Entered at tha Peat Office, Cedsrrille, Ohio, October SI, 1887, ] FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1987 O O IA THE RUMKJt W E AND THE TUMBLE BUG (k id , from tha days o f primitive civilisation, ha* been the haul* fo r a roadfcu* o f exchange. Back in 1983 this country was taken fram the gold standard and a fictitious value placed on it by legislative action under demand o f the New peal. It is not eer serpens to argue the merits or dements o f gold as a basis for the valuation o f any medium o f exchange. It is our pnrpeee to point out that the plan being pursued will lead to an eee«M*aie eruption, not only at home but abroad, that will Burpess any event in the history o f the country. At the time the New Deal placed a value on gold o f 885 an ounce when it had been selling in the world market at ISO,87. That price still stands and from every country on the globe comes thousands o f ounces o f the yellow metal to this country. New mines are being opened. The high price has encouraged reopening o f old mines. Canada, Mexico, Russia and other countries are milking thi3 country, trading their gold for our merchandise. The New Deal keeps on borrowing money and paying interest to take over gold which is being planted in the huge under ground vault Uncle Sam has built in Kentucky. This country now has 111,312,000,000 tied up in gold, all o f which is to be kept under ground. Meantime cor­ porations are being taxed to raise money to pay the interest to banks for money borrowed to purchase the gold from foreign n a tion *^ Thus you have the Roosevelt brand o f handling money. You have the brain-truster theory o f economics, Taxing the necessities o f life to carry on a traffic in gold only to have it buried in the ground should baffle the most simple minded. It does stagger the minds o f those who cannot see the ultimate outcome as anything, but disasterous. ■It is extremely unfortunate that standards o f valuation can be fixed by one who cannot even differentiate between the value o f the bumble bee and the tumble bug. It is encouraging to m represent­ ative* of th* General Motors Co. and ths Ford Motor Co., join in the labor situation due to the sit-down strike in auto plants. It la said the strike leaders expect to attack Ford plants as soon as they whip General Motors in ‘line. One o f the reasons industry has had to suffer from undue labor disturbances under the direction of radicals is because all the companies have not stood together. Take a look back under the days o f the NBA. The New Peal expected to break Henry Ford financially and tried to bar him from furnishing the government autos or trucks. Ford ignored the NBA and won public support. Meantime General Motors was playing a tight and loose game with the New Peal to get orders for cars and trucks. Today the Boosevelt racketeers are attack­ ing General Motora with Boosevelt at­ tacking President Sloan. If General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, International and other motor concerns would band together and close down every plant for thirty days, they would do more to drive radical labor leaders out of the country than anything else. It would also put the New Peal admin­ istration with it s ' Emma Goldman labor leader, 'best described by Kipling as a “Bag; a Bone and a Hank of Hair" on the spot. ‘ can he said at Vicksburg, Miss.

They know days in advance when a flood ia headed their way. At one point above tbe clty the river has a mile of wickets’ side by side that can be opened and about fifteen feet o f water from the river can be drained into a canal fifteen feet deep and one mile wide that leads to the Gulf o f Mexico, This is but one of the places where the river can be drained around the city. New Or­ leans is about 100 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Such floods as we are hav­ ing now is but adding hundreds o f acres of the richest land in the world to the delta. Thousands o f acres of this land is now producing sugar cane and all kinds of garden vegetables. Southern land owners along the Mississippi yearly welcome a freshet from the north. With it comes better fertiliser than can be manufactured.

Elmar F. Kruse, State Chair­ man, Talla Amounts Offarad Farmers In 1937 PRESIDENT SLOAN SMELLED-THE MOUSE The General Motors strike continues regardless o f the act­ ivities o f politicians from Cabinet members down to walking delegat s in labor unions. A frameup was planned by Sister Perkins but President Sloan o f General Motors smelled the mouse and quickly announced that'he would not attend. He should have the backing o f all citizens as a matter o f principle after what developed laBt week when John L, Lewis stated Roosevelt owed his election to. union labor and that the ad­ ministration should take a more decided stand against General Motors. The Lewis labor unions contributed $600,000 to the Roose­ velt .campaign and in return were to get administration sup­ port, in strikes and the union fight between labor leaders out to down the American Federation o f Labor. Lewis threw the situation in Roosevelt's lap. He must now choose between the radical labor leaders and the duPont family, which is expected to be united in June when young Roosevelt marries into the head o f the motor company family. The motor company is determined to reopen all plants, other than those which are occupied by sit-down strikers., Strikers now urge higher prices fo r all makes o f automobiles that, wages now averaging more than $7 a day may be in­ creased. I f the strikers win, regardless of the fact that present wages are.much more than what ordinary citizens now earn in trades and professions, the auto companies will be forced to increase prices. NOW THE NEGRO WANTS TO KNOW WHERE HE IS The National Urban League, speaking for the American Negroes, asks some important questions of-the New Deal ad­ ministration. First Wants to know just why the negro cannot have his place as a class under the national security act? The 'league points out a number o f discriminations which include citations that in the south most o f the negro labor is engaged in agri­ culture. A large per cent is regarded as domestic and woulc not come under the social security act. Only a small per cent o f negroes get a chance at industry in the south, due to the color line. . ; The. League also points out that under the New Deal since the election the administration has not been so interested in relief among the colored folks. At present white families get $13 a month and colored families are forced to accept $7 a month, or nothing, As to WPA, colored labor gets nothing because .white labor will not mix. We are surprised also that the League has not mentioned the fact that the New Deal, which boasts so much o f the “ Forgotten Man" has not forced a single southern’ state to permit the negro to vote, a right granted him under the con­ stitution. The negro is discriminated against in railway travel and south o f the Mason and Dixon line all colored people are horded into the “ jim crow” car, where not even a white man is permitted. The League has exercised its rights in making complaint to Roosevelt and it will get many fancy promises but there will he no performance, and no one knows this more than Roosevelt. The reason is obvious that recognition will not be forthcoming. Most all the important committees in congress are held by southerners. Both branches are presided over by southerners. lik e union labor, Roosevelt made many promises to the colored race and he should be made to fulfill them at whatever cost. Explanation: You see we spent all the money for the radio broadcast, so we have to get the newspapers to print it free. • /■ THE TOPIC FOR TODAY 1$ HOC FEEDING Tha rstpooM to last week** advertisement showing Idla t ld s i corn with supplement to he a more economical feed than hominy brought in several to find out more about it.

Last week it became known that the Lewis labor forces put $50,000 in the Democratic cam­ paign to re-elect Boosevelt. Now. Lewis demands that Boosevelt come clean and take a stand in behalf of organized labor that is conficating property not its own. This week it developes, and the source is from labor quarters, that labor unions contributed the immense sum of $600,- 000 to the Boosevelt campaign fund. No wonder labor is demanding much of the Boosevelt administration. Was this $600,000 reported under the cor­ rupt practice act? It was not and would make no difference with Con­ gress Democratic. Why floods; cyclones, dust storms, drouths, earthquakes and epidemics? From whence do theycome, and why? Why shouldman be plagued, subject­ ed to mental torture and loss of life and property? No doubt many if not all these questions have arisen the past, week in the minds o f all, in or out oi the flood zone. Do these things.happen or are they directed? We, all must admit there is a Master power over mind and matter and ;it is the mysteries of life that ahoulc keep us directed to the guiding Power. , The oldest citizen admits that never in his or her knowledge has there ever been so much water pass down Massies Creek as we have had the past ten" days.. Within., seven days the creek reached flood stage three different times after going down to a more normal level. It reached the 1915 record Sunday night. The bottom lands east and west qf town were covered with several feet of water for maiiy days. One of the lessons that come out of floods and other national disasters is that (thrfre is a. 'brotherhood o f man. The rich, the aristocratic, the great middle class and even those from the slums irrespective of color, class or cneed, gather at the relief station for food, water and clothing. Disaster seems to be a leavening to society not only to draw them closer but to blot out class ^distinction lines Disaster might be the answer to the gospel of class distinction and class hatred that has been preached the post few years.. The first flood o f record that has hover been reached locally was in 1886 what was known as the “May Flood." The water at that time pass- Ca|,.pvor the road in “Pittsburg" and oyjsr the East street bridge. There being but one building east, of the opera house in those days, the water came near the house at that 'time but did not reach Main street. Water passed through the basement under what is now the Bichard’s Drug Store. The south bank o f Massies creek was washed of all soil for a distance of probably thirty feet. It was during the '86 flood that the last vestage of the old wooden dam just west of Main street was washed out It was a large hand hlied log that had been fit into the stone 'bank on each side, ’ The dam was used to divert water into the racp that ran under what is now the Wright grocery for use to develop power for the saw mill. Flood waters are as destructive as fire yet harder to escape. All life, plant, animal and hpman must have water. It is this situation that creates the gravest problem,.for Cincinnati, Louisville, and otherBond towns. The health problem in any city all depends on the water supply afid its quality. Water is the greatest factor in con­ trolling fire. It is absolutely neceS- sary for sanitary purposes, yet the flood district suffers >from a lack of! pure water. We frequently overlook the fortune that is ours if we have plenty of pure drinking water ancl sufficient supply for fire protection. A water supply cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Bingham Tests For Daily Association The writer remembers well the ex­ citement the night o f the “May Flood" and th ediscussions that followed. It was so unusual to have so much water at one time, Until that time Massies Creek was a peaceful stream with an average water level probably two or three times we have in mid summer, The flood at that time followed a cloud burst in this vicinity, Mow we have high water and in a few days it is all gone. Tho low water level is due to the fact that all the land for miles east and south of town is well drained, Back in 1886 there Were hundreds o f acres of tlmberland and water stood for months over much of this acreage. Ibis fed gradually into. Massies Creek which maintained a higher water level throughout the year and made it possible to have water power at Main street the year round. Now we have ohly a few weeks of tho year that Massies Creek could provide a flow for water power, The low water level in wells in the country as well ia$ towns might be at trlbutcd to the fact that most of the country is drained so'that littb water stands for weeks and month* as it . - did back in the days before th* first; i. •I T flood for this community. ** M. S. Bingham of Westerville, Ohio has been employed as: tester of the dairy herd improvement association whichais composed of dairymen in Greene and Clark countes. Mr. Bing­ ham has received special training for this work which is carried on-under the supervision o f the dairy depart­ ment Of Ohio State University, The local association is an organ­ ization of about 20 dairymen who em­ ploy the tester to weigh and test the milk from each cow for economical production o f milk and butterfat. The tester spends one dqy a month at each farm and while there gets a complete records o f the amount of milk and butterfat produced by each cow in the herd. He also keeps a record of the amount and kind of feed consumed, cost of feed, gross income, and income over cost o f feed. Using these records as a guide, the owner and tester figure and and management. All cows that do not respond profitably to intelligent feeding are eliminated, and careful at­ tention is given to problems of breed­ ing. ■itiNMjULji ITNOUSHr You WERE AFUJSy [CATCH 13 or M>lttdulg«ne* in ^ drink, Yas—H m mast talkad af coal Sn tha community is CORLKW ami aft mmt h is stack In awr yard. r B s s s O T i n G R A IN s i AcnthMnhk Aisnnt Cadarrilla, Ohio !
