DROUTH MAY BE DRY BUT DEPRESSIONWET The movement seems to be under way for a prohibition re­ peal referendum in Ohio within the next year. An organiza­ tion hag been formed and state authorities have given endorse­ ment to the wording of the petition as required by law. If the plan is sueeeaful «li enforcement measures against the liquor traffic would be repealed also. This means the dryain Ohio will be put to a teat. With such men as Spjqiator AcfcermzmfClope- land, and SenaAgL&pbert Taft heading the pedHsbb movement ... .... soeured. v ' It is almwTflW^dn ffS t one of the first bills to be introduc­ ed in the next coatgresa will be for modification of the Volstead act. There are indications thatieaders of hoth of the political parties will come more to the front on this issue, this time than any time since the prohibition act was pasesd. Powerful financial interests will be on the firing line and there are hints now that business conditions will never improve until there is a change in the prohibition, status. Wall street has millions ready to loan European countries at rates of interest much lower than money can be had at home. Some take this a$ a move to drain the country of money making it impossible for business revival here. In addition those that favor modification count much on a change of sentiment due to the depression and it may have strong appeal in the cities. At best supporters of prohibition Will bo doubt hpve to face strong opposition to hold the ground already gained. It will not be forgotten that politicians lined up for prohibition when it was on the up grade and destined to win but once the politician possible now for tax paid, under the ^aees.a;turu irLsentiment^fieiajust aaquick-totge-in the opposite^j-eid 4 aw-~lfpowwant,to_aeiLcigarett 8 direction. Prohibition was put over with the aid of politicians but whether it can be held without their aid is something else. THERE ARE BUT TWQ POPULAR TOPICS In the public mind today there are but two topics of great interest, abroad it is the success, of the settlement of European conditions with the hope of aiding business, and the other is a domestic problem of what to do with the price of wheat and is the price to be increased. It will be noticed that our leading statesmen are exercising much caution when discussing the European problem. There is nothing definitely promised as to success. The most plausible answer given to questions is that “we hope for the best." The situation is different today than anytime in past history and our statesmen are not inclined to radical promises or guarantees of any kind. How far shall we go in extending aid to other na- - tions when economic conditions at home are distressing? This naturally enters in the settlement of foreign affairs. As to wheat it looks like everybody has it and for that rea­ son no one wants to buy. President Hoover's criticism of those in the market selling short has had no good effect as yet. If any thing it has enraged the speculators. Even the Wall Street Journal takes issue with the President’s views. The Federal Farm Board still refused to withhold some 200,000,000 million bushels of the 1930 wheat crop and this is holding back the price. The Board is selling each month against the demands of Vice President Curtis and Senator Capper. The ' outcome cannot be predicted.' Probably the sooner the Farm Board sells all the wheat and cotton and leaves for home the sooner every tub will sit on its own bottom. No one seems to know how or'where we stand under the Farm Board, plan of socialistic,price fixing, or attempting to do so. NECESSARY TC PROVIDE FOR WINTER Thirtyyears ago it was the fashion and proud was the fam­ ily that had laid in store during the summer the winter supply pf coal) Wood, flour, canned goods, meats and clothing. Of re­ cent years this old custom has gone out of date for most families and before we knew it we were on a daily ration basis. It is not out o fplace for us1 to urge the canning of fruits for winter use. We have had a large crop of cherries and straw­ berries and have promises of plenty of peaches, apples and pears. There is a big crop of blackberries and families that desire that kind of fruit should have a good supply for winter use. Later on there will be the fall vegetables than can be put in winter storage. If you do not raise them you can purchase them eat 1/ at quite a saving; This suggestion is not needed for some but there are families no doubt that can profit by it. The /well-to-do families always look out.for things of this kind and this is perhaps one reason why they are well-to-do. It isalmost certain that public funds and charity donations will not come forth as easily and quickly this winter as last. We all know conditions are not what they were even last winter. Families that had help in the past should make the best of the season and provide for the coming winter. Every family can help itself in some way and this is the season now to do it. ■’ I 'e 'i 'i u - u 1* ! 1"..1 .

One state has reduced the length ' of commercial trucks that can he licen­ sed, Many others like Ohio have made Changes in license fees but it remains for Michigan to„pass the most inter­ esting law, which will a lte r 1982 re­ quire the use of safety glass in all automobiles made and sold in th a t stat^. Several of the higher'Jnecif cars are now Using this kind of "glass that will not. shatter while one or two are useing it for windshields. There is no doubt but that safety glass gives the driver and occupants more pro­ tection than the regular glass used in years past. One of the new features of the ci garette tax law that goes into effect in September is that no dealer will be able to get a refund during the year as has. been possible. The new law repealed the old law and this section repealed the past law and became ef­ fective Sept. 9th so. that no refund is After this eoming January there is in be no more liquor eases tried in the Probet* Courts In Ohio. This will not be s*d news to Probate Judges. When Probes* Judge S. q.

An important celebration is to take place July 31 on South Bass Island in Lake, Erie, near Port Clinton.

Of course h e found many Greene county people oh .he west coast. A note, o f particular interest to local people -will be news of the death of Mr. Henry Leary in Los Angeles some time ago. But one member of the family, Miss Susie, re­ mains and she resides in Los Ahgfsles The • Leary family left Cedarville many years ago and.settled in San i-rancisco where they resided until af­ ter the earthquake, moving to Los Angeles. Mr. Torrence tells of many interesting sights in Alaska. One is ol the appearance of a new moon. There he says the new moon looked as if it was about the heighth of the average man and only about a foot wide. He reports business Conditions on the west coast about the same as in this country. A t Vancouver, Canada, he had opportunity of gaining some ex­ pression of the Canadian people on the business relations between that country and this. The ‘best of feeling does not exist and Canadians say cheir high tariff Tates which has shut out most American made goods was necessary to protect their own inter­ ests. I.

I t must yet have its place in American business be tween the different interests or the country must depend on .competition from foreign made goods, irrespective of the tariff. Just at present business interests are much concerned because the. Ohio Farm Bureau purchased its binder twine in Canada during a- time when American labor was ..unemploy­ ed. I t was also out of place for the reason the American farmer not only needs the aid of all other business in­ terests to help save it from foreign conditions, but it must a t least-have the moral spuuort. It has also been charged that much, Mexican binder twine has been shipped Into the coun­ try and sold a t what was regarded a lower price, This twine- is prison jqade, It b*s not the number of feet of twine nor the weight of the Ameri­ can made ball of binder twine. Thus you have the reason why i t can be eold for what looks.on the face like * lower pricei In addition the Mexican twine must carry a tariff duty. One more reason why there must be infer­ ior raw material, lighter weight and not the same amount of yardage. A* gain Greene county is interested in the twine manufacture for it has one of the largest plants in the United States and ships Us product into all I of the large wheat growing states by \ the car load.

A new bread law goes into effect iuly 30, when it will be le g a lto sell stale bread, The former law made it .llegal to eel) or exchange stale bread but of recent months it has been mat­ ed that stale bread has been exchang- ad by out of town'bread truck drivers, rhe drivers o f the trucks can take up old bread in one town and if posible unload; it' on the merchant in the next without violating the law. Most all shipped in bread is 12 to 18-hours old before it. undelivered,in th#-rural, sec­ tions. Repeal of the old law will make. It easier to unload the old un­ sold city bread on the rural sections. Now yon can buy a flour mill out­ fit and make your own flour.

The ties were of poor quality and cheaply made and not worth the fifty cents asked. There are worthy people in the canvassing game but most of them have an inferior line of merchandise. You never find standard goods being peddled from door to door. There is no guarantee and no one responsible as would be the case if goods were purchased from reliable dealers who expect to remain to business.
