Breeding and rais­ ing turkeys has become quite a pro­ fession. Yet with the cost of feed at a low point it is held that turkeys will net a greater profit than hogs. Mr. Marshall tells us there is a good mar­ ket for chickens this year but the white varieties are the only good sell­ ers in the East.

The college team has failed to get on the winning side ti is sea­ son—hut there is a teaSort. Many of the players are out for the first time. Again games were hooked against teams much heavier and more seasoned, In other words the local team has been appearing in too fast company this year.

That the state derive its revenue to o^her- sources be reflected in lower real state taxes. The report of the survey, committee recommends that a state equalization fund be established by some indirect form of taxation to insure a minimum of .education In Ohio of $4d per year for each elementary pupil andt $68 for each high school pupil. Local school districts would be eligible to this fund after they had levied' a local property tax of three mills, a reduction of 6 1-2 milts below the present local tax re­ quired for participation in the pres­ ent limited state aid fund.

Fess and Dr. Howard Rusiell, found­ er of the'Anti-Saloon League, if published extracts of. letters be­ tween the two are true. Tuesday Senator Fess sent a stinging reply to Dr. Russell, and a copy to the press! answering a letter in Which Dr. Russell charg­ ed that Fess is like a man “trying to ride two fast horses going in oppositite directions." Dr. Russell's charge was caused by Fess’ announcement th a t the Ohio senator will support the Re­ publican platform plank for a re- submission referendum on prohi­ bition to bring back liquor.*' The Republican plank gives States the •right to deal with liquor as they See fit, subject to whatever safe­ guards Congress may provide, FesS say* this is the best solution of a problem that eastern state* "are rapidly approaching nullifica­ tion.” ■ * Another paragraph from the letter reads: "1 only wish I had the intellectual ability, as well as the poise of mind possessed by Lincoln to answer the insinuations in your letter, as he silenced for all timeGreeley and his insinua­ tions that Lincoln was a man without character because he did not pursue a course pleasing to him.” Senator Fess also says “the Dem­ ocrats will want to submit an out- -and-out repeal resolution,” to which I am opposed. Fess writes further: “It will not due for you to assail men who are just as dry as you are, as rid­ ing two horses or voting two ways. I deeply regret that you have taken the attitude announc­ ed in your letter. The temper­ ance cause will not succeed under leadership representing a spirit of tha t sort. On the other hand it witt succeed if the friends of good government and the oppo­ nents of the liquor traffic will consider the cause free from all personal abuse," Dr. Russell’s letter evidently has Irritated the Senator, who was one o f the “Four-horsemen" that sit up all night at the Chicago Re­ publican convention trying to draft a plank in the platform that would be satisfactory to Republi­ can wets and not offend the dry*. The leading liquor distillers in large paid advertisements during the campaign urged the re-elec­ tion of President Hoover on the Republican platfor^n. The wine and beer interests want repeal and supported Roosevelt, The pol­ iticians and future candidates **e a change in public sentiment and are trying to straddle the re*l is­ sue. Sen. Fess Witt no doubt-be a candidate again in 1934 and he evidently w ill continue to “strad­ dle", under guidance o f the party, platform, part o f which was his own mwfttktt.
