A scant 51% o f the voting* populace took the time to go to the polls in November. Mr. Tru­ man received, say, 60%, which is seldom accorded any candidates fo r any office, the percentage would be about 30%, and that is very plainly a minority. But o f the people who werq patriotic en­ ough and who cared enough a- bout public affairs to vote, Tru­ man is '‘the people’s choice.” At, the moment his riding a high wave o f general popularity. The world likes a winner. Everybody is cheering. He’s starting on his own on a four-year term. Every loyal American hopes he makes a great success. Unless he does, none o f the rest o f us will suc­ ceed. THE MARCH OF DIMES •Some o f the greatest business­ es have been built on dimes. A t least one o f the most helpful agencies set up to meet human needs is based on dimes. Now is the hour when the theme song o f that agency is ringing in every­ one’s ears and echoing in their hearts—The March o f Dimes. It has become a national opportun­ ity as well as a national in s ti­ tution. It is an individual as free­ dom; as universal as the flag. The March of Dimes is one campaign in which everybody hurries to take part. And every­ body will do it this year.

The Red Cross is the first and most reliable agency on hand in every emergency. Everybody in the county will want to share. ALL ABOARD “Acheson to name assistants”— Headline.

A GOOD ADDRESS No citizeh of Ohio who holds the good o f the state and its peo­ ple above everything; including political party faith, will dis­ approve the masterful inaugural addreafs o f Governor Lausche. The executive spoke frankly, clearly, intelligently -about the problems that confront Ohio and the nation, outlining a course o f action concerning them. There was nothing evasive about it. Every person in the state hopes sincerely the ideas can be carried out, and pledges his support to the governor to that end. JOE'S COLOR SCHEME Joe Stalin’s health is in; the pink, That’s what the doctor said; The most important thing we think Is that he isn’t Red. A judge revoked a driver’s li­ cense fo r life. That’s perhaps a longer time than it would be i f he had a license. Sheriff Henkel has started on all-out campaign against gamb­ ling. A lot o f folks are happy that he isn’t making it retroactive back o f November 2. For a case of mistaken identi­ t y the setup is perfect for Israel to-sidestep paying the $100,000- 00G loan b y reminding Uncle Sam that he doesn’t even recog­ nise Israel when he sees it.

DEVOTIONAL READING : James 1:1- T e i Without Sin L esson fo r January 3.0, 1949 Dr. Foreman Y OU will never feel the current if you never swim upstream. If you are a drifter through life you can hardly know what, the word “ temptation” means. And Jesus was no drifter. If ever a powerful purpose, devotion to God, a noble mind and a pure heart could set a man free from all temptations, Jesus would have been that man. But he had his tempta­ tions all the same. After the great day of his baptism, when the heavens opened and he felt the Holy Spirit as plainly as a bird from the sky alighting on his shoul* * der, we are told that he was “ full of the Holy Spirit.” Surely no temp­ tation could reach him now! Yet the Spirit led him to the wilderness where Satan waited for him. * * * The Devil Is Smart S ATAN is a persistent devil. He never takes No for an answer, he will be back again with the same temptation in another pack­ age. It was so’ with Jesus. We must not-think that Jesus was tempted to low and tlgly sins. People are tempted on the level where they live. After the Baptism, if not be­ fore, he was fully awake to the fact that he was God’s beloved Son, that it was his respon­ sibility to begin the “Kingdom of God;” he knew lie had a position and a power that no one else on earth had ever had. The problem was: How should lie use .this position; and this power? * Each of the three temptations in the wilderness had something to do with that; problem. Two of the temptations, at least, were not to do anything wrong in itself. Each time Jesus was tempted to choose something less than the best. And dhoosing less than the best, when the best can be had, is sin. All Temptation Sounds Good «('T 'URN stones into bread,” the A tempter said; And why not? People were hungry all around; Jesus grew up in a land where most people were lucky to get one square meal a day, let alone three. Jesus would be the Divine Leader of the Kingdom, the Founder of the New Age. "Why not make it the Age of Plenty? "Why not abolish hunger from the earth? It could be done; it; sounds; good. So does that other tempta­ tion — “ Throw yourself down, the angels will see that you are not hurt.” Perhaps many wor­ shippers at the Temple expect­ ed that the Messiah, God’s King to be, would fiy down out of a cloud. Then that temptation which seems at first reading so ridicu­ lous—fall down and worship Satan. It was not so ridiculous as it ap­ pears. What did Jesus want but to be King of Kings and Lord of Lords? What difference does it make how we attain opr ambitions, if we only reach them? “ AH other world - conquerors had achieved their pinnacles of power by “ wor­ shipping Satan,” that is by using violence and trickery, Bui Jesus, being full of the Holy Spirit, knew that not everything that sounds good, is good. He saw clearly that not even he could bring in the Kingdom of God simply by feeding people, or as­ tonishing them with aerial stunts, and still less by using those ancient methods of the world-conquerors, the tools of Satan, violence and lies. * * * D efen se W eapon J ESUS met his great enemy and beat him down with a single weapon. Every time, Jesus comes out with a quotation from the Bible, incidentally always from Deuter­ onomy, evidently a favorite book with him. We have the same wea­ pon at our disposal today, and more besides. There is nothing magical in a Scripture quotation. The point is net that J0S#|. had memor­ ized these verses so that he could quote them; anybody could do that even without be­ lieving a word of them. What Jesus, did was to make those truths his own, they were part of his mind, actually his own con­ victions. Do you really want to rise proof against temptations? Do as Jesus did: make God’s ideas your own. The sharpest lie will blunl itself, against the keen edge oi Truth.

Thuman may have been elected president as a plain man of the people but he was in­ augurated with as much pomp and ceremony as ever attended the coronation o f any foreign pot­ entate. It was some shindig. The lumber fo r and construction of the inaugural stands was said to* have cost more than $350,0G0. The cost for moving army and navy units to Washington, with their planes, tanks and trucks, to participate in the inaugural parade will brobably never be made public. In addition there .were other untold expenditures from the public treasury and by individuals who wanted to see the 32nd president o f the United States inducted into office. Grand stand seats to watch the parade cost up to $10 approximately 10,000 people paid $10 each to attend the. huge inaugural ball at the Washington armory. A crowd estimated at nearly 100,- Q00 watched Mr. Truman take his oath o f office in front of the Capitol, last Thursday, but Wash­ ington newspapers and radio com­ mentators all reported the crowd as much smaller than, expected; while over 20,000 available* rooms awaiting visitors went unoccupi­ ed. In his inaugural address Pres­ ident Truman denounced Com­ munism and pledged this nation to a continued endeavor to ex­ tend peace and prosperity to all * of the peoples o f the earth. No one can disagree with the- great objective the president outlined, - fo r every right-thinking person wants to see a peaceful, prosper­ ous world, as well as a sound and safe America. Such condi­ tions are worth striving for, but the difficulty comes in attaining them. It will take great wisdom and almost magical powers to rebuild and modernize all the world, to make all peoples happy and prosperous, persumably at the expense o f the United States treasury, without endangering- our own financial stability and national economy. In fact, there still seems to be some question as to how long the United States can feed, finance and police the world without placing such a bur­ den*o f taxes upon our people as to destroy^their well-being. Gov. Lausche headed an of­ ficial Ohio delegation to the in­ augural ceremonies last wfeek and rode in the inaugural parade. Some one had failed to make"* propex- arrangements fo r the del­ egation from Ohio general as­ sembly, but as a result of last- minute efforts and much scurry­ ing around on the part of Ohio members of congress the entire official group from Ohio were given good seats, both at the in­ augural ceremonies and to view the huge parade which followed. I f plans of administration leg­ islative leaders work out, the House will have before it for con­ sideration this week a bill to raise the present minimum wage rate from 40 cents an hour to either 75 cents or $1.00 an hour. A t the present time there are few workers receiving less than 75 cents an hour as wages fo r their labor, but just what the situation may be, especially with marg­ inal workers and in small com­ munities, a few months o f years from now, sepecially in case o f a depression, no ane knows Wages like the prices o f commodities, are usually regulated by supply and demand, and laws to fix either wages or prices do not always work out so well. On last Friday. Connecticut- born Dean Acheson, former under­ secretary o f state under the ad­ ministration o f Secretaries Cor­ dell Hull and James Byrnes, be­ came secretary of state in the Truman cabinet to succeed Gen. George C. Marshall who resign­ ed because o f ill health. Acheson has pledged himself to carry out the Truman foreign policies. Living costs—especially in the food line—have gone down rath­ er rapidly during the last few months, with continuation of the decline , and lower prices being predicted for the months ahead. Retail meat prices have slumped as much as 25 per cent, with live hogs selling for $21.25 per hund­ red in Chicago last week’ in com­ parison with $32.75 a few months ago. Best gr$de cattle, which brought prices of more than $40- a hundred a short time ago, are- now bringing $30 or less. Cotton prices are o ff, having their first real deep cut clearance sales, since before the war. The supply pipe lines of trade have filled up, inventories are high, and lower prices are. expected within the near future in many lines. , From all over the country re! ports of business slump, are pouring into Washington, with the result the federal officials are becoming alarmed 'over the situation. While total: employ­ ment still remains exceptionally high, there are a million or so less workers on the payrolls o f the naton now than‘ were 'a few ’ short weeks ago, and the number Groundhog Day Ringold Lady Dora Tops Hampshire Sows Raises Total of 71 Pigs to Weaning Age First of her Hampshire breed to become a “ seven-star” , sow, Rin­ gold Lady Dora No. 753,056 has raised a total of 71 pigs to wean­ ing age, an average of 10.1 pigs per litter. This record is more . impressive when compared with national averages. According to U. S. department of agriculture re­ ports, the national average is 6.18, Farm Production Costs Farm production costs have near­ ly tripled since the pre-war years o f 1935-39, according to U. S. de­ partment of agriculture statistics. These costs totaled 14.9 billion dol­ lars in 1947, compared with 5.2 bil­ lion before World War It’ s o u t ­ break. Farm wages are now three and a half times the 1935-39 aver­ age. Meanwhile, farm prices have slumped and many economists ex­ pect a further easing in months ahead. Com and wheat are already 25 to 40 per cent under their early 1948 peaks. Farmers can best meet the im­ pact of higher production costs and lower prices by good- soil raanage- FAUM PRODUCTION COSTS t 1055-50 | AVERAGE IW 7 J m ment that steps up crop producing efficiency and lowers output costs per unit. Good soil- management involves no magic or mystery. It simply means playing fair with the soil by returning organic matter and plant nutrients used up by constant crop production. Organic matter can be restored by growing deep-rooted’ legumes such as alfalfa or sweet clover in the rotation and plowing them under for green manure. "When the soil is restocked with organic matter and plant food you will get higher yields and you will cut your production costs. .■ Dry Skim Milk Retailed Now in Small Packages Now that dry skim milk—official­ ly called non-fat dry milk solids— is .on retail markets in small pack­ ages. for home use, thrifty home­ makers have a convenient, eco­ nomical product tbjbuild up the mi- tritiye value, of family meals. The ease and convenience of its .use as well as its high nutritive value justify its place along with flour, sugar and salt on the ptuxtry shelf .of every homemaker. .. ffisaaBBI Here, with her seventh “ star” . family, is Ringold Lady Dora No. 753,056, champion production sow in the Hampshire breed and the first of her kind to qualify as a “ seyen-star” sow. spring pigs and 6.39 fall pigs per litter raised to weaning age. To qualify for a star in the Hamp­ shire production registry a sow must raise a litter of at least eight pigs, without fault or defect, to weigh 320 pounds within 56 days o f farrowing. And of course to gain a “ seven-star” -record Ringold Lady Dora has repeated this per­ formance seven times. She is the first sow in the Hampshire breed to be listed for either the sixth or seventh “ star” litters. * In her seventh "star”* litter, this sow farrowed 15 pigs, nine of which were saved. The eight selected for registration weighed 443 pounds at 56 days alter farrowing. ' , The production champion, was fed * a ration containing com, oats, al­ falfa and pelletized milk by- j products prior to farrowing. Her* pigs were creep fed early and" raised on a ration of seven parts com and three parts oats, with 8 per cent milk by-products added. • Ringold Lady has been owned and bred by William C. Goodheart, Jr., of Eaton, Ohio, since 1944, and" was sold to Meadowlark Farms, Inc., Sullivan, Ind. receiving Unemyloytnent compen- in the various states has been growing at a rapid rate. Many industral concerns, several rail­ roads, and other large employ­ ers have been laying o ff work­ ers, while other employers have reduced their working hour sched­ ules. Only in a few industries is over-time being worked today, with the result that many wage earners now receive less take- home pay than a few months a- go. This situation is not confin­ ed to the United States alone, for therje are indications the end of the boom has been reached in South America, in Great Britain, and in other countries where more stable economies exist. Where- ever political and business lead­ ers gather the question always ‘ asked—How long and how deep will this.Truman depression go? No one questions that it has al­ ready started, and business men everywhere are reducing inven­ tories* nrifl ,n«f.tin« ^theiis -finan-_ ces in order as precautionary measures. < A t the Courthouse Injunction Sough t Violation of plat restrictions in use of a defense cabin as a residence in Wright View Heights in Bath township, is charged by Earl E.
