' i Where does child labor begin and end? Should we deny i young people the right to learn to work and earn something lor themselves and possibly their parents in many cases. Where is the safe line of demarcation between child labor and labor of young boys and girls? Should wo follow fjomo of the .sug- gestion that boys and girls should be of age or near their.major­ ity before being allowed to earn something for themselves. These as well as many other questions might be asked but the answers would be as numerous and different as the questions. Certainly child labor should not be permitted but young folks in good health, full of hope and inspiration to do some­ thing for themselves, should have their opporunity when that urge dawns upon them as nature so intended. If we would listen to some of the so-called up-lifters there would be no op­ portunity for a boy or girl in their early teens. There would be no place for them other than in the streets or on the high­ ways. The Creator probably never intended that human be­ ings would be regulated as a machine. Some young folks first feel this desire for opportunity of self support from twelve to fifteen. Others from fifteen to eighteen or twenty. •If we read the life history of some of our national and industrial leaders correctly we find many of them were at em­ ployment in their early teens, working daily and studying at night for self education.' The youth must learn to work at the time nature prepared him for that work for legislation, rules and regulation cannot supplant the laws of nature. But legis­ lation and enforcement can retard the laws of nature and wreck the future of the youth. , There has been great social injustice in many instances in­ flicted on young labor but our idea'is that the employerer should be held accountable to cure the ill rather than deny young folks the right to work for hire if they so desire. There certainly is no moral wrong in the sons working for their fathers on the farm nor has attempt been made to check it, whether they work for hire or board, or both. To say that a boy from town cannot work for hire on a farm is no different than to say he should not have the same opportunity in industry. To deny young folks the opportunity to have gainful em­ ployment we are but creating a situation that will lead us into serious trouble in the future. The old saying that the “ idle brain is the devil's workship” is true. For some years back young folks have been denied the chance to work in the city. They have been forced into the streets where they oftimes fell under evil influences and today police records show that the gunman is the youth in his teens or.early twenties, out of em­ ployment or having-no background” due to the fact he had missed his chance to learn to Work when nature intended it to be. i- . . . REDUCTION IN REAL ESTATE FOR TAXATION It is almost safe -to predict that County Auditor James J. Curlett is to get a reduction of ten per cent in the valuations of all real estate in the county for tax purposes. The Auditor is well aware that property owners are entitled to such a reduc­ tion and he has submitted the question to the State Tax Com­ mission.for approval. The sale, of land as well as urban prop­ erty is proof that present valuations are out of reason under present conditions. Rentals have dropped whereby most owners have been unable to realize even a profit. Not only valuations must be reduced in fairness to prop­ erty owners but there must be lower limitations for tax rates. A movement is now under way to initiate a limitation of ten mills, fifteen being the maximum rate under the present con­ stitution. Two bills were offered in the last legislature, one for ten mills and the other twelve, but neither received much con­ sideration from, administration leaders and died in committees. Such changes by law would not be binding on the next legis­ lature and to protect property the constitution must be changed. . The first obstructive move towards the initiated ten mill limit came last week from the Ohio State Farm Bureau when the. trustees voted to’ ask Gov. White to call the legislature to pass a twelve mill limit act. Farmers that we have contacted on this proposition are as much opposed to the Bureau move­ ment as are other property owners. The Ohio Taxpayers’ Association, composed of both farm and urban citizens, num­ bering several thousand members, is taking the lead for a change in the constitution for a ten mill limitation and this organization should have active support irrespective of what the Farm Bureau desires. To call the legislature in session again would cost the state thousands of dollars and granting the twelve mill act was passed it might be repealed at the fol­ lowing session. We hope property owners will not be tricked as they were when classification of property for taxation was presented as a panatea for our taxation ills. It is admitted that in the face of classification real estate is paying nearly three-fourths of the tax in Ohio. This should appeal to property owners and guar­ antee support of the ten mill limitation. Ohio property is facing nex taxation in more than one way. It is proposed now to place all sinking fund requirements on real estate. Adopt old age pensions and you place another tax on real estate. Other relief measures in ‘the background may bd made possible by additional real estate tax. To increase tax levies hits real estate. This is not a pleasant outlook for real estate in the future unless you give approval to the ten mill limitation for taxation on your home or farm. It is your only protection. Talk it among your friends and neighbors. Sign the petitions when you have the chance and remember you must campaign for it at the election in November. We expect to see it get the larg­ est vote ever cast in Ohio on any initiated or referended measure. It looks now like Gov. White would call the legislature in extra session before September to consider more new tax measures. He is to veto several tax bills to get more revenue instead of reducing the cost of state government. The solid South seems to have taken on the liquid stage. When the Cincinnati Reds are “ in the cellar” baseball seems to have little attraction for the fans in these parts. The Reds might try softball. . All lines of industry are trying to. build codes under the Recovery Act. Its more like making it easier for the “ big fish to swallow the little ones.” Summer School ends today so once more vacation starts. A news report says fewer marriages brings fewer divorces. If this is true there should be no marriages permitted in the motion picture colony at Hollywood. Wheat takes a big drop. So did a lot of speculators that held their wheat The railroad companies still cling to the old order and refuse to bid for the popular travel to Chicago by rates that will compete with the automobile. ichool L.esson (By nnv. p.

'The unique relation of this nation to God is presented under the figure of a vineyard (v, 1). 3. God’s peculiar favor shown (v, 2). God did for this nation what lie did for no other nation In the history of the world. a. lie "fenced it” when he assigned the boundaries of Israel’s Inheritance (see Num, 34:1-13). b. He "gathered out the stones there­ of” when the Canannltes were ex­ terminated. c. He "planted It with the choicest vine" when the Isruelitlsh nation, which had gone through the disci pllnarj/ process In Egyptian bondage, was placed therein, d. He "built a tower In the midst of it” when under David Jerusalem was made the capital city. e. He “made a winepress therein" when the temple built by"Solonion be­ came the fixed place of worship for tile nation. , 2.. The obligation 'o f the nation (v.. 2 ). "He looked that 'It should bring forth grapes." . The word looked ex­ presses the Idea, not only of desire, lint of expectation, 3. The divine disappointment (vv. 3, 1). "It brought forth wild grapes.” Instead of sweet,'•luscious grapes, they bore grapes of a sour and un­ wholesome kind. 4. The desolation of the vineyard (vv. 0-7). Since all efforts had been wasted, the owner of the vineyard purposes to take away the fences and leave it to be exposed to the wild beasts to waste and devour. II. The Sins Which Brought Ruin to Israel (vv. 8-23). 1. Monopoly and oppression (vv. 8- 10). The crime against which the first woe was denounced was that of the avaricious grasping after property which leads, to the accumulation of wealth in the.hands of the few. This state, of affairs met God's Judgment In laden (vv. 0, 10). as one day It shall likewise do in America. 2. Dissipation (vv. 11-17). The par­ ticular sin denounced here is that of drunkenness. How we shudder to con­ template what God may do to America as she brings back liquor! This sin is never alone. n. Drinking made the life-business nf some (v. 11). They get up early In rhe morning and continue until late at night. A duplication of this will soon be seen in nil of our American cities. b. A show of refinement (v. 12). Hie saloon mid brothel always have music. Pleasing music was always heard pouring forth from the infa­ mous saloon. The prostitution of music has led mafiy an unsuspecting youth into the way. of sin. c. Blindness to God’s warnings and judgments (v. 12). Drinking and dis­ sipation render men insensible to God’s dealings. ' ' d. God’s judgments for such sin (vv. 13-17). The people were carried Into captivity. Not only would they go into captivity, but there was great mortality among the drunkards (V..14). The records everywhere show a much higher death rate among drinking men than among abstainers. Drinking de­ grades all classes (v. 15), The rich and mighty men are brought down with the poor and humble. Even the country itself was made desolate (v. 17). 3. Unbelief (vv. 18,10). Tills woe Is denounced against the sinner who pre­ sumptuously plunges Into vice. He is not overtaken with siu, but deliber­ ately goes after it and works at it. lie becomes so daring as to defy the Judgments of the Almighty (v. 10). 4. Mornl confusion (v. 20). Tills woe is pronounced against those who fry to adjust mornl conditions to suit iltelr sensual appetites. 5. Conceit (v. 21). The fifth woe Is pronounced nguins' the sin of self- conceit, 0, Perversion of Justice (vv, 22, 23). Die sixth woe is pronounced against judges who, because of a Inch o f ‘moral discrimination, and the desire for temporal gain, enufle justice to mis­ carry. III. Predicted Judgment (vv. 24-30). The historic fulfillment of these predictions nre but types of the se­ vere ones which are to follow.

Both the Governor and Education Director protested such a cut and the two voted for a seventy-five per cent limit with Myers holding out for fifty per cent. The Governor and his entire administration have opposed Myers and endeavored to hamper him as Secretary of State where ever pos­ sible, although all are Democrats. Keep your weather-eye on Myers in the future. We do not believe the electors of Ohio will forget him when it comes to marking ballots at the polls. The Governor may find it dif­ ferent when and if he announces for United States Senator. witnessed at night. The lighting ef­ fect surpasses anything ever at­ tempted. However if you have fallen arches and troublesome corns better reserve a wheeled chair. County Commissioner Chester Jacobs tells us that his neighborhood on the Dayton-Xenia pike has not had a soaking rain since last May. As a result pastures are burned out and !growing crops have suffered. We are more fortunate here hut dry enough. We noticed on a trip to Oxford a few idays ago a strip of about twenty miles crops were fine, corn high as your head and in tassle. Gardens looked fresh and green. Around Ox­ ford it was a different story. Crops suffering for rain. A committee of the Ohio Senate is conducting an investigation in bank­ ing conditions in Cleveland, so far as state banks are concerned. Some serious charges have been made against the Ohio State Bank Depart­ ment in permitting the Union Trust and Guardian Trust Companies to re­ main open months after they were insolvent. Depositors will loose many millions. Those who know something of bank conditions in Ohio say the state is very lame on laws govern­ ing state banks and that the hanking department is not clothed with proper authority to enforce regulations. Why such laws have not been enacted is answered that state hanks have had a lobby about the legislature to keep proper laws being enacted. Madison county reports a wave of Chinch bugs that attack corn as well as other green crops. Logan and Champaign counties are also suffer­ ing from tho pest. •The best method reported to combat the bugs is a strip of tar around-the corn field. It is said the bugs will not cross it and they do not fly. Only a few reports have come to light in this county. to have been enforced in scores of eases. Not only children but youths and men o f mature years have had to pay a high price for their liberty. Even one of the so-called racketeers in Chicago fell into tho hands of another gang that demanded ransom for liberty. What is tho cause of all this kidnapping? Most everyone has an answer but the motion picture in­ dustry is being charged with laying the foundation for the craze. There is no doubt that hundreds o f pictures have a background that could be de­ veloped into most any sort of crime, The reflection on Ohio is that all mo­ tion pictures are supposed to be licensed after being approved by a department under the State Director of Education. We often wonder whether much consideration is given when licenses are granted. , out about the economy plan up vrent complaints that reached Washington, Thus you have the situation when you go to reduce government costs. Each city wants tho reduction made some­ place else. Dayton is the closest town affected and the weather office is to be turned over to the Miami Con- ' ser-aney District for recording tom- 1perature and rainfall. With the radio and newspaper announcing tho ,weather daily and communication much quicker than in years past, many of these offices will never be missed when closed, And then you cannot reduce until you reduce. Workmen wei;e engaged Monday in removing the big vault doors in the room formerly occupied by the Com­ mercial and Savings Bank in Xenia. Fixtures had been removed and what once appeared as a modern outfit for banking purposes had almost disap­ peared. Removing the big vault was like lifting a monument and leaving the spot unmarked. The bank has been in the process, of liquidation and is now nearing the time when it will competely pass into history, un­ fortunate as it is. The past two years has taught hankers and depositors more than in 'any twenty-five years that have passed on.' Perfection has not been reached yet. Guaranteed bank deposits is the first step for safety. The new law in Ohio is compelling proprietors of all barber shops to set their places in order. If the law is not complied with and license granted before September first, the owners of unlicensed shops will be subject to fines. Shops must add much new equipment such as sterilizing equip­ ment, hot and cold running water, two clean towels to each customer. The steam towel heater is outlawed. !3hops must be inspected and licensed. .Barbers must pass examinations. All this is going to call for higher prices, . It will be recalled that Condition of state banks back under the Cooper, administration was the subject of much comment. There was criticism of tho manner in which O. C. Gray, head of the department, conducted affairs, We no doubt are nearing the time when we will have but one bank­ ing system in the United States. The first step being taken by the last Congress in providing for guaranteed bank deposits but this was only pos­ sible to such institutions tha t. are members of the Federal Reserve. Nearly all national banks are' mem­ bers of the Federal Reserve but few state banks are members. Guaranteed bank deposits will require stricter laws and a more thorough inspection •>f banks than we have had in the past. Congressman Steagall, one of the co-authors of, the Glass-Steagall guaranteed banking act,, stated over the radio some nights ago that the law will be widened and also made more drastic at the next session of congress to give depositors more pro­ tection. Press reports say that some o f the largest banks as well as small banks in the country are' endeavoring to break down the law now before it is in operation. The extent to which kidnapping is carried on in recent months is caus­ ing much alarm over the country. Ever since the Lindbergh son was kid­ napped and killed the mania seems The strike of 250 employees at the plant of the Krippendorf-Dittman Co., Xenia, has been settled and all re­ turned to work. The company made a compromise offer which' was ac­ cepted. It is said the company, which is owned in Cincinnati, with several branches in other towns, was never concerned about the future for if the Worst came to the. worst the ma­ chinery would be moved ;from Xenia to another plant. This would have been . heavy blow to Xenia business houses. The federal administration -'has proposed changes in the civil service 'law and o f course trouble can be ex- 'pected, If you want to start some­ thing just tackle the civil service sham that is paraded before the people by politicians. It is the most expensive thing ever proposed and once a politician gets on the pay roll he is usually there for years whether needed or not. No law is more eor-. ruptly enforced or used by either of the major parties than this sham that is only theoretical, has little that is practical, and covers a way to keep politics deep in • public service. Imagine the interview of, the ap­ plicant with the examiner as being fifty per cent of the grade. If the applicant has the necessary political ' committee endorsement with fifty per cent of the grade assured, the ap­ plicant with qualifications and no en­ dorsement stands little chance of even being one of the first three to be recommended. The government in order to reduce expenses had a set plan to close a number of offices in various cities. Local weather bureau offices were in the list. When the word was sent Attorney General John W. Bricker has just rendered an opinion that, failure to pay personal property taxes due, calls for a penalty o f fifty per cent. With a penalty on the second non-payment, Ohio counties may be engaged in all kinds of 'business. The attorney general has also .ruled that school boards may purchase liability insurance on school busses. 10c Toilet Paper 5 Rolls—25c Week End Special at Brown's Drugs Week--End Specials BROWN’S DRUG STORE 60c Odorono - - „■* - 15c Twink Dye Soap, All colors - •- ■ - 10c Toilet Paper, 5 rolls - - 50c Palmolive Shampoo - - - Vz Price Bulk Garden Seeds To Clean Them Out 39c The manner in which our political statesmen are jumping the wet band­ wagon or . at least remaining nom committal on the 18th amendment repeal proposition is amusing to us.

The can­ didate that offers his candidacy strict­ ly on the prohibition question, would be judged a fit person for the asylum. a n d B A R N Reports are sifting over the Seven­ th Congressional District the past two weeks that former Secretary of State, Clarence J. Brown, is being talked about as a possible candidate for congress in this district. Brown's most intimate friehds have no part in spreading the reports and it is hinted that certain so-called state politicians, interested in the Republi­ can governorship nomination, would like to see the way cleared for an un­ named candidate for that nomination. The peculiar feature is that three of the state politicians connected with this movement have always been back of Congressman Marshall. They would sidetrack the one term con­ gressman to get Brown out of the governorship contest. At that we hear these leaders have gone so far as to put Clinton, Warren, Madison, Fayette, Clark and Union counties as certain for Brown. This would leave only Greene, Union and Logan for Marshall, Our guess is that Brown will be in the governorship contest. If he should be influenced to go after the congressional honors the band­ wagon would not hold all the jumpers. PAINT!
