Cedarville College, there is nothing to prevent income tax payers taking advantage of the fitfeen per cent clause in the law and make a gift to Cedarville College. If you have pledged all but ten dollars of this ex­ emption, send it in. Fifteen taxpay­ ers giving ten dollars each is ?15fl. Twenty tax payers at $25 each would give the college $500 to be used in a noble cause and you are out noth­ ing or the government the loser. From the amount of income tax paid by men and women in this section in years back’ we feel sure that $500 could be raised in this way this year and for years to come if the exempt­ ions of $lpOO for single men and $2000 for married imen remain as they are. We are sure that your gift of even a small 3um as ten dollar# raised in the above manner would be greatly appreciated. HARMON GIVES LEB- - ANON A HOSPITAL. William E.
