A news letter in an exchange says that the minister and his wife and the evangelist have “ been entertained” in the community “ every day this week.” That smokehouser-high stack back by the garden gate is chicken bones! Editorial UNUSUAL, THEY SAY Friends, scores o f them, and among them many newspaper publishers, have been kind enough to call us, and write us, compli­ menting us on the special edi­ tion o f this newspaper a short time ago. Some o f them express­ ed wonder that a small news­ paper could do it. It was filled, as they were quick to see, with unusual newspaper material— feature stories, letters from some o f American’s most prominent statesmen, news about the school* we serve, and local news that r.c other newspaper could publish We are glad folks liked it. Wa loved to do it. WHO FEEDS WHOM? During- a fivelomnths period, ECA (an initialed WTDC author­ ity that spends money) bought in Canada 110,565,374 pounds of bacon that cost $35,445,252.03, and shipped it to England. During the same five months EGA bought in Canada close to six million hags o f flour that weighed 140 pounds each and shipped them to England. The flour bill you helped pay to Canada to ship to England was right at $35,000,000. Ship­ ments o f Canadian wheat that EGA bought went to England, costing very close to $90,000,- 000. No bacon was bought in USA, and only l(Kr o f the wheat was purchased from USA far­ mers. Who feeds whom? THIS ’N THAT President Truman is six pounds overweight, not counting the $100 bill the presser found in his pocket. . . .

BUYERS’ MARKET As the buyer’s market becomes more and more a certainty, it becomes increasingly important that the buyers know where ta buy what they buy. For many long months buyers leafed the newspapers to find out who had what they had been trying to get fo r too long a time; now they will leaf the papers much more carefully to see what, merchants will take for what they have to sell. Advertising was never so valuable as right now. GOOD SUGGESTION Two men were talking about how to address a wife’s mother. One, a newlywed, as saying that somehow ho didn’t like to call her Mrs. Whodunit, and to say Mother Whodunit was awkward, and just calling her “ mother” was confus­ ing. The othtr man explained that at first he just said "Say!” when he addressed his mother-in-law, but “after a year we began call­ ing hes ‘Gsandma’ and everything was easy.” PARAGRAPHS A fill-in paragraph says that windmills were first common in ^Germany and the Netherlands. That was long" bef&re Washington got in on it. We note that Mrs. Charles Mus­ tard attended a family picnic at a roadside park near P.ainsboro» sitting alongside Mr. and Mrs. Wiener fro Bainbridge, We sup­ pose. I f this be treason, shoot if you must, but while reading that Mr. and Mrs. DeForest Pointer spent Sunday with William Point­ er we wondered i f part of the time the Pointers were setters.

Mary Jo Pancake, a corres­ pondent writts, has returned to her home after a visit in the country—not so flat as she was. So live that nobody feels the urge to make you a present of a deep freeze! It’s a poor rule that won’t work both ways, and it is inter­ esting to watch Truman curing inflation by the same methods FDR used to cure the depression -—spending. A headline that we might as well keep standing is “ Officials Cleared in Probe.” By the Way, what ever became of Alger Hiss ? The problem right now is get­ ting' a door to keep the wolf a- way from. r r FAREWELL, A LONG FAREWELL" S OME parts of the Old Testament Jesus never once mentioned, Otliers he quoted again and again. Could this be because some parts were more helpful to him than others? At any rate, the Psalms were one section o f his Bible which he often quoted. » * • Worship O NE USE Jesus made of the Psalms was in public wor­ ship. Whenever he went up to the Temple he would join in singing j>r in listening to The great" choirs singing these an­ cient hymns. Many of oUr own best­ loved hymns, while not direct trans­ lations, are based on Psalms. F o r example, “ S i l l 1 , Still With Thee” is from Psalm 16; Dr. Foreman “ God Is My Strong Salvation” from Psalm 27; “The King of Love” from Psalm 23; “ O Worship the King” from Psalm 104. In private worship also we know Jesus used the Psalms. One of the Hebrew names for them was “ The Book of Prayers.” and Jesus, like many another who has loved these Psalms, found in them the natural expression c f what was deepest in his heart when he turned toward his Father in heaven. A striking proof of ibis comes from, the story of Cal­ vary. The cry, “ My God, why hast thou forsaken, m t !” is a quotation from Psalm 22:1, and “ Into thy hands I commend my spirit” Is from Psalm 31:5. Thus, two cut of three prayers he uttered in his last moments were from the Psalms. So the reader today, pondering in a quiet moment these immortal poems, either from the printed book or bet­ ter yet, as Jesus did, from the treasures of memory, may often find in them prayers which seem breathed from his own mind and to which he need cnly say. Amen. * * » Truth about God I ESUS aIsa faund In the Psalms a revelation c f truth. It would be too much ta say that Jesus de­ rived his ideas c f God from the Psalms. But certainly some c f the great teachings about God which we hear from Jesus we can read already in the Psalms. Jesus did not use the Psalms stupidly, of course. He would never have supposed that you could take just any sentence about God out of some Psalm or other, and quote It as the last word about God. For instance, during his tempta­ tions the thought was suggested to him that he could jump off a high building and not be hurt; had not God promised just that in a Psalm? Now it is true that Psalm 91:9-12 does say that Gcd will keep you from “ dashing your foot against a stone” but Jesus knew that does not mean that God will guarantee to keep you out of trouble or harm no matter how foolish you arc! • *.■ » Christ in the Psalms J ESUS found in the Psalms also prophecies. There is a rather thin line hetween illustration and prophecy. For instance, when the Jerus­ alem boys and girls wore making such a noisy welcome for him, and the dignified priests were protest­ ing, Jesus quoteu Psalm 8:2 in de­ fense of the children: “ Out of The mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise.” Did he mean that the Psalm­ ist had predicted, that very "BCCIiidn, or did he mean, that the Psalm expressed a truth always" good. At all events, we do know that Jesus often took a Psalm, or a part of one, as a prophetic picture of himself. He knew himself to be the true King of Mankind, “ the Lord’s Anointed,” as his use of Psalm 110:1 plainly shows. Yet he also knew that he must pass through suffering to his throne (Luke 24:26). 'When the leaders of his people rejected him he was not surprised, for he thought at once of Psalm 118:22-23. When he hung on the cross, and saw the soldiers gambling for his clothes. Psalm 22:16-18 would sure­ ly come into his mind. And can we doubt that in Ids last agonies, one who knew the Psalms so well would not have remembered also the later lines from the same prophetic Psalm? It begins with the tragic questioo-~Why? But it rises to a song of triumph—“ When he cried unto him, be heard!” ICormieht hr the international Council of ReSioua Education on bcbal£ of 10 Protestant denominations.

BROWN Writes W ith a Buckeye In Con erress Labor Day wag celebrated in Washington b^ the closing o f all Government departments, except for emergency services. High ranking officials, including the President, visited various sections o f the nation for Labor Day ad­ dresses, in which high tribute was paid to the workers o f Amer­ ica. Speaking of American "workers - the unemployment situation as o f Labor Day is not o en­ couraging. While top ranking Ad­ ministration leaders* talk public­ ly about a pickup in employment and business activities, they are privately and officially ’ prepar­ ing fo r increased unemployment during the last quarter o f 1949. Duriny that period Federal spend­ ing will he stepped up sharply. I f the employment situation grows progressively worse, many public works projects* plans fo r which are now on the .shelf for emergency use, will be put under way. A House Committee was told recently that Federal, State and local governments now have ready the plans fo r ^ublic works and construction which would, cost a- combined minimum o f $68 billion, and that the plans could be expanded to cost as much as $110 billion, which should cer­ tainly take care o f any unem­ ployment situation, providing the money can he made available. It appears the Truman Admin­ istration leaders in Congress will be able to block the consideration o f legislation to repeal wartime excise taxes until some time in 1950. The continued imposition o f these wartime taxes has great­ ly interfered with employment In many industries as well as with the sale o f many products. A t the time these wartime excise -taxes were originally levied, the de­ finite promise was made they would be repealed within sly months after the shooting stopp­ ed. More than four -ears have passed since the last sh^t was tired in World War H, but the wartime excise taxes are still be­ ing collected. Many Americans are growing rather an^ry over the issue, and rightly so. Before long a Crongressional investigation o f lobby activities will get under way. Howevery the investigation will not he confined solely to the activities o f the re­ presentatives of business and in­ dustry who attempt to influence legislative results. The inquiry will also look into the attempts o f Government agencies and of­ ficials to put pressure on the national legislators. A Constitu­ tional question as to the rights o f citizens to petition their rep­ resentatives in Congress on pub­ lic issues may be raised by the inquiry. The Budget Eureau of the Fed­ eral Government is already at work preparing to change over its bookkeeping system fo r the fiscal year beginning June 30th, next, to the “ Performance Bud­ get” plan recommended by the Hoover Commission. The Perfor­ mance Budget will set out pub­ lic expenditures according to ac­ tivities and programs in a way which, unlike the present budget, woQld clearly and quickly show where the money appropriated is going. Under the new system it is believed Congress will have a better chance to police and con­ trol Government spending. The World Bank isone inter­ national activity set up by the United States Government which is so conservatively managed as to make money instead of losing it. With authority to lend as much as eight billion dollars to foreign nations, it has actually loaned only seven *hundred million dol­ lars, with the loans said to be on a sound basis. During the three years o f its operation, the World Bank has also earned a net profit of $13,641,000. According to Department o f Agriculture reports this year’s corn crop will be second only to last years crop in size, and may. even actually exceed it. With the crop soon ready to harvest, there is still inuch old corn, carrying Government loans, in storage. Little or no action has been taken by the Government to increase grain storage capacity. As a re­ sult o f these conditions, corn prices are expected to break sharply during the harvest sea­ son. Now that the Government is getting its new public housing urogram, recently authorized by the Congress, under way a move­ ment is on foot to t r - to -push through the next session o f Con­ gress a law authorizing the Gov­ ernment to finance cooperatives to construct housing for the mid­ dle income groups. Under the pro­ posed plan the Government would put up all the money fo r these non-profit housing cooperatives, to cover 100 per cent o f the cost o f the land,‘architects’ fees, the constructicn, and even the early operation, o f the project. The. Government loans would be made for a period of 60 years, with the per cent. The CIO and a few pub- interest at not more than Three lie housing enthusiasts are said to be busy throughout the coun­ try endeavoring to line*up sup­ port for the proposal. Milk Products Add To Turkey Profits More Eggs Result Of Judicious Use Increased egg production of nearly 25 per cent and an increased profit of $2.57 per hen, as a result of adding milk products to the ra­ tions of breeding turkeys, is indi­ cated in results of a feeding demon­ stration reported "by the . Kraft foods company. Two similar flocks of broad breasted bronze turkeys on the Lester Woodhams* ranch at Sonora, Calif., were placed on test at the beginning of the season. Both flocks were fed a ration consisting of commercial breeder mash in* pellet form, some oats and a little com. One flock had 130 hens and the other 204. Breeding and man­ agement of the two flocks was identical. A pelletized milk pro­ duct was added to the ration of the smaller flock.

About 400,000 bushel o f 1948 Ross county corn is to be shipped to Africa as food and for plant­ ing on government orders. Corn stored in various sections of the county is being loaded into box cars to be carried to seaports for shipment.. It will require a train of about 160 cars to carry the grain, which rates as No. 3 white and. yellow?- according to government standards. Ross is one o f four * Ohio counties from which corn will be.-, shipped because of the anguimois moth of that area.

Superphosphate Assists Effectiveness of Manure One load of manure can be made to do the work of two in topdressing fields, if superphosphate is added before manure is spread, says Prof. C. J. Chapman, of the Uni­ versity of Wisconsin. He suggests putting 25 to 30 pounds of super- phosphate in the spreader as the manure goes out onto the field, or scattering superphosphate in barn gutters at The rate of a pound p»r cow per day. “ Ob -By SENATOR ROBERT A. TAFT; These turkeys show what ex­ cellent results can be obtained by turkey raisers with use of proper feed and control of flocks. Careful records of egg- produc­ tion and feed consumption were maintained from the start of egg production, February 21, to May 26 whfin the birds were marketed because of the lateness of the hatch­ ing season. Both flocks were pro­ ducing at better than 40 per cent when marketed. During the 94-day laying period the 130 hens in the flock receiving the pelletized milk product laid a total of 6,257 eggs, an average of 48.1 eggs each. In the same period the 204 hens in the control flock laid 7,811 eggs, or an average of 38.3 each. This meant that the test flock produced better than 25 per cent more eggs. Rate of production was 51.2 per cent for the test flock compared to 40 per cent for the conrol flock. Eggs from the test flock graded 91.6 per cent saleable for hatching against 89.3 per cent for the control flock. With hatching eggs at 32 cents each, this meant that each hen receiving the pelletized milk product produced an average of $14.11 worth of hatching eggs, or $3.17 more than the average for the control flock, which was S10.94. T HE President’s speech in Miami in which he insisted that the Military Assistance Program for 11 nations be adopt­ ed as submitted to Congress did not produce any convincing arguments to change the convictions of Congressmen or Senators. The House voted to cut the program in half. Sen­ ator Vandenberg agrees substantially to the House figure, but would authorize a similar amount* to be contracted for the second year. .Both Committees curtly de­ clined the demand o f the President that he be giv­ en discretionary power to extend ^ military aid to any country or government in the world. They have also limit­ ed the proposal for giving away army surp lus without count­ ing it as an ap­ propriation. & At Miami the President fell back on the old generalities and tried to smear the opponents of European arming with the opprobrious epi­ thet of isolationists. Of course, iso­ lationism can hardly be charged against anyone like myself who favors a warning to the USSR that if they attack Western Europe we will be in the war against them. • In the European Recovery Pro­ gram, we decided that financial aid would enable the European countries to achieve much faster economic recovery and improved standards of living, and thereby block communism. It is clear that arms aid can only make it less" effective for these purposes. The State Department admits that the people of these countries, will “unquestionably accept further sacrifices required to permit suffici­ ent funds to be realized from non- inflationary soui’ces to finance the internal cost of this increased mili­ tary production program.” In short, the - increased standard of living, which the ERP is supposed to pro­ duce, is to be cut by the Military Assistance Program. & >K ift T HE President tries to answer this argument by stating that “ to, continue the momentum of this eco­ nomic advance, it is necessary now to remove the obstacles created by the fear of military aggression.” With due respect for tlie President, this is nonsense. Even in December when I was in Europe, there was little fear o f Russian attack, and the willingness to invest money seemed to be greatest in Italy which has no defense against Rus­ sia at all with or without the Mili­ tary Assistance Program. The increased American expen­ diture on the other hand is dan-, gerous to the American economy because it increases an existing deficit by another billion dollars this year, and no one knows how much in the future., The one es­ sential for European recovery and defense is a prosperous America. We cannot stand increased taxes, and probably not even the burden we now have. From a military standpoint, the evidence presented to the commit­ tees has not been impressive. There is no guarantee that the arms aid proposed will really enable these' countries to defeat an all-out Rus­ sian attack, yet the wide extent of the program is certainly calculated to alarm the Russians, especially when accompanied by such sensa­ tional moves as the recent visit of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to Europe. * * * nnHE President protests that our •“ •action is purely defensive and says “we are building defenses so that we won’t have to fight.” ’ This is certainly the discredited theory of the Maginot Line. In the next sentence he refers to “mobile de­ fense forces” which can only mean defense forces that can be used in attack, as practically all arms can be now used. Every armament race in history has been justified by the necessity of defense. I believe the program is intended to be defensive, but will it seem so to the Russians ? Our best hope is that ihe whole program is • so futile that they will not regard it as serious. But then it becomes pure waste which we cannot afford, I believe the Atlantic Pact by Itself to be a deterrent to Russian aggression; and I believe even more strongly that the all-power­ ful American air force equipped, with the atomic bomb is ten times the deterrent of the whole Mili­ tary Assistance Program. Yet, at the very moment the Admin­ istration is insisting on scattering 'American arms in Europe, it is opposing the idea of a 79-group American sir force. » WATCHYOUSAVINGS CROW ' * Individual Accounts Insured Up To $5,000 t „ ■■ ’ .
