They seem to enjoy that part of the political menu the best. The mayoralty fight in Chicago will get rather hot before election day and the candidates may be hurling yeggs at each other before the finish. The bulls and bears of Wall street are no longer wild and untamed animals. They attract little attention these days which is just as well. It* The county tourney over the t hoys and girls might get down to business and make up for time spent in cheering the athletes on to victory The next couple of • months are important also. , Most of Adams county farmers can stand a week or two of bad ” weather and still be ahead of the average. Never has so much plow- • ing been done at this season and the fields are ready for planting. “ The heavy snow came a little “ late but in many sections of the " country is being heralded as a «b m splendid thing because it assists in «■ a, breaking the drought of the past Z year, worst in all the history of Z this country. Ml • Another reason most folks are • glad that the seventy-first session _ of congress is over is that it conZ eludes the term of Senator Tom Z Heflin, wild eyed gent from Ala--2 bama who talked himself out of «■ the job. Ml Z The public isn’t interested in Z whether Arlene Draves died from • a»-4Utack or an assault but they - -know that she died as the result of TBuses heaped on her by men « older than she and that they ought « to be punished for their terrible «. i _ crime. •* Z It may be decided that tax re- - lief measures are important enough "• that a special session of the legis- • lature is necessary. Even then • there would be no assurance of Z getting them. We ought to forget Z politics long enough to correct Z some of the wrongs which at presZ ent are crippling the state and her •" citizens. Z The bin to repeal the primt-.y • law was pulled back by some Z maneuver and killed in the house, Z so we will proceed next year in the Z same manner as we have for sev- - Week End - Excursions Z via Nickel Plate Road EVERY FRIDAY, - SATURDAY and SUNDAY Return Limit Monday following date of sale.

oral years. The wiud-up of the session seems to have become a frenzy of one house getting even with the other and the acts of 1931 will be one of the smallest In many years. It may be news to those who think the Red Cross doesn’t do any thing with the funds intrusted to them, that during the month of February that organization took care of 2.356 families In Indiana and of two million people in the United States. To feed and doctor that many people requires money and trained assistants. Wo I ought never refuse a request from | the Red Cross. A divided legislature is about the worst thing a state can have, it seems, that is if we want to really make up any changes in the laws. The present session began sixtyone days ago with every apparent intention of lowering taxes and otherwise lifting burdens from the [ shoulders of a tired people. The | first month was devoted to sparr-1 Ing and then when they did get down to business those bills of importance originating with the house democrats were promptly killed in the senate and vice versa. And so the big show closes tonight with a record of little achievement. The Decatur basketball team will represent this county in the regional _ meetihg at Fort Wayne next Saturday and should make a good showing. Whether they win or lose is not as important as it is that they do their best and we are sure

they will do that. The boys have a fine record for the year and during the season have beaten all the teams who will engage in the final tournament which might indicate that they ought to bring home the bacon if they try hard. Much depends on the breaks. The tourney here was interesting and unusual in numerous ways and the fans all got a lot of thrills. Amid the welter of conflicting opinion as to business recovery, one fact stands out —business will improve — but only as the inefficiencies encouraged by boom times disappear. Prosperity breeds inefficient methods, inefficient workmen, inefficient management, inefficient firms. To this extent, therefore, depressions are healthy. Concerns which recognized this truth and adjusted their business structure during 1930 are prepared to go ahead in 1931. Such firms are offering attractive merchandise, attractively priced. They are increasing their advertising appropriations. These firms will survive. More than that, they will grow.—Nation's Business. o In The Legislature * 50 Years Ago ♦ (U.PJ ♦ A special session of the legislature was called by Governor Albert G. Porter in 1881, primarily to effect a revision of the taxation laws. The legislators had spent almost the entire session considering new sources of revenue and recodification of taxing laws without result. The day before the regular session closed, Governor Porter issued a proclamation to the special session pointing out that the following problems still remained to be dealt with: “General appropriation bills; spe cific appropriations bill to levy annual tax for raising revenue for the state: appropriation for continuing work on the new statehouse; the bill revising the taxation system; and many other questions of more or less importance.” The session convened at 9:00 A. M. Tuesday March 8. o * Modern Etiquette j By ROBERTA LEE * (U.R) -♦ Q. At what time is a man obliged to pay a woman's fare on street car or bus? A. Only when lie is her escort; never otherwise. Q.

Fremount, Mich. o ■ — QUAKE CAUSES GREAT DAMAGE .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) plete death toll of 43 was announced by the government, which said at least 700 had been injured. Nine villages, including Udovo, were destroyed, the message said. There was a total of 24 shocks. Landslides hampered the penetration of relief parties Into the stricken district. Eye witnesses told the United Tress correspondent here, via a repaired telephonic connection from OJevgjelija that 99 persons were known dead and 150 persons were seriously injured. The population, afraid to enter houses, spent the night in the streets and squares, huddled around fires and protected by canvas from extreme cold and a hard rain. Towns and villages were wrecked or greatly damaged. There was a shortage of water in some districts and an immediate danger of greater suffering through lack of food, clothing, shelter and medical attention throughout the stricken region. King Alexander, whose royal estates at Demir-Capija were damaged, went to the scene of the quakes to take personal charge of relief work. He was accompanied by General peter Zivkovits, the prem-ier-dictator. Hundreds of persons were injui* ed in the quakes, which have occurred at intervals since last Friday. Heavy rain in several sections added to the suffering of thousands of homeless persons. The afflicted region is sparsely settled, although it is traversed by the Belgrade-Athens line. The fact that buildings were not concentrated in large towns was believed to have prevented a much larger death toll. The ground split, open, railroad lines were disrupted, houses collapsed and the inhabitants ran out in their night clothes, terror-strick-en by the rumbling, undergound explosions and the shaking of the earth. At least 1,000 houses were reported demolished or damaged in Strumitza, which is about 10 miles offthe railroad line, near the Bulgarian border. Strumitza is one of the largest towns in the district. All communications were disrupted and a thorough survey of the devastated region was difficult.

Severe cold, added to the suffering of the refugees. The earthquakes, some of which were felt throughout the nation, began last Thursday night and continued at intervals until Friday morning at dawn. After a period in which the population began to calm and relief, work was started, the quakes were renewed with increasing violence early Sunday. o BAPTIST WOMEN TO MEET HERE (CONTINUiD FROM PAGE ONE) Mrs. Floyd Smith of Warren.

Bird’s-EyeView Os Legislature From Dick’s Desk (Written by Dick Heller, chief clerk of the House) — — 11. '

The seventy - seventh General | Assembly of the state of Indiana j | will pass into history sometime 11 between midnight tonight and j i Tuesday noon. Several problems I of state will be solved during the i last minute rush and with the I passing of vital legislation a number of minor acts will be slipped through both Houses and will become laws. , Saturday saw the pruning down of a mass of proposed legislation. The abolishment of the primary | system was killed in the House, and the corporation income tax poposal was whipped in the Senate. A conference committee is working on the income tax proposal and Democrat members of both houses are planning on inserting the corporation tax plan into the conference report on the ; income tax plan.

The budget bill, which must be ! passed to prevent a special session | ( is ready to be returned to the | House after spending a restless | two days in the Senate during which time several more millions I of dollars were put under the knife. of economy. The reapportionment bill is in onference committee and it is believed highly probable that a plan satisfactory to both political parties will bte worked out. The present plan places Adams county along with Wells in what is now j the twelfth congressional district. I If this plan goes through unaltered, Adams county will be in a Democratic district.
