generals are now looking after
themselves, either quitting or max
ing deals with the enemy.
Even those who have been the
most ardent advocates of adequate
support for the Nationalist troops
now believe that the Chang regime
is lost and that at best it may only
be able to wage a local campaign
south of the Yantgze River.
Such a campaign would have no
effect, however, on the major issues
which confront us in the Far East,
and it would be sad mistake,
which we can i'll afford these days,
to deplete further our stockpiles
when there is an insistent demand
for arms and ammunition in Europe.

Taken for Granted.
All the first things I wanted, you
will notice, are things that every
American takes for granted. I would
like to tell you that we Americans
are living in a country which is the
only country where the simplest
things are available to every citizen
no matter his station in life.
You may or may not know this
but the United States is the only
country in the world where a man
can drink water-any water that
flows out of tap or flows into a
tub or comes out of a spigot.
Once you leave the United States
water becomes a precious article
not because it is scarce, but because
this blessed country is the only one
that has seen to it that any water
available is fit for drinking. 1t
sounds like a little thing, I know,
but to us to always read, This

bewildering thing.

Far East-in fact, all over the
world.
When I walked down the streets
of San Francisco today and saw
department stores filled with warm
and well ll-made clothes. grocery and
delicatessen stores loaded with all
the food any one would ever want,
the streets filled with automobiles. I
wondered why this could be seen
only in America.
The rest of the world had a head
start on us. Not a little head start,
mind you, but great big one that
can only be measured in years and
years. Could it be that americans
are the elect people of the earth?
No, I don't feel that any more than
you do. So, as I walked about this,
perhaps the loveliest city in Amer
lea, tried, with my trip around the
world as a background. to determine
why the United States is so different
from the rest of the world.
Comes to Conclusion.
Eventually reached a conclusion.
I am not at all sure that it is right
but it is the best 7 could do, and
this is why think the rest of the
world looks toward us for every
thing:
This is the only country in the
world where people really work. This
is the only country in the world
where there are no such things as
siestas, four-hour lunch periods,
and where it is a standard practice
for man to 60 to work at
and work until with only an
hour off for lunch. Ours is the
only country, as far as I can see,
where bare existence isn't accepted
as enough.

turing us as a mechanical nation.
But the Old World forgets to re-
member that nobody gave us the
skyscrapers, nobody shipped us the
telephones. nobody mailed us the
rich, ripe fields of Kansas, Iowa and
our farmlandS. We have those
things because men worked for
those things.
In conclusion, would like to drop
hint to Washington that no mat

Men Face Grand
Larceny Count
Request Made For
Separate Hearings

At a special hearing on Satur-
day, Mamma McCreary, Zack Hill
lard, and Emmett Watson, all of
the ByeSville community were ar
raigned and all three entered a
plea of not guilty to a grand lar
ceny charge which has grown out
of the alleged butchering of a
baby beef last October, belonging
to r. M. Secrest of the Seneca
vile community.
At the hearing each man asked
for a separate trial and was
granted. this request Emmett
Watson, the oldest of the trio, will
be tried on a grand larceny
charge on Tuesday, June 8. Time
for the trial of the other two men
has not yet been set.
The charge of grand larceny
rather than petty larcency, was
made when it was established
that the value of the calf was in
the neighborhood of $4,000. The
calf was allegedly butchered in
a field on the Secrest farm and
the carcass removed in a truck
belonging to one of the three
ByeSville men.

Believe Lighted
Cigarette Caused
Disastrous Blaze

A fire which broke out FRI
day evening about $50 in the
Noble l. ives took Auction
barns, in Florence, following
the Friday afternoon sale,
caused damage estimated at
100000 according to Theo-
dore Timmons, of Batesville,
owner of the auction.
1t is thought that the fire
was started by cigarette
which had been dropped dur
ing the sale, Friday afternoon.
The fire was discovered by John
Milligan who lives nearby. Mr..
Milligan first noticed smoke
pouring from the upper section
of the bleachers surrounding the
auction ring. The Caldwell fire
department was called and man
aged to save the pens and scales
although the fire scorched the
scales badly. According to mem
bers of the department they were
handicapped by the lack of an
adequate water supply.
The sale barns, build in June
of 1916 by Joe Secrest had be-
come a leading enterprise in
Noble county agricultural circles
and offered much needed means
for marketing livestock from this
section. According to Mr.. Tim
mons and his co-partner, Lester
Weekley, no plans for rebuilding
have been formulated as yet. 1t
is understood that an adjuster
from the insurance company was
here on Monday and that he was
assisted by local contractors in
estimating the loss. Mr.. Timmons
stated that all Friday sales would
be suspended until further notice.
Although the fire was reported
before it had gained much head
way, the blaze spread rapidly and
soon consumed the main building.
The pens were not damaged by
the fire.
The usual Friday afternoon
sale had been held at the barns
and all the animals moved out
except two pigs They were not
injured by the fire, according to
the owners.
The volunteer firemen did a
heroic job in saving part of the
Noble auction buildings, being
hampered by the lack of water.
An adjacent we'll was soon ex-
hausted and it was during this
lull that the fire gained headWay.
The blaze was not only costly
but spectacular and attracted
several hundred people from
nearby communities.
It is the first big fire to have
occurred in this community since
the $4,000 fire truck was pur-
chased by the village council,
through a bond issue voted by
property owners.

Bridge At Dexter
To Be Repaired
And Strengthened

Maintenance, crews from the
state highway department swung
into their annual weed moving
campaign this week and the
brightly painted yellow trac-
tors of the department will be
seen on the various state roads
throughout the county, clipping

According to officials at the

bridge and replace the bridge
buttments. All heavy traffic has
been suspended and the bridge
will be closed to all traffic when
work on the bridge begins.
Two other projects are under
way by the department with pill
ings being driven to hold the slip
on route 78 and located on Perry
opolis hill, just east of Caldwell.
Stone is also being spread on
route IA in both Noble and Mon
roe counties starting at Carlisle
and continuing past the Elk Fork
pump station into Monroe county
A new supply of highway de-
partment road maps have been
received at the state garage and
any motorist can get one by SIM
ply asking for it at the state gar

offers several features that will
aid the average motorist in tour

publican executive committee
and Herman Starr will serve in
this capacity for the Democratic
executive committee, following
their reorganizational meetings
held last week.
1t was expected that the Re
publican meeting, Thursday eve
ming, would be highlighted by
dissention and friction but such
was not the case and harmony
prevailed throughout. This was
clear indication that the pro-
Stiles faction in Noble county had
completely lost out in the May

was selected to head the commit
tee for the coming year. J. S.
Archer was named treasurer. F
R. House will serve as secretary

chairman of the central commit
tee and Clarence Moore will serve
as secretary.
Members of the Republican ex-
cutive committee are as follows:
Earl Courtney, Delbert Shackle,
Dean Raney, J. S. Archer, w. O.
Rossiter, H. c. Stewart, Jack
Oliver, Wilbert Hardesty, Ben
Boley, F. R. House, Howard De
voll and Richard Smith.
Harmony likewise prevailed
during the Saturday meeting OF
the Democratic committeeman
and Starr was put in as chairman
on the first vote. Carl E. Fowler
Spruce street, will serve as sec
retary and treasurer.
Members of the Democratic ex-
ecutive committee are Ed Schell
Virgil Watson, Clarence Noll, Ed,
gar Douglas, who is retiring as
chairman, Eugene Ward, Okey
Caldwell, Andy Still, Herman
Starr, Herman Harper, Clyde
Teeters, Emmett Yoho, Clarence
Foreman and Charles CALDWELL
Both committees will establish
headquarters in Caldwell anc
are already preparing for the
November campaign.
Due to the friction in the Re
publican party, the Democrat
are confident they will place sew
eral of their candidates in thu
courthouse this fall.
