Anyway it is safer to work here.
Heathens in the county seat, are
not cannibals.
II you want to tell us any news,
or have us find out about any
Morgan county folks, stop US, or
write us, Box 351, McConnelsville.
We extend sympathy to the Noyes
family in the death of their sister.
1t surely was shock. Only few
hours before we had inquired and
was informed she was getting along
nicely.
We are sorry that our former
neighbor, Mrs. Eva Ring, who has
been in poor health for some time,
does not show the Improvements
her friends wish.
It seems that the 20 million bal
ance in the state treasury is not in
the teachers salary fund. With the
majority Mr.. Bricker got in Wind
sor, he should be good to them, but
nay.
Fred Kalb, of Meigs, whom we
spoke of last week as going to
Missouri, came back, then entered
University hospital, Columbus.
Among other things we learned
at Sunday school last Sunday, was
that Jake Maier goes to Sunday
school; also there is still room for
more folks there.
Sunday afternoon we rode with
John Whitney out to his old home
farm. WOrkmen have the house
about ready to place the furnace.
John had thought D. E. Carr. whom
we have mentioned, was dead. Some
folks are dead and still "mosying'
around. No so with Mr.. Carr. He
was very much alive.
While it may not be any of our
business, and need help sometimes
to attend to ours, we want to work
overtime to relate that Saturday
evening in conversing with some
friends, we stated we were going
to Sunday school. One of them ask
ed where we were going. When we
told, she went on to say naming a
certain church "They use you bet
ter. there" which not only led us to
wonder if that could be the reason
it is lonesome in some churches, bnt
also to say, that while some folks
act as though they think they owl
the church, they don't If we meet
anyone who don't act as though
they want to be friendly, we think
perhaps they are backward. Ther
sometimes we are led to believe

Carl Walker who had spent
week in Columbus at the home Of
his son-in-law and daughter, Hon.
and Mrs. X. C. Ray, while receiving
treatment for a heart ailment, re-
turned home Sunday. Not much
change is noted in his physical con-
dition. His physician ordered quiet
and complete rest.
r. H. Ray of the Gertrude Cot
ton place, spent few days here at
his home this week, while nursing
a heavy cold.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Stewart OF
Dungannon, sptnt Sunday at the

Miss Eleanor Barnes spent from
Friday until Monday with Miss
Carol Dewitt of Emery ridge.
Boy Shoots Fox
Leo Shriver of near Emery
church, while out hunting last week
routed a grey fox and killed 1t on
the run with a 20 rifle. Pretty
good shot for Is year old boy. If
he was d lew youAS OluCI VIC Wouiu
suggest that he use that kind OF
craftsmanship on the Japs.
Chases Fox For Seven Hours
For the benefit of Bert Eubanks,
near Millgrove, whom we promised
to keep informed on the activities
of the young fox-hound, barely one
year old, owned by Nick Prouty, OF
the Harry Bozman farm on big
Meigs creek, this hound had here
/ tofore and almost daily been chas-
ing grey foxes in that vicinity un-
til they proved too slow for him and
! he switched to the red fox, which
would give him much longer and
more exciting chase. One day last
week he started and trailed REQ
/ fox for seven hours without halt
/ driving it clear out of that section
or holeing it at some distant point
The hound returned home, active
and ready for another chase.
A Dangerous Statement

having to sign for ration stamps In
order to get his kerosene, declared
that Roosevelt was another Hit
Ter, and this man has SON who
will In the future be eligible to the
draft. We are wondering If this
man should ever have to bow to
Hitler's rule, If he would not be
glad to revise this statement. We
quickly told him that we resented
his statement, but to avoid an ar
gument, we, like the man that was
kicked by a mule, considered the
source, and dropped it there.

O'Neill said his group regretted that
1t was necessary to withdraw from
the conference.
1t is understood that underground
travel time was reckoned by Mr..
ONeill and Mr.. Lewis at 81 so day
for inside men. BY giving outside
workers the benefit of any raise, the
overall average Fer man would be
brought down to about 81 30, in
formed sources said Outside men
constitute from 10 to 20 per cent
OF the total employees.
Mr.. Lewis called the ONeill offer
the first bona fide and construc-
tive offer of new wage agreement"
to emanate from the three months
of conferences.
Mr.. O'Neill's group was estimated
to represent 100000 annual tons
Of soft coal production. The oper-
ators remaining in the conference
turn out IS 100000 tons.
Illinois operators. not connected
with the Appalachian conference,
have offered $4,000 union miners in
that State boost of $3.50 a day

sation. Indiana miners have said
such an offer would suit them.

varied notifications of the plan
originated by Beardsley Ruml,
chairman of the Federal Reserve
Bank Of New York. the compromise
legislation made law today was
brought out by House Senate con-
ference committee.
Representative Knutson. Repub-
lican, of Minnesota. House Republi-
can tax spokesman. described the
approved act as "75 per cent of the
Ruml plan"
The most immediate effects of the
legislation will be felt in the i'm
position of the withholding levy of
20 per cent (after family status de-
ductions) from pay envelopes and
salary checks.
This will not be an additional tax,
but means of current collections
against tax obligations hitherto re-
mitted in annual or quarterly In
stallments. The 20 per cent in
cludes II per cent for income taxes
and 3 per cent for Victory taxes.
There will be no separate collection
of the Victory tax after July l except
for persons subject only to the Vic
tory tax.
Installment Due June IS.
Under the new law each taxpayer
still must pay June Is the second
installment on the Federal income
tax liability as shown in the return
he filed last March.
The March Is and June Is, 1o43
payments then will be treated AS
payments in respect to taxpayers
l943 liability.
For most wage and salary earners
the remainder Of the 1943 obligation
will be collected through the 20 per
cent withholding levy. Persons with
income other than wages and
salary will estimate on September
Is their income for l943, and pay
the remaining liability in two in
stallments September IS and De-
cember Is. Similarly, persons with
wages or salary above the withhold
ing level will estimate on September
IS their total tax for 1943 and pay
that part above the withholding
level, in two installments.
All taxpayers will file final
return on or before next March IS,
and on this return adjustments
will be made for differences between
the estimated or withheld tax and
the correct tax reported by the tax
paYer

West Virginia Owners
Differ on Coal Pact

CHARLESTON, w. Va, June 10
(P).-While one West Virginia coal
operator said he would sign a con-
tract with the United Mine Workers
on the basis of the reported agree
ment between the union and Penn
sylvania owners, other spokesmen
denounced the pact as inflationary.
D. w. Martin, vice president of
the Wyatt Coal Co. in the KanaWha
field, said he was ready to sign with
the UNIV on this basis, bat another
operator in the same field con-
tended that the controversy was
mot settled by long shot,"
Management spokesmen in other
sections of Southern West Virginia,
apparently undisturbed by the re-
ported split in the operators ranks,
expressed the belief that the South
ern association would refuse to
accept any such settlement and
again would put the matter up to
the War Labor Board
West Virginia, the Nations largest
bituminous coal-producing State,
may equal or exceed its record out
put of 1912 despite current con-
tract difficulties, report of the
State Mines Department showed.
The chance for a new record
although threatened by recent shut
downs of operations and the present
negotiation squabble, was based on
a department report covering the
first four months of the year.
Miners in West Virginia have dug
1852, ,032 tons during the January
April period, compared with 50,36l,-
4l6 tons in the corresponding period
of 1912, year in which 156,752 ,599
tons were produced for mark un-
eXcelled in the States history.

choice would have been the same.
To-day Greece is a land of DESC

sentials of living. Thousands have
died of hunger. Thousands are
dying. Today Greece is gaunt and
haggard sample of what the Axis is
so eager and willing to hand all the
world.
But within their own land and
upon other shores the Greeks are
fighting on They will never be
defeated And the day will come
when the liberated Greeks will again

dox Church pronounced the bene-
diction and "bathed' the ship.
