FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1929 COLLEGE ENDOWMENT INCREASE IS NECESSARY The movement to increase the endowment of Cedarville College is necessary and also a very worthy step to give the Institution the standing it must have to meet North Central Association requirements. It makes no difference what our Individual views may be regarding such a regulation it exists for our high schools and colleges. You can take it or leave it alone but your son or daughter in school, is the one to suffer unless the rule is compiled with, We are on the unward movement In all things today and colleges are included. Each day requires something new and different, The. old standard of “Let well enough alone” is as near out of place as a pair of oxen and cart. Cedarville wants to keep pace with other colleges and our town wants to be in a rank we can be proud of. • From the community standpoint Cedarville College has been our greatest asset. This might be said of the county as .well without reflection on other worthy institutions. From ag, economic standpoint it has brough in more money to the com­ munity than it has sent out. The lai*ger the institution grows the greater will be the income ip dollars and cents to the com­ munity. The college has been a saving institution for hundreds of families in the county the past thirty or more years. Boys and girls by the hundred have received educational training for high stations in life at .a great financial saving over what it would have cost to send them to some distant school. Hundreds have attended school here where if they were compelled to go elsewhere their financial income would have made it impossible to acquire an education. From time to time you will hear something in regard to the campaign for the increase of the college endowment.. A movement is being put under way.and the community and the county owe a receptive attitude towards this forward step. You are not making a particular gift or a donation in aiding an_.edu- cational institution but an investment in an educational plant for the benefit of the coming generations. \The backbone of any nation is an educated’people.

A BIG FOOD COMBINE FORMING These are truly the days of .big combines and the situation is just the reverse of what it was in the days of the Sherman anti-trust law, a law that is now a dead letter. In those days a big combine was a political issue but today the public looks with favor on something big, in fact the bigger the better. A Wall Street banking house was just taken over one of the largest coffee concerns in the world. In addition the lead­ ing baking powder concern has been added to a large company that manufacturers yeast. It so happens that this banking house- has the credit of controlling the largest line of chain grocery stores in the World, having near 13,000 retail outlets in this country. N Whether such gigantic concerns are the best thing for the country only a trial will tell.. It is true there is the opportunity of large economic savings in that one salesman can sell the vari­ ous lines while in the past a. man was required for each line. The interesting’thing about such a combination is what„ kind of- a price will the independent grocer have to pay for this coffee, baking powder and yeast in comparison with the price the chain company will.get? How long can the independent grocer hold out in the face of such a situation? ’ ■Some years ago the big packer^ were enjonied from hand­ ling canned good on the same plan now adopted in the new combination, The packers even had to give up control of stock yards. Today we find farm organizations backing the big packers to get this order modified so that the packers can open numerous retail meat stores over the country: It is contended the manner in which chain stores companies are handling meats that' the farmer’s market has been ruined for first grade meats. To meet the chain store competition and give the packers op­ portunity of retailing a higher grade of meat at a lower price than is necessary now is the plan of the farm leaders. “HOKE*’ CERTAINLY GETS A GOOD LAUGH The congressional situation in this district at present evi­ dently is more than amusing to the Hon. “Hoke” Smith, one of Xenia’s outstanding civic leaders. The two candidates already- announced are the incumbent, Cong. Charles Brand and former State Senator (?) L. T, Mar­ shall. Both have been political buddies in the past and played ihto each other’s hands. Now they are traveling about punch­ ing pin -holes in each other’s balloons. This no doubt is as amus­ ing to “Hoke” as many others who have witnessed past per­ formances of the pair. ' {The big kick that “Hoke” certainly gets and the one that brings a full smile that shows it is’deep seated is the fact that both are angling for the Hoover support. In as much as Frank L. was chairman of the Hoover pre-primary Campaign in this .county it was his mission to combat the combined efforts of *Brand and Marshall, along with the bob-tail politicians in the Klan, as.a wet sympathizer and pro-British and to loyalty of the .Catholic church. Thus far in the Campaign Charley is not hooking his cam­ paign in anyway with the Hoover administration. His desire is a line-up of the original Hoover followers. His big grand stand play is federal aid for public schools. A year ago it was farm relief. Previous to that it was cheap insurance, dusty gravel roads and any clap-trap that could be passed off on the public. The former State Senator (?) now wants farm.relief and is playing the public as usual by trying to ride in on Hoover sup­ port. ^If the public cannot see the amusing side of this situation one “Hoke” Smith has his cheerful moments when the subject is mentioned. 1 Do you want to get t r ahead financially, if so spend less than you -to*” earn, and deposit some- % thing each week to your savings account in this bank. . ' The Exchange Bank Discuss Plans For Local Golf Course A number of local golf fans held an informal meeting in the mayor's office Wednesday evening to discuss the advisability of promoting/ a golf course here. Discussion covered the kind of & course desired, the advisa­ bility of undertaking such a move­ ment and finances. No definite action was taken until the proposition can be further investigated. ’ LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor:—■ Once again permit me to use a part of the space in your paper relative to the proposed tax- amendment to be voted upon next month. The organization backing this amendment evidently has thousands of dollars at its - command to pay speakers and expenses necessary. The opposition is more or less organ­ ized but with no effective working force manned by high priced man­ agers and speakers. Here id where the home and the farm owner is a t a disadvantage. While we are not or­ ganized we can go to the.polls on election day with every vote on our farms and in every home and help down this amendment tha t if ap­ proved will benefit no one wit the financial interests. During the last campaign against 'the classification p iln one of our prominent farm leaders who then was opposing classification, boldly claimed that he had been offered $20,- 000 to support it. In as much a& this same farm leader is now traveling the state favoring classification the farm owners can judge for themselves what might .be the incentive for this farm leader to change hiB mind. It might at least be inferred that the anti has been raised for this campaign. ( Supporters of the amendnibnt are using Kentucky as a sample state for classification but they always refer to some state official or si representa­ tive of some financial jnstitutioii. The plain facts are that cl&SQificption was forced on the rural interests of that state and they are now paying fifty cents per hundred tax on live stoOk, thirty cents on farm land whilo bank deposits are taxed ten cents a hun­ dred. This should be convincing that our highly paid farm leaders in Ohio are double-crossing the farmers that are paying the salaries. „ Farm land is now a t a low value but what inducement can there be for a man to invest in a farm when he can have his money taxed at ten cents a hundred and farms and town lots a t thirty cents. A fanner’s live stock cannot be hid yet in Kentucky it is taxed fifty cents a hundred. These are some of the comparisons the farm bureau and grange leaders- do not tell the farmers from the platform, The same forces that are seeking low rates on money, mortgages, loans credits, etc., now are the people that will dominate the comink legislature to pass enabling legislation. Farm and home owners should also keep in mind that once you approve the amendment any legislation passed by the legislature will not be subject to a referendum. You*sell your birth-right for protection the minute you place you X voting yes on the amendment, I for one favor sdme changes in our taxing system but I first want to know what I am to get.' This should be no David Harum horse trade. All the city people are nof-going to vote favorable on the amendment. Home owners are going to think in as much as town and city property is now valued high. They the people that Must pay all bond jpailes for city im­ provements. Tlje fellow with money, bonds, credits, £tc,, will be virtually exempt. Extra tax issues fall on homes and farms. Think before you vote on this issue and’your decision will be againpt classification. Independent Farmer. Every county should now and again take stock of its resources. And among the resources should be con­ sidered the potential market for com­ modities which the county is not pro­ ducing.

S, Greenleaf, 3IG Boulevard, Marion, Ohio. "Food would not digest as it should. After every meal gas formed, causing great pain, especially around the heart, and this worried me, 1 lost in weight and strength, and I became greatly discouraged over my condition and had about, given up hope of ever seeing another well day, •' "Then a friend recommended Kon- jolrf to me and insisted that I give It a chance to prove its merit. , Four bottles of this medicine ended the stom'aeh trouble. I ean eat anything I wAnt and the food digests perfectly. Gas, and sour stomach has been elim­ inated and I api feeling fine.
