tical way beyond the creaClon OF
a committee. Goering'S Vienna
speech indicated 100000 Jews in
Vienna alone must go. Under
the Roosevelt quota proposal,
only $500 could be taken in
here before July l, and the fol
lowing year there would be
room for only $1,000 more.
Then comes the practical
question whether private organi-
cations could finance the trans
portation of even that many
and guarantee their employ
ment at a living wage here, and
whether the oppressed immi-
grants would take jobs that
otherwise might go to unem-
ployed here.
The Nazis have indicated they
would not let the well-to-do
refugees take any wealth out of
the country Or let anyone de-
part who had secretly trans
ferred money to other countries
before the conquest.
If you multiply these practical
difficulties by the number of
oppressed peoples in other sec
tionS of the world, you will get
the idea that more than the milk
of human kindness will be
needed to make the moves sue
ceSSful migration.
Frankly they figure it will
turn out to be a minor gesture.
MIR. John Lewis has been play
4VA ing a tough Hamlet since
his distant acquaintance, Bill
Green, made a tentative wage
hour deal with Mr.. Roosevelt.
Lewis bit off his steel pencil,
ground it like chew of tobacco
and Spat a few tackS on the
floor Of several private confer
ences with congressman dur
ing the past few days. But
somehow the tacks did not seem
to be really as pointed as they
sounded.
The CIO baron told the legis-
lators he wanted a floor on
wages, suggested a 40 cent floor,
indicated he might take 80 or
35 cents. but would not take
20. He did not want any boards
squabbling over a figure, did
not want differential fixed
geographically for the South.
but only "competitively."
Legislators, comparing notes,
found this is just about what
Green had agreed upon with the
President.
COUTHERN congressman are
~ ranting among themselves
about the Presidents use of
that word "feudalism" in his
Gainesville speech. A copy Of
a newspaper is being handed
around the cloakroomS, indicat-
ing some Southern induStrialiStS
declined to be quoted in response
to the Presidents remarks on
the ground they would be sub
ject to Administration haraSs-
ment.
EACSIMILES of the Austrian
l. German plebescite ballot
here caused diplomats to litter.
They noticed the circle provided
for the ayes was so large that
the marking could generally be
detected from the back no
matter how it is folded.
Sharp-eyed Nazi ballot box
workers, they judged, will be
able to detect how everyone
votes. This should be enough to
guarantee the usual SO per cent
approval, even if there were no
other guarantees of unanimity.

INFoRMAT!oN 7 ABOUT
DAWES FARM

Last week we asked for informa-
ton concerning the history of the
Dawes farm in Malta township, and
the Pleasant Valley church, at one
time known as the Aiken church.
From Mr.. l. H. Shilling, now owner
of the Dawes farm, we learn we
were in error as to it's original own
Dawes in the year 1918. The Land
Patent transfer is signed by James
Monroe, President of the United
States, and Mr.. Shilling has it, and
all the other deeds since, in the
several transfers. VIM. M. Dawes
was the great grandfather of the
famous Dawes brothers of the pres.
ent time. He was the father Of
Henry Dawes, who was in business
in Malta, and was the father of
Rufus Dawes, the father of former
Vice President General Charles G.
Dawes. Whether or not Henry
farm, or ever resided there, We
have not learned. Neither do we
know where VIM. M. Dawes moved
to when he sold his farm, nor when
and where his death occurred. Wm.
M. Dawes sold the place in 1884
to Humphrey Rusk, and Mr.
Rusk to his son Humphrey A. Rusk
in 1858, and the latter sold it in
1903 to Mr.. Shilling, the present
owner Mr.. Shilling informs us
that the first owner of the farm
and at one time there was a tannery
on it, also a still. There are $50
acres in the farm.
AS yet no one has given us any
additional information concerning
the old Aiken church.

LAUNCHES BIG CAMPAIGN ON
GAS REFRIGERATORS

Announcement of the biggest
sales and advertising campaign on
1888 gas refrigeratOrs in the COM
pany's history was made yesterday
by e. w. Shuler, local manager of
the gas company. Dana Walker, To-
cal sales representative of the COM
pany and district officials attended
a sales meeting in Columbus re-
Gently, where plans for 1898 gas re-
frigerator campaign were unfolded.
After inspecting the new features of
the 1898 Servel ElectroluX gas re-
frigerator, the statesmen were shown
the advertising schedules for the
spring campaign, including practi-
cally every accepted media. BY far
the largest portion of this advertis.
ing investment will be used for
space in local newspapers.
When the air-coOled model Of gas
refrigerator was INTRODUCED in 1898,
the gas company reports that its
sales far exceeded any previous
year. In 1897 the sales of gas re.
frigerators exceeded 1898 sales by
440 percent. Early inquiries on the
1888 model lead the organization to
believe that this season will be it's
most successful.
