CEDARVILLE HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1033 __ ^ ............ t h e w h e a t r e d u c t io n PLAN Now that farmers have heard first hand the Btory of what is asked towards reducing wheat acerage in this country, they must decide for themselves what course they will follow. As the plan is new and untried there naturally is some question and also some difference of opinion as to whether the -plan will do what is expected of it. Of course no one knows for Bure what the answer will be until it is tried, it does appear that reducing acerage should result in curtailing the next crop and bring a higher price. When the market for a certain manufactured article is overloaded the manufacturer does the natural and sensible thing in closing down. This helps stimu­ late the market and the same plan should work for wheat growers. 51 But this proposed plan will not bring relief unless all or at least the largest per cent of wheat growers cooperate in the movement. To cut down acerage and yet fertilize and seed heavy to get the same total as in years past from the smaller acerage will not help. . The one sensible thing about the wheat plan offered is that no one is to be forced to join in this movement. If farm­ ers want to try the plan the government will compensate them. No one knows yet what the government will require at harvest time next season when it comes to selling a crop that has not been produced under the reduced acerage plan. If elevators and wheat buyers are to be licensed there may be a plan where­ by only wheat from the contract farms will be received first. Each farmer evidently must decide for himself as to the next wheat crop. WHAT HERALD-TRIBUNE THINKS Now that nerves are steadying in Washington and directors of recovery Campaigns are once more taking a night’s sleep, the country, too, can sit down for a little quiet reflection. It needs it, There has been enough wild talk in Washing­ ton in recent weeks to frazzle the nerves of the sanest people. Part of the excitement was necessary if the- administration’s effort to install a five-year plan in five weeks was to go through. Part of it was the excitement of ballyhoo—the gesticulations of ‘ cheer leaders who felt that the best way to help was to frighten the wits out of their listeners. “If this plan doesn’t go through we’ll ail be out in the park eating acorns next winter.” That was the theme song of these ardent souls, It was bad psychology, for fear never led any people to do anything well. Fortunately, not many Americans were greatly impressed by these extravagant appeals. As sanity returns at Washington there evidently need be no fear of the good sense of the . rest of the country. It will carry on regardless. - We are sure that President Roosevelt is in thorough sym­ pathy with the view that, in the end, only the people can save themselves. He said as much in his radio speech. The NRA may achieve a superb success—beyond the hopes of its strong­ est supporters. I t may achieve a moderate success. It may fail utterly. In any case, the American people will not fail. They will carry on to the better times and happier days that are inevtiably returning to every people who have the courage to stand fast in the face of disaster.—N. Y. Herald Tribune. CXDARVIIXK HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1935 mrr-i—i i . 1 . . ,, AN EXPENSIVE LESSON The future of governraent-in-biisiness is not so bright, as it seemed awhile ago. - ' ■ The people have discovered something. They have found tha t the only way their community can build, for example, a power plant, is to float a bond issue. They have found that this requires vast sums of additional tax money—laid on top of already onerous taxes, They have found, too, that when such technical endeavors as power plants are operated by politics, deficits custormarily occur. These, as well, must be paid by the people through increased taxes. Again, they have found that bookkeeping for a publicly owned utility, not subject to public regulation, is of a curious sort, pleasant reports are issued, which take little or no ac­ count of overhead, depreciation, wear and tear. When the time comes for replacement of broken-down machinery, there is usually no money in the till—and the taxpayer is again called upon. People are learning by dear experience that when govern­ ment goes into business in competition with its citizens, they have lost, not gained—that such service furnished them, “at, cost,” means generally “at cost” to their own pocketbooks. The proponents of schemes to put government into business never put up the money. They put lip the “spiel” to obligate the tax­ payer, and then they absbrb tax funds through countless new. jobs.-—Geauga Republican Record, Chardon, Ohio. . HENRY FORD AND THE N. R. A. 1 V ^ . . The business world is awaiting breathless as to the out­ come between the N. R. A. under General Johnson and Henry Ford. So far Ford has not signed the code for automobile manufacturers and refuses to join the automobile trade association. In fact he has never been connected with any trade organization. Ford was the pioneer in high wages to labor in this country and yet pays'more for the same class of labor than other automobile manufacturer. Reports are in circulation that Ford is yet to announce a higher scale of wages to his employees, which if done will make the wages set in the code rather low, if not rediculous. It is hinted that official Washington is worried over Ford’s attitude, yet General Johson is making strong claims as to what will be done if the auto magnet does not sign. Two things have been insisted on by Ford throughout his successful career; first that he would not be dominated by Wall street banking interests; second, that he would not recognize he must bargain with the union. any union and operate an open shop. Under the code adopted The success of the N. R.^A. depends entirely on public sentiment, but the idea of boycott and threats on the part of either the public or the administrators of the code idea, will never stand a lasting test with the American people. On General Johnson’s board sits President SlOan of the General Motors Company and this probably does not lend en­ couragement to Ford to step up and sign. He hardly would want to put his business under the direction of one of his competitors. Evidently much depends on the attitude of Ford in the N. R. A. campaign. If he refuses to sign and announces a higher scale of wages, public sentiment will back him. He could if he desired propose a plan of the government accepting either the higher wage scale or close down his plank This would throw more than 100,000 employees out of employment and the government has no power to compel Ford to again open his plant. If Ford refuses to accept the automobile code aild sign up und£r the N. R. A. the outcome of the campaign will be in doubt fo t there is no denying fires ate smoldering under the code rules In more than one industry. People buy advertised products with confidence and are seldom disappointed. Advertisements give you a new conception of what you’d like to own, , Some men are successful chiefly because they didn’t have the advantages others had. An optimist is one who sees opportunity In difficulties; a pessimist is one who sees difficulties in opportunities. w g m m m ?

I Sam, 71:7, PRIMARY TOPIC—A Shepherd BOV. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Shepherd Boy Who Became King. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP­ IC—Why David Was Chosen King, T O U N G PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­ IC—The Secret of True Greatness. I. David, the Shepherd Boy (I Sam. 16:11-13; 17:34-37). As a young man he was engaged In keeping his father's sheep. Such a life might have fended to Indolence, hut It proved otherwise with David. Ite became athletic. As he himself tells us, In the defense of his father's sheep he slew a Uon and a bear. RIs mu­ sicianship had brought him such fame as to be called to play at the royal court Then, too, he had become such an expert marksman as to throw his stone to fell the.Philistine giant. II. David Anointed King (16:1-13). 1. Samuel sent to anoint David (vv. 1-3). The situation was delicate, Saul had become a desperate charac­ ter. For the divine commission to be- come known to Saul, therefore, would Imperil Samuel’s life. 2. The method of selection (w. 6-12). The Lord had made, known to Samuel that one of Jesse’s sorts was to be the king, but not the particular one. All but one of Jesse’s sons had been looked upon, and still, the Lord’s choice bad not appeared, When the shepherd lad appealed before Samuel, the Lord Indicated his choice. When the oil Was applied the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. III. David, a King Without a King­ dom. While Saul was rejected, the time had not yet come for David to be head of the nation. He needed much train­ ing hefore assuming such responsibil­ ity. Then, too, the evil Influences In­ augurated by Saul needed time for de­ velopment so as to be properly dis­ cerned and controlled, , 1. David’s life a t the royal court (I Sam. 17-20). ’ a. He was called ns a musician to minister before the king (chapa 16- 23). b. Victory over Goliath (chap. 17) Tbe armies of Saul and the Philistines were arrayed against each other; . Ac­ cording to an ancient custom, the Issue was to be determined by.*, combat be­ tween two selected champions. The nation whose champion was victorious was to rule. The Philistine champion was Goliath, the giant,' The alght of Israel's- cowardice prompted David to otter Ills service.' When Goliath be­ held David coming against him, he nursed him by his gods, showing that It was not merely a battle, between David and Goliath, but between false gods and the true God, c. Friendship with Jonathan (chap. 18). This friendship has become im­ mortalized In the world’s thought. It was unique in that it occurred be­ tween two men of rival worldly Inter­ ests. Jonathan was the crown prince, and therefore heir to the throne. Da­ vid was heir according to the divine plan. Jonathan knew this and waived his rights to the one whom God i had chosen, In the establishment of the covenant .between them, Jonathan stripped himself of his coat, robe, and equipment, giving them to David. This meant a virtual abdication of the throne to David, As a friend, Jona­ than— (1) Defended David from Saul’s frenzy (10:1-7), (2) .Revealed to David Saul’s mur­ derous Intent (20:30-40). - 2. David’s life ns an outcast. Chap­ ters 21 to 31 describe David’s life be tween his being driven out from the presence of Saul and Ills being estab­ lished king. The praise accorded him following the victory over Goliath pro­ voked such violent Jealousy In the heart of Saul that he sought to kill David. To escape Saul’s wrath he (led the country and feigned madness. IV. David Made King (II Sam. 2:144' 5:1-5). 1. Over Judah (II Sam. 2:1-14). Up- on the death of Saul, God directed David to proceed to Hebron and he was there anointed king over Judah. 2. Over Israel (II Sam. 5:1-5). Aft­ er the death of Ishbosheth, the chfl* dren of Israel came and formed a league with David, anointing him as their king. They assigned as their reasons: a, He was their brother. ' b. He was their leader in war, c. He was the Lord's choice.

The Gov­ ernor needs a little more backbone, if not a new one, in handling this problem. We he*r some rumblings about the rate fo r insurance under the mutual plan which many property owners in this section carry protection. The mutual company has had an unusual number of heavy tosses the past year which naturally has made the assess­ ment much higher than in former years. When there have been low losses each year the rates were much uhder the rates of what is krtown as the “old line Stock companies.” The mutual patrons receiving their as sessment notice* the past week were much surprised when called upon for the higher rates., which gives all a chance to consider the “law of aver­ ages.” More than one Democrat in Ohio is nursing a sore head,' and yet, has not felt the blow from the policeman’s club.

Smith several nights ago. He urged Sup­ port of the movement and cooperation for the experiment tliat would lead us to prosperity* “Support of the program, he said commits no one to a blanket approval of objectionable methods employed in the campaign.” He said further; “Threats, intimida­ tion, compulsion, boycotts, blacklists and suppression o f opinion have no rightful place in the picture.” The trend of his address was that con­ servative leadership must predomin­ ate over force. “Al“ has been on the air many times discussing many issues but he never yet has displayed the conservative tone of opinion so necessary today as he did in his last public utterance. In a Democratic form of govern­ ment carried out by one of two dom­ inant political parties there naturally is division along political lines among the common citizen* as to how this or that program will work. The line of political demarcation is bound to show itself, radical partisans always ready to oppose what the other party proposes. This can be expected when it has not been so many years ago that even our churches were governed by the faith of one or the other of the political parties, depending on the geographical location that divided the republic, While we will have for some years to come a t least two dom­ inant political parties, the shift to the independent column among the mil* lions of younger voters, is going to make the power of the two old parties uncertain a t the polls. Those who have not followed the NRA movement closely and been close touch with the code mpvemei among different industries, hardly can conclave what is to come nex t It is the greatest undertaking in the history of any nation, in fact probably no other country could undertake such a venture and hope for success. Even those responsible fo r the NRA do not guarantee 106 par cent success, real­ izing it must have the cooperation all the people.
