We have no serious objections to military training in the University or any other school. No doubt there is need for some quoted in the open market jit the start at 80. If a holder o f such bonds was forced to sell he would have had such training for numerous youths that they may develop to take a twenty dollar loss on each not only discipline but improve their physical well being. We do object to compulsory military training for two reasons, one is that the movement is supported largely by the shotgijn and power interests that have no other interest ip military training than to provide military fodder for improved war implements. Another is that our leading universities in the country have dropped the compulsory idea for various reasons. A neigh­ boring state, Michigan, supports a university that in many re­ spects outranks Ohio State and such training is not compulsory, and yet we are told that' even this year Michigan has the larg­ est military organization in the history of the school. It was only a few months, ago that the M. E. Conference took action against compulsory military training. Church or­ ganizations, Y. M. C. A ’s, and other religious bodies have pro­ tested in all parts of the State. Pulpits in Ohio thundered loud protests Sunday against the action of Ohio State University authorities but this will mean nothing and only fall on deaf ears. The appeal of the church people of Ohio offering such a protest would be like pouring water on a duck’s back. If Ohio was to look for religious “ conscience” it could not be found at Ohio State either among a large percent of the faculty or the board of trustees. In fact the institution is devoid of any religious training and the Sabbath or Sunday is just another day in the weeki . Ohio State is regarded the leading educational institution in the state and has been blessed with millions of dollars of the taxpayer’s money at the hands of the legislature. It might be cruel to allude but the only avenue of approach to what is termed “ conscience” at the university would be to threaten to further reduce its income. If the chuteh leaders wish to bring pressure it should be done through the representatives and senators in the Ohio legislature. Church sermons, orations or the most fervent prayer would have about as much weight at the University as if a prayer book had been cast into a firey furnace. , ANTI TRUST LAWS ARE NECESSARY One of the greatest weakness of the NRA is the fact that provisions of the anti-trust laws have been shelved much to the detriment of the consumers in. this country. Senator Borah will demand that congress at once correct, this mistake so that illegal combinations can be broken up or face the penal­ ty of the anti-trust laws. !■ Great corporations have-taken advantage of thoe NRA pro­ visions and are using every means possible to push small com­ petitors, out of the field. By codes restrictions have been made so expensive that small business is finding . it hard to-exist. Prices on every day commodities in many cases are out of reason. ■They have been advanced far in excess of what the average consumer can afford to pay. iso better example can be sighted than what applies to dressed meats and dairy products. Live stock and milk are at the bottom, far below cost to the producer, yet the consumer is paying a higher price today than a year ago. If the admin­ istration does not attempt to correct this situation soon there is no doubt tas to the result. Cities are living at the expense of the rural districts but continuation of the present plan will eventually wreck every effort being made to overcome the depression. hundred. The bonds later increased in the market to 83 and then 86 where they stood for several weeks. Upon the announcement that Uncle Sam might secure them on par with Liberty bands they immediately went up to 91; If such a law is passed guaranteeing the bonds they will go to par. IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO CONGRESS One of the most important messages yet sent to Congress by President Roosevelt was on Wednesday when he urged that bonds issued to give relief to both home and farm owners be guaranteed by the government. >• The previous law provided for issuing such bonds and the government guaranteed the interest for eighteen years but the only security back of the bonds were the mortgaged properties in homes and farms. Investors did not took on the security of the bonds as sufficient especially when some future congress might enact a law making them worthless. Guaranteeing interest for eighteen years was all right but if the bonds ran longer and were not paid who then would pay the interest after that time? . Financial institutions were reluctant to accept the "first The management o f the Home. Own er’s Loan Corporation again last week gave the press a notice that only property that was the bonlfide residence o f the owner and was in distress on June 13, 1933, would be in line for a loan. The corporation has discovered that many owners o f prop- city under mortgage were wilfully holding back on interest payment, in­ surance and taxes, thinking they can get cheaper government money. The notices not only included,loans to in­ dividuals who hold mortgages, but building and loans, savings banks and insurance companies. ■There has been general complaint that mortgagors were purposely defaulting but could receive no consideration for govern­ ment loans, The notice was sent out from headquarters in Washington. For months we have been hearing much o f the so-called brain-trust down in Washington where the Roose- /velt administration has, called in professors from various universities in the country for advice on economic questions. Many look pn plans out­ lined by the brain-trust as not only radical but dangerous. Especially is this so with the old line conservative Republican. Colleges and univers­ ities have for years past received mil­ lions o f dollars from wealthy business men to establish various chairs and develop young men for various, sta­ tions in the industrial field. One wealthy newspaper publisher a few years ago gave several hundred thou­ sand dollars to a leading university to develop professors along economic lines. Today some o f these profes- ois are now connected with the gov­ ernment giving advice that is far from satisfactory to the donor. He' has had enough o f the brain trust idea and has authorized hiB trust fund discontinued for special training of professors and it is to be used in the future in connection with the general endowment fund. My, how .the aver age American can change his -mind, especially after you get What you thought you wanted only to find that you have.what you do hot want. ] One cannot help but sympathize |with the milk producers that keep up j the constant fight in various sections o f the country to get a decent price for milk. Trouble has broken out again in the Chicago district and un­ usual methods are being used to stop the shipment o f milk into that city. Several hundred thousand gallons were confiscated and dumped at the road side in one day. It is claimed milk producers were unable to take a profit on the prevailing price yet distributors forced a new low price that quickly brought about the strike and farmers joined to keep milk out Recent in­ vestigations showed the dealers were taking a big profit, the consumers paying a high price and the farmers getting little or nothing fo r their labor or investment. The milk situa­ tion is controlled by the milk trust that covers almost the entire nation. Some states have passed laws provid­ ing for a milk commission to set prices to producer and consumer and Ohio has a similar law passed by a former legislature. The complaint that arises now is that the milk com­ missions are being dominated by rep­ resentatives of the milk trust in several states. More )nilk delivered in the hog lot to feeders will save much on the purchase o f mixed feeds. At the same time the milk trust can not take huge profits if production is reduced. Any kind o f a trust niust have the volumn of business to suc­ ceed. senate restaurant and if the people • knew the facts about it there would j be hell raised. Probably it was the ! Brown contracts and the restaurant * shortage that caused Senator FesB to believe the country was going to hell. SUIT ON ACCOUNT C. H.

Smith. A wealthy New Yorker had contributed large sums to the campaign fund under the direc­ tion o f Cannon. In as much as no post election expense account was filed as required by law, investiga­ tion was started which resulted in the indictment of both Cannon and his stenographer. Cannon claimed the law was unconstitutional and did not apply to his organization but the court now holds that he myst stand trial. The Ohio Anti-Saloon League has ignored the filing o f expense ac­ counts in connection! with political campaigns for many years. Why such organizations or even a Bishop should hold themselves above the law is more than most people could under­ stand. If their campaign had been properly conducted there should be nothing to conceaL Again the weight o f their appeal for law ob­ servance was df little effect -when they refused to recognize the elec­ tion laws. •’ Farmers will find it a simpler job to select their fertilizers if the code o f fair competition adopted by the fertilizer industry meets, with the ap­ proval o f the NRA. For the corn-belt States the long, confusing list o f fertilizers available w ill" be reduced to 16 standard analyses, according to R. M. Salter, chairman o f the department of agro­ nomy at the Ohio State University, The list was, prepared by represent­ atives o f the fertilizer industry who met with’ agronomists o f the various agricultural colleges in the corn-belt. It is expected that, with fewer ana­ lyses to manufacture, the fertilizer handlers and manufacturers, as well as the farmer, will benefit. Of the 16 analyses about 10 are especially suitable to Ohio conditions, says Professor Salter. The following formulas, expressed in percentage o f nitrogen, phos­ phoric acid, and potash, in that order, are expected to be most popular in Ohio: 4:28:8; 2:12:6; 4:24:12; 4:10:6; 2:8:16; 0:12:12; 0:8:24; 0:20:0, and 0:44:0, No restrictions are placed on the sale o f pure fertilizer materials other than superphosphates. The regula­ tions apply mainly to mixed fertilizer goods.

He has taken on obliga­ tions for millions o f bushels of wheat by crop reduction and an extensive corn and hog program, is ready to be i put in force. As a result of invading , the corn fields Uncle is aiding the railroads and the lumber inferebts • for all this corn on which he is loan* j ing farmers 45 cents a bushel must j be stored in cribs and placed under lock and key. We read a report that covers government action in Nebras­ ka, Iowa, and Kansas and South Dakota. In Nebraska 10,000 new erifcs arc under, construction; 30,000 in Iowa and Kansas. A crib nearly a •mile long is under construction near Greenwood, Neb. While in Sac county, Iowa, Robert Adams has crib­ bed 300,000 bushels. In those states corn is selling at 20 cents a bushel so farmers are taking the government plan o f 45 cents. In November the Union Pacific railroad brought 1,484 cars o f lumber from the Pacific coast for crib erection in Nebraska alone. In December 1,588 cars o f crib lumber. Nebraska will crib 80,000,000 bushels o f corn and Iowa 150 million bushels. It looks now like the nation was as­ sured o f corn liquor, johnny (takes, corn pone and mush, Years ago when one talked In mil­ lions everyone wondered just what that could be. Today we talk in bil­ lions just as if it was a few score, dozen. Talk o f selling the nation ten billion in bonds is taken for granted and we have the belief that such can be accomplished as easy today* as it was to sell fifteen billions to Ameri­ can "investors in two years o f the World War, We started out to make a comparison o f billions and find out that we have had 1,017.206,640 minu­ tes since the birth o f Christ. Count­ ing 1440 minutes in a day for 36514 days you have 625,960 minutes in a year. Multiply this by 1934 years and you get the above result in minutes since the birth o f Christ. With individuals and financial in­ stitutions holding ten billion in gov­ ernment bonds, rum-taxable as gov­ ernment bonds must be, and you may have to hunt some time to find money ’■ enough to change a ten dollar bill. We are going through a period much the same as in the nineties when everyone boosted the famous bond issue. Paying debts with more debts never has worked in the past but everyone seems to be in a mood to try anything once, win or fail. The Houstonia Farmii, known as Orelton Farms, owned by the Proctor interests in Cincinnati, also owner of the Obekasat Farms in this county, are undergoing big improvements. The 4800 acre tract is being refenced and more than 16 miles o f fence have now been erected. White cedar posts were used, Several buildings have !>ecn moved and four tenant houses are being modernized with furnace, bath, and ,private w.atcr systems. A new cement block implement shed 100 by 40 is being erected to house tbo farm machinery. REPORT OF SALE Monday, January 8, 1934 The Springfield Live Stock Sales Co.
