ton of the duties of the office to
which they were elected by pre-
senting to the proper officials
their certification of election.
The law, however, requires
certain officers, namely: any
judge of the court of record;
state officers; county officers:
and judge of the county court,
to be commissioned by the gov
ernor. The law also requires that
the fee for this commission be
five dollars ($500) and shall be
paid to the secretary of state.
No officer required to be COM
missioned may enter upon any Of
the duties of the office until
such commission has been re-
ceived.
All commissions issued by the
governor and countersigned by
the secretary of state will be for
warded by him to the clerk of
courts of the county of residence
in accordance with the statutes.
The clerk of courts is required to
deliver the commission to the

ness recovery throughout the country, ac-
cording to the econmists, was the simple fact
that people had more money to spend Much
of it was in cash savings, which they had been
sailing away during the recession, while
holding back on major purchasing.
Also contributing to the recovery was
the mounting feeling of confidence, based on
rising wages and increased employment in
most areas
Net income in Noble county in the year,
after the deduction for taxes, reached a total
of $13, ,433000.
Apportioning it equally among the local
population shows that it was equivalent to
$3784 per household in net spending capa-
city.
Most business leaders see good times
ahead for the first half of 1860 Shortages of
merchandise, especially in the heavy goods
field, will have to be replenished, keeping
factories busy for some time to come. EN-
ployment and wages, it is concluded, will con-
tinue to be favorable, subject to another
crippling strike.

in the popularity polls, particularly since
Rockefeller has announced he will not be
candidate.
Meanwhile from less bombastic centers,
both Democratic and Republican, have come
further proposals for the Vice Presidency -
notably of Lausche, of Arizona's Barry Gold
water and of Delaware's Senator John J.
Williams. These suggestions, we think, make
good deal of sense, but not enough. We'd
rather see all three of them contending for

runners for the White House might, most
any Of them, be satisfactory Vice Presidents.
In fact, in the case of Mr.. Nixon, we have a
splendid background of experience which
should not be wasted
AS it looks from here, if Lausche, as the
Democratic nominee were to be opposed by
either GoldWater or Williams, we would be
assured of an enthusiastic campaign, record
turnout of voters and in Whomsoever

the conviction that two plus two equals four

INCOME TAX HINTS

arising from sales or services,
you cannot deduct the bad debt
unless you have included the
sale in income.
If you are in business, your
business bad debts are deducted
together with your other business
costs, on separate Schedule c of
the tax return.
If your bad debt is a personal
debt, the deduction is made on
separate Schedule D of the tax
return as a short term capital
loss. Such losses cannot be
deducted from other income in
an amount over $1,000 per year.
However, they can be deducted
from capital gains in any amount.
If you have a bad debt loss of
more than $1,000, take $1,000 this
year and carry the balance over
to 1860. You can deduct $1,000
per year for the next five years,
if your loss amounts to that
much. You can take it all in any
year that you can deduct it from
your capital gains.

Secretary Of Ssots Of Ohio

Merchants have a policy of
taking inventory in January.
Boards of elections do not wait
until the new year to take in
ventory." After every election
the boards of elections make note
of the difficulties which arose
during the weeks leading up to
the election and those occurring
on election day and take steps
to see that they are eliminated
in future elections.
Just as we have urged boards
to take these periodic "apprai-
sals' for ways to improve their
administration and their service,
the secretary of state has also
urged them to make note of
innovations which have proved
successful so that they may be
incorporated in standard proce-
dure Of the future.
Meetings of members, clerks,
and deputy clerks of the boards
of elections are held each year
sometimes as district meetings
and sometimes as statewide con-
ferences-to discuss important
matters concerning the election
coming up. In addition, these
meetings offer a fine opportunity
for boards of elections officials
and members of the secretary OF
states staff to exchange ideas
review some of the difficulties
which have arisen and discuss
ways to cure" them. Also, ar
equal opportunity is given fo,
boards to relate new ideas, new
record keeping systems, etc,
which have worked to their bene,
fits, so that other boards may
adopt similar procedures.
These 'stock-taking" check:
by boards and exchanges of idea!

A new business survey, containing the
first comprehensive figures on income and
spending in Noble county through the first
half of 1859, has just been made public.
1t shows that local consumers were back
in the market place in force, maintaining re-
tail sales at a high level. The recession of
1888, which had put the brakes on their
normal spending pattern, was all but forgot
ten as they proceeded to pick up where they
had laid off.
The best recovery was registered by
those products that had been hit hardest by
the recession autos, heavy appliances and
other high-priced items Once again, consum-
ers seemed willing to take on installment
debt to purchase such goods.
The survey, which takes in every part of
the United States, is for the II months end
ing July !, 1859. 1t was produced by the
Standard Rate and Data Service.
1t shows that Noble county's retail mer-
chants were able to chalk up sales volume
of $40, 900 in the year, topping the $1O,-
100000 of the prior year.

Democratic Candidates

Under the ebullient leadership Of form
er President Harry Truman, the man who
has nothing to lose, the noisier Democrats
are growing over the quantity of prospective
Presidential candidates within the ranks
if not the quality.
Some while ago Mr.. Truman announced
that there were half dozen Democrats who
could beat the COPS choice and enumerated
Adlai Stevenson, Hubert Humphrey, John
Kennedy, Suart Symngton, Pat Brown and
Soapy Williams (though not perhaps in that
order), Later, news photos showed him in hi
larious conclave with most of them at Elean-
or Roosevelt's 500 a plate birthday party.
Among those conspicuously absent from this
Waldorf Whingding was Lyndon Johnson Of
Texas who has emitted candidatorial
noises from time to time Nor SO far as we
know, has Mr.. Truman offered any public
commentary on Ohio's Senator Frank J.

fact that no subject seems to be
so generally misunderstood as
the broad subject of industrial
relations, and there is very
little hope of relief from the
present difficulties until a very
general understanding of this
vital subject is achieved"
Well said, Mr.. Ruthenburg!
We agreed with you sixteen
years ago when you uttered
those words of warning and
advice - we agree with you
even more enthusiastically to-
day. The hope of building a
better America still lies with
the level-headed Logical Lib
erals-not with the torpid Tor
les, the mendicant Moochers or
the emoting Emotional Liber-
ais.
The Logical Liberals can
give to America, which now
enjoys the highest standard of
living in world history, an even
higher standard of living. Dear
reader, please look in your mir
ror to see if reflected there
stands a Logical Liberal.

The Fabulous FiffieS

Noble county will join with the world in
the observance of the passing of the fabulous
fifties and the ushering in Of 1860 to bring
with it what it may.
The last decade has been an interesting
one in Noble county and the most important
event to transpire was the location OF the
Caldwell branch of the Cleveland Graphite
Bronze company here and the sister plant at
McConnelsvlle.
1t is difficult to believe just how much
economic good this plant has accomplished
for Noble county and the immediate sur
rounding area That it has accomplished
much is foregone conclusion.
The industrial expansion of our county
is due entirely to the location and growth of
the Cleveland Graphite company as it fast
became an important cog in our wheels of

1t was also during the past decade that
Caldwell approved the annexation of Olive
addition to the corporation limits which has
proven so satisfactory to it's progressiveness.
AS we look back in review, we can also
see first the development of Bronze Heights
by the R. c. Moore lumber company, the fast
development of Sunset Hills by Crock &
Schafer, the construction of the Park motel
and the subsequent development Of Park
Heights, to mention only few.
Although there were several severe set
backs such as the closing down of Cozier
Container Corporation and the Ava Brick
plant, the fabulous fifties were good to Noble

that we can continue to strive toward big

The 0piimist And

Two gay young frogs from inland
bogs,
Had spent the night in drinking;
AS morning broke and they
awoke,
Ere yet their eyes were blinking,
A farmers pail came to the swail
And caught them quick as
Winking.
Ere they could gather scattered
senses,
Or breathe a prayer for past
offenses,
The ganger-grave, that guiless
man
Had dumped them in the milk

The can filled up, the lid shut
down,
They're quickly started off to
town.
The luckless frogs begin to
quake,
And sober up on cold milk shake;
They quickly find their breath
will stop
Unless they swim upon the top;
They kick for life, they kick
and swim
Until their weary eyes grow dim.
Their muscles ache. their breath
grows short,
And gasping, speaks one weary
sport;
Say! Dear old boy, it's tough to
die so young,
But I've had enough kicks for
life;
No more I'll try it; I wasn't
raised on a milk diet"

LOGICAL LIBERALS
By George Peck

Some sixteen years ago, Mr..
Louis Ruthenburg, at that time
president of Servel, Inc, was
interview by the maga-
zine "Sales Management" He
sounded a warning to the effect
that it was high time business
leaders should begin to think
like politicians; that they
should take an active part in
formulating and guiding poll
tical affairs; that they should
sell "businCss" to the nation,
explaining its earned and
rightful place in economics, if
they wished American to re-
main strong.
He pointed out that never
was the time so ripe as then
for wrestling the country from
the influence Of that small but
persistent group of malcontents
that was thriving on destruc-
ton, turmoil and Wreckage.
This columnist has been
happy to note, during the six
teen years that have elapsed
since Mr.. Ruthenburg issued
his warning, that many Of our
larger corporations and a
Smattering Of smaller concerns
have begun to impress upon
their top personnel the adViS-
ability and necessity Of engag-
ing in politics at the COM
munity, state and federal
levels. Unfortunately, however,
all too many companies con-
tinue to sit alphabetically on
the Side-lines and are still not
doing their civic and patriotic
duties.
Mr.. Ruthenburg classified
voters, regardless of party, at
that time, as falling into four
general groups, AS they still
fall into those same general
categories, let US repeat how he
classified them some sixteen
years ago. He described then
as follows:
