If yon can afford it you certainly should not hesitate. Blufftoon suffered another severe loss, a hundred thousand dollar fire which destroyed the largest department store there. Seems as though they have more than their share of misfortune lately. Mr. Bailey of Pennsylvania has shipped twenty-eight head of as fine horses as you every saw from Adams county to his home. He says there is a good market for good horses and when ho wants them he comes here to get them. That sounds like old Units, doesn't it?’ New Zealand had a bad old earthquake and two hundred are known to be dead. The Pacific coAst was swept by a terrific rain storm and there are other indications that we may be entering a period of disaster. Well, most of u«- have reached the point where nothing surprises us greatly. The old ag ■ pension law which passed the house ten days ago sb£ms to be lost in a pigeon hole ifi the senate and the tax payers of Indiana will be better off if they lose the pigeon hole. Such a law would wreck about every county in the state before they got very far ’ with it. We can't bi lieve the legislature will be foolish enough to pass the Fort Wayne bill asking for absolute control over rivers which enter that city, for a distance of tw’cntylive miles. That might turn out to be a serious thing for other towns besides Decatur and we are sure it would not be used fairly so far a» this city is concerned. ’A lot of the fellows in the legislature se m to think that if they iirtroduce bills for every thing asked for they have done their duty and who will say they haven't worked faithfully at that job? Looks like a jam anil perhaps that may be a good thing. It may result in a lot of rubbish being lost in the shuffle. George Akerson, first secretary to the president has left his disk and while he declares he does so with regret we imagine he secretly feels a certain joyfulness that he is getting away from all the responsibilities the job carries.

will go into tile picture business which Will Hays has proven is much more successful than politics from a financial viewpoint. The first bill signed by Governor Leslie since the 1931 session of the legislature opened was that to prevent sheriff sales except as to deliquent tax and penalties and providing the delinquents may redeem their properties by paying the tax with six per cent Interest. That will no doubt help a number of people who have been caught in the depression one way or another. Owen D. Young, prominently mentioned as a democratic possibility for the presidency has submitted ap lan to aid World War veterans. His idea is to give aid to those who actually need it without drawing on the federal treasury for the entire amount. There is no doubt that would benefit many of the boys. Mr. Young was also the originator of what is known as the Dawes plan and is ' the chairman of the General Eire- 1 trie board. Billy Sunday, famed evangelist, will make a three-week tour to talk prohibition and Fort Wayne is in-1 eluded in his itinery for April 15th. I His talk will be interesting and effective and we believe that the fact that there has been so little talk of temperance since the eighteenth amendment is one of the reasons for the great increase ( in law violations. We haven't any i idea what Billy will say but it will 1 probably be plenty for he's that kind of a gent. t __________ 1 Warren T. McCray, once Gover- t nor of Indiana, visited the legislature yesterday and was received 1 with cheers in both houses. He ] replied with an appeal for the re- < duction of taxes, especially on farm lands. That's a sensible request but the trouble is it doesn't provide any way to do it and that's what seems to be the trouble. We aye of .opinion that a great majority of members of the assembly want to do that very thing but don't know how and can't find any one who does. Only one-tenth of the Adams : county quoto for the Red Cross campaign for drought sufferers has been reported so far. That doesn't seem just right here where such requests have always been prompt-I ly met. The leaders do not care I Io make a drive for the funds, feel-1 Ing that if every one is given the' opportunity to subscribe a suffi-1 cient sum can be raised. They however are somewhat discouraged and would appreciate a little extra, [effort on the part of every one. I Suffering is intense in certain sec- [ tions it is claimed, women and chil-; dren are actually suffering for! food. Surely the good citizens of [ America will not permit that con-1 diLion to continue. _ _ZT_ J twenty years ago today From the Dally Democrat File | , I • - ■■■ — ■■■ ■ — — j Feb. 6—Wilbur Porter is attending the automobile show in Chicago. 1 Miss Rose Confer goes to Cleveland.
