' Four youths had stolen a car at Hedies, near Cleveland. A ll went well until gas ran low. The car was .abandoned at the C. H. Crouse farm 5 «i the Columbus jpike East o f town. :Hare they picked up "the Eldon Wall car, who resides on the Crouse farm. This car was adandoned on Cedar street when gas gave out. The boys had turned to that street for Route 42 - to Xenia. This car was left near the A, M. E. Church. The quartette found the key in a car owned by Mrs. Anna Collins Smith on Cedar Street This was an invitation to pile in and get away. The car started and then it began to buck and snort and this awakened 'Mrs. Smith at 1:3d Saturday morn­ ing. She gave the alarm to the neigh­ bors and the qttartette jumped from the machine, two going one way and two1the other, all-on a run. Chief Marshall resides next to Mrs. Smith and gave the alarm to nearby towns. Looking over the streets he found a lone youngsterj who claims ~to be 17 sitting on a curl) down town. He de- nied that he knew anything, o f the affair. However, it is said he was • . identified by Mrs. Smith as one o f the .party, the street light lighting the street in front o f her home. The . boy was held for several days and then, turned over to the: authorities in Xenia. Finally the boy admitted he had a part in the attempted theft but he! refused to expose the other three. I The story told by the boy was that [ the gang stole a car in Erie, Pa.,! another at Medina and then the two j local cars. Whether he will be; held by the county, authorities or turned over to Medina authorities has not been decided as the Prosecutor Jiah been out o f the county on vacation. ’ ALONG FARM FRONT E. A.

Due to the fact that the cattle were pastured on the Wheat during May the crop Was a* bout the last.to ripen for cutting, In the ‘gay nihtios’ it was common to pasture the rye field but who ever heard o f pasturing the wheat ? Twen­ tieth century stuff, you seel President and Mrs. Vayhinger were . .a t Bradford, Ohio, last Sabbath where former gave the message to Pres- riau Congregation. Sgt. LeRoy S.

OATS CROP BEST IN YEARS— One of the best crops of oats in years is now .being harvested. A lar­ ger acerage than normal was seeded this year and the wet-cool spring 'Was ideal for the crop. The straw made good growth and yields of grain will be good. T‘he peerage o f oats has been de­ clining and in recent years has been replaced on many farms by soybeans. Previously oats acerage rose and fell in direct opposition to the acerage. and served largely as a replacement for wheat failures. A pehk of 13 j 000 acres was reached in the\ twenties, however, the present acerage is a- round 5000 acres. . ■. CLIP WHEAT STUBBLE— Legume seedings in wheat have made remarkable growth- and proB- pects are good for a large crop next year. To reduce injury to the legume seeding and improve the quality o f forthcoming hay crop the wheat stub­ ble should be clipped. ‘ Stubble left by the combine may be cut low since close cutting will dis­ courage weed growth as these plants grow from buds along the stem but will not injure clover . or alfalfa, which produce new growth from the crowns of the plants Removing the straw will help the legume and result in less stubble in the hay. BBEEBEB 0 . FAIR WEBS TUESDAY The ODT, whatever that is, gave an prder that almost prohibited all county fa ir s .. Protests poured in on the New Dealers and then came a modified order to permit fairs to open as usual, 'The order relates "trading area", as the grounds for opening, a misnomer 'term for pure blunder, The new order now permits alt conscien­ tious New Dealers to attend the fair without violating .any *of the New Deal Russian directives. ‘ Many Ohio counties never intended to observe the ruling of the almilma- gated crackpots in Washington. NATIONAL SAFETY WEEK— The week o f July 22-28, has been designated by President Truman as National Rarm Safety Week. Farm accidents which cause some. 1400 farm residents *.to lose their lives each month, and 125,000 others to en­ dure injuries, constitute a great waste o f time and materia) as well As untold human suffering. The skill and labor of farmers are vital to the nation, so their safety is a vital factor. Sound safety practices which reduce farm hazards should be developed to stop the needless waste of farm manpower and property, SECRETARY ANDERSON TO MEET WITH FARMERS— Clinton Anderson, secretary of ag­ riculture will be in Cincinnati Satur­ day and Sunday, August 4 and 5, for a conference with farmers and farm leaders Saturday afternoon and to speak over WLW on the “ World. Front" program.

They have not eased up on their efforts, rather they have shown greater purpose each year! Now that they are entreated to “ fight with food and bondB" they are meeting and even passing earlier ex­ pectations. * The service flag at the Court House represents more than 4,000 Greene County boys and girls in the ranks of the. war. Hundreds of these are from our farms. These same young people not so long ago were bringing their 4-H Club and vo-ag calves and pigs fij the fair to exhibit what they had done to produce some o f the. finest livestock in the county. Or they, had fashioned dresses and esembles that helped to make the style show a suc­ cess or had saved the freshness of slimmer vegetables and fruits in their canning o f these, precious foods. These soldier-children are an added incentive that farmer-fathers have, this year, to produce more than a few years ago they would have thought possible. One of the factors that contributed to the present success o f the farmers was the Greene County Fair where new devices or better means of em­ ploying the old ones could be Been, and discussed. The fair is a clearing house for ideas to be exchanged, It serves, too, as a slight breathing spell between the rigors of spring and fall work. It is a good place to see how well the other fellow has been doing hia work or* how clever he may have been to think up some labor-saving device. The women of the county appre­ ciate their Achievement Day, The Greene County Fair might be consid­ ered an “ achievement week" or an in­ spirational holiday. One of the things our people have lenrned from this war is that of the strength and value of the family unit 4 . . . that our hearth stones are the stepping stones to national valor and vigor. ' The fair, primarily an agricultural organization, does cater to each mem­ ber o f the family, town or country, while emphasizing “ the family” as the most important unit in community life. At the fair are things to see and events to enjoy that are suitabie to every age. There is plenty o f whole­ some fun, which to Americans is a necessary ingredient in every family circle Greene County Fanners and our neighboring counties, too, are looking forward now to attending the fair, of course, but many of them are plan­ ning to exhibit some o f their pro, ducts. "* Why don’t you Mir, and Mrs. Far­ mer, make a survey o f the things' you have produced? Perhaps your wheat or heifer or pig . . . or bread or chicken, your kitchen apron or your neighbor, tool Why pot show some­ thing at the fair as well as attend it? Exhibiting addB zest to attendance. You know that old county saying,, “ Greene County Fair, then three frosts, then Christmas!" That’s an illustration o f how fast the time flies so better start now to see What you may have to show. Farmers, more tired than usual, more concerned for their absented soldier-children, will' need the few days o f the fair to refresh and restore their unbreakable determination to meet the entry , « , Fight with Fowl and Bonds, Congressman Brown - To Address Farmers CLARENCE J. BROWN Congressman,Clarence J. Brown has accepted an. invitation to address the Greene County Farm Forum men who Will be in camp at Camp Clifton on August 11 and 12. He will speak at the Saturday evening session. A! tentative date o f August 7th has beer! set fo r an “ o ff the record” ad­ dress before the Greene County Re­ publican Committee by Cong. T'rown, at a ulace to be announced later. FAYETTE COUNTY FAIR ON UNMOLESTED The* Fayette County Fair is going full blast,-having opened Tuesday, It is one o f the earliest fairs in this part o f .the state and the manage­ ment proceeded with all arrange­ ments as if no order ever was issued by the New Dealers that demanded a permit to operate and later to close up shop.

KEEP BUYING WAR BONDS fWMSRS BMESPPMCE MAUHMS A very important meeting was held Tuesday in Indianapolis, Ind„ that concerns all farmers and hog breeders and feeders, In the group were farm lead­ ers, representatives of the. pack­ ing industry as well A others all working with the OPA to get an increase o f not less than . 25c per. hundred and not more than 50c per hundred to the far­ mer. This would make $16.40 a t Cincinnati as base price if the 50c increase was granted. OPA gave no hint o f what, it would do or that it was interested .in the in­ creased price even to get a higher production o f hogs. .What an age! What a. time we live ini .What if our grandfath­ ers were to awake? Would they not be mystified over the loss o f the right to produce and sell, farm crops without getting on bended knee and begging some . oily haired bureaucrat if the hog price might not be increased a . few cents- more-per hundred. If grand dad did awaks'Would be not inquire if we had not been ..taken over by Russia under the Second World War? v .

Mr, Thu* was recent­ ly licensed by the state more. Refusal o f the request, as mod­ est as it is, when it should be $1 additional to meet the war wage rate o f $2 and hour, should con­ vince hog feeders that the only way to get the increase would be to further decrease production by fifty percent. Cattle, and sheep feeders should do likewise. Hon. Odin McMillon Died Thursday A . M . Hon.

M. — *ii The British Tories that sold the Roosevelt New Dealers World War II took a terrible defeat when most all of the Churchill Torry leaders in the House of Commons were defeated by candidates o f the Labor Party, The election was held several weeks ago but the result o f the balloting was announced Thursday (British time), due to the soldier vote scattered all over the earth. This vote was over­ whelmingly against Churchill's gov­ ernment The other political party candidates failed to draw any o f the disappointed Churchill vote as was expected to aid the Tory candidates. Churchill saw most o f his present cabinet members defeated even for seats in the House o f Commons. In the list were his own son and his son- in-law. Evidently Churchill expected de­ feat o f his party though he himself was chosen over the Labor candidate in his district. He had asked for an overwhelming vote o f confidence or he would resign, was the campaign promise. ' k Churchill left Potsdam to be at home wheti the election results were announced. The Big Three Conference was adjourned for that purpose. It is certain Laborite Atlee will sit on the Big 3 as the BritisOeiegate and this may mean the opening o f many subjects that have already been a- greed. Some o f the issues in the campaign involved both Roosevelt and Stalin, The British are as fearful o f Stalin as they were o f Hitler.' They oppose Russia taking command o f European political Influence and most all elec­ tions held in the liberated countries have resulted in Communistic or Stalin victories, The world does not yet know of the many sCcert agree­ ments made between Stalin and Roosevelt, along with Harry Hopkins, who (pay in his, trip tied President Truman to the Russian Bear. . The result o f the British election was not a strictly labor movement as it would be taken In this country Dissatisfied groups, many from the Churchill C«mp. Joined the Labor par­ ty faction to defeat Churchill doe to his support o f maqy issues now before the Big ‘Three Conference, The d S S iV o f the ChuroMIl Tories may change the tune o f some o f the y . S. Senators that are playing the Jea Stalin hem in support o f giving away our money te foreign nations. 29 Greene County Boys Inducted In Armed Service The two local selective service boards in the county sent twenty-nine men from this county to Fort Hayes, Columbus, last Thursday, to be in­ ducted into the armed forces.

He admits he would have liked to remain on until V-Day and so expressed, him­ self to the President, but the “ nothing doing" sign was hung on his door. What a contrast that a Democrat President would fire one whom FDR branded in a public: statement as the best treasurer the nation ever -had, barring none, Reports reflect much more.
