LATEST ORDERS

By Regional Office of
War Information

ODT REAFFIRMS REQUEST
FOR BAN ON FAIRS
Joseph B. Eastman, director of the
Office Of Defense Transportation, has
reaffirmed the recently announced
policy of ODT that travel to and from
fairs is non-essential and that fairs
with possibly few exceptions, should
be postponed for the duration.
Pointing to the critical shortage OF
rubber, Mr.. Eastman said the cars
and trucks and tires used by farmers
must be made to last until new
sources of rubber have been devel-
oped "and we can count on no less
than three years for that"
"If the vehicles are to last" he said,
CLEARLY all unnecessary use must be
avoided. l do not believe that their
use for attendance at fairs can prop
erly be classed as necessary-no do
I believe that such use is at all negli-
gible."
While postponement of fairs will be
a deprivation to the farmer, Mr.. East
man said, "it will be no means be an
intolerable deprivation"
''If convinced that postponement of
fairs will contribute to the good Of the
country in time of war;" he said, 'the
farmer will not give it a second
thought All they want, I am sure,
is to be convinced"

Victory Belongs To The Aggressor

Already the lesson learned of World number
two, is that victory belongs to the aggressorto the
nation that carries the fight to the enemy That is
the way Hitler his successes. He and his Axis
have not hesitated to take the greatest risks ii
the possible gain worth the gamble. The heavy
losses which the United Nations have suffered is laid
part the commonly held belief that it would

hasn't worked out that way.
France PINNED her faith on the "Maginot Line"
the military leaders of that country said was
impregnable--but how mistaken she was, and in !
few weeks she beaten. England had the notion
that the blockade would bring Hitler to erms-but it
didn't work At the beginning Russia placed her
hopes defensive positions such as the so-termed
'Stan Line" but quickly them destroyed by the
invader, if they were nothing more than old rail-
fences But it was not until after the fine Russian
troops the offensive that the legend of Naz invin
cbility shattered. Another exampe-and a most
tragic one, is found in the fall of Singapore, which
termed the greatest naval base ever built in the
world. England believed that the Malayan jungle
would make land attack there imposs ble-but the
Japs proved otherwise.

Whose Fault Is 1t?

Secretary of War Stimson is quoted saying that
recruits departing for training camps should receive
send-os from the home folks in the form of parades
and community demonstrations. He states that the
departure of seectve service groups has been mark
ed with considerably less public display in this
than the case in 1917-1918, and he says de-
partment officials have been very sorry" that
true.
Secretary Stmson goes to say that who
have been in the army for several months have de-
veloped a high morale, but he points out, "the mo-
ment young man leaves civil life to become sol
dier with the knowledge of difficulties and danger
ahead of him, is trying one and it is the time for
his friends to show that proud of him. Eve
in the department favor strongly any demon
straton of that feeling to him. Secretary Stimson
says.
We heartily agree with Mr. Stimson. But ask
whose fault is it? There is ruling-a least in this
state that draft boards permitted give out
the information when soldiers leaving for
service who they are, etc. With this limitation it is
possible to plan for the send-ofs 1t is true that
through those who are leaving, word leaks out when
they going, but that is hardly sufficient founda
tion which to prepare public demonstration.
In World No. /, it always given out Off
cially, who going, and those leaving would
semble in front of the house, be given a rousng

SOLIDARITY

An abstract of an address deliv-
ed by Hon. Henry A. Wallace, Vice
President of the United States, at
Omaha, Neb., on March IA:
A World war forces all of us to
think in terms larger than our own
farm, our own county, our own
state, our own nation, our own
hemisphere. We are forced to lift
our eyes to the distant horizons Of
time and space We are forced to
recognize the bravery and the or
ganizing ability of people who speak
other languages and have other
religions.
I hope that each of the twenty
six United Nations will engage in a
friendly rivalry to see who best can
serve the common cause. Let no
unconscious tool of the Axis rumor-
monger impair that solidarity
among the United Nations which
guarantees an inflexible purpose to
fight this war through to a victor
ious end
Solidarity is vital among the ma
tion of the New World And so we
need to reach common under
standing with our neighbors to the
north and south. Especially we
need to get on common ground
with the other New World farm
ers. The Iowa farmer, for exam
pie, who feels disturbed because
Canadian cattle sometimes come on
the Chicago market ought to re-
member that he is just as much
damaged by an increase in Iowa
cattle or Colorado cattle or Nebras-
ka cattle which come on the Chi
cagO market. The competition of
his fellow cattle farmers here in
the United States is a thousand
times more significant than the
competition from Canada. AS a
matter of fact the cattle farmer of
Canada and the cattle farmer of
the United States have one and the
same problem and they should CO.
operate in solving it.
The unity of the hemisphere is
SO important to our future safety
that l hope the farmers of the
United States will do everything
possible to approach the problem
of competitive agricultural products
in the spirit Of international COM
modify agreements rather than in

the spirit of competitive hatred.
Remember that economic warfare
too easily leads to military warfare.
Nazi propagandists, working skill
fully in the background, will do
their best to poison relations be-
tween us.
Not one of the twenty-six free
people of the United Nations is a
''niaster race" We leave the fool
ishness Of the master race idea
to the Nazis and the Japanese. The
proudest thing we in the United
States can say about ourselves is
that we are human beings, and that
we are fighting for decent chance
for all human beings everywhere in
the world. That goes not only for
the people of France and Norway,
of Greece and China, but also for
the unwilling victims of terror in
Germany, Italy and Japan. Here
in the United States we .haye@ mil
lions of good loyal citizens whose
ancestors came from one or .anoth-
er of these countries. No one knows
better than these loyal citizens
that there are millions in these en-
emy countries who hate dictator
ship, tyranny and brutal oppression
just as passionately as we do.
increasingly everywhere over the
world people will begin to appre-
ciate in 1912 that the United Ma
tions are fighting for a world with
out racial or class distinction 1t
is this world wide understanding
which will eventually crack the
morals of the German and Japan
ese people at the very moment
when they seem closest to winning.
Not long ago l saw a patriotic
advertisement by commercial firm
which said, Beyond every noun
tain lies a valley Today we are
struggling to find our way through
the rocky passes Of the mountain
we have set out to cross. We shall
not stop until We reach the valley,
and then we shall do our best to
make the valley bloom.
Our God is God of battles as
well as a God of peace Our God is
a God of righteous indignation as
well as of long-suffering kindness.
We know the justice of our cause
and our duty to the world. We
shall go forward to glorious sun
rise, no matter how dark the night.

FARM BUREAU COUNCIL
MET HERE

The county meeting of the Farm
Bureau Council, held in McCon-
nelsville Tuesday evening, was we'll
attended by advisory council mem
bers from different townships in
the county.
A sound picture was presented
by John Smith, district field man,
showing rapid growth and extent of
co-operatives in this county and
elsewhere including the oil wells,
pipe lines and refineries of our
west. Ohio has become noted for
the effectiveness of these councils.
The interest shown locally it was
believed, now justifies the forming
of a permanent county organization.
Clancy Newburn was chosen as
permanent chairman, and Frank
Nolan, vice chairman. The next
meeting will be held May 26 with
Carl Hutchinson, publisher of the
Ohio Co-operator, as probable
speaker.

EARLY WORK PREVENTS IN
SECT INJURY ON ROSES

Two of the more destructive in
sects on old-fashioned bush and
climbing roses, the European rose
slug and the rose leafhopper, are
easily controlled If protective meas
ures are taken in time, says c.. r.
of the Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment Station.
Both these insects appear early
in the year, and If precautions are
not taken as soon as their presence
is observed, they will make the rose
foliage unsightly for the remainder
of the growing season.
The sO-called rose slug is not
really slug but is small yellow
ish-green false caterpillar that has
somewhat the appearance of a slug.
1t feeds upon surface of the leaf,
eating only the soft tissues and
leaving the veins and the lower
membrane intact. Severely injur-
ed foliage curls up and later turns
brown. Injury from this insect can
be prevented by one or two appli-
cations of lead arsenate either as a
spray or dust.
Rose leafhoppers are small yell
lowish-green insects that suck the
sap from the undersurface of the
leaves. Their presence can be de-
tected by white speckled areas on
the upper leaf surface. If the plants
are sprayed with nicotine sulfate
when the injury. first appears and
while the insects are still small, the
injury can be prevented. realss
If both rose slngs and leafhop-
pers are present. they can be con-
trolled by combining the two. spray
materials. A spray containing
three level table-spoonfuls of lead
arsenate and III teaspoonfills OF
nicotine sulfate. to each gallon @of
water is used for this purpose

STATE LIBRARIAN RESIGNS

Paul T. Noon, of Columbus, has
resigned as state librarian, a posi-
tion he has held for nine years.
While he gave no reasons for quit
ting the $4,000 year post, he took
exceptions to statements concerning
the size of his travelling expenses.
Noon stated that he travelled in
connection with the state program
to aid local libraries. He stated
that in 1894 when he took office
only eight of the 88 counties in the
state had library systems, while to-
day 88 counties have such systems.
He says that his travels were large
ly connected with this state aid
program, that of organizing coun-
ty library systems and meeting
with county boards.
