PICKING OUT A CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS Although it is six weeks until the May primary for nomi­ nations for the party ballots, the public in the Seventh Con­ gressional District should be giving some consideration to a can­ didate for Congress* Each man hnd woman can cast a glance over Congress in action today and certainly realize that great responsibility rests on the individual voter. Conditions on the farm, the workshop and the retail store should impress all that no fly-by-night, blue-sky salesman, without a single iota of accomplishment in a decade of politics in Greene county, other than being on the taxpayer’s back, should be a candidate. The candidacy of L. T. Marshall, former Geiger-Jones blue-sky salesman, that left a trail of distress, broken homes, mental anguish and torture over Greene county, will not be re­ ceived with much consideration among those who were wreck­ ed or ruined, or with those who have some feeling or sympathy for fellow citizens. He has been a political parasite on the county for many years. Where he may have contributed only a few dollars for support of the county he has drawn thousands nursing the public teat* He has no public record of outstanding accomplishment for the county other than during the terms of office was a reg­ ular visitor to the county strong box for his fat salary. He has never once publically, or otherwise, taken a stand in defense of the ordinary citizen as a taxpayer. Instead he has always been openly a supporter of any'movement for-more political offices and higher salaries. In his career as drawer at the “public well” he has never taken a stand for reduction in governmental expenses, let alone a reduction in high salaries. Today his plat­ form as a candidate for Congress is as blank as the darkest recess in Mammoth Gave. He has but one ambition and that is to dispense public patronage at4he expense of the taxpayer and draw the $10;000 yearly salary, and .be subservient for favors, past, present and future to his ally, Pemberton, the wet leader about the State House as an opponent of prohibition. While serving as a State Senator (?) he left a record that he himself dares not parade before the electorate, even the fa­ mous liquor party in a Columbus hotel by his friend and poli­ tical associate, D. C. Pemberton, former lobbyist for Cincinnati liquor interests^ now sponsoring the Marshall congressional campaign in this district. The Marshall legislative record was a public disgrace and some of the votes were for laws that took certain control from local citizens and taxpayers. His intro­ duction of certain bills that never became laws should mark his legislative career as anything but desired, especially in such legislative halls as Congress., His candidacy for Congress is being sponsored today more among the underworld of the Seventh District by the Capone politicians than by busi ness leaders, ^bankers, ministers,, wo­ men's organizations or the press. So far as we have noticed not a-single newspaper has given the Marshall candidacy favor­ able editorial endorsement. He has political endorsement such as picked by wet political leaders. He seems to have the-zedge on One other candidate running on a wet ticket when it comes to lining up the wet organizations. We challenge any of the Marshall supporters to come before the public in debate on his public record, in Greene county or as a member of the State Senate. There are some things the public does not know even about the, government in Greene.county and how it is operated fOir gang profit, that could best be explained in open debate. * 5 A memorial is to ‘be erected to Wil­ liam Holmes McGuffey, designed by Loredo Taft, noted sculptor, on the campus of Miami University, I t will face the old McGuffey homestead, where he wrote his immortal McGuf- fey readers. The name of McGuffey is very dear to most of our middle- age people for it was from these read­ ers that the foundation of their edu­ cation was laid. I t was not so neces sary in those days to have a long list of tex t books as we do today. The Kay arithmatic, Harvey grammar, * geography and a writing book consti­ tuted the required list of text books. The McGuffey readers in time became “out-of-date" and there are many who helieve the modern reader to be a very poor substitute. Each lesson in Me Guffey’s readers was more than mere reading, spelling or grammer. There was a moral lesson in simple truth written in a way the pupil absorbed it and retained it until mature years The visit m Hr, R. Am** Mont­ gomery, president of Lane Seminary to CedarviUe,\reealls that this famous educational institution, is to pass out from its active field of work and be­ come part of the Presbyterian Theo­ logical Seminary in Chicago. The seminary was incorporated under a charter issued in 1889, The campus of sixty acres in Cincinnati is located In Walnut Hills, on land that is very valuable. The land was donated by the Kemper families and the deed pro­ vides that no part of the property ever shall revert to ike heirs or as­ signs of the donors. In event the sem­ inary ever should become extinct, the deed provides that the property is to belong to four societies named. Any of them failing, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church becomes the residuary. The depression is aiding in reduc­ ing the cost of government in one Ohio county I f an editoiial in-a- Cleve­ land paper is correct.' • Cuyahoga county is well on the rocks financially and there is no money to pay the -flock of common pleas judges from rural Ohio that have been having a holiday for several years. The judges have re­ ceived $20 a day and all expenses in addition to the salaries paid then in their own counties which run around $3000 to $3,500 a year each, depend­ ing on population. The Cuyahoga judges spent their summer vacations in Michigan jand winter vacations in Florida or Cuba. With a lack of funds Cuyhoga judges are on the- job and rural judges are also a t home. It has been a great political machine that Chief Justice Marshall has built up in Ohio. Not so long ago the other members of the Ohio Supreme Court! tiring of the arbitrary rules of the Chief Justice, voted unanimously to curtail some of his activities; . ADMINISTRATION TAX FLAN WILL LOOSE The proposed sales tax for federal revenue as proposed by the administration in Washington, backed by a fusion of Re­ publican and Democratic leaders, is doomed to defeat. No tax of course is going to be popular under present business condi­ tions, but Congress is hearing from home on this bill. In fact •there is little chance of any tax bill passing if the people and all business interests are consulted. , 1 Higher taxes on incomes will only mean tighter money for months to come. More tax on industry will bring lower wages to employees. The proposal for another cent tax on gasoline dooms the automobile industry just that much. New taxes on automobiles only takes that much more out of the pockets of the pfeople that cannot be used, to purchase any kind of merchan­ dise. The tax situation, federal and state, has reached the stage where the “horse has been ridden to death.” The federal and state governments must prepare for big reductions in’the cost of operation. Boards and commissions can be abolished without imperiling legitimate operation of the government. Millions upon millions can be saved by placing powers once held locally back where they rightfully belong. By doing this no additional taxes would be needed but getting such a plan past .the politicians is something else. The public is no longer looking for advice as to when the depression will end. It is convinced that no quick cure remedy can be applied and get results immediately. It is going to take months and probably a few years to get things back on a sound basis. Dur­ ing this time the nation and state* as well as other taxing dis­ tricts might just as well make up their mind to face the situa­ tion as it really is, not as the political leaders want to tell you. Continuance in power on the part of party leaders is of no great concern to the average citizen today. Instead of a political bos;i cracking a whip to herd voters this year, you are to find voters ignoring the party lash and doing as they please. in ■ o THICKSo fMAGIC U w s s J a w THREAD SUPPORTING RING CAN BE BURNED AND STILL SUPPORT RING Some weeks ago the Herald made reference to the fact that much of the demand for an extra session of the legislature was not for poor relief as it was' to get a change in the new election code adopted bythe last legis lature. The code was drawn up by so- called experts with the approval of the attorney general’s office. One of the features of the code was the com bining of national, state and county tickets on on ballot. Heretofore .they had been separate. The idea was to get straight party votes. The Re­ publican bosses now have some mis­ givings about .the plan in as much as the national ticket is much in doubt oh the Republican side. Gov. White called the legislature for poor relief but leaves no other topic for discus­ sion. Attorney General Bettman a letter to the Governor says there Is much doubt about how electors are to be voted upon and the legislature had better make ,the change. This would open up the whole election law code. With no names of electors on the bal lot voters were to vote only for pres ident and vice president and the elec tors take the majority vote as instruc tions as to how to vote in the electoral college. What the Governor will do is not known but many venture the statement that the legislature will not have a chance to make any changes this year. Some months ago Attorney Genera Bettman ruled that public officia could except mortgages as collators for security from banks holding pub­ lic funds. The plea was that banks cofild then cash their bonds up for col­ lateral to become more liquid. The ar­ gument against such a plan was that banks would turn over completely frozen assets and should any thing happen to the financial institution, the county commissioners would hold nothing but frozen paper and also be forced to close in on mortages on business property or farm land that would not sell for probably half of the mortgage, particularly in a low market such as wo experience today. We understand there are now severe such cases in Ohio today, where the mortgages held by public officials as collateral cannot be realized upon by one half. Ohio has not had cause to rejoice over the administration of the attorney general’s office and the rtt ing relative to securihg public funds is no credit to Bettman. There was neither reason or logic for his ruling other than to give aid to a cjiain bank corporation in Ohio th a t was in des perate straights. A piece of tliread must be prepared for this trick in the following mon- M r: A small glass is filled with water, two teaspooi. *uls of salt are added and the water Is stirred until the salt has dissolved. The thread Is dropped into the water, left to soak for about an hour, and taken out and thoroughly dried. The performer appears before the audience, borrows a ring, and ties one end of the thread to the ring, which Is then held suspended In mld-alr, and a match is applied to the thredd. Although the thread hums, it will retain sufficient strength to .hold the ring. This is explained by the Sfiltwater form­ ing a crystallized surface on tho thread, which gives it double strength. (Copyright, Will U . t.lttdhorst.> “HERALD WANTANDSALE ADS PAY” The city of Springfield has been operating a free milk and crushed wheat station for several months for the benefit of unemployed. Now that some of the government owned wheat is available the city has asked for 315 tons. The wheat is being distributed by the Red Cross. This is one of the most practical steps Congress has taken. The government will loose several million dollars on the wheat and had it been turned over for aid of the unemployed and poor, citizens and taxpayers would have been saved an enormous sum of money, The recent fish and game banquet was a field day for candidates and pol­ itics. Although politics Was supposed to be tabooed, each speaker talked to a certain extent on conservation and then proceeded to make a political speech. There were both Republican and Democratic speakers present and the guests had the opportunity of hearing both sides. One Democratic candidate went back to the days of Julius Caesar to depict the plight of agriculture^, today and he did it in a very dramatic way, The audience either approved what he said or fol- lowed the rules of etiquette to the let­ ter and never Uttered a word of dis­ approval. In fact he received as gen­ erous round of applause as did other speakers, Wheat takes a down grade march in price this week while the Federal Farm Board sells several million bushels. The general opinion is that the plan of the Farm. Board has been failure and brought nun to wheat the plan is correct it then has not been administered'as it should have been. The only success -we can point to is the huge salary list of farm politicians. Fire the farm board and dose the stock market for a year and give the law of supply and de­ mand a chance to function and all in-' terests wilt be better off, I t is now more than three weeks since the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lindbergh was kidnaped, and the au­ thorities seem to have made no pro­ gress in finding the guilty persons. Capone offered his services if given freedom from jail but no one has ever suggested that the case be put in the hands of the Greene county sheriff. Feed up on lamb chops and lettuce a t the expense of the taxpayers, with a $160 a month cook that formerly cost $11 a week, should bring results. By .the way what has become of the Sheriff?- WHY* P O U L T R Y • M T S * MILK’S HIGH PLACE IN FLOCK’S RATION Efficient Egg-Making Food a t Present Prices. Milk, at present prices a relatively; cheap food, deserves a place In the; poultry ration, declares P. B. Zumbro,; extension specialist In poultry hn>" bnndry for the Ohio State-university.. If liquid milk Is available on the- farm, this form 1* the cheapest to use,'' For every gallon of liquid milk fed: dally to each one hundred hens, the protein concentrate in the mash may­ be reduced 5 per cent, he says. If liquid milk le not available, dried, milk piay be used In the mash, . When liquid milk Is not available' for the poultry ration, the following, graln-maab ration la recommended by; .the poultry specialist For the mash:; ground yellow corn, 40 pounds; ground; .wheat 20 pounds; ground oats, 20: .pounds; dried milk, 5- pounds; meat scraps, 15 pounds; salt, 1 pound. For th e ‘grain: cracked corn. 50 pounds; wheat 40 pounds; and oats or barley, 10 pounds. ~A'moist mash fed In the“summer-wlllr stimulate the. poultry appetite and re­ sult In Increased production, says Zumbro. The regular laying mash, may be used In making the moist; mash. For each 100 hens, 2 pounds! of the mash moistened with milk or] buttermilk until it Is I d * crumbly con-- dltlon. Is sufficient for a dally feeding.* It Is not necessary to hnve special feeders for this, special moist mash;; It may be fed on top of the. dry mash' In the dry miisb hoppers. Rayt of Sun Affect Hcmi- f sphere* Differently Prof. Earl A. Robinson, a hlghscliool science teacher, says the sun Is con­ tinually radiating energy, and It hi this energy, he believe*, that hlows a comet’s tall away from the sun—also turns the paddles of a radiometer around. Somewhat Uke a radiometer paddle wheel, which la dark on one aide and silvery on the other, the north half of the earth has more land and the south half more water, hence the driving action of the sun's radiation affects the two hemispheres different­ ly. “When the North pole is exposed to the sun, the driving action reaches more land and Is greater than six months later, when the South pole Is nearer the sun and the driving radia­ tion reache* more water. This un­ equal action, alternately lengthening and shortening the distance between earth and sun, would account for the slight eccentricity fn the earth’s or­ b it”—Los Angeles Times. Mr. and Mrs. W.

Alfalfa is a permanent crop that will ‘ grow throughout the entire season- without cultivation and enn withstand] more hot, dry weather than almost ] any other crop. Bluegrass is good] pasture. It you cannot have alfalfa you may: want to .sow a temporary crop and we suggest oats for the early pari of the -year and sudan'grass for the rest of ibe season. Plow the oats during the later part of May or early In June and teed the audan grass, - Farmers are getting away from the Idea of a permanent poultry yard for •their fowls; They are moving their houses each year to new ground,- Many of them use their meadows or pastures' for range, thus giving the birds ground that has had no chickens on tt for one. to two years. Grass for Chicks ; The barer the ground, the smaller the chance to raise good chicks. So A good many years of experience and {experimentation have proved. Early chicks are alwayB more desirable, be­ cause they grow better, have less mor­ tality, the cockerels are ready for market earlier and hence bring more money, and the pullets are.ready to ’lay earlier In the fall and winter when eggs are high. As to why bare ground doesn’t help raise good chicks, authorities point out that a good growth of alfalfa, clover, or bluegrass Insures a liberal supply of green feed. Is much more sanitary than bare ground, and Is an Insurance ngalnst disease Laying Hens Need Lime The Importance of keeping bens well supplied with limestone, oyster shell or tome other form of calcium carbonate Is emphasized by results obtained In Investigations. Where no limestone or oyster shell was fed, but the ration was otherwise the same, the investigators observed that: The batchablUty of fertilized eggs wa* diminished, finally becoming zero, The percentage of Infertile eggs In­ creased. Fewer eggs were laid. The eggs became smaller. The eggs became lighter. The chicks hatched weighed leas. Two Day Service on Dry Cleaning.
