Father And Son

Father and son parties are not
numerous at Ohio penitentiary. An
exception was recently when a young
man was sent from Musk1ngum
county to join his father in prison,
the elder being there under long
sentence for a different crime. The
sense of parental protection seems
to operate to prevent parent and
child engaging in crime together,
which is easily understandable. But
then like father, like son, is an old
saw generally recognized, and when
a son travels the same downward
path that his father took before him
it is no more of an unusual occur
renee than when a son travels the
same honest road that his parent
did. Example is a powerful force
in moulding the lives of the young.
Every man is hero to his children
and if he allows temptation to get
the better of him he has no one
but himself to blame if his children
too are weak.
The foregoing appeared as an ed
itorial in the Ohio State Journal.
While no names are mentioned, it is

Perley McCarty Dies

We were informed last week of
the death of Perley McCarty of Clin-
ton, ILL., He was 80 years of age
was born and reared in Morgan
county. He never married, and was
the last survivor of family of eight
children. The writer can remember
him when he was employed as farm
hand by our father, r. w. Barnes,
in the early 7O's. He will be re-
membered by many of the older cit
izens of Meigsville township. We
will vouch for the fact that he is
well remembered by the Newton
family, who resided on an adjoining
farm, now owned by John Lindi-
more and son Floyd.
There seems to be quite a number
afflicted from severe colds, in this
vicinity.
We notice in last weeks paper the
death of Mrs. Charles Roberts OF
McConnelsville. She will be remem
bered by most people here as Mrs.
Retta Barr, who with her former
husband Jacob Barr was a resident
of Meigsville township for number
of years, and was highly respected.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
TORONTO, December 7.-Subscrip-
tions to the $3.50, 900. 600 national serv-
ice loan, recently offered to Canadian
investors, aggregated $2l5,000 900, OF
S65.000 900 in excess of the offering.
The overSubScriptions will be accept
ed, the government proposing use OF
the excess to redeem outstanding treas
ury bills and bonds of the Dominion.
Success of the loan was due to the
large response of small investors to the
offering That means that the issue
has been distributed among a large
number of modest holders rather than
concentrated in the hands of a few
powerful groups.
In such general distribution signs are
seen of a return to normalcy. The pub
lie has acquired cautious attitude,
taught by the collapse of the Specula-
tive boom two years ago, and is willing
now to invest its savings in securities
returning just a little more than 5 per
cent. The whole character of the sub
scription is interpreted as rejecting a
general expectation of return to normal
conditions.
A factor contributing to its success
was the decline in wheat prices for the
drop checked any eXtraVagant hopes In
the oVerOptimism that all commodity
prices were due for an upturn.
But an improvement in wheat prices
is still expected, although a steady and
not too rapid advance would furnish
the healthiest kind of movement. At
the wheat conference held at McGtll
University. Montreal, where leading ex-
perts in grain and in economics eX-
changed views, it has been pointed out
that in a depression raw materials
are always the first to decline, while
at returning signs of prosperity they
are the first to rise Indeed, even while
wheat is returning to its pre-war level
of dollar a bushel, and perhaps long
afterward, the price of farm imple-
mentS. of manufactured silver, of cotton
textiles and the rate of wages are eX-
pected to decline steadily from what
is still in many cases the peak reached
during the period of imitation to the
scale prevailing in 1914.
Besides the usual arguments OF de-
creased world acreage, of drought in
the Southern Hemisphere and of poor
crops in Europe, there is the hope OF
British tariff on foreign grain which
would mean a certain market for the
hard Canadian wheat at Liverpool. At
present Canadian interests are adding
their voice to Lord Beaverbrook's s
against the proposed quota system and
in favor of a straight tariff.
