In connection with the Veter-

plants early in the season.
Under the supervision of Ellison

PUTS IN TOBACCO

Don Ayers, prominent farmer
and businessman of the Mt. Olive
section Of Horny county, put IN
a barn of tobacco last Saturday.
This is the first tobacco that has
been put in in this section, so
far as is known, this season.
Most tobacco has just been set
and the news of Ayers early
cropping was met with much sur
prise by most people hearing the
report this week. The market
will not open for about two
months yet and most farmers do
not expect to start for several

MINIATURE AUTO
COMPETITION

Detroit = An expanded
program for young model
builders, with added emphasis
on the designing and building
of miniature automobiles, was
announced by the Fisher Body
Craftsman's Guild for 1913.
The Guild, now in it's 18th
year, will devote the 1913 pro-
gram entirely to creation of
what youths of today believe
a motor car should be. Here
tofore youths have had a
choice between building a
model car or a Napoleonic
coach.
T. P. Archer, vice president
of General Motors and presi-
dent of the Guild, announced
that a total of $4,000 in
awards will be offered to
youths throughout the nation
who build the best model cars.
This includes eight university
scholarships for national Win
ners and 686 awards for state
winners. In addition there will
be 40 trips to the National
Guild Convention for regional
winners. Competition again
will be in two age classified
tions, II through Is and 16
through 10, with identical
awards in each.

CHANCE FOR STATEHOOD

Honolulu - Hawaii's bust
nessmen have practical eye
turned on the territory's hopes
for statehood-and they like
what they see.
These men don't expect
cash registers would jingle
any louder the instant the
forty-ninth star appeared in
the flag. But if statehood is
granted, big industry and lit
tie business will feel much
more secure in this ''paradise
of the Pacific"
A bill to admit Hawaii into
the union as state passed the
House last year and is now
pending before a Senate pub
lie lands subcommittee. The
G.. O. P. and the Democrats
are both pledged to the idea,
but there's no certainty the
lawmakers will get around to
putting the measure on the
statute books at the next ses-
sion of Congress. Hawaiians
voted more than two to one
for statehood in 1910 plebes-
cite but the war delayed &C.
ton.
Island businessmen point
out three major helps they ex-
pect from statehood:
1. It's a matter of simple
business arithmetic. The poll
teal protection to industry
especially sugar and pineap-
ples-of four votes in Congress
is clearly superior to Hawaii's
present one delegate without
a vote.
2. Statehood would cut
most of the annoying red tape
and confusion that island
businessmen sometimes en-
counter when they import
goods, ranging from pocket
combs to bulldozers.
8. Present and future gen
erations of mainland business
men will know a lot more
about Hawaii if it takes it's
place in history books and on
sales maps as an integral part
of the nation.

Wartime Price Measures Will Not

near Pomeroy in ITO. Some Ohio
maps made in 1888 show coal fields
on them. 4 mine was opened on the
Ohio River in 1909 to supply coal to
the growing river steamer traffic. In
1925 the first canal boatload Of Ohio
coal was sent from Briar Hill, near
Youngstown, to Cleveland to fuel
Great Lakes steamers.
More Pomeroy mines were opened
in 1882 and that year 1000 bushels
of coal were shipped down the Ohio
River. The operation grew until it
had a fleet of 25 boats and force
of 200 men, one years shipment to-
falling 100000 tons.
Pomeroy Coal Shipping Center
Until 1850 Pomeroy was the only
Ohio town sending coal down the O.
hio and Mississippi rivers. However,
by 1887 the mines along the Hooking
River were producing 100000 tons
of coal year.
Mines in the Mahoning Valley
were opened in 1916. Most coal from
there went by canal boat to Cleve-
land to provide fuel for Great Lakes
steamers.
1t was from a canal boat handling
coal from Briar Hill to Cleveland
that James A. Garfield, then Is, was
thrown into the water when the boat
upset. He had a job driving tow
mule, and though a "canal boater,
could not swim. After the ducking
he quit the job and got another

on eggs if Stegall Act prices had
prevailed in November, 1916. But
terfat prices would have been 29
cents a pound less under government
price supports.
Economists point out that prices
for farm products under the Stegall
Act are affected by prices for goods
farmers buy. The Act guarantees
30 per cent of parity which means
that, if prices for manufactured pro-
ducts drop, the prices for farm pro-
ducts also can go lower than the
level used in figuring the price diff
ferentials for November, 1916.

Declaration by President Truman
that the end of the war removed
need for some emergency measures
on January /, 1947, indicates that
wartime price control supports for
farm products will end two years
after Congress passes resolutions to
make the Presidents declaration ap-
ply to all war measures.
The Stegall Act which provides
support prices for most important
farm products guarantees support
prices for two years after the close
of the war. Probably, there viii be
some arguments whether the war
ended with the Presidents declara-
tion or with the concurring resolu-
tion of Congress, but Ohio farmers
are advised to have as little need of
artificial price levels as possible.
