The President’s inaugural ad­ dress was the shortest ever delivered by .any President, requiring less than five minutes. The whole ceremony ran but slightly more than twenty minu- ■ tea.

Death was due to infirmities and life departed at the home where the two brothers resided. The twins were born March 7, 1849 the youngest o f seven children of David and Eleanor Collins Kyle, The family lived on what is now the In 1890 the family moved to Xenia where the father ehgaged in the nur­ sery business. Later the Kyle broth­ ers became associated in the business and one of the jobs they' always remembered was planting trees on the present fair grounds, many of which still stand today to shade the grounds. Six years after the family moved to Xenia, Samuel went to Iowa, where he engaged in the nursery business frpm 1886 to 1916. His brother, Wil­ liam'went to Saskatchewan in 1880 to don, Ohio, Owner of the Hagar Straw Board & Paper Co. plant and lands, has purchased the old Ervin quarry property on Xenia Avenue west of town.

Using valuable airplane space to ship dogs belonging to the Royal Fam­ ily right at a time when the public is asked to stay at home, is only in keep­ ing with the old saying, "the King can do no wrong.” It is not surprising that all concern­ ed would deny knowledge o f billing a dog as cargo more important than a uniformed service man, private or of­ ficer. That is the way the war is be­ ing staged—the cheapest thing we have under the New, Deal is the blood of an American youth. The theory being that you can always get more from where what we have came from. The Herald has, had a lot o f fan mail and many telephone messages in complimenting us. on "scooping” both the daily press and radio by five days. We have had letters from California to New York City and scores of news­ paper clippings about the dog story with editorial comment and quips that awe readable With interest.

The Administration proposal to put all men between eighteen and forty- five or eighteen and sixty, under con­ trol o f the War Manpower Commis­ sion, and require them to work when and where directed, at wages approv­ ed by government officials, or be plac- . ed in "labor battalions” to work under military .discipline, is encountering a bit o f rough sailing on Capitol Hill. Both management and labor are op­ posed to the program, insisting it will not work. Others are pointing out the real cause o f present war material shortages'is not the failure of either industry or labor to produce, but rath- pr due tp the mistakes of tlje Com- mWlder.incChief and his subordinates in underestimating military needs and in cancelling ot reducing war orders.
