R. Wertz o f the Rural Economics Department o f the Ohio State University. Match o f this year 'a t# xym fo.tom im jRsr tit* d rib m m * er o f 6 per cent less than March o f last year. The failure to -increase normally this year is chiefly due to a decrease in the income from meet animals dur ing the month. This year the income, from this Source, instead o f increas ing,. dropped* to an index number o f 76 as compared with 82 in February, This decline in the meat animal in come in March as compared with February is '.caused largely by a de cline in .the number o f hogs sold from Ohio farms. ‘’‘ Approximately 20,000 fewer" hogs were sold In March than in February, while there was no change in their price. ? Dairy products income in March showed its usual increase over that o f February, as result o f an increase 6 f 10 per cent in milk production per cow. Prices o f milk declined 3 cents per 100 pounds, while the price o f butterfat increased. ' The increase in milk production is responsible fo r the fact that income from daily products stood. In March o f this year, 10 per cent above the inoeme in the same month last year.

He seems to have no definite idea along moral lines and consequent ly does not keep within the confines o f correct living. The really good fellow after all, is the one who knows right from wrong at all times and is careful to note the difference. He live3 right and consequently can be trusted. Beware o f the man whom the unthinking public calls a good fellow because nine times out o f ten, he is a good fellow at the expense o f his friends, bis family or his employer. — Springfield Sun GRIP HAS HOLD ON MANY OF OUR PEOPLE The epidemic of grip that has spread over this section of the state is much in evidence in this locality,and has hit old and youngi The attendance in the public schools has been reduced jgreatly the past week. Several col- Farmers and other tax payers have a better opportunity to study govern ment expenses and find methods for reducing burdens this year than at any time during recent years. This* opinion is held by officials o f the Ohio Ffrrm Bureau Federation who are urging farmers o f every taxing dis trict to appoint committees to look into the tax situation. Ohio’s budget law, said to he one o f the best in the Country, has been in operation long enough so that past budgets o f each taxing district are available for study now. Farmers who are complaining o f burdensome taxes can well afford to study these budgets as a guide to expenditures Of tax money the coming year. Under the budget law individual tax payers, or committees representing them, may have a voice in the way their tax money is spent by working with pub lic officials in the preparation o f bud gets for the year. While budgets are not made out un til mid-summer, farm bureau officers in Greene county are being urged to name committees now to start looking over past budgets, In most communi ties, nearly flifi per cent o f the tax money is spent locally, and only care ful budgeting and local economy will materially reduce individual tax bills on rural property, says farm bureau officer*. * Xenia; R.

The victory in the state was fa r more sweeping than the friend* o f the Commerce Secretary had claimed. Returns yesterday indicate- that Hoover will have at least 31 delegate* ifrom this state. The Anti Hoover ticket fo r delegates a t large wnc snowed under. Ohio has 51 vote* in the convention.- I Hoover has faced the hardest cam* * paign ever witnessed in any state and came out with colors flying. Much, credit is' ‘due Ohio’s grand-old-man,- Hon. Theodore Button, even in his advanced age, fo r the noble work he : performed in defending. Hoover m one of the most unusual campaigns in the history of Ohio. Burton can -toe credited with blowing up the machin ery o f what was known as the "Ohio ; Gang” and sending down to defeat politicians that, expected to profit from controlling the state delegation to the National convention. • A prominent Willis hacker stated to the writer in Springfield, Tuesday night while .returns were being re ceived that the Seventh Congressional district had been regarded Hoover territory until ten days ago. The Willis crowd was so certain they had a majority o f the district* won that a rapid fire campaign could.- be staged at any cost to keep the Seventh from going to Hoover. ’ A* our informant stated evidently more would liave been gained'in the end by taking care o f districts that proved surprisingly weak ' as the return* showed.

The unofficial vote in Greene county: .(Continued on last page. out resort to bird book<or guide, per haps we may find the grayish Golden- winged Warbler, and still more likely, the beautiful Parula, Withbluish head, wings and tail and yellowish hack. We must not miss the Blackburnian with black upper-parts and flaming orange throat and its wiry "tsee-wee-tsSe- wee-tsce-wce, see, see, see.” The Canadian Warbler, with bright yellow under-parts and a necklace of jet is here and the sky-blue Caerulean with white below may bo found in the top* of tall trees in, open woodlands. That list here—Whip-poor-will, Kingbird, fclown among birds, the Yellow-breast- Crested Flycatcher, Least Flycatcher, Bobolink, indigo Bunting, Rose-breast ed Grosbeak, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Black-throated Green War bler, Palm Warbler, Northern Yellow- throat, Redstart, Northern Water Thrush, Scarlet TanSger, Solitary Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo, Olivebacked Thrush, and Vecry. Much more than half o f these species stay with us fo r the summer. During tho first ten days o f May wo expect to see at least sixteen more species, A hoarse nasal "pcent” from high overhead announces the arrival o f the Nighthawk, perhaps to nest on the flat gravel roofs o f downtown buildings. The tiny Hummingbird dart9 by and reminds us that it will soon be time to fill the window-boxes. A plaintive “ pee-a-wee* betrays the present >o f demure little Wood Pewee and in the woods its olive cousin, the Acadian Flycatcher is now home again. In open fields look fo r Dick- cissel, a handsome sparrow with mark ings which remind u* o f a Meadow lark, Eleven specie* of .Warbler* are among the arrivals and this mean* real work and puzzled brains for bird students. We may find the rather dull-colored Nashville, with its gray head, olive back and yellow, under- parts, but we are almost sure to see the strikingly marked yellow and black Magnolia Warbler. The Chest nut-sided and the Bay-breasted War blers bear such fitting title* that a good clear view identifies them with* td Chat, has come to mock us from his tangled thicket lair with his loud whistled "quoit, quoit, whew, whew, whew, whew." He is at once the de light and the despair of the bird stu dent who would study him at close range. • The roll o f birds is almost complete. Home time between -May fifth and fifteenth the two Rain-crows come, ‘‘Kuk-kuk-kuk-kuk-kow-kow-kow-kow*’ Cuckoos are here. Like ghosts they slip through the foliage o f the tree*. 8harp eyes will see the white "thumb- spots” on tho under-side of the tall of the Yellow-billed Cuckoo,—the best field mark to separate it from the black-billed species. In low damp woods the Alder Flycatcher appears. It is so like its cousins, the Least and the Acadian, that voice and habitat are more distinctive than is plumage. Two tardy warblers pay a brief visit, The Mourning Warblers, with grayish head, olive back attd yellow under parts shows the blackish’throat and breast which have suggested the name. The Blockpoil Warbler, with jet-black cap and a stripped body which re sembles somewhat the Black-and- white Warbler, completes our migra tion list, With reasonable good fortune w* should have found more than one hundred o f these" common speck* w* have named. Since more than two* thirds of them are here to newt w* will now turn our attention during tba coming month* to the hotting habtte of Home commonOhio birds.
