Congress reconvened Tuesday of this week, with a number of important committee meetings scheduled. How­ ever, but little legislative work will be done in either the House or Senate before next* week, at which time the House will have before it the Post- War Highway bill, providing Federal aid for the construction of state high­ ways and farm-to-market roads. There are many rumors floating a- roUnd Washington as to contemplated changes in President Roosevelt’s of­ ficial family within the next few months. Secretary of State Hull is expected to soon retire. It is reported Madam Perkins, Secretary of Labor, will be replaced, and there is consid­ erable talk Postmaster General Walk­ er will soon resign. JUst before the election James Lawrence Fly, Chair- ma o f the Federal Communications, Commission, and long a subject of Congressional investigations, announ­ ced his resignation, effective Nov. 15. There is speculation as to what re­ wards will be given, in the way of pat­ ronage, to those in the more radical groups who-were so active in the Pres­ idential campaign. WATER TABLE .RECEDES— . The water table in Greene County receded 6.01 ■feet during the -three month period of July, August, Sep­ tember according to tabulation of re­ ports made by observers of the Greener County Water Table Survey. These reports are made by farmers through­ out the county who measure the-water level in their wells every three months For‘ the state as a whole the water receded 2.6L feet from July to Oct. 1. As compared with a year previous the state water table on October 1, 19’4„4 was 1.46 feet lower which indicates a subnormal condition. One of the recommendations the President may present to the Con* gress in January will be the establish­ ment of a new Cabinet position to deal with matters of transportation and communication, and to supervise the various governmental agencies now in charge of these important services.

He said-he had not been able to purchase pork, especially bacon in any of the Xenia meat stores and concluded it was- time to eat some ( f his own. With the country full of hogs and no meat on the city counters, it might be a good thing for the city folks to check up with the farmer and break lines with the New Deal. The city folks.that vote CIO are not entitled to have pork and of course the New Deal gives them promises in re­ turn while lend-lease puts pork on the London markets at the expense of .the American income tax payer, who can­ not get pork. .England sells the pork to dealers there and pockets the-mon­ ey. i The Chas.

I. Falconer, rural economist at OSU, reported that the U. S. de­ partment of agriculture estimates that 6.316.000 have left rural areas of the state since Jnn. 1, 1940, The figures include, he said 4,748,- 000 now engaged in war work and 1,* 650.000 called to military service.

R. Leahy, near Fairfield. The board is asked to impound all votes cast, one for annexation and 16 pending a future hearing.

The tabulation shows 17 votes cast, one for annexation and 16 igainst. It is charged ballots were not avail- able until about 1 o'clock p. m. election day and those voting previous to that, time could not express themselves on the issue. It is said the ballots were found later at the wrong precinct. The owners of the land had asked i that the land be annexed to Osborn but the Fairfield village council had a petition before the county commis­ sioners asking annexation; That body has taken no action. Some eighty' persons were entitled to vote in Bath township. Fairfield is repressented by Miller & Finney, the latter being solicitor. Fairfield lays claim to the land due j to the fact,that she is surrounded by Osborn village and government land, except the 29..8 acres in question.

J. Kronauge, Xenia chairman of the Democratic central committee ., The application was accompanied by a $10 cash deposit to cover the cost of^he recount. The Election Board will set a time for the recount. • The official count shows' President Roosevelt carried the precinct 199 to 190 but that James G. Stewart won over Frank Lausche 201 to 176. Taft and Pickrel were tied at 182. All the other Republicans, won according to the returns from the precinct. None of the Democratic committee< members have stated on what grounds they desire a recount. The .‘entire vote for the highest or lowest office in the precinct,would not change the Repub­ lican majority for any office in the county. Neither could it affect- the state or national tickets. Republicans familiar with the court house are not concerned about the proposed recount. In as much as the Democratic Chairman has a civil law suit standing against him in Common Pleas Court for $15,000 damages, due to the death of a former Democratic County Commissioner, Mr. Batdorff, Bath twp. ’ in a motar car accident. The suit has been pending for months and court house officials are curious to know why the Democratic Central Committee chairman does not ask for a hearing.

' Fourteen boys around Alpha had a lot o f , expensive fun Hollowe’en but did not realize ituntil they faced two Xenia judges, minors before Judge McCallister, and the others before Judge Aultman in Municipal Court. Beside private property destroyed there. was damage to a county road roller amounting to $239.85. Gates and farm equipment along with burned shock .corn was part of the fun.

The time, is coming when ap­ plication of the Xenia treatment will be necessary in this community. The public has long been too tolcrent.
