When government tries to solve i all .Hie ills of the people, then real' trouble starts. Paul Whiteman may know' liar-1 nidfty in music, but in marriage he I was out of tune. No matter what the candidates.! congressmen and senators say the j issue is, the voters will have something to say next year and how. One out of three, says the farm | board and if carried on down the | line, don't forget to reduce every i third theory for good times. The grape bricks will at least ! help to boost industry in California i and if Mabie Willebrandt is able to get another $100,000,000 for the industry, tilings should hum. .Believe it or not, but they say tlmt Ripley has an income of $5,000 a week and that should make space in-4iis daily cartoon. _At a meeting of newspaper publishers the other day we were informed that it was a violation of the- postal law regulating lotteries i irmt drawings, to publish the names I of-winners of bridge prizes. Most ! of . the publishers wondered how they would fill the society columns itlhe ruling was enforced, espec-j ially during these times of depress-{ ion. —— ‘ Jouett Shouse, whom the repub-| licans don't like because he insists on telling a few things about the administration, now asks the sen- i slble question, "what is the Presi- j dent’s plan to relieve unemploy- I m< nt and caring for tlie needy this ’ whiter.'' If the President has a plan it seems that the country is j entitled to know what it is, for surely he must have the cooper- [ ation of both parties to put it over, ; Governor Leslie and other state ’ officials are being sued for letting ' a contract for $64,800 for cleaning, repairing and painting the state house. Tlie plaintiff alleges that public notice of receiving bids was .UUJ. given according to law and he not only seeks to have the contract cancelled, but asks damages from the governor, the secretary and auditor of state and other officials.

We don't know what the job consists of, but it sure looks like they could make everything spic and span for $64,000. I, Much emphasis is placed on the ' prict* of wheat and cotton and the t suggestion that part of these be deI stroyed in order to equalize or 2 boost prices. Statistics show that 5 i these two crops comprise only 23 i) | 5 j per cent of the total farm income >\ in the country and that chickens j and eggs exceed the value of wheat. •. In sections where farmers do di- ■ versified farming, raise chickens i and have a dairy herd conditions j are better than in the one-crop I territories of the country. = Frank L. Smith, Illinois, W'ho was ' refused a seat in the senate in 1926, charges that Julius RosenIwald, millionaire mail order execuI tive, offered him stock in the latI er’s company equal to one million i dollars if he would withdraw from the senatorial race. Smith intii mates that Rosenwald was backing ■ the independent republican candiI date and thus wished to assure his j favorite’s election. Smith's letter I is the first public intimation of the I charge and the sifting of the matter i will probably be interesting. Mr. Rosenwald, who is past 80, lies ill at his home and the family refuses 1 to bother him with the matter. The big problem in radio advertising is to key the ads, to find out if they are attracting attention. I About the only way that has been i found is by asking for mall respon- { ses. All this proves, is that a certain number of people heard the I advertising. The use of this methlod is equivalent to adding a coupon | to every printed advertisement and asking readers to return the coupons as evidence that they have read what is printed. It is estimated that the annual cost of broadcasting is $75,000,000, and that a tax of $5 per set would pay the ex- | pense. Who wouldn't be willing to pay this much each year to be relieved of all advertising on the air, and from appeals for mail responses'?—National Printer-Journalist. 0 REUNION CALENDAR ♦ —- — ♦ Sunday, August 23 Annual reunion of the Kemmer family Sun Set Park, Decatur, rain I or shine.

It should be borne In mind that the word "fu” means blessing only when written In this way.

After 15 months of heavy traffic the pavement showed no signs of wear. If the material continues to stand up well.

It ranges frotn 3 to 5 feet high nnd In stream channels will grow as high as frotn 5 to 8 feet.

"Helicopter” and "Autogiro” A helicopter and an autogiro are entirely different. The autogiro IS a rotating-wing airplane, and the wings are not geared to the motor. Tlie helicopter is a form of aircraft whose sole support in the air Is derived directly from tlie vertical component of the thrust pro duced by rotating alr-fofl. The blades of the helicopter are geared to the motor.

It will not be used if you prefer that it not be. I * • Editor Democrat: Tax, roads or wages are good for an argument any place, any time and how. It seems that finally big corporations are seeing the handwriting on the wall and are reducing wages. This should have been done long ago for why keep an inflated wage condition when every thing else is deflated, or being so. Tax and roads are to an extent j synonymous in that we will always have them and that they are hard to keep up. It looks as though 4t might be a good idea while this moratorium thing is being passed around that a light application of it be applied to road building in the county. That is all building of new roads be deferred for a year. Adams county has a network of roads that it is a shame and useless expenditure of money to tear up as has been done in the past. Each township can save several thousands of dollars yearly by doing this. Os course there is a dis- ! ferenee of opinion on this subject. All people do not see alike. Many questions are being discussed by the new formed “Taxpayers Association" of Adams county and they should be. For surely we deserve a maximum of good government for a minimum of cost. Mere gloom or despair will not .solve the problems confronting America today. It will take the energy of the best manhood and womanhood of the nation. The officers soon to be selected for the above mentioned association should be such as to command the respect of all, not just kickers. They should have a good constructive program and be willing to cooperate with our county officiafs if at all possible. If this thing is for the benefit of all the taxpayers then it should be so used, not turned into a secret order or made any ones football, i private or political. Is there anything wrong with America today? Is she living up to her opportunities? If the many communities of this country are living right then surely this coun-1

, try is living right. But are they? At any rate we are proud of America. Look at her good points. Great itt intelligence; great in riches; great in her splendor of architecture, freedom of religion. Observe her great inventions, medical research. etc., and last but not least tlie millions of common people that want merely the opportunity to live their life in peace and security, and make an honest living. On the other hand we are confronted with the spectacle of big city crime unchecked, of being the most lawless nation on the face of the globe, yet having the most laws, with skimmilk method of punishment. We have the curious I ' anomdy o fbeing the richest nation with billionaires down to the fivecent hobo and extended soup lines. The spectre of famine blights our fair land while storehouses are ; bulging with food products. We have crude oil at 22 cents per barrel and gas at 15 cents per gallon. Wheat at 38 cents per bushel and wheat cereal at 15 cents per pound; milk at six cents per gallon and ice cream at 85 cents per gallon. Courts free criminals on technicalities; justice is frustrated. Laborers go to industry and ask for longer work with less pay and are refused in order to keep up wages. We have chaos in spending and chaos in government. We have inefficiency,

dishonesty and corruption in government officials. Is it any wonder America is seething with discontent? And to top it off Industrial typression dominates the country from one end to tlie oilier. We are in the throes (receding we hope) of a business conflict brought on by an inefficient republican administration, that few ever experienced before nor hope to again. Now are we all proud of America? Forces must be aroused to combat the insidious influences abroad in our fair land, to see if human fellowship shall triumph, I whether our institutions of business ' and learning as now constituted ’ shall continue to function, whether our ideals and perceptions of hu-|
