Mr* Young spent thirteen years int Japan as a newspaper correspond- , ent and was head of the International News Service there. ,He' was placed . . . in solitary confinement for 2 days as a spy and then was forced to'leave the country. Following are facts a- bout Japan given in his interesting address: •The average Japanese- family has seven children. The families of that country live like rats in crowded, un­ sanitary settlements, Their main foods are dirty rice which is only partly cooked and pickled fish heads. Most o f them: have never heard of bread and butter. The mother and children old enough to work keep the’ shops operating and producing the much needed-war-materials. There is compulsory education and military training in the country,, all o f which ' is based on the American educational system.. The boys are put into mili­ tary training at the age of 12 and the girls are given medical and hospital service training. Their war plants are furnished with tools and equipment which were made in America during peace time. Some o f the tools and machines they are us­ ing are made in our own state of Ohio. ' Many parts designs used in their planes and cars are from Ger­ many as well as all the sparkplugs Used in their motors. The military set-up in-Japan is composed of the best- ideas that can be copied from all the other countries of the world. The army is composed o f-1(^million men. ~ ' There have been -150 thousand killed so this war is far from over yet. The United Nations will be. very lucky if they can end this .war with. Japan in • two years. . ■ . ■ , The villages are made up of houses or huts composed of paper and bam­ boo; Mr. Young had with him the lat­ est news telegram of the day, from Washington which had been received from Japan. It read: “Japan has an­ nounced that a large number of B-29- had been flown over and had dropped thousands o f tons of incendiary bombs but that only two fires had started.” Mr. Young laughed at this. At .this • '"\ tim e of year there are prevailing winds and a small fire would wipe out vs whole visage quickly. These people expect us to believe their news broad­ casts and reports. They won’t admit defeat. ' The space in the Pacific where>$his war is, being fought covers 2 million square miles. The Japs ’ have ' been preparing ■ for this conflict for many years. They have a 4 years supply o f crude: oil buried in tanks under­ ground. Tokyo is the center of the ' machine tool factories. There are GOO plants there. There are 15 Naval bases and they, have the largest coast guard in the world. Up to a few years ago the United States was fur­ nishing Japan with planes, so 65% of the planes used in this war are Amer­ ican made. There are 9,700 islands occupied in the Pacific Ocean by the Japs. All the electrical and wireless apparatus in Japan has been made andf -set up under operators who have been trained here ir$,America.. Japan is known ^^M pV odu ctio ft o f Radio T u b e s ^ '^ V S r X j^ a d e by the women of- th^ l’w^pir'y who work in the factories for only $1.0.00 a month fo r a 72 hour Week. These tubes are" made according to Ameri­ can patents. •The combined populated settlements o f Japan arc equal to a section of land the Size of 1-20 o f the state of Mon* fana. This small territory is inhabi- ‘ ted by 70 million people. -The estate o f the Emperor, pr Jap Qod, covers , - 521 acres. Mr. Young said he had only one desire v and that' was to he back in Japan and help place a nice large block buster on the Emperor’s lawn and beat it and let it send that Jap God where he belongs, The Japanese National Motto is: “ Sign and Resign” . They have fol­ lowed this prbdecure many times. All that is necessary to break a treaty (according to them) is to kill .the man- who signed it. One occasion in pat- ■ ticular proved this. The Jap Prime Minister came to the United States for a conference. He agreed with the other nations on all subjects discussed and in the end signed the Peace Treaty, ‘On his return to Japan, he . was assassinated because Japen want­ ed to start preparations for a war The United States was blind and - not realizing what theyjntended to do sent the Emporer their sympathy and also sent a beautiful display of flow­ ers for the funetM o f the Prime,Min- Ben E. Cline Gets j- » No More Gasoline For Duration Ben. E. Cline. Spring Valley, took a trip to Florida last winter, using up gasoline that belongs to the Roose­ velt royal family. Charges were fil­ ed with the ration board and Ben was given a bitter sentence, no more sup­ plemental gasoline fo r the duration of the war. William Pettiford, 114 Marshall st., Yellow SpHngs, was cited for speed­ ing, and must do without gas for 60 dnys. Greene Co. Farmer Dies Following Fall /. - - .

These persons have volunteered their services for hauling perishable farm products from farms to canneries in the event o f an emergency. HESSIAN FLY GIVEN SETBACK— Late wheat seedings last fall gave the Hessian fly a real setback. A sur­ vey made throughout the state just before this summer wheat harvest showed that the Hessian fly popula­ t i o n s the lowest for any year since 1918. The survey'reveals that Greene County had only 1 per cent of straw infested while the state average was per cent. , T. H. Parks o f O. S. U. states there- is only one effective control measure for fly damage; that is by delaying planting. By so doing the wheat will be small until after the adult Hessian fly stops laying eggs.. The fly free date for Greene County is October 1. Earl of near Xenia, and two sisters, j privy if you own 'one.

In the period 1932-4-, the average ratio was 12.9 bushels o f corn for 100 lbs. of live hogs. In^the first five months of this year, 100' pounds of hogs would buy from 12.1 to 12.7 bushels o f corn, as compared with a purchas­ ing power of 14.3 to 17.3 bushels of corn for 100 pounds of hogs in the same months of last year.

Bromfield declared President Roose­ velt and - the administration “ have grown so old and quarrelsotne. that it is time for a change in Washington.” ' He predicted “ At least one-fourth o f the Democrats in Ohio will be a- gainst the President, and three or. four million throughout the. nation will vote Republican in November. FALL TURNIPS— For best growth turnips require two things--coo! weather and ample moist­ ure.. These are two things we don’t hnve much of. About the middle of August is the time to get fall turnips seeded nnd we can hope for cool weather and more rainfall during their growth. The soil should be cultivat­ ed for a time before the turnips are seeded to reduce^ plant. lice damage. Seed thinly ip rows fifteen inches a* parkt and when the tops are two inches high thin the plants to two , or three inches apart in the rows, » Opponents Of FDR Organize in South Southern Democrats are organizing to hold a block of electoral votes a-> gainst Roosevelt, Georgia will have a combination ticket of Bix Republican and six Democratic electors, Texas will hnve an out anil out anti FDR slate.

BUYWAR BONDS DON’T SUNBURN POTAT6ES— - * Potatoes are too valuable to iet them sun scald. Sun scald, which. may be particularly bad during July and Au­ gust is caused by direct sun’s rays and soft rot will develop from two to four days after exxposure. To pre­ vent this damage pick the potatoes up immediately on hot sunny days. PARCOMBINE REDUCES SOYBEAN COSTS— Harvesting soybeans with a com­ bine costs only about half ns" much as harvesting by other methods and the loss .o f beans by combining is less than with other methods. The com­ bine should be adjusted before start­ ing to harvest beans to reduce crack­ ing and waste. The principal causes of excessive cracking are too high cylinder speed, too little clearance between cylinder and concave and too many concave teeth, and too many beans returned to the cylinder. Beans carried out with the straw and pods are due to over loading sieves, air blast too far back on the sieves, too little air to lift straw from the sieves, air blast great enough to blow back o f the sieves, or sieves closed too tightly. FARMERS MUST REPORT SALE OF ALL MEAT Housewives are much disturbed a- bout the OPA forcing second and third class meat on the market “ point free’ while the best cuts from high grade require plenty of tokens. One reason for forcing this meat on the market is to give the packers a high­ er profit. This class o f meat costs less per head or pound on the farm or .at market terminals. Aged honey cows that are no longer fit for dairy purposes go into this class of ’ meat. Half starved range western cattle also will go into one or both o f the above-classes. Most of this grade of meat is consumed in the cities. The average country butcher as is foqnd in this county does not; kill and does not have a market for secondhand third class of meats. The city folks that preach the *New Deal should not be permitted to purchase first grade and will n o t see much o f this class under the present OPA or­ ders. Effective Aug. 21, any farmer who sold 6,000 pounds or les’s, dressed weight, of meat produced from his own- livestock during the last year and having a point value- must file with the OPA a report of h’is sales. • 'The new OPA order on second and third grade meat has caused a flood of old cows being shipped to-all mar­ kets everywhere.
