W H EAT AS A MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE Many years' ago, i f the script informs us correctly, wheat wjw the medium o f exchange, the medium o f exchange for years in the past, being money as we know o f it today. The old saying ‘that a days pay shall be a measure o f wheat” will probably be true again, but the present generation is now wit­ nessing a return to the exchange or barter system. No so long ago we read o f a judge accepting peaches for fee of a marriage ceremony. A college in Fergus Falls, Minm, is taking grain for tuition. Morris Harvey College is accepting food supplies for the dining hall in place o f money on tuition. In some sections physician* are accepting butter and eggs on medical bills. One or two Ohio newspapers have announced they will accept grain in return fo r subscriptions. A farm machinery company recent­ ly made a similar announcement. Such bartering was common in many sections after the Civil war. The proposal o f the gov­ ernment board to trade wheat to Brazil on exchange fo r coffee was nothing more than the exchange practiced years ago. Then money was scarce,. Now we are told there is plenty o f it, but it is in hiding somewhere. History must be repeating itself. MAN FINDS PLEASURE IN WORK WELL DONE <• -■ ’ • • “ . •• . .V. •' - . Every necessity, convenience and luxury enjoyed by the comparatively favored few o f the world who live in this count­ ry, stand for hard labor and applied thought o f our immediate and remote predecessors. The founders o f this country were believers in the philosophy which says'that man finds his great­ est and most substantial pleasures in contemplation of work well done. It Was from this understanding o f life that the nation drew its hardiness and vigor,^arftd it is only by adhering to this con­ ception that it can expect to preserve and develops those qual­ ities Which have made our nation great in the eyes o f the world. No age in all history has contributed more to human progress and material welfare than our own, and no natiofi has had a greater.part in that contribution than ours. Idling sons o f industrious fathers represent the first step toward degeneration. Wealth is not an open sesame to a life of gentle ease. It is rather a badge o f responsibility. The idea of the leisure class is foreign to our national ideals. , The youth o f the land should be trained to look forward with eagerness to the day when they will be permitted to take up the tasks o f their fathers. The country cannot tolerate lazi­ ness and laxiiess. , A CONFERENCE TO AID HOME OWNERS a * * • , * ' ' • K , President Hoover has called a conference, o f interested groups to meet in Washington December 2 to consider methods that will enable more people to own homes. The cost of home owning the past twenty years has kept many from taking that step. Manymore have been financiably able to build but af- -ter investigating found they could rent cheaper. Taxes, inter­ est, assessments, repairs and insurance ran the cost to a point Where renting Was cheaper. ' What plan is under consideration, if there is a plan, has not been made public. To get a cheaper home there must be lower Interest. Lahor costs must be reduced over the present scale. The various materials must be purchased cheaper, To get a re­ daction in the cost o f homes is an intereatnig problem. A happy solution will be welcomed by everyone— but who is to take the , “ cut” to make such a thing possible? There, is plenty o f cheap money on Wall street according to quotations, but that money is fo r Wall'street speculation, not to be loaned to home or land owners at low interest rates. Before financial institutions can lower interest rates they'must reduce interest payments bit deposits and this comes home to the de- ' poeitor. The whole scheme o f business today is one wheel, in a wheel and one cannot be taken out without directly affecting the working o f the others. ; ' .

Frartk Creswsil, ioosl msBagtr t o the farm shipping organisation, «ay» he shipped nearly 1,200 head of hoga from the local yards last week. In the shipment were 200 head of February pigs that had been raked and led by Arthur Cummings and . hk tenant, Wm. Frame, that averaged 243 pounds and hold the banner as being ths-bost car of hogs that ever were shipped from Cedaryille. They were of uniform sire and attracted much attention. Corn cutting is a perplexing prob­ lem this fall. The price per shock is said to run from five to ten'cents, with the average below eight cents. This is not very Satisfactory, to labor­ ing men, when they think of twenty- five.,cents a shock « few years ago, The prospect of twenty-cent corn to farmers is not encouraging either but Trouble has been brewing among those' in charge of the state fair and Agriculture Director: Gttthrey, being a better farmer and banker than a politician, stands for no foolishness and fires the fair manager, Gothrey does not seem to have the interest of the politicians at stake and this at­ tracts Official Columbus.

This examytiaa has been one of the tenants oftba Quaker or Friends’ Faith, and one or two other religious bodies. Another forward step was opposing compulsory military trahu ing in stats supported schools. This hss been a bone of contention among the faculty at the Ohio State Univer­ sity and students but the Board ol Trustee#, under the dominance ot a representative o f the "shot-gun and powder interests, has said there will be compulsory military training at the State University and any member of the faoulty or Student that don’t like it can stay away. The Methodist bodies have appointed a committee'to protest such military training but it will be no religious gathering and the ultimatum of Ohio State will probably be “ if you dea't like it stay away." The University is a state institution belonging to tho people of tho state they like the laborer will certainly bs|hut^ls dominated by certain interests forced to make the best of. it Fight- - - • - ing grasshoppers, mosquitos and for­ ced to tramp through weeds,'makes the task of cutting unpleasant for it is hard work under best of conditions.

' The othir.dsy a rather insignificant man from India, as tho world is wont to judge men, gave a radio address from London,- England that sounded around the world. It was none other than Mabatmh Gandhi, the leader of millions in India who would stage a “Boston Tea Party” against English rule o f oppression in India, as certain Cal fence. American leaders did againts King ition in the controversary will also be (George a good many years ago. The of interest on both sides of the politi- principle of "taxation without repre­ sentation” was the issue in coloh- iat days and is the issue in India to­ day. Gandhi has gone to London to represent his countrymen at a round­ table conference. He .was educated at Oxford University and by his lead­ ership todute is a man England must reckon w ith .H is speech was very slow and. deliberate, easily, understood and. the ^broadcast made under the most favorable conditions. He made special plea that his people be freed from the liquor arid drug evil and that they be given liberty that mil­ lions could be permitted to enjoy gain, ful occupations' and released from idleness.

We may yet have a bus line between Xenia and.London to make direct con­ nection at London with the Dayton and Columbus line. The electric line interests own the franchise between Xenia and London, claim it could not be operated at a profit and withdrew the bus last week with consent o f the Utility Commission. A Mri Davis, who was a driver, has taken a lease on the franchise, and will ask the Utility Commission for permission to operate a line. He has a schedule of interest to the public. The other com­ pany could not make it profitable be cause the schedule did not suit the traveling public. A lesson to both bus companies and railroad*** well. i w / X - / ION THE / )nw J POUNCE , r BOK DOWS A? - / UPONT U B / / jA l V DIME 1 / f DIMED«VEN ((( / / J S S B M t t C h r PLATE ISUFTE& m f > WME IS FOUND BENEATH ~y a> *=> Prepare for this trick in the following manner: Lay a plate on a table, hide a dime under the plate and place a penny match box turned upside down beetd* the piste.

Church in Ohio have closed their an­ nual sessions, ohe in Columbus, the Ohio Conference, said to be the larg­ est in the country, and the Northern Ohio conference. The former met in Columbus end the latter at Lakeside. It was significant that both religious organizations wont on record and call on the federal government to find, means of stopping the sale of wine bricks and' beer bricks and affirmed their position in demahding urgent support of the prohibition law. The wine brick and batr brick are naw ways of dsftating the present law. It was only a few years ago that Mabel Willenbrand, than a federal attorney, The farmeris now confronted with another problem that may coat ~him a.good many dollar*. Hog cholera is spreading over many states. It is in many sections o f Greene county at thi* time. The best insurance any hog feeder can carry is-vaccination, But like many home owners there is nev­ er need bf fire inturinc# only in case of a fire. There is a rash to have herds treated now that danger lukrs around the Cotter. With many it is too late. Economic conditions no doubt kept many farmers, from hav­ ing their hogs treated lest' spring at strongly supported prohibition and at a time when the. cost would have been the Ohio Conferencs session in Spring much less. To loose put on a wheat field, opposed the election of A! Smith' crop and then see a herd of hogs,turn- for president.

With millions being loaned to foreign nations' and -nothing coming back, we find money scarcer than we have bad for many years. With this country making a huge loan to Ger­ many, and Germany using it to pay a war debt to England and France, we for the present stand alone. Neith­ er of the three countries are to pay on their debt to us for at year. You can solve the problem to your own satis­ faction with these facts. *A former resident of Xenif, Mrs. Ida L. Sin*, well known to many-here, won first prize in a garden contest conducted in that city. A photo of Mrs. Sinz’s gardan will be entered in the national yard and garden contest, where it wil) compete for prises con­ sisting o f atone garden benches and sundial. There were more than 850 entries in the Dayton contest this year. Dayton has many beautiful gardens that are omated with rock from the Taylor cliffs. The name of Schmidt will no long­ er be associatedwith thegrocery busi­ ness in Greene county. This week ends a grocery business started in Xenia, seventy-five years ago by Hen­ ry Schmidt. His son “H, E.” succeed­ ed the -father until about five years ago, when his health failed. There was ho stop in the business fpr the Schmidt family had another successor in Ernest, a Bon of H. E. This week he retires from (he business and the name probably will never again be associated with the grocery business. H. E. Schmidt is bedfast and in a very serious condition. During -bis tong years oLhusiness activity he acquir­ ed much wealth and specialized in business property In Xenia. .He is credited with owning more business property than anvother Xenian and most of it in the center of the city where it has grown in value as the city grew. Another Xenian that evidently has great faith in-the future of the city is P. H. Flynn, manufacturer, farmer and' capitalist. Mr. Flynn for years has'been engaged in the manufacture of shoes and'he has always been In close touch with the largest~manufac- turers of shoes-in the' country. He has specialized, In farming and for a good many years operated qua o f the largest dairy farms In this section. Ha is the owner of considerable property in Xenia, residence and business. - At present he is making an attractive improvement of business property at Main and Second street* which will be, quite an addition to the city. He can be found on the job directing the improvement each day. His son, Henry, is manager o f the shoe fac­ tory While another son, Fred, is now head of the co-operative' milk com­ pany in Dayton, Greene County being in the territory served. Another son is a student at Yale University. „ WE THANK YOU A local reader of this column has been so pleased with it that he Fays a compliment to the Writer for com­ ment on public questions and the in­ formation gained from it.
