SUMMER CABINS
ARE BURCLARIZED
One Is Completely
Cleaned of Furnishings

More burglaries were brought
to the attention of Sheriff H. S.
RooSa, last week, when Mrs.
Jessie Rowland reported her
cabin being burglarized sometime
during the two previous weeks.
Sheriff Roosa went out Thursday
morning to investigate and found
that the cabin had been cleared of
practically everything from beds
to fishing poles.
Another cabin on the L. B.
Robinson farm was also burglar
lied, but only two rollaway beds,
bedding, and silverware wer
taken. Both cabins, about " mile
from each other, are situated
along the Big Darby creek, two
miles from Plain City toward
Unionville Center.
The Rowland cabin had been
closed up since Mr.. Howland's s
death few years ago, and Mrs.
Rowland was checking the cabin
when she discovered the burg
larry. A lock on the front door had
been broken to gain entrance,
after which, a truck was evil
IDENTIFY backed up and practically
all movable goods removed from
the house.
Things listed by the sheriff as
being taken from the house in
clude, three single iron beds with
mattress and bedding, one 12-foot
golden oak dining table, a white
porcelain kitchen table, a gasoline
lantern, and oak kitchen cup
board, three yard chairs, small
medicine cabinet, blow torch,
kitchen utensils, silverware, force
spray pump and several pieces of
garden and yard equipment.
The Robinson cabin, rented by
a Columbus attorney, was broken
into in similar manner although
it was not burglarized as thor
oughly as the Rowland cabin.
Sheriff H. S. RooSa and the
sheriff of Delaware county went
to Logan Friday afternoon to
question some persons picked up
for a cabin burglary in Hooking
county. They were Walter Forley,
10, Vesta Forley, 81, Kenneth
Clayton, 81 and Joan Roach, from
whom nothing concerning local
county burlaries could be learned.
Reports of similar burglaries
have been received from Della
ware, Franklin, Fairfield and
Hooking counties.

FARM PRODUCE
PRICES UP 6 POINTS
OVEVR 1916 LEVEL
But Buying Power
of Farmers Dollar Keeps
His Net Income Down

Price rises for livestock, corn,
cotton, rice, and potatoes took
the level of prices farmers re-
ceived for their products in mid
July six points above the average
they were getting during the
first half of 1916. Prices of goods
which they bought remained at
the high point reached in June,
1947.
Rural economists at Ohio State
University say Ohio farmers in
July, 1947, had gained only 19
percent in purchasing power
over the level prevailing in 1910
IA. Farm product prices have
/, gone up 176 percent, as compared
with 1910l4, but costs of produc-
ton also have risen enough to
slow down the farmers net gain.
Farmers cash receipts on sales
for the first half of 1947 had
climbed q percent from the 1916
total for the same period, but
government production payments
decreased enough to hold the
gain in farm income to % percent
Taxes on farm land went up IL
percent in 1946 and reached the
highest point since 1881.
The continued rise in farm
prices widens the gap between
prevailing price levels and the
prices farmers would receive un-
! der the government price support
plan. Corn, on July Is, 1947, was
70 cents a bushel above parity
hogs were $8.79 a hundredweight
above, beef cattle were $9.12 {
hundredweight above parity, and
milk was SLOT a hundredweight
above the support level.
Economists expect the high
price level for farm products to
continue as long as city workmen
get well filled envelopes. Foreign
demand for agricultural products
is factor in the high prices but
only small fraction of the total
u. S. farm production is exported

HEART BALM ACTION
FILED IN COURT HERE

A $4,000 heart balm damage
suit - first brought in Union
county in many years-was filed
in the Common Pleas Court last
week, by William Clayton Smith
who claimed this amount from
Everett and Fondabelle Eddy for
mental and physical suffering
eaused him by the defendants.
The plaintiff claims that, since
Aug. 1, tn defendants, parents of
his wife, Ann Lou Eddy Smith,
who filed suit for divorce in the
middle of August, have ''continu-
ally used their power to wrongly
influence" their daughter against
the plaintiff. He states that their
influence is to such an extent that
he cannot see or speak with his
wife.
Also, they were responsible for
the plaintiffs wife signing an
affidavit charging him wi h
criminal assault on Aug. 8, caus-
ing him to be arrested and spend
the following night in Jail, he de-
clared. That case was dismissed
in favor of Smith at the prelimi-
nary hearing on Aug. 20.
Clifton L. Caryl is attorney for
Smith.
