CUPIQ IN DISGUISE t g 8 ir^ R £W T 8 R .g , 8 .; „ .scitrrxvsx: Eum DEVOTIONAL READING: I'llLlli 23;S». ILditorml LOOKS LIKE ROUTINE To write a day or two ahead for two ahead o f time for a weekly newspaper a weather prediction or a poltical guess is hazardous. But there could he little less haz­ ard in a prediction about any­ thing, it seems to us. than the guess that Harry S. Truman will be the Democratic candidate to succeed himself as president o f the United States. How the con­ vention will manage to put in four o f five days doing five minutes work is hard to understand They could well enough vote in three minutes to nominate Truman and adopt it unanimously, as politic­ al seers unanimously predict they will, adopt a platform in as little time and go home—but the host city has their promise to whoop it up for four days, and whoop it up they will. . . , . . whoop while they can, A GOOD WHEAT CROP Wheat is comng into elevators from combines and threshers and producers are getting high prices for it. It’s a good crop—clean, free from rust and other both­ ersome things, and is weighing out well, the growers and receiv­ ers say. All spring, wheat in this vicinity has looked good, and the season was fine fo r it—enough rain and enough hot sun to ripen it. Right now, farmers say, rain is needed to bring on new grass in the stubble fields. But that, will come in the Lord’s good time. Meantime, prosperity has come on our side of the corner. RASCALS IN AND OUT Perhaps nothing in our Amer­ ican government makes fo r bet- casional housecleanngs that new ter political health than the oc- administrations bring about. Every American—almost every American that is—knows that we need a housecleaning in Washing­ ton. Any change will be for the better. Turning rascals out means, that at some earlier time other rascals were turned out, and doing that very thing pro­ motes better political conditions. We need a change, a radical change, in our national govern­ ment, and the odds are about 100 to 1 we are going to get it. HANGERSON Instead of whittling down the government payroll in the capi­ tal, the very opposite has been true. Since January 1, 1948, there have been about 500 new govern­ ment employes added to the gov­ ernment in Washington, alone, to say nothing of sub-subs over the country. Good business would dic­ tate the paring of payrolls, not featherbedding them. So long as the government means merely jobs for some chosen folk, its intended function is paralyzed. The first obligation o f the GOP to the people of the USA is to cut the personnel and the payroll of the federal government. THE MISSING LINK Digger-uppers, delving into the caves and dark recesses of South Africa have discovered not one, but many skeletons (not Red) of prehistoric man-apes. They agree that these are more nearly the missing link between man and the ape than has ever been known. The whole scientific world is agog over it. Maybe this may put. Henry Wallace over, who knows. LISTENERS More people heard the two-Joe fight than listened to the GOP convention or ever heard a fireside chat by the Great Fire- sidcr. More people heard the fight than will vote in November. STILL WE LEARN A farmer was telling the edi­ tor the other day a lesson he and other wheat growers found out about combines. “ A t first one of the selling points about the com­ bine was that it returned the straw to the land, where it would pay hack some of what had been taken out in producing the crop.” Here he smiled, “ But it didn’t take long to find out that the young grass in. the wheat fields was being smothered out by the straw', and now it is the practice to remove the straw, cither by baling; it raking it and stacking it. for use around stables.” FAMILY REUNIONS Chickens are ripe for frying. Tomatoes are red on the vines. Corn is tasseling in the garden. Early potatoes are being grab­ bled in the hill. . . the season, o f the family reunion is approach­ ing. “How tall Nancy is getting!” “ Can't Dick eat more than any­ body you ever saw for* a boy his size?” “ We’ve had our order in for one, but they tell us it may he a year yet.” . . . conversation includes every topic. Nothing is healthier. Nothing more Ameri­ can. Nothing better calculated to promote good will. Nothing we need more—than the family re­ union.

It is the Book of Ruth which we have for Sunday's lessons, with Psalms 28:0-9 as the d ev o tion a l reading. The golden text, “ Thy peop le shall be my people, and thy God my Gcd,” Ruth 1:16. * * * IN SEARCH OK BREAD F AMINE in Judah, where Elime- lech and his wife, Naomi, and their sons, Mahlon and Chilion, dwelt, drove them to Moab, in search of bread. Elimelech died, and the sons married young women of Moab, Ruth and Orpah. And then the sons died. Naomi, feeling that she must not longer remain in Moab, announced her intention to return to her native land, and bade Ruth and Orpah farewell. In one brief decade Naomi had lost hus­ band and sons, and now she longed for home. * * * ‘ •INTREAT ME NOT TO LEAVE THEE” O RPAH accepted Naomi’s sug­ gestion, and turned away to her own people; but not so with Ruth. She loved Naomi. She. could not give her up. Naomi had done something for Ruth in those years of sorrow and loss, “ Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my peo­ ple, and thy God my God. Where thou diest, I will aje, and there will. I be buried. The lo r d do. so to me. and more also, if ought but death part thee and me." With these sublime words, Ruth lashed herself to Naomi, and to­ gether they started on the long trek to Bethlehem. * * * WHEN FAITH CONQUERS H ERE we witness conquering faith—conquering faith in the hearts of Naomi and Ruth. And they come to Bethlehem. It was the har­ vest season, and Naomi directed Ruth to glean In the field of Boaz, a wealthy and generous-hearted citizen of Bethlehem. Faith in ac­ tion! And the world loves the story of Ruth becoming the wife of Boaz, and thus the mother of Obcd, the grandfather of David the king in tha ancestral line of Jesus Christ, the King of kings. And Naomi, through her conquer­ ing; faith, held in her arms the little baby, Obed, and dreamed of God’s unfolding purposes to bless the world. In this unsurpassed romance we witness faith In adversity, faith in association, faith in conduct, faith in claim, faith In confidence, and faith in a glorious climax. * • 6 WHEN FAITH CONQUERS L IFE is always ennobled when faith conquers. It is easy to Imagine how history might have missed this beautiful love story, had not Naomi been a woman of conquering faith., She might have given up and over to her great sorrow, and pined away in grief and defeat. But Naomi followed the gleam. And her trust in God shed its gen­ tle glow into the lonely heart of the Moabite widow, Ruth. Ruth clave unto Naomi. She could not do other­ wise. “ Truth is stranger than fic­ tion.” And all history was enriched. It is ever so when faith conquers. Thus the poet states the case: "God moves in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform, "He plants bis footsteps on the sea, And rides upon the storm " • •: • (Copyright by tha International Council of ReSgloue Education on behalt of 40 Protestant denominations.

Parks, extension Entomol­ ogist, Ohio State University, that hordes of grasshoppers have appeared in pasture lands, al­ falfa and red clover fields in var­ ious areas o f Ohio. I f these in­ sects become numerous in Greene County they may seriously dam­ age legumes, seed crops, corn, tomatoes, and fruit trees. The best control for grasshop­ pers is Chlordane (Dowklor) 1% lbs. of the '50% wetable powder in 100 gallons of wa‘*r per acre (2 lbs. per 100 gallons required fo r adult grasshoppers). For those who may have access to a duster, Chlordane 5% dust at the rate of 30 lbs. per acre is satisfaetofy. Orchardsist will prefer to spray. Chlordane can be applied to tree foliage and fruits if necessary. Apply light- 2 piece Living Room Suites Cleaned §12.50 CEDARVILLE FURNITURE & UPHOLSTERING CO.

Corn fields can be protected by spraying or dusting a strip of land at the edge of the field, and by spraying or dusting the first half dozen rows of corn as a barrior. Apply before the hop­ pers have penetrated the field too far. GOOD HEN HOUSE EQUIP­ MENT SAVES LABOR The amount of time required to care for the laying house, and the equipment provided, directly influence it efficiency. Plans fo r an automatic water fountain, nests that reduce egg cleaning, wall feed bins to pro­ vide the daily feed more easily and a roost plan requiring clean­ ing less often can be obtained by writing the county agent’s of­ fice, Xenia, Ohio.

FARMERS ASKED TO CON­ TRIBUTE TO FOOD TRAIN Greene County Farmers who are producers of wheat are be­ ing asked to contribute one bush­ el of each 100 bushels of wheat to provide bread for the needy overseas. The goal set by the lo­ cal committee in charge of this interdenomination church spon­ sored project is 5000 bushels of wheat as the Greene County Con­ tribution as the Ohio goal of 150 cars. The churches of Greene Coun­ ty, all elevators and the farm or­ ganizations are cooperating in a program locally. Ministers have announced details of this appeal for foreign relief and the pur­ pose of the program which is to feed the hungry, speed rehabil­ itation and build toward a better world. All local elevators have the official receipts to give to don­ ors of wheat. People not having any wheat can contribute cash which will be used to buy wheat. The collection of food and its distribution overseas is being taken care of by a church organ­ ization known os C. R. O. P. The Catholic Rural Life, Church World Service, Lutheran World Relief and the American Friends Service are working ^together through the one organization. The county committee includes Arthur Balms, Chairman; Rev. Frank Long, Vice Chairman; Anna Krug, Secretary; John „ Winters, of the Citizens Bank, " 'Treasurer; and John W. William­ son, Robert Crone, and G. H Huffman members of the exe­ cutive committee. A NAME THAT STANDS FOR GOOD FURNITURE BUDGET PLAN AVAILABLE ADAIR’ S CAN IT HOLD? If the dynasty o f Stalin, the most austere, harsh, despotic rule the world has known, most certainly that Russia under the czars didn’t dream of—if it can last any considerable length of time then human nature has lost its Savor. Liberty and freedom are inborn yearnings. Man’s soul cries out for freedom.' He desires it above everything else—even his life. Stalin’s government is based on oppression and slavery. No such government can long endure. The satellite countries may turn Red fo r a season, but in time—and maybe in a short time—their people will go all out for freedom. There is no escape from it. Communism is not the answer to men’s desires. Neither Communism or Stallin will last long, as time goes. “ FOR JUST CAUSE” If an employe quits Ms job because of dissatisfaction he can’t collect unemployment benefits, says the high mogul o f the BUG. That is, he can’t collect unless he can show he quit fo r “ just cause.” (Not “ just because;” that's gen­ erally why the ladies, God dress ’em, quit.) The definition of “just j cause” is a varied as skirt lengths) these days. In the old almanac S story O’Hara quit his job ju s t : because of a remark bis employer made. He revealed under ques­ tioning that the remark was “ Pat, you’re fired!” WOODS AND TREES “I hope .you know, son, that you are living in the very garden spot of Ohio—your part of Greene county is the best in Ohio. I hope you realize it.” An upstate friend, who incidentally is famil­ iar with every section of the state, and every other state for that matter, was as Lum Eddards says, “Doin’ the talkin’.” We agreed with him, knowing a good part of the country ourselves. But it helps'to be reminded, and to re­ mind ourselves often, for living as we do in the heart of Ohio we may forget the fact—and not be able to see the woods for the trees! “ Easy payments” is the biggest misnomer in the language. How to eat food is not as much bother to a lot of people as how to get it. Folk, you’re really in for a sad time—the Duke and Duchess o f Windsor liax’e left our friend­ ly shores for a six-months’ vaca­ tion in France. “ Vacation from what?” That’s naughty of you to say that. Why, they have over 100 trunks to try to remember where they put things in! The main trouble with making a living is to have the-earning keep up with the yearning.
