Johnson Monday ordered George F, Hancock, 33, of 44 Hillside drive, Skyway Park, returned to jail to fin ish serving out a $500 fine, court costs and a 180 day jail sentence im­ posed for driving with improper li­ cense plates and while his operator’s license was suspended. The judge, in denying a writ of habeas corpus at its final hearing, suggested to Morris D. Rice, Osborn village solicitor, that Hancock be credited with 20 days he had served in the Osborn jail before being trans­ ferred to county jail in. Xenia. F. W, Dunkle, Xenia lawyer, charged his client was the victim of "inhuman punishment” on behalf of Mayor R, E, Crone’s sentence and that he had been confined in an “unfit jail” in Os- bom. Hancock has a long police record, according to Osborn authorities, in­ cluding an artest in Dayton last Feb­ ruary when his driver’s licon^e Was suspended three years, 1 When Jesus was bom in'Bethle­ hem there Were’only a few theft and women of faith who could see in the’ Babe of the manger the glory an'd- the power of Christ, It was* v dark* and unbelieving age into which' he! was born—and who will' say that if is ’different in the-day in which we celebrate Christmas, 1946, Indifferent, ignorant and sinful people are glad to try to capitalize on the spirit of; Christinas, but they still despise and turn away- from the Son of God, Jesus the Saviour. It behooves us; therefore, to pre­ sent once more the message of the Saviour 'who came a t Christmas, that all men may hear of him. Our lesson speaks of God’s great gift of love and tells what manner of men and women we should be be­ cause he did give his Son tor us. I. God’s Christmas Gift to Us (John 3:16). * God loved—so .God gave: Love prompts the heart to give. One may give without loving, it is: true, bat one cannot,love without giving. God’s love for man existed from all eternity. It provided a way of redemption for man and' indUesea- son the Saviour came, to live, to love, to die for all mankind; 'It was no chanceevent, no acci­ dent in history; it was the heart of God speaking in his “unspeakable gift” (II Cor. 9:15) of his only be­ gotten Son. That leads us to our- second Scrip­ ture and our ^second point. We who receive gifts try to express Our appreciation in a polite and proper way. H. Our “Thank You” to God (Eph. 3:14-21). Paul’s prayer for the* Ephesian church (and for us also who are* in the “family,” v. 15) telle' us how we may live our, livds as Christians and-expressf our grathtxde'to God: * The church of Christ, made up of those who are. believers* in him, should show its relationships to God, and its appreciation of his grace by its I. Strength (v. 16), It does not honor God nor is he properly rep­ resented in the world* by those who are spiritually weak and ineffective. It is the privilege of the believer to be “strengthened with might” (v. 16) and this takes place as the Holy Spirit has liberty “with power penetratihg1to your iftmosf as Weymouth translates it. No port of ‘man’s inner , being is then left weak or without the light and grace of the Holy Spirit. 2. Love (v. 17). This is the strong foundation of all spiritual develop­ ment and0 usefulness. Roots are put down deep (as we change the figure of speech) to hold the life, steady, and to provide the nourish­ ment for spiritual living. -This is all possible because Christ makes his home in the heart. Think of the privilege of making such e guost feel at home in our hearts! Let us be grateful, and let UR rec­ ognize him and honor his presence: 3. Knowledge (w . 18, 19). The7be­ liever has to know not only t^e knowable, but also that which passer knowledge, namely, the7 love of Christ. We shall grow in grace as we grow in the knowledge of the love of Christ (II. Pet, 3:18). We with all of God’s people—what' a great and delightful company—are to comprehend, to really grasp, th e length and breadth and height and depth of his love. We say with the psalmist, “Such knowledge is too wonderful toe me; it is high, I cannot attain to it” (Ps. 139:8). But then wa remem­ ber that it is a s ‘Christ dwells “in our hearts by faith” (v. 17) that we are able to comprehend.such,truth. ' Most' Christians live on a very low plane, going along with a lim­ ited and unsatisfactory Christian ex­ perience when all this iv available to them by faith. 4. Faith (v. 20). Hera wa’see why it is possible to do the impossible, to know that which passes knowl­ edge, to see the unseen. It is by faith in him who “is able to do in­ finitely beyond all our highest prayers and thoughts” (Weymouth, v. 20) that we. attain unto this blessed place of blessing. So this is the “Thank you” that God wants this Christmas. He wants the unbeliever to turn to him in faith, and .the believer to really be what he ought to be' and can be in Christ. Then a man’s whole life will say, “Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul.” For the tenth successive year the writer of these notes expresses to his readers everywhere his good wish for a moat blessed Qhristrnas both in heart and home. May the Lord give us all special grace this year to thank him for hia great Christmas Gift by a life wholly dedi­ cated to him, ALONG FARMFRONT E, A. Drake, Co.

Today the college has.reach- ed the place where it will hpvc to start refusing admission to GIs-and others because no rooming facilities are available. In previous years the students lived in private horned. To­ day the college houses nearly all the boarding students in the college. In Harriman Jiall, Rife hall and Reid hall, Where are all those houses-that used to house students? Some say they .have not the time or are. un­ able to look after the. rooms. Others say that their bedroom ’ furniture can’t stand the wear and tear: .But all of these problems can be met. As far as the first- objection is con­ cerned the boys in private homes can do the same that they do in the ^col­ lege dorms—keep their own rooms clean and furnish their own linnen and see that it is kept laundred. This; way the landlady need not enter the stu­ dent’s room. Now as to the’ last ob­ jection; the wear and tear on bed- roohv furniture, the college will furn- ' ish single beds and mattresses, These the college has bought from the. gov­ ernment, and' the college*will 'be hap­ py to loan the same ‘to anyone- who will take students next semester which begins Jan. 24. 1- Four young married GP. have ap­ plications on file for admittance in January.

Farm Earnings Higher Than in 1918-20lBoottt Each person working on farms‘in 1945 earned* an average, of $1,645, which was the peak for farm work­ ers. The high point for industrial workers was reached in 1944, when the average anqual pay was $2,236. High points following World War I were $969 for farm workers’and $1,- 411 fo r those Jn.’industry, Rural economists a t Ohio State university say the earnings for farm workers are likaly to fall more rap­ idly during a depression than the wages of industrial workers. Farm earnings come from the sale of prod­ ucts whose price is set by the buy­ er. Prices of industrial goods are set by the manufacturer. Cold Weather Cuts Egg* Output gudderr temperature changes in the poultry laying house can^reduce egg production abruptly and may result in few eggs for a long period while hens recover from colds. Hens need fresh air, but the ven­ tilation system should not- permit the cold a ir to blow directly on the birds.

More Workers on F a rm As Wages Be*ain>at Peak More people" wete employed on U< S. on farms. >NoV, 1, 1946, than the average number so employed during the busy months of any year since 1941, but wage rates for farm work­ ers remainded a t their high point of 278 per cent above the average lev­ el for the years 1910-14, The average wages being paid in U. S. for farm workers on Oct, 1, 1946, was $104 a month without board. The average* day rate for farm workers was $4.94 without board. In comparison with 1910-14 averages, only 88 per cent as many fanners and members of their families were working on farms Nov, 1, 1640, and only 74 per cent as many hired work­ ers, , ___ Announce DDT Use Recommendations for the use of DDT in Ohio in 1947 will advise ap­ plying this insecticide to kill potato flea beetle and leaf hopper, codling moth in severely infested orchards, tomato pinworms, adult Japanese beetle, European corn borer, and thirps.
