House, we find that Congressman Clarence J, Brown, gets one minute on the floor to bring to light facts on wool imports that have not been published heretofore. These figures are supplied by the Department of Commerce under Harry Hopkins, the king-pin Roosevelt New Dealer, so they must be so. Mr. Brown had his -remarks extended for the Congressional Record, otherwise neither Congress or the pub­ lic probably would not know just what the Roosevelt admin­ istration was doing to and for the American sheep producer. Mr. Brown stated that in 1938 wofil wastes imported a- mounted to 91,371 pounds. For January this year it increased to 535,160 pounds. Rags 99,108 last year and 1,119.025 for January this year. Woolens over 4 ounces per square yard, 323,017 in 1938 while in January 1939 the imports jumped to 615,973 pounds. ^ England exported to this country during January 1,204,000 yards of wool textiles compared with 550,000 in December and 616,000 in January 1938. Meantime most of the textile mills in this country have been closed down so that the relief rolls and WPA lists can be bolstered to get more spending money from Congress.' These wool statistics even for so late a month as January shool appeal to wool' growers who had a taste of the New Deal 25c wool last season. MUNICH TREATY BASIS FOR RETREAT FOR CZECHS The followers o f the New Dear that waved their hats and suffered parched thirsty throats following the endorsement of the English and French cowardly treaty that gave Hitler power over a slice of a helpless little nation, must now find some alibi or sit back and keep quiet. When the United States, England and France" entered into the agreement with the Czechs, bearing olive branches, and urging the helpless people to sign up with Hitler to save Eng­ land’s face as a power, regardless of a protectorate that existed between England and France to protect the smaller nations, world history witnessed the most dasterdly diplomatic move that was ever known. * We read of what has happened this week and how Hitler is using his Munich foothold to sweep more of the smaller democracies into his lap, yet the big bull-dogs, without a bark or a growl, on both sides of the Atlantic, utter not a word but must swallow their pride in selling out a helpless people to keep a dictator from jumping on France. The turn of events has sickened the general public. The press has anything but praise for what was done at Munich or what has taken place this week. Hitler marches on un­ molested. Mussolini watches on with glee. Chamberlain says nothing while Roosevelt spends hundreds of millions to build war craft to be manned by American youths to* combat on a foreign soil. When that time comes we hope public senti ment will demand that sons of ‘‘New Dealers” be called for duty first, EVERYTHING SHORT OF W AR Persons in or out of the government who advocate giving every aid “ short of war” to Great Britian and France ought to-know that they are talking deadly nonsense. Aid to a bel­ ligerent is war. If the United States makes common cause with two European powers in a colonial conflict with other powers it must accept all he consequences. A victory for. the side it chooses becomes imperative. It cannot stop short of using all possible means to avoid defeat. It may be emotionally gratifying to some people to think o f a painless participation in ah African crusade, contributing materials without men, but once that road has been taken it must be followed to the end. The United States went all over this thing in the world war and started with just such expres­ sions as are now being heard. If we are to guarantee the in­ tegrity of the British and French empires it will mean con­ scripts in uniform. They will be demanded and again they /will be furnished,, There was such talk in 1916 and ’ 17. The result was tha ; the people who so talked found themselves desk jobs while d million of their fellow citizens who., had kept their mouths shut put on uniforms, and 2 million of them went to France to make Europe safe for the democracy it has today. Americans who think that they can do everything except furnish armed men are indulging their emotions in a dream which may be pleasing to them but will be a nightmare to the persons who will have to do the unpleasant work! such sentiments will make necessary.—Chicago Tribune. . < THE CROW IS USEFUL AFTER ALL Ale.ha M. Bonner, writing in “ Our Dumb Animals,” says, “ The crow is considered an undesirable neighbor in most agri­ cultural communities. “ Farmers charge him with pulling up sprouting corn, peck ing holes in their melons and other mischievous and destructive deeds, but they lose sight of the bird’s serviceable work of fol­ lowing in the wake of the plowman’s furrows, and picking out from the fresh, upturned sod, legions of worms, field mice, larvae and the like, which if not destroyed would in time dam­ age the groiwing crop. One should not foget the millions of flies, spiders, caterpil­ lars, grasshoppers and grubs, not to overlook weed-seed, all of which go to make up the bird’s menu.'The cawing fellow might really be given the sobriquet of ‘G-man’ (or ‘G-bird’ )., because of his untiring work of helping to rid the field, orchard and garden world of the ever-increasing insect menace. It is a re­ grettable fact, however, that this useful bird, who does’his part in keeping the insect-public-enemies under control, has so many hands turned against him. No country, state or federal law protect him, and in certain communities a reward is offered for his head,” Hearing: a talk by the head o f the American Farm Bureau Federation last Saturday and his discussion o f the corn, wheat and cotton market and this country does not develop food con­ vinced us that one more year o f the AAA and the producers o f these crops will just about fold up and blow away. We have had ojir’ foreign market raded away in the Roosevelt-Wallaco trade agreements. Unemployment in' this country does not develop food con­ sumption. Neither does importing farm products aid in creating a market at home for farm crops. When we hear that bne Illinois county has 1300,000 bushels o f corn under lock and key with a government loan at about ten cents a bushel more than ' the market price is today, we wonder just what the future has in store for any­ body. Cotton growers have unloaded their crcip on Uncle Sam at a price on loans that exceed* market prices. Wheat is about in the same relative position.. Congress is beginning to find out tLat the nation is headed for something more than a depression or. •i Roosevelt recession, When good old southern Democrats begin to talk a. bout a first class panic ahead, prob­ ably next year, It is no wonder New Deal •leaders take down their hair and suggest that probably our trade treaties should be revised to give more protection to American farm pro­ ducers. Mr. 'Wallace is not making many prosperity speeches just now. Mr. Roosevelt is too busy .getting ready to join England and France in a war against Hitler to care what happens, to the American farmer. ixen raised a neat stun o f course with . the intention the unfortunate family } would provide themselves with the necessities o f the household, Sympathy o f the entire community was evident “ All departments and agencies o f ! by the response.

After all in this day o f nortra modernism the head o f this unforunate family might be right. He can ride as long as the gas lasts and then have his groceries, coal, clothing, de­ livered each week, Why should any­ body worry let along work? ■ The Daveycrats made the -head of the Ohio militia a life time job. Now the Republicans will repeal the act to give de­ serving men a chance at the honor, Republican or Democrat. / ISDIECBREK «FBOWmSWH VT ^Thl* pvfidt locationfir**yon caiyocc<» toallp«ti ofCii*- cJflBoti— and t!i* ideal ac­ commodations at the Pafaca wiftmate*yout tisMddfitefc You’llenjoytheCricketTavern a fine rertaurant, coffeeshop ond bar. Former employees of the once local .paper mill get grape-vine reports of when the plant will start; who owns the mill and what is to become o f it Of course the mill is not going to start soon for the manufacture of paper. There is no power plant there and both boiler and generator equip­ ment are necessary. More than that is necessary—business. With scores of paper mills over the country closed down duo to slack business, what hope is there of this mill starting soon ? We have said it before and repeat again that this mill and many 'other paper mills will never turn a wheel under the' New Deal. RATES AND UP © Th.PAlACt HOTEL SIXTH A t V INE STREETS ANTHONY ELSASSER, MANAGER Disregard of. six simple rules of safety cost- 8,000 pedestrians their lives last year, according to insur­ ance actuaries. They did needlessly because they: Crossed at intersections with no signals. ’ ' ’ Stepped into the street from behind parked automobiles. Crossed highways between intersec­ tions. Walked on rural highways with their backs to traffic. ' T’laycd in the streets and roadway*. Crossed intersections diagonally, Pedestrians were involved in 60 per cent o f the approximately 32,000 fatal accidents during 1038. Pedestrians who died through their own careless­ ness represented 26 per cent o f the total fatalities, Gratitude marks efforts of those who gave aid fallowing a fire which; destroyed a home and one or more! children In a Greene county home, We understand neighbors and sympath- Down in Oklahoma City, Okla., the Daily News has given up the New Deal' cause. After 23 years of journalistic experience it has conclud­ ed quits and leave the fate o f the nation to- FDR. The News followed the Communistic trend but for some reason the readers and advertisers in a state south o f the Mason and Dixon line did not. The doors closed and it was “ thirty” for the News. The same organization that owned the News buried the hopes o f two Ohio papers th'e past year, one in Toledo and the other in Akron, The mortality rate for newspapers that attempted to sail the uncharted course in the economic sea is just about the same as that for small business in the nation, John L. Lewis and his union coal miners will ask an increase o f fifty cents a day in pay. next month. In addition the union wants a six hour day. The pay now is $6.50 for seven hours. Why work six hours when three hour day at about $10 a day? The coal buying public pays the bill anyway and the more the miners make the more the fees will be to the Lewis CIO union officials. Yet the admin­ istration in Washington continues its fight against what it calls "big busi­ ness." parka, its splendid streams, its his toric spots, its lakes, its hunting and fishing advantages. These facts should he sold first to our own people and then broadcast to the world,” urged Raymond B. Howard, director o f pub­ lic relations in the Ohio Division o f Conservation, in a Saturday noon radio broadcast over State WHKC, Columbus. “ I have been amazed,” stated How­ ard, "at the vast amount o f mail re­ ceived daily from all parts o f the United States and Canada, asking In­ formation on the scenic and historic spots in Ohio. Many o f these inquiries relate to hunting and fishing laws and the best places to spend a vacation. Ohio is in the heart o f the nation, and it has, within its system o f , high­ ways, the pathways traveled by a large percentage o f tourists, vaca tionists and business men.” Howard commended as practical and worthy o f early attention the re­ cent suggestion by Governor John W. IBricker that a central information [service be established for the dis­ semination of facts regarding state resources, from the standpoint o f con­ servation, agriculture and industry. Spray Application Against Leaf Curl In Peach Orchards Vice President John N. Garner with­ out fuss or feathers entered the-build­ ing game down in his native Texas where he practices farming and bank­ ing. He was not satisfied that the government was not getting its money’s worth in the “ low-cost” hous­ ing plan. He engaged a contractor and without letting-the public know who was furnishing the money had several houses erected for rent on the investment basis. The V. P. is credit­ ed with erecting comfortable houses 'with modern conveniences, much on the plan o f the government. He 'ound out that he could erect one or more houses for much less than the Mew Deal. In the same town he rents lis houses for $15 and $18 a month while the government asks $27.50 to help the poorer classes. In Cincinnati the government houses are renting for 58 a room. The lower-class you hear ibout has been routed out for the New Deal white-collar political job hold- rs. And the government also asks the city to exempt taxes and assess- nents for water and sewerage. Garner las set the big wigs in Washington ihinking about what private industry ran do against the high cost of any­ thing attempted by the Roosevelts. Garner’s experience is just about he opposite of the “ Tugwell Town” n W. Virginia, erected under the ideas jf Mrs. FDR. In those days a Chi' .•ago mail order concern received the contract to furnish-lumber in a state noted for its pine building material. Some houses had furnaces but not a chimney. Others, had bath tubs but no' water and most o f .them built on pillars on the side of a mountain hill, That .was in the early days o f the New Deal. You do not hear much about those houses costing $8,000 each or more in these days. Get in touch with' a West Virginia lumberman he can tell even more. Small Land Sale For Back Taxes Fifty-six tracts mostly in Bath township were offered at public sale at the court house Monday. T. J. Smith, tax deputy under James J. Curlett, acted as auctioneer. The tracts were sold for delinquent taxes. PLOWING PROGRESSES Spring plowing has been going on with rapidity the past few weeks. Most o f the early plowing has been lone by teams bat tractors will be ised to work down the ground for seeding. Sowing the oat crop is now being rushed. The late Hepry Smith, one o f the leading oat growers o f his time in this section-used to say: “ If you don’t mud ’em in, you cannot ex­ pect a crop.” DECISION WITHHELD Probate Judge Homer H. Henrie reserved his decision Thursday after­ noon on the question o f whether the Winters National Bank and Trust Co., Dayton, is duty-bound to defend a suit filed in common pleas court by Miss Florence M. Steele, Xenia, contesting validity o f a codicil to’ the will o f her mother, the late ’ Mrs. Miriam E. Steele, Xenia, widow o f a cordage manufacturer. Peach growers who did not make a fall spray application for peach leaf curl should be sure to spray for this disease now, or as soon as possible according to County Agent E. A. Drake. For the best results it is necessary to spray before the peach buds start to swell. After bud swelling a part of the curl fungus is within the bud tis­ sues and fungiside will not reach and kill it. Peach deaf curl causes severe losses to peach growers when trees are not properly sprayed. It is a disease which may be entirely absent in an orchard one year and then cause de­ notation the year following. The recommended spray formula is liquid sulfur, seven gallons, in water t o 1 make 100 gallons o f spray. Bordeaux mixture, 8-12-100, may be used. If scale is present, the strength o f the lime-sulfur should be doubled or oil emulsion should be doubled or oil emulsion should be added. Dry lime- siilfur may be used at the rate of twenty-five pounds per 100 gallons, of water. Spraying may be done at any time when weather, permits and the .temperature 45 degrees or higher, Ray Ashbaugh Heads Fish and Game TO EASTERN STAR MEMBERS The stated meeting o f Cedarville Chapter 418, O.
