COUNTY'S RECORD IS BROKEN No doubt there were many that had a well grounded.per­ sonal opinion that Greene county was to. escape what has fallen to many banks in various sections of the country. It grieves everyone that this record has been broken, yet from all the in­ formation we have at hand, there was no way to check it in the time alloted. The unwelcome news was received without any outburst on the part o f our citizenship in the county, which is in itself commendable, To date not a linger of suspicion points to an official or director of the closed bank. They were all men that have stood high in their, community and held the confi­ dence of all. We are living as it were in a new world, having been trans­ formed as if from one planet to another so far as business con­ ditions are concerned. The most conservative judgment, based on past experience, was good a year ago, but today with fast changing economic conditions, business problems are faced by minds more or less in a daze. Leaders in our financial institu­ tions have been under a great burden and mental strain. The condition of the money market is no more their responsibility, referring to local bankers that are serving their respective com­ munities, than it is the fault of the farmer who must sell his pro­ duct in a market over which he has no control. / > We have a money shortage in this country which will not balance a debt such as the world has never known. It is more to'be regretted that the government has exercised more con- —cem over-the future of other nations-by-billion-dollar -loans^ than at home. This is the situation and it cannot be denied. We can only face the future with a policy, public and private, that calls for the strictest economy and at the same time build tip our reserves. Leonard P. Ayers, Vice-President of the Cleve­ land Trust'Company clearly states his view: “ The depression will pass-—but we cannot do away with it by a policy of spend­ ing that wiU merely duplicate the period o f inflation we have just left behind us.” j Mayor Jacob Kany, Xenia, makes i no effort to conceal his opposition to an extra session of the state legisla­ ture. to provide funds for relief work. Ho says it is the duty of each com­ munity take care of those in need, and to this we heartily agree. There i^ no occasion to call the legislature in ses­ sion and if done will only result in an extra tax levy in some form. The seven or eight large populous coun­ ties are urging Gov. White to call the law-makers back, but the Governor now shows no signs of giving in. It has not been so many months U .(0 that many of our industrial cities wo?e ad­ vertising in Southern states for more labor and with the .depression these same cities are having trouble taking care of dependants owing to unem­ ployment. LIFE INSURANCE KEEPS MARCHING ON A speaker over the radio some days ago-said: “ Life insur­ ance is a basis of happiness and contentment, and that its own­ ership is a duty.” Life-insurance is laying something away for a rainy day. It is the one good safeguard for the future, As we face the trials of the nation today in this economic swirl in which we are caught, millions have found life insurance their greatest blessing. It is not every generation that faces what we have today. To many life insurance was something to leave' the family after death. Sure it was but what a convenience the thousands who carried life insurance have found it in meeting the expense of living while unemployed. The parent that does not impress on the son and daughter the necessity of saving in the form of life insurance, is neglecting a grave duty. Not so long, ago we had occasion to discuss the advantages of life in­ surance with an attorney for one of the largest companies in the country. It was interesting to learn of the many ways the policy holders had been forced by necessity to. borrow on their policies. Had it not been for this manner of saving no doubt thousands would be financially helpless, when passing through such a period as we are in. Life insurance provides protection as well as the opportunity for savings. CHILD-STEALING FOR lUkNSOM ; The eyes of the nation are fixed on the kid-naping of the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lindberg from their home. To add to the concern of safety of the child is that it had been ill with a severe cold. The loss of a child from any home regard- les of the station of the parents in life, is to be deplored. It is had enough that a dumb animal, or property be stolen, yet the thought of the theft of an innocent, helpless human being, is beyond imagination in a civilized country. Such an act takes us back to the days when tribes of nomads ravaged other tribes. /No crime could be -more cowardly than child-stealing. Money might be offered and great sums paid for its return but there is no compensation and little relief for the anguished mihds of the parents subject to such a test. The men,-women and children of the entire country, are sorrowing with Charles and Anne Lindberg. The heart-strings of the nation will only be loosen­ ed by the news that the babe has been returned, safe and sound. ownad by th* gov*rnm*s*t to the Rod ' Crow, Part of the wbwtfc will be mqd in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Montana, Iowa and New Mexico for live stock feeding where crops were a failure. Organizations of all kinds }n the na­ tion have been appealing to the gov­ ernment authorities for use of part of this wheat for relief purposes. Even though it is late in the winter it will | stil) do much good. A visit to the free , milk and cracked wheat station in , Springfield and see the long line of. j unemployeed with .buckets is proof j that there is much need of public aid, Most every city of an size has its bread line or charity house where not hundreds but thousands get a bit to tide, them over from day to day. Attorney Frank L. Johnson, Xenia, recently aided in winning a case in the Franklin county' courts that has been giving him much publicity and now we hear that he is to open an office in the capital city for the prac­ tice of law. He will continue his of- -nceHnrXenia and have an associate in he Columbus office. After much dickering among the politicians, the list of delegates from die various districts in the state to the Republican national , convention, have been announced. by Walter Brown. No names as candidates can appear or. the ballot without the en­ dorsement of some presidential can­ didate. In this way the public is [not permitted to elect delegates, but take what the politicians give them. The object in Ohio was to pick a delega­ tion .that would stand for modification of the Volstead act. and commit the party to the wet side of the question, and let President HoOver, have his own stand. In other words a socalled dry candidate on a wet platform. It is hinted by political leaders that the President is later to stand for a ref­ erendum on the liquor issue. NO SHRUBBERY REPORTED MISSING Not so long ago the Sheriff goes out to make a raid which is no uncommon thing other than most raids are made from a county or city road map, care being exercised that the right boot-legging joint is searched. On this particular trip the “Lettuce and Lamb Chop? officer, was accompanied by two ex- policemen in Xenia, These one-time custodians of the law in the county-seat, of course would have no objection as to getting on the county pay roll. Both]gave up their places with the city when it was discovered the shrubbery from Shawnee Park was missing. It is said no shrubbery was missing from the country home recently raided. This should make it possible for them to be re-instated on Xenia’s police force with the Sheriff’s rec- commendation. T R I C K S o fM J l G I C o M f i tH .

T. Marshall was secured in return for a delegate from *•that county. The same proposition was made to a prominent citizen of Greene county but he refused to be tied on congressional choice, and of course did not get the place. The name, of Senator Fess was used in the deal but it later* was discovered the. Senator had nothing to do with it and an­ nounced his opposition, which left a certain Federal office appointee hang­ ing the air. He had used the Sena­ tor^ name without his knowledge and got caught in the act. The announcement several days ago of twenty bankruptcy cases being fil­ ed in one day in one of . our nearby cities gives indication of how business is improving. We picked up a nearby county seat paper and found twelve sheriff’s sales, which is more proof that business is good jn federal as well as county courts. Within the past ten days a well-known business man told us he had offered for secur-Z ity $5,000 worth of Liberty bonds on a six month’s loan, and had it refused as such an amount could not be loan­ ed under present business conditions. It is just as hard for a bank to bor­ row money, as it is for an individual. The campaign about hoarding is the greatest piece of hypocracy ever put before the American people. The real facts are that money is short in this country because the present ad­ ministration in Washington has been playing Santa Claus to the foreign countries to the detriment o f our own citizens. You cannot loan billions to other nations and yet have these same billions at home, As a result the manufacturer suffers, the products of the farm drop to near nothing, the public cannot purchase the goods he needs from the retailer. The hoarding campaign is to blind the people from seeing the real situation. Xenia has been lacing a serious money shortage and one does not have to make more than one guess as to what is the matter., One large chain grocery company does not banking in that city. It has several stores and of course take's in several' hundred dol­ lars each day, only to be hauled out the day following in an armed truck. The banks must ship money in under a heavy express and insurance charge only to repeat day after day while the chain grocery company hauls it out by truck, A dollar spent with that company then has no chance of-being used for anyother purpose in that city by any of its inhabitants. Every dol­ lar hauled out is just that much less left in the countjr seat. A wonderful opportunity for some civic leader to come to the front an inform the pub­ lic of what is going on, Certainly no better time than at present. It cer­ tainly is a civic duty on the part of some one to come to the front to pro­ test such business methods, “HERALDWANT ANDSALEADSPAY” i From present indications Congress ", will override President's Hoover’s ob­ jection to releasing government own­ ed wheat lor relief purposes. The bill ‘ 1 ms passed the senate and has been f approved, by the house agriculture ' committee. The bill provides for re­ lease of 40,000,000 bushels of wheat Whoever has the power has made lashing reductions in the price of tnilk to farmers in both the Dayton and Columbus territories, The far­ mers shipping to Dayton wifi get but $1.50 a hundred pounds for four per cent butterfat content milk, as against $1.90, the old price. This will be a di­ rect loss to farmers in the Dayton ter­ ritory o f $15,000 a month. This will mean just that much less revenue to the farmer for his labor and interest on his investment. The kidnapping of the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lindbegr from their home during the early ,hours of the night, has stirred the whole na­ tion. ■Of course such an act was for ransom money and we learn now the kidnappers are asking $50,000. The family no doubt would gladly give this sum for the return of their only son, yet it is a bad practice and sets up a precedent dangerous to society in the future. Only families of wealth that have children are in great danger of such practice. It is said.-Lindberg has an income of about $50,000 a year from aviation companies and is worth between two and three million. When he made the trip across the Atlantic he was. a poor boy but he won the $25,000 prize which also brought him wealth and fame. To read that the abductors had been captured would ease the public mind, but that' they had been sentenced to hang would be more pleasing to all citizens. No pun­ ishment for such an act could be as- severe as it- should be. Wednesday morning people arose to find a new visitor, the March lion on the second. The trees were coated, with ice but by ten o’clock it had dis-. appeared, the sun breaking through at different places for a few minutes it a time. By the calendar spring is to be here in three weeks. Spring has been flirting around for several weeks and many of the buds have swollen on trees and shrubs. It is not thought the ice and sleet did any damage as it was on only a few. hours, The grass has been green most o f the winter. In view o f economic conditions we must admit nature has been very kind to us this winter. It has meant, much to the unemployed in the saving of winter fuel. The Ford land consisting of 2200 acres about S. Charleston, purchased by Henry Ford when he owned the D. T. and I., has been taken over by The Farm Management Go., of which for­ mer Lieutenant Govemer John T. Brown is the head. The'land is now owned by the Pennsylvania Ry. inter­ ests, being acquired when the latter company took over the D. T. & I, The land is rented to tenants who will continue to farm the land.
