CEDARVILLE, OHIO. FRIDAY, JANUARY" 11, 1924 FARMCONDITIONS i AREBSIGHTERi Farmers are better off and the outlook for 1924 bright, says the Committee on Statistics of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in its report. The spread of prices between farm products and manufactured articles, the report says, is di- mishing and has brought about this improvement. Co-operative marketing and better opportuni­ ty for financing, together with general liquidation of obligations . has worked out the situation for better balance. Continued improvement this year is predicted on the ground that acerage will be decreased and that supply and demand will be in this mamier, adjusted to ben­ efit farmers. Another factor is the movement toward cities of per­ sons living in the country and the momentous building cam­ paigns that are under way in the cities to house them. Although the output of automo biles “ continues at an enormous rate,” a slowing down in this and the building industry is predicted, due generally to a potentia lcapac- ity of output which overtops any immediate likelihood of demand. “Upon the whole,” the report States, “ the situation seems heal­ thy and sound, with conservatism strongly in evidence in all sec­ tions.” j- THOSE NOISY MINORITES M V FIRST MEETING OF ' NEW COUNCIL The first meeting of council with Mayor Funsett presiding was held Monday* evening.

SUNSHINE FOR EVERY ROOM IN HOUSE Our neighboring county seat town of London has something that few towns can boast off, sun­ light for every room in the house; The town was laid out by Pat­ rick McLean in 1811 on 103 acres of land purchased at $4 an acre.
