It matters not whether the contest entered by representatives of the school are purely educational or on the floor of a gymnasium, Cedarville schools usually take some o f the honors, or at least win recognition, as in the county tournament, courtesy honors. Eleswhere in this issue is a report of the recent state de­ partment of education test and we find a local boy wins first honors over all other schools in the county. What the local school gained this year in this contest was a bit of added praise over what had been won in former years. Of course we are all proud of such records but in the field o f education there.is yet more honors to be gained. There seems to be no end to what can be gained by education. This is just what our forefathers had in mind when they planned for the generations of today. We cannot afford to take a backward step by not keeping step with the progress of the times and we have other new departments in the making that promise great reward in the years to come—manual training and agri­ cultural training, not only how. to plant and reap but how to use tools. In the near future the local board of education will have before you asking for approval of a small bond issue to take care of these new departments. In the light of what the local school, have attained in the recent educational tests, we should make it possible that these young boys and girls have the op­ portunity for fullest development and experience in manual training and the agricultural departments by supporting the bond issue. - ' ILLINOIS PRIMARY GOES FOR COL. KNOX Out of all the bluster of the Landon for president .move­ ment set loose by Wall street and Republican bosses, aided by the liquor interests, Col, Frank Knox, defeated Sen. Borah for the national convention delegates. Tuesday. Illinois being the birthplace of Sen. Borah it was to be expected that he would run the Chicago publisher a close race. Gov. Landon, coming from Kansas a great farm state, also tooted as a dry, finds himself in company with all the wet Republican bosses, the same crowd that sunk Herbert Hoover and his administration. Imagine Landon, a dry with Walter Brown, Ed Schorr, and Bob Taft, W. R. Hearst and the Wall street interests, including the oil magnets of the country. With the Republican nominee carrying the brands of these elements, how can Landon defeat Roosevelt, or how could Frank Knox expect to overcome the stigma of this gang that has used the party in this state for their personal political and business advancement? You have no choice at the primary other than between Taft and Borah. The bosses are using Taft as a stalking horse "1 m ot 1 ........................... to trade for Landon. the coming primary.

When the New Deal was forced to make public some o f the big cheeks paid to individuals and .corporations under the AAA , more trouble wa* laid before the brain-trusters. A Western wheat grower was paid $59,000 for not growing wheat on land rented from poor uneducated Indians, wards o f the government, The rent paid these Indians ranged from 50c to $1.50 an acre, the younger and more edu­ cated received the higher price. The net result was a clear profit o f 7.50 per acre to the wheat grower that received the $50,000. The small whea$ grower in Ohio is in much the same relation as those on relief who were given orders for beans and- sowbelly while Democratic politicians in every- state bossing the relief work drew $5,000 salaries. • But the small wheat grower suffered no more than the small cotton grower, or “ cropper” as he is known in the South. One AAA official as head o f a big- corporation operating several thousand acres o f cotton land was paid $150,000 fo r not growing cotton. Now it becomes public that the company is owfted by English capital, stockholders living across the water living off dividends paid from the AAA New Deal grant. How the New Dealers have sacrificed their blood for the American farmer! I f the Republicans want to start even in . the presidential race they should nominate a Fifth Avenue' Sil­ ver spooner. A scion o f a millionaire family whose parental head placed his entire estate in the hands o f a trust company rather than have the son in his spend-thrift days squander a life­ time saving. We know it will be quite a task for the Republican brethren to find such a candidate. Outside o f a few idle-rich families we do not know that such a candidate could be found. Heads o f most families have always prided themselves and felt it an honor as having a son that could be trusted with the family fortune, rather than designate a trust company as sort o f a guardian'. It will be tough picking for Republicans if they nominate a “ tight-wad” rather than a •spendthrift., Down in Cincinnati more than 500 houses covering sixteen squares on the west side are being wrecked to clear a site fo r .a Roosevelt Com-; monistic experiment, modem hollaing fo r what he terms, the under-privileg­ ed. Many millions wQl be spent in. the new home method o f government ownership. Streets, sewer, gas and electric lin<& must be changed.

Both had to do with the Four-horse team. . The team was driven with a single-line.' A horse to be taught that two or throe slight jerks meant to turn - to- the right, A slight pull meant to turn to the left. A continued pull meant to turn more accutely to -the le ft A good lead horse was highly prized. Thoroughly trained, when “ Whao” was heard, and a heavy load was on, he would swing off to the right four -or five feet; thus giving leverage when ’ starting. I recall hauling a heavy load o f sand up a hill perhaps 250 feet long-—too long unless you rested your horses. Half­ way up, I swung the leaders to the right about five feet and put a stone back o f the near front wheel. It look like the team could not start the load on such a grade.- But that front wheel acted as a pivot as you swung the leaders into the road. The load was started without difficulty and the top was reached without special strain on the horses. Just behind me was a man with a load o f sand, also.- He had a two- horse team. He waited until the road was clear; then he started, slapping with the lines; jumping his arms up and down and his voice going like a fog-horn until the poor horses, reach­ ed th4 top .“ oil done out,” and the driver “ thanking his stars” he made it. (“ It’s a ll in knowing how.” ) • The “Jockey-Stick” was about tbe size o f a. hoe handle and about five, feet long. A ten-inch light chain snapped into the bit o f the off leader and fastened to the hames o f the leader. The off horse was thus under control o f the leader; as a stay strap held his abreast. -The “ Black Snake Whip,” usually about six feet long, tapered from the heavy butt to silken lash. The whip had an im­ portant place in a fouf-horse team not- whip the horses; but in a tight place the skilled driver would give that whip a swirl, something like the letter "S ” which ended with crack like a pistol-shot, and meant “ Buckle Down!” Harness shops have almost disappeared. Captain Crain, Tenth Battery in the Civil War, had a very fine, one in Cedarville. Every- thing for the horse would be found there. With but one line it would seem that the driver had little control o f a four- horse team .. B u t,‘such was not the case. To hold that whip in front of the off-wheeler meant to come back on the breast-chain . and lean out. And the saddle horfe did. the same. I never,-heard o f such-, team running away. Scventy-ftva years ago there were a number o f good -four-horse teams— some better than others—around Ce­ darville.
