October 81,1887, i s second class matter, _____ FRIDAY, JANUARY 5,1945 A TIP TO MEMBERS OF DRAFT BOARDS . This will be the first time this paper has ever attempted to even make a suggestion to the draft boards of the county. Both boards have to make selections from farm families for the arm­ ed services. Now th a t the government has issued a directive as to reclassification of farm boys, we suggest each board take this matter seriously. The power for selection is not in Wash­ ington but with each member of the two boards in Greene coun­ ty. No call has come for taking men of 18 to 26 from the indus­ trial roles. The CIO unions have a hold on most of the war in­ dustrial labor. The unions will- not permit older men to return to their benches because many of them will not join the union. Again it is known th a t the New Deal administration has several thousand men of 18 to 26 on government payroll, most of whom are there by political pull, These men have been given prefer­ ence for,political purposes while no-such favor has been grant­ ed young farmers. On the face of square dealing there should be no preference with any of the groups when it comes to de­ fending the nation. It is just as important that the nation be fed as it to make war supplies. There are hundreds of thousands of men not fit for war that could take the places of the 18-26 class'of young men a t factory benches. The draft boards in this county might follow this ru le : “For every boy taken from the farm one should be taken from industry." What could be fairer than that? BUSINESS MEN SHOULD BE ON YOUR GUARD What has happened to a few coal dealers in this county and adjoining counties should serve as a warning-to all bus­ iness men. None are exempt if the black hand of the OPA de­ sires to hang a crepe on, your door. The public is not to benefit in any way by the old prohibition enforcement method of ms-k­ in a' merchant appear as a criminal because bureaucratic control has been placed in hands to make a victim of a business man to appeal to the unthinking public. When the time comes tha t a merchant, must pay a certain wage scale for his labor and then not be allowed to compute it in the selling price of his wares, that time is near for the clos­ ing of all business, just what the Communistic element wants to see enforced in this country. The peculiar thing is that the coal customers ofthese supposed highway coal dealers are pic­ tured as in a class with the bank robber. The public is making more money today than ever and it knows that one class cannot be denied fair treatment without the same system eventually placing its hand on each individual. Since the OPA broke faith with the housewife on ration points little or no confidence can be put in that branch tha t wouud try to disgrace men who have been in business for ye$rs and have been held high in the esti­ mation of their neighbors and friends. For tha t reason do not form a conclusion that all coal dealers are crooks or tha t all the bankers were crooks, those tha t FDR promised to drive out of the temple on Wall Street. About the worst that can be said of the OPA outfit is th a t probably ninety percent'of themhave been failures in private business. That seems to be the makeup of the entire New Deal which has proven to be a haven for those who had not been eating regularly by their own effort or as a result of their savings in investment. The public might keep in mind the men in the coal business do not have to continue in tha t business. They can close their doors or they can refuse to deliver coal until the New Dealers p em it them to add New Deal wages as part of the selling price. When the mercury stands a t zero it takes a lot of New Deal hot air to warm the family fireside. For that reason the coal dealer might not be a.very bad citizen a t least four to six months out of . the year. ■. " IWIWWWIHHfW FORSALE*2SSACREFARM 253 acre farm, 9miles N.

BUY BONDS HERE HOME FEDERAL Greene County will have a fair this coming summer but it may be without horse racing or it may. be that all the rural fairs will he closed under man­ date from the dictatorship in Wash­ ington, D. C, At least running as well as grand cirucit races are concerned, they are definitely out. This order was issued last week by one of the nu­ merous assistant presidents, Jimmy Burnes, South Carolina Democrat. If the public is still aroused four years hence when Franklin D. runs for his fifth term, it cannot be said that he ever issued such an order. While there are many engaged in the racing game that should be in the army, there are a lot of football players that should ’also be in the army. However Jimmy did not put the lid on football games New Year’s day when some 300,000 fans hooped and bellowed while boy» in uniform weredieing by the hun­ dred. We cannot stop football for the war but the horses must stay in the stable. , Outside of one game all the New Year games were in the South, and that makes a difference when it comes to gathering in the money. The'farm census which starts this week comes a t a time when farmers should be thinking about the data the government wants by January 15 to compute just how much- income tax you must pay. It will also be a fine time to study how your income tax ;s spent and why the New Deal must keep asking for more taxes and the sale of war bonds. These 26,000 new political appointees have to be paid for no doubt all or at least most of them belong to the New Deal machine and worked with the CIO to give FDR his fourth term. It would be a good time for the enumerators to check up as to whether the farm has a privy of the Rooseveltian period of architec­ ture of WPA days. Certainly the New Dealers should know whether the “Chick Sales’’ institutions are perfect working order. the famjfor w arn is equally impoftanl In tlmea of emergancy when some of these same farmers stood in line to get coal in February 1043. As for the , town folks some would not put coal in t early because the wife had just clean- > I ed the cellar. The upshot was the coal | dealers had to cancel orders because I they could not sell the coal. When all | wanted coal the dealers could not get it, Few there are. that know what a j coal dealer has to do to get coal un­ der the New Deal. The order must be approved by some fuel administration official, who probably has to ask some other board or commission add they or i t must ask some one of the half dozen assistant presidents who in the course of human events must consult “Ants-in-His-Pants Harold Ickes. If the dealer contributed to the Demo- New Deal—Hillman party, he could get an "OK”1in say, thirty days. If the coal dealer was a Republican M was an isolationist, an enemy of Joe Stalin and probably an admirer of John L. Lewis, who can make even FDR eat out of his hand. Now you may under­ stand why you cannot get coal when you want it. These are emergency times. You are living under the crack­ pot administration that does not know what is to happen or what should be done from one day to the next. If your’New Deal neighbor has no coal, a laugh may do more good than.a.tear, The neighbor then would have more of an understanding of what democracy is by application. m ■The distillers and brewers aire a t it with hammer and tongs with the New Deal- playing a double game as usual, The distillers have aired the trouble Mt the brewers have won with the big 4 hots in Washington. They get rub­ ier tires and plenty of gasoline to de­ liver beer everywhere while the' dis­ tillers are held down on delivery to state liquor stores due to gas and tires for the trucks. The fight is getting hotter each day and many wonder just where Gov- Elect Lausche is to stand when he takes over the Ohio govern­ ment Monday and must keep liquor in the state stores. . ‘ KavlngaOLoan Association OF XENIA, OHIO, * All Ae6etffc*s Insured up in $8,000 4 4 N . D e tro it S t. Shortage of feed! More rationing of food. Months ago farmers could not sell hogs unless they had an order or at lealt permission from some dub in the New Deal. We are told we had too many hogs and farmers should cut down. Beginning January 1 distillers were given orders to moke bourbon liquor for thirty days and will turn out a hundred million gallons in that time, Burbon is a straight corn pro­ duct and of course that corn made in to liquor cannot be used- to aid in sup­ plying the food shortage. Now we are asked for greater farm products to feed the world while corn goes into New Deal bourbon. You figure it out to make common sense out of it. We hear a lot of good stories about the cancellation of red and blue food Stamps. One housewife who^had sav- ,ed and skimped to purchase just her daily needs made her position felt in a local .store when told that her sugar canning certificate was no good. She roared out loud and said she had less than a half cup full in the house, She was short of red stamps for meat and there was more fuming. Turning to­ wards the window she saw a beer truck go by and said: “Yes, there goes that darn thing with gasajine and rubber and loaded with New Dealheli” when they won't give us a new tire on an A gasoline card. The grocer smiled and kept his joy to himself but he had to let loose when the housewife said: “I never voted for that gang in Washing­ ton but——- (husband) did. Give me some spinach, I’ll see whether (hub­ by) likes that. He voted for this mix- up, We wonder what hubby really said when he sat down, to a mess of spinach without meat, " A local wheel-barrow patron of the coal dealers wanted some coal Mom was cold and the babies and no coal in the house—and hone in town. More­ over it does not look like there was to be any soon. The patron walked back and forth cutting his tobacco and with serious thoughts, His head popped up j and around in a jerk, when he heard this remark: “Well, the majority yot- i ed for it last November, so they may as well get used to it.*’ Late reports filtering out of Wash­ ington give the public somewhat of a . . _ picture as to how many men this na- *le,d “ stopped. They wait until the Illinois Man Speeds Up His Haymaking - Tractor-Drawn ‘Sled' ; Used to -Pick Up Bales : A clever method of saving labor in haying has been worked out by Z. E. Houser Jr., near Farmer City in DeWitt county, 111. On his 560-acre farm Mr. Houser has a herd of 60 Hereford cows and he has. fed .out as many as 175 feeder cattle and 1,000 western lambs in one year. To provide enough hay for this live­ stock, he fills two bai ns, each hold­ ing about 80 tons in bales. Mr. Houser hires a pickup baler. The bales are dropped in the field as they come from the baler. To pick up the bales and haul them to, the barn Mr. Houser built a sled which is pulled by a tractor. The sled is 20 feet long and 4 feet wide, and made from two logs and old lumber; it carries 33 bales, when loaded three bales high. In picking up bales two men work on the sled with hooks: the tractor does not stop but moves continuously a t about 2% miles per hour. When they come alongside a bale one of the men on the sled hoq)cs it and pulls one end onto the sled. The for­ ward motion pushes the bale onto the sled, where both men pile it in posi­ tion. The Houser’s find it much , easier to loact this way than if the tion lost in one sector during the fierce battle a few'days ago on the German line. We, hear from Kaltenborn that cur forces lost 30,000 prisoners to the Germans and sixty thousand dead or injured. That it will be months be fore the list of casualties will be pub­ lished can be assumed when we give you some figures on how many names cab be printed a line for each name in the Herald. There would be 190 names to a column and seven columns to the page. That would be 1330 names to the page: (If the causualty list for that one engagement was 60,000 it would take about 45 pages the size of the Herald to publish the -entire list. Imagine a New Deal defender of the Roosevelt, Churchill,. Stalin world pol­ iticians undertaking such a ta sk .. In fact few of the Democratic papers that were shouting Roosevelt and a. fourth’term now have much to say in defense of the Commander-in-Chief. Their silence is pitiful in the light of the change of public sentiment. With all three charging one thing or anoth­ er against the other and all jealous of each other the Demo-New Deal shout- ers now have little to say. In fact thousands of parents are saying what the November defenders of the Fourth term dare to say. Yqu will hear much more piffle Saturday when you' get the “State of the Nation’’ baloney. During the debate in the Senate be­ fore the vote was taken to confirm the half dozen “hew assistant secre tavies of state, a Democratic Senator charged that Clayton the “Cotton King’ had sold thousands of bales of cotton to the government for war pur poses above ceiling prices. That was a genuine legitimate transaction. He probably was getting his campaign contribution ready early. Or he may have been one of Roosevelt inside or ganization workers that was to get the “run of the mill” for. his membership in that famous' White House $1,000 membership Club.’’ Over charging for coal is a serious matter but Bteal ing from the government is “O K" in certain New Deal circles. baler has made two rounds and pull the sled between,two rows of bales, driving back and forth to load from either side. With the method used the three regular men on the farm can put up the hay as fast as it is baled and Mr. Houser feels that the additional charge made if a loading device were pulled directly behind the baler would not be justified. At the center of one bam there is an elevator running up over the roof like'an outside corn elevator. It con­ sists of a wooden chute a little wider than a bale and a single chain, from a corn elevator, with four steel cleats. Power for running (this con­ tinuous chain is provided by an elec­ tric motor. The end of the elevator is close to the ground so that when the bales are pulled up-to it on the sled they can be tipped onto the chain without lifting. Instead of the chain Mr. Houser originally used an old thresher belt with wooden cleats. FARM BOYS UNDER 3* TO BE DRAFTED BOQN War Mobilization ■Director James Byrnes, on Wednesday instructed all selective service boards to call for more farm boy* between the ages of 18 and W years. It is said there are 364,000 of farm boy* of that age in the nation. Byrne* said nothing of the 314,000 boya of 18 to- 26 years that are on government pay roll in Washington, mostly relatives of New Dealers that are escaping the draft for service. GRAND JURY REPORTS ON TRUE BILLS ON WEDNESDAY The Grand jurd reported Wednesday after a one day session with three dif­ ferent persons named in three true bills. Indictments were returned against James H. Collins, on two separate counts of felonious assault; William Ellison on a morals charge, and Gus Wright, grand larceny.-The jury did not return an indictment against any one in connection with an auto acci­ dent when two persons were killed December 22 on Route 4.
