HABCH 8,~t9gg~V" ~ / LOWER PASSENGER FARES IN SIGHT The notion o f the Interstate Commerce Commission in ordering nil railroad passenger fares reduced from 8.® cents a mile to 2 cents, is. a step towards progress and with the kind o f business that should guide the railroads, we should once more see the railroads on the profit side of the ledger. There has been no question but that the railroads have faced serious problems, let alone competition that has all but wrecked a complete network f<|r transportation. ^ ' *_ The railroads had. hardly got on their feet following dis­ ruption of service and management as a result of government operation during the World War, until they faced the depression. In the meantime, new competition arose in the form of the motor truck, the passenger bus and the modern automobile. Rather than look ahead, rail management., seemed content to drift with the tide, and were all but washed out to sea beyond even government aid. The largest growth and strength of our railroads was during the period when*a two cent fare was in force. Higher fares drove millions each year to travel behind motor power. With two cent passenger fares, and reduced freight rates, we can once more hope to’see business go by rail. If so much of our motor traffic problems have been solved. Lower freight rates will take the freight trucks, from the highways which are now built and maintained largely by taxes collected on gasoline used on privately owned automobiles. y TIME CERTAIN FOR CHANGE AT COLUMBUS The tangled situation between the two legislative houses in Columbus in which both have more-*or less adjourned, yet evidently not officially, as adjournment must be jointly but as matters stand each has a different date. Lack of leadership with the administration and the weak­ ness of House management under Speaker Bittinger has made a mess of. public affairs in the state such as all citizen's should be ashamed of in this day and age. Both branches are under Democratic control yet we must confess the Senate has acted more in reason and with courage to advance the best interests of the state. Majority Leader, Sen, Paul Yoder, has refused to let the upper branch drift along in a shiftless manner with petty politics the main objective. In this branch the Republican Senators have many times stood with their Democratic colleagues, and more than once leaders on each side of the party fence joined hands in advancing justi­ fiable legislation and smothehing with defeat many bills passed by the House that had no merit whatever. Bittinger is to be the Davey candidate for lieutenant gov­ ernor and his record as presiding officer of the House,is not one that could possibly'bring'much- credit to the state. Sen. Yoder announced some weeks ago as a candidate for lieutenant gov­ ernor in the Democratic primary. He deserves the active sup­ port of Ohio Democrats as well as the. passive support in his campaign by all Republicans. STICK TO YOUR LAST Agricultural cooperation is an indefinite term. But basically it means the selling of farm products through •farmer-owned and controlled central organizations.. This is sound cooperation, based on definite business principled of proyen worth, that" can do a great deal for farm prosperity and stability. But where it is distorted to tempt farmers into fields which are in no way connected with fanning, Old Man Trouble has things his own way. Failure—expensive, often ruinous failure -—is usually the result. And the unhappy example of such a failure endangers the whole farm cooperative movement, the true purpose of which is to improve farm production and sales methods. i “ Stick to your last” applies to industrialists, shop-keepers, farmers and everyone else* as well as the shoe maker. Ex­ periments in somebody else’s business are almost inevitably a short cut to bankruptcy. Y O U R B E S T CATTLE MARKET Sale Every Monday SPRINGFIELD LIVE STOCK SALES CO.

The law says June hut Roosevelt says it will hot be before July. As his word superceods any law congress might pass, veterans win not be spending bonus money very soon. Now we hear that Roose­ velt set July to escape a government statement on fiances as of June 30, which would show the administration deficit'less many millions what it will be on completion o f the bonus pay­ ment. Millions of bonds must be print- by the government and this cannot be done in , any ninety days. Moreover some three and vne^half million checks for amounts less than fifty dollars must be signed and this will require another three months, Each month that Roosevelt delays mailing the bonus bonds and checks means just that much longer the tjrait for the veterans. Candidates for the honor of highest paid authors in the world., are the writers who:couldn't find a job until Hairy L.

Meantime a walking delegate from Roosevelt head­ quarters seeks settlement of tine strike for the strikers, rather than give aid to men who are satisfied 'with hours of labor and rate of pay. It is no wonder President Green o f the Ameri­ can, Federation o f labor reports that unemployment now numbers more than 12 million, and increase o f about 3 million the past three months. * 9 m m m m §jLi•M Cbiiinn TELEPHONE— 3 Smith Miller St. C.darvilU, O, Use Spring Tonics Op Winter Clothes Winter clothes and also their own­ ers get a new lease on life if the garments are given the benefit of a spring tonic consisting of equal parts cleaning, -minor repairs, and slight alterations. This period between the blasts of niitlwinber^and Che’ warm"breezes of spring is.!a..tjine: of discontent for wo­ men Avho ‘fean&'to 'b e ' well dressed. Winter outfits are more or less worn and soiled and it is too early to sally forth in lighter clothes. Gleaning fluids and a little feminine ingenuity are the wonder workers recommended by Edna M. Callahan, clothing special­ ist, Ohio State University, for improv­ ing the morale of winter garments land their wearers. I A good brushing with a medium ] stiff brush should precede any dry {cleaning operations. The pockets of coats should be fumed inside out and the garment should be brushed, with the nap of the fabric, both inside and out. Special attention should be given ‘ to the collar, cuffs, seams, and any ' bands Of trimming. The cleaner selected should be non- inflammable and lion-explosive. Damp­ en a cloth with the cleaner and brush t soiled spots on tho fabric. The brush­ ing should be always in one direction or rings will be left on the material. Fur collars can be cleaned by moisten­ ing com meal or sawdust with the cleaner and rubbing it,gently Into the fur. ThO cleaner is then* removed from the fur by shaking or whipping gently with a smooth stick, vCoat linings Will usually need , some minor repairs, either patches for worn places o r sewing up of ripped seams.. Loose buttons should .be re­ moved and “ re-attached.”f Buttons should no the sewn tight to the coat but should be provided with a thread shank which permits them to stand away from the fabric. Felt hats can be cleaned and any holes can be,darned with cotton that matches the color of the hat. A dry rubber bath sponge makes a good hat cleaner and greasy marks or spots can be removed with cleaning fluid. A gaily-colored quill or ribbon to the ■hatband can be used to brighten its appearance.

How to Inherit Eternal Life <w. 25-28). L Thu lawyer’s question (v. 25). T|ie term ?'lawyer’' here means “ one versed In religious Inw, the. Scrip­ tures,” not “lawyer" In our modern sense of that .term. It more nearly corresponds to our theological pro­ fessor. The lawyer’s object was to trip Jesus, to Induce him to take such a stand as would weaken Ids influence as a teacher. 2. Jesus’ question (v, 28). "What Is written la the law?' He sent him to the law, the field which was fa­ miliar to him. Jesus thus robbed him of his own weapon. Though Jesus knew the motive of the lawyer, he did not evade ills question. 3.. The lawyer’s"reply <v. 27). He made an intelligent answer, declaring that the entire content of the law-'was embraced In love to God and man. 4. Jesus’ reply (v. 28). The straight­ forward answer went to the heart of the lawyer. Perfect love to God and man is truly the way of life. No man has yet had or can’ Jiave such love. -His sinful condition precludes its pos­ sibility. The lawyer keenly felt this thrust, He was defeated on his own grounds and, the 'fore, convicted of guilt II. “Who Is My Neighbor?” <vv, 20-37). 1. The lawyer’s question (v. 29). “Who Is my neighbor?" This, question reveals the Insincerity of the lawyer. Christ’s answer had reached. Ills con­ science and now he seeks tn escape the difficulty by asking a captious question. 2. Jesus’ . answer (vv. 30-37). Jesus' reply more' than answered the lawyer’s. questlOib In tlie parable of the Good Samaritan he makes dear who Is a neighbor, anti also .ivluit It mean to be a neighbor and whnt lov­ ing a neighbor means. Christ’s an swer had a double meaning. He no: only made clear “Who la my neighbor,” buf also that th'6|tawyer..wu$ not play­ ing the-neighbor;. - a. This 'destitute and Wounded man, left on the wayside- by the robbers, Is a man who 'needs a neighbor. My neighbor, tberofcjre, Ir the one wh > needs my help, Whether lie lives next door, or on the other side of the world. Love doe? not regard locality, nationality, or blood relation. Those who have the spirit of Christ can see their neighbors onjjvet-y hand. b. What being a neighbor means. Our supreme consideration should no; be, "Who is my neighbor?" but “Whose neighbor am I?” To be a neighbor is (1). To be on the lookout for those In need of help Tv. 33). Love Is al­ ways on a journey. It Is keen to dis­ cern the needs of those with whom It Is brought Into contact, w w*■ Here is a winter scene on west Xenia avenue that left was best known to the present generation ** t*1® j , ,, ' . .

Christ’s compassion was aroused as lie came Into contact with those who were suffering and In need. Those who are Ghrlstllke will be like­ wise moved.. (8). To give to those In need (v, 34). Love does not calculate the cost ot Its actions. Whenever there Is the calculation of cset there’ Is the ex­ pression of selfishness. Many are will­ ing to give money to help the pom- and needy, but are unwilling personally to minister to them. Many times the personal touch is more Important than the material aid. (4). To bind up wounds, If we have eyes to discern we shall see many wounds about us that need intention. (0). To set the helpless ones on ou<*. beasts while we walk (r, 34), This Is the proof of the genuineness of our love. Those who are like, Christ will deny them’selves In order to Have something to give to those In need.■ (6) . To bring to the Inn and fake care of the unfortunate (v. 34). Gen­ uine love does pot leave Its service Incomplete. Much Christina service is partial, leaving the mnn to take cure of himself. (7) . To give money (v. 35). It costs a good deal to lie a neighbor. Love Is the most expensive thing in the world. It cost God his only Sou; it costJesus Christ Ids life. Goodness r There Is an Idea abroad among moral people that they should make their neighbors good. One person I have to make good; myself. But my duty to my neighbor Is much more nearly expressed by saying that I have to make him happy if I may.

Famous Stage Play, “Tobacco Road,” At Fairbanks, Springfield, Mar. 10 Regarded as the most significant play produced In the American the­ ater In years “Tobacco Road,” which cornea to the Falrbanka The­ ater In Springfield for two per­ formances on 'Tuesday, March 10th is likewise notable 'for the fact •that it is now running in its third year on Broadway. First present­ ed on December 4, !•>!, “Tobacco Road,’’ which was written by Jack Kirkland and based on Erskine Caldwell’s celebrated novel of the same name,- is nearing its 1000th performance's record equalled by only two other plays, .“Lightnin* ” and “Abie’s Irish Rose’’ in the Sa­ tire history of the Americas the­ ater. It has established Kirkland, hitherto known aa a writer of such talking picture stories as "Zoo in Budapest" and “The Gilded Lily” as one of the foremost dramatists of the country and it has added to the fame of Erskine 'Caldwell, who wrote the original story, “Tobacco Road” is a powerful drama of the poor white share­ croppers ot Uie south, relieved with the humor that arises both from character and from situation. Its portrayal of present economic conditions has been judged so au­ thentic that Congress is making a special investigation., with a view to improving the condition of tho penniless tenant farmers. It also has stimulated .the Julius Rosen- wald Fund to set aside a>special sum of money for the same pur­ pose. Its realistic picture ot lito in the back ebuptfy of Georgia has been praised by s&ch outstanding literary figures as Theodore Dreis­ er, George Jean Nathan, Alexander Woollcott, Ctri Van Doren and Stark Young. It Is, primarily, however, a dramatic entertainment. Its story revolving around the household of one of those share­ croppers who knowfOnly sex and religion, whose outlook on life is narrowed by environment and whose' lusty experiences provide much of the humor of tho story, The central figure is a shiftless, philosophic and likeable old repro­ bate, Jeeter Lester, and With him are the members of his household —Ade, the Wife, whose only desire is “a stylish dress to be hurled CHARLES TIMBLIH In” ; their Children, Dude, Pear! and Elite May; and old Grandma Lester who creeps about the place in frightened silence. There also are Sister Bessie Rice, the middle- aged evangelist who Induces the youth, Dude, to marry her by offer­ ing him a new automobile with a horn on it; Lov Bensey, the coal- chute workers Captain Tim, the land owner's son; Henry Peabody* the neighbor* and others.
