Rototiller Has
Local Agent

Appointment of Johannsen Farm
Supplies, Port Clinton, as dealer for
its rotiller farm machine, was an
nounced today by Graham-Paige
Motors Corp.
Established four years ago by
Erwin and Harold Johannsen to sell
and service farm equipment, the
Port Clinton firm has assumed the
rototiller agency because of its
conviction the machine can prove
highly useful to growers Of the
area, according to Erwin Johann
sen.
"The ground here is exception
ally hard to work properly with
a plow," he explained, "but some
how the rototiller handles it with
out difficulty, a fact that We'll be
glad to demonstrate at any time
The sale soutloek is Exceptionally
good" he said, predicting there
would be steady demand.
A unique, multi-purpose farm
machine which plows, discs and
harrows in a single one-over opera
ton, leaving the seedbed ready for
immediate planting, the rototiller
has achieved nationwide popularity
since Graham-Paige began mass
producing them in 1916, Mr.. Jo-
hansen pointed out.
Instead of the conventional plow
share it utilizes rapidly rotating
steel tines, revolving in paddle
wheel fashion, to churn the soil
| into a seedbed.

LEGION NOTES
BY ARCHIE KING

Robert Petersen and David
krupp will represent Port Clinton
Post 11S at Boys State June 1922.
These two youths have been pick
ed as examples of good citizens.
They are to be congratulated
Capt. James PresSler reports the
local national guard company now
has an enrolment of twenty-slX
men. They started out with only
fourteen a few weeks ago. Some
one is doing a good job of recruit
ing and advertising. Stop in at
the armory some Tuesday evening
and watch the guardsmen drill.
Your visit will be warmly welcom-
ed . The recent Sunday cleo
tions in Italy received a good deal
of publicity. Voting is done on
Sunday in nearly every foreign
country. The hard pressed and
poorly paid laboring men of other
lands can't get to the polls during
the week as easily as we can here
in America Two Japanese
field guns have been shipped to
Post l13 to be placed in our
parks as souvenirs of the recent
war. Through the cooperation of
Stan Larsen they are being stored
at Standard Products until a base
is prepared for them. We appre-
ciate the neighborly spirit of Stan
and his fellow workers The
Put-in-Bay parade was a success
in every way. Did you notice that
four Legionnaires held a conspic-
uous place in the line of march
with the colors? 1t always seems
more like a real parade if some
veterans group carries the colors
|. Cochrane's Maiorettes are
meeting engagements in many
neighboring towns. They per-
formed for the County Council at
Marblehead last month and plan
to parade at the convention at Put
Inlay June 20. If you haven't
seen their act plan to do so soon
Legionnaires and other uniformed
groups who plan to participate in
the Memorial Day parade should
report at the high school building
at ten a. m., May 3. Remember,
we are observing Memorial Day
on Monday; some communities are
observing it on Sunday . An or
dnance reserve battalion may soon
be formed in this area. II
enough men show a definite inter
est the unit will be formed at once.
Interested men may check with
Carl Alamo or Eugene Bolte in
Port Clinton or Myron Rosentretel
! in Oak Harbor. This should be
done before June 3 We ex-
tend our sympathy to Arthur
Knudson on the death of his moth
er. Mrs. Knudson passed away

IHERE are some interesting
facts CLEANED from the book
let "Ohio, The Hub of the Ma
ticn," just released by the Ohio
Development and Publicity Com
mission: Ohio's population gain
since 1910 exceeds 100000. Now
the state has more than 100000
residents. Of the nations total
population, 73 per cent is concen-
trated within the busy 500-mile
radius of Ohio. Our state ranks
high in production of salt, silica,
coal, dolomites, ceramic clays
and gypsum. The annual output
of Ohio's stone quarries is val
ued higher than the nations an

Is that the green light may be even deadller
than the red. For when the green light is
turned on, defective brakes spell disaster. The
STOP sign is positive and imperative. The
decision is taken out. Of our hands; to prince
and pauper 1t commands HALT!' But when
the green light says GO, then within rather
wide limits we are on our own.
The green light reveals YOU. The spell of
the green light is the peril of mismanaged and
n1isused liberty. Liberty slides down the fatal
slope to license when there is no respect for
authority or no authority to respect.
In the remaining democracies of the world
many of the old taboos and restraints have
been cast aside hilariously in the name of the
new freedom as If there Is no longer any law
to be obeyed or authority to be reverenced. But
Edmund Burke uttered a fundamental precept
when he declared Liberty must always be
limited in order to be possessed"
The secret of mastery in any realm is to be
slave. To maintain political or economic free
dom is to limit the liberty to indulge in prac-
tices which sap individual or national strength.
How America needs this pungent truth in
this grim day! Said United States Senator

Extension of Local Rent Control

The hearings on extending District rent
control for another year will begin this
week. Rent control should be abandoned.
But the time for its abandonment is still
in the future. To abandon it now would
be to invite the chaos in the rental market
which made control necessary in the be-
ginning. It is to be hoped that the hear
ings will produce quick agreement on
necessary extension, with whatever modi-
fcations in control may be justified by
conditions.
The opportunity for quick agreement is
Increased by decision to hold joint hear
ings between House and Senate. The Star
notes with qualification the increasing
tendency to dispose of important local
legislation through joint hearings. They
are great timesaver. They lessen the
burden on the few members of Congress
who are charged with responsibility for
local legislation. And more often than
not, they produce better legislation than
results from the tedious and repetitious
process of separate proceedings on identical
measures.
No rent control act is perfect and many
property owners are restive under the
District law. Undoubtedly there are many
cases of injustice to landlords, whose costs
have net been subject to the same controls
that apply to rental revenue But until
the amount of new building produces some
normal balance as between supply and
demand, release of rent controls would
produce, more hardship than it would
relieve. The extension of control is
necessary evil.

Wasting Awuy Our Future

An old fisherman on the lower Potomac
told Star reporter that in all his fifty
nine years of fishing on the river he had
never seen anything like the record haul
OF rockash pictured in Fridays Star And
he predicted that no man living now
would ever see another one.
A sound prediction. To which may be
added another one: If Maryland and
Virginia do not put into effect conserva-
tion measures, designed to prevent just
such hauls, our children's children will
never see any rockfish
The record haul of 100 tons of rockfish
took place in the spawning season. A
