Newspapers have changed. It needs only the comparison of the modern paper with the little four-page weekly sheets that were published in Richmond and Centerville in the years 1821 and 1825 to notice the difference. In a dingy leather cover, with the binding peeling and dusty, four numbers of the Richmond Public Ledger, the second paper in the county, and five numbers of the Western Emporium, published about the same time in Centerville, then the county seat, were discovered among the files of the Western Sun at Vincennes, Ind., and loaned for a week to The Palladium. "All letters to the editor must have the postage paid or they will not be attended to," says the editorial column of the issue of the Public Ledger for Oct. 16, 1S24, just below the Information that the paper was published by Edmund S. Buxton on Front street, opposite the Richmond hotel. Centerville Paper The Western Emporium was published by John Scott on Main street, opposite the courthouse, in Centerville. Rates for the Ledger were given as $2.50 if paid in advance, with a higher 'rate for charge accounts, followed by the warning "No paper discontinued until the arrears are paid." Advertising rates were given at $1.00 for three insertions of 15 lines or less, and 25 tents for each reprint. "Larger advertisements in the same proportion," the notice said. Six months later the price was dropped to $1.50 for the 52 numbers, in advance. It was not a voluntary drop; competition had reached the newspaper business. Had to Cut Rate "When I commenced the publication of the Public Ledger," begins an editorial in the issue of Feb. 26, 1825, "I put the terms at those of every other respectable paper in the state. And for a paper that is worthy the patronage of the public, two dollars is but a fair remuneration for the expense of publishing It. It is easy to publish a paper at a very low price, but such a one would be hardly worth supporting. However, the editor of the Western Emporium has reduced the price of his paper, which makes it incumbent to reduce the price of mine also." j , Then with a promise that the editor

LESS WASTE, PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY, NEED OF FARMERS, STATES AUTHORITY

By Associated Press) ; COLUMBUS, Ohio. April 10. Cutting out waste and "increasing the Intensity and efficiency of production," i what farming people .need, rather than more, production,: in the opinion of Dean "Alfred Vivian of the college of agriculture, Ohio State university. ' "Bend more effort towards lowering the cost of production, if you would make fanning more profitable," is the advice of H. C. Ramsower, director of agricultural extension at the university. Proper use of expert information and a complete study of better farming methods are the rules laid down for the accomplishment of this. "In fhis concetn," sard Mr. -Ramsower, "with the marketing programs, which are the objects of the greater majority of farmers' organizations, the farmer must not. lose' sight of the problems of production. "Farmers are but following the line of least resistance when they enter a co-operative association which will net them a Laving of a few cents a bushel on the yrain they market, or a like small saving on livestock sold. They are overlooking a possibility to make an appreciably large increase in their crop and livestock profits by introducing, each man on his own farm, methods of livestock management and rrop culture which will lead to a lower cost of production. Must Work Alone Tn this field, the farmer is compelled tc work alone, solving his own individual problem with possibly only i he aid of expert agricultural information gained from bulletins and other literature, and from his, county agent and other extension workers. Study and the exercise of individual initiative are the prime requirements for arriving at a more economical pro- " gram of production. "The spread in cost of production of the same commodities but on different farms the one efficiently managed and th' other not indicates a possible saving by the use of proper methods of many times the amounts which could be saved in organized marketing. , "With the savings operating on both ends, in marketing as it is being done and in production as it can be done, thpre would be a different story to tell aboui agricultural conditions in Ohio today." Eighteen million dozen eggs are produced annually by the 10 leading counties of Ohio, statistics obtained by the poultry department of Ohio State university from the federal census, announced today, show. Darke county leads with 2,655,664 dozen. Marion and Fulton counties get the largest average income per farm, according to the figures. Marion county has an average income per farm of $363.01, there being an average of 113 chickens a farm.

Richmond and With Little Four Page Weekly would attempt to keep his paper up to the old high standard, the new rates were announced. It is now easier to understand the anamosity that existed between the two papers until they were both to drop out of existance, shortly before the present Palladium was born, in 1831. f Used Shears News collecting consisted mainly of the liberal use of the shears. . Foreign news which occupied about a third of the space recounted in tabloid form the happenings of European states as given in eastern papers, or reported by the skippers of;packets just arrived from England. News from the United States wasclipped from the exchanges that came-to the office, often, with comment by the editor. Local news was almost entirely absent, perhaps on the supposition that local gossip was already fully known before the paper came tfrom the press. As feature- stories the papers carried excerpts from scientific articles, philosophical treatises, and, as a recognition of the large Quaker popula tion of the county, the Ledger printec a series on "A Quaker's Advice to His Nephew on the Subject of Marriage," an early ancestor of the advice of Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson. ; Would Take Produce If you wanted the paper cash was not always needed. . In the issue for May 7, 1825, the Public Ledger stated, "The following articles of country pro duce will be taken. for subscriptions to the Ledger, viz: Wheat, rye, oats, corn, bacon, lard, sugar, ginseng, beeswax, tallow, candles, flax, wool, linen rags, etc, etc., to be delivered at the office." Still another paper.in the collection, not one published itf Wayne county, suggest erl that whisky would make a desirable commodity fortrade for the paper. That single volume of exchanges received by the Vincennes Western Sun nearly one hundred years ago is almost priceless now, for mo6t of the issues bound in it can never be replaced. The meager history of Wayne county that was recorded at the time, is found in the newspapers, and the copies .saved were few. leads in egg production, having an average of about 70 eggs a bird. This county produces 1,948,660 dozen eggs a year, the census figures show, and the eggs together with the poultry, are valued at more than a million dollars. The cost of producing a bushel of corn diminishes .steadily as the yield per ac3 increases, according to the Extension Service, Ohio State university. The yields on 61 farms in Greene, Hardin, and Portage counties last year vjried from 25 to 85 bushels an acre while the cost per bushel decreased from $1 to 43 cents. Aeoordin gto the records kept on these farms, the cheapest corn was produced at 33 cents for a 58jbushel crop, with a 72-bushel crop, costing 35 cents a bushel to produce, a close second, on one farm. 28 bushels was produced at a cost of $1.08 a bushel, while on another, a 38-bushel crop cost the same. FIND BOGUS HERO CHICAGO. Anril in ncnortmtn justice operatives and the American region, rounding up bogus army uniform wearers in Chicago, picked up a self-admitted outstanding hero of the war. Investigation showed he had evaded registration for the draft. He was wearing, however, insignia of the 77th Division, stripes of a master sergeant, service and wound chevrons, marksmanship medals and American and foreign decorations.

Plan for a Governed World By FREDERIC J. HASKIN

j WASHINGTON, D. C. April 10. Dating almost from the time of the signing of the armistice, practically the whole civilized world has had its attention turned to the question of combination 6f the powers of the world for the prevention of future international clashes. Woodrow Wilson shocked a great many people by leaving the country of which he was then Chief Executive and going to France to try to put through the league of nations. He succeeded in this abroad, but met an insurmountable obstacle at home in the United States Senate. But a few days ago the last of the treaties negotiated at the recent conference .here for the limitation of national armament's was ratified by the Senate. These treaties, it is sincerely hoped, will give the world a breathing spell at least, if not prove a permanent panacea for troubles between the nations of the earth. It is not to be expected that such a great undertaking as grouping the world's nations in bonds of common advantage and accord can be accomplished perfectly in a short time. Our own country we look upon now as indissolublv hnunri early days it went through such difiicuiues ana internal trials that the statesmen of Europe were continually expectine the rnmnipt hrenUH "the American experiment." As late ly as t0 years ago, two sections of our country were engaged in a bitter strife,, one Dart seekine to SPnarato useii irom tne other because of con-i fliotinp- nini- r,J" Tr ...

The efforts to bind the nations of the world together to some extent are not nnrpiatPri t th. i 1 not unrelated to the early struggle to make one nation of the new states on this continent. The first Dlan under which they were united proved a failure, and led to the formation and adop-1 tion of th rnnstitntinn nprriia,. ! tion of 'the Constitution.

It was not until March 4, 1779, that the Constitution went into effect. During the years between, the infant republic was struggilng to bind the several states into one whole which would stand the test of time and trouble. A committee was appointed by Congress to draw up the Articles of Confederation at the same time the committee was named to draft the Declaration of Independence June 11. 1776. The Articles were adopted on November 15. of the same year, but were not ratified by all the 13 states until March 1, 1781. Because the legislatures of the new states ratified the Articles of Confederation, but the people did not do so by direct vote, it was felt in many quarters that the instrument had n binding force. Some states failed to comply with all of the provisions. Some encroached on the authority of the Federal Government, newly set up. States trespassed on each other's rights.

ly. Eventually a bold change of plan was decided upon. Instead of revising the Articles of Confederation, the delegates decided to draw up a new document for the approval of the people. In this idea was the inception of the Constitution of the United States. ihe result of these deliberations ev erybody knows or should know. The American Peace Society now puts forward "Suggestions for a gov erned world," which may be briefly summarized as urging the nations to agree as follows: ' 1. To Institute conferences of nations at regular intervals, in continuation of the two conferences at The Hague. 2. To convoke a conference as soon as possible for the advancement and extension of international law. 3. To establish an Administrative Council of diplomats accredited to the country in which the international law conference is held, to represent the interests of their governments until succeeding conferences on internafinn. al law convene. 4. To authorize the Administrative Council to appoint an executive committee or secretary's office outside of its own members, to perform prescribed duties. - - - 5. To emnower ttiA Administrntfun council to appoint other necessary committees. 6. To empower the Administrative Council to name necessary technical advisers. 7. To employ good offices, mediation and friendly composition wherever feasible and practicable in their own disputes, and to urge the employment of these means in cases of disputes between other nations. 8. To organize a Commission of Inquiry for investigation and report on international disputes. 9. To provide a council of Conciliations for international disputes other than those in the jurisdiction of the Commission of Inquiry. 10. To arbitrate differences of an international character not otherwise provided for, and in the absente of an agreement to the contrary, submit them to the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague. 11. To set up an international court of justice to which, upon failure of diplomacy, all states shall have direct access. 12. To enlarge the jurisdiction of this court from time to time of the extension of the rules of international; law. 13. To apply inwardly in international law as a rule of law for the decision of all questions involving its principles, and outwardly to apply international law to all questions arising! 1010 Main FACTS ONLY
