R. 1776-—the Lease-Lend Bill—^was pass­ ed by the lower branch of Congress last Saturday by a vote of 260 to 165: The Administration-was able to hold inoBt of the Democrat majority in line for the bill, although a number o f Democratic, members joined with the -Republican minority in rolling up a substantial vote against the meas­ ure: Several amendments, such as were mentioned‘last week, were voted into the bill on the Floor of the House. However, these amendment may be stricken out or materially changed by action of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which now takes charge of the bill in the Senate. Coni Market Quotas ' Probable In 1941 DIVORCE SUITS Hazel Rice Seeks a decree from Donald Rice, Springfield, whom she married. Dec. 3, 1940, She charges gross neglect.of duty. By Dora Jacobs, her next friend, Mary Viola Nevil filed suit against Joseph Nevil, Condit, O., charging cruelty. They were married Novem­ ber 18, 1939, at Covington, Ky. She seeks custody of a minor child and restoration to her maiden name of Jacobs.-. SEERS JUDGMENTS The Home Federal Savings and Loa/ Association seeks foreclosure . judf ments in two cases. One, filed against Robert P. MtClelland/ and Grace Me-' Clelland, asked a $5,972.08 judgment. .The other, instigated against .Emily Giles and W. M, Giles, seeks $085.20. of cor 3an Under Senate rules there is no limi- -tation on debate in the upper body of Congress, unless cloture is followed, a procedure which has seldom been invoked; So it may be expected that the Lease-Lend Bill will be more thoroughly discussed and debated on the Floor of the Senate than it was < in^the House, under the strict limita­ tion of debate as provided by-the rules of that body; A final vote on the measure in the Senate will probably not be reached before early in March. •FORECLOSURE ASKED The American Loan j»nd Realty Co., asks foreclosure of property in a suit against George A. Burton and Mary H. Burton. The Home Federal Sayings* arid Loan Association is co-defcfpdant., GRANT DIVORCES Clara CorbhKjgas granted a divorce from Hickman, CobhijL_on cross­ petition charging gfBHBrTleglect. She was also given custody of minor child­ ren. A divorce was granted Mary Owens from Bruce Owens on grounds of gross neglect and cruelty. Gross neglect and cruelty formed the basis for a decree granted Grace Grooms from Everett Grooms. America’s lifting of the moral em­ bargo against the shipment of planes, .munitions anil-other^war -supplies-to Russia has caused much comment on Capitol Hill. The embargo was made effective following Russians invasion of little Finland about a year ago. At that time the American people and the Roosevelt Administration were much stirred up about aid for Finland. Now that Russia has gobbled up and di­ gested a large portion of Finland, and the Finnish people are' suffering from lack of food, clothing and. medi­ cal supplies, their plight has seem­ ingly been forgotten, as their applica­ tion for a seven million dollar loan has been rejected and-Stalin-and the COmmtmistie government of Russia is once more in the good graces of the American government. For some it is ■hard to Understand the difference be­ tween the Communistic government of Russia and the Nazi government of Germany. The question may well be asked as to the difference between the conquest Of the republics of Czecho­ slovakia and Poland by Nazi Germany and of the seizure of Latvia,.Lithu­ ania, .and little Finland by the over- -towering forces of Communistic Rus­ sia. Incidentally it might also be well to mention here that the British Min­ ister of War Economics has recently been protesting over the heavy in­ crease of American exports to Soviet Russia. The Minister has pointed out th&t during the past few months much American wheat hat been shipped in­ to Russia to replace Rusiasn wheat *sent into Germany and that huge and increased supplies of American gaso­ line, oil, metals and other war needs have' been flowing into Russia, while large quantities of Russian oil, gaso­ line-metal and other like war needs . have been sold and delivered to the 'Nazi government. DENIES DIVORCE Juvenile Judge Homer H. Henrie denied a divorce decree in the case of, Fred-- =J^=-Shouse—against* Virginia Shouse when testimony was given the couple is living together as man and wife. Their child becomes a ward of juvenile court. PARTITION ORDERED Partition of property was granted in. the case of Effie Matthews against Alice Inman and others. AWARD JUDGMENTS The following judgments were awsrdeitr Peoples' Building 'anti Sav^ ings Co., for. $5,736,15 against Harold McCoy ' and. Pauline McCoy; -Home Owners* Loan Corp., $4,732.01 against E. A. Allen and Grace B. Allen. On-Monday of this week the House took Up the Doughton bill, an Ad­ ministration measure lifting the Fed­ eral debt limit from forty-nine billion -dollars to sixty-five billions. The Ways »vnd Mqans Committee late last week completed hearings on the bill. Repub­ lican members of the Committee ob­ jected (to lumping the natiimn debt limit to*sixty-five billion dollars all at dice, insisting that smaller Increases - In -the debt limitation might tend to bold down public expenditures, and •Will(attempt to amend the bill so as to place the debt limit a t sixtyMillion dollars rather than sixty-five billions. Early, in the' RoOseVelt Administration the limitation oil the national debt was ijbted a t forty-five billion dollars, but 'dust year it was raised to forty-nine billion dollars. Already the national dbbt passed the original forty-five bil­ l o n dollar mark. According to . the Treasury statement of February 4th, .the national debt on that date stood fct forty-five billion nine hundred and ' seven mjllion dollars. Secretary of the Treasury, Morgentheau, predicts that the national debt will, reach sixty-five billion dollars within eighteen months. Incidentally it is estimated that the United- States Treasury will have to B§1I eighteen-billion dollars worth of government bonds or other U. S. certi­ ficates of debt during the next eight­ een months. Approximately one- third Of this amount will be necessary to refund Federal obligations falling CASE DISMISSED - The case of D. L.

Williamson, cashier of the Spring Valley National hank, has been reelected president of the Greenc County Bankers association for his fou rth« consecutive term. George Prugh, of the Xenia -National bank, serving as secretary-treasurer udder appointment to fill an unexpired term, was elected to that post, Harold M. Van Pelt, Spring .Valley business, man, addressed the group a t' the election meeting, " . With the largest amount of corn in storage ever recorded in th4 history of the United States, the addition of a normal corn crop to the total supply in 1941 .will' in all probability raise the amount of corn in storage, more than ten percent'. above the normal supply level. This will make manda­ tory, under the provisions of the Agri­ cultural Adjustment Act of 1938, the invoking of Marketing Quotas on corn the Secretary of Agriculture. If Marketing Quotas are declared a referendum vote among corn growers will he held to uphold or discontinue the Quotas. At the present time figures show that, approximately 500 million bushels are held under the A’AA Corn am and 200 million bushels are held in private storage. This huge corn supply isSmare' than twice* the amount of the surplus supply held in 1932 and 1933 when -extremely low prices oty corn prevailed. At the pre­ sent time, the Governrnent loan rate of sixty-one cents per bu£h«l is the only factor preventing a return'tp the' former low price levels. The voting of a marketing quota ol corn through a referendum in 1941 would*mean in its plainest terms that com farmers participating in the 1941 Conservation.) Program would be vot­ ing a ta: ..t' fifteen cents a bushel on all corn produced in excess of acreage allotments in the commercial corn area unless the excess corn is kept stored on the farm. For information of Greene Count Farmers in regard to Marketing/Quo- tas, the answers are given Mow to some of the questions that ryost often arise: Q. What^aMTCortt-mSuketing quo­ tas? AT“ CTVnmim'ki(tfiigTpiotas tire the maximum amounts of bom producers may market without penalty in years when supplies are- excessive and farm­ ers vote two-to-one in favor of-such restrictions. They provide a method of having farmers who have- over­ planted their corn allotments hold their excess production off the market until it is needed. Otherwise farmers would market their excess supplies and lower the market value of corn not only for themselves, but also for other farmers who had not overplant­ ed t heir corn allotments. Q. When do com marketing quotas go into effect? ' . A. Only in years when the supply of corn is more than 10 percent above normal. In those years a referenduift ■will be held- and quotas will be effec­ tive only if two-thirds'of the farmers who vote-in the referendum■vote in favor of using quotas. I s Q. Does it appear that corn market­ ing quotas will be proclaimed in 1941? A. It appears highly probable, al­ though the final determination will de­ pend on the size of the 1941 crop and on the size of the corn carry-over on October 1,1941. It is definitely known that the carry-over of old corn in the fall of 1941 will be above normal. Be­ cause, of the European' War and the need for a feed supply adequate to meet any emergency, the 1941 com allotment is larger than it would otherwise be. Accordingly, an ucreage in excess,of the allotment or an above j normal yield is almost certain to niake the proclamation of marketing quotas necessary, Q. What would be the effect of an unfavorable vote on marketing quo­ tas? A. There would be no limit on the amount of corn any farmer could market. But there would be no com loans to anyone—-either cooperators or noncooperators. Loans are prohibited by the Agricultural Adjustment Act in a year when quotas are proclaimed and voted down. Q. Who would he eligible to voth in a referendum? A, All farmers growing corn in the commercial corn-producing area ex­ cept those who are exempted because of small production, Q. How will marketing quotas on corn affect the individual farmer? A. Marketing quotas have NO DI­ RECT EFFECT ON THE FARMER WHO HAS PLANTED WITHIN HIS CORN ACREAGE ALLOTMENT, He is not subject to penalty for any corn, fed or sold. Farmers who exceed their allot­ ments will have to 'store on their farms or under their control part of their crops until quotas are suspend­ ed. The only exceptions are farmers who produce very little excess corn and those who get exceptionally low yields, A farmer who is within his allotment will be eligible for a loan at the full corn loan rate. A producer who exceeds his allotment will be able to get a loan only at GO percent, of the full'rate and only on the amount of corn lie is to store. It he preferred to1use or to sell his corn instead of storing it, he would bo subject to a penalty of 15 cents per bushel on marketings in excess of his quota.

Repairs Completed Following Recent Fire Workmen haite completed the re­ pairs on the township house follow­ ing the fire in a ventilator on the roof last Thursday morning. Investigation re veals the chimney at the location of the fire was in good condition and the fire could not be ascribed to that, i The other chimneys on the building were inspected and the one used by the posloffice room near the front of the building, and some distance from the. other chimney, had a large hole in it: The mystery is how fire did not orig­ inate at this chimney, The fire last Week recalls the dis- asterous fife in 1887 when a former building the crime type qn the same site bufned along with a livery barn and residence oil the north side. The fire' at that time originated in the liv­ ery barn about ten o’clock and in an hour the opera house was enveloped in flame and a total loss, The build­ ing had been erected in 1886. The present building wm erected in 1888.
