Hagar in Xenia ttiis week* a name long prominent in the paper industry in the county now becomes a pleasant memory. Miss Hagar was the last member o f a family that had for four score years or more been directly interested in the manufacture of paper. Her father, the late Walter Hagar, engaged in paper mak­ ing in a crude mill near Clifton along the Miami river. It was there he laid the foundation for future success. Later he operated a straw mill in Xenia. In -1893 he in company with his son, Edward, erected and placed in operation .The Hagar Straw Board & Paper Co. in Cedarville.. This plant was operated until 1938 when it was sold to the Mead paper inter­ ests in Chillicothe, O. Another member of the family who was so well known here was Miss Gertrude Hagar, who was book- keeper, of the local mill for many years. Mr* Edward Hagar met. instant death in a motor car accident on August 27, 1904, iust previous to the final opening of another plant, The Frank­ lin Board & Paper Co., Franklin, O. Another brother interest­ ed in the local mill at one time was the late Albert Hagar, a prominent attorney in New York City. Miss Sarah Hagar was a director of the Franklin Company at the time of Her death, as well as vice president. She was a woman of unusual executive ability and stood high m the esti­ mation of all with whom she associated. Her death closes an interesting chapter of her father's family. To carry on is the daughter of Edward Hagar, Mrs. Charles E. Galloway of Chi­ cago, the lone survivor of a family name highly cherished m Cedarville. A . F. OF L. SEES A NEW DEPRESSION COMING The number of unemployed at the beginning of the year is estimated by the American Federation of Labor at 10 million 380 thousand. In the six month's rise in business which got under way last July, 1 million 200 thousand employes: won back their jobs, but the number unemployed did not go down by that much because meanwhile the number of job seekers had been increased by 250,000 due to graduations into the working popu­ lation. The A. F. of L. is heartened by the reduction in the number out of work and is confident that there will be some ' further gains in job opportunities this year. But allowing for a stiff gain in business in 1939, the federation sees nothing in the industrial outlook which will reduce the number of un­ employed below 9 million by the end of the year. The A. F. of L. believes that the increase in government spending has had much to do with the revival so far realized. It therefore con­ cludes that since the government’s spending, even at the peak now being attained, has failed to get private business to put men to work and produce goods to capacity, disaster faces the country next year when the present wave of government spend­ ing exhausts its Stimulating effect. ' The federation is convinced that a new depression will be faced next year, a depression in which the number of un­ employed will start at 9 million* and end no one knows where. The labor organization has.no enthusiasm for the alternative o f a greatly increased armament program. “Excessive arma­ ments lower living standards, and anyhow a government cannot forever go on piling deficit on deficit.” In 1933 the problem which confronted the country was.to get out of the depression. An administration came into power promising to do just that, After that administration has been in office for a full four year term, and half of another term, the problem of getting out o f the depression still confronts the country. The central labor organization fears that even such minor recovery as we have had will soon disappear. The experiments since 1933 have convinced this great employes’ organization that the means which have been pursued will result in a greater failure in the future than in the past. First the farmers became painfully aware of the failure of the Roosevelt measure to restore their pre-depression income. Now it is evident that leaders in organized labor understand that the New Deal cannot restore the jobs in industry. Almost every move taken since 1933 has been an obstacle to the expansion of commerce. If the government.will only get off the neck of business employment will come back over night. The bitter repression of private enterprise over the past six years’ and some foolish legislation in years preceding it have been the cause of the troubles from which'we have suffered, , and from which we shall suffer more unless congress,takes it into its own hands to give relief. —Chicago Tribune.

Increased costs due to . Social Security taxes amounting to? millions was more than the trade cou\d absorb. The New, Deal had to find a way to convince the tire patrons that the companies were holding out, consequently suits were filed this week against the larger companies by the government. Will the public con­ tinue to swallow everything that comes out o f Washington? “Meantime you are going to pay the increased cost o f tires, clothing, farm ma­ chinery, and everything else manu­ factured. Gov, Bricker in his Lincoln speech in Philadelphia had the following to say concerning public spending: “ Spending o f money has become an obsession and no thought seems to be given. to him who' must pay the cost, Governor Bricker* said. “ The cost is laying a dead hand upon busi­ ness, and as a result labor is unem­ ployed. There is no escaping federal taxes, and business-has been shifting from state to state to avoid further state burdens." He said that in Ohio <5,000 persons had been removed from ithe state pay­ roll at an annua] savings o f three and a half million dollars since he ‘ took office. It certainly provides the public a lot o f fun to read the various polls taken on all kinds of subjects. The latest is that three-fourths o f 500 wives polled are strong for double­ beds over the fashionable “ twin beds.”. This might not be a fair time to test such a contest in view o f the number that complain openly o f having “ cold feet." What would a poll in the sum­ mer time be with the prercury at 80 in the shade ? Gov. Bricker has named William F. Hess, Cincinnati,. former Republican leader, and Col. William E. North, Greeneville, Democrat, an auctioneer, as members of the Ohio liquor control board. The appointments are for four-year terms with a salary o f $4,- 500 each, Col. North, fo r ' years a leading Darke county Democrat; a farmer opposed to the AAA and other New Deal measures refused to support the national and state tickets this year. He campaigned over southern Ohio, among farmers at his own ex­ pense and had much to do with mak­ ing Montgomery and Darke counties Republican. Gov. Bricker made no mistake in naming North on a board where it requires a lot o f iron nerve to withstand the demands o f the ele­ ment in the liquor; business. Even thoygh' North had not supported the Republican ticket he is the type of a man for the place regardless of politics. Here are the definitions o f some of the terms now much in vogue in the halls of congress and public prints. Socialism—You have two cows, you give your neighbor one. Communism1—You have two cows give both to the government and the government gives you the milk. . Fascism—You keep the' cows, give the milk to the government and the government will sell part o f the milk back to you. Nazism—The government shoots you And takes the cows. New Dealism — The government shoots one cow, milks the othCr attd pours the milk down the sewer. no New Dealism analyzed down to date is best given, in the following: I have fio milk, and I have no cow, They killed my pigs, so I have no sow They ploughed up my cotton in the South so sunny, They took my gpld, so I have money, They’ve given my airoplanea.. to France, And they're planning now, to take my pants. I think I’ll go, where it doesn’t freeze, For all I have left, is my B. V. D’s. But why all this worry, and fret, and strife, Weren’t we promised, “ The More A- bundant Life.” Washington for the past two weeks has been a city of red noses, sneezes, sniffles, and coughs, t ' epidemic of colds, old fashioned grippe, flu, and pneumonia has filled the hospitals. No respector o f persons, the germ laid lqw many high ranking officials from the President down. Attendance at Congressional sessions has been ma­ terially lowered as a result o f illness. That the 76th Congress is really serious in its attempt to practice economy, is best evidenced by the. ap* propriaton bill passed last week which funds for the operation and expenses of the Congress. The amount set, up in the budget for legislative ex­ penditures was reduced by approxi­ mately .$2,500,000, or by more than ten perent, by the votes o f the Mem­ bers o f the House, AWnl Notlonol PicturePwMHdtyWarner Sftifriiij} PRISCILLA LANS AND JEFFREY LYNR from th* itag* play by Mark R*«d Ser**nploy by CottyRabhtio* Serialization by Annette Baker ‘Yes, My Darling” comes to State Theatre‘ ion March 9-15 THE STORY THUS FARt Titus Jaywood, a literary agent from New York, arrives in Connecticut to spend the week • end with th* Murrays, at the in­ vitation o f author Mrs. Murray. Ellen, the pretty young daughter o f the family, meets him at the station. Driving him to the house, she explains that she has decided to devote her life to newspaper work and asks him to help her get a job. On the way, they are inter­ cepted by Douglas Hall, a young architect who has hitch-hiked up from Boston to make up d recent fight with Ellen. They quarrel again, however, and she takes Mr. Jaywood in to meet the family, leaving Doug outside. I Chapter 2 EWIS MURRAY, a hand­ some, middle-aged man in yachting attire, /as de­ scending the stairs as Ellen and Mr. Jaywood came into the house. “Hello,” he greeted her, “ Where’s your mother?” “Mr. Jaywood, this is my ’ father. You’ll have to pardon his manner . Under the. admiral’s disguic iS really a banker.” “ Oh, ».v do you do. You’re the chap who's going to sell my Annie’s lovo story?” Murray wanted to know. “ I hope so,” Jaywood told him staunchly although he had blanched at the word “ love.” ’ .‘‘Nice to have you with us. El­ len will, see you to your room. I’ve got to get to Larchmont.” Having thus briskly disposed of mured, “ That’s a very niee record.” “ The last time I had her thrown in myself to keep her from running off with this poet.” She told him with relish. “ Oh—that’s why—” He burst out, then checkedhimself quickly. Providentially for him, Ellen entered with a tray o f Scotch and soda. “ Two fingers or three, Mr. Jaywood?” “ Better make it four!” “Run and fetch the soda,” Granny commanded her. . “ It's right here, darling,” £>I- len was innocence incarnate. “ Well, run and fetch soma- thing, then.” “ Don’t you dare—” Mr. Jay­ wood stopped her. “ You stay right here and protect me from your Granny.” Aunt Connie chose that mo­ ment to arrive, trailed by a maid and a butler loaded with luggage. “Hello, everybody—” she called brightly, coming into the room. She was a pretty woman, of the type that is eternally thirty. Her clothes were six months ahead o f the prevailing mode, and her eyes had a questing look that Mr. Jaywood, from the depths o f long experience as a bachelor, immediately recognized and feared. Granny barely glanced up. “Well, Connie, how was Reno? Have a nice judge?” “ A perfect dear. Ellen, darl­ ing, you're looking marvellous, or are you?" She turned up Ellen’s chin with the tip of a white- gloved finger. - ••u-mfey “Don't young people appall you, Mr. Jaywoody the guest, he would have been off, but Ellen detained him. “ Dad, I'll he gone when you get back.” “ In.that case, better kiss yon good-bys.” He pecked at her cheek. “ Have fun, chicken. Where’re you going?” “ To Edith Colby’s in Hartford. Her Dad ownB a newspaper. Bye, pal.” . They were halfway up the stairs, when s preemptory sum­ mons came from the living room. “ Ellen, is that you? Bring Mr. Jaywood in hero please.” ‘‘Sorry, pal.” Ellen’ put her hands on his shoulders and turned him gently around. “ The voice o f Granny will not be denied.” “ Oh, that’s all right,” he told her patier !y, but looked longing­ ly up the stairs. Granny, a bright-eyed old .oman, dominated the large .raclous living room. She rose to greet the guest, and shook his hand vigorously, eyeing him with keen scrutiny. “I ’ve been sitting here real anxious to get a good look at you?” “ You have?” he asked, sur­ prised. “At seventy-one Granny is living proof that curiousity doesn't always kill the cat,” El­ len told him, giving her grand­ mother an affectionate hug to take the sting out o f her words. “ Mind your -manners, Ellen,” Granny chided her. “ Don’t young people appall you, Mr'. Jaywood ?” “ On the contrary, I like their frankness. ‘How beautiful is youth 1How bright it gleams—’ ” he started to quote dreamily. “ Why, that’s my favorite poem,” Ellen exclaimed. Granny fixed him with a stare. “ Do you write poetry, Mr. Jaywood.?” He flushed darkly. “ Poetry? Me? Why, whatever made you think so?” “ Just a passing thought,” she assured him. “ You know, my daughter used to be in love with a poet, Ellen, go fix Mr. Jaywood a drink.” ' Ellenwent, obviously reluctant, “ Ann used to be one of those feminists, you know, Ran all over Greenwich Village in bloom­ ers, leading suffrage parades. She was in jail nineteen times.” It was May to see that Granny was unburdening herself o f an old grievance. Uncomfortably, Jaywoodmur- vEUen grimaced. “ HeHo, Awvt Connie,” she said, then retritaaSti her gaze to window where she was watching Doug down on the lake, paddling lazily about in the canoe. “ Well, who are you going to marry next?” Granny demanded, with terrible, frankness. Connie answered her with a slightly embarrassed. laugh, “ That’s the problem,” she ad­ mitted. "Oh, by.thc way, Connie,” she) said, with no apparent signifi­ cance, “ this is Mr. Jaywood.” Connie cooed delightedly, nr?d Mr. Jaywood murmured helpless­ ly. Ellen stood up suddenly. “If you’ll pardon me, I'll go upstairs and pack. Good hunting, Aunt Connie.” Connie was deep in remini- safnes o f her Reno trip when Ann walked in. “ And I just said to myself, Connie Nevins, you don’t belong in this" gang. You ought to simplify yourself—live in the country and enjoy the simple pleasures 1” “ That’s right. Best thing ia the world for you. Take a vaca­ tion from1 the -masculine sex,” Ann approved. “How do you do, Mr. Jaywood,” she greeted him casually. “ I’m sO glad you could make it.” “ How do you do, Mrs. Mur ray?” He looked gratefully at her, a serene, slender woman who was taking middle-age in her stride. Dear old Ann — nothing coy about her I “ Connie, you know Lewis is expecting you at the Club for lunch. Hadn’t you better change?” “ Oh dear, I suppose I had. Sea you later, Mr* Jaywood—” Con­ nie’s inflection was unmistake- ably coy. “ And Mother, won’t you go and help Ellen with her packing —” Ann went on smoothly, giving her a meaning look. “ Oh, all right.” Granny evi­ dently hqd long since met her match in her daughter. Ann sighed with relief as they left, and her guest silently seconded the'motion. “ Well, Jay —you look well.” Jay sat down on the sofa be­ side her—“ Ann, I think your mother suspects,” he told her anxiously. “ But Jay, how could she?” Ann was startled. “ I don’t know, hut at least I found out why you didn’t show up that night—-you were in jail 1” (To Be Continued Tomorrow ) Gable and Shearer Co-Starred Subscribe for TOT HERALD Decreeing that firemen and fire water don’t mix, the borough council, holding a special session, at Phoenix- villa, Pennsylvania, recently ordered two volunteer lire companies to a» bolish bars In their quarters, or ho derprivted o f $2,000 annual appropria­ tion, according to a-report in the New York Times.
