Cleve was appointed Dayton's first
postmaster. The little log cabin
then was a combination block-house,
schooihouse and postoffice. In 1904
he opened another and better post
office in a log cabin on the southeast
corner of First and st. Clair Streets
and used the old cabin as a
residence. Van Cleve served until
his death in 1921.
In 1904 people as far north of
Dayton as Lake Erie and Fort
Wayne, Indiana, had to come to the
little postoffice for their mail. 1t
was on the mail route from Cincin-
natl to Detroit and the mail was
carried by a post rider who passed
through every two weeks.
Weekly Mail Service
A weekly mail service soon was
established, its route through Gin
cinnati and Lebanon, then Xenia and
Springfield to Urbana, then down
the Miami River to Dayton, Frank
lin, Middletown, Hamilton and back
to Cincinnati. A letter from Dayton
to Franklin or any other town on
the route first had to go to Cincin-
natl and then back around the cir
cult to it's destination.
No stamps were used but the
amount of postage due was written
on the outside of the letter. Postage
usually was collect" Postage was
usually 25 cents a letter and the
recipient had to dig up the cash or
mo letter." That rule was made
after postmasters, who often let
mail go out on credit, found that
people did not pay their bills prompt
ly--if at all. t
In 1916 the rates We're fixed on
mileage basis: Six cents for 36
miles; 10 cents for 80 miles; over
$50 miles, 1874 cents and over 400
miles 25 cents. Newspapers, any
where within the state where they
were printed, were one cent each.
The first carrier on that first mail
route was William Olin, son-in-law
of Abner Dunn, first postmaster at
Cincinnati, and carried the mail in
saddle-bags At Cincinnati, then a
log cabin town with but two frame
buildings and a few log stores,
Dunn's postoffice was at the corner
of Second and Butler Streets.

officials emphasized the need for
proper farm storage of corn held

Meanwhile farmers faced with a
lack of acceptable storage space, are
hustling to provide suitable build
ings, for many evidences point to
slumping prices for newly harvested
corn on the open market. The situa-
tion has boosted farm storage capa-

Farm work in the nation on July
was being done with 100000 fewer
workers than were on the job on the
same date in 1947. The decrease
was almost entirely in family work
ers, as the number of hired workers
was practically the same for 1948 as
for 1947. Wage rates for farm
workers were the highest on July l
ever reported. The average for the
U. S. was $5.40 day without board.
Owners of 500-bird laying flocks
can save carrying about 10000

Eggs contain over 60 per cent water,

at its maximum rate unless the hens
have a constant supply of clean
water. Some labor saving poultry
house equipment is described in a

tons of lime to get it ready for clover

of an average of 7,545 soil samples
analyzed at Ohio State University

A Dutch uthor-newspaperman
who "feels like Columbus discover
ing new world" during two months
of travel in "this land Of contradic-
tions," told a small Washington
audience yesterday afternoon about
his impressions Of America.
He was A. de Doolaard, author OF
Roll Back the Seas" around whom
18 persons of several nationalities
circled in the lounge of the Inter-
national Student House, 1925 r
street NV.
Aside from what he called, "fas-
cism" In the South, what has
amazed this modern Columbus most
is the length and abundance OF
cigarettes. In native Holland 1t takes
three or four butts" to make one OF
our average-sized smokes.

| to see an acre In one area produce
five times as much grain as in an
area unbenefited by the iva pro-
gram.
In Birmingham he encountered
segregation when he was criticized
for drinking at a Negro bar with
a Negro college professor. That ex-
perience led him to express the hope
that some day all the freedoms
will exist throughout the United
States"
Mr.. Doolaard discussed the Euro
pean attitude toward the Marshall
Plan as one with which Americans
must exercise patience and under
standing. The bitterness and suf-
fering derived from five years OF
Nal occupation make it hard fol
the average European to have nor
NAL attitudes, he explained, and
difficult for him to understand the
real background of the Marshall
Plan.

In Ending Confusion
Over Pricing Policies
~ ,he Associoted Press


Senator Capehart, Republican, OF
Indiana has asked the Federal
Trade Commission to help "end the
confusion" over business pricing
policies
His Office said yesterday he wrote
to Chairman Robert E. Freer on
November "a asking the FTC TO
meet with the Senate Trade Policies
Committee for q joint effort IN
solving the pricing policies"
The Senate committee, headed by
Senator Capehart, has been hearing
testimony on the effects of the Su-
preme Court decision last spring
outlawins the cement industry's
basing point price system.
Senator Capehart told Mr.. Freer
he felt the Senate committee should
have the views Of the FTC chair
man on pricing policies.
The high court ruled the cement
industry's pricing system was q
conspiracy in restraint Of trade.
The industry delivered cement at
uniform prices, including freight,
regardless of the buyers distance
from a basing or sales point.
Businessmen have testified before
the Senate committee that the rul-
ing throws doubt on all pricing sys-
TENS In which q manufacturer pays
all or part of the freight costs In
selling his products. They have
asked Congress to give them the
legal right to pay part or all the
freight costs In meeting compet-
ton.
The FTC opposes any move by
Congress to legslise o pricing sys-
tenn. Walter B. Wooden, FTC coun-
sci, charged that many business
men In fact were making an at
tempt to weaken the Nations anti
trust laws.
The Senate committee will resume
its hearings tomorrow. Witnesses
during the week will discuss the ef-
fects Of the FTC pricing policy on
Army and Navy procurement, In
vestment securities, the paper in
dustry, the railroads, and other
segments Of industry.
To date, the witnesses all have
favored q legalized pricing system
which would permit paying freight
costs. The only opposition has come
from the FTC.

Is percent or more above that in
the present season. More sows and
gifts may be held for fall narrowing
than farmers expected at the time
of the June pig survey.
Both spring and fall pig crops are
likely to be carried to heavy weights,
which will add to pork and lard ton
mage. Since the hog-corn price ratio
is likely to be quite profitable dur
ing the fall breeding season, a ma
terial increase in the 1949 spring pig
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-08-01

crop is probable. Also, more fall
pigs probably will be raised in 1949
than this year.
Demand prospects are much more
difficult to fathom than the supply
outlook. 1t is generally expected,
however, that the European recov-
cry plan, rearmament expenditures,
construction of new plants and inn
provements by business firms, and
the remaining large backlog of de-
mand for housing, autos and other
durable goods probably will keep
the economy running full tilt during
most of the next year.
Short Summer Supply
Owing to the shortage of old corn
and holding spring pigs to use new
corn, the hog supply probably will
be quite small and prices are likely
to continue extremely high in late
summer this year. The autumn price
decline is likely to start somewhat
later than usual. But, with an in
creased share of the crop held until
after January l, 1949, the spring rise
in prices may be somewhat subdued.
Then, with an increased spring pig
crop in 1949, and a tendency to mar
ket early, prices in the short supply
period in the late summer of 1949
probably will not reach such ex-
IRENE levels as this year.
If the 1913 corn crop fulfills its
present promise of about a third
more than last year, corn prices
probably will be near the loan value
for the 1913 crop or a third less than
the average in the past IL months.
Currently, the price for corn for de-
livery next December at Chicago is
about a third below the Chicago
average cash price in the last year.
If feed costs are down one-third
and hog prices remain lear the past
seasons average, the hog-corn ratio
will average about Is compared with
less imam IL IN the past year.
If demand conditions should turn
distinctly unfavorable, and h o G
prices should decline sharply, gov
eminent support of 90 percent of
parity is assured until the end of
1949. Currently, 80 percent of parity
would NEAR an average of about
$3.50 per 100 pounds at the farm.
A substantially increased pig crop
next year, resulting from the larger
corn crop and more profitable hog
corn ratio, will start to market in
the early fall of 1949. The hog sup
ply will then begin a cyclical in
crease and prices will begin a cy.
c1ical decline which will continue {
year or two until the hog-corn ratio
becomes unattractive and leads pro
ducers to cut down the pig crol
once more.
