APPRAISE ESTATE 1 Estate of Pliny S. Hawthorn, was appraised as follows; gr'oss^- $250; deductions, not listed; net, $ 260 . ESTATE RELIEVED The .estate of Pliny S. Hawthorn was relieved from administration. By*a two to one’vote, the Senate- last week passed-a bill making man­ datory thn blanket deferment front military service Of all farm workers. I t will be remeniberd that last Nov­ ember the Congress authorized! such deferment, but,, in spite o£mUch talk to the contrary, thousands of farm boy» have been drafted into the armed services since th a t time. The bill passed by the Senate makes such de* ferment absolutely mandatory, in­ stead of permissive. The measure Will undoubtedly pais the House by a large vote# bat, according to rumor/ faces a possible Presidential veto. The present temper of the Congress indicates that the measure could bfe passed over Presidential veto. The Senate has alec passed another farm bin prohibiting the inclusion of soil conservation payments and other farm benefit* to competing parity prices. In enacting amendments to th* Price Control Act last Fall the Coftjpws* defined farm parity prices la connection with fixing price cell- lags4oil farm products.

Other' store? opened following the announcement. For several days merchants knew that people were stocking up on but­ ter, lard, oleo. It was'no concern of the merchant. He gets no credit from the New Deal for even playing, square himself, in fact he is treated as One 'Aider suspicion and pictured to the public as a Robber on prices, no mat­ ter what he is compelled to pay for goods or services. We get a good story from Xenia wherCr1the Wife of an old line Dem­ ocrat called her favorite grocery and ordered ten pounds of oleo before rationing and the order was filled. Even as late as Monday morning the wife of a'Democratic fanner called her grocery and asked ju st as a favor being an old customer, to lay back two -pounds of butter and she would get' it- th a t afternoon. The grocer had to ’comply with the law!. He had sold out all his butter Saturday night. ' . A, - T Hog Ceiling Price 1 .'- . . , . - b R l f i b The OPA Saturday gave out the information that a ceiling of 13c, Chicago market, Would be placed on hogs. This would reduce the average market price of hogs to the fanner in this section to about 12:4.0. Announcement was made Monday by radio that the price had not been agreed-to by Sec. Wickard. Friction -between the two price fixing author­ ities had .developed -and no ceiling on live stock has been made. Whatever market change takes place until a ceiling, takes place will be reflected" in ceiling prices for pork for retailers. Fulton Lewis, Jr.,‘ radio commen­ tator, who has been touring the west- e ra cattle country and battling with OPA for elimination of.reel tape which is hampering meat production, has urged that all restrictions be lifted by the OPA and packers be permitted to kill all the meatfii&y can purchase. Otherwise he says there Will not be meat for all even under ration, Now that butter is being rationed soon many farm wives are turning to home-made butter which commands 60c a pound; Some have refused to sell cream or milk unless they can get their usual supply of butter. As one farm Wife stated: "Turn about Is fair play”, Another turn following butter ra ­ tioning is the sale of new chnms Of any make or size. Dealers did not have many but the supply was soon' '•xhausted.

Gillespie, of the United States forces here in Australia and have enjoyed his friendship for meny months. Mannie, as he is known to me, is what we call’ a fair ’dinkum’ fellow, that is an Aussie expression for a good conipanioh. “I should imagine he'hak told you in his letters that he is top line hall player here. Well, sir, if he has been too bashful to mention it you can be­ lieve me he is an that.

This was. the intention in the first parity law;1but'Roosevelt held farmers were not untitled to labor costs and ordered price fixing to suit the New Dealers. The bill is expected to pass the Senate a two-thirds Vote which would mean Roosevelt could net risk his veto on the new bill. Roosevelt has approved most wage increases for organized labor but none for farm labor. BQYLAND TRAIL By F » d F .

SPRINGFIELD HAD BIG MARKET MONDAY ON MILK COWS The number of trucks hauling milk coWa to Springfield for market Mon­ day was unusual. We'are told there was way above the average. Most of these milk cows bring good prices and will he made into ration hamber. ger for the city folks. The rush continues this on custom slaughter­ ing. City folks have been the largest buyers of hogs for slaughter and then have the mea) cured. Farmers are all well supplied with meat. The city folks must take New Beal rationing with the farmer eating first right In tine with the White House, better known as An institution, not subject to rationing. Before Main Street was payed It Sfras continually full of chuck holes and dust several inches deep. So dis­ concerting was the dust nuisance on village ,streets that the town con­ tracted With the D. S, Ervin Company! t* keep the streets sprinkled during the summer months. A wooden flume Was erected .a t.the fajls below fiaX mill pe/nd 4o supply jthe -sprinkler wagon. On hot summer days we boys would don swimming trunkjs (cast off p'apts’, and ride about town with our heads protruding from .the man­ hole of the tank. When Col. .Hall’s circus came tq town# we used this same ingenious means to' sneak into the, big tent. The sod having "been removed under the Big Top, the Ervin sprinkler Wagon was engaged just before the performsnee, to sprinkle down, the turf. The driver o f the sprinkler Wagon was waylaid a t the filling flume, and when the 'sprinkler en­ tered the Big Top, its cargo was made up of a1dozen odd barefoot boys, with scarcely enough .water to ■carry through the sprinklers. Waiting 'until' attendants were,- en­ gaged in other duties, and a t a given signal from the driver, the hatch was opened and like -soldiers disgorging from the wooden horse of'aeieiehtTi-oy we piled put to scatter quickly among the spectators. Mayor Wolford, from ! special reserved box observing the strange phenomena suddenly exploded with a paroxysm of mirth that uo antics of the circus clown aroused in him’ during tire performance. - Hitching racks were present be fore each business block and on Sat­ urday night tbe Main Street Was clut­ tered with 'horse drawn vehicles from the hill top tt> the railroad. Merchants enjoyed practically • all- the trade from an area within normal driving range, and i t was something very special which evinced a shopping trip as far as Xenia or Springfield. Our local merchants advertised their wares on the planlt fences bordering the rural roadways and on the walls of covered bridges. Gasoline filling stations had no place in the landscape. “Coal Oil” George, Shroades, horse drawn tank wagor. made the'rrunds meeker twice a week, to supply- kero- sone’f o r ' ramps’-”'and gasoline for stoves... Ohegs Gwens kvould makeh the trip with his' tank wagon from Xenia once a fortnight and deliver Wholesale quantities to the merchant trade. Main Street and the rest of the village was “illuminated”, by coal oil lamps placed a t street intersec­ tions. This required the services of lamplighter, who with ladder And torch would traverse the ehtire town each evening. Cnee or twice a week lamps would be refilled, wicks trim­ med, and chimneys cleaned of soot. Jim Caldwell was the village lamp­ lighter when I wore knee pants. He developed a long stride and hurried gate through* his years of diligence in keeping up a definite schedule in his swing about the town. One of those quaint hooded street lamps stood near our front gate, and many the summer evenings’ frolic the- young people from our end of town enjoyed about its mellow aura. How often too,, we have listened to the groups of colored folk who would gather there to sing. My interpre­ tation of musical quality has changed perhaps, through the#years# but those voices seemed altogether heavenly to me then. The town had an electric light plant a t the time, hut it was not employed for street lighting. The first light plant I recall Was some-’ where along the creek bank behind the old Herald office by the bridge. The puffing of its laboring engine could be heard all about town. The next tight plant, was Ideated along the creek bank adjacent to the stone arch bridge irf the next block'eaSt from the town hall. Elswokth Lowery was engineer for the plant for many years and the last was located ki his very dooryatd. When the budget for coal ran low, corn -cobs Were used to fire the boilers, This required almost constant firing, and the job often fell on the shoulders of Elsworth’s two sturdy sons David and Charles while he went* out on service calls. But there Were many distracting, in­ terests more important to boys than getting electrical energy from the burning of corn cobs. One of these was the flax mill swimming pond a short way up the creek, and to this faVore l rendevous the youthful fire* noi would hie, the while the steam pressure guage would describe a steady Counter-clockwise are.
