NOBLE COUNTY IN 1915

The year 1948 has been prosperous for Noble county
Crops have been large especially and the prices

tendency prices go down but they go long

least another two years.
Countless numbers of young have purchased trucks

will not into the effect this strip mining has the land
Noble county for it expected that Governoreect Frank
j. Lausche will insist that something be done about it. This

Farmers fast becoming educated to the best way
of preserving their SOIL not only through the office of Agent
Henderson but also the soil conservation office headed by
James I. Steiner.
Now and with the years come much has been done
to repair the ruthless farming Methods employed by gen
to realize what they harvested from the land at the
expense of their capital investment and the future
Business in the county seat has been good the past

"FAITH OF A CHILD"

Of all the beauty upon the earth
Of trees and flowers coming forth
None is so beautiful as the truth
When inStilled in the heart of child.
Of the stories written in letters of gold
Is the Gospel story tho ever SO old
Will bring forth fruit, we are told
When written in the mind of a child.
The Gospel story is the best one given
The one sent down to us from heaven
Oh give us faith on which we may lean
Yes the faith as the faith of a child
Of all the love we hold most dear
Will give you and I, the best of cheer
Of all the treasures both far and near
Is found in the love of little child.
The great teacher plants his seed
But so many do not see the need
And the one that hears and will heed
He finds in the life of a child.
Of all the seed that is in the ground
None is planted in so great mound
No spot on earth can place be found
None more rich than the heart of child.
Of all the innocence we love
Or the cooling Of the dove
None cheers the heart of the Saviour above
AS the innocence of little child.

Not A Pleasant Outlook

trolls at the border, it is better
that we, rather than the Ameri-
cans, should administer them for
then we can, at least, be sure that
they will be taken off when their
purpose has been served"
So, there you have the pleasant
spectacle Of the Canadian govern
ment beating us to the punch,
by its taking necessary action
to remedy a situation which it
realized was unfair to the tax
payers of the United States.
This incident definitely proves
that nations can amicably settle
their differences if they have the
will and the spirit to do so. 1t
is hoped that this lesson in good
international relations will come
to the attention of every member
of the United Nations.
And now that Canada volun-
tarily has shut off the flow of her
surplus potatoes to this country,
what does she propose to do with
that surplus? She has guaranteed
to Canadian potato growers that
next spring she will buy what
ever potatoeos are left over after
the winter. Canadian taxpayers
will take over where U. S. tax
payers left off.
And, at what conclusion does
Toronto Saturday Night arrive
regarding all this? 1t hits the nail
squarely on the head in the final
paragraph of its editorial, which
reads as follows:
What has happened to pota-
toes may well happen in one form
or another to any farm product
This is what price support and
floor prices get us in for as the
world food supply gradually
climbs back to normal and as
farm prices fall back into a more
normal relation with other prices
1t is not a pleasant outlook"

Beaming out of very dark
potato situation, Ozark, that is,
for U. S. taxpayers), there is one
bright ray of sunshine.
After permitting Canada to
ship seven million bushels of po-
tatoes to this country during this
current year, while purchasing g
million bushels of potatoes from
our own American potato-groW-
ers, our government awoke from
its coma or whatever it was that
allied it. 1t suddenly realized the
absurdity of spending American
taxpayers money to take Cana
da's surplus potatoes off her
hands-at a very fancy price.
So, having tumbled at long last
to the folly of supporting potato
prices in both Canada and the
United States, word was passed
along to the Canadian authorities
that Uncle Sam would be forced
to cut off this flood of un-needed
potatoes into the United States.
And, here's the bright ray OF
sunshine in the dark potato pic
ture. Toronto Saturday Night, in
it's. issue of December 4, 1948, car
ried an editorial entitled "Hot
Potatoes" in which it said in
part,
"In the United States, the
heavy crop has pushed prices
down to the floor set by congress
Prices fell here, too, but were
cushioned by exports to the
United States, where, in effect
Canadian potatoes came to rest
on the American flood. This, ma
turally, did not suit the U. S
authorities who were paying out
U. S. taxpayers money to sup
port Canadian prices.
"The flow from this country
had to be stopped and reluctant
ly Ottawa undertook the job. II

WISE . or
OTHERWisE ffH b
BY E. o. BOND

The troubled conscience is an
indication that we are in touch
with God
No two persons in this world
are just alike-and both of them
are glad of it.
An aim in life is the only for
tune worth the finding.
The heart prompts many a
good deed which the head vetoes.
Skill is the ability to do right
the first time.
Only faith in yourself will
compel others to have faith in
you.
If you want your neighbor to
know what Christ will do for him
let him see what he has done
for you.
The new testament is concealed
in the old. The old testament is
revealed in the new.
When one man is more than
another, it is because he does
more than the other.
Drinking prevents thinking,
someday we hope thinking will
prevent drinking.
Read the Bible to be wise, be-
lieve and obey it to be safe.
Anger begins with folly, and
ends with repentance.
An injury forgiven is better
than an injury revenged.
A spur in the head is worth
two in the heel.
AS the old cock crows, the
young cock learns.
AS soon as man is born he
begins to die.
All wish to live long, but not
to be called old.
As we meet upon the level,
may we part upon the square.
