Thontuu, prominent Chi- Mg© man. Ifc If worth comdderation. “ Worry i* an unhealthy eondition of normal^mind and is a direct manifestation of fear. Probably one of the richest gifts with which we are endowed is the power of imagination. Yet imagination is a moat prolific source of fear. ■ . “The chronic worrier usually has an over-actfce imagina­ tion—amimagination out of control. Our specific worries may be slightly different, but in the main they have the same basic charastenstles. ■•>■. Xlisten to the troubles of others and they seem to be largely imaginary end trivial. Then I think of my own and I realize that my troubles can be correctly classified about the same way. . We do not rid ourselves of work by evading our responsi­ bilities, nor by crawling out from under our normal load. The firststep away from worry is to Courageously and honestly face our problems and to segregate the real from the imaginary. As the prospector must learn to distinguish between gold and “ fool's gold” homust we learn to distinguish between real prob­ lems and worries. . “ Thus we take stock o f our so-called “ troubles” and see how many we can discard, first in this list should come' wor­ ries in anticipation of events possible to happen and which usu­ ally .do^fiot. The remainder canj>e classified in the order of their importance and eliminated as fast as possible. . “ There is a message for us in the.parting words of advice of the aged father to his son, “ I have had a great deal of trouble in ray life—a great deal of trouble—but most,of it never hap­ pened.” ' Irrespective of ages most all of us are like that old man. “ In these times the .successful, man has no time to worry. He is too busy thinking and working out constructive ways to solve his problems. He has learned to control his thoughts- Which is the secret of the elimination of worry.” PRESIDENT STANDS BY FARM BOARD POLICY Criticism of President Hoover and his administration are heard almost daily in farm circles but much of it is unjustified according to our analysis of the situation. In the first place the President was opposed to much of the farm relief program but it was forced oh him by Congress. His idea of relief was not that of congressional leadens or -representatives of farm inter­ ests. With legislation passed he can do nothing else than stand by that,program, right or wrong, mostly wrong in all respects. His appointments to,the Federal Farm Board have been in keeping with demands o f farm interests. Just a few days ago a vacancy on the bpard was filled’ by the appointment of Frank Evans, former executive secretary of the American Farm Bu­ reau Federation. He, named Sani Thompson, a- member, and he was at that time president of the f armf ederation. The farm bureau federation has supported the Farm Board and the agri­ cultural marketing act. Now comes the Methodist Boartjof Temperance and Morals with a stinging rebuke against the Farm Board for financing the grape industry that is marketing concentrates for manufac­ ture o f wine Just a few dayskgo'the Farm Board made an­ other loan to one branch o fth e grape induatry amounting to ‘ ter branch is now asking for $900,000. tofhe growers of these crofi. It be no great Increase until most o f the crops are out of the hands o f producers. The attack o f the Method- dist Board brings the farm interests in a new controversy. With .the aid of government finance the grape wine industry contin­ ues to flourish, regardless of the eighteenth amendment. Pres­ ident Hoover i$ standing by the original demands of the farm . interests and he has placed responsibility of acts of this board in the lap of the far mintCrests by appointing farm leaders to "membership. So faj^ there Is nothing that warrants criticism pn the part of the President, but the administration in power is always held accountable by the public. We here the center of population at the United State* and each tea year* it ha* moved steadily westward. Now we bear the telephone center ie near a small church, Wesley cb*] 24 miles west of Lima.

A local citixen hands us n clipping on the wheat situation taken from an other paper. “The Clermont county farmer had harvested his wheat. He had Worked hard for every bushel he had; . had Watched hopefully the sprouting grains had rejoiced at the sight"of theliarvestTwavlngllke'gol­ den banners in the sun. And so he came to the market with his wheat How much for my wheat , , How much for my wheat? How much for my wheat?" “Twenty-six cents a bushel for your wheat," they said. He pondered on this. In o *e bushel pf wheat are 60 pounds. From 60 pounds of wheat about 45 pounds of flour can be. ground. So for 45 potential pound of-flour he could get only 26 cents, with which' he could buy about three loaves of bread. Three loaves of bread for 45 pounds of flour! He laughed bitterly at himself toiling hired to such meager ends,. at this justice, at the strange state of the world, in which many hunger for bread, even tho hi* wheat Was cheap,* Last week on day we met a local farmer walking towards his auto with five loaves of bread. His first re­ mark was “ It takes a truck to haul the wheat to.town- but I' can carry five loaves o f bread, that cost about the prices pf one bushel o f wheat, on ray little finger. Now-if I had a package of rolled oats in the ;other hand it would,represent * bushel o f oats,sell­ ing -now at about Iff’cents* n bushel At market price of oats there was net to exceed two cents worth of grain in the package'that sells for ten cent*, it is likely the carton container cost the nisnufaettirer o f tfej# totted eats moicthsn the farmer receivod-ier the grain and the containers never cost as little as today. £ 1 * ,lo * l to**d f£.:education em talsly notedmr :of., *fe$ont; when I f c S i e d ; » • * ' Department ef Xkhtcatiea to eStabliah thf seeondRght gariof School for a rural eeoaty in Ohio.

From reports at band some wonderful work has been accomplished in that school- towards improving the sight of -cHil drep. In « i moch as the state is to defray all .expense the school board should not he out one cent but by hiv­ ing the school her* it will save the tu­ ition expense o f any or all pupils in this district that must be paid when the children are sent elsewhere. The ?huuto gi*e aid to children with im- parad sight is a worthy one. It can prepare the pupil for future life to be sflf-sustaitdng, otherwise probably a public ward or cared for by small pension as is now being done with the aged that have lost their sight. This pension is paid by each county and is raised by taxation.

I PRIMARY NECESSARY—BUT EXPENSIVE Tuesday waa primary election day, required by laiy but a very expensive pan of our government. The primary is not compulsory except for cities or where cities have commission form of government. In most places the Votes cost from fifty ,-centato a'dollar or more each.' Per capita cost being forced up -by only a small percentage of electors voting. But there is a way the cost of all elections can be reduced. Considering finan­ cial conditions and the tendency for reductions election officials in the ffitles are paid a fee out of proportion to present salaries. The state as a whole, and particularly Greene county, has far more voting precincts than are necessary. For instance there is no more need for two voting precincts in Cedarville and the - same number in the township than there is for three or four to the precinct. One for each precinct is enough. The cost must * .............................. rillage. are respon- the control of the Board of Elections. Our attention was called to the situa­ tion in Xenia, Tuesday, when the city was forced to hold a pri­ mary election and stand the expense of twice as many precincts as were necessary* With schools being forced to reduce cost of operatioii. and terms shortened, it is time someone started a movement to reduce the election expense not only in this but every county in the state. MORE OHIO BUREAUCRATIC NONSENSE The Ohio State Board of Optometry, being1given somereg­ ulatory power by legislation, has taken an advanced step and become bureaucratic as such boards frequently do. It has at­ tempted to usurp the power of a legislature and has even taken court and police powers unto itself. But this board has not yet betn sble to enforce its rules as they have been challenged by tk« Ohio Newspaper Association, and the Ohio Council of Retail its, who have called upon Governor White to oust the board. One ofthe rules recently laid down, which was nothing Mersfaan , t»........................... „ .............. ..... ...... ........ -merf than a bill ike legislature refused to pass, would deny any licensed optomemetrist to advertise the price of glasses. It waa we think within th* power of the hoard to attempt to reg­ ulate members o f the profession that used fraudulent advertis­ ing. Thk would be backed by the publishers, Retail Merchants mlm Better Burines* Bdneae in every city or town. But to dictate priee should hob be made known to the pfitfiic was a stop over ««fe or aane bhdbiees principals,. If this board wine Re point a new precedent is to be estab­ lished that will affect price advertising of any kind. The courts would eventually be egUed Upon to decide and it is safe to pre­ diet what tikeresult would be. The next move would be if such * precedent was eetabhehed to have boards to regulate all kinds of merchandise offered for tale. The public would have no ad­ vance iaformarion aa to cost of merchandise. The problem is now up to Governor White, who has asked the Board for a re- ylytutheribirtes. Unless they discard present rules they must or W e wovld besom* ih r lauifiiftrnteekigfthrnSgom m m M i f H M g M t t iP W mm ^ m t o t o s h The Greene County Fair is over; it is just a few weeks unfit schools open and we have the katydids, which ac­ cording to ancient belief Will bring frost in six weeks. It is said Whan the little insects make two rubs, with their legs together it produces “she did," If'three rubs are made then it* “katydid." The .little insect is gre in,color and has arboreal habits, and is found only in the central and east­ ern parts of the United Sthtes. Many years ago Oliver Wendell Holmes 'Wrote:' ■ 1 love to hear thine earnest voice, Wherever thou art hid, Thou testy little dogmatist,* •Thou pretty katydid! From editorial expression we read the authorities in Washington are go­ ing to hear more and more of the de­ mand:to turn Some of the government owned wheat over to some agency fox .flour to be distributed to the poor anc families of the unemployed. There hi no denial of the fact that unemploy­ ment is greater now than a year ago. Moreover there are few indications that it will improve with the off m ton months at hand. The public was generous last winter and gave liber­ ally towards relief work. Many that contributed' money then are now out of employment.
