A couple o f boys, in a strawberry patch constitute a womless quorum. BIGGER CORN CROPS Champaign county, our neigh­ bor to the north, proposes to prove to the worid that it can produce 300: bushels of corn to the acre. It will be done by careful selection of varieties, correct cul­ tivation and scientific methods all along the row. We wouldn't want to put so much as a tiny jimson weed in the way of this , noble enterprise, but while we’re on the subject we'd like to ask i f they have arranged for the ground to put the bins on when the government stores it? n o n - p o l it ic a l The president on his non-poli­ tical tour o f the country at your expense told the folks the Taft- Hartley law must be repealed as it is evil; that the “privileged few ” mu3t be done away with somehow; that we must have a new farm law; that equal oppor­ tunities fo r all must be provided, and that we must help less for­ tunate families. It’ll take several non-political tours to bring all that to pass. IT'S ALL COLD Plagued by the cold war, USA has been counting on its fingers and finds that it takes $100,000,- 000 to equip one armored division —and we have to have 10 o f them! W e need 20 infantry di­ visions, with a cost total that sends the cold war into a shiver down Uncle Sam’s backbone. It takes a lot o f cold cash to fight m cold wax'. PREPOSTEROUS Joe Ferguson vs. Bob Taft! Preposterous! Certainly, even Joe Ferguson has a right to run for the U~ S. Senate; anybody has that right. But can you imagine voting fo r Joe Ferguson in pre­ ference to Senator Taft? Joe says Jkg Will win by a half million votes? Whose and why?

We note that men shall beat their swords and spears into ploughshares sad priming hooks, and nations shall learn o f war no more. This prophecy is similar to one by Isaiah. Did Mlcah copy from Isaiah, or Isaiah from Micah? Or did both copy from an older prophecy? We do not know. War having been done away, men shall be free to develop the arts of peace and the cultivation of brotherhood, under the name and blessing of Jehovah. This is a beau­ tiful picture o f a warless world— a picture often seen in the imagina­ tion o f men, but not yet realized. The coming o f Jesus of Nazareth, it was prophesied, would have . much to contribute to the realiza­ tion c l peace. The reader may re­ member that Micah 3:2 was quoted tor the Jewish authorities when they were asked by Herod where Christ should be born, according to proph­ ecy. The closing portion o f the les­ son deals with the beauty of God’s forgiving love. Upon bis repentant children God will have compassion, and he will cast their sins into the depths o f the sea. So Micah hopes for salvation from God. even unto the uttermost. May we find pardon at his right hand and grace to help la time of need. CLARENCE J.

On Wednes-' day Secretary o f State Acheson was to make an off-th-reeord report to members of congress on conferences he attended on his recent trip to Europe. The Ohio delegation in congress Were luncheon guests of an Ohio Farm Bureau committee here in Washington last Wednesday. Mrs. Roy Titus o f Bellefontaine, Wal­ ter Hollars o f Washington G.

The Ohio farm leaders re­ ported the first returns from a state-wide poll o f' farmers. This survey shows only 15 percent of Ohio, farmers* support the Bran- nan plan by name; 13 percent favor the present agriculture act, while an additional 50 .per­ cent approve o f it with certain amendments. Thirty-two percent o f the farmers polled are opposed to any government plan or con­ trol fo r agriculture; 65 percent favored storing'enough storable crops to stabilize supply; 50 per­ cent approved distributing food surpluses to state and county re­ lief agencies; 75 percent want the government to promote reseach to find new uses for agricultural surpluses; and 58 percent desire the establishment o f more farm ”1 REMEMBER BY THE01&TIMERS H * < < 1< iAricr— Nothing is as cheery as the song o f the meadow lark in the rain.

"HOW TO WINFRIENDS"and Stiiiiil Mind Makes a Sound Body •TODAY’S PIECE Is inspired by a wpman who lives in Flushing, * New York, and who requests that we use only her initials, L. B. Mrs. L .B .’s husband has been ill a long time, not down and out, but always feeling bad. Eventually he developed nervous indigestion (Which usually comes from worry.) Month after month he frequented the doctors’ of­ fices, trying first one and then the other. He got no better; i f anything, he was consistently, getting worse. Finally, he consulted a chiropractor who gave him treatments for a couple o f months. But still there was no improvement in his condition. Yes, he could see that he was not only not im­ proving, he was'steadily becoming a chronic in­ valid. ' Then one- day Mrs. L .B . read a list of books in a newspaper that doctors recom- Carnegie mended for nervous patients, patients suffer­ ing from nervous disorders o f any kind. She went right out and bought seme o f those books. Why,'they didn’t seom in th* least like medical books. Instead they were just “ common-sense books.” But she read them, and she persuaded her husband to read them. This wasn’t diffi­ cult to do fo r he was like the proverbial drowning man grasping fa r a- straw. HA was sick o f being sick! What particular thought do you think carried through for Mr. L .B ? Just this; To live one day at a time, and not to worry about the past por to take heed fo r the future. “Why,when he storied that course,” says Mrs , L. B., at oace began to improve.. He became less nervous, ha discarded the idea newly developed that he must have heart trouble, and he even enjoyed playing with oar six-yaar-eld son whose noise and activities so re­ cently had nanarvodhim.” “In an amazingly short tim e'm y husband was completely cured.

Following charges in congress that “ the fix is on again,” it ap­ pears that a complete review o f the famous Amerasia- case will be forced. It may be remembered that during the war government under-cover . agents discovered that a very small magazine in New York had a very large photo­ graphing and photostating lab­ oratory .in which were found hundreds o f top-secret documents including American invasion plans for Japan, information on the then secret atomic bomb, and other important papers. Under very peculiar conditions, some high-ranking federal officia 1s closely connected with the case escaped prosecution, while two minor figures were fined $500 and $25000, respectively. Now the congress and the American people* were wanting to know “ why",and “how.” Senator Knowland has intro­ duced a resolution to amend the constitution to authorize the gov­ ernors o f the various states to vouK been sent to the Department of Justice by the Labor Department for investigation as to whether perjury has been committed. Up to this time, the Department has not filed a single charge. It is quite true that it Is not ’"an easy task to prove that a man is a Communist, but the Depart­ m e n t succeeded in doing 'so in ' the recent "Communist trial, In New York, in the Marzani case and others, and it is unbeliev­ able that the FBI does not have extensive information regarding these labor union officers. A representative of the Depart­ ment of Justice recently excused the Department on the ground that the oath related only to the time when the oath was made, and therefore the Department would have difficulty proving that he was then a Communist and evi­ dence that he had been a Com­ munist in the past would not be sufficient. This seems to me the merest subterfuge. I would not be in favor of an oath barring a man because he had been a Communist at some time in the past, because certainly men may change their minds. I doubt if such a provision would be constitutional. The oath in the Taft-Hartley law in this respect is exactly the same as the oath required from government employees. • » *. THHE truth is that the Depart- ment of Justice has done noth­ ing to support the Taft-Hartley law from the beginning. Its deci­ sions on union welfare funds and the checkoff have nullified various provisions o f the Taft-Hartley law. Its conduct o f the contempt case 'against the United Mine Workers conld not have been weaker if it had deliberately de­ sired to bring about an adverse decision. In the last analysis^' it is pretty hopeless to enact laws i? the executive refuses to en- , force them. * Th e a c t i o n of the S u p rem e Court, however, w ill undoubtedly strengthen the demand that the law be enforced, and it w ill. strengthen the hands of those la­ bor union leaders who are now taking drastic action to expel Com­ munists from their ranks. appoint members of congress in case the duly elected representa­ tives'should be killed in a sudden atomic-bomb raid on the nation’s capital.

And do you listen sympath* etically to Janie’s missed notes on the piano or screechy tones on the violin, but scold Tom for greasy finger prints on door knobs and the Iblack-rimmed wash basin after a i bout of tinkering with his car?. W&« are we getting at? Simply that Tom’s mechanical , aptitude is as deserving of your support as his sister’s yearn­ ings te become a musician. In our present civilization, the technician and the skilled m e ch^nio make our complicated living possible. Se Instead of ‘trying to tern such a talent into ' a professional or scholarly ‘ groove, it should be developed from childhood. Fer mechaal- - c*Uy minded children, like thoseswho are musical or are rifted In painting er writing, : lay file foundation of their in- . terests and training at home. How do you recognize a mechan­ ical turn to- your child’s mind? He will want 'to build and take apart and put together. If he is given construction toys, simple at first and more elaborate later on, much of this need will be met. It he lacks play materials that satisfy his curiosity about what makes the wheels go round, watch out for the family, clock, or your toaster or '.vacuum cleaner1 When he Is old enough to ! handle tools with reasonable care he should have good ones ' not flimsy toys that frustrate , him by breaking at ft crucial moment in an experiment. And a work bench with some space of his own is a must for the in­ ventive young mechanic. Hav­ ing his own tools and a place to keep them is the only way to encourage orderliness. This Is Important, for if yonr son makes a career in mechanics he will have to be neat—a slop­ py worker doesn’t rate very high in a busy plant. Another trait to encourage is the ability to accept failure as a les­ son in what not to do. Not all ex­ periments work out, but even the busts can teach valuable lessons if the child is able to rise above his disappointment. So don’t be too critical because of wasted ma­ terials, nor too sympathetic either. Just be interested and help the puzzled experimenter figure out why he didn’ t succeed this time. A good foundation in arith­ metic is a prerequisite for m career in mechanical engineer­ ing. Mathematics isn’ t likely to be too bard a subject for a child with a genuine mechani­ cal torn, but In the course of his grade school work he may encounter a poor teacher or two. It is well to be prepared to give some help at home, either parental or a little tutor­ ing, so there won’ t be weak spots In Ms skill with figures, Later on, when school courses in fshop are- available, make it your business to consult with the voca­ tional adviser—both to insure that your child elects the most useful ones, and also to keep him from, neglecting the cultural side oi his schooling. the conference report on the ECA -—or foreign aid— authorization bill after a bitter fight over the $3f5 million item to- start the president’s point four program o f giving American economic and financial assistance to the back­ ward areas of the world.
