There they laboriously cleared fields as their fathers had done before them in Ohio, the Shenandoah, and New England. The neighboring prairies went unplanted. Fictional historians would have us believe that the settlers failed to recognise the prairie fertility, imputing to them a be­ lief that land which supported only native grasses would not yield crops* This is a dander on their intelligence* They had only to kick the sod aside to find the rich black dirt beneath. They broke their backs clearing the lighter soil in the woods because they couldn't plow the praire gumbo* .George Washington's slaves, only a generation before, had turned the furrows on his Virginia acres with wooden plows, The cast iron plow was invented in 1797 and its inventor died in poverty. Fanners charged that his plow /'poisoned the ground and promoted weeds;** There were iron plows in Illinois, and they could break tbe prairie sod. But the next year, or the year after, the sticky loam defied them* It clung to the.moldboard instead of falling away cleanly, and it was only by constant and weary scraping with a paddle that the plowman could turn his furrow. In 1837 one o f his neighbors came to John Deere, a Vermont blacksmith who had settled in the little town o f Grand Detour, on the Bock river* Disgusted with his struggle with the gumbo soil, he neighbor announced Kis intention o f returning to the stony acres o f New England. John Deere took a section o f a steel bandsaw. He shaped it. on wood form to make a plowshare* The sticky soil fell away from this plowshare. It was, in short, self-scouring. It is not to be supposed that the new invention spread over the prairies like wildfire. Three years later Deere made only forty o f his steel plows. Even after the civil war the relative merits o f cast iron and. steel plowshares were matters o f bitter debate among farmers. But the. steel plow did for the planting o f crops what the reaper did for gathering them. Together they opened the agri­ cultural empire o f mid-America and were the foundation of great industrial fortunes. The John Deere organization, grown to a great corpora­ tion, is celebrating the centenary o f the steel plow this year. There are few people left in Grand Detour, which got itsname from the big loop o f the Rofck river around it, to share the celebration. When railroads came the .citizens o f Grand De tour spurned them. They were smoky and noisy, and, anyway, water transportation was the coming thing. Dixon got the rail road, the flatb'oats disappeared, and Grand Detour today re mains a pleasant bit o f New England, set down in the rich prairies which its greatest citizen tamed.—Chicago Tribune. I ................. ( ’ DAVEY’S NO NEW TAX SLOGAN DISCARDED Once more a .political promise is to be broken and there are those whe'mBN^fhwght for a minute there was any sincerity promise. It served as good ba i; to hook the vffiNai aawlTt wili not only be the Davey supporters but all voters that W ill get to pay the bill. It must be admitted * the Governor is a blttrttobled just where to lay this new tax for he says he must new lWrve at least 310,000,000 more, a frac­ tion o f what might be tetmed an inconsequental sum under the New Deal rule o f addition and multiplication. Congress just a few days ago voted a few billion for this and that and a few hours later discovered a minor itein had been over looked and just passed a second bill'to spend 9L0 million more. After &1 the Davey ten million is nothing more than postage stamp Change* Just before inauguration he purchased an $8,000 sixteen cylinder automobile for state occasion out o f tax funds. Last year be purchased a ten thousand dollar car and this of course is now out o f style and should have another for one big governor cannot ride in one car. Davey looks with askance on the easy method o f getting funds on gasoline and there are re ports from his headquarters that he will ask his Democratic legislature to jump the gasoliiie tax from four to five cents, not for road purposes but just ordinary spending such as flood relief and poor relief. Once again it is pointed out that the . New Deal prosperity takes credit for putting millions to work and yet the unemployment list grows larger when it comes to asking for relief funds. Some how or another we just cannot make common sense out o f the situation. A sit-down strike broke looee this week in the Goodrich tire plant in Akron. More men out o f work, SI men ’'sit-down" end forced several thousand non-union workers to walk the streets in idleness. More men ‘‘sit-down" in ?Jthe auto industry. Meantime President Trosky and Madame Goldman, the Goddess of Labor, down in Washington hold con­ ferences behind closed doors while a labor anarchist demands entrance and some return from Trosky for labor’s $600,000 donation to the cause o f humanity and the welfare o f the “forgotten man." 1an ;r«come till o f that nature. j For a few wc-’icr; at h ast we arc to ;hear much about water conservation, building storage dams fer flood pro­ tection, The air is now full o f all sorts o f rumors. The Icioto Volley Plen was turned dewn by government engineers and the nest year Forts- j mouth at the confluence o f tbe Scioto and Ohio is flooded to the housetops in moat o f the city, Every politician will have a plan, Sait was filed in Franklin county courts this week making all sorts o f charges against the board members in charge o f the Scioto plen. P. T. BARNUM ATTENDED MOODY REVIVAL This is the week of the Centenary celebrations, honoring the memory o f Dwight L. Moody, noted evangelist o f((his day. The influence o f his sermons have been world-wide1and he brought about conversion to many who later in life gained fame. . Among the world celebrities who came under the influence o f Dwight L. Moody's preaching was F. T. Barnum, world famous showman. Barnum not only attended the meeting and heard Mr* Moody preach, hut remained for the inquiry meeting, where Mr. Sankey, Moody's evangelistic companion, talked with him about his spiritual condition. Barnum however, was a Universalist and during the conversation said, “ Mr. Sankey you go on singing 'The Ninety and Nine' and when you get that lost sheep in the fold we will all be saved.*' Many who heard Moody and Sankey in those days, after­ ward became world celebrities, largely because o f the influence o f the gospel upon their lives. Among this number is the famed Gypsy Smith, evangelist. Smith's first contact with the evangel- ists'was when Moody and Sankey took a trip out to Epping Forest near Loudon, A few gypsy boys came up to the carriage in which Moody and Sankey were sitting, Sankey put his hand on the head o f one o f them and said*. “ May the Lord make a preacher' o f you, my boy.** That boy became the beloved evangelist, Gypsy Smith* U.

This is the report of the same organization that sur­ veyed the country in the presidential campaign and predicted the result weeks ahead. And the prediction came true. With that record we must be­ lieve the result o f the last survey. It is said the largest stockholders also back President Sloan. Non-union labor' in the auto industry affected by the 'strike voted from seven to twelve to one against the Eoosevelt-Perkina- Lewis new fashioned method o f strik­ ing. There is yet one other important personage to hear from—Roosevelt’s son. ■ ■ You no doubt have read “ Love Let­ ters o f a Father to' His Son,” A new series may be in the formation which might be designated “ Love Letters of a Son to His Father.” . These’ would be the letters o f young Roosevelt to his father to go easy on the strike matter rather than cause a breach in the social ranks o f the duPonts, large owners o f General Motors, and the Roosevelts in as much as the son is soon to marry a daughter o f one of the duPonts. A . decision must be made soon between, Lewis and his unions, and the duPont family and their millions. As the boys would say “ F. D.” is on “ the spot." The liquor interests have been com­ plaining about mayors and justices of peace, in fact all judicial officials, of the many cases o f revoking licenses for drivers o f automobiles who are ar­ rested fo r intoxication while driving. These leaders can get encouragement by a ruling this week o f John R. Fierce, attorney-examiner, who holds' these courts have no jurisdiction to revoke licenses. A joker in the driv­ er’s license law took this authority away from local officials. Only courts o f record may invoke driving licenses* The New Deal certainly will not ignore the important news out o f good old Democratic Tennessee where the 22-year-old "Hill "Billyh is to marry a nine-year-^ld mountain girl, and with the consent o f the mother. Dayton Tenn., became famous a number of years ago about the teaching o f evolu­ tion in the schools. A great contro­ versy arose and the south was all exercised about the attack on Bible teachings. A little thing about the marriage, o f a nine-year-old girl does not seem to alarm the Tennessee New Dealers, Members o f the legislature say there is no law to permit such marriages. Thirty-five years ago while on a visit in that state our at­ tention was called to a certain town­ ship as we drove through, where elec­ tions were always presided over by officials from another township as there were none available in the town­ ship that could read and write. And { there was but one ticket on the ballot. There was no need o f a Republican ticket for there were none in the ! township. What is true o f Tennessee j is true of Georgia. I f you have not ! seen the drama “ Tobacco Road,” laid [ on conditions in Georgia, you could I hardly imagine what it is all about/! How can the waters o f the Ohio be harnessed? When and at what cost to he paid by whom? These are the question* under discussion. Tin greatest flood On record in the Ohic valley causes cities and towns ti make a survey tat security in the future such as has never been pro­ posed before. The success o f rite Dayton plan loads those in the flooded districts to look hopeful to such a system. It is likely that the Mus­ kingum. valley will have protection through the dam system and this should aid Marietta, We read o f this plan and that as if dne hundred per cent safety can be secured. History records that the Big Miami Valley fo r miles around Dayton was subject to light earthquakes, some o f which cause great fissures. In the flooded sections along the Mississippi reports came o f slight earth trembles last week Suppose a slight quake should weaken or split the Englewoot dam when, it had forty feet o f water. What would the result be in Dayton and the Miami Valley? So far. those dams have proven valuable to Dayton and cities below hut as the Cincinnati Enquirer asks, regardless o f the plan that might be adopted for the Ohio valley, ‘who is there that can guar antee that another flood might not exceed the 80-foot stage? Secretary Wallace some days ago in a radio address told the world that allstrings had been cift for regulating crop production under the New Deal. In other words the Secretary backs away from his position the past year when we had crop control and at the same time the Agricultural Depart­ ment imported grain, meats and live stock valued at millions o f dollars thus holding down prices so, that the farmer could not profiteer, but permit high priced union labor to pocket the difference. ® I f we understand the soil conserva­ tion benefit program it is nothing more than crop restriction. He has advocated the normal granary plan, resettlement plafi to establish more people on farms'- to increase crop pro* duction, and also supports the seed loan law that more people can en gage in farming in competition with farmers that own their own land and desire most o f all, do their own financing. For Sheer magic Wallace has Roosevelt crowded off the stage. In Chicago he advocates low priced foodstuff for city consumers and then goes on the air to advocate high prices for producers o f farm products Thera is something about it all that mnkes us a bit groggy.

Harry Isreal, Democrat, Dayton, has done the unusual. Israel is ft sargeant-at-arms o f the Ohio Hous >, The Democrats being in the? spending mood while Gov. Davey is trying to ind some new taxes, decided that iarry should have more salary and an effort was made to Hike his pay. !Iarry thought athoi-w^e and says: “ 1 cnew what the salary was when I ac­ cepted the appointment and I do not think it right to accept a salary in­ crease how.” I f the Groundhog, better known in polite society as a “Candlemas," .‘ id not get to see* his shadow, Tuesday, it was because he never came up for air. While the early part o f the day was cloudy before noon a bright sun­ shine with the mercury around twenty degrees, made the day ideal for winter. If we have six weeks more o f winter it will he due to Mr. Ground­ hog and the bright sunshine. Representative George Thorne, (t>.) Greene county, wants no reappraisal o f real estate fo r taxation until 1942, Gov. Davey thinks different and put his veto oh a former bill passed by the legislature.
