He is charged with I a lot of things that really don't I •Sound just exactly good etiquette for a chief executive, including Cvery thing from moral delinquency to conspiracy to defraud the state, ktcunds interesting. ” The Catholic high school annual. | “Tattler,” is on the market and from remarks we have . heard, is pleasing all who are interested in -Ute schools. It is a splendidly .edited book, properly illustrated ,ind with many unique features. Its editors and managers and all aided deserve commendation for their splendid 1931 edition. Governor Woodring, Kansas' genial bachelor executive, was the chief speaker at the recent con i vention in Topeka of business and | professional women s clubs.

Another roarback to the SmootHawley tariff law which has all but ruined this country came yesterday when Canada pur into effect a re- ; lalitory tariff law that boosts the j rates on two hundred products as j 1 much as forty per cent. Something { i else for the administration to ex- | plain. Many of the rates strike (directly at the farmer's pocket book lit is said. Can you beat it? Wish they would get that Kirkland case settled. Sentenced fori i lite, he was granted a new trial. ' The second jury convicted him of I I assault with intent and he was sen-1 I tenets! one to ten year. They now i discover that he should have re- ' ceived five to twenty-one and now the court reopens the case and he | is returned from prison. They will fool around until he is released and I then he may demand damages for I the loss of time. About the oply way to assure | work is to award the contracts to I i work is to award* he contracts to | iocal men. They , employ Adams I county men exclusively. In other I counties it is almost useless for outsiders to try to get jobs. One [ i local contractor who was low bid- ] der on a job in Ohio which was let Monday, lost out, although he was I i $2,000 under on a $14,000 contract. I , When the bids are close the work should be awarded the iocal man or new bids asked. Any way that's I I what is being done in most places, i Improvement of the road between 1 ■ Decatur and Willshire would be one [of the mest valuable that could [ i happen for this city for it is one of the most important highways i leading here, bringing much trade | land being used extensively by tourists. While it has been tentatively [ i taken over by the state it will probably be several years before any! i improvement can be made by them i and in the meantime the travel] would be necessarily diverted other ' i ways. It should be done by all I | means if as we understand the cost would be moderate. e i Out driving the headlights is tine j iof the dangers of motoring after ■ dark. To guard against such danger it is recommended that the car j [ owner find the average distance the lights illuminate the road and deI termine the speed from which the car can be brought to a standstill ' in this distance. This will give an I idea of the maximum speed at } which the car can be driven safey i at night with its present headlight equipment. The Safety Department | |of the A. A; A. finds that even I i where the lamps cast their rays j j ahead as much as 200 feet, a speed | of fifty miles per hour is hazardous. i A car going at this speed could not I be stopped within 200 feet. Head- I light testing stations are now main- | tained by virtually all well-equip- | ped garages and the thoughtful ! motorist will have the lights of the ; car tested in preparation for its maximum use with the advent of warmer weather. — The Hoosier ; Motorist. o— — *~twenty7yea rs " * AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File • • June 3—President Taft explains iiis Canadian reciptrocity bill in | speech in Chicago. | Sctiool boaru awards coal con-1 i trace to the Decatur Lumber Com-1 ! pany.

— I ———— By HARRISON CARROLL. Copyright 1931. Premier Syndicate. Inc. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., June 00.— With all studios keeping their eyes peeled for pictures with exploitation angles, Uncle Carl Laemmle thinks he has a scoop in "Massacre of Fort Dearborn.” Though you might not guess it from the title, this fikr will be a dramatic story of the development of Chicago. It wiil be ready for ' release during the World's Fair i there next year. Uncle Carl has a warm spot in j his heart for Chicago, because he ; got his start in that city 25 years ago The days of the little nickelodeon called “The White Spot” | were among the most thrilling in his life. Being a man of sentiment, he looks upon his new film I project not only as a commercial ; possibility but as a sort of pay--1 ment for Chicago's early kindness I to him. Officials already have offered their cooperation D. F. Kelly, president of the World’s Fair Com- | mittee, will open up the records; , and the history of the city. He also will make arrangements for some i of the scenes of the picture to be shot on their actual locale. i SOUND LOGIC. Joe Jackson, the Kentucky cynic, suggests that what Hollywood needs is less permanent waves and more permanent wives. > —' HOORAY!

One o: the Mines Bureau circu-1 lars was relative to methods for recovering quicksilver from low ,’rade ore. The, new method was | first tried at the Sulphur Bank syn-1 licate at Clearfake, Cal., where there is a large amount of refuse j ire after the sulphur has been removed from the gangue. Six methods of recovery have been success-1 fully used, obtaining an average of | 9.100 pounds of quicksilver from I approximately, 1.300 tons of refuse ore each month. The Mines Bureau has also experimented with small gold mining [ processes and announces a success- j fully operated small mine at Timmins. Ont., where the development of the mine has been carried on almost exclusively from the proceeds of a 25 ton pilot mill. In addition to these two new methods now in use, the government experts at the mining department have evolved a new method | for the flotation of lead zinc sulphides in a concentrator at Tybo. Nev. A complicated electrolytic process has been developed which, experts claim, can be profitably operated on partly oxidized ores. o~ Card of Thanks We wish in this manner to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the neighbors and friends, those who sent the beautiful floral offerings, the singers, and ministers, and all those who kindly assisted us in our bereavement.
