Be­ sides taking1a lot of time it actually reduces^he yield of these vegetables since the removal of'a portion of the tops of the plant cuts down on the manufacture of plant foods. Neither is it profitable to lift BWeet potatoe vines that have started to root along the stem.*, On. the other hand the pruning of tomatoes and. cucumbers has some merit. By removing the side shoots of tomatoes and the tip*rqf the later­ als of cucumbers, it ip possible to grow two or three times as many plants in any given apace. There is also a larger number of fruits on the remaining stem of the plants, LET’S REDUCE COMBINE LOSSES Lots of wheat will be combined this week and G. W.

AUCTIONEER CHARGED WITH . VIOLATING HITLER RULE Guy W. Katzenberger, 49, Green­ ville, auctioneer, facesj a federal in­ dictment for “knowing; and willingly"’ selling 1,000 bushels of corn a t $1.19 a bushel when the OPA (Hitler) ceil­ ing price is $1,11'A warrant has been issued for his arrest and the sale was made April 18th. He is. out. on bond of. $1>,000. • The fact the farmer owning the corn and the buyer were satisfied with the transaction makes no differ­ ent under the New Deal brand of de­ mocracy in what we know as Amer- 1 . 'Dark ceunty has been a Demo­ cratic county for years but went over to the Republicans a t the last elec­ tion on the New Deal issue. The last chapter makes it double sure of.the largest Republican vote in the history of the county which means much to carrying the entire Republican ticket in the state this fall. There are prob­ ably a thousand farmers in Greene county that are willing to either sell or pay $1.19 a bushel for corn today. A Federal Court in a Pennsylvania case instructed a jury to brin ; a ver­ dict of acquital of a similar case on the' groun.d the OPA had not made a case with sufficient evidence. GOVERNOR JOHN W.

The drouth of three weeks, or more is reducing‘the feeding value of the pastures for live stock,—I t has reduc­ ed the output of victory gardens to a dangerous degree. One gardner says he pulled up three hills of potatoes and found but two potatoes about the size of a quarter. According to many farmers the com borer is doing great'damage to that crop, much like last year: Anoth­ er who put out sweet corn for canning says his crop will be far less than half of last year even though we get rain yet this week. While the intense heat has been good for wheat harvest and making hay it has been hard on laborers. We get good reports of the wheat crop which is of good quality in most cases and the yield runs from twenty to thirty-five bushels per acre and th$ test is around 60 pounds, with a few reports of 61 pounds to the bushel, :<1RE DAMAGES MORGAN BOOK PLATE COMPANY IN Y.

ITGHESNEY Ilfiri? is a piece of news that we are a tJS e rty to publish for the first time anfi-Tt will be interesting to those who follow political trends and citizens in general. Tho late Robert X). Williamson, who Ijadserved a number of terms in the Ohio legislature as a member of the House, desired to retire following a break in his health, lie had been rad- vised- by his physician'that it would be- best to retire even though he had Hlpd for another*nomination. Two years previous -the name of Dr. W. .R, McChesney had been ^mentioned, by a number of citizens in Xe,nia fo r the* same seat but he would jnot con­ sider running against his good friend, ■ “R. D ” Mr. Williamson drove to Cedarvjlle to discuss withdrawal with the writ­ er and also to consider who would be - available for the post in case ;he did> withdraw. We suggested Dr/McChes­ ney, knowing that some of his Xenia- friends had proposed his name a t one time as fme fully qualified for the House seat. Mr. Williamson replied. the Dr. whs the man he had in mittd— as his successor but was undecided as to the method of' approach, there be­ ing but a few days left wheti a candi- ' date could file, in the primary. The writer got in touch with- Dr. McChesney a t the noon hour and he was given the information. Not hay­ ing up to that time given the matter any consideration, he wanted to. talk / to Mrs. McChesney and a few friends. Knowing-some of the kinks and turns' in politics we urged him to -keep his considerations wholly with, his wife' for if it became known that Mr: Wil­ liamson was wanting to retire, there would be .other candidates: The Dr: kep t his counsel to his family and the next day wanted to meet Mr. Wil­ liamson and that date was fixed’f o r . this-office. The two went over the plans and-both the .writer-and Mr. Williamson-urged the Dr. to-get out his petitions a t qnce and have; them filed before the closing date. Mr. Williamson had agreed to keep his name on the ballot until after it was too late for anyother, petitions to be filed. A • week or ten days later he announced through the press with­ drawal as a-candidate due to poor health, of which the public was aware. Following the completion o f ar­ rangements between Williamson- and McChesney, the former'jn shaking . the latter’s hand, stated: "Dr, it is my only hope that you can serve this county in the legislature longer than I have and as long as you live." Mr: Williamson had his wish ful­ filled for Dr. McChesney passed a- way while a member of the House. Mr. Williamson was an outstanding farmer and nationally known live stock breeder and a member of* the State Board of 'Agriculture and his leadership in the legislature gave this county a prominent place in Ohio af­ fairs. The county had a worthy suc­ cessor in Dr. McChesney who was known in the educational world as a leader. His influence on the platform and on the pulpit or the political plate form gave Greene county recognition of equal if not far more extended ser­ vice to the state than did Mr. Wil­ liamson, yet both were leaders in their respective fields and the county will always be proud of their records. Both Mr. Williamson and Dr. Mc­ Chesney agreed there should be no publicity of the- withdrawal of the one for the other and we agreed there would be none as long as either lived. We do not consider the publica­ tion this piece of local news a viola­ tion of tho trust the two men pu t on us as we have kept the faith as long as both lived and that was one of Mr. Williamson’s wishes that he could he succeded by his olOse friend so long as as he lived. There certainly is nothing that pays higher dividends in friend­ ships than keeping faith with ones friends and associates. -We might re­ view another similar experience be­ tween two candidate for office but now is nob the time nor place and it might never be put in black and white for public review, SCARLET FKVElP^ASR The two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Clemans, south Main at., is reported a victim of scarlet fe ver.
