Thirty-four million young folks eater the grade schools, five million enter high schools and one million enter colleges and universities, No other na­ tion in the world haa such a record. No other nation places as many requirement* on parents and pupils leading to education as does the United States, and probably no nation has as many educated young folks. This brings us to the point of what is this education and we have borrowed the following which we believe fully describes it: . “ I bear the torch that enlightens the world, fires the imag- nation of man, feeds the flame of genius, I give wings to dreams andmight to hand and brain. “ From out the deep shadows of the past I come, wearing the scars of struggle and stripes of toil, hut bearing in triumph the wisdom of all ages, Man, because o f me, holds d6minion over the earth, air and sea; it iafor him I leash the lightening, plumb the deep and shackle the other. “ I am the parent of progress, creator of culture, molder of destiny.. Philosophy, science and art are the works of my hand. I banish ignorance, discouragevice, disarm anarchy. Thus have Xbecome freedom’s citidsl, the arm of democ­ racy, the hope of youth* the pride of adolescense, the,joy of age. Fortunate the nations and.happy the homes that welcome ,me. . , ' “ "The school is my workshop; here I stir ambitions, stimu­ late ideals, forge the keys that open the door to opportunity, am the source o f inspiration; the air of aspiration. I am resist­ ible,power,” Did you observ* th« heavy traffic Saturday, Sunday and Monday? Did it imprew you that we are fa* the midit o f a depression? The week-end traffic over Labor Day i» always very heavy but from indication* thera waa little difference over last year, If all the people that were ridinr over the week-end have employment, things must not be as had as pictured or aa the traveling salesmen la won’t to aay: “ Business is picking up.” OLD REMEDIES STILLHOLDGOOD As we scan the editorial pages we now and then find many suggestions of what is best to do to put business back to normal and give the people the prosperity that has been enjoyed. The ideas expressed and plans suggested are about as far apart as the sunand the moon and will come about giving relief aa quick asi f we were to say the sun and moon were to change places on a certain day.. The depression is here, even a politician will ad­ mit that. For months he told you: "prosperity was just around . the comer.” A good politician makes no rash promises today as to when business conditions will change. Many of the edi- . torial writers of today were not on the fireing line previous to 1900, Ballyhoo and camouflage failed during the spread of ' seven years of the ninety panic. It will not work today. We find a reprinted editorial sent out by the National Editorial As­ sociation: as interesting because it is much in contrast with the views in many publications; - , “ ‘In the stress of these depressed times many folks have almost lost their heads in seeking some method by which we ' pan come back out op the plane of normal times. Freak meth­ ods, isms, panaceas, legislation and ail that sort of thing are *just so much delay, in the path of prosperity. The old reme­ dies still hold”good'and it is not by hitting'on something new but getting back to the old, the sound and fundamental principles upo.’ whichAmerica was founded, that'we are going to workput,our future.. « . "Handiwork, sacrifice, honesty, privation* saving, manage­ ment and the principles o f the Christian religion are the.rules for success which our forefathers used to conquer a wilderness A broker from a neighboring city dropped in on us several days ago and tried to interest a common new* pa­ per publisher to buy some of his choice first-class stocks for invest­ ment as if the publishing business was operating on a 1923 basis, In bin argument he claimed that under ordi­ n a ry circumstances we have 47,000,- 000 people regularly employed in the United States. At .present he sijrs: only she million are unemployed with one million on part time. The, other forty million are drawing the usual weekly or monthly salary and what, the companies he represents has to sell is demanded by the forty mil- lion/ consequently his companies*-will continue to have good business and be in position to pay dividends.. We take from the statements made that if the purchasing power o f six mil- ilon has been so reduced to bring on the depression and all but paralyse business, the other forty million now drawing pay must he holding a tight line on their money. It is,proof that some method must be found to get the six million hack on full spending basis before we reach “normal busi­ ness. ftfPPw wMP. mgsmtof a Mg awMt.

Yon might relate what is being dona from year to year by the various department heads to ini: prove the fair but no department haa grown more than that for cattle, R, D. Williamson gets the credit this year for successfully managing the biggest cattle show that was. ever staged In the world. There ie probably no one man in the country that is personally acquainted with aamany cattle breed: era aa’ Hr, Williamson. The maimer in which he haodUs so many herds to the satisfaction of breeders is regard­ ed a mystery to alt. There were ex­ hibitors from Vermont to California and competition for honors is never as close ip another cattle show as is to be found at the Ohio State fair. tmad tig, .Shi emimet hduet''ap a w .arguesset hetwae m and tagto ahhew* George Watoen, Otovslaad, droppsdj into town several day* ago to tott om | a few of hi# old time frtend* and *e-j gaaintoneoo, Mr. ° ./ttsen is Super*, standout o f Teminals tor the Rail­ way Exgreas Co, and ha* plenty to do as ho has control of offices in.many owns and cities covering several hun­ dred miles o f the New York Central and the Pennsylvania lines.

The Townsley shipment went to a chain grocery company for retail in the Columbus market. ' and lay the foundation for the greatest nation, in the world to­ day. Prosperity brought with it the dreams of short cuts of fame and fortune. America chased the bubble until it burst , and now most of ha are sitting down trying to, think of some short cut or schema te get hack on prosperity’s road again- We need rather to get back sound common sense. • • . The world has changed but the principles upon which civi­ lisation was founded have not changed,' The unequalities un- dec which we are now chafing are the result of our disobeying „ the fundamental principles listed above. Instead of further fooling ourselves by following some of the many who are pro­ posing unsound ideas about the return of prosperity, let’s get .back to the bid remedies. They, will still hold good if we but apply them.” J. C One of the largest trailers for a Southern trucking company was on ;he street here Monday evening; It was twenty-nine feet long and weigh' ad ten thousand potmda empty. This trailer was pulled- by a motor tractor and was loaded with cotton for a rub* her tire company in. Akron. On its return,to Birmingham it will cany a cargo of rubber tires. It had license plates for six states through which it operates and represents an invest­ ment of more than $15,090. The tax such a. truck pays represents a big sum but the damage it does to a high way is fa r more than that of a hun­ dred automobiles. The automobile owners are being taxed to ■provide md maintain a highway for freight purposes. Once Upon a time you have heard the statement that the rural people were taxed to provide jt, high­ way for city joy riders . but that i* not. true today. These big trucking companies are doing business at the expense of the motorist and' in return the motorist is being forced off the road. Many of the trucks are loaded ' so heavy the driver must stay in the middle of the road or take the chance of upsetting. A GOVERNMENT BOND ISSUE OR REDUCTION? The proposal to Issue bonds to the amount of one, billion dollars by the federal government is not meeting any more favor than the proposal for increased taxes such as income, a tax on tobacco products/additional tax on gasoline, .or any of the other proposals. Government income is shrinking like that Of the farmer that found no. profit on thirty cent wheat. The deficit now is near a billion dollars and official Washington is’ looking on the situation as serious.' The cry of federal and state officials has been that local governments like cities, Villages, townships and boards of edu­ cation should make drastic cuts. However states and the fed­ eral government keep on spending and finding new places to spend to "stimulate prosperity." Ohio fell in line when the leg­ islature cut budget requests. A former administration had left the state almost bankrupt. The federal government has not moved in the economy direction... Millions and millions have been set aside for million dollar post office buildings. Finances are at low ebb and how to keep a balanced budget with income dropping each month has stirred federal authorities. With banka’cver the entire country holding up on loans, with building and loan associations declining loans and hold­ ing on to deposits, how can the federal government find Asound reason for a billion dollar bond issue. The enormous loans to foreign governments, the withholding of payments on foreign war debts, has created a-scarcity of money in this country for the ordinary transaction of public and private business. The federal government admits the situation when it begins three months ahead to urge formation of organizations in every com­ munity to feed the un'employeed. The government cannot go on spending on public buildings at the expense of the tax pay­ ing public and at the same time Urge people to prepare to feed the Unemployed* Tax money comes out of the pockets o f the people and there are many that look at the next paying period with some trembling and fear, as their income has been greatly reduced. m*i>iiHiiiiiiii)iiiiii»H»*ii>niHiMmiwmnliwiww FURNITURE When it comes to picking good stockyou van always depend on Ce- darville township.
