Nevertheless, he did have a real peeve on.’ <His words may not have been quite as strong as those used a t, his famous press conference following the Su­ preme Court decision outlawing the N. R. A., but it did give the press ip, general, and newspaper reporters and columnists in particular, a verbal lambasting. According to the Pres­ ident, the press, and the reporters and columnists serving it, ai;e responsible for most of tile troubles of the. Ad­ ministration. He broadly intimated tha t the newspapers—and the radio, too,, in a lesser degree—have not given him and his Administration proper support on the home front, and indi­ cated that everything would now be quite lovely had such been done. Of course, the people ,will have to judge fo r themselves whether ''independent Administration’s bureaucratic press agents have been telling, the truth a- bftut conditions in Washington.

Incidentally,! ?uit filed by Bello Brewer Corry and the Davis resignation was predicted -ithers against Bessie Brewer Waddle in this column three weeks ago. Davis who is one of the most outstanding agriculture authorities in America, , was drafted by the President to serve as War Food Administrator, hut was given p a real authority to fix policies. I t is said that he was not even con­ sulted before the Administration’s subsidy and rollback program was announced.**For some time Davis had ' been pointing out the weaknesses and dangers of divided, control of the food program. He also opposed price , rollbacks and the payment of sub­ sidies to distributors and consumers. At the time his resignation was ac­ cepted, Congress had before it sev­ eral bills to concentrate all authority . .over the production, distribution, ra­ tioning and priceitlg of food in the hands of Mr. Davis. The President opposed this legislation. Davis is out, and. in hisf place the President has named Marvin Jones of Texas, formerly chairman of the House Com­ mittee on agriculture. In that po­ sition he.sponsored most of the New Deal legislation affecting agriculture, Mr. Jones is a fine gentleman and well liked by most of his former col­ leagues, but is generally conceded to be a Presidential "Yes Man." and others. GRANT DIVORCES .Divorces Were granted John E, Os­ borne from Dorothy E, Osborne} Glen -Smjth from Mildred Smith and Jen­ nie Upton from Newton Upton. CASE RE-OPENED. The suit of Eileen McCalmont a- gainst Robert McCalmont, which was nadyertently dismissed, has been re. opened. SUITS DISMISSED The suit of Bert Feike against Wil­ lard Inwood has been ,dismissed and the case of Gladys V. Jacobs against Donald D. Jacobs also has been dis­ missed. APPRAISALS The following estates were ap­ praised in probate court: E. W. Powell: gross, $5,400; de­ ductions, $3,564.49; net, $1,835.51. Ellis Simpson: gross, $140; deduc­ tions, not listed; net, $140. The Administration’s plan to guar- anted a sufficient food supply with controlled prices, through the roll­ back and subsidy program, will be given a fair trial as a result of the President’s vetoing the Commodity Credit Corporation Bill last *Friday. This bill, which made appropriations for the Commodity Credit Corporation also contained a prohibition against the use of Government funds'for the payment of subsidies, with the ex­ ception of $150,600,006 to carry out commitments already made to pro­ ducers and packers on certain food crops. Under the Constitution, a two thirds or two to one —, vote is nec­ essary to override a Presidential veto and enact a legislative measure into law. On the question of enacting1the Commodity- Credit Corporation Bill with the prohibition against subsidy payments, over the objections of the President, 228 Members of the House voted in favor of overriding the veto and 164 voted against. So while heavy majority was cast against the President*# program, the two-thirds vote needed to override the veto was not obtained, and the hill was there­ fore killed, A' simple resolution con- tinning the life of the Commodity Credit Corporation until January 1944, and providing funds, for the operation of the agency on the same basis as during the past fiscal year, has been adopted as a ' temporary measure until the Congress can de temiine the sucees or failure* of the Administration’s price rollback am subsidy program; As a result of Veto, the President assumes r io lp e aponsibitity for obtaining a food supply, holding down APPOINTMENTS -Marie Johnson was appointed ad­ ministratrix of the estate of James F. Newby, late of Yellow Springs, under 1200 bond; Walter Cultice was named administrator of the estate of Mar­ garet M. .Hagler, late of Xenia,, under $10,000 bond; Eidora Gano was ap pointed executrix of the estate of Charles Gano, late of Fairfield, under $1,000 bond. Folks greet each other with, "Isn’t this a fine day?" knowing full well, th a t. no one could disagree, with so evident a fact, Or if it is a rainy day, the comment is-made to suit the occasion. Now wg are beginning to have another seasonal greeting, and that is, “Well are we going to have a Fair this year?” And sure enough, if nothing beyond the control of the Fair Board occurs to mar; we do plan to hold the 104th annual Greene County Faff. , Just think anout the 104th part a minute. ,How many institutions can you name that have lasted one hun­ dred, or even fifty years? . I t is something to be proud of, that county and town folks like to get together once a- year, for advertising purposes, fo r exhibiting the results of the- toil which they believe to have been worth the effort, for good, honest .neighborly isiting. This year we have an added and a very solemn reason for holding this annual event. Our men, husbands, sons and brothers are a t war. We too, can help wit that struggle by producing, conserving and utilizing every bit of food possible, to feed oUr men in service, our allies and our home-workers, Not one of this chain could function without all the others. The sunburned farm man is doing his utmost to produce to the limit. The Worker in the defense plant that turnB out war materials and ammunition, is doing his share. Every single soul in this country, that is well and able should have somy duty that is help­ ing in this conflict. If he does not, let him, keep his good Amercan eyes open'for that duty, for there is so much to bo done, that each of us must help. The Greene County Fair Board is trying to do all it can to further all war service, to encourage the higher and better production of food pad fibres, to keep our morale and Amer­ ican spirit to the high plane that has been achieved by aur forefathers. Let us make this the best Greene County Fair on record. SALES ORDERED Louise Alien, as executrix of the estate of Elizabeth M.

Congress Gives Burial To Mrs.FDR’s Pet Congress quietly and with afore­ thought' gave the New Deal NYA decent burial this week when refusal was made to continue granting funds other than $3,600,000 to pay for plos- ing up the work by the first of the year. Congress has been faced with con­ tinued complaints of how money was wasted and the lunatic fringe was using the institution to preach alien doctrine—at least not democracy as it was originally known; The organi­ zation had Mrs. Roosevelt’s blessing but that was ignored’by' leaders fn both political parties, ** Wilberforce NYA ^Geriter'"will' "Sis discontinued now that ..funds have been denied and no one is so inter­ ested as to carry on the work without being paid, What will become of tbe camp buildings has not been announ­ ced but in some places they have been offered for. sale. Congress also abolished another Roosevelt pet scheme that provided the aged uncle of FDR with a- fat salary as chairman. The salary is said to *have Been $18,000 and ex­ penses. The bureau was known as the XYZ and is said to have had no value other than providing a member o f the family with a soft job a t the expense of the income tax payers. Reports out of Washington sjrty that by dropping the NYA Congress abolished more than 12,500 employees from the government payroll. Hun­ dreds of the employees were subject to the draft and had not been called for reasons best known to the admin­ istration, ' Congress abolished the McDuffey Coal- Control Act which, fixed the prices of coal and some 5,000 more Democratic politicians must seek new jobs.- The det was passed several years ago when the administration and John L. Lewis planned for the government to increase the price of coal to consumers whenever (there was an increase in the wages of min. ers, Lewis and Roosevelt have since broken and as the government has taken over the mines there was no longer any need of the law nor the 5,000 on government salary, BRICKER IS . PROSPECTFOR , NOMINATION .Reports out of Washington indicaje the/Ohio Republican .delegation is be­ hind John W. Bricker for the Repub­ lican presidential nomination, regard­ less of the New Deal straw polls which would indicate Bricker was not in the race. With the Willkie following largely New Dealers, the one time nominee is being touted as the logical nominee for the Republican ticket but from a party standpoint be has no >chance, and is regarded now as a stalking- horse for Rposevelt, The Governor has not started ring-; ing door-hells” and probably will not. His campaign is young and ha£ the. leaders and. the hacking not only of outstanding Republican# and old line. Democrats who are sick of the New. Deal and feel their party has been traded for the Communistic fringe1 now on government payroll. Ohio Democratic leaders a t a re­ cent meeting in Columbus a t the time! pf the convention of the 48 governors,. Wore fa r from being pleased over’ prospects even for county offices and! little or no hope, of carrying, the state. Ih e Democrats know the farm ele­ ment is anything' but warm to the' New Deal,. Rationing and j>rice con­ trol has upset even the Democratic business man. Ohio Democrats have not been getting, desired federal pat­ ronage, this has been going to Willkie followers. The Democrats were much disturbed over the action of the Methodist Conference Where senti­ ment was said to have been 99 pen cent fpr Bricker'for cither governor or president. .Worse still tjie conven-1 tiori went on record against the NeW Deal using the war situation to cover up political ’manuevering. Some views expressed by the Ohio Republican delegation concerning Gotf Bricker are expressed by Congress­ man Jenkins and others. Rep. Thomas A. Jenkins, dean of the Ohio delegation, flatly predicted Bricker’s nomination and election had said that t h a t , statemettt “will give you an idea of Mr. Roosevelt’s chances to stay in the presidential chair.” , / Rep, Clarence Brown, himself form­ er lieutenant-governor of Ohio, called Bricker “the leading candidate, iti spite of what ,some of the polls may show to the contrary.” Brown concurred with Jenkins that President Roosevelt “canft be elected 1944 because he’ll lose everyone of the questionable states”. Likewise optimistic over Brickpr’s presidential possibilities was Rep, P, W. Griffiths who declared1that "the people want an American president’’ and observed that Bricker will not only be nominated by the Republicans ljut elected by Republicans and Dem1 ocrats. ^ President Roosevelt; he said, won’t be re-elected because ' although the New Dealers might want him back; the old Democrats don’t.” 1 Commenting on criticusms that Bricker has not yet outlined his pol­ icies, Congresswoman Frances P. Bolton asked “why should he?” There is plenty of time, she said, for that. “Gov. Bricker certainly isn’t out of the picture in the presidential face” she declared.

HERE ON IS DAY FURLOUGH The variety testing wheat plots were harvested at the Wilmington college field this week, uhder the di­ rection of Dr. C. A. Lamb of the ag­ ronomy department of the Ohio state experiment station. 4 Five common varieties were grown in triplicate on' 1.45 acre plot#, to give an average of conditions, The varieties tested and tbe yield of each were as follows: Hybrid selectioh No. 9 H. S. 9), first, with an average yield of 41.5 bushels per acre; Fulbio, second, with 36,6 bushels per acre; Thorne, third, with 36,33 bushels per acre; Trumbull, fourth, with 34,9 bu­ shels per acre, and Gladden, fifth; with 33,0 bushels, per acre. Last year Thorne Tanked first with a yield of 45,1 bushels per acre, anci H. S. 9 second, with a yield of 41.6 bushels per acre, which is identical with its average yield for this sea­ son. The. plots were located In the col lege garden, where the soil is very fertile, accounting partially for the high yields. A fertilization Of 306 pounds of 0-14-7 was used per acre. All varieties suffered a little from winter killipg. All varieties were af­ fected by the scab, but not to the ex­ tent,that many fields in Clintoxt coun­ ty were affected. Much complaint has come from various sections Where the wheat followed corn.
