Dr. V. R, Wertz, economist at .the, Ohio Agricultural Ex­ periment Station reports interesting information relative to the financial plight of farm owners in Greene, Putman and Union counties, which he says is but a reflection of "the condition ex­ isting on most farms hv westerft Ohio. _ That every'tenth farm is lost through mortgage foreclosure during the past eight years brings the situation home not only to farmers but all business. interests as well. In addition half of the titles to these farms' lost have changed hands within the last two years. Since 1925 the total number of acres foreclosed in the three counties was 81,475. The total area devoted to agriculture in this period in the same area was 773,000 acres. Doctor Wertz adds: “Forty per cent of all farms in western Ohio are mort­ gaged.” The government cannot be responsible for unwise investments in farms or homes by individuals. W e have pas­ sed through the “ drunken sailor period” of over-expansion of credit, the f armer being no more to blame than business men or home owners. For a few years it was the policy in all lines to “ buy now and pay later.” It has been'a costly lesson but each •generation must learn from'experience if we do not heed what history of the past records. Many of these farms could have been saved to the owners had the leaders of thought and action in responsible govern­ ment positions been more interested in America than in Europe. W e do not favor a dole of any kind but if one is to be given out let the folks at home have the first chance $t itv Lending pub­ lic money by billions to nations abroad that owe this country billions has now brought us to the point where each citizen in every walk of life must dig deep into his pocket to pay the bill if foreign nations refuse to pay their debt. Better have the home home folks owing our government than the foreigner. «R more tim« or even a reduction, yhsn eke etaads eeeend to the United States in the ownership of cold? The surprise to us over the invitation the President has given is that he ia now ignoring the International Bankers. ■s it possible that he has at this late date discovered that Wall Street in­ terests that urged the moratorium, so hat they could get their money first, are the same interests that urged Woodrow Wilson to get in the war?

He is none other than Sen­ ator Robert Taft, Cincinnati, who fail­ ed to connect in the recent election. The Senator is the author o f the Ohio classification tax law and the law will stand or fall without the aid of the Senator. Hamilton county does not care much for the classification law and recently won a suit attacking the distributive feature of the intangible tax. About a million dollars was at stake. In the voting Taft trailed a long alist of candidates. Maurice Maschke, Cleveland boss, in explain­ ing why David S, Ingalls, Republican candidate for governor failed to make good showing in Cuyahoga county, says young David made too eloquent introduction speech when he present­ ed President Hoover to a Cleveland audience during the late lamented campaign, Senator* Taft must have been .engaged in the introducing bus­ iness also from the results./ - NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estate o f Charles E.

(4t) HENRY FORD BAYS HE IS AN INTERNATIONALIST Hardly has’the heat oc£ a presidential campaign disappear* ed itt which the tariff and international relations were promi­ nent features in debate through the press and on the platfbrm, until Henry Ford gives out a press interview that he is not a nationalist but an internationalist. Ford now says he thinks business will begin to improve at once if the Democrats establish fre^ trade. That is in their platform and I think it'would be a great benefit to -the entire world. He also says we should change pur money system and with free trade, we will see a great change, anew term of hope, optomism, prosperity and happiness throughout the world. In yiew of the fact'that Ford gave a radio broacast for the re-election of President Hoover and urged his thousands of em­ ployes to vote that way, he must have suffered a change of mind since election day, The Republicans have stood fast against changing our money system. The Democratic party is no long­ er pledged to. absolute free trade, owing to local interests in Democratic states urging tariff protection. The criticism of the present Republican tariff law is the unfairness of it among business interests. Favorite interests have protection but other interests do not have protection. No one has enjoyed more free trade under the present Republican tariff than Ford who has his tractors made in Ireland and shipped into this country free of tariff duty. He probably has in mind the manufacture of auto­ mobiles with foreign labor to be shipped into this country under what he now terms “free trade.” It will be interesting to see how President Hoover’s supporters in the past election take to free trade idea from the man that sponsored the President’s re- election. After fourteen years have passed another Armistice Day was observed last Friday. Time moves oh and the fourteen years has recorded much his- ;ory for this nation and. the world To those that suffered the trials of^the World War in defense of peace»and security of the world, we all stop at east once each year, November IF to ipay tribute to those who lost their vives'and to the heroes that haye since their return taken ,their places ' in the activities of the nation.* But the- day. found not only this nation but the en­ tire world. at battle against an eco nomic force that has reduced millions so the ranks of those in Want.

Now and then we read where some jne suggests that the Democratic party should give up the "Donkey” as t's emblem and use the ’’rooster” a- one. The election having passed'we ■ead suggestions again that a change ihould be made. The emblems o f both if the major political parties were the ireation of the world famous cartoon- st, Tom Nast They came into use n 1872, about the time the Republi can party was not only in power but had reached its climax in government :ontroi, there to' remain for many years. Back in those days Horace Greeley was prominent in politics by his New York journalism. Nast ded- cated the elephant to the Republicans swing to their strength. Nast was a strong Republican and liked to ppke fun at the Democrats, and particular areeley, who was opposed to the Re- sublican party on finance. From that word, he found "fine ass” ,and branded the Democratic party with the label of .he donkey. As time went on the Democrats adopted the donkey and it has remained with them to this -day. The emblem of the party on ballots was t h e ‘’rooster'’ while the "eagle” was adopted by the Republicans. If was Nast's idea that the elephant had a good pull while the donkey had a powerful kick, Reports from over the country in­ dicate that, sixty congressmen that have a long list of members of their families on the government pay roll, failed o f re-election, right here in the midst o f the depression.- The voters certainly treated them rough. With each congressman costing the nation $28,000 a year, a good part o f which went into the family purse, might be wo. ;h remembering, even to the next election, unless congress votes to drop this practice.

FINEST OILS Department THE FULLINGTON SAYS W H Y W E SHOULD BE THANKFUL Thanksgiving is almost here. I mentioned that to a friend, who scowled and demanded: “ What have we to be thankful for?” iTh®,<l uestion be asked, with snarls and sneers, in many parts of the country-—and deserves an answer. • W e should be thankful, this year, more than any since the country was saved in civil strife, that bad as conditions seem to be, we still are the happiest, best fed, the best clothed and the most prosperous nation in the world. W e should be thankful that, despite bitterness and rancor, bred of disappointment and economic distress, our people have accepted the will of the ma­ jority calmly, and, casting prejudices, have pledged themselves to stand with the new administration and work with it to re­ store prosperity. W e should be thankful that, with incomes reduced, wages cut, and living conditions harder, we still have enough left to share with those who are poorer, and the kindliness and char­ ity in our hearts to sacrifice some of our comfort, to aid those who might hunger. We should rejoice that the institutions upon which our ma- I w L pr0LI>erii?y ai?(L 0Ur spiritual welfare rest, still endure; that the church .and the school still are sacrificed guarantees of the perpetuation of American ideals and standards for future generations.

We recently heard of a discussion in a local place of business where Sever­ al women were talking about the elec tion. One lady remarked she was a Republican. Another leaned the same way but expressed disapproval o f the Democratic emblem, the donkey not being a very attractive animal. The third lady in the group was a Demo­ crat and it felL upon her to explain that the donkey had a prominent place in Bible history. She pointed out that if Christ could ride into Jerusalem on a donkey, that animal was good plenty good enough for her to follow. That end the discussion about party em­ blems. The one big topic this week has been the foreign debt situation And the action o f President Hoover invit­ ing President-elect Roosevelt to have a say in the deliberations, now that Germany, England, France, Belgium and probably other countries will want this nation to continue to play the roll o f Santa Claus and give them some mote reduction on war debts, etc. The step taken by President Hoover has no precedent in American history, yet we see nothing wrong about it, other than relations now between this and other nations are no doubt much worse than the public knows0 about. The opening of this subject means more disturbance to business, will tend to withhold confidence that is necessary to enable the’ country to go forward. It will be remembered that the stock market, as well as live stock market, broke following the President’s speech in Des Moiiies and continue:) to go down for several weeks. If the bud­ get was balanced in July by the extra takes, how could we he within two weeks of going o ff the gold standard ? I f we were that near the wrecking point, how could the budget be bal­ anced? In as much as we are now in the "red” some four hundred millions, where are we headed for ? It is not a* bout time tjian we were -collecting some o f the money foreign nations owe us? Why should France be giv- Presa reports tell us o f how far­ mers in the west •will burn com owing to fhe.low market price, and thus save on coal. ,If com cannot be sold this would be practical but if the same a- mount of com will pay for more than that amount o f coal, it would be best to sell the conr-and pocket the differ­ ence. Where there is lO per cent of -noisture, it takes ' 3,750 pounds to jqual a ton o f coal; where the moist- ire is as much « s 30 per cent, it takes 1,035 pounds. . -L. E ; Thatcher of the }hio Experiment Station has .the fol- ’owing to say on the subject: "Sup­ pose a farmer has a crib o f old com vhich on the first o f December runs 15 per cent moisture and that he can get 20 cents perjhundtedweight for it at the farm, Sfiall he sell it and buy boal or bum it for fuel? He would have to bum 4,006 - pounds of com worth $8.01 to equal one* ton o f coal, wing the Hocking lump coal as an sample for comparison. As this coal retails for about $5 a ton, it is best to sell tte com and buy coal. COAL ! COAL !! Before you put in your Winter’s supply o f Cos], see me for lowest prices on High -Grade Coal; 'Ey.

The irst bill that will attract public at­ tention will be the modification of the Volstead act. But congressmen from the wet states elected as Republicans will plunge into that fight to try and cop all the glory. Another bill that will bp watched with interest is the new tax bill, probably a sales tax on most, everything. As the Democrats promised a cut of twenty-five per cent in government costa, the public will be watching closely jiist how all members vote on that issue—even our own Sen­ ator. Ex-Govemor Myers Y. Cooper, in an address before the student body at Wilberforce University Monday morn­ ing:, predicted that “ President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, like President Hoover, will not be able to solve the question o f depression in this coun­ try.” He stated the depression can only be solved by the people working together and continuing in the right direction. “ There is no excuse for anyone to be discouraged.
