FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1931 - BOY SCOOT WEEK BEING OBSERVED 1 The twenty-first anniversary o f the Boy Scout movement in America is being observed over the nation this week. This is one o f the most important organizations beneficial to our youth that exists today. “ Do a good turn every day." In it can be found a wide field for lectures, sermons and from it can be found the teachings of the “ Golden Rule." Boys in the Scout movement have the advantage of learning a wonderful lesson. It teaches how to protect health and the importance of clean lives and dealing fairly and honestly with one another. The organization has reached its majority but the work has not be^n completed and will go on with the years. It is a noble moyement that carries with it the inspiration of the great-out- of-doors. MORE SUBSTITUTES FOR BUTTER Efforts are being made to change the present laws relative to substitutes for butter so that combinations of oils or fats can be manufactured and sold to take the place of dairy butter. The farmer’s market for milk and cream is now at a point where there is little or no profit but to open the gates for sub­ stitutes would be driving the price of butter fat lower. Dairy butter for some years has had a strong competitor in oleo and merchants report they cash many cream checks where the farmer’s wife sells the cream and buys oleo because it might be. a few cents under the price of butter. This is but lowering the price on all milk or cream in the farmer’s market yet the wife probably thinks~she_is savings-monejrhy-such a transaction. With new substitutes and a few farmers using oleo there is not much chance for better prices on milk and cream. * ST. VALENTINE’S DAY HERE Saturday is St. Valentine’s Day and the mails will carry millions o f those charming messages in honor of this event. It is an age old custom that still clings to many people but in dulged in more by the younger set. We find not only the costly valentine but the comic as well that serves in the way of a practical joke. The origin of St. Valentine Day is said to date back to 278 A. D. when Valentine was a humble bishop of Rome; who achieved sainthood on February 14th by being beaten to death During the days o f Roman paganism youths drew the names of maidens on this date and they were to become sweethearts Under Christian rule the date remained the same but youths and maidens drew the name of a saint to be the special object of worship for the year. Later the names of women were sub; stituted for saints and love missives became the vogue which has continued through the years. THE COTTON STOCKING According to the dictates of fashion the cotton stocking is going to return after an absence of several years, We ure told it will not be the dull finished product of years gone by but will have a luster similar to silk. This may or may not be good news to women who have been sold on some form o f silk As for the men one would hardly ex­ pect a verdict from them as to choice, yet their interest since the days of abreviated dresses might be under estimated. Modern invention is to give us a cotton stocking that will not run and will be fashioned with French heel and slim ankle. GARDEN MAKING It will not be many weeks before .ve observe March 17, St. Patrick’s Day and the day the first garden hould be ■made. It is the set day for planting sweet peas to insure plenty of bloom during the summer. Every­ one should have a garden for vege­ tables or at least a-small flower gar­ den with some shrubbery. Now is the time to prepare for spring and plans should be underway. Gardens afford outdoor work which is healthful to all. They can be made profitable and aid n reducing the cost of. living. LAW SHOULD BE PASSED Of all the bills introduced in the legislature there is one or probably two that concern motorists. It is pro­ posed to protect motorists by reniov ng the personal liability when a motorist'is accompanied-by a friend and meets with a motor car accident. Should a motorist pick up a friend or accomodate him with a ride there is no reason why he should be financial ly responsible in case of accident. Such a law should have been passed years ago. IMPORTANCE OF LOYALTY- Loyalty has been the theme of poets and fictionists. for years. It is a priceless human trait, sometimes demonstrated^, more forcibly by dumb animals. Few people appreciate the value of loyalty in living a well rounded life;1 Loyalty to home, job and country are essential if a man is a good citizen. Without this attribute, he has few reaMriends and is traitor to himself. • It goes without shying that community loyalty is of equal importance with loyalty to country though it does not call for the same type 6f sacrifice that is sometimes demanded of those who are loyal to their native or adopted land. But loyalty to community does call for some sacrifice. It demands that we remain true to the place where, we live even in the face of adverse criticism., Loyalty for home means support o f home projects and all institutions which belong tp our community. It means standing by them even though it costs something. And a community that is worth living in deserves the loyalty of every citizen. *• t ’ . 4 \ v .. - ' — --------------- LIFE OF WONDERFUL CHARACTER CLOSES Not only Cincinnati but the entire state lost a noble char­ acter in the death o f Mrs. Charles P. Taft, who has held con­ trolling interest in the Cincinnati Times-Star since the death of her noted husband about a year ago. Few women there are that have jointly enjoyed the distinction of leadership not only in social circles but in the business World. Mrs. Tail, the daughter of David Sinton, a wealthy Cincinnatian, was very closely associated with her husband ^in all business matters. She was noted for her many benefactions in her city, especially in promoting the cause of the Cincinnati orchestra, Art Institute and the Zoo. She and her husband gave several million dollars to these causes and left a million to endow, their home, the gift to the city, that some two or three million in art treasurers could be preserved and kept open to the public. Wealth is a wonderful thing in a democratic country especially when those in control of it, find pleasure when nearing the end of life’s journey in returning much of it to the community from whence it came. * B A B Y C H I C K S Custom Hatching Reduced to 3c per Egg Thoroughbred Baby Chicks that produce large pro­ fits for their owners.

Some towns vith municipal systems also face a shortage problem, notably Osborn and •'airfield. The latter has just recently been compelled to seek additional sup ply by a new well. In as much r,t neither town has modern sewerage systems - there is great danger of disease from cobs pools. Cedarville Sas taken the most advanced step of any municipality in the county having a modem sewerage system and an excellent supply of water that so far has not been affected by dry weather In addition it is the only town in this section of the state that has a muni ■ipal water softener. Those who lay in a supply of the genuine maple syrup each year in this icction of the state may have trouble lading syrup of quality as compared to former years. Those who follow .he syrup business say very few trees ire yielding any sugar water. The reason is of course the drouth and lad >f freezing weather A few trees in ,’ow places where .here has been iioisture are bearing some juice. This will give the corn syrup manufactur­ ers an opportunity o f coloring and -blending-their—pmluct-to-H»ttato-4he- real syrup. People’s tastes differ always but we often wonder just what real genuine maple syrup would taste like to one who always had used a com syrtip substitute labeled maple syrup. The Columbus Automobile Show opened last Saturday and a unique event in connection with the opening was Governor White driving a 1903 Franklin from the State House to the Columbus Auditorium on its own- power. This antique vehicle was look­ ed upon by thousands as a real curios ity in comparison with the modem automobile. It had the brass lamps, almost perpendicular steering wheel with horn attached. It was a model of the days before top3 and went chugging down the street just like it did back, in 1903. The gasoline buggy was t<venty-eight years old and lm*1 the appearance of being well pre­ served, When airplanes become in general use in the days of our grand­ children, both the 1903 and 1931 model automobiles will be relics of the past. By Arthur Brisbane Mr. Young on Banka Gandhi’s Sky Writing A Wise Garman- Dogs, Beef, Perk Extremely, important to American business, especially to the little man who would like to know that his sav­ ings are safe and not used by graft­ ers in their speculations, is a sugges­ tion by Owen D, Young. He would establish government control o f com- nercial banks for their regulation and he public’s protection. - Mr. Young points out that this coun- ,ry has had 6,000 bank failures in the past ten years. He did not Bay so, but everybody knows that dishonesty is back of many such failures. Mr. Yofing says truly: •‘ft is a great reflection on the Ameri­ can people that they cannot get a banking system which will prevent such tragedies as we have witnessed.” CHICK HATCHRRY IMPROVES PLANT Gandhi tells 100,000 listeners that victory for his "holy crusade” to free India is “written in the skies if we follow the path of truth and non-vio lence." Few victories have been won by ion violence, in fact, no nation ever von freedom except by fighting for it. • In the opinion o f at least 200,000,009 ’ lindus, a successful “ holy crusade" would include the right to restore child marriage without restriction, the ’rarning of widows, and a system of •everence for animal life, cows espe -ially, that allows the miserable ani­ mats, when they get old, to die of hunger because no one has the right to kill them. The Xenia Chick Hatcliery, Inc., of Xenia, has just installed a battery of r.ew ell electric Bundy Incubators with separate hatching compartments. Each machine holds 28,000 eggs. This new, modern equipment will hatch better chicks, it ja said, and allows this company to make their broad guarantee. They guarantee their chicks to live, all of them under a two weeks written guarantee. The5first two weeks is the danger period, Many farmers in and around here are placing their orders for chicks, now as well as custom hatching. Leland Cramer, general manager, states that visitors are welcome to visit the plant to see these mammoth incubators and learn the modern way chicks hfe hatched. One hundred thousand chicks can be produced every three weeks. The Xenia Ghick Hatchery^ brings thousands of dollars of eastern' money to Greene county farmers each year, and the farmers of this county] should consider this hatchery as Greene county’s own and pay it a visit. Seventy percent, o f all chicks hatched here are shipped east, but the hatching eggs are all bought in this county. Germany possesses an appallingly wise person named Dr. George Joos, professor of theoretical physics at Jena. ; The wave length o f a ray of light is from oae. twenty-five’ thousandth tc one fifty thousandth of an inch in length. The marvelous Joos can meas­ ure the one thousandth part of that. This enable# him to prove that there is no “ ether drift" and that the speed of light is absolute. In some mysterious way, Doctor Toos confirms i ’Einstein's theories. Sometimes you are sorry you cannot mderstand all that, and sometime? ' ou thank heaven for your ignorance. Mohammedans; are fighting llindur in India, as usual, Mohammedan? cooked some beef, which horrified Hin­ dus, by whom the cow and all its re­ lations are held sacred. War started, « village was burned and a ’Eikh officer in the British serv­ ice was burned alive. Then Mohammedans threw the beef into Hindu temples. The Hindus, for revenge, threw dead dogs Into the Mo­ hammedan mosques, greatest insult you can offer a Mohammedan. Hindus won’t eat beef. Mohumme- Ians won’t cat pork, Englishmen eat both and rule Mohammedans and Hin­ dus. “Joe the Baker," known to his moth­ er and early friends as Joseph Cata­ nia, is dead. With his mouth shut "ight, refusing to tell who shot him he struggled against a flock of ma- •hine gun bullets and succumbed, otirn ‘nated because ho interfered with boot­ legging in the territory of "Dutch” Schultz, the “Bronx beer barort." Thus far not one of many gangsters dtot down has told police who killed aim, although a majority of them knew. Perhaps they thought they would not die. . * "Joe the Baker" was one of the New York gangsters that had the honor of entertaining a distinguished New York judge at a welcome home dinner, CAN BE CURED ’ HEMORRHOIDS (OR PILES) WITHOUT USE OF KNIFE WITHOUT LOSS OF TIME A successful treatment far internal and protruding piles.

When the big bridge over the Hud son is completed New York city will have its fii st above-ground connection with the rest of the American conti­ nent, and New York newspapers can­ not agree on a name for the bridge. “Washington Memorial bridge," is the official name thus far. Mr, Mason of the Post wants to call it “Palisades bridge” and Mr. Patter­ son, who has a newspaper, wants to call it the “Hudson bridge.” A wise compromise might call it the “Edison bridge.” Edison brought light across the Hudson, from New Jersey to Man­ hattan, and spread it all over the world. This writer back in the night of time saw him putting lights in “ Harry Hill’s,” where John L. Sullivan fought. It would please a good many Ameri­ cans to honor Edison, the greatest man this country has developed since Lincoln, and, to do it while he is alive to know about it. Stalin of Russia, who ought to know, does Hot agree with American finan­ ciers who jwedict disAuft^us idCgilnie for Russia’s “ five-year plan." He says the plan will be completed certainly inside of four years, perhaps in three, NOTICE OF,APPOINTMENT Estate of William A. Robinson, De­ ceased.
