Me, and the losers are wondering why the #electorate failed to show better judgr ■went and greater intelligence., Many ■of the pre-election prognosticators are busily explaining why things did net turn out .as they had predicted, While others are saying, U1 told you so," The newly, elected Congress Will he faced with many serious prob lems. The work will be hard and the hours wiR be long. 'Difficult and dark days are ahead and the ability and capacity o f the American people ■to govern themselves will .be put to the test. The next two weeks will prove..to be pnlong the most crucial in American history. The time has come when only unity, courage'pud intelligence, added ‘to a firm .faith in American destiny, will 'guarantee the survival o f representative govern ment. charges cruelty, Mary Ragar, in the third suit, seeks a divorce from Kenneth Ragar, Xenia, whom she charges with cruel ty, They were married October 11, 1930, 'at West Alexandria, O. She also requests custody .o f their two minor children, ' JUDGMENT AWARDED Frank A. Benua, Columbus, was granted judgment for $23,249.60 on a promissory hote and .forclopure of eight tracts of real estate in Cedar- ville village and township, in. a suit against Charles P, and Mary P. Beavercreek Twp. •"m , As this is written the news and other reports from the Solomon Is lands are Hot good, American losses have .been, heavy, and there, are ■in dications that American planning and leadership have not- measured up. Many.Ohio hoys, including a number .from the Seventh District have beep, .engaged in the conflict. They have. <’Been fighting without proper equip ment and support. They have provch their courage and their patriotism under fire. Any weakness of failures ‘ in , the American tcfmtfpai^ti in the Sologiona , certainly does n ot.come from, among the ranks of our fight ing' men, for they have lived up in every way to. American tradition. •Recent action of the ^Office ■of Price Administration, and other gov- . ■emmental agencies, in fixing prices ~ on farm, commodities and .processed farm,products at figures much below parity, has brought angry protests • f rom numerous. Senators and hag re sulted in ,the introduction of res'olu- tiens. calling for Senate investigation o f the whole matter. The Price Con- ' trol Act prohibits the fixing of such prices at less than parity,, and it is ' the contention o f numerous legisla tors that the Price Control officials haye deliberately .evaded or violated the law. It. is, o f course well known that the-.pride Administrator, and Other ' Administration - leaders were not pleased with the provisions of the law recently passed by the Gongress to control prices, but their refusal to carry out the intent,, purpose; and mandatory provisions of the law, and their attempt to interpret *the law to' suit themselves/ has come at an unpleasant surprise apd shock to . those who believe in the orderly pro cesses o f government. More will* be ' heard o f the matter as time goes on. DIVORCES GIVEN. Ada Fleming was divorced from. B. H, Fleming and given custody of .minor children and Dorothy- Cook was granted a divorce from Kenneth Cook. , ALIMONY GIVEN - Daisy' Ester Ctemmer, in an action against-James Clemmer, was award ed permanent alimony.
