himself as a public confuser. His job
is to fix prices and to keep them
frozen. But each week-and some
times from day to day-the cost of
food clothing and other necessities of
life is mounting Mr.. Henderson may
show us statistics to prove that isn't
so. But we don't pay off butcher and
grocer bills with statistics. 1t takes
hard-earned cash. And that's a sub
ject which seems to interest Mr.. Hen
derson more than keeping prices down.
He is going up and down the country
warning that wage increases will
bring about imitation. 1t seems to us
that what Mr.. Henderson needs to
worry about more than anything else
right now is self-infation. That goes
for Mr.. Davis and Mr. McNutt, too.
1t is elimination which makes them
talk so much and so ridiculously.
One more item on the agenda of
administrative ineptitude. This con-
Germs the Presidents recommendation
for time-and-a overtime for gov
ernment employees, in lieu of wage in
creases. What do you think the gov
ernment big-wigs are doing about it?
They're trying to "gyp" the govern
ment employees by the sort of cheap
trick that they would be the first to
condemn if private employer at
tempted it. Government employees are
on an annual pay basis. In order to
figure overtime rates, it is first nee
essary to determine the regular hourly
rate of pay To do this, some govern
ment department heads are dividing
the years pay by $50 days, and then
by eight hours. That is equivalent to
saying that if a man makes $40
week for a fve-day week, his daily
pay is not So but $5.75, which would
be true if he worked seven days
week.
All of which reminds us that this
has been going on many years. On
June 25, 1868, Congress enacted an
eight-hour day for government work
ers. But almost year later, on May
10, 1869, President Grant was forced
to issue proclamation to prevent de-
partment heads from cutting wages
when they reduced hours. It's about
time we cut out that sort of addle-
pated administration of government.

FACING G.
THE
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

President Roosevelt has condemned
''loose talk" which he considers de-
structive to the nations war effort.
He warned that much of this talk
emanates from Washington.
We agree with the President fully.
In fact, we think he can and should
do something about it. For much of
the loosest talk that has come out of
the nations capital in recent weeks
has been spouted by some of his own
aides.
The outstanding, high-ranking Of
tenders have been Chairman William
H. Davis of the National War Labor
Board, Chairman Paul V. McNutt of
the War Manpower Commission, and
Leon Henderson, war price admins
traitor.
These gentlemen have freely en-
gagged in the process of thinking out
loud to the detriment of the entire
nations morale.
Now we are quite certain that these
officials mean well and are trying to
do a good job. But they seem to be
suffering from some inner compulsion
to talk through their hats every time
they get bright idea, without first
trying to find out what the score is.
The worst part of such loose talk
is that it shakes the confidence of the
people in their government. That is
the most dangerous thing that can
happen right now.
The Zero Boys
For instance, Mr.. Davis seemed to
take the Presidents message to Con-
gress on the stabilization of the cost
of living as mandate to issue hap
hazard verbal DEGREES on wage-freeZ-
ing. Day after day, we saw Mr.. Davis
quoted in the press as saying that
workers should not get any wage in
creases, that $25 week would be a
wartime wage limit and that employ
ers and their employees could not get
together on pay revisions without first
getting his consent. Now we doubt
that Mr.. Davis has been quoted and
interpreted with perfect accuracy, but
even making allowances for newspa-
per distortions, his statements add
up to zero. In fact, the National War
Labor Board itself was forced to rep
rimand Mr.. Davis and instruct him,
when the urge came upon him in the
future, to talk for himself and not for
the board.
Mr. McNutt, crowned with authority
over the manpower mobilization pro-
gram, also took his new powers to
mean lease on loose language. Thus,
we saw statement by spokesman
one day to the effect that all war
workers would be frozen" in their
present jobs for the duration. And the
next day we saw that statement re-
tracted and modified. And the next
day came a bold pronouncement from
Mr.. McNutt that the War Manpower
Commission would issue "Work or
Fight" order, but that there would be
no interference with the right to
strike. All these confusing and dis
turbing statements were made without
consulting organized labor, as Mr..
McNutt had agreed to do before for
mulating any definite policies. And
after the verbal blitzkrieg was all
over, no one knew any more than be-
fore it happened just what the gov
ernment's policy meant.

C0l0red Clothes Need
Extra Wartime Care
BY RUTH BARNES
County Home Demonstration Agent

Here's a tip about saving color in
summer clothes. Colors are a lot
faster nowadays than they once were
but let's watch that new material
we buy. It is apt not to be guar
anteed fast colors. But just the
same many a pretty dress loses its
looks every summer because of too
much sunshine or wrong washing.
Textile scientists say never to soak
colored clothes unless you're dead
sure that the color is entirely fast.
And they say when you wash colored
clothes to wash as fast as you can
and to use mild soap and no strong
washing powder unless clothes are SO
awfully dirty you just have to.
Of course, you know that colored
garments-that includes your hus-
bands socks and colored shirts-all
colored garments should hang in the
shade to dry.
And did you know that you car
save color often by hanging them te
dry wrong side out, and taking then
indoors when they're just dry enough
to iron?
Well, these are little ways-just
little ways to save what you have
to make 'em last long and give yor
good service during this emergency
The right care counts so much or

Original Lime Is Lost
From Ohio Crop Land

Hungry tongues of plant roots, the
constant tapping of water, travelling
downward through the soil, and
other factors connected with Ohio
crop production in the past rs years
have depleted the original store of
lime in the surface soil even in
northwestern Ohio where large de-
posits of limestone still remain un-
derground for quarrying.
E. H. Bond, agricultural agent,
Napoleon, tells Henry county farm
ers that legumes must have lime and
that corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye,
cabbage, tomatoes, and sugar beets
produce larger yields on soils where
lime has been applied. Lime in
creases the effect fertilizers have in
helping crop yields.
Mr.. Bond points out that all soils
should be tested before lime is ap-
piled because there is some cropland
that does not need this plant food
and soil conditioner. However, he
declares that, although grandpa may
be right in saying that his farm
never needed lime, the lime so plen-
tiful then probably is gone now, and
grandson must do his farming under
present conditions.
The agricultural agent says that
any one of the three forms of lime:
limestone, quick or burned lime, and
hydrated lime, is efficient for pre-
pairing soil for growing clover and
alfalfa but ground limestone usually
is much more economical to use
Nearby sources make limestone plen-
tiful enough SO it sells for about
S110 a ton in Henry county. Costs
will be higher in places where the
lime has to be shipped or trucked
long distances.
