FAYETTE DRAFT BOARD WANTS STRIKES SETTLED On Monday of last week for the first time in the nation’s history, a President o f tele United States at­ tended a session o f the Supreme Court t when President Truman watched Sen-1 ator Harold H. Burton of Ohio sworn j in as Associate Justice. The Court took official recognition of the Pres­ ident’s visit, which lasted some f if ­ teen minutes. Following adjournment o f the Court a reception was Held for Senator Burton in his Judicial Cham­ bers. The Ohio delegation in Con­ gress- were .special’ guests of Justice Burton at his induction ceremony and receptiop-. The Fayette county draft board took a bold stand this week in refusing to send.nine 18-year old Fayette county hoys to induction centers until the Truman administration acted to settle the nation’s major strikes. Chairman Howard D. Fogle told the nine b6ys, you have fulfilled your duty by reporting here. As you probably know, we have refused to induct any more men until these strikes are taken care of. The board members conferred for several hours the day previous with representatives from State Headquar­ ters, who say we are wrong but we have not changed our mind ,, Among the boys reporting was an 18-year old father of a six-months son. The father was ac­ companied by his wife and son to see him o ff but instead they a ll.returned home following the unusual turn of affairs where a board of farm mem­ bers talks back to the powers in Wash­ ington. ■ ■ } l'he board sent telegrams to Ohio con­ gressmen and senators as well as se­ lective headquarters in Washington Sentiment o f Ohio citizens is about as expressed by the, Fayette draft board. There is a. vacancy on Greene Coun­ ty draft board No. 2 and after weeks o f effort no one-has been found to ac- ; cep't the appointment, A noble oppoiv j tunity for some loyal Democrat to i prove his patriotic splrit^gUllili&S&ttUi ing himself as willing to accept the vacancy. The war has been in the ■ hands of a Democratic administration, from the start -and all responsibility * must be accepted by the Democratic ] administration in Washington and by citizens that support that political party. 1000 Men To Attend Methodist Brotherhood One thousand Methodist men from over the Wilmington Methodist Dis­ trict are expected to convene at Wil­ mington at the annual convention meeting o f the Wilmington District Methodist Brotherhood in the local Methodist Church Tuesday, Oct, 23, at 7:45 P.

I CHURCH NOTES There has been considerable criti­ cism developing on Capital Hill re­ cently over the way* the Truman Ad­ ministration has been meeting the resent strike situation which is un­ doubtedly interfering with the recon­ version program and threatening to add to the future unemployment prob- ' lem, but only postpones the day o f fi­ nal settlement Unless some definite } steps are taken by the Administration j soon to bring about industrial peace, | it is entirely likely the Congress will enact- legislation to meet the situa tion. iiM iisiin fm itiM iM iiiiiim tM iiM iiim iiiM : PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev.

DRYING WEATHER NEEDED— • 1'he frosts last week did llittle or no damage, however pn low ground they did have the effect of hastening the maturity o f late planted corn. Rains have kept farmers out o f the fields and the high humidity prevented com from drying out. The majority of the corn crop is in excellent condition so far as maturity is concerned and a few days o f clear-drying weather will put it in condition for the crib. SPECIAL CARE FOR LATE PLANTED WHEAT— Delayed planting and slow ripening of corn will leat to late planting of wheat. While nothing will entirely compensate for this condition, some of the dangers of planting wheat late can be- reduced. Everything possible should be done to get a good stand of wheat plants with maximum growth before the cold weather arrives. Fertilizer applications can be in­ creased, and the proportion of nitro­ gen raised to give the wheat an-added stimulus. An increase in rate of seeding about 6 pecks commonly re­ commended might be an advantage, \Vheat planted late in the fall of 1943 and 1944 survived remarkedly well because weather conditions were fav­ orable, We should not expect that late sowing will always be safe, as it is certain that there will be a season when severe killing will occur again, REDUCE DANGER OF CORN OF SPOILAGE— Regardless of how corn iB harvested this year the danger of its spoiling will be reduced if the ears are free of silk and husks and'if the kemaljfoff in handling are separated from the ears when the corn is put in the crib. The cheapest way to reduce the wat­ er content o f stored corn is to let air carry it out o f the crib, and this re­ quires ventiliation. Husks, silks and shelled corn filfup space between the ears and prevent air from reaching the ears thus reducing the circulation o f <iir through the crib. Where the moisture content o f corn is more thaii (Continued o n r i g T Three) GREENE MAY HAVE CANDIDATE FOR APPEAL COURT Greene county may have a candidate for Court o f Appeals next year for the unexpired term o f the late Judge Frank Geiger, who died suddenly of heart attack at his hotel in Columbus while holding court in that county. Governor Frank Lausche will make the appointment to .serve until the next regular election Of course he is expected to name a Democrat but he says not immediately. He has named Judge Montgomery of Licking county temporary, he being a circuit judge in his district. Darke county Democrats have al­ ready endorsed their candidate. Judge Golden Davis, Springeld, is also men­ tioned as well as Judge Wiseman of Dayton. The governor has eliminated most of the counties in the district by saying ’tl\e appointee wjll come from a western county in the district. The district runs from Columbus to the Indiana line. ' Political observers believe Darke county stands the beBt chance from a political standpoint because the county in former years was regarded safely Democratic but under the New Deal the Democrats have lost hundreds of supporters, especially among the far­ mers and that county is regarded . as rural. It was known that Judge Geiger was not in the best of health when he ran the last time and many attorneys thought he would be a candidate; Being a Republican in a Republican district a number of attorneys shied away when Geiger circulated his pe­ titions. At that time several counties had suggested that Judge Frank L. Johnson should be a candidate but he did not enter. What 'the course of events will be within the coming year before it is time to file are not known, .other than to say the Republicans will have a Candidate at the proper time. It is. not likely that Judge Davis, Democrat of Springfield could get, an endorse­ ment because the Democratic commit­ tee is controlled by the Sheehan-CIO machine that recently witnessed the conviction of Democratic Prosecutor for accepting bribes as protection for Clark county gamblers. The gamblers tried to unseat Judge Davis but were not, successful when ■Chief Justice ■Weyghant turned them down, he also being a Democrat. The other members, of the Court of Appeals are Judge .Hornbeck of Lon­ don and Judge Miller of Columbus. Both are Republicans. JUDGE WISEMAN GETS SEAT ON APPEALS COURT- It was reported Thursday at noon that Gov. Lauschc had appointed Judge William C. Wiseman, probate judge in Montgomery county as judge on the court of appeals in the second district to succeed the late Judge Frank Geiger. Greene Co. Not In OPA Higher Ceiling Price . The announcement that OPA had in­ creased the ceiling prices on hogs does not affect Greene county. The nearest countv to get the increase is Clinton county. The increase granted rutiged from 5 to 15 cents per hun­ dred for Chicago and other large ter­ minal markets. Chicago gets 10c and Buffalo f5c. Cincinnati and Colum­ bus get nothing while Indiapapolis is granted a five cent increase. The boost in ceiling price for some sections is to draw more hogs to cer­ tain, markets. ,.It is said producers and many shippers have been selling direct to packers ,which has created a situation at Chicago that has slow­ ed down hog receipts for the big packing interests. It is said local feeders cannot hope to profit from shipping even to.mar­ kets given the ceiling boost. The freight rates from here would be more and the longer the haul the more drift which would probably not net as much as if sold locally or nearby markets. G. F. Siegler To Repre-.. sent C G-njfc Inaugural MARIETTA, Oct, H—Mr. George F. Siegler, a graduate of Cedarville College and a resident o f Marietta, O., will represent the college at the inau­ guration o f Dr. William A.

Governor Names Huff­ man For Senator Governor Lausche found a taker in his search for some one to take the appointment of United States Sena­ tor to fill the unexpired -term of Sen. Harold Burton, Republican, who was appointed a U .S. Supreme Court As­ sociate Justice. The offer was turn­ ed down by several prominent Demo­ crats, which creates a new precedent for that party in any state. James Huffman, a son-in-law of Vic Donnehey, former Democratic sen­ ator and three -time Ohio governor, who has been commerce . director .. in the Lauscht cabinet; He was. sworn in as senator in Washington this week, being escorted to the Senate rostrum by.Senator Robert A. Taft o f Ohio. Oldlinc seasoned Democrats did not like the Lausche proposal that who ever accepted the appointment has to be a candidate at the Democrati/pn- nvary and then campaign in the hace for. sentor against former .Governor John W. Brtaker. Young Huffman is worthy of the honor confcred on him by the Gov­ ernor, whether he gets the regular seat or not. Gov. Bricker was one of the rst to congratulate-the new Sen­ ator.

McKeever, of Dayton, executive secretary o f the Dayton and Montgomery County War Chest. He told of the three phaseB of the National War Fund drive jpd in­ terspersed his talk with true-to-life ex. periences as related to him by a per­ sonal friend who had recently return­ ed ’ from overseas. The “ Liquidation Drive” as this NWF is called, has a national goal o f 115 million dollars und Greene County’s quota is $30,000. He declared the war is not actually over but men are still in occupied lands doing the most uninteresting work and it is eytremely important that their leisure time be filled with good, wholesome entertainment as provided by theNWF. Als.o o f great importance is the aid given veterans in the more than 500 hospitals in the country. He spoke o f the heeds o f our Allies in the bomb devastated areas and added: “ wq should be grate­ ful for the opportunity to give for this Worthy Cause.” He urged the campaign workers to enter their work with diligence and “do our part now and do _it well to maintain the peace.” He cited that the reconstruction period is a vital period in saving lives and closed with . the challenge to .“crown victory with another victory” in this filial NWF campaign. Moistur Content in Cron Running High Now Reports are that most com will show a very high moisture percentage at this season o f the year due to the heavy rains. This means late corn picking 'or husking and In turn means late wheat seeding. Some farmers are considering dropping wheat seeding for two reasons. It is better to save the corn erop and let the wheat go. Prospects are that clover seed next year will be higher than usual due to an almost failure this season. We are informed com already tested fo r mois­ ture content shows from 86 percent up. This makes it dangerous to crib corn early due to. postil spoilage.
