Meeting OF Rotary Club

The Malta-M McConnelsville Rotary
evening. After the dinner, Frank
Coulson, Wayland Cochran, and
Harry Gordon led the discussion or
the proposed development of the
Muskingum water shed through the
flood control reforestation and soil
erosion projects which have been
presented to President Roosevelt fol
developments in his unemployment
relief program.
report was made, showing that
this project will affect all or por-
tions of % counties in southeastern
Ohio, if it goes through, and it is es-
timated that it will cost approxi-
mately $53,000,0O0 to complete the
project once it is started. 1t is pro-
posed that a system of check dams
for the small streams be developed.
and possibly some large conservancy
dams constructed. to control the
flood waters, on similar plan used
in the Miami valley, near Dayton.
1t was stated that the recent
flood damage to Cincinnati and 9TH
er Ohio river towns would have
been negligible if the flood waters Of
the Muskingum river had been un-
der proper flood control. 1t was al
SO stated that a development of the
Muskingum valley in the way of es-
tablishing manufacturing and other
business concerns, would be greatly
helped if the flood waters were un-
der control. This is because the
river is constant danger to the
business establishments which are
in the valley
The cost of this improvement will
be borne by the federal government
paying three-fourths, and the state
and counties to divide the remainder
of the cost on some equitable basis.
Every resident of the valley realizes
that we are paying for the cost of
this Improvement whether we have
it or not,-in other words, the dam
age caused by floods and soil eros
ion amounts to large figure during
the time the valley goes undeveloped
and uncontrolled, in so far as flood
relief is concerned.

Ideals OF The Young American

(By H. Mount. New Concord, o.
Every boy in America has some
ideals which he strives to achieve
at some time during his life. The
boy in the teens now, usually ad-
mires man who can do things like
an engineer Or an aviator. and SO he
proudly vows to become either an
engineer or an aviator, when he
gets big like daddy.
So it is with the Young American
magazine. 1t was first founded in
1927, by a boy with similar ideals,
and from a small circulation in his
own state of Kentucky, the mag
azine has now grown so rapidly that
1T covers the United States. with
Branch offices in the mid-western,
western and eastern parts of the
country.
This magazine was founded pri-
nar1ly for amateur students of Jour.
aalism, and aims to give fair

The Jolly Farmer All club met
Friday evening, with q members
and club leader present Three more
new members were voted on and
taken into the club. namely: oliver
Ball, Robert Kalb and Robert Fox.
1t was decided to secure the volley
ball and net from the girls club, to
use at our meetings during the rec
reation hour. At this meeting we
confined the club to gardening,
farm engineering and one class of
livestock to hold the interest of all
the club members. We made list
of what we should do in the club to
make it most interesting, and we de-
Cided to work while we work, and
play while we play. About IL club
members met Sunday afternoon, un-
der the management Of John Wood
ward, and practiced for the first
time for the clubs baseball team.
John has had baseball under three
athletic coaches, and he is going to
be an excellent manager and coach.
1t is likely that he will be playing
manager, and will probably be the
pitcher. Other positions will prob
ably be decided for sure Sunday, II
weather permits If John does not
show you a good team it will not be
his fault, but the fault Of the rest of
the players.
The next club meeting will be
held at the Meigs Valley grange
hall, Friday, May 5. at y NIX.

no, the proprietor meant it, and it

that mayze we can get the use of the

other is that if the grangers don't
turn out any better than they have

Good Soldiers

The annual war over the army
budget is on again Since the days
of Warren G. Harding, every presi-
dent has charged up the hill against
excessive army appropriations, only
to back down in the face of a bar
rage of army propaganda and po-
ltical pressure
President Coolidge was provoked
into public warning that the mil
itary was trying to usurp the civil
authority of government. President
Hoover did not get very far with his
economy plans.
Now President Roosevelt and
Budget Director Douglas actually
are going to cut $144,000,0 900 from
the s365,0O0,000 war department
budget reduction of about $54,-
100000 from non-military expenses,
some of which will be replaced in
the public works budget, and $780,
100000 from military expenses
And again the same old cry goes up
that the administration is destroy
ing the army.
This cry cannot be taken serious
ly. The wartime records of Pres
ident Roosevelt and Director Doug
las are too we'll known for the pub
lie to believe that these men are
trying to wreck national defense
Moreover, army waste and ex-
travagance are no longer a secret.
In the name of efficiency, if moth
ing else. much of the dead wood
should be eliminated This is COM
mon knowledge among officers,
though few have the courage to say
SO publicly. Major General john
son Hagood with bravery and .accur-
acy has stated the case. He says:
eve can get better organi-
ZatlOn for less. We have too
many bureaus already and we
could spare six or eight of them
with advantage to the national
defense and to the joy of the
taxpayer. II have twice as
many staff officers, clerks and
orderlies as need, but / can
not get rid of them under the
existing set-up.'
Now that the civilian branches of
government have been reduced so
drastically, the military men should
be good soldiers enough to take
their share of economy without
whimpering. AS they know, in the
federal payroll reductions for the
period of 1924 the total military
cut was only four percent compared /
with 10 percent decrease in the to-
tai civilian payroll. While the
civilian personnel was reduced for
that period II percent, the military
personnel was cut only four-tenths
Of one percent
The commander-in-chie Presi- !
dent Roosevelt, is making the cuts !
regardless of protests, and the pub
lie is back of the president. Not |
cnly less expensive, but a more
efficient army is likely to result
