metropolitan Without officially being designated
So it the capital of the country long before the
American Revolution. 1t the financial and commercial
capital of the colonies In this capacity important for
Phladephans to famiarze themselves with the

America Philadelphia catered to Georgia and Massachu-
sets and went to great pains to remain very good

long before the Revolution that those members of
the various colonies meeting in Philadelphia felt that they
meeting not a neutral, but friendly ground.
Thus Philadelphia became the neutral place for consuta-
tons during stormy times.
where long debates held preceding the
Declaration of Independence here where the Declaration
of independence written and signed Here where the
war that followed financed and directed Here is
where the early presidents of republic lived and ad
mnstered the Here is where the long debate
was held which brought forth American Constitution,

No Food Shortage
Seen For 1855

Food supplies will be plentiful in
1855. That's the word from the ag-
riculture departments economic
forecasters.
Mr.. John Moore, Agricultural
Extension Agent in Madison Coun-
ty, says that barring unfavorablc
weather, we may expect Total food
supplies at record levels, with re-
tail food prices averaging about
the same or slightly lower than in
1854.
Mrs. Helen Buck, Home Agent in
Madison County says that home
makers will make their food dollar
go further in 1855, by making in
telligent purchases of quality foods
in the season of greatest supply.
Mrs. Buck calls attention to Jan
uary Egg Month" as an example.
During this month, and continuing
we'll into the early summer, high
quality eggs will be in abundance
at attractive price. Large sized
eggs will present the best buy III
most cases.
Citrus fruits, including lemons,
oranges, grapefruit and tangerines
will be plentiful during the first
quarter of the year They are a
good source of Viamin C-the Wit
amin which cannot be stored in
the human body and therefore
must be replenished daily.
Other foods representing espec-
tally good buys now, include brus-
sells sprouts, lettuce, cabbage and
its counterpart sauerkraut. Pork,
fish and broilers or fryers, will
highlight the displays at your
grocer's meat counter during JAN
uary.
The wide variety and abundance
of food for '55 is indicative of the
willingness of American farmers
to produce and market increasing
food supplies for growing nation

Bulk Tank Use Up
By Ohio Dairymen

More than $50 Ohio dairymen
are using bulk cooling and storage
tanks on their farms according to
Frank Koval, Ohio State Univers-
ity extension dairy technologist.
Most of these are 300-gallon
tanks and the average shipment is
1850 pounds of milk every other
day. Practically all bulk tank
farms are on every other day pick
up, says Koval.
Most plants receiving bulk tank
milk report lower bacteria count
than on other milk received in the
plant. Koval says experience show
that good quality milk can be pro-
duced with bulk tanks.
Three-hundred gallon ia n k S
ready for installation, cost from
$18OO-$240O. Koval says prices
range from $1,000 for SO-gallon
tanks to $4,000 for 700-gallon
tanks. Dairymen need tank that
will hold their herds milk for at
least five milkings for every other
day pickup.
Farmers who have bulk tanks
like the convenience and time saw
ed by this equipment.
When dairy plants can convert
to 100 percent bulk tank pickup
they can eliminate their can re.

"Ohio's share in the cost of the
1856 budget" Mr.. Wolfe pointed
out, remains at a high level as
compared with the post World
War II low year in fiscal 1948, but
is considerably below the total for
fiscal 1854 and much less than in
fiscal 1853, the highest year of
peace time spending in our his
tory"
Federal expenditures rose from
S33.1 billion in fiscal 1948 to a
peace time peak of S74.3 billion in
fiscal 1853, then dropped to $67.8
billion in fiscal 1854, and are now
estimated at $63.5 billion for the
current fiscal 1855.
Net budget receipts for fiscal
1856 estimated at $500 billion
muI be almost 50 pei cent higher
than the SAILS billion total in fiscal
194S Recent expirations and re-
ductions are reflected in the de-
crease from the all-time high of
S64.8 billion in budget receipts in
fiscal 1853 and $64.7 billion in
fiscal 1854. Receipts in the cur
rent fiscal year are now estimated
at $500 billion.
The estimated deficit of S24 bill
lion for the fiscal year 1856 which
begins next July l compares fav-
orably with fiscal 1853, when the
deficit was almost S9.5 billion The
Federal government wound up the
last fiscal year 1954) with a def
cit of $50 billion, and deficit of
$4.5 billion is expected in the cur
rent year.
These trends toward lower
spending, lower taxes, and smaller
deficits represent encouraging pro-
gress," Mr.. Wolfe declared, but
the level of taxation remains OPP
pressive, and there is little cause
for satisfaction in the continuance
of annual deficits. Further spend
ing cuts are necessary, and no eff
fort should be spared to achieve a
balanced budget in the coming fis-
cal year.
THE estimate of a gross public
debt of $276 billion at the end of
fiscal 1856 points up another ex-
tremely disturbing feature of the
fiscal situation. The citizens OF
Ohio should not view with COM
placency the possibility of a furth-
er increase in the statutory debt
limit, which was temporarily rails
ed above the S275 billion maximum
in the last session of Congress.

Annalist."
November sales of Ohio retail
ers were / per cent lower than in
the corresponding month of last

off from October, although only
fractionally. The October-to-No-
vember drop was less than the 4
per cent decrease usually expert
enced between these two months.
On a seasonally adjusted basis,
the trend was up slightly in No

cent. This was followed by drops
of 10 per cent in florists sales, II
per cent in jewelry stores sales,
and 9 per cent in furniture stores
sales.
Among the various business cat
egorieS, there were seven Novem-
ber-to-November sales gains. These
were: women's stores, up 4 per
cent; lumber dealers, up 3 per
cent; department stores, mems
stores, and furniture stores, up 2
per cent; drug stores, up / per cent
and family clothing stores, with a
fractional increase.
Declines from November last
year ranged from a 10 per cent
drop in florists sales to a / per
cent drop in food e. jewelry sales.
Retail sales for 1854 to date in
the eight largest cities in Ohio, ac-
cording to preliminary figures,
ranged from 13 per cent de-
crease from 1853 in Youngstown to
a fractional increase in Columbus.
City by city, the percentage COM
parsons for November, 1854,
against November, 1858, and for
the first II months of 1854 against
1853 were:

EiIIiard Council
Hopes To Get Rid
Of All Livestock

Members of the Hilliard village
council recently passed an ordin-
ance which they hope will enable
them to drive all the livestock out
OF town and back to the farm
where it belongs.
The new ordinance will prohibit
the harboring of COWS, horses, pigs
and other livestock within the vii
lage limits. 1t was pointed ont that
this new law applies to any and all
portions of land smaller than five
acres.
The town of Hilliard is growing
SO fast that it is necessary to con-
troll the livestock as the town ex.
pands and reaches out for new
residential additions. Since the
construction of numerous new
homes it is essential. that living
conditions be improved in accord
ance with State Board of Health
code.

Strike Record In
'54 Leaves Room
For Improvement

Ohio's strike record for 1854
was considerably better than the
previous years and the post
World War II average, state In
dustrial Relations Director Mar
garet A. Mahoney announced to-
day.
Preliminary 1854 work stoppage
figures released by the director
showed 260 stoppages beginning
during the year. These involved
100000 workers and resulted in
100000 mand-dayS C idleness.
The 260 strike We've half the
number in 1858. However. idle
moss dropped only about 20 per-
cent, indicating that 1854 strikes
averaged slightly longer than
those in 1853.
Chief contributors to the sharp
drop in number of strikes were
the construction and steel indus
tries.
Ohio's loss in working time due
to strikes was less than half the
average annual loss since World
War II, Miss Mahoney said. The
1854 idelness amounted to five
hours for each Ohio worker.
There were II strikes during
the year which involved 1000 or
more workers. Largest was a. the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. in
Akron and st. Marys. 1t involved
about $1,000 workers an6 contri-
buted over one-fourth C the to-
tai idlercss for re stat.
The Goodyear strike also helped
make Akron record o. Iulcuess
highest of the eight major cities
Akron alone accounted for about
one-third of the states idleness.
Dayton had the least idleness
among the eight major cities fol
the third straight year.

He lead Beanie into a dining

was banana pie, big as a wagon
wheel. and a tub Of ice cream
sitting on the table.
Beanie ate until his eyes were
popping. but when he tried to
stagger from the table the dwarf
pulled him back. You asked for
it," he said. You must finish it.
Beanie ate until finally he had
finished every bit.
Then the dwarf said. "You
may leave the table now but
don't worry. every meal at Gin
me House will be like this"
Beanie felt sick and lay down
in a corner to sleep. After q
while the dwarf woke him.
Tell me some toy you would
like" he said. II want you to
have everything your heart de-

Beanie really didn't want any

So Beanie stood at the table
and batted the ball back and

CHAPTER Is
All a Bow Could Want

The dwarf ran down the street.
Behind him ran Beanie. Behind
Beanie ran the Dumdiddy.
BY and by the dwarf came to
a big black house with a big
black door. He went through
the door and Beanie ran through
the door, but when the Dunn
diddy reached the house the
door was slammed shut and the
Dumdiddy was left outside.
The Dumdiddy saw a sign on
the door which said, "The Gim-
me House for Gimme Children.
The Dumdiddy's face turned
white and his knees shook. He
thought, I've saved Beanie from
a redheaded robber and I've
saved him from a witch and I've
saved him from an ogre. but I
can't save him from the Gimme
House"
He sank down on the steps
and two little tears rolled down
his cheek.
i've done the best ! could"
he moaned, but this is prob
lem too big for a poor Dunn
diddy like me-"
Suddenly he leaped to his feet.
All get Santa" he cried. Santa
will know what to do"
And he dried his tears and
ran away.
Beanie Shivered
Meanwhile. Beanie stood in
the hall of the big black house.
"Who are the Gimme Chill
dren?" he asked the dwarf. And
why do they call it the Gimme
House,"
Gimme Children are children
who are always saying Gimme"
said the dwarf. They never want
to give or share. They always
want to get. Whenever I find a
child like that I bring him to-
GIMME House and every time
he says Gimme then I give
him"
This sounded like a great life
but, just the same, when he
heard it a strange shiver ran
down Beanie's back. But he
laughed and said, We'll. as al
starter. why don't you gimme
a banana pie as big as a wheel
and a tub of ice cream to go
on top"
Certainly" said the dwarf.
