Rachel Tipton* married, went on a tirade and came near breaking up the house as the boys say in street par­ lance. Chief Marshall was called and had a tough wrestle with the feminine rough-houser before he landed her in jail. She had broken glasses and over turned tables • and even customers shouted fo r the -officer to use his leaded stick on the offender, who had bepome—-intoxiCated on 3.2 beer which the evidence o f a former trial in may­ or's court was branded as non-intox- icating. . N Rachael was a star witness' in the Turner hearing in mayor's court last ; wepk and one who knew 3.2 would not intoxicate. . In as much as the village has no ac­ comodations .for female prisoners, an —effort-was-made-to-get-Raehel in the .county jail but that department was; full of registrants of' the female, brand Even Xenia City’s brand new and up-to-date female prison depart­ ment had to decline another guest. To- ' meet the requirements -of the law, it was up to Chief Marshall to be host to his guest for the night. He says, he- informed her if she wanted anything during the night he would call hoi* mamma and mamma had promised the* Chief she would come on notice if the daughter was in need of any special! service. But Rachel was not behind, the bahs long until she fell asleep and was unconscious o f her inward bath o f 3.2 until after eight o'clock Sunday morning. Rachael ,probably went*without her Sunday morning devotions unless the Chief conducted the class. She re­ mained a guest of the village until a- bout three in the afternoon, when the sum of $35 bail money was deposited for Rachael's appearance Monday. In such cases the bail is forfeited rath­ er than face the mayor or stand trial, Rachel will get another chance to face Mayor Abel if she is a star wit­ ness for Turner. Having forfeited her bail on a charge of. disorderly .and in­ toxicated, Rachel may have to word her testimony in a more technical way to give the jury something to ponder * over more than just a charge o f in­ toxication on 3.2. Greene countians might,just as well make up their mind that under the New Deal beer parlor With feminine trade we must have more and better equipped jails with modern .tonsorial facilities. The old ’time jail is no place for the modern woman of New Deal ways. Even Mrs. Roosevelt may. touch on that impor- tant topic in her “ My Day’.' column. J * Farmers’ Mutual Aid Holds Election The 67th annual meeting of the Clark County Farmers Mutual Pro­ tection and Aid Association, was held Saturday in Springfield, a large num­ ber of Greene countians being ’mem bers o f the group. O, T. Battin, Selma, Who has served 28 years as president declined re-elec- tion and Minard Evilsizor,*R. 4, was elected in his place. Members expres­ sed deep appreciation to Battin for his long term o f service. C. F. Stewart, Springfield, was re­ elected treasurer, Clarence L. Mit- man, Springfield, secretary and John Ary, Xenia, director. Sales Tax Repeal May Not Materalize For Nov. Election - The Herald gets information that there will be few. if any petitions cir­ culated in Greene County seeking sig­ natures fo r repeal o f the state sales tax. A number o f names were certi­ fied from this county to the Secretary o f ,State,. Edward Hummell, "We have the list and we are informed that a good part o f the list were from Xenia and. members o f the CIO union. Word now is that many if not all have refused to have anything to do with the referendum. The Het-ald will publish the names not only o f those who circulate such petitions but those, who, sign also. The movement is backed fay the CIO and is more o f a New Deal movement, to re-elect Roosevelt, and also Mayor Lausche, Cleveland, who is the Demo­ cratic candidate for governor. Should the sales tax be dropped the main source, o f finance for old age pensions and school funds would be out. There was little chance of the sales tax repeal carrying in the state iut it would not be impossible to get L,700,000 names for the referendum. Secretary of State Hummell has ’uled that petitions can no longer be eft at places of business for people to sign. The person who carries_Jhe_ oetition must swear that he saw each name written by a legal voter. Gov. Bricker Pleads For Moral Values LAKESIDE—A plea for preserva- ion of spiritual and moral factors of American life was-made Thursday by Governor John W r Bricker, Republi­ can, vice presidential candidate, in an address Thursday before the Lake- tide Bible Class. . “ If we are to remain a great nation we must emphasize the spiritual and moral side of our lives,’’ Bricker de­ clared. wlttVe think alot. today about when curboys are coming.back,.but are we ready to receive them ? Are they go­ ing to find the spiritual values that will be needed in the postwar world? “ .We pray for our boys but perhaps it would be better for us to pray for ourselves that we might have courage co keep America the kind o f a place to Which they will want to return” , the governor asserted. Communists Keep New Deal Phone Busy . Says Martin Dies Chairman Martin Dies, D., Texas, has filed his report Oh the CIO politi­ cal action committee which is branded as the political arm o f the New Deal administration- in—the—fourth—teffir campaign. His investigating commit­ tee uncovered telegrams and phone calls between government officials and tjie Communistic CIO-PAC. The report proves violation o f the Hatch act prohibiting participation of government employee? in politics. Sidney Hillman, CIO boss, made the most’ phone calls. C. B. Baldwin, who resigned his job as administrator of the farm security administration at $10,000 a year is Hillman?s chief as­ sistant. Dies recommends prosecu­ tion at once but will not get it because Roosevelt dares not order Biddle to call Hillman or Baldwin before a fed­ eral grand jury. Some of the names reported in the Dies report as having connection by phone or telegram were Biddle, Hill­ man, Perkins, Mrs. Eleaqor Roosevelt Baldwin. The CIO committee had' 23 phone calls to the White. Jf^iae nlnnf - The- ^fi-Wlljgruimble about the wet weath- conversation was with three-of the et" President's $10,000 a year assistants, Niles, Daniels, Meltett, and. Judge .S.. Roseman , 1 Roosevelt’s legal counsel. Others being called by the Com­ munists were Elmer Davis, OWI di­ rector at $10,000' a year Chester Bow­ les, OPA- fixer, salary $12,000 a year, Mordecai Ezekiel, economic advisor Secretary of Agriculture; Bernard Bernstein, treasury department, sal­ ary, $9000; Bess Goodykoontz, assit. commissioner education, federal se­ curity administration, $6,750. “Note the'’absence o f Anglo-Saxon names, in this partial list, the original reported was 71 names. Telegrams were seized from company offices as were telephone records. Many o f the telegrams urg d money to defeat cer­ tain Democrats who opposed, the New Dealers. Followers of the AAA and the FSA might giye some consideration to the political company they are keeping. ALONG FARM FRONT E. A. Drake, Co. Agricultural Agent ♦WHMIlHtlKWUMHtUWMIlMWmHUUHlUIlinimmUMliilW RAINS TOO LATE AND TOOXITTLE— Last weeks scattered showers help, ed, but they were too scanty and too trand soybeans are gloomy. Feed prospects are not bright since most seedings o f clover and alfalfa have perished and hay prospects fo r next year are poor. Pas­ tures have dried up. A heavy liquid­ ation o f live stock, particularly sheep and cattle is under'way. Milk produc­ tion in the Dayton area, dropped 18 percent from June according to John W. Culling, Cedarville Twp., vjee pres ident o f the Miami-Valley Cooperative Milk Producers Association. To salvage as much feed as possible some farmers are, beginning to cut corn and put it in silos and cutting soybeans for hay. Most corn-is be­ yond help, howevef soybeans will re­ cover if early Tains come; Beans are beginning to drop their leaves, pods are short and scattered'and prospects for seed formation are-not good. How­ ever it always- has pained and the rains will come again and, as usual, FARMERS DISAGREE WITH 3A HEAD Oft CROP REPORT JULY RAINFALLJDETER- MTNES CORN YIELD— There is a very definite relationship between rainfall and corn yield, es­ pecially the July rainfall. Corn plant­ ed in a normally moist seedbed will get through June with little rain, and dry surface soil permits easy weed control. However a dry July means real trouble for the corn crop. Studies show that the most critical period in determining corn.yields is, the week, before-and the two weeks following corn tasseling. Lack of moisture in-those weeks is more, ser­ ious than other equal lenghts o f time during the growth of the plant. Every inch o f rainfaii deficiency, in July reduces corn yields at least five percent. High temperatures intensify be damage. For a period of 75 years, n Ohio, July had an averagerainfall' of 4.01 inches. The official report op July 1944, rainfall Treasured at Xenia was 1.91 inches. . , TUESDAYIS WASTE PAER COLECTIONRAY Tuesday is. waste paper day. Tuesday is the day the Boy and Girl Scouts will call at your home for your contribution to the war cause by turning the old paper, and magazines. Your government needs all waste paper. You may have a box o f old letters or records that’lire no longer needed and in storage in the attic. It is well to discard them now and you will aid in removing a fire hazzarrd. If possible have your papers and magazines in separate packages. The Scouts can get a better price for the magazines and books than old papers. Then do not leave youp papers on the street or your lawn unless they are in a box or tied so they will not be scattered over the community by the wind. Waste and scrap paper are valuable because your own groceries and cakes, your suit boxes, are made 6 f waste paper. Then the government must have an enormous quantity for ship­ ping various needed goods to fhe boys oyer seas. There-musfc-be_pat>er pack- ing fo r different explosives. . After all you can see how yaiuable waste paper is at this time. We have had several drives here in- this movement but the one Tuesday is just as important as any of the oth­ ers. Mrs. Harold Reinhard will take all telephone calls if you will call her res­ idence, 6-2432, By doing so you will enable the committee to route the truck to save time and . gasoline in picking up the bundles All o f the profit goes to the Boy and Girl Scouts. Have your paper in shape that it can be handled with ease next Tuesday. f PRICIJ, $1.50 A Y E A S Milk Producers *L . Ask U. S. For Higher MHk Prie^fIn Drought The Miami Valley Cooperativ/5ih^ Producers Association has petitioned the War Food Administration for an increase in«.milk prices due to the dry weather-and feed outlook. As you drive through the country you see fanners and dairymen feeding hay harvested but a few weeks ago for -winter use. This means that the dairy interests will have just that much less feed for winter use. Just imagine your grandfather hav­ ing to get down on his knees and beg for a living price fo r his milk or to be permitted to sell a bale o f hay, a pig. The dairy interests are between the milk trust and the New Deal Commu­ nists. They- should go on a sit-down strike and pour the milk into the pig trough fo r ten days. They would then get some recognition for a striker to­ day attracts more attention with or outside the government than any law abiding farmer. Grandpa’s spirit o f 76 must have died the year the New Deal was born. - ' Shot Gun Halts ■Two Peach Thieves I COLLEGE NEWS j s 5 Rev.. Marion S.

The 100 trees of the young orchard are thriving in spite of, the drouth. The herd o f heifers is looking more like prize winners each tlay. ' - Last week we quoted a statement of AAA Chairman Dodds, Washington, that we would have an abundance of food fo r individuals as well as feed- for livestcjck and this statement was made after a trip through the corn belt* Just how much a man can see of farm crops riding a government war buggy ten thousand feet above the earth is a problem. If you read E. A. Drake’s column in this issue you may get another idea in case you might have been influen­ ced by the Dodd airial trip. The Sun, Springfield, carried many interviews with Clark epuntjr farmers last Satur­ day and some’-of them will be inter­ esting to our farm readers: “ There’s nothing the weather can do now to have the crops” . C. E . Row. land says to save the crops.” He is Clark County extension agent and says 75 per cent o f the corn crop is gone. Eastway Farms pwned by E. E. Greiner: “ Crop damage reported 60 percent on all-crops. Last year we had 60,000 bushels o f corn from 90 acres. We will not get 30,000 this year from 110 acres.” Clarence E. Laybourne places the loss at 60 -percent to all crops, Harry Click: “ We are feeding hay to dairy cows the same as in the win­ ter time.” , Allen Craig, South Charleston: “ 60 percent o f the’ corn and pasture are gone fot-fchis^year. The corn crop is in worse shape than in 1936” , O. D.'Hfbwi, Union National Mills: “ Damage placed at 50’ percent to all crops including fruits,” RAM SALE AND EXCHANGE—. Greene County is one o f the leading purebred livestock breeding counties of the natiqn, and this is particularly true o f sheep. Greene County- flocks are nationally known and have fur­ nished breeding stock to the.four cor ners o f the continent. Let's ,use more of these good Greene County purebred rams in Greene County flocks. Sheep men state that a good pure­ bred ram is more than half the flock. He represents many generations of careful selection and possesses great­ er power to stamp his type on the lamb crop. Many o f our herds and flocks have been thrown in reverse by using scrub sires. Why not throw your flock in high gear by using a good purebred ram. The purebred ram sale and exchange day at the fairgrounds Thursday af­ ternoon is sponsored by the county livestock committee to assist fiock owners in securing a good ram with a minimum o f time and travel. Mrs. Elizabeth Thomp­ son Died At Age 102' In Elkton, Ky. Mr. and -Mrs. John S. Harvey have returned from Elkton, Ky., and Hunt­ ington, W.

Va. : The deceased had a remarkable memory and had retained her mentaf facnlties until a. few months ago, be­ ing able to read and discuss events of today beside recalling historical events of the years past. ^ When she was 85 years o f age she took her first airplane ride o f an hour and upon returning was so thrilled she wanted to take another trip im­ mediately. It took a shot gun shot or two to halt peach thieves at. the Nagley Fruit Farm several nights pgo. W. W. Miller, tenant on the farm made his rounds after a trip to town and discovered two persons helping them­ selves to peaches that were, not ripe enough for market. Both thieves started to run when the first shot was fired but the second brought resultsl one_evidently having been peppered plenty. .. . Miller used'his own court methods for the infractions by the two Spring- fielders. One was being turned over to the' sheriff and the other was pay- tag ten dollars in cash for the green fruit already pulled. The two paid the ten dollars and were liberated.

Wind and Hail Hit Ross Township The rain, electrical and windstorm, the first the eastern section o f the county has had for some weeks, did much to revive the corn crop' in that section but the hail also did its work in damaging the corn. The worst o f’ the damage on the Federal pike .was on the .Neal W. Hunter farm and the Andrew farm across the road, tenan­ ted by Ernest Long. About a dozen large trees .on the old Brock farm, now owned by Mr. Hunter, were destroyed by the wind. Site Chosen For New .

The" iinpruveirent is to be confined to resurfacing o f a number o f streets that are breaking due to the excessive heat this sum­ mer and would suffer greater damage once freezing weather set-in this win­ ter. The question of sanitary plumbing for the jail was discussed and the com mittee instructed to get definite bids. The mayor’s receipts for the month fo r fines ^mounted to $177.50. A communication was read from - Mr. Tyson of the Ohio Tubular. Co., owner of the paper mill property as to certain changes and improvements. Council some weeks ago asked for bids on a sewerage disposal plant but all bids were rejected as they exceed­ ed theengineer1^ estimates. Council also found another stumbling block when it was found, priorities, could not be had for certain materials and that' we had no labor as we were in a cri-, tical labor area. 1 The following letter was read from Mr. Tyson addressed to the Mayor' and council: For the past year -and one half without license or formal.agreement your Village has been using the Old Paper Mill flume and •property now owned by me fo r the disposal o f Ce- darville Village sewerage. The orig­ inal license between the Village and the Hagar Strawboard Company for the use o f this disposal flume requir­ ed ^iat the Village maintain and re­ pair it. Since the Spring o f 1942 the cleaning of the flume was only-fair,- although recently, -there has been a sincere effort on the part o f Chiefs Marshall in this direction. However, this flume is badly in need of repair and this is the entire responsibility of the Village'. For many months the - flume going across the bridge by my pump house has leaked badly into Massie’s Creek, again at the aqueduct below the’Old Mill dam and at several places on down thru the property, particularly where the flume drops thru a pipe from the high to the lower level, where a considerable portion of the sewerage flows directly into Mas­ sie’s Creek, and the rest on my land further down. ? , The subject matter o f this letter is entirely separate and in no way con­ nected with my, discussions with Vil- ■ Jage officials with reference to a per- , manent solution to 'the Village sewer age disposal system-and-should not be confused with it, and the failure o f the Village to properly protect my property is building up. damage and* rental charges fo r the'Village’s ac­ count. The village will please consider this letter as formal notice that some ac- tion.must be taken within the next week to repair and correct in a satis­ factory manner to me or I shall be unwillingly forced to take such steps as may be necessary to protect my interests. ‘ - It occurs to ' me that I have £>een considerate and patient in this mat­ ter during the past couple of years but we have reached a point where talk or discussions are meaningless we have reached a point where talk or discussions are meaningless and and immediate action on the part o f the Village is indicated.
