WPA, it was, an­ nounced by State Librarian Paul A. T*Noon, supervisor of the project. In effect, the catalog will enable, the big libraries to pool their resources and multiply by many timee the avail- abiJHy of their books, it was claimed. “On receipt of an inquiry,for a certain bbolc,MLibrarian Noon said, “the at­ tendants at the union catalog, will scan the cards. If the book is found to be in the Cincinnati library, for 'example, it will be sent to-the person who requested it who will pay only the postage. Without-doubt jthe union catalog will mark the greatest ad- vanoe in library work in years,- and at a small cost the citizens of Ohio will have dozens of. books available where .only one was available before.” The WPA catalog project, which will be completed in about six months, pro­ vides employment for 100 typists, seventy clerks and thirty assistant . librarians as -Well as a .dozen carpent­ ers.

Poor “Mary Christmas” Just Pretty Girl’s Name EVANSVILLE, Ind.—Mary Christ­ mas of Poseyville, pretty 18-year-old business college student, likes her name but not the wisecracks it brings. With, a smile she explained: “People say, ’Glad to know you, Miss Merry Christmas. My name is Happy New Year.* They say It as' they’d say, ‘So’s your old man.’ “It’s vtry inconsiderate.” For hiany years, she said, parents of every other generation of the Christmas family have named One girl Mary after the mother of the Child o f Bethlehem, COZY’S XMAS TREAT TO KIDDIES The Cozy Theatre Is giving a Xmas treat to children of 12 or under on Christmas morning at 9 o'clock.

The management cordially invites all the kids of this community to be the Coxy's guests for this—their special treat,' While a grand jury is investigat­ ing whqt a former parole board did in granting paroles to hardened criminals, a new board got into action this week and granted the coveted freedom to 39 inmates of London prison, farm. They covered burglary, rape, forgery, assault, larceny. Each year we find many new things in the way of novelties for Christ- a score jA 36 to 12. mas that appeal to both young and * —--------------- ;— old. • If it is something different, this ! 39 PAROLES GRANTED year privided just that in the newest ideas. * With liquor, a household word to be in style” we have noticed many strange and interesting contraptions from the inexpensive to the costly. For instance q^cocktaii shaker pipes: •‘How dry I am,” when drinks arc mixed and ’ shaken as' if making lemonade. There is the old fashioned decanter with a' small pump in it and the cube tub of the thermos model. After mixing drinks often times some have trouble in getting home so a clever keyhole flashlight is on the market. The modern eigaret . case hands you your eigaret the instant it opens and as often as the supply lasts. For elders we find several new things in knee warmers while the Charley McCarty dolls catch the eye of the youngsters. They are-clover. The cleverest thing in "Christmas decoration is the paraffin candle that glowcs inside when lighted, like a pillar of fire. We have long had' the crying doll and the talking doll but it remained for 1937 to bring forth the nursing doll. A special bottle with nipple pro­ vides the liquid.. There is the special cut diaper to care for the inventors ingenuity. And the Nursing Doll is known as the “Drinks-N-Wcts.” Your State House And Mine PAUL YODER, Lieut.

ATTACKS LIQUIDATING METHOD SALE BANK ASSETS Attorney General Duffy has ruled against the method of the State Bank departm ut that has been used in the sale of bunk assets a t the filial wind-, up of banks in liquidation. The op­ position arose in settlement of a Toledo bank, * Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Smith, who are visiting wit'the latter’s brother, Mr, James Hawkins and wife, near Xenia, In company with the latter, stopped here Wednesday with Mrs. Lula Watt. Mr. Alfred Marshal) of Cambridge, O., spent Tuesday night here with his hunt, Mrs, Watt, AH I know is what I read in my mail. This week I had a very interest­ ing letter from a school teacher in , which she asks the question, “Whyj “nd forth in £ront of ench store, The Dayton firmR arc now in the center of the labor union war between mem- burs of the American Federation of Labor and the CIO, or Roosevelt- Lewis Communists. Threats and un­ reasonable demands are being made on company management to sign up for. a closed shop under threats of violence against property, officers of the company and employeyes that be­ long to the AFL. * The Dow Drug Co., Cincinnati, has the same experience, ‘both unions picket with banners marching back are relief needs being mcjt at the ex pense o f school funds which are also in dire need?” In the first place, “proposals” in'the Legislature and “enactments” by the Legislature are two entirely different things. I suggested a relief program which would, in my opinion, adequate­ ly finance local relief without any state aid, and at the'same time, give to-the schools, which are admittedly in dire need, the sales tax revenues now collected and allocated by the State for relief purposes. However, there appears to be no possibility of the enactment of this program at this time. With a sincere desire to return re­ lief to the subdivisions by enacting enabling legislation sufficient tqjneet those needs, the school problem could thus be solved. But, while the school deficit and the relief deficits are both prevalent topics, any attempt to divert funds from one to the other is bound to create a conflict, the group having the greater strength necessarily suc­ ceeding in diverting from the other— at least for the tnonent. I still do’Tiiit think that relief should be confused with any other matter under consideration. No relief pro­ gram will be sufficient or satisfactory to tax-payers, recipients, administrat­ ors, or vote-baiters until it has been reduced to the minimum, returned to the Counties, and sufficiently financed by the courtties. - Likewise, no school program, separate and distinct, will be Completed and finished until similar action is taken, Under the circumstances, Governor Davey’s program, with its attendant consequences, should pass, and pass promptly. Confusion grows with da­ isy, " CIO scabs cry out “unfair to labor,” while the AFL ‘banner says the com­ pany is not unfair, Prominent down­ town stores in Cincinnati this week had paving bricks heaved through large plate glass windows by CIO followers.

AUDITOR GETS ANOTHER , RULING ONDOGTAGS County Auditor James J. Curlett hat received an opinion from Prose­ cutor Marcus Shoup that in his opinion there is nothing illegal in the Auditor appointing a certain number of deputies in the county to issue dog tags for the convenlei^e of the public, rather than forte all dog own­ er* to make a special trip to Xenia for that purpose. The original opinion was front the Bureau of Ac­ counting. Under the latest ruling a deputy has been named in each town­ ship, , James Bailey will issue the dog tags as last year in this township. Mr. and Mrs, A, E. Richards Were called to Buchannan, W, Va., - last Saturday, due to the death of the former** unde. One of the best interviews On the farm situation that has appeared in print was that o f O. A. Dobbins, local Master Farmer, who gave his per­ sonal opinion from practical experi­ ence to .the Farm Editor of the Springfield Sun. In part he said: “To start with, you must remem­ ber I am one of those^ old-fashioned thinkers who don’t have muejt faith :>n any Utopian ideas to smooth, out the road to success, I was brought up iii the school which emphasized the ' importance of the individual and, early in my life, I learned that suc­ cess conges on ly‘through hard work and diligent enterprise, #■ This may be a strangh conception of life to Dur young folks who in the . last four years have Jlooked to . the government to smooth out -all their difficulties but I cannot help believ­ ing that, after all,1t is the oiily theory that will survive .the test o f time. ^' “Nor do. I have much faith in the ability of. the government to handle its undertaking efficiently although I can readily agree that, theoretically^ crop control and some Other,new fields-of government activity sound good,' If were young or had not-been dis­ illusioned, I might have some-faith' in the ability of the government^ But,. I have seen politics' creep into every government enterprise at the expense : of efficiency.- I have seen objectives of well-intentioned program changed as one party succeeded another in power, - —, . « * <• “This is one of the reasons that I am fearful of a crop control program with compulsory provisions. Once establish the right to regulate the af* fairs -of farmers to the minutest de­ tail and that right however laudatory ’ its objective may have been' at .the start, may be used to the farmers detriment in years to come; ‘Tn my business of farming, I have ■ had to be a'dose observer of produc­ tion and prices.

It is q mechanism that - iay ' be compared to water seeking its own , level. History proves to us that at­ tractive prices encourage increased production and low prices discourage production, The law of supply and de- » mand works efficiently and without an elaborate mechanism. “Any fair minded farmer must ad­ mit that during the depths of* .the business depression and the resulant ' low price,* of hogs, farmers would ' have adjusted the situation without a complex AAA program. And ! think the results would have bee|i quicker and more satisfactory. Farmers, in 1932 and 1988, were selling some of their sows because prices were un­ attractive* Enough of them. were, cutting down wheat and com produc­ tion to have corrected the glutted market within a year. “Now look at what fodr or mere, years of crop control have accom­ plished. We see hogs again on the toboggan in face of a less than nor­ mal supply, Viewing this Situation it looks very much like that old jinx, the law of supply and 'demand, ha* not received its knockout yet, Farm commodity prices still respond to the ability of the consumer to buy. • “What I have said thus far shows that I am not a beliqver in any arti­ ficial regulation of f a m production which involves a complicated mechan­ ism, I do not believe emergencies justify it. . '“We speak of emergencies and off­ hand can see no good in them. We want to pass some law .designed- through some hocus-pocus to do away with emergencies. We seem no long* er to have the patience for emergen­ cies to work themselves out. “All of this, I think, is poor reason­ ing, I have lived lotig enough to s#i a lot of good come from situations which some politicians have styled emergencies. Take tor instance our temporary threat o f overproduction of Wheat, cotton, hogs and corn. What, the government Is doing or attempt-. ing to do ia purely a makeshift eg* pedient. It does hot cure the disease. But let matters adjust themselves tm Ure mould soon see frixmeri adapting their farming of their own accord. “But we are too impatient.
