We are proud of it. i I For seveuten years -it lias each year paid large sums to the farmers and provided employment for hundreds. Unless more beets are raised the coming year than have been for two or three years past, the probabilities are that it will not be continued. That ought to interest every person who wants to see Adams county prosper and go forward. Help get the desired acreage. Talk beets and show the farmer how he can help himself and his community. Taxes will be taxes no difference how you pay them but there is probably an easier way to take it than by direct tax against real estate which now provides the greater proportion of funds now raised. For instance we pay about twenty million dollars in Indiana through gasoline and auto license taxes. If we paid that direct and twice a year as we do the others we would squeal but paying it in dribs we don't notice it so much though it comes out of the years budget just the same. However there are a number of people in Indiana who have large Incomes and pay no taxes to speak of. Some plan to make them carry their share ought to be worked out. Don’t let the Willshire road proposition get cold boys. We have learned from experience that those who step on the gas are the ones who get somewhere with the state commission. Those who push their claims naturally get more attention ani| quicker action. The highway commission has signified their interest by recognizing the petition forwarded and putting the road as a tentative one on their map. Two thousand miles have been added under the same method. Now those who get busy and stay that way will get the earliest action. Its time to go after this additional eight miles to the state system in Adams county. * Then boys in Adams county's beet club raised an average of nearly seventeen tons to the acre, a wonderful showing and one that ought to convince a lot of folks that real money can be made from this crop. Two of the boys produced more than twenty tons per acre which at $8.25 per ton brought an income of more than the land can be sold for. The average for the ten was something like $137 per acre. It is doubtful if such a sum can be derived from our ground in this locality by any oth*er means and if we had five thousand acres and a fair break in the weather in 1930 it would make a great difference in the county's income. Acreage contracts are now being taken and we are hoping for some real enthusiasm along this line. Brokers’ loans, which reached nearly $7,000,000,000 on October 2, are now down to about half that figure. Thus half the money with which the stock market was engaged in gambling on stock margins is released for constructive work. Maybe it is wortn while to have a stock panic to gain this result. It must be, in the long run. With those billions, and the additional billions poured into the game by corporations and individual capitalists, the stock exchange was running like a clock with the pendulum off. Gambling became the leading American industry. Now, with that institution brought under control and reduced for the most part to normal and legitimate tiading, the country is inclined to settle down to regular work, and has the money and credit to do it with. _____ 0 — Cafeteria Supper, Reformet church parlors, Saturday from live to,seven.

BALLOONISTS LAND SAFELY Jump From Torn Army Balloon; Four Soldiers Unharmed Fort Sill, Okla., Nov. 26. — (U.R) — Bursting of an army baloon more than a mile in the air started four soldier balloonists on a dizzy plunge toward deatli but they "cleared the ship" of wreckage and leaped with their parachutes simultaneously to come down safely yesterday. "Just a matter of training under emergency,’’ explained Lieut. John Caddo today. With him in the basket of the big bag yesterday were Lieutenants E. .4. Fogelsonger and J. W. McAuley and Sergt. Mansfield. At 6,200 feet, the pressure on the 32,000 cubic foot baloon proved too great and it burst. With the gas whisling through rents in the fabric, the craft started downI ward, flaps of fabric and ropes closing In on the trapped sky sailors. “Every man to his post, let’s clear the ship," shouted Lieut. Caddo as the wreckage plunged crazily earthward, at the mercy of the terrific wind that had driven the balloon to such height. Coolly, despite the peril, the men battled with the flapping envelope and the ropes tangled over them. When they had cleared away, each leaped up onto the rim of the basket; "All together, jump!" shouted Caddo. All four came to earth within a half mile area. They had hardly gathered up their parachutes when the deflated balloon settled down, it was stowed away on a truck and driven back to the fort.
