Crops For Canning In
'54 Bring S. Million

Production of vegetables for
canning returned almost Sc mil
lion last year to Ohio farmers.
This cash income resulted from
the harvesting in the state of more
than 443 million pounds of vege-
tables for sale to professors" ex-
planned F. G. Richards, Ohio rep
resentative of the American Can
Company.
He said that Ohio is an impor-
tant producer of such processing
vegetables as lima beans, cabbage,
sweet corn, cucumbers, green
peas and tomatoes. The state last
year planted more than % thous-
and acres to these and other vege-
tables for the processing industry,

Committee Sure
Of $500 As Goal

Nor rain, nor snow, nor dead
of night shall keep them from
their appointed rounds" The
postman's motto might well have
been applied to the census-takers
who braved Saturdays weather to
count the noses in the village.
while results are not yet Of
ficially tabulated, we feel sure the
count will surpass the required
2500 for the installation of the
home mail delivery service in the
near future" said Miss Lucille
Boyd. chairman of the Civic I'M
provement Committee. 1T remains
now for all business places and
residents to display their assigned
street number on their building, "
Miss Boyd said.
If you are Not sure of your as
signed number, check with the Of
flee of the village clerk, Mr.. Rob-
ert Recob. Oother sources which
have access to street numbers are
the light office and the gas office.
The Improvement Committee
wishes to thank all residents for
their cooperation in the census,
and particularly to thank the fol-
lowing willing workers who help
ed do the counting; Mrs. Dorothy

Ci+r..s Fruit Is
Good Food Buy In
Next Two Months

Plenty of high quality fresh cit
rus fruit is available on Ohio food
markets now.
Mrs. Helen Buck, Home DEM
onstration Agent in Madison
County says, that January and
February mark the season of
greatest supply, widest variety,
and best quality of the citrus fruit
crop. Grapefruit, oranges and tan
gerines are lead items in most
food stores. Since the 1855 citrus
fruit crop is expected to be con-
siderably larger than last year,
prices are exceptionally low.
Mrs. Buck calls attention of
homemakers to the fact that cit
rus fruit is one of the best sour
ces of vitamin c, and because this
vitamin cannot be stored in the
human body, it must be replen-
ished daily Citrus fruit provides
an easy way to do this, she says.
1t can be served as fruit at any
meal and it combines we'll with
other fruits and vegetables for at
tractive salads or deserts.
A chilled half grapefruit or a
glass of fresh orange juice is an
excellent morning "eye opener"
and a quick source of energy for
the day Why not try one of them
for your breakfast tomorrow?
Eggs store best at 40 to 55 de-
grees temperatures and rs per-
cent relative humidity.

f:a l<dISl Esq.,
:NS WILSON HARDER

In order to encourage dissern-
ination of news Congress pro-
vided for low cost second class
mail. But interpretations of this
Congressional intent have so en-
panded, any publication, even n
devoted to fiction, s'true" con-
fession, Hollywood gossip, or
similar content can go second
class mail. The result Is more
than 500 magazines flood second
class mail which shows q deficit
of almost $3.50 million per year.
Congressional testimony shows
only four magazines account for
$40 million yearly loss, thus total
for all the more than 500 maga-
zines reaches staggering total.
4
But simple solution to this
problem was worked out years
ago by most cities, counties and
states in regulating where legal
advertising should be placed.
Legal advertising can only be
placed in newspapers Of general
circulation in the area. Thus
legal advertising by government
subdivisions must be placed In
newspapers which are published
to serve all the public, and not
just special groups such as
true" confession fans.
Thus, by using same yardstick
used by local government to de-
termine eligibility of publications
to carry legal advertising, post
office could, if permitted by law,
restrict use of second class mail
to bona fide newspapers of gen.
eral circulation, and thus wipe
out major portion, or all, Of
present operating deficit.
However, these are the simple,
business like solutions that busi-
nessmen would apply to prob
lens of similar nature. There Is
no doubt that the very practical
minded and efficient career
postal authorities could WI Ne out
their losses in a fair manner
without increase in rates, If per-
mitted to do SO by law. But the
business like way, and the gov
ernment way, is often far apa4t.

Late Conventions
Slow Absent Vote

Secretary of State Ted w.
Brown today expressed fear that
the contemplated delaying of the
Republican and Democratic nat
ional conventions until late Aug
ust or early September would re-
suit in many members of the
armed forces and civilians outside
the continental United States los
ing their vote. II make this state
ment without engaging in any ar
gument as to the merit or demer-
it of a shorter Presidential cam
paign', Brown said, because the
change so seriously affects the
time element involved in getting
ballots to and from these service
men and women and others located
in far away posts.
He said that members of the
Legislative Committee of the Ohio
Association of Election Officials,
who have just completed a two
day session in his office, gave
much consideration to the matter
and that they share his view.
Secretary of State Brown points
out that Ohio is one of only about
20 states that meets the social
ed desirable" standards for arm
ed service voting. Two years ago,
at his suggestion and upon rec
ommendation of the Legislative
Committee, the General Assembly
revised the law to permit ballots
to be mailed to civilians outside
the continental United States 60
days prior to the election instead
of 30 days.
Ohio law provides that the Sec
retary of State shall prescribe the
ballots IS days prior to the elect
ion and requires Boards of Elect
ions to nave ballots available for
members of the armed forces and
civilians outside the continental
United States 60 days prior to the
election. Holding of national con-
ventions at later dates would have
the effect of multiplying these adj
vantages in the Ohio laws, Brown
said.

DC ~ W.
well documented audited testi-
mony. Postmaster General Ar
thur Summerfield has shown how
first class mail makes annual
profit of S105 million. But this
prof. and much more is alb
sorbed in losses incurred on Sec
ond, third and fourth class mail.
Yet it is proposed to raise rates
on first class, as well as money
losing second, third class mail.
Yet, without raising already
profitable first class rates, q
major part Of deficit could be
wiped out by simple means.
An example is third class mail
accounting for over $3.50 million
annual loss. 1t was never in
tended government should get
into business of distributing adj
vertising. Yet any big national
combine seeking to drive out
regional manufacturers or pack
ers can flood any area with
coupons addressed to House
holder" and government is OBJ
liged to deliver them at cheap
rates. A simple law adjustment
requiring all mail to carry the
specific name of an addressee
would go a long way toward
damming this leak.

Farmers Credit
Is Big Business

Financing the nations agricul-
ture is large widespread and
growing responsibility. At one
time or another, this responsible
ity has touched upon the personal
lives of nearly every citizen,
whether as farmer, as lender, or
as taxpayer. Channeling credit to
farmers engages the services of
nearly 1900 commercial banks,
more than two dozen insurance
companies and well over 5000 To-
cal offices of publicly-financed or
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS lending ag-
gencies. In addition, it is estima-
ted that individuals, merchants
and other miscellaneous creditors
advanced over one-third of the
farm credit in use. And, from time
to time, the clamor arises from
various sources for further expan-
sion in available farm-credit fa-
cilities, according to Business
Trends" a publication of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Cleve-
land.
Although not a direct lender to
farmers, the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn was established in part to help
remedy problems affecting the
availability of bank credit to
farmers. Regulating the supply,
availability and cost of money, not
only to agriculture but to the en-
tire business community, is still
the principal purpose of the in
stitution.
To appreciate the importance of
sound and adequate financing of
agriculture, the basic food and fl
Der industry, it is necessary only
to consider the fixed nature of the
farm land supply and the increas-
ing reliance upon chronological de-
velopments to boost the output
from such acreage. Compared with
1910, the acreage of land under
cultivation is nearly the same, but
these acres must now support an
additional 81 million or nearly one
fourth more people.
Over the years since 1910,
farmers annual cash expenditures
for chemicals, insecticides, process
sed feeds and other current items
associated with chronological de-
velopment have risen from $41a
billion to S1415 billion; their ex-
penditures for new capital goods
such as tractors, combines and hay
balers have risen from S11a billion
to S5R billion. Farm output has
thereby been boosted by slightly
more than one-fourth. 1t is doubt
full if this challenge could have
been met without the liberal use
Of credit.

Beauty Hints
BY NINA TEMPLE
NINA TEMPLE


Observe the difference in the
carriage of the women you
meet. See the woman whose
limbs swing from the hip
joints freely and gracefully.
Note the charm of her gait.
Eyes follow her very grace
full walk. She may not be bea-
utiful but she walks in beauty
and does not move unnoticed
on the avenue. On the other
hand, note the woman who
leans forward from the hip
joints, bends board-like at the
knee. Such a walk is wooden,
ungraceful, detracting. After
marking your own walk in
the mirror, be certain to cor
rect your gait, if necessary.
Use oils, massage, and exer-
else until you have acquired
the swinging stride of pace
that resembles the graceful
movement of a thoroughbred.

Tapped at the top making the
mirror of two pieces.
Many of these appear in the
Queen Anne styles. The
frames of mirrors are the
most important feature to no.
tice for they were made at
different periods to compile
ment the furniture styles of
the times.
On EARLY wall mirrors, prac-
tically all carvings used as
concentrations were done
right on the wooden frames
but on later models, from the
Georgian period on, the deco
rations were made of plaster,
strung on wire and thus at
tached on the frames. Mr..
Chippendale, the illustrious
cabinet-maker, produced some
elegant mirrors, the decora-
tons having a decided Chin
csc influence.
He combined miniature pa
godaS with Oriental figures,
adding carved mouldings as
a finish. Other mirrors were
as attractive; the so-called
Constitution mirrors have al
ways been popular; they had
a broken arch with a flying
eagle and carved plaster gar
lands in a gilt at the sides.
Empire period mirrors came
in by 1900, with paintings of
popular subjects on them. Gil
randoles date from the 1770's
and are still being made.
Some have branches to hold
candles at each side and their
frames are generally made OF
gilt.
