Other plants have increased pay rolls or hours and there is a trend for the better. " Some things may he a circus, but running one is a different matter. The 101 Ranch Wild show is rtranded at Washington and the .(downs, cowpunchers, Indians and side show freaks are suing the owners for $29,000 back pay. They have petitioned for a receiver and ft looks like the big top will be erected again this summer. Business was at a standstill for an hour in Decatur this morning during the funeral of E. F. Gass, one of Decatur’s leading merchants whose death occurred Sunday. Mr. Gass was in business here for more than 25 years and final tribute to his fine character, honesty and lovable character was paid today by thousands of friends and by the merchants who for years were associated with him in the retail business. Every effort is being made by Superintendent Mylott and membl rs of the city electric department in trying to locate the cause of the trouble in radio reception here. Investigations were made Monday and Tuesday and again today and Superintendent Mylott stated that h would not quit until the cause was found and eliminated. Radio listeners are asked to be patient, with the assurance that everything is being done to correct the trouble. We don't know how much more uiere is to that Wickersham report, but we'll give credit to the members as to their ability to compile a bunch of stuff. Many unlawful practices and law violations have been cited by the commission and it will be up to congress to pass remedial legislation or take the report and throw it in the waste basket. President Hoover, who hesitates to act until his commissions report, will probably include

some of the needed legislation in, his address to congress and then the American people will hear both sides of the question, with comments by Borah, Norris and young LaFollette. These Jack the Peepers with a stripe of moron in them, will do well to cut out the practice of peeping in the homes for someone is going to catch them and in addition they might get a dose of buck shot. Every effort should be made to get the men or boys who are frightening people and the severest penalty given them. Some of this peeping may be done in fun, but when a man carries a knife or other instrument and is ready to kill in order to make his escape there can be no sympathy it he is dealt with in severe fashion when apprehended. Up around St. Joseph, Michigan, the fruit industry is bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars Io growers and the municipal market there is one of the largest in the United States. Last year more than four and one-quarter million dollars were paid to growers for berries, apples, mellons and vegetables. Growers come from a wide area and received cash for their crop. It’s a big industry, well-managed and means much to farmers and merchants. Prices are fairly good this year and the fact that growers receive cash on day 1 i of sale put a lot of money in circulation. The fine stores, brisk I business and general activity in i and around St. Joe reflects better than the average condition found < in towns of that size. It's an ini teresting place to visit and the country is beautiful. o Lessons In English Words often misused: Do not say "A sight of people were there." Say “A great many people.” Often mispronounced: Chrysalis. Pronounce kris-a-lis, both i's as in “it” a unstressed, accent first syllable. Often misspelled: Lessee; two s's and three e's. Synonyms: Insane, mad. deranged crazy. Word study: “Use a word three times and it is yours.” Let mj, increase our vocabulary by mastering one word each day. today’s word: Raucous; hoarse; harsh; rough. “His raucous voice could be heard, commanding them to obey." o ♦ ♦ Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE ♦ — (UP) ♦ Food Grinder To force out particles of potatoes or meat that cling to the knives of the food grinder, run two or three crackers or pieces of stale bread through it. Hanging Brooms Always hang the brooms and nv-ns from the wall. When left standing on the floor the bristles or fibers will weaken and rot. An excellent hanger can be made by fastening to the wall two empty spools, about two inches apart. Preserves It is claimed that one of the best methods of keeping preserves and . jellies unfermented throughout the summer is to place them, before ' scaling in the sun for several days. , —; O ♦ 4 ' Modem Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE ♦ (U.K) ♦ Q. Should the hostess rise when ' greeting all newcomers? A. Yes; it is very inhospitable if , she does not. Q. What is an important thing to remember when making a business > appointment'' [ A. Punctuality. Q. What four courses constitute a simple, formal dinner? A. Soup, main course of meat and . attending vegetables, salad, and des- ( sert, with coffee. Lives in Concrete Tepee , Escondido, Calif.—(U.R>—Perched on the summitt of a high hill here, stands a concrete Indian tepee 50 I feet in height and 60 feet in diameter at the base. It is the home of A. L. Houghtelin. who believes it will be a cool and comfortable residence although it may be a radical departure from the orthodox home building. o NOTICE—My cider mill will run every Tuesday and Thursday beginning Tuesday.

EXPERT FINDS CAPITAL IDEAL AS “ZEP” BASE I I — Balloonist Completes Survey in Search of Dirigible Field Washington, -(UP) — Ward T. I Van Orman, twice international bal-' , loon racing champion and a noted meteorological expert has chosen ' Washington as the center of the most desirable urea on the United States coast for terminus of a transAtlantic dirigible line. Van Orman has just completed a , survey of all conditions here as- , fecting the operation of dirigibles. , He measured wind velocity, snow ; fall, fog, frequency of thunderstorms summer and winter temper- , atures and even soil conditions. , Among the principal cities in the desirable area finally chosen tor the prospective dirigible base, Wash- • ington showed a small number of objections. The area extended from - Philadelphia to Richmond. Among the four principal cities ij named. Van Orman found that wind conditions were about the same in ; all. He found that Baltimore suffered more from fog. The northern part ; of the territory is more subject to heavy snowfall. Washington is i outside the section of heaviest < snows. Rainfall is about the same at most places, and wind conditions are better a little back from the coast, which would favor Washington. The capital's chief disadvantage apparently was that it is near the belt of high southern temperatures in summer. Temperature is of im-|i portance, it was staled, for its es- j sects on gases and ou lifting capacity. Washingon is in a favorable position, however, as regards to thunderstorms. It ranks about equal with Philadelphia in this respect, I having a smaller number annually j

than other nearby sections. So satisfactory were the conditions at Washington that engineers of the Goodyear Company and the | International Zeppelin Company have begun a geological survey of | the proposed air base near here called Hybla Valley. Drainage tor the 1 field and soil compositions for founj dation of a huge hangar are being j investigated. —— o Indian Charged with Cruelty to Bullate Hoipiny, Okla, (UP) Because he is alleged to have killed r a buffalo by the tribal methods of his forefathers, Frank Frenchman Os age India, has been charged with cruelty io animals. Frenchman, dressed in tribal costume, was alleged to have “tor tured" the buffalo by shooting it five times with a bow and arrows during re-enactment of an early day buffalo hunt.

Yoshikatus was formally indicted for attempted murder after a preliminary examination in court here and will be tried soon. Ainosuke Iwata, who owned the weapon with which Hamaguchi was shot, was indicted for violation of the regulations governing firearms.

NEBRASKA FINDS NEW INDUSTRY Alliance, Neb (UP)— One of Nebraska's largest industries, growI ing of certified seed potatoes for southern states, owes its development to an accident. Thirteen years ago the Universities of Nebraska and Louisiana I carried on a joint experiment with potatoes. Nebraska grown potatoes ] being shipped to Southern lands, | were planted. Through the experiments between . the two schools it was found that; seed potatoes grown in Nebraska] thrived best in the damp climate and low altitudes of the gulf region. From those simple experiments, a I gigantic potato industry grew, until , now potatoes aie Nebraska s fourth | most valuable crop. During the first year, 100 cars of seed potatoes were shipped soutn-
