The wastefulness and extravagance, the inefficiency and plain dumbhead-' ednees of many governmental offic­ ials create public distrust. Continued attempts to socialise and reform the world, when the real job is to save it, injures national unity and delays ,’victory* Tqday the United Slates has in its Army and Navy approximately the same number o f men as were mob* ilized at the height o f World War No. 1. Between, ten and fifteen percent more people are now working In war, industries than during, the first. World War, .BUT—today the government has three times as many'.civilian em­ ployees as were on the payroll a t the peak a t the war e ffo r t ' in 1918. Think it over. A lot o f things are happening to and for the eitisenery in the field o f rationing, In fart there are few that can keep up with tb« confused system- It is interwoven and tangled from Washington down to the last rural precinct that few merchants know from day to day how long they can stay in business. REGULATIONS ON SERVICE MAIL (Continued from; page onfe) may-be filled first. Although mails are dispatched at every opportunity, at times the overburdened facilities canlt&t accommodate .all the mail and it must be held until shipping space Is available. Ships must travel in convoys, in- the interest o f safety, and a convoy can only start when the last ship is loaded and can travel only as fa s ta s the-slowest shipdn the .group—all o f ‘which consumed much time* Transfers o f personnel from one point to another also add to the "time required for mail- to catch up with the men shifted. Censorship, which is done by the Office o f Censor­ ship or military- authorities, may also 'cause some -delay, although this' is held to a minimum. The Post Office - Department does not have jurisdiction over the censorship -of mail. Ship sinkings by. the eiieroy account i fo r much o f the lost mail. “ Many thousands o f letters and packages have,been .lost by enemy action. Many postal patrons have wondered why there- is more rapid and regular -mail “Service from the armed forces than to, them. This is because less ,Jmail-comes from overseas than goes to our armed forces overseas; ships and planes on return trips have more apace-available; and, the location o f addresses J n ;th is .country, is more stable than that o f overseas; personnel. V-Mail letters- are given ^priority in transportation by the A m y and Navy-over ordinary mail, and, When possible, ate sent by plane. Some-of the public are "under the misapprehension that the Post Office Department can provide the addresses and ..locations, o f soldiers, sailors,' and marines' abroad. The Postal Service has no such records. When it is nec­ essary to obtain sUph addresses o f soldiers they may be obtained from the Office o f The Adjutant General, War Department, Washington, X>. C,; o f sailors, from the Bureau o f Naval .Personnel, Navy Department, Wash­ ington, D. C.; and o f marines, from the Marine Corps Headquarters, Navy Department Building, Washington. It is surprising as w e drive from place to place to see how many small grocery store* have closed and. in the city how many store rooms have been made vacant by rationing price ceil­ ings. I t .is predicted Jthat-, many meat stores will be forced to discontinue that line or close entirely, Pew mer­ chants can remain in business and have the gross volume cut from thirty to fifty per cent. Many small packing and slaughter­ ing plants now closed due to ceiling prices on their dressed meats. Sev­ eral .thousand employees o f packing plants, in Cincinnati threaten to strike if*they cannot get more than three days labor a week due to govern­ ment restrictions as to how much meat can b e sold. Yet, the public cannot understand the why o f meat shortage. There is plenty if the gov­ ernment will let the. packers operate full time. Scarcity.and- waste is the New Deal version o f the Golden Buie. Cuba has nearly three million, pounds jot the l^st sugar crop in storage waiting for a buyer here but your Uncle Sam heeds not the warn­ ing even for. the canning season, Cuba is harvesting the cane crop this month and no where to put the new sugar crop.

Stamp No. 12 is good for the next sugar. Federal .‘Judge Merrill E. Otis, Kansas City, dismissed a permanent injunction against a candy bar .con­ cern that had reduced the size an ounce below - the weight o f March, 1942. The OPA brought the suit. The small boys that had no taste for spinach gives -his mother the. laugh today. The New Deal put ceil­ ing prices on lettuce- and spinach on all wholesale and retail sales.

It might be a good idea fo r a lot o f husbands to lay in a supply o f carbonate o f soda fo r use while the wife becomes practical over a range after having beau divested o f her can-opener by the New Dealers.

If the order, cannot be filled in whole or in part the merchant must reimburse the purchaser fo r the ration points un­ used, .He cannot return your ration points unused. The merchant then must write out a ration check on his bank and tbe purchaser must take this to the ration board, where you get in ‘return a ration certificate which will be good in nay store.

The food rationing is to hit the inmates o f Ohio hospitals as well as prisoners. Ohio has canned 55,000 cans o f all kinds of fruits and vege­ tables . and dried 30,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables, a usual custom. The .New Deal ration plan prohibits state institutions having canned goods tp get jthe necessary food not canned by the state. It is much like the AAA trying to collect a penalty, bn in­ stitution farm wheat grown to make flour for bread fo r the inmates. The state refused tp pay, Springfield .restaurants are nsking citizens to eat at home' as they can­ not get endugh food to supply pres­ ent trade, They are closing one day each week and many close early in the evening. " , George Geyer sent out ah inter­ esting notice tp the trade. “ Due to the fact that the learned profssors at Washington have not discovered as yet that food and restaurants are essential to the war effort we find it necessary, in order to have enough help and vital foods while we are1 open,, tb operate this restaurant be­ tween the hours o f 7 A .

Marshall (Continued front first page) boy coveted .from August (through iate September. I loved, particulary, the Torrence orchard serosa the road from the old flou r’ mill (the present F, O, Harbiwn -farm). It was cnce. the largest and finest near Cedarville. Pippins and bellflowers, greenings and russets, tawbahawkips’ and rambo Baldwins -and Winefcaps, vied with each other Jkt matching beauty of blossom and plentitude o f harvest. In those days it was the custom to store apples fo r winter use in earth pits lined with straw. Were more present day people initiated to the flavor o f pit-stored apples, I venture they would fayor a reversion to this one “old-fashioned” method. Farms had too many apples, in those days, even after' butter making, and drying, and earthen storage. Hence, the cider presses were going full blast through the autumn. Many farms had their own small press, but there were many larger tries requiring a thrsher en­ gine to furnish power for the grinder. One such large cider mill was con­ ducted fo r some years by David Tarbox on the banks o f the. creek west o f town, Cedarville schoolboys would make raids on tbe loaded apple wagons as they coursed by tbe old Xenia avenue school on their way to the press. As a rule, the drivers would cast a tolerant eye on these mass raids, but occasionally, the habit o f strict frugality could not be foregone, ‘ and the blacksnake whip would crack menacingly close to brightly patched posteriors. These were the.days.too, when the Cedar­ ville boy actually, went to school with a “ bottle on his hip” . Boys hung as thickly as honey bees, about the catch tub at the- rider press, and shared in - the left overs after the barrels were filled. The Tarbox mill was a big capacity affair, and I have seen as many at a score'of two horse, extra sideboarded wagon loads wait­ ing, in line. •Th e1pummace pummy was shoveled into a large heavily staved receptacle and mixed with straw betimes. When filled suf­ ficiently; ‘.heavy plants were set on top to afford a fla t base for tbe press plate, Then the heavy worm geared press was brought into action. A long hickory pole was thrust in i socket end drawn' about by several ftrawny men,- and which soon sent flic amber liquid gushing from be­ tween the staves, and, flooding the Scuppers. To press out the last bit o f cider a horse Was then hitched to the pole to force a few more turns on the Worm. The fee for this service could be paid ip cash or by diverting a share o f the rider to the operator o f the press. Owners'"of these larger eider mills would' later in winter go into business marketing vioega • I am of the suspicion; now, that the market seemed, to b e most spirited during the-pewod considerably before the liquid could be, labeled “ vinegar” through' ail actual chemical analysis.
