FARM BUREAU
AFTER MEMBERS
COUNTY     AGENT     OUTLINES     IN
BRIEF THE PLANS AND WORK
Of ORGANIZATION.
/
The farmers of Lorain county will,
Ir. a very short time, be given an opportunity of renewing their membership in the farm bureau or Joining If
tbey are not already members. For
this reason tha county farm agent,
Howard Rogers, has given us the following outline of what the Ohio Farm
Bureau federation, of which each coun-
t> or township organization Is a part,
actually means to the farmers of Lorain county.
For a great number of years, farmers have felt the need of protection
and support in the legislature and not
without Just cause. One of the Important things which the farm bureau
attempts to do and is doing Is to supply this need, or In other words to become the farmers' "watch dog" in tho
legislature.
The Ohio Farm Bureau federation
came into existence ln January, 1919,
and at once began to make Itself felt
In our legislature. Being a young organisation, it was at flrst somewhat
green at the business but It ls represented by the best ot men and is fast
learning by experience. Below ure
given a few Instances which this organisation has a hand In:
Legislation Accomplished.
Pure Seed Law—This law compels
seedsmen to plainly label all seeds
sold, giving the germinating percentage and the amount of foreign seed,
weak aeed and dirt. This is a good
law.
Public Road Law—This law grants
county commissioners power to enforce laws regulating traffic on our
highways and provides for punishment of violators.
Farmers' Co-operative Law—Thla
bill was held in committee by the senate because of the senate being largely controlled by the city Interests
which are opposing all attempts of
farmers to buy and sell collectively,
but was passed ln the lower house, 85
to 15 votes. This ls a good bill and
will be heard from again.
Bills Opposed—The Hebe milk bill
was a vicious piece of legislation
which the large milk distributing
companies tried to slip through. It
would have allowed the extracting of
butter fat from milk aad tha substituting of cheap ollff and fat and then
selling the product as pure milk. This
bill was killed in committee.
Classification   Defeated.
The big interests who sought to put
over the classification of property for
taratlon amendment had preparations
made for calling a special election In
May when farmers were all busy
planting corn. The farm bureau and
grange blocked the May election
scheme.
The classification fight last November was the first real scrap that the
farm bureau took an active part In.
Sixty thousand letters and 600,000
leaflets were sent out over the stute
from tiie state secretary's office. From
1 to 30 meetings were held in each

EDITORIAL IN NEWS-TIMES HELPS
IN GETTING RESULTS—PROMISES BEST EFFORTS.
An editorial published In a recent
Issue- of The News Times, tn which
the war risk Insurance bureau was
criticized for Its treatment of the Arthur Holiingsworth case, has apparently started something, and speedy
results are In Immediate prospect.
The editorial created much comment and aroused public sentiment
to a large extent.
As was stated tn the editorial. In
order to obtain results, the people ot
Amherst must nsk tbe aid and attention of their congressman. Martin L.
Davey. R. Lea Menz, of the Amherst
Lumber Co., was one of those who
wrote to Mr. Davey, Inclosing a copy
:er the News-Times editorial.
Davey Gives Letter Attention.
Upon receipt of the letter, Congressman Davey wrote Mr. Mens as follows. In part:
"Referring to the case of Private
Arthur Holiingsworth. whose condition Is referred to ln the editorial in
the Amherst News-Times, which you
have been thoughtful to Inclose with
your letter, I beg to say that I should
be very glad to take up this soldier's
claim with the war risk bureau In an
effort to have further and more satisfactory consideration of his claim. I
agree fully that Private Holiingsworth
is receiving a most Insignificant compensation In proportion to the Injuries
sustained by him as outlined n the
newspaper article, and I shall make
every effort to have his case reopened
with a view to having his award for
disability increased. I am glad that
you called my attention to this case
and if you know of any other instances
wherein I might be of some help pertaining to the service of any soldier,
please ask them to communicate with
me.
With best wishes, I beg to remain
Sincerely yours,
MARTIN L. DAVEY.

Officials of tho stone company say
If they had been able to get connected
with the Ohio quarries, where there
is a fire schedule system, arousing the
South Amherst firemen, probably part
of the building could huvjj. been saved.
However, central at the Amherst exchange refused to take calls from an

The Amherst high school basketball
teams went to Birmingham last Saturday und got severe drubbings. It 1b
a sad tale but one couldn't lay the
whoel blame for the defeat on the
members of the team. The boys'
score was 23 to 14 and the girls 4-2,
both games ln favor of Birmingham.
Although It Isn't always proper to
give alibis, it is a shame to olse a
game to a team in a town the size of
HirmIngham and have people think
the game was played on a regular basketball floor. But it wasn't. Instead
the tloor was ot dirt, In an enclosed
gym, but without heat and with three
small electric lights. Outside of that
the gym was all right.
The girls' game was about the slowest ever played by an Amherst team.
No dribbling could be done on account
of the floor, and the girls were unable
to play their usual style. However,
Birmingham did not do much better,
making only two field goals. At the
end of teh first half the score was
0 to 0.
Same for the Boys.
The boys found the same difficulties
ns the girls, although they were able
to make more points than their coworkers. Many times the Amherst
players were unable to see the ball on
account of the poor lights, and they
did a great deal of fumbling. In the
third quarter it began to look as if
Amherst was going to win in spite of
the handicaps.
The Birmingham boys played well.
They have many difficulties with heat-
ng and In getting supoptr In their
ithletic endeavors. However, they are
de.ermlnud to turn out a real team
and are making a fight for the championship of the Erie County High
School league.
Revenge Feb. 21.
A return game will be played Feb.
21 at Amherst, at which time the locals will endeavor to reverse the score.
MEASLES EPIDEMIC
WORSE THAN EVER
HEALTH OFFICER REPORT8 THAT
120 HAVE TAKEN DISEASE
8INCE   NOV.   1.
The measles epidemic seems to be
getting worse instead of better.
Health Officer W. H. Turner says that
now cases are reported to him every
day by the physicians of the town.
Wednesday there were eight new
cases.
Dr. Turner stated yesterday that in
order to get rid of the epidemic, every
person must be more careful. Fathers
and mothers of smaller children must
use every possible method to prevent
the spread of the disease. Children
should be kept within their own yards.
120 Cases Since Nov. 1.
Since Nov. 1, 58 hoems have been
quarantined, with a total of 120 cases.
The disease ls at its high mark at
the present time. Although measles
m not the most dangerous of diseases
it is anything but pleasant, und sometimes leaves the victims with defects
thai are a detriment to them the rest
1.4 tholr lives.
Dr. Turner says school very likely
will be closed for another week, unless
the epidemic Is stamped out in the
meantime.
It Is possible, unless Improvement
is shown at once, that stricter quarantine   measures   will   be   put   in  force.
It has been rumored that some
cusse of measles huve not beon reported to the health officer. Dr. Turner says If any such cases are discovered the parents would be subject ot
a fine.
The funeral of Henry Axt, 78, of
lilrmlngham was held last Friday afternoon from tho church at lilrmlngham, Rev. A. Kgli being ln charge.
Mr. Axt ls survived by a wife and
throe daughters. Interment was made
in the Birmingham cemetery.
CHURCHES OBSERVE
PRAYER WEEK
M.     E.,     CONGREGATIONAL     AND
STONE  HOLDING  UNION
8ERVICES.
Three local Protestant churches,
the Methodist, Congregational and
Stone' churches, held union services
this week In observance of National
Prayer week. Meetings of the same
kind are being held in all churches
of Christ  throughout the country.
Tho flrst meeting wus held Tuesday
evening in the Methodist church. It
was ln charge of Rev. M. Neumelster,
whose subject wus "The Church,
Awakened by a Vision of the World's
Need."
On Wednesday evening the service
was also held at the Methodist
church. Rev. Hunter talked on the
subject: "The Church, Awakened by
the New Call for Co-opeartlon."
Tonight the meeting will be held ln
the Congregational church. Rev. Hunter will speak on "The Church, Awakened by a Revival of Family Religion."
Friday evening's service will be held
In the Stone church. The subject will
be "The Church, Awakened by the
Call for Workers."
At all the meetings so fur, the attendance has been good, the subjects
chosen timely and well worth hearing.
An invitation ls extended to the public
to attend the remaining meetings.
The Amherst Furniture basketball
fives lost two hurd-fought gumes Inst
Friday evening ut the local gym, to
the fast DenlSOB teams of Cleveluml.
The locul girls olst 20 to 12, and the
boys lost :12 to 30, ln a game whlcb
Ml neck und neck all the wny. The
Furnitures now call themselves class
A pluyors and have every right to
do so.
The boys' game war. the fastest ever
played on the local floor. It was Jutt
a lucky shot that won the game for
the Denisons. The score remained
even most of the time, though Amherst forged ahead as fur us three
points several times before the Denl-
■OBS could tie it up.
The Denisons were composed of
exceptionally fine baskptballers, aev-
eta! men being old college stars. Anel
each ono was a gentleman. A letter
received since by Manager Mitchell
says the Denisons were better treated
iu Amherst than they have been by
any other out of town team they have
played a reputation which will not
hurl Amherst when It goes after other
gumes with high class teams.
The locals played like a machine,
showing the result of many nights'
hard practice. There are few centers
who can boat Mitchell, and scarcely
a forward who can outplay "Chippy"
Bruce; few forwards can score off
Kay Baunihardt and Firestone'. All of
these players starred, time and again
bring the crowd to Its feet. The ad-
elition of Firestone and Kratt of Lorain has strengthened the team considerably.
Tho locul basketball fans have every reason to be proud of such a team
as the Amherst Furnitures. Few
cities of this size can produce such a
team.

Attorney Oeneral A. Mitchell
Palmer ls vigorously backing tbe
Dsvejf bill to curb radicalism. We
are able to present a statement Issued
ny Mr. Palmer Monday of thlB week
em  this all  Important  subject:
"In order that tho department of
Justice may deal forcibly, effectively
an 1 quickly with sedltlonlsts who are
aliens or American citizens seeking
tee Injure or destroy tho government,
I hope very enrnestly that congress,
Immediately upe>n tlM reconvening
on .Ian. I, will enact into law a measure adequate to meet the grave situation now confronting us.
"There exists ae reason for further
delay In the enactment of such a
law, and I confidently expect that
there will be> none. That sedltlonlsts
should be punished is denied by no
loyal citizen, nnd that our present
Inws arc Inadequate is questioned by
none familiar with the facts.
"Several months ago. In appearing
before a senate committee, 1 made
clear the fact that the department of
Justie-e wus unublo to proceed prop-
eTly against sodltionlsts because of
luck of statutory definition of the
crime, and I also suggested the kind
of a law which I thought would meet
tbe situation.
Davey Bill Has Teeth.
"Since that time, .the bill I outlined
hus been introduced In the hotiBe by
Represontntlve Davey of Ohio, and it
is now in the hands of a subcommittee
oonaitalng of Representatives Hunted
of New York. Graham of Pennsylvania
anel Uurd of Ohio. Epitomized, the
bill after properly defining acts of sell It bin would provide for a fine of not
more than $10,000. or Imprisonment
of 20 years, or both, for any person
guilty of sedition; a fine of not more
thun 110,000, or imprisonment of not
more than 10 yeurs, or both, for any
person guilty of promoting sedition;
for the deportation of any alien convicted ot either of the foregoing
crimes, and for the denaturalization
and nubsequent deportation of any
naturalized citizen guilty of either or
both of these crimeB.
"The country's response to the Introduction of this measure leaves no
excuse for a slnglo moment's unnecessary delay In the passage of It.
Patriotic Press Indorses.
"The patriotic press of virtually every state, without regard to politics,
has endorsed the bill as the kind
which must be enacted Into law if the
supremacy of our government ls to be
maintained. Organizations of many
classes, Including postB of the American Legion, have gone on record unqualifiedly ln favor of the measure.
Individuals have written hundreds of
letters Indorsing the bill. In truth, It
has been hailed generally by red-
blooded Americans as a measure 'with
teeth In It.' and that is tho kind of a
measure the department of Justice
must have if It is going to stamp out
tbls grave menace of sedition.
