The Yangtze river has been on a rampage for several days and we over here do . not appreciate the suffering which the Chinese have gone through. Casualties will total tens of thousands of dollars and property damage will amount to millions. That New York gang of thugs and murderers should be cleaned up and , dumped in the ocean if it takes 1 Uncle Sam's army to rout them. It seems that with all the police in the metropolis the gangsters could be caught and dealt with. Wanton killings have been going on for some time and the great city of i New York cannot stand by and let j the gunmen run things. Lewis O. Chasey, secretary of I Governor Leslie, in a speech Saturday referred to the last session of I the Indiana legislature as a “drunk- j en orgy” and that many members j regarded the session as a vacation and opportunity for a good time. I Sounds a little indiscreet for the I governor's secretary and it’s liable to make some of the boys angry. The levies for paying road bonds and interest in the 12 Adams county townships will be lower next year, the cuts amounting from three to 25 cents on the hundred dollars. Fewer roads were constructed this year and as former bond issues are being liquidated each year, the total indebtedness will be less next year. The cut in rates will serve to bring down the total rates in the townships and will make taxes lower in most of the units. Legion activities are centered in a—

Anderson today where the state convention is held. Several thousand World War veterans are there and a big program has been arranged for the boys and the hundreds of visitors attracted there. Adams Post of the American Legion was well represented with its drum j corps and the “no man’s land," float which won a state prize last year. i Success to the boys and here's hoping everybody has a good time. Most people associate auto accidents with speed. Up on the Dunes highway you cannot drive less than 40 miles an hour on Sundays and j holidays and since the new regulations became effective on July 19, not a single accident has occurred. Over Memorial day three persons were killed and 192 injured were killed on the highway. Grover C. Garrott, chief of the state police ordered the minimum speed regulations enforced and a driver who pokes along at a lesser gait is pulled off the road. Instead of causing ’ accidents fast driving aids in moving the traffic and from the record of the past month it appears that it is safer than a slow rate of speed. , Bishop John Francis Noll has ! sounded a call to prayer which | should have the humble and contrite response of every member of every faith within the sound of his | earnest appeal. In urging prayer as a remedy for the serious evils with which the whole race of men stands plagued today, Bishop Noll offers the people a surer antidote against frustration than any of the easy formulae wherewith charlatans have falsely promised to comfort souls. Humanity must have something more ruggedly reliable than human help. It is only through prayer than human being succeed in relating themselves to that which is immeasurably greater than themselves. Prayer has repeatedly resolved depair into confidence, by. giving a definite upthrust to life, correlating the God within to the God above us, linking the here-and-now with the highest ideals of the ! Ultimate. Perhaps the most distinguishing aspect of modernity is the spirit of quest—and the spirit of quest unsteadied by Divine Guidance is dangerously liable to the madness of utter bewilderment.

Washington. Aug. 24. —((J.R) — t What a world of contrast htftnan things are continually embattled with in their ever-present struggle so adjust themselves to widely varyng economic cycles and different phases of servitude. lu general, there is nothing truer .than “half of the world lives.” Just now, in. 1 this era of doesn’t know how the other half depression, most of the peoples of the world are too acutely conscious of mankind's misfortunes, but with knowledge does not necessarily come solution. Today witnesses almost an unparallel condition existing between America and China as regards foodstuffs. While millions of yellow coolies are starving to death in the flood-swept Yangtse Valley, 200,090,000 bushels of wheat are stored in the grain vaults of the Federal Farm Board. l Yet. with such volumes of food in 1 Government coffers, America itself Is not free from hungry thousands The key to the puzzle which grips the world t-oday in its relentless vise, spreading suffering to every country on the globe, has I not yet been found, but in an effort to make practical use of the fortune it* food held by the Farm Board, China started negotiations to see whether or not one-third or one-half of the wheat surplus 1 in America could he purchased on “long-term credits." Overtures from China, seeking a portion of the stored wheat, were] made through former Minister C. C. Wu to James C. Stone, chairman of the Federal Farm Board,! some time ago, but more recently ' word has come direct from the Nationalist Government, through ’ the American Consul at Nanking,; that China was particularly anx'-, ions to determine to what extent

the United States wtnild “loan" fcheat to the Yellow Empire in this crucial time of distress. The Farm Board's expressed wish that one-third of the cotton crop be destroyed in an effort to restore the equilibrium of the market, caused some fear that similar destruction might be advocated for the surplus in grain. China, desperate with hordes of dead and dyir>g. is anxious to forestall any move of wanton elimination of the stored-up wheat, if such action is contemplated, as it feels that with time to pay the debt, it could make excellent use of a huge purchase of American grain. Americans, too. probably can be said to be of the same mind. This country never has been one to stt by and see suffering when action j could prevent it. Samuel R. McKelvie. of Nebraska. former wheat representative of the Federal Farm Board, has broached his solution of the problem confronting the board. The Nebraskan has recommended | that Congress dispose of the excess grain as a means of domestic relief, thus curtailing other expenditures to effect aid to jobless in America. Just how Congress, President Hoover and the Farm Board will react, to Mr. McKelvie's proposal, it is difficult to foresee. But It might be well to remember that Soviet Russia also has a huge sup- ' ply of wheat. Anfd it is possible that Russia, playing for the worlds spotlight, may deliver ; grain free to China in a grandiose move intended to win it acclaim. W ith the United States and Rus- ! sia both holding vast quantities of a staple food, something is bound to occur in connection with it.
