generally has been defeat, frus-
tratien and humiliation. Israel of
old was an example. So long as
the leaders sought divine guild
ance, things went we'll. When
they became a la wunto them

dreams and schemes, they suf-
fered and with them multitude
Of innocent people.
The pages of history are re-
plete with countless examples of
miserable failures and untold
suffering for innocent helpless
people when national leaders
forget God and relegated Chris
tian principles. This was true
centuries ago and it is still true
today. A few unscrupulous lead
ers following their own way that
bring heartache and suffering to
millions of citizens. Man succeeds
beast. Man rules beast. Man
legislateS beast when he seeks
the guidance of God in all things.
90 The final statement of
Uncle Sam Stille is very apt and
in full accord with history. He
says God has way of calling a
halt and unseating the small fry,
who think they can do things
better than God.
Men can arrogantly set them
selves up a little god and super
men, recognizing only their own
divinity. They can thwart the
public will, but history reveals
that they always have their day,
and then cease to be-"
Hitler tried this way. He posed
as the superman and for while
he rode high but he was unseat-
and came to a shameful end.
Mussolini, likewise tried the
way o fthe superman. He, too,
/ rode high for a while, but he
came to an ignominious death at
the hand of some of his own
countrymen. These men had no
regard for God nor the general
good of mankind but were in
toxicated only with their own
Importance in the scheme of
things, lost their empires and
ceased to be.
1t has ever been that way
through the centuries. 1t will
continue that way to the end.
This is the verdice of history.
Can it be that leaders are too
dumb to read the handwriting
on the wall? There is a way that
seemeth right unto a men but
the way therein is the way of
death.

Surprisingly the administra-
tion military aid bill went
through the house without much
fuss or the heavy slashing which
had been anticipated. However,
with the new Republican charges
of utter failure" of the admin
stration foreign policy in the Mac
Arthur minority" report, it is
expected that some fireworks
will result when debate opens
in the senate.
The senate joint armed serv-
ices and foreign relations COM
mittee which had made the Mac
Arthur investigation had voted
not to file a report, to just let
the matter drop since most every
word of testimony except some
very secret military matters had
been made public and the Ameri-
can people had a chance to make
up their own minds. But some
of the COP members saw a
chance to make some political
hay, so they got up the report
which made public criticising the
President and the administration
foreign policy as result of the
Macarthur custer.
Senator Wayne Morse of Ore
gon however, refused to sign
the COP document, declaring the
President was justified in firing
Macarthur and, as a matter of
fact, it was the Presidents duty
to do so. Also Senator Leverett
Saltonstall of Massachusetts,
sought to pour oil over the
troubled waters, although he was
one of the signers of the docu-
ment. But it appeared the Ad-
ministration may take up the
challenge and make an issue of
the Macarthur affair, since that
is what the COP apparently
seeks. So we may be hearing
more and more about Macarthur
as he appeared headed for base
ball commissioner or some other
such post.
A furry of flood control bills
and some increasing sentiment
in favor of the Missouri valley
authority follows in the wake of
the recent floods in Missouri and
Kansas. General Lewis A. Pick,
of the army engineers, although
working to put through what is
known as the Pick plan, has
come in for some criticism by
members of a house public works
sub committee. Congressman
Clare Magee of Missouri, a men,
ber of the committee, has openly
charged private power company
influence is manifest against the
MVA proposal and some farm

is still in favor of single agency

of interest to people of Elk town

Noble county are as follows:

therefore, his great-uncle, who
did much toward establishing,
along with Uncle Bill Morrison,

Elk township such as John N.
Vanfossen, Elk postoffice, farm

Stafford, manufacturers of WOOL

goods. These wooden mills were
located in Elk township, near
Stafford, Monroe county on a
branch of Flag Run, now often
referred to as Factory "Holler,"
of Factory Run. The writer
remembers having seen the tall
brick chimney standing near the
boyhood home of haywood Love,
one of the present members of
the Board of Commissioners of
Noble county. He also remem-
berS when HarriettSville was
situated almost entirely in the
bottom" land, or flat area along
the east fork of Duck Creek.
There was a Front street, a
Greene street and one or two
cross streets. In July, 1918, this
flat area of Harriettsville was al
most completely washed out by
a flood. Cow pastures and corn
field now occupy most of this
old portion east of the creek and
those persons who still wished to
live in the village moved further
up onto the hillside or built new
homes on the west side of the
creek.
This writer also remembers
when Harriettsville was a great
wholesale center for gathering
tobacco from the farmers of the
community. He has "set" it, hoed
it, and stripped it from the
stocks, leaf by leaf, as we'll as

Sam Stille, which was deeply

arrived at are akin to these like

of people in our land today.

that:
CD With such an array of
Senators affiliated with various
Churches, that we have a right to
expect something fine and con-
crete in legislative way. Know
ing what the Church stands for
and with Senators giving tenta-
tive allegiance to the principles
of Christ, it should not be un-
reasonable to expect legislation,
which reflects the spirit of
Christianity.
However this high expectation
is not always realized, for all
legislation is by no means, fine,
constructive, nor even represen-
tative of all the people.
All too frequently legislation
represents pressure groups,
special interests, and the general
good is neglected.
When Senators of both parties
approach their task as a sacred
trust not only from the people,
but from God, and forthrightly
stand by Christian ideals and
principles, legislation will tend
to be fair, just representative OF
all people.
A genuine Christian approach
can produce legislation of the
highest order.
When, however, the sacred
teust is forgotten, too often un-
wise and unjust legislation gets
into the hopper and goes
through. In this event, it would
seem that there has been a be-

Control Moisture
Under Houses

The crawl space under a base
mentless house is a good place for
moisture to collect. This is some
times causes deterioration of sills,
joists and flOors-and metal-if the
house is over moist soil and not
protected, points out by Sussex
County agent, VIM. H. Henderson.
Recent USDA studies show that
decay from this condensation can
be prevented by q)covering the
soil ~ good cross ventilation. A
cover laid under a test house eight
years ago is still good.
Both soil covering and wall ven
tilators in the crawl space are not
necessary. Tests show that the soil
cover alone prevents decay. Ventil-
alton also works, but causes cold
floors in the house.
To decide whether your house
needs attention, go into the crawl
space and look for moisture on the
inside surface Of the north headers
or sills. Moist wood shows a need
for soil cover or more ventilation.
The recommended soil cover is as
phalt roofing 55 lbs. per roOl of 1O8
square feet, Tapped 2 inches, no
fastening, no cementing, and only
little leveling of the ground. Cost
is about 3 cents a square foot.

Farmers Are Warned
Against Treated" Milk

When milk from mastitis treated
quarters is included in the herd
supply, enough of the drug may be
present to cause problems in the
manufacture and sale of dairy
products. So reports E. S. Biddle
of the Delaware State Board OF
Agriculture.
The failure of dairymen to keep
milk from treated quarters from
markets may have far reaching ef-
feet on consumers. Continued use
of drug-treated milk may sensitize
certain people, thereby destroying
the value Of the drugs for them in
case Of serious illness.
Writing on this subject in the
Michigan Agricultural Experiment
Station Bulletin, DR.. c. S. Bryan
of the Michigan Veterinary College
states that penicillin and other
drugs used for mastitis treatment
in dairy cows must be kept out OF
market milk. To do this, every
dairyman should discard milk from
treated quarters, regardless OF
physical appearance of the milk
for at least three days following
treatment
Since healthful dairy products
play an important part in the daily
diet of American people, particul-
arly children, good sanitary milk
ing and herd management are ba-
sic to the production Of high quail
ty milk. High quality milk il basic
to good national health, concluded
Biddle.
