It shows that 1 we live in a splendid community 1 where we want every one to be happy 1 and where we do things to make them 1 so. For several years tramps were al ; most unknown in this section of Hi l ' < loiinlr. . but recently they have be- I come quite numerous and each day I !*» tan pick out a dozen or so. 11 slouching along the streets. They are a nuisance and a bad thing for ! any community to tolerate. They I frighten women and children and they 1 certainly do no good. (inkers should 1 direct them to move along or go to ( work.

end and for a century and perhaps longer wise grafters have made money out of such preaching. Just now a cult of some kiwi and name in the east is prospering under a leader who dec!ires the world will end at midnight of February 6th and that only those who become his diciplea will be saved. He declares that there are 1 16.0(10 on his list now, each of whom has sold ail ids property and turned the money over to him. Like the conductor of world tours he will pay all expenses and furnish accoin- i modations on the trip along the Styx. On the morning of February 7th a lot of people are going to be fooled one way or the other. The proper way of course is to be prepared but its a sure thing that this supposedly chosen bird is a King Ben guy who believes in getting the money, in <;e e there should be change of dates in lhe'sworld closing schedule. 0 j Big Features CM: J j RADIO : ) Programs Today ( WEDNESDAY'S'BEST RADIO WEAF, New York, 492-M: WEAK, Pittsburg, 162-M; WGR.

George Clark, a member of the Indiana state motor police, was detailed to escort thff bus and was a wit-' ness to the arrest, according to Sen >tor Hill, of Carthago, who yester- | day introduced a bill in the senate to strike back at Ohio drivers. Senator Hill’s bill would require the arrest of Ohio drivers operating in Indiana without Indiana licenses until such time as Ohio authorities grant Indiana drivers the privilege of operating in Ohio without Ohio li censes. Senator Hill points out that Ohio drivers coming across the Indiana line are permitted to operate unmolested. while wholesale arrests of Indiana drivers in Ohio have been made. 0 _ Morris Company Buys Its Twenty-Seventh Store Th Morris Five and Ten cent stdre company, of Bluffton, which lias a store in this city, has purchased a I business block in Henderson, Ken I I'iky, in which >be company's tw .• I .' seventh store will be. opened as' ; <>on as necessary remodeling is done | rbc company will move its store in ■his city from its present location on!

(UNITED PRESS SERVICE) ■ Indianapolis, J«n M-(Speei«l to Daily Democrat)—Warrack Wallace of Indianapolis today was elected trustee in bankruptcy for the Hawk ins Mortgage Company, of Portland. I Ind., at a meeting of 100 creditors here today. Claims of all creditors including, Btockhohbrs lotted (4.000.000 a» cording to Lew Wallace, receiver for the Portland firm. i The creditors were toid that ouly $20,000 of the assets of the company have been recovered and that the | remainder will have to be obtained , through litigation. 1 The trustee expects to be able to ' pay ten cents on the dollar. . ... —— o State Wheat Growers Who Pooled Wheat Gets Checks Indianapolis, Jan. 28. —Checks totaling $552,528.61 were on their way to or in the hands of 4.169 Indiana wheat growers who pooled their crop with the Indiana YVheat Growers Association. it was announced today at ; the offices of the associaion. 16 North ■ Senate Avenue. Indianapolis. The checks represent a distribution of 40 t cents a bushel for all wheat deliver- ' cd to the association by members up ' to December 31. and the second dis--1 tribution since the advance payment , was made last fall. The 40 cents a I bushel brings the total price paid to the poolers to $1.25 a bushel on the basis of No. 2 wheat. Additional distributions will be made in Apr ! and June, as it is expected that tile books for the first year's operation of the Indiana pfiol will be closed at the eml of the latter month. The largest check sent out for this distribution ! was for $1,540.20 and the smallest for $3.58. “Seventy-five per cent of all the ■ wheat grown in Indiana last year was moved to market from threshing machines when the price ranged from $1 to $1.25 a bushel,’’ said a statement issued by Herman Steen, sccrc tary of the association. "It is prob able that the average price received by the farmers of the state for this bulk of the crop was around $1.15 a bushel. When it is taken into consideration that the poolers now have re ccivcd substantially more than the state farm price average, and that these poolers still have an interest in a large volume of wheat still in the hands of the association, the position of the members of the association, compared to that of the farmers who were forced by need of funds to mar,ket their wheat at the time of threshing, can readily be appreciated." — 0 SPORT TABS , (IMTED I'Kl-’.SS SERVB’I?)
