In the future over-age service men who apply for discharge will be required to submit with -their application proper, evidence that they will enter agriculture or essential ,war industry upon their release, which will also .require approval of their State Director of Selective Service. Upon release from service such men will be placed in the Enlisted Reserve, where they will be subject to recall to active duty if an emergency, or if not engaged in an essential civilian occupation. It now appears rather certain that men in the 38 to 46 group will not ' be called to active military service through conscription as their is a suf*, ficient number of physically fit young men to meet all army and navy de­ mands- Of course, i t is entirely pos- " Bible, and especially if the Austin- Wadsworth Bill is enacted into law, that such men may be called for the ■performance of essential wftr work* According to latest information from Selective Service Headquarters, men with dependent children will* not be called to active service via the draft before July and, of course, if the Kil­ day Bill becomes law, the drafting of « fathers may be further delayed. In the meantime the Investigation being 'conducted;, by a subcommittee of the House Committee on Military affair:, headed! by Congressman Costello, is resulting in many civilians employees of the government entering military service.’ It' is claimed that as many as three hundred thousand young men between the ages of 18 and 88, who would otherwise be subject to draft, have escaped military service because of their governmental positions. as late, of bond, APPRAISE ESTATES Four estates were appraised follows: Florence N.

The state is now in Republican control with state ajid national NeW Dealers urging support on account of the Roosevelt administration. CASE OF RABIES Dr. Leo Anderson has received word from the State Department that positive rabies Was found in the head of a yearling steer belonging to Marion Wildhian. Tli? head was sent to ColUmbus following the death of the animal. The above telegram was received by 'the Herald, from Sen. McNary in ^•eply to a letter sent to him by the Herald in behalf of the farmers of the nation that were being used by !the New Deal to back their fight with John L. Lewis, . i ■■ The Senate became frightened over the Lewis situation and not enough •votes could be mustered to over-ride the Roosevelt veto of the Bankhead farm price hill, * • Wednesday the Senate voted how­ ever to return the bill to the friendly Agriculture Committed and i t can be brought out - enytimfe. The New Dealers, were defeated;.in this clever step. ■ ■ The plan the NeW Deal was to tie up all farm prices jbefore the ad­ ministration had to | face John L. Lewis and his demand^ of a $2 a day increase for his miners. With farm prices fixed Lewis would get the be­ hind the scene compromise of $1,60 day increase, which! would‘not be inflation with the farmers feeding the nation -on low fixed prices and compelled to pay "inflation’' . prices for everything they hafe to purchase. Sen. McNary iiifonps the Herald that he is favorable and will support the Pace Bill to include the cost of farm labor in fixing Iparity prices. This bill is before the (House a t this time,, The New Dealeti; have refused consider' the labor p f the farmer or bis family in fixing {prices and the Pace-Bill is to make this compulsory. Most all Republicans will vote for this measure, RooseveP bad charged tha t both the Bankhead and the Pace measures would plunge the- nation into infla­ tion. , More money for the farmer Would be dangerous but not so with organized labor, - At the Sunday night Forum broad­ cast j p- Washington, labornr- ganization leaders faced Cong. Fred Crawford, R-. Mich,, and Sen. R. O. Brewster, R.,' Maiiie on the issue of organized labor, Cong, Crawford held that organized labor was forcing un­ organized labor, most farm labor, in involuntary servitude. . He pointed out freezing farm labor on the farm with ceiling prices on farm products meant low cost living to the .higher wage groups. The labor leaders pointed out farmers had. kept their labor in slav­ ery by not paying higher wages in keeping with-industrial, wages and: that present fixed prices warranted better wages and living conditions for ftjxra labor. The leaders also pointed out the time was near when all farm labor would bp organized under social security. Labor con­ tends if we hnve inflation it will bo due to -high farm prices, It was admitted that the New Deal farm program had not kept down the cost of living as expected—a ll'a t the ex­ pense of the American farmers.

Through the years it has been the Reife house, the Lambs house-, the Foster house, and others before and after of which I have mo knowledge, I am told that James Caldwell ran a drug store there be­ fore the Lambs took over, and that Lamb continued with the apothecary and Bric-a-brac store in conjunction -with his hostelry. Next we arrive at the spacious Gaines’ property- now possibly one pf the older build­ ings of Main Street; ' I t was owned by a Captain Gaines. In the next grouped frame structure "was ‘Henry Sharon’s saloon. ' Billy MacFarland had a restaurant and barber shop next to the railroad. In the rear of the saloon was-a yard enclosed by a high board fence , and it was in- this sequestered -dooryard that barroom brawls were settled_ with “dukes”, tooth; and. boot, and. no holds barred. Cedarville urchins occasionally ven­ tured there-to gather bottles which could be mai'keted a t a penny each'. W. P. Townsley ran a rest3umat in the same block in after years. He was one of the esquires of our town,: and was an outstanding figure with his frock Coat and hell-crowned .hat, A story is told that when “W.P,” first ventured into the bonds of mat­ rimony, he journeyed to Springfield to procure items of furnishings for his household. His immaculate cos­ tume and formal bearing obtained for him the special attention of the store manager who feared to trust his sub­ ordinates with the job of attending so; distinguished a patron. Having gone to great effort to assist in choosing pieces to the customer's liking, the manager drew up the figures and presented, it with all the grace he could command. “Gr’r ’r- tumph, gr’r’r ’rrumph,” began the pompous “W, P,” “isn’t there a spec­ ial priviledge to one of.the cloth.?” After a period of readjustment to the shock, the storekeeper retired to the precincts of his private office and in due course returned with a new bill which would not loom as brightly in the profits column. Since •“W. P.” often related this episode, I implore immunity from any disfavor which might evolve fropn this chronicling authorship. ^ The first locomotives that rattled through Cedarville Were Wood buning and had enormous cowcatchers and funnel-topped smoke stocks with a screen to retain the sparks.

Problem: WhatToCan With No Sugar?. The OPA does not know yet wheth-’ er to let the public can fruits owing*' sugar requirements. Another is­ sue is housewives may have their ration points removed according to the number of quarts of fruit canned,. It is said the city folks complain that' farmers can can fruit and also use their points to purchase commercial canned fruits. The rural housewife wants to know' why city folks cannot, d o ' likewise.
