It takes but five dollars and means much more than that to you. It’s what we do working together that ' counts and this year is when the I best results should be obtained. . — Julius Barnes says the business horizon is clearing, but Julius is the chairman of President Hoover's business survey conference and so we take it with a grain of salt for it may be "father to the wish." Senator Caraway of Arkansas won his point by putting over a resolution providing that five million dollars may he loaned to farmers in the drought district without security. Seems right for surely they’are ones really in greatest need. Europe is suffering from a severe | snow storm and out in the Fijij Islands they are dodging hurri- ‘ canes and terrific rain. We ought j to be thankful in thio country fori the weather of the past several , months, but most of us can’t be for , worrying about when and how we | arf Soing to pay for it. Sheriff Zimmerman and his deputy of Toledo. Ohio, are under ar-l •rest for bribery in connection with ' the purchase of supplies for the | jail. There are a couple of dozen charges against them and it looks like they were in a tight squeeze. Thej»-<>iight to he for about the I M worst thing we know of is a dis- • honest public official. „ Seme one is trying to make some one .believe that Al Capone is not • the boss of his gang but is the ’ “fall guy" who takes the response ; bility and gets paid accordingly. • Well, some one has lie the “big » shot" and we still believe it is Al . rather than some of the super ’ gangsters as now intimated. What’s " the difference? Whoever it is will " probably continue to get away with '■ it until something happens. ■ The assessors are a' work again. - There is a rather difficult job and » sometimes quite unpleasant.

.considerably what your tax rate I will be next year. If we are all i fair and honest, the job of the assessor will be easier and the results more satisfactory. When the New York World quit business the other day the validlctory closed with a quotation from Pilgrim’s Progress as follows: “Though with great difficulty I got thither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble 1 had been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it." Tlie senate has passed an antiI riinary bill which as we understand, provides for county convention instead. That would seem queer here where we have always held primaries to nominate county officials, that is the democratic party has and since they have always been in the majority here these events have become as interesting as elections. While the primary system in counties may not be perfect they are over a period of years more satisfactory than conventions where a few leaders soon gain and hold control. We have often wondered what the real feelings of a legislator was about this time of a session land tlie query has been answered !by Senator Harry Williams, editor I of the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. I who desribes it this way: “The Indiana legislature will have a busy time of it this week. The biennial session of the general assembly closes one week from today. Many important bills have come before the session and few of them have been disposed*of to date. It is an < asy matter to cuss the legislature. Yet the men who compose that body have a real job on their hands. They are expected in a period of sixty days to settle all cf the problems of the state and settle them right. It is humanly impossible. There is no question but that I incut of the legislators take their [ wot*k seriously. They have the I welfare of the state and the people lat heart, but in the midst of so I many ccnflicting interests and so much difference of opinion on the . part of the voters as to what the : laws ought to be. the solons must |often feel as Pontius Pilate did | when he asked: ’What is truth?’" 0 _ 4 4 In The Legislature 50 Years Ago > (U.R) ♦ The House of Representatives in he 1881 legislature was inclined to be charitable Howards the Speaker of the House but the Senate was more conservative. A bill was introduced and passed in the House prbIviding for an increase in the Speakers salary of from $5 a day to $lO. senators frowned upon the extra I vagance .however, and reduced the , proposed salary increase to $8 a day. T is amendment was grudgingly concurred in by the Represen tatives after the bill was sent to conference committee. A salary increase for the speakr resulted also in an increase for ihe Present of the senate, a position held by tlie Lieutenant Governor, as tlie statutes provide that the two positions shall be paid in equal amourt. In later years tlie increase to $lO was affecte dand in tlie 1931 session, the seaker and tlie president of the senate received sl2 a day and members of both houses received $lO a day. o [ 4 —- 4 Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE ♦— — (U.R) -♦ The Clothesline If the clothesline is stretched in the laundry and the clothes pinned to it. then transferee! to the yard there will be less exposure to the cold and a saving of time in hanging.

I 4 « IKEY’S HOT SPARKS Protecting the public by tuning >ut a vicious animal to roam at will would be as sensible as giving liquor dealers more Hlierty in ordr to keep them under control. In a good many minds the idea xists, that the wide spread disrespect for the 18th amendment Is ausing a nation wide disrespect or all laws, If this is true, common sense should teach us that by 'inching the public to respect the 18th amendment, will bring about greater respect for all other laws. Lowering the fences and removing half of the line posts will not keep breechy stink from destroying our neighbor’s crops. The composition of the liquor business is not to obey, >'Ut to destroy. Promoters of this business never have nor never will obey any law therefore we might just as well fight it out now and save future generations from the curse if gaunt liquor stores. Human suffering can not be measured by the foot rule of dollars and cents. It will cost more to enforce the 18th amendment beiause it is worth more. If our officers have become so corrupt that they have no respect for their oath of office it would be much (letter to discharge such officers and fill their vacancies with men who have a conscience, nstead of breaking /down our moral laws. Instead of the 18th amendment taking away our personal liberty it gives us more liberty by protecting children and motorists on the highways from the onslaught of drunken drivers. Men who are crying out loud and long that the 18th amendment is a failure, are doing all they can to break down in a dirty underhanded way one of the most constructive laws ever placed on our statute books. Could we trust a group of men that would ruin us financially to help us make another fortune? If not, how can we trust the liquor element that is trying to break down the 18th amendment for a law that would be half as good? CYCLONE IKEY.

CHANNEL MARKERS IN THE earlier days of this country, spending the family budget used to be a hazardous business. It was only by harsh experience that a householder learned to steer clear of bad bargains and come into port with his money’s worth. There were snags and shoals aplenty. Inferior goods and unscrupu ous merchandising methods made the channel dangerous. “Let the buyer beware” was an accepted slogan of trade. fortunately for millions of consumers, this condition has wholly changed in more recent years. The channel has been charted. Today advertised, trademarked goods of known value are for sale in every city and hamlet, the buyer knows he can trust such products. He reads the advertisements in his paper, chooses the commodities he needs, and makes his purchases with the knowledge that he will get- full value for his outlay. The advertising columns of this newspaper point the way to satisfaction. If you make it a habit to read them daily you will save money, and save time.
