This is a mighty good county in every way. Boys no difference what the prices are, those were some fine rains and the crops look assured,' so thats something to be thankful for even if at present prices you ran't get more than a dollar a day tor your hard work. The London conference to take care of the world indebtedness will depend upon the large banks' to ♦ take care of the proposition which will at least give them some place to put the millions now locked in their vaults and it ought to help general conditions considerably. Farmers are holding their crops in this territory and if every one does that a few months will bring what the farm relief board has failed to manage—better prices. Supply and demand still control! and after all the farmers, if they can afford to do so, have the key to the situation. We notice the weeds along the state and county highways are getting pretty high and it won't be long now until they begin to ripen and thats bad news for those bothered annually with hay fever and summer colds. Whoever gets rid of them will have the thanks of about every one who uses the roads. A Kansan farmer raised 5,000 bushels of wheat and took it to market. He was offered two-bits per bushel and refused to sell. Instead he wnt outside the office and proceeded to buy 5,000 bushel at that price. He took it home and put it in his bins, declaring he had his farming for next year done for less than he coud do it in the regular way and was going fishing for a year. Not so dumb.

Present indications are that Franklin D. Roosevelt, governor of New York, will be the next democratic nominee and that in the geni era! election he will be promoted , to the very important position of , President of the United States and what an opportunity for a great man like him. We confidently believe the people will not be disappointed in him. You will, we are sure, agree with Miss Annette Moses, city librarian, that the Decatur Library is one of the finest in the state and that this public enterprise has paid for itsself over and over again. We believe you have all enjoyed the history published during the past ten days and written by Miss Moses. If , you care to read good books you can get them at the library where you will always be treated courteously and where those in charge will be glad to render any assistance possible. It at any time you wish special data on any subject you will be properly directed by the librarian or assistants. Use this great institution. That's what its . for and remember that those in charge and the trustees are anxious only to render you the very best service possible. J A Massachusetts physician who ( recently died directed in his will, which was filed for probate on Tuesday, that all his books of ac-1 counts should be destroyed, so that I there would be no outstanding bills l against his patients. Doctors' bill are proverbially the last to be paid. Whether the proverb is true or not, thousands of physicians no doubt carry on their books accounts from! I which they never expect to receive a cent. And yet the doctor is in times of emergency frantically sum. moned and implicitly relied upon. His word becomes law in numberless perturbed households. His slightest suggestion is complied with, his expert pronouncements are breathlessly awaited. \\V have no way of knowing how many of the bills receivable in the case of this Massachusetts doctor were "good.”- Presumably some were collectable and some were not. But with a fine and final gesture he waved them all away. It was as if he made a public bequest: “I hereby bequeath to my debtors the face value of their accounts. I freely forgive them their indebtedness. They are welcome to all the counsel I ever bestowed upon them, all the medicaments, all the surgical assistance.” Looked at in this way his provision for destroying the ac<ounW)o°ks takes on the aspect of a community benefaction. Literally he gave himself to those of his fellow-citizens who could not or would not pay for his services.— Providence Journal. — —o Modern Etiquette I By ROBERTA LFE (U.R) « Q.

With "The I Finger Points” released generally throughout the country now, First National is said to have an ace in the hole in ‘‘Five Star Final,” Broadway's outstanding journalistic contribution of the season. Paramount’s "Through the Window” is a mystery story with a newspaper background. Fox talks in business-like fashion of "Sob-Sister.” And still the real personality of the reporter proves elusive.

The revolutionary character of the New Plymouth hits created a great flood of interest. Even the hardiest of skeptics are so amaredat this new four that performs like an eight that they ask eagerly for the facts behind this tremendous accomplishment. What is Floating Power? Floating Power is a term applied to the new and revolutionary principle of mounting the engine in the car frame, developed by Chrysler Motors engineers for the New Plymouth. Just how is the engine mounted? On two live-rubber mountings 1 nearly an inch thick. These mountings are so placed that a line drawn through them passes through the center of gravity of the engine. Thus the engine is suspended in perfect balance. What does Floating Power do? The live-rubber mountings allow the engine to rock upon its natural axils as if in a cushioned

Autos End Century-Old Trade WRENTHAM, Mass. — (U.R) — Wrentham’s village smithy has g() „e the way of most horseshoers these modern days ot motor transportation. When J. Edward Ca Hander recently closed his blacksmith shop he closed out a 1,, which had been carried

cradle. Vibration is thus entirely eliminated from the car. Why does Floating Power succeed when all other methods fail? Because Chrysler Motors engineers have not tried merely to dampen vibration; they have achieved an entirely new principle which dissipates the motor impulses so that they never reach the body and frame. Why and How is Power Increased? Because the Elimination of vibration allows higher compression, which gives greater horsepower without increasing cylinder size. Floating Power makes possible 56 brake-test horsepower and actual stopwatch speeds of 65 and 70 miles an hour, and pick-up from 0 to 40 miles in 9.7 seconds. What else does Plymouth offer?
