THE CEDARV I LLE HERALD X A B L H BULL ED ITOR A N D PUBLISHER ' I Post Offic*, Cedarville, Ohio, October 31, 1887, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1928 M A IN T A IN O UR PROTECT ION A s the continual argument over the advantage and dis­ advantage o f the protective tariff are threshed out it becomes increasingly apparent that the principles of Free Trade are not practical, and would be ruinous to a large part o f our population. Our sugar producers, for example, muBt compete with pro­ duction in the Philippines and Cuba where work is done by a poorly paid working class. Our farmers are in direct competi­ tion with European and other foreign producers where agri­ culture costs are immeasurably lower than ours. Our industrial workers must meet the commodities produced in nations where industrial work means long hours, low pay, poor living condi­ tions, and inferior working conditions. Obviously,- the chief protection we have against lowering our standards of pay and hours to meet foreign practices is the tariff. r ' ' • ELECTR IC A D V A N T A G E S O N TH E FARM W e were interested in a statement the other day by Man­ ager Heathman o f the local branch of the Payton Power & Light Go,, that his company was now building numerous lines over the country for distribution of electricity in. farm homes, .Moreover he says they have many requests for this service. This is an indication that most farmers desire to lift themselves and their families from the drudgery that is evident on every farm that does not have such a service. * With this power available the farmer can have his auto­ matic electric pump for water supply at the barn and in the house. He can grind and mix much of hiafeed that must be purchased otherwise without it, *He can have lights where he pleases and herein is one o f the best protections possible against the oridinary farm pilfering at night, particularly in protecting the poultry, s fa the farm home electricity is a necessity and not a luxury. Power for the washing machine,'the iron, the milk separator and. other labor saving devices is the best “ buy” a farmer can make for his w ife .' We have the automobile and good roads and the farmer with the telephone and radio is near par with his city dweller but i f he lack electrification on the farm he is missing much that would contribute to bis own, economic pros­ perity and the welfare of his family.

All the principals are very prominent people and the events leading up to this suit brings to the front the fact that our divorce laws, or our courts, ,are either not in harmony with the public sentiment,, or are very weak. A very wealthy and prominent business man made the bold offer o f one/million dollars to another business man in*that city if he would divorce his wife. - This lead to almost a city wide sensation and the wife of. the man that made the offer, copiing from a highly respected family, could not withstand the humi­ liation and as a result was granted a cjivorce just a few days agOv . ' \ ....• 'r’* 1 . The weakness o f the"divorce law is that the fellow that Wanted to purchase another plan's wi|| by the divorce route is now frep* and can legally marry whom he pleases, whether he succeeds iri, separating the second couple or not. 'It should not released from her husband but he should not be permitted to marry anyone. TH E PROBLEM O F T A X P A Y IN G A N D SPEND ING I f we must maintain government, federal, state or local, we must expect a reasonable amount of money being collected fo r that purpose. Taxation is a,necessity but the taxpayer should have something to say about it and not some autocratic state board located in some distant city of the state. It is not altogether the amount o f our taxes that we should consider but whether this tax money is wisely spent and for purposes that will benefit the greatest number of citizens in the . district from which it is collected. Locally Cedarville has been fortunate in recent years in having a very reasonable tax rate irrespective' of some very im­ portant improvements that have proven beneficial to the prop­ erty owners and the public in general. Money that has gone into our paved streets, the new school building, and fire equip­ ment has been wisely spent. . We never hear complaint about such expenditures now that these modem conveniences are in daily use. * When we compare the tax rate for Cedarville for the com­ ing year with that of some of our neighboring towns which are higher, We feel proud of the record of our local township and school officials. For this coming year there is to be no increase locally. ’ Tn view of the fact that the paved street is nearly all paid for wd now look forward to another improvement without having back debts to stare us in the face. Every town of this size should have a Waterworks system. It is necessary for many reasons and once installed and in use the public would wonder how we got along without it. At this present time many cisterns are dry and water low in most wells. With waterworks these things do not happen. Tax money’for waterworks would be a good investment for the town. With electric lights, good sidewalks, paved streets, modem schools and a college, this town to keep up with the prosperity and progress o f our neighbors must seriously con­ sider a system of waterworks. The question should be discussed by our citizens in the home and in public places. It is the duty o f each to inform himself on this subject before making a de­ cision. Our officials have in the past handled the business of the village in a commendable manner and we hav,e had value received by their diligence in serving the public as they would themselves, We cannot have progress without this investment. We will riot be content to stand still for had our citizens in the past taken that attitude we would new be using coal oil street lights in place of electric lights. We know that individually every one can save some money by having waterworks and that is in en­ joying a lower rate for fire insurance. A water system has roven profitable in other towns o f this size and it would be ere if once installed.

The liberal1 ty of these Macedonian churches exhibits practically every grand principle and motive which en- ter- into the giving which has God’s sanction. Observe; 1. The. source of true giving (v, 1). ..Tfite is said to bo the grace.of God, by which Is meant that the disposition ' to give freely o f our means la a dis­ position created by the Holy Spirit. This puts the Christian giving on a much higher plane than that which brings the people under the bondage of the law to give a. tenth. 2. They gave from the depths of their poverty; not from the abundance of their riches (v. 21, Their limited means did not cause them to restrict their gifts, but their deep poverty abounded unto the “riches' o f their liberality." On the basis of this piiflosophy our poverty ought to he S cdU for greater gen­ erosity, for God has promised that if we give liberally He will give liberal­ l y In return. ■" 8. Their willingness surpassed their ability (V* 3), , God’s •gifts are reckoned by the degree o f willingness, not by the amount given (H Cor. 8:12; 9:7). If such grace were to come upon flue churches today, - there would be an abundance of funds to carry on the Lord’s work. * 4, They were insistent on being al­ lowed the privilege o f giving (v- 4). They did not need to be pressed into giving. How far we have de- ‘ parted frra the apostolic method. To­ day we employ the shrewdest men in 'financial affairs that.can he’ found to make appeals at our missionary meet­ ings , and the dedication o f our •churches. 6. They first gave tbemseiYgg to the Lord (v, 6). ■ • • This Is most, fundamental to tight giving, for When one gives himself to theLord there Is no reason for witin holding his gifts. If one does not give himself to the Lord there will be the desire to retain ns much for self ns can be done within the bounds! of re­ spectability, The only right method o f raising money for the Lord Is first to induce men and women -to give their lives to the Lord and then to give o f their possessions. i). Emulation of Macedonian Be- ncvolenco Urged (11 Cor,'8:6-15). Moved b y . the generosity of the Macedonian '.churches, Paul desired Titus to commend to the Corlhthlans the same grace.. Tide grace he urged upon them, giving, ” 1 L Not as a command. (v. 8). It must be spontaneous—liberal,. 2. As a proof of the sincerity of their love (v. 8). Loye ls more than mere sentiment; It Is benevolent ac­ tion toward the object loved. 8. As the completion and* harmony of Christian character tv. 7). The Corinthian church abounded in spiritual gifts such ns faith, utter- ance, knowledge, diligence, and In love for their ministers. But the grace of liberality was. needful for the harmony of their lives. 4. Tlie seif-sscrlflclng example of Christ (v. 9), Self-sacrifice is the test of love 5. Because the true principles upon which gifts are acceptable wltb God is a 'willing mind (vv. 10-12), God does h6t estimate the value of a gift on the ground o f its intrinsic worth, but the Underlying motive o f the giver. 6. Because of a common equality (vv. 18-15), Every Christian should give something. The law governing the gift is ability, 111. Encouragement to Give (H Cor, 0:0, 7). 1. Tlie volume of reaping is based upon the sowing (v. 6). •Those who sow sparingly cannot expect to reap bountifully, 2. There atyuld be a heart purpose {t. 7), This calls for Intelligence as to the object of giving. 8, Giving should not be of necessity (v. 7). No particular value accrues to the giver who gives through pressure,. 4, God loves a cheerful giver (v, 7). The one who has the right under* standing of hts responsibility toward God with reference to temporal pos­ sessions will regard giving as a glori­ ous privilege, - *\ ’ 4 L Afte? feoUege, Hoover studied the praotlca! side of mining with pick and shovel ia Nevada. g, Promoted to be a field engineer, he made good at a variety o f Jobs la the sage brush.
