Stories from inside sources bring reports that $2,500 deposited for use of a Congressional candidate in the coming primary had been de­ posited in a Xenia bank only a few days previous to the institu­ tion being closed. The fund had been collected by a former saloon-keepenin Clinton county to be used to nominate a shell- bark dry candidate for congress. A second solicitation fo r funds from the liberal interests is now being made, Contribu­ tors are being tpld that immediate funds are necessary, and by another contribution, "the funds now tied up in the closed bank will be repaid as soon as released. In view of recent develop­ ments friends of prohibition can now have some idea of how the wets are working to send a supposedly dry candidate to congress from the Seventh District. What a golden opportunity a certain women's organization has to capitalize on the present situation in Greene county. Frank Creswell tell* ua he ha* pur­ chased 1100 head o f fa t lambs for shipment from Howard Smith, pres­ ident o f The Exchange Bank. A t this time the lamb market is good, that is better than it has been most o f the past year. Mr. Smith will have profit on the selling price over his purchase pride with a net gain o f 88 pounds each. Mr. Smith has been a very successful farmer and is also a very conservative business man. CONGRESS AND SALES TAX The proposed manufacturer's sales tax in Congress is on the fair and in the newspapers daily. By a combination of Re­ publicans and Democrats, with the endorsement of a Republi­ can administration, an effort is being made to legislate a sales tax on many every-day commodities. There is stiff opposition "with anothernombinationruf Republican and-Bemocratic^mem-- With Easter but a few days away the question b f styles are uppermost in the minds o f most women. This year every well-dressed woman must have a set o f “ Cat’s Whiskers’, 1 the new perky bow and cu ff sets with deep Trills o f organdy lace, net or all laco, with a saucy bow to match. To us men folks “ Cat’s Whiskers’’ is only what the name implies, but to those who follow dictates o f fashion, it means something new and resembles just what the name implies. hers. What the outcome will he. it is not safe to predict at this time. Such a tax must be considered more or less a nuisance tax, yet if we must have one it is better to place it on the manu­ facturers, to be passed on the retailers and consumers, than on retailers alone". While this tax controversy continues in congress no' mem­ ber that has advocated a reduced cost of government operation has been able to make any headway. In some respects a sales tax will do wonders toward bringing the issue of government economy, and a greatly reduced schedule for.salaries, than any thing else we know of. It would not be popular and would hit all classes alike. Popular taxes are only those where part of the tax payers are forced to pay. The depression has hit baseball players but not very hard, just a tap, for Babe Ruth, king o f all baseball batters Tias signed^ contract”at a re- duced salary for this year, $75,000, instead o f $80,000. The reduced sal­ ary still is on par with salaries paid the Federal Farm Board politicians, which may yet be taken as one reason why other salaries should not be re­ duced. TROUBLE ENOUGH DURING DEPRESSION Editor Tibbals of the Franklin Chronicle, Warren county, in reviewing the congressional situation in the Seventh District thinks the Republican party is going to have trouble enough this year without county and state, organizations making it harder by forcing endorsements without reason. The whole set-up as to selection of delegates to the Republican ^national convention is bound to be embarrasing to President Hoover, in the convention and during the campaign. • <There is no question that Walter Brown, representing the President in Ohio, is determined to have a one-man delegation in the convention. The controversy in the Seventh District is a minor affair compared to the effort to be made for a liberal plank in the Republican platform which a supposedly dry Pres­ ident must stand on as a candidate for a second term. Trading -‘political endorsements for congressional candidates may be of advantage to the politicians but delegates from dry counties standing mute, makes a monkey out of Arthur Hamilton as the Seventh District delegate. The Brown plan o f capturing the wetrvote for the President will be another joke such as the Re­ publicans gloated over when- A1 Smith, was a dripping wet can­ didate on a dry platform aS the Democratic nominee four years « go. The question now is whether Delegate Hamilton has back- one enough to represent the Seventh District and vote accord­ ingly, or return from the convention branded as trading stock in the hands o f Brown arid Pemberton? A bill has been introduced in the Senate to abolish the Federal Farm Board, which has cost the govern­ ment a loss o f $200,000,000. The new bill would turn all duties over to the secretary o f agriculture where they can be administered without addition­ al cost. There is little chance for a salary reducing bill to pass this con­ gress for Pres. Hoover is against all salary cuts.' Meantime more new tax measures are being considered.

I. Marsh, recalls that the Dr. now hqkti the record for the long­ est continuous service o f either pro fessional or commercial business men in town. Charles E. Smith held the honor until his retirement several weeks ago due to illness. Practicing medicine for thirty-five years er more -in one community . has given Dr. Marsh entrance into hundreds o f homes, rich and poor, on errands o f mercy. He bps seen the passing o f most o f the early friends and scqauln- tances. He has held the confidence o f the people o f the community. He has always been interested in all move­ ments that ware .for the betterment o f the people, He never has held back when, it came to advocating civic im­ provements or the best interests o f our educational institutions and the churches. On moral issues he has never compromised or taken a back­ ward step when such a decision was necessary. It is such cltlsenship that any town can be proud of. Two entries are in fo r the Repub­ lican nomination fo r United States Senator from Ohio, L. J. Tabor, head o f the National Grange, and Gilbert Bettman, present attorney general in this state. Numerous reasons might be~given why Bettman should not be nominated, other than his stand as ah opponent o f prohibition. He has coh- sistantly opposed any form or change in local, state or national government that would deprive the party bosses o f their right to rule against the de­ sired wishes o f the people. He is a product o f the. Cincinnati' gang that has done more harm to. Ohio politi­ cally than any other organisation. He believes in gang rule and is opposed to the electors nominating candidates and would return to the boss control­ led political conventions. It is almost a safe prediction that if nominated he has no chance/>f being elected next November. He was elected attorney general because the electors o f Ohio did not know him as, they do now. J E t f l e s o n H i e s f o r A p p e l l a t e C o u r t v; v ; T v' 1' ’ ’ * i- ‘ '/Kv'V; There is one war that most motor ists would welcome and that is a gas­ oline war. Detroit has one and gas­ oline is now selling 10 gallons for a dollar. At the price gasoline is sell ing at the refineries there is little or no justification o f sixteen cents a gal­ lon in this section. The eastern cities are getting gasoline at much lower prices than in Ohio, due to the fact no doubt that one company gets two millions o f Russian gasoline each month laid down in Baltimore at a fraction over two cents a gallon. ask the that question tolling o f the THE GASOLINE BOOTLEGGER • . S' xxccording to reports Ohio is now infested with a new rack­ et-—the gasoline bootlegger. New ways are being used to get gasoline without paying the Ohio tax, and some of the old com­ panies are making complaint, It is true that when an article is taxed to a certain point there is a tendency then for certain people to find a way to sell that purchased article without the tax and under-sell competitors that, must pay the tax. While no one can defend such a practice we wonder if the oil companies are playing as fair with their consumers as they would have them believe while waging war on the new kind of racket? ^It was only this week- that gasoline was slightly in­ creased in price. With almost every other product going down and the gasoline market glutted with over production, the pub­ lic is forced to dig deeper into the pocket. The Ohio Standard Oil Company usually takes the lead in price raising as well as reductions in this state and other com­ panies follow. It cannot be said the company needed this in­ crease owing to holding up the scale of wages paid their em­ ployees for it has not been so many months ago all employees suffered reduced wages* The previous reduction in the price o f gasoline to the consumer was loaded largely on the local dis­ tributor, who was forced to have his slim margin of profit cut to almost nothing. The increase this week although only a half a cent a gallon is purely a bold hold-up and one motorists must submit too without opportunity of defense. . TRICKSo fMAGIC o o-o TAKING CARD FROM UNDER QUARTER WITHOUT MOVING COIN One might; say that if you were on the hunt fo r freaks, so to speak, you would not ldok among fanners to'find an income tax payer. With farm con­ ditions as they are o f course few in­ come taxpayers will be listed as far­ mers. 'Those that specialize in cer­ tain lines no doubt have had success­ ful years, as compared with other years. But to learn that one o f our farmers and stock-breeders had sold $11,000 worth o f hogs from hi? farms the past year, will be received with interest. O. A. Dobbins, o f Femdale Farms, holds such a record. Any breeder that can give such a report as that during these days o f poor busi­ ness, is entitled, not only to all the profit he has received but is to be complimented as well. } ■ jWE CARD WITH FINGER SHARPIN' \ IT MUST BE HIT ON A STfeWGUTANGLE THECARDWILLFLVOUT WHENHIT The whole world honors and ad mires Colonel Lindbergh and his wife, and the effort being made to secure the return o f their first born that had been kidnaped drew the sympathy o f the whole world. The same day an Ohio youth, a son o f a contractor, was kidnapped, the story Was told in the press but o f course did not have the front page advantage. The affections of the parents o f the two boys was no doubt as great to the one as tl a other but we often wonder how the father o f the Ohio boy felt when he saw the entire world worrying over .he return o f the Lindburgh son and mt little attention being given his :&se. The net result was that the Ohio son was found and returned and those guilty have been found guilty and will go to prison. No trace at this time o f the Lindbergh son must convince the Colonel and wife that at least once in their lives it has not paid to have been worshipped by the entire world. Fewer officers and less publicity no doubt would have made it possible for the kidneppers to re­ turn the son and get the ransom. P lies a quarter in the center o f a small card about two Indies square and balance the card oti the tip of the Index finger of your left hand. The quarter, In the center o f the card, will then be directly above the finger tip, with the card between It and the finger. The trick Is to remove the card Wltbdut moving the quarter. This is done by flipping the card sharply on the edge With the middle finger of the right hand. As the card Is hit It will fly bUt from under the quarter, leaving the quarter balanced on the finger tip. 2t Is- necessary to strike the card sharply on a straight or horizontal angle. tCuMrfsht, Will h. MfidboraU “HERALDWANT ANDSALEADS PAY” Things are breaking bad for the farm politicians, that brand that has known no depression, other than the popular -subject fo r discussion. Sen­ ator. Borah, (E ), Idaho, holds the Farm Board has been guilty o f mal­ administration in handling farm prob­ lems. The contention now is the big salaries paid these farm politicians who have been exploiting the farmers o f the nation and evidently playing into the hands o f favored interests. The salary list o f this hoard reads ike a genuine political set-up. The cost to the nation is $2,757,000 a year. One manager gets $75,000 a year; an­ other $50,000 a year, Borah says the .campaign against his bill to reduce <these salaries is being waged by so- j called farmers, who are only exploit- . ing the farmers. While a fight goes , on to continue these high salaries we f! id Unde 8am planning to tax eyery ^thing in sight to balance the budget. Who is dead? Did you ever when you heard church bell ? And -if you did* did you receive the answer:" : “Oh, it's some old man-' Yes, just some old man. Even his face is no longer (remem­ bered, His face may or may not'have been familiar upon the streets o f the town he inhabited. He was just an old man. Ah, the irony o f fate. . It is not Iqng since the old man you oury today waa yotmg.^amWtiou*, and lust as handsome as. you. ate. He, too, then replying, "Oh, some old man.” The same old query and the spine old answer. Generation after generation it is just some old man.” Some d a y ‘ you will be “some old man.” „ p Just some old man. It does not seem-possible, does it? It certainly,can t be that you, the handsome, well dressed, perfectly groomed, smart, .clever, cunning cock- jf-the-walk will be “ just ‘ some old man.’’ Well, w ell admit that it doea not teem probable and that Providence should make an exception in your case But the exception y on ’t be made. Nature is as exact as the multipli­ cation table. And Providence has pretty much gone out o f the exception business. So you better make up your mind that some day you will be just some old man. “ Oh, it’s so disagreeable.” Yes, we know but we can’t change it. • So when you hear the church bells tolling and you ask: “ Who is it ? ” and che answer comes back "some old man” just say to yourself: “ There's- my funeral if I live a few years more.’ Yes, there it goes. Sec how they hurry! They want to get the old man stor­ ed away as quickly as possible, that | they may go back to their business and their pleasure, j The casket is lowered. The minis­ ter says “ Dust to dust.” It’s all over and the crowd scram­ bles home again. “ Whom were they burying today?” you ask, as you see the empty hearse return, ' . ' "Oh, some old man.” When you hour that, just say to yourself, “ some day 111 be that ‘Some 1 old man',” | Yes, In spite o f all the fuss and Oil the feathers, you will he just some old man.—-Mascot. j BABY CHICKS Leghorn* Be Heavy Breeds lOe Heavy Mixed 8c ; A hat ah each Week* Visiters al­ ways welcome.
