' " Inmates o f the Ohio Penitentiary were given special privileges on the Fourth of July and they also enjoyed a fine dinner, movies and chapel enter­ tainment. Many imp 'ovemonts have taken place in the past few months, including that o f the campus, Warden P. E.

S. U. football stadium at popular prices, 25 cents. Now comes the report that it has been impossible to sell 5000 sea­ son tickets to guarantee the week’s program. It was a big venture to bring 75 high class musicians to the Capital City for a week. Conditions in the city regardless o f the fact that several thousand salaried state, city and county officials reside there and have not felt the depression to the ex-, tent laboring and professional classes have, would make it impossible to put on this attraction. Paper Company To Restock Massies Creek NO POLITICS HERE The following letter from a Texas Pioneer was sent recently to a magazine and it contains so many homely truths, we are quoting it for your benefit and enjoyment: “ There seems to be much talk about our so-called Republican prosperity. I believe 'tis my duty to write my views on the same and help analyze the situation so far as possible so’s we can make up our Winds we had auto change our ways o f living and so forth. “ I have taken my own ease fo r instaiice. I see my mistakes, and many others have acted likewise. I bought a Ford instead of a farm and it is worn out, but the farm I figured on is still O. K. I have in­ vested in a radio instead o f a cow, arid the radio gives static instead o f milk. “ I am feeding five nice hounds which answer to the name o f Red, Red Wing, Slobber, Jake and Bayrum, instead o f five pigs. I had our piano turned instead o f the well cleaned out. I spent all my cash In 1928 and used my credit in 1929 and traded up my future wages on installments in 1930 so hard times caught me in bad shape last fall. “ If I had spent my last ten dollars for flour and meat instead o f gas and oil I would have been O.

The Hagar Straw Board & Taper Co. has under consideration a plan to re-stock Massie’s Creek with fish to replace those that are supposed to have died when the water was drawn from the reservoir two weeks ago. It is possible that some plan can be worked out that the flow o f water in the creek can be determined and that on the came basis water from the res­ ervoirs can be withdrawn.

Best Field of Wheat In Central Ohio; Claim If you want to see u field o f wheat out of the ordinary take a drive up the Clifton and Springfield pike. We believe it is the best piece o f wheat to be found in this section o f the state. At least there are more shocks in the field on the old James Anderson farm, where the round barn once stood, than any known to those who have driven over most o f this section. The farm is owned by Mr. Bell and people will be interested in knowing what the yield will be when the crop is thresh­ ed. 4.55 percent o f population o f U. S. above the age o f 21 Is college, train­ ed. In other words 4.53 percent of the total population o f the country provides 83.05 percent off the out­ standing persons in America. The re­ maining 95.45 percent o f the popula­ tion who are not college trained con­ tribute only 16.25 percent o f the out­ standing personages in America, In these times there is a loud call, for leadership. It is the greatest need o f our country. All lines o f business are suffering for lack o f . leadership. Young people of-this ,community have one o f the best opportunities at a. min­ imum cost to secure a college educa­ tion. You should make your arrange­ ments to enter college and get ready for life’s work. fying the grounds and fencing it for protection. Once put in good form the state will provide fo r its upkeep, The state has twenty-four parks mounds under its care now^ The lar­ gest mound in the state and the lar­ gest in the entire country is located near Miamisburg where a state park has been created and is the attraction fo r thousands o f visitors each year. - The late Dr. W. A. Galloway was much interested in restoring this mound and Dr, C. M. Wilcox o f New Paris finally interested the state in . accepting the Williamson mound. The future o f the park and what the state will do other than restore it w ith some-beautification,- depends en- . . tirely on the interest o f local people as well as the entire county. Some time in the future the state may pro­ vide a road direct to the mound and make it more accessible to the pub­ lic. . The. Archaeological and Historical Society has done much to improve the many natural mounds and beautify spots that are now public parks, This , organization haS charge o f the Ser­ pent Mound State Park, Fort Ancient State Park; is now restoring Fort Hill State Park in Highland county as well as others.

It was the first game o f the Clifton team this season. The depression is the topic fo r "many jokes, humorous stories and while there may be some irony there is much truth and a good lesson to all. Editor Tibbals o f the Franklin Chroncile puts out this one: “ We talked with a chap the other evening who said he was gett­ ing real enjoyment out o f the depression, Here's the way this phil­ osopher looks at it: “ 1 have had more fun since this depression start­ ed than I ever had before, I had forgotten how to live, what it was like to eat common, everyday food. The fact is, I was getting just a little high-hat.'* Well, we, too, are finding some benefit in the chang­ ed condition. Three years ago only one man o f the Chroncile organ­ ization could be out o f town at a time and he had to leave at the last minute and get back as soon as possible. Many times I have driven 50 miles to a banquet, sat through three'hours o f bunk ,in order to make a ten-minute speech, then drive the 60 miles back so as to be ready for work next morning, Nowdays, the whole Chroncile force can go anywhere, anytime, and stay as long as they please. I t ’s grea t. to drop into a store or the bank and feel that you can speniran hour or two or three or half a day just viiiting, tell Scotch stories, and not feel that you are wasting valuable time. Three years ago I ordered my clothes from a merchant tailor—two suits at a time,. All my clothes Were good clothes. I was always dressed up. But now, I have­ n't bought a suit in two years. I am mighty proud o f my Sunday-go- to-meeting suit. When 1 dress up, today, I am dressed up and don't ’ mean maybe, I am feeling better since the depression. I take more exercise, to save gasoline. My digestion is better, - 1 am getting real, honest-to-goodnesk food. Three years ago wfe had filet mignon once a week, now we have round steak with flour gravy. Then Wfe h^d roast breast o f guinea hen, now we are glad to get sow-bosom with but­ tons on it. My income has been cut to where I can afford to buy let­ tuce and spinach and parsley and we cannqt afford cavier, frozen des­ erts, Martini cocktails arid all that damfoolishness which had killed more good men than the World War. Before the depression 1 used ' to he out seven nights a week playing with cards with spots on them, waching foolish moving picures, talking about the time t would cash in on Cities Service and American Rolling Mill and take a little jaunt around the world. Now I sit at home with my old jimmy pipe, turn in early and get some sleep, Three years ago I never had time to go to church, I played g o lf all day Sunday and besidea I was so darned smart that there wasn’t a preacher in the World who could tell me (inything. Now, I am going to Sunday school regularly and if this depression keeps on I will be going to prater meeting before long,”
