Veterans Debts
To Be Deducted
From Insurance
Payment Will Be
Made By VA In
January, 10 5 @

The Veterans Administration
today told veterans who owe the
government money on certain
benefits that all or part will be
deducted from next years big in
surance dividend.
Veterans affected will be those
who were overpaid on subsis-
tence allowances while taking
educational courses under the
CT bill. Also those who were ov-
erpajd on pensions, other VA
benefits and defaults on loans
made good by the VA.
The VA estimates that some
100000 veterans presently owe
the agency about $4,000, ,000
The VA thought it would collect
between $20,000,000 and $30,000,-
900 through deductions from the
national service life insurance
dividends.
The VA is scheduled to begin
paying off 800,000,0O0 about
Jan. Is to 100000 veterans.
The kitty" is being cut up be-
cause veterans paid too high pre-
miums on the national service
life insurance.
The bulk of the $70,000,00
owed the VA, the agency said,
represents overpayments on sub
sistence allowances to GIs TAX
ing educational courses.
The VA said that a consider
able number of veterans are re-
paying this indebtedness by de-
ductions made from monthly
checks now received from the
VA.
The VA added that the veter-
ans who owe it money are aware
that their Indebtedness is de-
ductible from other VA pay
ments to which they are entitled.

Summer Months
We're Hot : Dry
In Noble County
Only 4.53 Inches
Of Rainfall I'm
Past Three Months

Noble county farmers have
reason for growing about the
weather and the protracted dry
spelP', according to Frank Bur-
lingame, of Sharon, official
weather man for this district.
In the past three months or
since July 81, only 4.53 inches of
rain have fallen in this county.
Burlingame pointed out that
this was considerably less than
during the month of July, when
Noble county had 6.37 inches of
rain recorded.
The official U. S. government
weather station head said it
isn't any wonder that cisterns
are dry and farmers find it nee
essary to carry water to their
cattle.
This is strictly below normal,
as there should have been at
least ten inches of rain during
the three month period.
During the month of October,
high temperature reading was
90 degrees and low, 27 degrees.
This was the first recorded kill
ing frost, although there had
been others in the lowlands in
this county.
October had l.48 inches of rain
and only 37 of an inch in any "a
hours.
There were ten cloudy, seven
partly cloudy and IA clear days
in the month
There is every indication that
Noble county will have a cold
winter, according to Burlingame,
who predicts some mighty snap
py weather for November.

cumbed to the heart attack.
Mayor Secrest first took
office in 1914 and was can
didate to succeed himself at the
election next Tuesday. M. c.
Johns is the other candidate.
In addition to his duties as
mayor, Secrest also served as
justice of the peace for Olive
township.
He was born in 1877, a son of
the late Clark and Elizabeth Ra-
cey Secrest, on the farm home
between Belle Valley and Sar-
ahsville. He spent several years
in Guernsey county, where he
served as deputy clerk of courts
for a number of years. He was
also foreman of the steel mill in
Cambridge. In very early life,
he taught school.
Mayor Secrest had been in his
usual health and was waging an
active campaign for reelection
when he was stricken Monday
He married Mae Burlingame,
who died a number of years ago.
There were three children born
to this union, including Gordon
Secrest, who was killed in a
truck accident ten years ago, and
Ina Clair, who died several years
ago. Dean Secrest, of Canton, is
the only surviving son and he
was with his father at the hos
pital when death occurred.
Surviving, in addition to the
son, are a brother and sister,
Charles Secrest, of Montana, and
Laura Secrest Craft, of Brilliant.
Edna Secrest, of Columbus, is a
half-sister.
The body was removed to the
Murphy funeral home in Cald-
we'll and prepared for burial.
Services remain incomplete.
L. E. Potts, president of the
village council, automatically be-
comes acting mayor for Caldwell.
Election board officials were
to contact the secretary of state
today to determine what course
to pursue in the coming election,
Tuesday.
II is believed that the name of
Sam Secrest will be covered and
if his committee so desires, they
can select a new candidate and
his name will appear on the bal
lot.
1t is not yet known what final
action will be taken but the de-
cision will be made by the sec
retary of state, Columbus.

Belle Valley, Buffalo, Center,
Elk, Fulda, Jackson, Middleburg,
Sharon, Stock, Summerfield and
Wayne districts are all voting on
renewals of existing levies. BeaV-
er is voting renewal of three
mills with an additional one
mill. Dexter City is voting on a
renewal of three mills and an
additional three mills. However,
the total tax rate in the Dexter
City district will be reduced five
and one-half mills, since the
eight and one-half mills for
bonds will expire this year.
In order for the above districts
to participate in state funds
which are essential for their op-
Grafton, they must pass levies
above the 10-mill limitation. If
any of these levies should fail to
pass on next Tuesday, it would
mean that the district would
either be required to hold spec
ial election or lose the assistance
of state funds, without which the
school could not operate.
''The passing of the levy in
each district is necessary for the
continued operation of the
school to meet state standards, 1"
Supt. Secrest said. Il am sure
that each one of you desires to
see your school continue to serve
your children and community to
the best of its ability"
Supt. Secrest concluded with
this appeal: Vote for the school
levy in your district on his COM

The fact that 30 complex an agreement
could be successfully negotiated between
SO many nations, each with its own special
interest and viewpoint, and basically
divided between buyers and sellers, Is an
encouraging portent. 1t has led the expert
staff Of the U. N. Food and Agriculture
Organization to study the feasibility of
similar agreements covering other i'm
portant commodities, such an cotton, coarse
grains tcorn, oats, etc.. soybeans and
other agricultural products The argu-
ment for such extension is that nothing
Is more desirable than predictable price

World Wheat Agreement

Overwhelming approval of the Inter
national Wheat Agreement by the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee foreshadows
speedy ratification. Thereby, major step
will have been taken toward bringing into
full force the pact negotiated here In
Washington last March by the representa-
tives of forty-two countries. The aim is
to allocate the worlds wheat In such
way as to assure steady supply to i'm
porting countries and afford assured
markets for exporting lands at price rates
equitable to buyers and sellers alike.
The agreement is to run for five-year
period, setting up great managed annual
pool of 456, 900 bushels of wheat. The
ceiling price starts at $1.s0 per bushel,
dropping by ten-cent intervals to $1.20 for
the crop-year 1882 It is understood that
transactions beyond the contractual
quotas are not affected in any way. But
these quotas are deemed sufficient to
stabilize the world wheat market and make
possible planned production and organized
marketing on global scale.
The benefit to be derived by the United
States from this agreement has Just been

United States quota of 5000, 600 bushels
should do much to avert output restriction
of q drastic kind. We are one of the
Big Three among wheat producers, the
others being Canada and Australia. There
are thirty-seven consumer countries who
are signatories to the pact, Great Britain
standing head and shoulders above the
others, its purchase quota of l77,000000
bushels constituting more than one-third
of the total contractual world demand.

General "stonewall" Jackson achieved the

Mcdowell and Jackson also were involved

war terminated then, the Confederacy
would have been the winner.
But the Manassas Museum commemo-
rates something more important than two

national force. The latest devices for the
exposition of military technique have been
developed on the scene so that visitors
may study not only the veritable ground
upon which the engagements took place
but the objectives. the purposes and the
tactical operations Of the rival captains.
This naturally attracts soldiers of our own

educational exhibition illuminating to the

Operating on Dr.. Fiishbein

For many years DIR. Morris FiShbein
has been the unofficial but highly vocal
spokesman for organized medicine in
America. He made of the Journal of the
American Medical Association and It's
allied publications, of which he is editor,
a forum that attracted wide and intelli-
gent audience throughout the world. Full

forceful expression, he had become some

In putting tight muzzle on DR.. Fish

torializing. the AMAs Board of Trustees
evidently has in mind less personalized
policy for the future and one that will
find more formal expression by elected
spokesmen of the association than In the
past. That may be wise step In public
relations, for DR.. Fishbein's own uncom-
promising attitude has tended TO plaster
the medical association with label of
unyielding reaction that in these days Is
something less than realistic.
The silencing of DR.. Fishbein, however,
and preparations for his retirement as
editor of ANA publications, probably carry
no loss of respect, on the part of the
doctors, for a man whose skilled pen has
