A doctor in Philadelphia removed his own tonsils. Now he can smile when he gets his own bill the first of the month. That’s what we call heating the game. President Hoover says his recent trip was non-political but there was certainly some thing of it in his address at Indianapolis. Perhaps the flare back was not all that was hoped for. Its going to be a difficult job to create very much enthusiasm over the administration of the past two years. The first heat wave of the season came along this week and the mercury has been chasing between ninety and a hundred all over the country. Os course there are the usual complaints and claims cf record breaking but along comes the farmer smiling, for its corn weather. A good rain now would just about make crops. Lower taxes are as necessary as are lower overhead in every thing else. That’s a stiff thing to tackle but its up to those in charge to grit their teeth, lop off every expense possible and get down to where taxes will be something less than confiscation. And it can be done if we are all sincere enough about it. The Marion-Blufftjn traction line is to be abandoned, a petition having been filed with the state public service commission who can do nothing else on the showing of a continued deficit. That will mean i less taxes, men out of employment and other problems to be met. We move in this country, but not always forward. Talk about corn “knee high by the Fourth of July.’’ We have it snow and other crops are a month ahead of many years. The wheat is beginning to turn, the oats and rye are wonderful to look at, the gardens were never better nor the flowers more beautiful. Its a great | old land after all and there ought I not.be much actual suffering in a j land of such plenty. Steel mills are operating only at 38% of capacity which discourages some who watch and study markets. It shouldn't for when general conditions come back, so will steel, if you expect any particular stock to jump as in the old days, you are in for disappointment for there will be no substantial gains until profits are shown and when one line of industry does that, the chances are that almost all the others will. There eems to be «me opinions that there is something back of Jesse Murden’s resignation other than his private business and there may be but its probable that the only thing really is that he was sick and tired and disgusted with serving the public which never praises one’s good work but jumps with all four feet on any thing that looks like a slip up. That’s part of what you pay for honors. It takes a lot of grit these days to smile and keep on trying but it may help to call your attention to the fact that atber all those are the only ones who have a chance to

win. Out of the storm of depression will soon emerge a safer, hap- * pier, better nation and you will look hack upon these days with an *' entirely different view. Be square. ’. work hard, smile and keep on pusht Ing and you will be one of the win tiers. ______ _____ r I Newspaper advertising is file one ( tonic that you can afford to give your business and the only one that 9 will work to your advantage one 5 hundred per cent. Various other | forms have been tried by the large j concerns at a cost of millions but 1 always they return to the one sure method of creating desire and (demand for their goods. Try it consistently and you will not be dis--1 appointed. J. D. O'Conner, Jr., who conducted a county tour here this week in the interests of the horse breeders says that the best way in the world to get the country back to good , times is to get into that line again. , Os course it will never be what it , was in the old days when the auto and tractor were unknown but it ' can be improved in many ways if. : 0 little effort is made. This Used I , to be a great county for horses and the Decatur market was known everywhere as one of the best. We hope it can be revived. __________ They are now calling attention ' to the passing of the old fashioned woodshed along with the horse and buggy, the hitching post and many other things of the long ago. Well let it pass. Our memories of it is a place where we had to go either to do disagreeable work or to listen to a lecture to the tune of a strap j r a switch from the cheery tree. : The modern means of heating is preferable in every way and easier on the temperament of all concerned. ♦ « Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE • ..

GOVERNMENT TO HELP GERMANY .CONTINUED FROM ly aided bj’ a readjustment of the British debt to the United States. Britain long has said she would scale down German payments to her in proportion as her own debts 1 were reduced. It is understood that Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, now in Europe, already has discussed this possible action with Prifne Minister MacDonald and Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England. Second, the Federal reserve banks might establish a substantial credit here for Germany to tide the reich over its present financial crisis. President Hoover began his conferences on the economic situation yesterday, with his efforts “particularly directed to strengthening the situation in Germany." To his office came a succession of leading government officials and congressional leaders of both parties—Secretary of State Stimson. Undersecretary of the Treasury Mills. Assistant Secretary of Commerce i Klein. Senator Reed, Repn., Pa., 'and Senator Glass, Dem., Va.. among others. , At the close of the busy day, the I President issued this statement

"Since my return from the central west yesterday (Thursday), 1 have conferred with these leaders of both political parties who are present in Washington with respect to certain steps which we might take to assist in economic recovery both here and abroad. “These conversations have been particularly directed to strengthening the situation in Germany. No definite plans or conclusions have yet been arrived at, but the response which I have met from the leaders of both parties is most gratifying. “Any statement of any plan or method is wholly speculative and is not warranted by the facts." The White House handed out this short statement, subject to any one of a dozen interpretations—a new debt-reparations conference, a loan to Germany, tariff readjustments — and would say nothing more. Neither would Secretary of State Stimson, save to explain that the new administration move probably would not interfere with his trip to Europe late this month or early in July. From one high quarter, however, it was learned that readjustment of Great Britain's debt way one of I the proposals being given serious consideration. More than half a decade ago,!
