R Earl Peters, democratic state chairman, has inaugurated a "dollar a Democrat" campaign which it Is ho|Htl will larg-e finance the ex pens< > of this • r and according to reports of early contributions, it will do mi. The committee has also started an advertising campaign and is giving many evidences of getting so busy during the year that the campaign will be the most interesting end dive conducted in yea.s. — — The owners of the Decatur Country Club have nothing up their sleeves. They are building the place because they love to do things of this kind, because they can see what a wonderful place i’ can be made and because they believe It will grow in value. For every dollar you put in they are putting in one thousand. That looks like a better than fair deal for sou. Mrs. Arnie Semple McPherson, famous Los Angeles evangelist with the power to heal, was kidnapped while bathing at Ocean Park on May 18th.

P. ’V. ’<e< ves, head of the employment department of the state dustrial board stated today. It is seldom. Reeves said, that the farmers and laborers who are seeking employment throughout the state are able to get together and for this reason it is not probable that many of the unemployed will try to 'find places on state farms during the harvest season. Wages are often a point of dissention bteween the farmer and the un- . employed. Reeves stated. The farmers are often unable to pay nearly as large wages aS industries within the cities and the unemployed Choose to ' remain unemployed rather than ac- • cept the best terms the farms can r afford to offer. ; Laborers, such as are found throughout the state at the many employment bureaus, are often unfitted for farm work and could hardly prove of aid 1 to the fa -mer if they couM tftefr J terms.

For that reason they believe that referendums should be held in various states so that the will of the people could be expressed once and for all without affecting any candidate. But the stolid drys are opposed to referendums and there to considerabe dispute over the constitutionality of congress authorising a national referendum on any subject. The Democratic national convention of 1924. however, adopted a plauk endorsing a national referendum on' the la-ague of Nations Issue.
