Committees Annual Report
$50 Attend And
Elect Officers

Committee Banquet and Annual
Meeting, according to Robert

tee.

Columbus Producers, reported on
the past years lamb pool opera
ton. He said that a total of 1896
sheep and lambs had been mark
eted thru II pools, at the Lon
don Producer Stock Yards.
Paul GetZ, manager of Ohio
Wool Growers, reported on the
wool program for 1855 and 1856
He said farmers should be sure
to turn their sale receipts of wool
and lambs sold during the past
year into the local ASC Office
for the incentive payment. He
said similar program is set up
for 1856. The Ohio Wool Grow
ers will be able to add on to the
advance appropriation what the
incentive payment would be in
1856 for wool. This will eliminate
the red tape for the farmer plus
being able to get the farmers
money to him nearly year
sooner.

Mr.. ADVERTISER! A

There's an old saying in the
trade that town is only as
good as its newspaper. While
we do not claim that we have
reached the ultimate in news
papering, we do feel that our
community is the most import
ant one in the world. We live
here, work here and raise our
children here. We LIKE our
community.
This same feeling goes for
our local businessmen who
make up our clients and we try
to help them in every way we
can. That is the reason that we
strive to keep local merchan-
disc before our residents. We
think that what is good for
Madison county Is good for US
all. That is why we work so
hard to promote LOCAL bus
mess. Why shouldn't we ?--it is
the local businessman who pays
taxes for our schools and sup
ports our churches as we'll as
many other local institutions. 1t
is for this reason alone that we
do NOT encourage advertising
from out-of-town merchants.
We think that local prices and
local merchandise to be as good
or better than anything that
can be found outside.
We like the small local mer-
chant and we know him by his
first name so why shouldn't we
buy from him and why should
MT he advertise with US?

mind were the homebound

'Horry's in Town.

Everything about former President
Truman'S arrival in preconvention Chi
cago sounded pleasantly familiar to
Washington readers. His brisk stride, his
own obvious pleasure at being in the
middle of things and his rubbing of the
reporters at a crowded press conference
are all well-known trademarks of our
former neighbor at 1900 Pennsylvania
avenue. 1t is proper, too, that a large and
friendly crowd was on hand to meet Mr..
Truman at the railroad station and that
the news correspondents apparently en-
joyed their reunion with him as much as
he did, For, as a former President, Mr.
Truman is entitled to this honor and
popularity-even though he prefers to be
known as "a live politician" rather than
an elder statesman. In any case, his
presence gives the official Democratic
stamp to Chicago for this chapter in the
1856 campaign.
