For this reason alone, in the name of fair play, Mr, Nelson should have your support at the primary election.

Roose­ velt's gratitude was expressed by giv­ ing his blessing to Robert Bujkley, Cleveland millionaire, whose family has heaped its income by receiving ex­ cessive rents for property to New Deal boards and commissions. In this introduction, according to one that witnessed the event, White pleaded for a great ovation for Roosevelt. The crowds either did not 'Understahd or lacked enthusiasm for the .applause was mighty weak. Ninety-five per ent of the big crowd was well aware hat Roosevelt was to knife White in his own ti>wn,which he did.

T. Marshall’s defeat for congress by Arthur Aleshlre, P,» was ,that another, candidate for another office in the state by the sani#' sir name topk many of the Greene countians votes, ' . To -do a little researching on this question let a“pee if the citizens of Xenia know L. T. Marshall, attorney, former clerk of court, served two terms ap State Senator, and considers him­ self the boss of the Republican party to a degree that'funds dis­ patched by the Republican State Committee, 8600, through Marshall, never reached the treasurer of the Greene county Republican committee, , ' „ • The only other Marshall on the ticket was L. L.„Marshall, Cleveland, who was a candidate for Congressman-at-large, one who probably is not known by a dozen people in Greene county, other than through the press. . , It is hardly likely that the class that can read and write in this county would notTie able to know their fellow countian over that of a distant city Resident that had never had direct contact with the affairs of this county;. . . . If the returns are correct following the tabulation of the vote, one is forced to believe that those who can read and write were better acquainted with Arthur Aleshire, the Democratic nominee for he carried ten of the thirteen p rese ts in Mar­ shall’s city. The vote in Xenia.was Aleshire 2998; Marshall, "2277* allowing for any discrepancy in tabulation. This would indicate that at least part of Xenia’s population was able to read rod write. As to howmany down around Bellbrook and SpringValley, were able to distinguish between the two Marshalls we have checked the vote in those precincts, Bellbrook and Sugarcreek Twp. being the old home town where everybody is suppose to know everybody, even if they do hot speak. ; In Bellbrook 87 people recognised the name of Marshal and 116 for aomd reason or another were better acquainted with Aleshire. Sugarcreek Twp. gave Marshall 178 and Ale- shire 268, which is a bad rcfiectlon on the old home neighhood hot keeping up with its sons and daughter as they rise to fame and fortune. Spring Valley village nearby had its reputation soiled by not being able to pick out one Marshall from another and Aleshire captured 127 votersto Marshall,T17. Certainty as we review the record about the most needed thing in the Marshall campaign is "acquaintance”, with the home folks. "Miss Margaret Baker, Springfield feminine poll tical director on the Republican side, who evidently kidnapped the Pemberton-Schorr child for the fourth time congressional tryout, should turn her strategists of the campaign on an '"Old HomeWeek” that hercandidate can get better acquaintedwith his home-town folks in Bellbrook and Xenia. "RED CARD" FARMERS Southern cotton planters Are having the first taste of gov­ ernment, regimentation under the new, crop control system White cards and red cards are bringinghome to themthe mean­ ing of the 1938 agricultural adjustment act and the methods by which it compels compliance with the dictates of the agri­ cultural overlords at Washington. In the first place little publicity was given the act of Secre­ tary Wallace in signing the 22,660-word decree for control of the cotton crop. Possibly, as Paul Mallon, Washington com; mentator, pointed out, the department of agriculture felt thal such publicity was poorly timed because it would have come just when President Roosevelt was denouncing regimented na tions. But it is being put into effect in the south, A farmer who co-operated with the government crop con­ trol program received a white card containing his sena1 number, his name and address and a code numberfor his farm A farmer who failed to co-operate received a red card contain ing similar information. Now when a cotton buyer seeks to purchase the products of a plantation he must ask to see the farmer’s card. The white card means that the farmer can sell as much cotton as he pleases. As a ‘Voluntary” eo operator that is his privilege. But a red card means that the holder can csell only the amount of his quota—fixed by the local committee —without paying a tax. This tax, which must be collected on the cotton sold by holders of red cards In excess of their quotas, amountsto 2 cents a pound. The tax moneythus collected goes to the AAA, Just what the provisions are for enforcing this system of regimentation is not yet disclosed, but it is presumed that they are strict, Enforcement of this now crop control decree is likely to test the resourcefulness of the AAA and the federal goveriv- ment, It applies to some 2,600,900 cotton farmers. And how the AAA is going to keep track of cotton purchases from the holders of red cards who sell their products to more than one purchaser is another problem of bookkeeping. This Is a sample of the regimentation Miami valley farmers may expect should controls be Voted on this year’s corn crop. Whether the card system would he used here is immaterial. Borne way would be found to make thou* who refused to co^ operate with the AAA pay a tax on the sale of corn in excess of an arbitrary quota, Nor could the com he fed to livestock without payment of the tax, Indeed, the whole Idea of having this regimentation Impossed on the farmer Is far from pleasant; But according to the agricultural adjustment act of 1938 It can happen here, ^-Dayton Journal. < I*. % Marshall while a member of Congress voted for the New Deal measures Including the Infamous NBA which was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Gourt, and the AAA which was the ground work for what has followed and what will he forced on the lamer* In this dlririrt as outlined in the shove editorial, Gong, Aleshire would be expected to support Roosevelt; Marshall also supported Roosevelt, Mi,w does he stand today on the AAA program? s Oar old friend Jim Marker lias re­ signed his connection with the Ohio Paving Brick Mfgs, Assoc,, after s rerviee of twenty-thte§ years. He will open an office in the Hartman Bldg., Columbus, fts a consulting Civil Engineer and specialize in public utilities. “Jim” was the third Ohio Highway Commissioner ami was first named by Gov, Harmon and retained »y both Govs. Cox and Willis. Jim is a Democrat of the old school and we venture to say he has not forsaken the principles of his party altogether : or a little glory in victory today. He resides in Columbus but still votes at his old home in Versailles in Darke county, one of the finest tributes that can be paid a man being that he has not grown bigger than his home town, We need more “Jim” Markers in pub­ lic life, business and politics. The editorial on this page from the Payton Journal on .the AAA and a Red” card for farmers, brings to .uind that some of .these days there vfll be'a vote whether the corn grow­ ers want the “voluntary" plan, or. in 'thetf,words, have Wallace,force re­ strictions on air crops. If we were to make a guess the vote that is to be aken is settled now. We were in the routhwhen the cotton vote was taken. Southerners said not. one half of the cotton growers went' near the polls. Gfne tall-gaunt-cotton producer made :he statement in our presence and that of a southern publisher, that "in politics it' has always' been the rule to be' more interested "in the count “ban the vote.” The "red card” farm­ er is the "copperhead" brand that Roosevelt called farmers in his last bat that did not swallow the Wallace Communistic plan. We notice some of our New Deal farmers that have been singing Roose- •elt praises are not shouting to the ‘house-tops” just at present. Sixty sent wheat with no chance ofits going nuch higher; threshing, .combining mats, fertilizer, seed and labor all mist come out of that 60 per bushel Wheat loans at 60 cents will also peg he price and keep buyers out of the narket, knowing that wheat can be nought from day to day at the same price. This saves millers millions os' dollars each year in interest as it Is not necessary to borrow money now to buy wheat for future use and speculate on prices advancing. Gome days ago we received an an* nouncement of a new firm in Los Angeles, Calif,, "Barber-Mahr ‘Co., flour brokers, The senior member is jtteece Barber, formerly of this place, who was. with The Washbum-Grosby and General Milling Co. for a number of years. ’ The Agricultural Adjustment Ad­ ministration has just made public the cost of operation of the New Deal method of regimentation for farmers, patterned after what is forced on peasants in Russia. The cost to the ?tate is $1,287,041.77, most of which went to officials and committeemen. Wenote by the report given the press hat some stress is laid to the fact -hat the bulk of the cost of operation vas expense for committeemen. T ub . sarawas, a goodoldDemocratic county look first honors for the highest ex­ pense, $26,898.30. The next was Stark it $23,214|6. Locally the cost of Greene county •vas $11,912,02; Miami only $8,996.62; ihelby, $14,524. 99; Fayettes, $11,- 102.19; Madison, $10,196.95; Clark 516, 028.96; No effort evidently has ben made to break down the county ;ost so that taxpayer or farmer can loll where the cost is or whether it ;ould be reduced. The NewDeal never igures cost of anything, the more the tetter, for the new brand of pros­ perity. ' And this happened Twp. A well-known strange? approaching in Cedarville farmer saw a after having parked his automobile in front of the farm botnet Things had not been going well that day and "I was some­ what upset ” as this farmer relates his ■experience. “Haying made up my 'mind that 1 was done with AAA and those who sponsor it, the first thing I said was something that startled; the stranger, who happened to be a soli­ citor for a farm paper.” To quote the farmer: “If you are out here for that AAA crowd, just get yourself off the place as soon ns possible, for I'm done with it." The stranger, shock­ ed hs he was, had had a similar ex­ perience the week previous in Fayette county. With the New Dealers throwing money in every direction to catch a vote, Republicans, ate not making the best of the opportunity if they lean to the new idea of a eheck for their vote, A newspaper friend relates the ex­ perience of theadministrator of an estate in another county, the deceased being prominent in the AAA activities in ids county. Tho administrator, a Democrat, discovered that it paid better to be a Republican farmer than a Democrat farmer. A peek at tho amount of money tho deceased drew fm serving as a committeeman, the amount accepted hy a government check that was cashed, tho number of acres exceeding by five over what the deed called for, resulted in but one cenclusion-^Tt paid better to be a New Deal reformed Republican than an “old line ItemociAt." This retails the experience of a local attorney in settling up an estate In this county. The tenant, a g m i 160 per cent Democrat, owed the govern­ ment something like $800 on loans. The estate was listed for AAA bene­ fits. The attorney received a check for five dollars and a few cents, for the estate, The government received a check from the estate for better than •§00, what the Democrat" owed the government and the estate had pay.

The people lived according to the whims of the day, and, as always, humanity left to itself drifted to lower and lower levels.. This was true morally and spiritually and ultimately political­ ly; for they came repeatedly into bondage to other nations and were only delivered a i God raised up judges to lead them to repentance and victory, as welt as to rule oyer them. I. A People ia Disorder (vv. 14). Any people that forgeta God and begins to live after the dictates of the flesh will at length come to the place where some-strong man with "chariots of iron" will rule over them. We, in America, look at tha other nations of tho world, viewing their plight with sympathy but ever assuring ourselves teat "It can't happen here." We ought to arouse ourselves and face the Diets lest our Own land, happy in its posses­ sion of God's great blessings of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," abuse those privileges, neglect the worship of God, spurn tee leadershipHe gives us, and be­ come “lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof' (II Tim. 3:4, 5). If we do not awake and repent the Lord may have to "sell" ns, as He did Israel, into the hands of the oppresror. n . A Leader Galled ef Cod (vv. 4-9), God always has His man ready for tee hour of need—only in this case His man was a woman.- Glori­ ous indeed ife tee record of faithful and capable womanhood in annals of God’s, work on earth. Deborah was a woman of unique gifts—a poetess, is prophetess; and withal "the wife of Lapidoth,'' evidently a woman who cured well for her own household. Brains and natural ability are much needed, especially in a time .such as ours when few there are who even.carp to think toir them' selves and fewwho have any desire to develop native ability except for tee purpoee of “making money." But true leedershlp «* !!* for more than talent and inteUtgence; it calif for a bunting in the soul, a divine xeel, the urge of (tod in the heart. . Deborah had this fiery touch upon her life. Barak, while undoubtedly a man of ability, evidently did not have it. Many excuses have been offered for the weakness indicated in verse eight. It has been said teat he waa cautious, or that he wanted to give tee place of honor to Deborah as the leader of hey people. These suggestions may be true, but somehow one has the feel­ ing that what he really lacked was the "flanting heart." May God give if to us, test in our much doing of His work the divine fire may want! and inspire us! HI. A Dlviae Vietory (w . 12-14). God gave Deborah and Barak a gredt victory, but note that it was God and not man whobrought about the defeat of Jabin (Judges 4:18,23). It waa a complete victory and the enemies of Israel troubled them no more for many a day. Dr. Wilbur M, Smite aptly points out that we should look "upon these conflicts in the book of Judges as certainly symbol* of tee great cock flict that every Christian knows eg he wrestles, not with flesh and blood, but against principalities and pow­ ers, against the world-nuers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. Victory is certain only when tee Lord is with us and only when we walk in His will' and contend against evil in His power. We are more than con­ querors, but only through tee Lord Jesus Christ" (Peloubet’f Select Notes), In closing this lesson the writer of these notes wishes to recognise the blessing of God in enabling him to complete two years of this serv­ ice to Him and to His people. He also wishes to thank those readers in every state of the Union and in si number of foreign countries who have written to hint words of appre­ ciation, encouragement and counsel, , ^ lee trk a l-R a fit Htorm Hold*lip ‘Threshing ... 7 a I t hiis been many M*«s fines this section of the state has been visited iritis i» dangerous electrical usd rain stem' a* test on Thursday morning •shout; 5s30 oVkch, Fields were flooded and streams filled to the hlftks and .wheat threshing stopped for a day w mo re, ValueefMedtistlta It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most on Divine truth, that will prove the choicest, wisest, strongest Christian.—Bishop Hall. , Atiahlfig Fttfaelistt The warm loves and fears, that swept over us as clouds, must lose their finite character and blend with God, to ftiaitt their own periae> tton.-^Emareon.
