Griffiths Will
Not Seek Office

P. w. Griffiths, of Marietta,
announced today that he is not
a candidate for the Republican
nomination for congressman
from the 18th Ohio district.
The Mariettan, after serving
three years in Congress, was de-
.feated in the last election by
Robert T. Secrest, Democratic in
cumbent, who is again seeking
the nomination and office.
Griffiths said today that he
based his decision not to run
again on the grounds that he had
already been honored by the of
flee and that others should be
given the chance to seek the
post.
He made no formal statement
other than that he is not a can
didate.
Attorney Holland Gary, of
GAINESVILLE, has been endorsed

Employers Must
File Tax Return

Some 10000 employers subject
to the Ohio Unemployment
Compensation Law must file
their tax reports and make their
tax payments for the fourth
quarter of 1949 before midnight,
Tuesday, Jan. 81, the Bureau of
Unemployment Compe n t i o n
warned today.
The BUG pointed out that both
tax payments and reports must
be postmarked Jan. 81 or earlier
to avoid penalties imposed by the
Ohio Law. The law provides for:
l. A penalty of 10 percent of
the tax amount due for each
quarterly report filed after the
due date, with a minimum
charge of $500 and a maximum
charge of $500.
2. An interest charge of six
percent per year of the tax
amount due for failure to pay the
tax on time. Each fraction of a
month will be figured a full
month in computing the period
for which interest is being
charged.
Generally speaking, employers
covered by the Ohio Unemploy-
ment Compensation Law are
those employing three or more
workers on one day. Exceptions
include those employing domest-
ic, governmental, agricultural
and educational workers.
Nearly 10000 of the states
employers are subject to both
the Federal Unemployment Tax
Act and the Ohio Unemployment
Compensation Law. Those max
ing all payments due the state
for the year 1949 by Jan. 81,
1850, will receive a 90 percent
tax credit against their federal
liability. Any such employer
making payments to Ohio after
January 81 will lbe subject to a
federal penalty for the late pay
ment.

Early Hatched
Chicks In 80

Don't let current slumps in
egg prices discourage you about
ordering chicks this spring.
This is the word from d. ID.
Meyer, extension specialist in
poultry at Ohio State University,
who says that a high perform
ance - resulting from mild
weather rather than from too
many laying hens-brought eggs
prices down during january.
Actually, throughout the ma
tion there are less than five per-
cent more laying hens than a
year ago, and here in Ohio, only
about three percent more.
Meyer believes it will be inn
portant for poultry raisers to
start their chicks earlier this
year. This will get pullets in pro-
duction at a high rate of lay by
August and means two months
of high production before egg
prices start declining.
He points out that many pro-
ducers are figuring that egg
prices will follow the same pat
tern next fall as in 1949. As re-
suit, they are starting January
and February chicks.
AS most poultry raisers in
Ohio get their income from sell
ing eggs, Meyer urges them to
buy chicks from flocks carefully
selected and mated to produc-
tion-bred males. He cautions
against buying colorfully adver-
tised chicks being offered at re-
diculously low prices.
Ohio hatcheries, operating un-
der the National Poultry I'M
provement Plan, he says, are in
a good position to provide poul-
try raisers with baby chicks from
high producing, pullorum-tested
flocks.

HERE & THERE

HERE & THERE - Thursday,
Feb. 2, grounding day, will be
another weather prediction, ac-
cording to an old tradition. We
hear so much about it. The
grounding sees his shadow we
will have six weeks of winter
although scarcely any winter has
been had so far this year. On
January &c, a large fat ground
hog was caught in trap in a
corn field of Raymond Poling's.
Polling states it was the fattest
whistling pig he ever saw al
though this is a winter month
and the fellow is supposed to be
in hiding.
Emma Rose Sutherland was
very startled Saturday evening
when she noticed a striped skunk
playing out in the yard Of their
/ home near Fredericksdale. The
| kitty seemed to be satisfied and
no perfume was offered.
Fannie Dye was a recent Wis
itor at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy Mclaughlin at Olive.
Harry Sutherland visited on
Sunday with his sister, Mr.. and

Polling and wife were Mr.. and

Earl Sutherland and Steve
Clark were callers at Caldwell,
| Saturday.
A few days ago a wind storm
or rain storm passed by the Hill
Top service store owned and
operated by our happy-g o-lucky
Ray Stottsberry. Ray relates the
storm lasted only short time
although our ridge runner be-
came frihgtened and ran all the
way home. He returned the next
day looking for a shoe he lost
during his excitement. R. S. and
Harden Everly report severe
head colds from the breeze.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. A. Polling
spent Wednesday with his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Phillip Polling
at Byesville.
No electric disturbances were
had during the storm although
the Hill Toppers are going to be
on the alert in case of another
storm. Sutherland and Polling
hope to be near the next time in
case they can aid in case an en-
ergency arises.

Warner, is very busy these days

Land Values
Shift Lower
During 1949

Dollar values of farm land in
the United States, though still
about double the 1859 aver
age, continued to decline during
the four months ending Novem-
Der |.
This report from the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics, U. S.
Department of Agriculture, says
moderate declines occurred in
all but five states. No increases
were reported. Land values for
the county as a whole are three
percent below July and six per-
cent below the high peak reach
ed a year ago.
Largest decline since July
were in the Pacific states, where
values were down six percent,
and in the East South Central
states, where values were down
five percent. In Ohio, there was
a decrease of two percent during
the four-month period.
Number of farms changing
hands continues to decline. Dur
ing the peak year of farm sales,
l946-47, So out of every 1000
farms changed hands. In 1947-48
the rate dropped to 40 per 1000.
During the year ending March,
1949, only Al farms. per thousand
were sold.
Prices asked for land tend to
continue high and buyers are in
clined to delay purchases, hoping
for bigger declines in asking
prices than have yet occurred.

No Tog At All Would Be Better

No. A. thousand times no! Don't
change the automobile license plates for
the District from the present ID. c." to
the spelled-out words. The complaint
in recent letters to The Star has been
that SO many people in the vast hinter-
land do not know what the %. c."
on the license plate Of a tourist car
means. Why should they?
AS a rule, the less strangers know
about tourist the better. Highjackers
probably prefer seizing car so far
away from home that the driver would
not be missed for many days.
Another good reason for using only
I'd. c." is the small size of the license
plate. The small tag now in use saves
metal and makes more room on the car
for other attachments. To spell out
Washington, District of Columbia" on
the Tag would require one twice as
long as the one now in use.
If any District tourists wish to flourish
before the eyes of wicked strangers
what had better be kept under cover,
a placard can be carried above or below
the license plate. telling in large letters
that the driver lives in the National
Capital on the Potomac and other de-
tails. But permit the rest of us to be
less conspicuous and safer.
George Frederick Miller.
