There is no unimport­ ant election in America. The right to vote, next to, religious free­ dom, which is impossible without a free voting franchise fo r that matter, is a precious heritage, obtained fo r us by blood and: sweat and tears through long, long years. That right can be maintained only by its exercise. Everybody vote. MORE DEBT Whatever is said about the ses­ sion o f the 81st congress it has to be admitted that it spent more money and agreed to s pend even more money than any peace-time congress in the history of the United* States. A wholesale cri­ ticism o f the work of the con­ gress would he unjust. It no doubt did some wise things. But there is no escape from one thing it did—it ran the country into debt deeper than it has ever been. RABBLE ROUSERS The behavier of the 11 persons charged with un-American activ­ ities and threats to overthrow the government labels them what they are—anarchists. Blatant, bombastic bellowing in the court room; all-out arrogance and total disregard fo r the dignity o f a court of justice, any or all of these would prove the defendants guil­ ty of what they are charged with. And their attorneys were even worse than the accused. Ameri­ cans insist on every accused hav­ ing a fair hearing, .and being given the benefit of every doubt. But all doubt of the guilt of these "rabble reusers was removed long ago. YOU ARE PRETTY RICH You are pretty rich. Besides cider in the jug, pop­ corn on the string in the loft, fruit and garden sass in the lock­ er and bins full of corn in the government bins down by Xenia, You own a lot of surpluses. You have a stake in 59 million pounds of dried eggs that ought to last you quite a spell if all your chickens should die with the pip. Don’t be skimpy with the cheese when you pass it around when we come to eat at your house. Remember, you’ve got over 15 million pounds o f cheese, which is a tie that binds you and your countrymen! Half of the but­ ter in the world you have stored; away waiting till its strong enough to move on its own power. Just look at the kidney beans you’ve got—a half million bags of them, not counting what you raised this year! Greene county doesn’t have enough space to park the 36 ships loaded, with wheat the government Jyou, that is) have lying around in the har­ bors, besides all the bins and elevators everywhere. We suppose you know about that 120,000 tons o f wine and raisins .you picked up while the market was high, with the idea o f keeping it higher,, that you plan to feed to hogs at $80 a ton, so you can hoard more bacon ? You are pretty rich. IS IT FOR BIGNESS? Thousands o f delegates from the Disciples of Christ church, f in convention in Cincinnat i, pre- j sented as the most important j consideration of the meeting the proposed union o f the denomina­ tion with the Baptist church. There is a general movement towards unification and merger o f religious denominations. An­ other branch o f the Church o f Christ a few years ago united with the Congregational church. A ll branches of Methodism ate now under one denomination. A half dozen other groups have merged. It would be a back-homq move fo r the Disciples to unite with the Baptists. Alexander Campbell led them away some generations ago. Proudly the new church folk called themselves “ Campbellities.” Later genera­ tions disliked the nickname, as so often happens. Now reunion with the Baptists is being urged by leaders in the denomination. Not for bigness, the world hopes, fo r mere bigness is not always greatness, England is hotup over a pic­ ture.of P ii ieess Elizabeth in her home that shows an ash tray with telltale cigarette butts in it. Shucks, maybe she won it in a radio contest! * Britons are worrying about the slow-moving food ministry that let 28 million dollars worth o f potatoes rot before they could he distriubted, and 15 tons of bacon spoiled fo r the game rea­ son. I f you happen to see a Bri- isher slap him on the back sym­ pathetically and tell him to cheer up—we do it that way in our country on purpose! Statistics (remember them?) 3how that there is only one den­ tist in USA for every 1,727 per­ sons. No wonder there are 1940 issues of magazines in dentists' office—the patients are that far back on their reading. Set this down: When any man, refers to t he "common man” he’s bragging that he isn’t one of A loner the Greene County Farm Front By E. A. DRAKE Poultrymen To Convene Management o f the poultry flock to secure maximum pro­ duction o f quality eggs will be the theme of a -county-wide meeting o f Greene County poultrymen at the Court House. Assembly room Wednesday evening November 8 at 8:00 p. m. D. D. Moyer, extension poultry specialist o f Ohio State Univer­ sity will discuss feeding and man­ agement. practces including labor saving tips in handling the flock. Lloyd Mullett, manager o f the Ohio Valley E gg Cooperative, with headquarters at Milford, wifi tell o f their work in grading and merchandizing eggs cooper­ atively.

'Lane Produces 99.47% Clean Fruit Orchard Lane, Fairfield pike, owned and operated by James B. Lane produced 99.47% clean fruit in 1949 according to a sur­ vey made by T. H. Parks, ex­ tension entomologist of Ohio State university. The survey was made to de­ termine freedom from insect and disease blemishes on fruit in or­ chards throughout the estate that received a full spray program. The Lane orchard was listed on the state’s honor roll, being in eighth place among all orchards in the production o f clean fruit. Thirty-six hundred samples of fru it .were checked in the orchard with only one-half of. one per­ cent showing insect injury. It was one of the few orchards in the state without any apple scab and the only one where no scab was found two years in succes­ sion. Eleven different spray applica­ tions were applied to Mr. Lane’s 30 acres o f apple trees this year. He reports an average crop, in volume, however the fru it size is excellent due to light set and a thorough job of thinning. Fudge Herd A t International The Myron Fudge and Son Ayr­ shire herd o f JamestoWn won more than a score of awards at the International Dairy Exposi­ tion at Indianapolis last week.' Ther enti'ies in the Ohio exhibit won championship honors in the 4-H show.

This was the first international dairy exposition and it was held on the state fair grounds at Indi­ anapolis. Around 3000 head of dairy cattle from 38 states were on exhibit. Babcock To Speak A t Nutri tion *Conference . America’s leading advocate of an animal agriculture, H. E. Bab­ cock, New York state farmer and writer, is scheduled to appear on the Ohio Animal Nutrition Con­ ference, Nov. 10 and 11, at Ohio State university. New ideas in feeding animals for producton and market will be reviewed during the two days, When In Doubt VOTE “ NO” Voters in the.Village of Cedarville will be handed a small referendum ballot at the polls Tuesday, No­ vember 8th,6which calls for a referendum vote on two Village Ordinances pertaining to increasing the -sa l­ aries of certain village officials. ___j For Ordinance No. 250—Yes l X |Against Ordinance No. 250—No For Ordinance No, 251—Yes Against Ordinance No. 251—No Ordinance No. 250 provides for the increase in salary of Mem­ bers of Council. Ordinance No. 251 provides fo r increases in the salaries of Mayor, Clerk and Treasurer, the mayor’s salary be­ ing doubled. Under ordinary circumstances one would not be inclined to oppose a reasonable salary increase but in view o f the almost hopeless condition o f the Village funds,.the heavy bonded debt with the second highest tax rate of-any village in the county, increased property values for taxation, a higher jtax rate in county taxes due to the county hospital, and a heavy in­ crease next year for funds to operate the hospital, there are many property owners in the village that; think salary increases at this time are far from being waranted. Renter andPropertyOwner MustPayAlike Both the renter and property owner will he forced to pay, the former through water and sewerage service rentals and the latter likewise in addition to property tax. The property tax duplicate will not warrant all charges for sewer assessments and services charges, and Council has adopted what is known as First Mortgage bonds to be paid o ff by increasing the present sewerage charges, probably three to five times what is being charged property own­ ers and renters today. All homes and business will be covered by this Mortgage. Included in the service charges will be the cost o f the settle­ m e n t 's a result of the suit of II. A. Tyson against the Village, which has been settled by agreement fo r $7,000. This suit was the result o f Council refusing to recognice oft time notice to discon­ tinue running live sewerage on the Tyson land. Matrons of the sewer system are now called upon to pay $7,000 as a result o f the damage suit. WHAT INDUCEMENT IS THERE TO INVESTED CAPITAL? How can Cedarville go on and prosper with a heavy bonded debt, high- tax rate and heavy service charges ? How can labor meet these charges with local industry, as at present laying o ff men? -There are many alive that can recall the days of.panics, depressions, when hundreds of property owners could not pay taxes and it was not so many years ago when the village officials did not get their pay monthly—due to slow tax payments. Just Monday o f this week a much wanted institution the 4own has needed fo r some years, could not be possible. The investigators reported the general economic finger* was pointed downward and in view of local financial conditions, have fo r the time being, given up the proposition, which .had never reached the public ear. Vote “NO” in your own interest and the * * future interest of your Village and the Community The referendum petitions were sponsored by a local committee composed of Karlh Bull, Leo Anderson and J. C. ‘ Townsley with sneakers listed for discus­ sions on feeding beef animals, swine, dairy cattle and poultry. Babcock, who Is a trustee of Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Yu will present his arguments on a “ strode animal agriculture for a healthy America.” Save Labor In Poultry House Do you want to save up to 730 trips -per year to the poultry house? If so. include an automatic watering system in your plans for housing the pullet flpck this fall. Other labor-saving steps are wall-type feed bins, and large- type ejean-egg nests. If ventilation"'has been a prob­ lem in previous years, an exhaust fan system may be. installed. Plans fo r these and others may he had at the poultry meeting next Wednesday evening. * County Dairy Meeting Nov. 10 H. R.

Starbuck, extension dairy specialist, who will meet with Greene County dairymen the evening- o f November r10 has add-,, ed anjjther suggestion to the* growing list o f ideas of what to do with our record supply of corn. He states that at present feed prices farmers will find it will The Cedarville, O. Herald pay them to use more corn in the grain Mixture. Corn furnishes total digestible nutrients at a lower cost than most other farm grains. Tests of complex vs. simple grain mixtures at-the Ohio Agri­ cultural Experiment Station have indicated that dairy cows will produce fully as well, on a simple mixture, he explained. Ip the simple mixture,. 1,550 pounds of ground shelled corn were substituted for the follow­ ing ingredients of the complex formula: SOO pounds of ground shelled corn, 400 pounds of ground oats, 100 pounds of wheat bran- and 300 pounds of molasses mix­ ing feed. • Steamed bonemeal, salt lime­ stone and extracted soybean oil meal were included in. both ra- t ons in equal amounts except fo r the soybean oil meal, of which 400 pounds were used in the simple formula as compared with 150 pounds- in the complex one. If the roughage, such as alfal­ fa and other legume hays and silage, is good enough to furnish the protein the cows need,, good results could be expected by re­ placing the enftire concentrate mixture with corn.
