Grain Threshing
About Completed

The threshing Of wheat and oats
has been practically completed in
Madison county with reports indicat-
ing fair harvest of wheat and poor
oats yield.
The corn crop in this section, aside
from the acreage cut by the heavy
hail of a week ago, affords one of
the finest corn prospects in years.
One of the most interesting sights
in this section is the great corn field
at the prison farm, the stalks stand
ing now far above the heads Of the
prisoners with the grain still grow
ing and with the ears setting in such
quantity that no attempt is being
made to estimate the possible yield.
The prison farm field is one of the
finest fields of corn at this season
of the year in the history of this
county, farm experts state.

the brutal truth.
Life insurance companies, savings
banks and other large institutional in
vestors maintain able statistical de-
partments to watch their investments
for them and help them get out from
under before other investors, less as
tute, discover the weakness in issues.
Many Of them have been, and are now
profoundly 'bearish on rails because
of the nations highway and waterway
policies. It is mighty poor army
whose outposts are permitted to drop
their guns and run to safety as soon
as the enemy is sighted. 1t is no won
der that such an army has met defeat.
1t is now time to rally the forces, re-
form the weak tactics, abandon the de-
fensive and attack"

Self Respect

The camp fire was burning low. A
group Of boys and girls who had
come to know one another fairly
well during a week of camp life
We're discussing self-respect. The
members of this group had defined
self-respect as "belief in ones value
to God and fellowmen." Now they
were talking frankly of some Of their
experiences.
"Once | voted for myself in an
election" spoke up Tom, "and | had
a terrible time winning back my self
respect"
Telling something about someone
that wasn't true would get me down.
said Mary. "And now I've come to
the conclusion that gossiping about
that injured someone, even though
the gossip was true, would make il
impossible for me to live with my
self"
Il couldn't retain my self-respect,'
said Susan, 'if | found a purse full
of money and did not make real
effort to discover the owner"
"The times when | have slighted a
negro or Chinese have been the hard.
est on my self-respect," Joe con-
fessed. Il could cheat in game
before | do that again. Selected.

Are informed

sst Il i r
Operation of an armored automobile
as a rolling bank" in a portion of
western Madison county and in Clark
and Fayette counties, was discontinued
Friday by officials of The First Ma
tional Bank and Trust Co., of Spring
field, according to Richard K. Buehler,
vice president and cashier. The bank
received notice from the comptroller
Of the currency at Washington, D. c.,
that federal banking laws do not per-
init such trolling banks"
The almored truck had been in OPP
Grafton for the last three weeks under
the supervision of Arthur Sprague. 1t
was Instituted, Mr.. Buehler said, as a
courtesy to customers of the bank in
communities surrounding Springfield,
not otherwise served by financial in
stitutions. Deposits were collected and
checks cashed by operators of the
truck.
Mr.. Buehler stated that the bank
asked the federal banking department
fer ruling on the truck at the time
is was placed in operation. The ruling
was given Friday. The official ex-
planned that national banks are not
permitted to operate branch banks
outside the corporate limits of the city
in which they are situated. The arm
ored truck was considered to be a
branch bank.
The ''rolling bank" made its last run

Fortunate indeed are Ohioans in

joyed view of Lake Erie and felt
its cooling breezes, or taken dip
at one of its beaches, a real treat

Many of the beaches of Lake Erie
are as fine as those of the more
celebrated seaside resorts. In fact,
those who know, say that there is
little difference between ocean bath

of course, that the water is fresh

Weather

Weather, whether we can do any
thing about it or not, continues, al
ways, to be a universal topic of con
versation. Fortunately we forget,
very soon ,all about the weather, so
concerned and absorbed are we in the
present brand.
Nothing is much harder to talk
about in weekly newspaper than
the weather.
Usually there have been a half
dozen changes in the weather before
weekly paper gets around to com
menting on it.
That brings US to the point of say
ing that we had some awfully hot
weather last week.
Maybe, by this time, most of US
have forgotten about it or il
may be hot again!
The thing to keep in mind is this:
We need the hot weather; it plays
its part remarkably well in a corn
and-hog country.
Those of US who are not corn and
hogs have to bear our share of it, of
course, but it's for the sake of the
corn and hogsl
With the rains, and the hot
weather, and the deep foliage Of the
year, everything has been very beau
tiful, and the world all around is
looking misunderstanding Citizen.

Money

Money, somehow, always seems
scarce. When there is plenty of
money, and everybody has more OF
less Of it, prices are high and we all
seem shy what we need to get along.
When money is scarce, and prices
of commodities drop way down, then
nobody has enough money to get
anything even at the low prices!
Funny, isn't it?
But the average ratio remains
about the same.
The thing to do is to make the
most out of day-by-day life, real
izing that after all, money is mere
ly incidental, and the things that
count the most are good health, some
work to do, and a home to live in,
and friends.
Think that over !

tion-wide in scope is being formed
here to effect non-governmental
boycott by Americans Of Japanese

Association, it claims an i'm.
pressive executive committee. The

China's trade is now cut off, and
that If America will cut off her
trade, Japan will have to yield
to economic pressure and get out
