Kathleen Burden asks fo r a divorce, and custody o f two minor children iii As this column iB being written the her 8Uit aginst James Edmuhd House ,is closing four days o f torrid harden, whom she married at Cov- debate on the new tax bill. . A real fight in being made by the Re­ publican minority to gain sufficient Democratic support to substitute the Carlscm Bill-which is a modified ver­ sion o f the Ruml Plan-for the Ad­ ministration "sponsored measure, which provides no forgiveness o f 1942 ’ income taxes. The Carlson Bill will, i f adopted, provide fo r the forgiving o f all 1942 individual Income taxes; a lthough upon taxable incomes of more than twenty thousand dollars the taxpayer will be required to pay on cither his 1942 or 1943 income, ac­ cording. to which may. be the higher. This provision is to guard against any individual escaping top payment o f taxes on, a windfall, or upon ex­ orbitant profits. Democratic leaders in the House, while still giving public ' support to the Administration spon­ sored tax bill “as reported out by toe Ways and Means Committee, private­ ly admit it faces defeat and are pre- ' paring to accept a compromise tax plan in the form o f the Robertson Amendment. This amendment, spon­ sored by Representative Robertson of Virginia,, would forgive toe normal tax o f six percent and the first thirteen per- cent o f surtax on all 1942 incomes. The adoption o f the Robert­ son Amendment would exempt, in­ dividuals having a taxable income- of -two thousand dollars above exemp­ tions from ail 1942 taxes. Taxpayers having higher incomes Would have the first nineteen ■per cent o f their tax levy eliminated,, although required to pay the balance. All the various tax plans,: substitute, bills, etc., call fo r a withholding tax o f twenty per cent, to be deducted from all wages end .salaries, effective July 1st. The real question at Issue is whether* the mon­ ey so. withheld is to be applied on 1942* or 1943 income tax payments. The.Carlson Bill is a real pay-as-you go plan, with this year's taxes being paid'out o f this year’s inepme. The Administration Bill would keep all ■ individuals a. year behind, in the pay­ ment o f income taxes,* and thus al­ ways in debt to their government, unless both 1942 pnd 1943 taxes are paid this year. jngton, Ky.j February 3, 1938, She charges neglect and cruelty.

Brown said Friday, that as fa r as. he is concerned government ceilings cm retail prices o f meat and other foods are here' for the duration. Whether OPA puts sintiiiar ceilings on prices o f live hogs has nothing to do, in his opinion, with retail ceilings. Describing retail price control as a cornerstone o f the administrations policy o f stabilizing the cost o f liv­ ing, Brown added: “ There is no change in the attitude o f the OPA re­ garding the necessity o f ceilings op commodities at the retail level,” {. He Bald-new retail pork-prices will go into effect on schedule April ,1 and will he followed shortly by simi­ lar dollars and cents maximums"'op retail beef. The statement also ap­ plied to controls on retail prices of fruits, vegetables, and other foods. Brown’s attitude as expressed in the interview is that i f lessened deV mand under rationing acts to depress meat prices under government maxi- mums, theregulations should be re­ tained as a safeguard. t,J 1 hoods Singing ArmyAt Miami Beach Camp - bjdami Beach’s ‘-‘singing army” has APPOINTMENTS Appointments ‘were made as fol­ lows: J.

For the first time in years a general tax measure is being ‘con­ sidered under open rule,- which will permit any and all. >kinds o f amend­ ments to be offered, debated and voted upon. As a result all sortls of tax theories and ideas , will undoub­ tedly be brought up. 'for consideration in the form o f amendments, and the House may not be able to complete its work o f Anting a new tax law fo r several days. It is almost im­ possible to predict what the final measure may contain, but it does seem safe to prophesy that « t least ’ a partial forgiveness of 1942 taxes will be voted, and that tax collec- - tions will L» placed on a current pay- as-you-go >osiS. F o r ’ a long time now it has been the policy o f the Roosevelt Admin­ istration, Whenever some bureau or agency o f government failed to func­ tion properly, to just create a new ■organisation, under a new name to caijry on exactly the same kind of program as the original governmental agency had attempted in the first place. So in the naming o f Chester C. Davis to head a new food produc­ tion and distributing agericy in the Department o f Agriculture to -take over food matters formerly handled by Food Administrator Wiekard, the Department o f Agriculture, the Of- flee o f Price Administration, the War Production Board and the War Man Power Commission, the President is following his usual procedure. Davis, who has been named as Administra­ tor o f the neW organization, is one o f the original New Dealers, ahd from 1933 to 1930 V?aa head o f the Agri cultural Adjustment Administration, •resigning to accept an appointment as Governor o f the St. Louis branch o f the, Federal Reserve -Bank, His appointment comes as a virtual ad­ mission that thus fa r Administration attempts to meet growing farm labor and food shortages have failed. While Secretary o f Agriculture Wiekard, who has also served in the dual ca­ pacity o f Food Administrator during the past feW months*, is being made the public gOSt for the break-down on the food production front, the real responsibility for the present situ­ ation belongs to other high govern­ ment officials, including the Presi dent.

An autoist, nothing a lighted flash­ light in a roadside ditch, found Con­ ley’s body and investigation Showed he had suffered a broken leg, head and other injuries, Clothing and other articles he had purchased Sat­ urday afternoon at a South Charles­ ton store were scattered along the highway. “ 4 , Conley had been air the home o f his uncle, Jasper Adkirts, near South Charleston and left about 2 p, m. for his home at the Herbert Trainer res- idence near Plattsburg and was mak­ ing the trip afoot, having been seen about 8:30 that evening, Surviving arc his wife, Florence; two children, Peggy, 6, and Alma, J5; his parents, Mr, and Mrs. Merde Con ley, o f Morgan, jKy.; .two brothers, Clarence, o f Mansfield, and BuHce, and a sister, Mrs, Ednason, both o f Osborn. , The body was sent to Kentucky for burial. porter for the Star and now with public relations, army air.forces here, and member o f. “ To Keep ’Em Fly­ ing” staff. A clipping o f the article appear­ ing* in the Star has been received from Capt. Daniel R. Anthony, Shep­ pard field, Texas,-who said: “ This made me homesick for Miami Beach, I .enjoyed it so> much while in train­ ing there.” . .In part, Corp. Alexander wrote: ! “ It’s the singing o f the ‘ singingest’ army that ever underwent military training; and, as every general knows a singin’ soldier .is^a fightin’ soldier. “ Leather-lunged yeeps* put so much volume into their songs- that a single platoon Is* audible/ fo r blocks along this build-up sandbar,;where indolent vacationists from the Nawth used to sleep until noon in marble hotels that now serve as barracks;? The -Beach rising hour is officially 5:30 o’clock, which used to be bed­ time. Soon after their early break­ fast, marching legions o f the army ajir force technical training command' head for drill fields that were form ­ erly golf courses; but they don’t march to the old-fashioned ‘ Hut-two’ cadence count, Instead o f the mon­ otonous chant o f the counting drill instructor, there is a tidal wave of melody. “ The reveille singing is overheard to a certain extent, by civilian res-' idents o f Miami Beach; and they don’t have to eavesdrop to hear it. “•The military songs vary in melody and words. One o f toe most popular is ‘Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah,., someone’s in ithe kitchen I know-o-o-o-; someone's in the kitchen With Din-ah, playin’ on the old banjo!’ “ Versions of ‘Around Her Neck* She Wore a Yellow Ribbon’ and ’The Old Gray Mare’ are equally popular. ’Jolly, Jolly, Sixpence’ is a favorite, and the ’Sailor With the Coat o f Navy Blue’- has climbed the riggin, nobody knows how many -times. There are more parodies than tunes, but the saltier ballads have been banned; “ Everybody sings—even trainees who ‘can’t sing.’ They soon fihd they can sing, and like it. When the words become tiresome, the sergeant com­ mands: ‘In cadence, whistle!’ The music does’’ away with the tedious Hut-two’ tramping o f silent squad­ rons. "Aside from bracing the general morale, and giving every man a feel­ ing o f participating in a noble effort, music does something , for tired marching feet. It virtually assures a unison of tempo in long columns, where very slight deviations from marching rhythm Can caUBe a ‘sea­ sick* bobbing in the ranks.” Sgt. Paul E, Smith has been trans- fared from Camp Forrest, Tenft., to Ft, Banning, Ga., to attend radio school for three months. Mrs. Smith .Louis Bromfield, ’ Ohio farmer- novelist, lifelong Democrat, make*'a plea fo r toe ‘ farmer- in tiie current March o f Time film, ^America’s Food Crisis”. Speaking is the film, Mr. Bromfleld takes sharp issue with the statement: ^ “ It is wrong to go' on deceiving the people with toe idea-that more food will he produced in America this year than last, .It will not” . Selection o f M r.B rpm fie ld as spokesman for midrtiestem farmers came about through Inters, by him on this subject which appeared in the" N. Y. Times, the N. vY. Sun, and a series o f articles which ran in the N. Y.' World Telegram. He is,, of course no theoretical farmer, but the active owner o f toejj: thousand-acre Malabar Farm near Dpcas, Ohio. By a fortunate coincidence an o f­ ficial o f the March of. Time, who is himself the owner o f farm in New Jersey, had been associated with Mr- Bromfield in activities fo r the Free French. Mr. Bromfield was ap- proached/and agreed to make a state­ ment. “ What the farmer Thants/’ he says, speaking in the -fUm / “ is the .labor, machinery and fertilizer to get his job done. Without these, millions of farmers must'curtail Iproduction, o f go out o f business, '* I f this happens, people in the cities will g o without food, and it will- be- because Washing­ ton hap failed- to solve toe nation’s farm production program.” , Mr, Bromfield is no reactionary. He is, he declared, a Democrat who has been, watching tifith increasing alarm the utter lack off understanding o f the farm- problem! evidenced in some ,quarters in Washington. He takes exception | to Secretary Wickard’s oft-re/eated statement: “Food will -win the* war and write the peace.” Mr. Bcornfield's comment is: “ W hatfocd ”. He paints to the grim fact that rationed America today can hardly feed her own population. To toe statement, made by.officials of the War and Navy -Departments, that we must/'hava.amtormy over eleven -million men, Mr, Bromfield takes exception with the same ob­ jection •being made by ex-Fresidcnt Hoover, who also appears in “America's Food Crisis.” “ We could neither ship’ such an afmy overseas,” Bromfield says, “ nor feed it when it got there, Farms are closing down all over ihe country because the draft boards have taken toeir skilled hands, Farmers can’t get fertilizer, farm machinery, or even parts' to repair what they have.” / He has heard* many a good, honest patriotic farmer declare: “My family and I are all right. We will .eat. When the city people ’ haven’t - enough to eat, maybe Washington will do -Some­ thing about this situation,” - The question seems to be, by that time, will it be too late? Rev.

His first effort was with toe West Liberty Gazette but in 1882 he founded the Banner, which lias never missed an issue. The Banner is one o f the few news­ papers published in Ohio that is all “ hand-set” , no type setting machin­ ery. - His- first press was o f the Washington hand 'press type.

He never espaused a cause that Was not fo r toe best inter­ ests o f his county. State, county pal lticians and Candidates courted his support.

Dispatches state eight of- toe largest poultry wholesale houses in Cleveland have closed their doors and similinr stories come from Buffalo, Pittsburgh,1Chicago, Cincinnati, De­ troit and Akron. The shortage o f meat cleaned up all surplus poultry over the nation, as a result o f the New, Deal bungling. The ceiling price lias also held poultry back from farms and large producers.

Perhaps when peace comes again I niay see the job-done.* I .know if no more in­ triguing stage drop, tor a s to ry 'to ■be built around life at its best in America. I have heard that toe bridge in its very-early period was a narrow, two-way . wooden structure: which often gave through with heavy? wagons. Once a great load o f cran­ berries fell through toe flooring’ and fo r months afterwards these bril­ liant red balls were to be observed, either bobbing along with toe swift- currents or whirling aimlessly in the eddies for miles below town. Many local families were without their.fav­ ored Thanksgiving sauce as a result of this mishap. When toe bridge was being re­ built, Dan Haley was killed as the form structure collapsed just as the key stone Was being driven into place. There was a 'Ham just below the bridge in an earlier period, and the site o f the buttments can. still pe discerned in the cliff walls. The race; was carried through.a cut in the lime­ stone which runs- under the site, of the present .Building and Loan Of­ fice. Water power was afforded to run a saw mill, but from very early settlers it was learned that a dis­ tillery was first located at this point. The next business establishment south of toe Crouse Butcher Shop was Bill Townsley’ s Livery Stable. ‘Roxyji* Cafter, a colored b o y . was hostler. It fronted on Main Street* in, what has come to be known as the Doc Lowery Block. The .stable Caught fire, and all but threatened to wipe out the heart of toe village with it, As it was, the fire spread to toe Opera House, and this was destroyed despite toe heroic efforts o f Cedar- ville’s famous hand-pumping fire engine, “Neptune” , and its redoubt­ able crew o f pumpers. Much tra­ dition ha? been confounded about this creti o f fearless fire-eaters. They traveled with Jheir equipment to Col, umbus, Cincinnati and other cities to enter into competition with .more pre­ tentious fire fighting crews, and cop­ ped manV laurels and trophies o f silver nozzles, trumpets, and ornate helmets. These trophies were all lost-in the opera house fire. The men who made up the pumping crew were chosen for, their brawn and stamina. All were virtual giants, not of tlie “ beefy” wrestler showman type, but rangy, cord-muscled men o f toe rail splitting catagory. Some whose names have been handed down, are Ed Van Horn, Joe Van Horh, Bill lliff, Billy Me Farland, Joe White, Will Shull, John Cross, John Ross, Charlie Turnbull, Hugh Turnbull.

Before we go on tie must not forget Jake Alexander’s Blacksftiith.
