Perhaps a few old fashioned grist mills would prosper right now if we had them. Its been a long time since we had such a crop of wheat in this section. Indiana exports fell off twenty million dollars last year over the previous year. If we keep on sliding downward we may some time reach the point from which we can start to build upward. Newspaper advertising will bring results and in these strenuous days its altout the only form you can use to your advantage. Don't be side tracked by glib salesmen but spend your money where it will bring results. It is to be hoped that the sevenpower debt conference now in session in London will not develop into an American congress. If it does, Germany and all the other nations won’t care what they do for it will be too late to help out. Listen to the last Junior band concert this evening at 8:30 daylight saving time. These boys and girls have furnished a number of entertainments during the summer and have delighted thousands. Its a fine, organization and we are all proud of it. Mayor Krick has no patience with wife beaters and his sentence of a man who tried to beat up on his helpmate will meet the approval of every one. There is no use in getting soft hearted when men so far forget themselves and six months and a S2OO fine may make him be a little more careful with his fists in the future. Mr. Coolidge seems to have been right when in reply to a request for his opinion on the moratorium, be said "That kind of thing is infectious.” Now it is proposed that a moratorium be declared on mortgages, notes and large accounts, which of course is something to talk about but which probably never result. Four Bluffton boys rode the life out- of a bicycle, keeping it going continually for 605.50 hours, riding a total of 4,317 miles and establishing a new world record for such achievements. When they quit one tire was punctured and one rim was penetrated by spokes. It showed courage and skill and the

boys we understand will receive some substantial prizes for their long and strenuous effort. Along with about every thing else advertising Is off some and thats ■ bad. not only for us, but for you, ’ tor the more inviting you do', the • more business and the more sales, the better for every one. We are sure that those who are pounding i right down the line, using newsi j paper space liberally and saying J I something when they do, are the i ones who are showing a very good I business. You can do it also if you want to. A woman who died recently left $5,000 to be loaned to girl students of Indiana university who were working their way through college. This increases that fund to $34,000, so that almost a hundred girls can be helped. The girls pay the money back after they graduate and the losses from failure to pay are so small as to be negligible. It is a fine and permanent method of helping deserving and ambitious young women. Don’t waste time worrying because June was the poorest month since the depression began. We are more interested in knowing what the condition will be next June. Chances that it will be better and we are earnestly hoping so. Once the bottom is reached the rest will be much easier for you will be able to tell some where near where you are. The outlook for the farmer is a little brighter we are told and that’s where the better times must start from. City and county directories are convenient things to have and to refer to when needed but they seem to be coming just a little too frequently here. The last one was distributed here about the first of the' year as we remember it and we are informed that efforts are now being made to publish another one. We would think it a rather up hill job, if you want our honest opinion.' However, its up to the business men who know whether they need it and whether or not its worth what it costs. The farm board is not at fault for the demoralization of wheat, but it is to blame for wasting an immense sum of public money trying by a futile process to put wheat at about a dollar and a quarter and peg it there. The failure of the Hoover law and the Hoover board to redeeth the Republican party’s pledges and Herbert Hoover's promises of 1928 can be explained by no such petty pleading as that short traders are the mischiefmakers. Wheat is worth 75 cents a bushel less than it was when Mr. Hoover took office.— Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. ♦— ♦ ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two ♦— j 1.

I think one reason for this is that we see about us those women who have reached advanced age and can no longer go about independently, or perhaps they have been bereft of their life companions which has made it necessary for them to give up their homes and go and live with some one—perhaps their children. Sometimes the saddest part of this arrangement is that the mother does not feel exactly welcome in her son's or daughter's home. This mother once passed through the shadows of death to brihg this son or daughter into life, she watched with untiring watchfulness over them through ehihlhood and made sacrifice for their pleasure and welfare. When they were old enough to venture out into the world, how many sleepless hours she spent until they were safe home again! The best and only the very best a child can do for that parent, can not rppay such love and devotion. My own heart has been made to ache many times when I look back over the years and think in howmany ways I might have made the pathway brighter for my own mother, although at the time I felt I was doing everything possible for her. I loved my mother devotedly and I believe she knew it. but since being a mother myself I now see how much my mother would have enjoyed hearing me tell her occasionally how much I really | loved her. The pleasures of old j people then were fewer than they' are now, and this one thing I could I have done to make my mother happier. True, some of our aged people are not as agreeable as they might be, but perhaps they can not help it. Many of them have not reached the goal they had set; and naturally they are disappointed. When growing oljl this feeling

SPEND... AND SAVE MONEY NOT so long ago a famous personage advised the American public “to spend.” Another equally noted man retorted with the advice “save.” Perhaps both were right, but the better policy would seem to be “spend wisely in order to save.” Spending wisely simply means to use your money for those things that you need, as the condition of your purse may warrant—and at the same time, to buy only those articles that have actually proved their quality and worth. By purchasing merchandise that gi\ es the greatest value for the money, you secure the longest service and so save the price of a repurchase. Ihi ift is a n irtue, but so is wise investment The advertising in this paper is a reliable guide as to where and when to get the utmost value for vour money. Advertising is a safe and trustworthy guide to sound investment. It has proved its reliability. You buy advertised wares every day—consciously or ungt° US ou by name, because you know that the advertised article has served vou well in the past, and will continue to do so in the future Read the advertisements, that you may spend wisely—and save. .

overcomes them. Me need to be very patient, for we may be even . more trying when we reach tha | advanced age. If we will only watch ourselves | while we are yet young ami try to cultivate the traits of character that will tend toward making us sweet and sunny as we get older, we may be more congenial in our last years when we will have to depend upon others to care for us. Even then, sometimes, an all Helion will come that robs the individual of a clear mind, leaving onlv the unpleasant traits for the caretakers to baffle with. So. with ■ this knowledge of what it means,) to be aged and helpless, let is: make the pathway of the aged’ ones in our homes just as pleasant ’ as we possibly can. keeping c'“ r this thought in mind, that "we ourselves will be aged some day. .

"FARMER JIM" FOR DEBT PLAN BRADY. Tex. —(U.R)— "Farmer Jim" Ferguson, former governor of Texas, is strongly in favor of President Hoover's plan for a oneycar suspension of inter-govern-mental debts. Ferguson broke a silence that had existed since his wife was defeated a year ago in her campaign ’ against Governor Ross Sterling to 1 predict that the plan would restore the good will of European ! nations toward the United States. He suggested that a similar moratorium toward all delds owed by people within the United States would go a long way toward restoring confidence of Amerii cans. "Not frozen loans but frozen confidence of the people Is the cause of the present economic

conditions." he Ferguson made a M K return of the ” orilr , >io»al principle X" al issue money a ,„| . and urged repe al X reserve system l aw ~ hf « It usurped the ;, n . alai| AJi heid b y local their own dis,HS customers over — — l Typewrite Ri kll 'F The fabric used ln * grades of typewriter rb "’E finest quality of l llllmr , closely woven „f fil , e «Jfe ami spun from the hL, : Sea Island cotton T ' l ” l i™ adapted fm ai t .sorbi n j Ing the ink.
