The very best way in the world to help unemployed is to provide employment and that should be the first aim of those in charge of any plans to feed the hungry during the coming winter. Its far better to give every one an opportunity to work than it is to hand out doles. The autumn season approaches and it will be well for merchants to meet it by some early advertising. Already many folks are buying fall wearing apparel and it is not necessary to wait until snow flies to interest them. Start off this week and keep at it if you would get your full share of the business. Supporters of Franklin Roosevelt credit Indiana's delegate vote to him and indications at this time are that he will get them but so many things can happen during the next six or eight months that it might be well not to count too strongly on that although we feel the .New York governor looks at this time like the man of the hour. Harry Miesse who keeps his eye ! on taxes over Indiana and knows a I lot about the business gave warm praise to the action in Adams county where every unit has made strenuous effort to reduce, even in the face of a large loss on personal property valuations. Officials deserve commendation for they have met the problem here in about as i sensible a manner as any where we' know of. Vacation days are about over and every one will be getting down to the regular order of business during the next couple of weeks. There is always a thrill about entering into school work, business and doing things when the first of September arrives and much of our success depends upon how much effort we put into our jobs and how long we stay at them without losing the thrill. They are having a rather tough time getting the stock market squared around so it is again a sure thing for those who know how to deal from the bottom but, that is I not such an important thing. Once I the unemployment situation is tak-! <n care of and prices of farm pro-! ducts are restored to a point where 1 there is a profit for those who en-! gage in that business, prosperity will he here and it will be a brand I that will continue for many years.' - L Why waste a lot of time discussing the horrors connected with the "Bluebeard” transactions of Harry Powers, Clarksburg matrimonial w We encourage only such methods as will enhance this community’s good will.

agent who seems to have made a specialty of attracting women and children to his garage and murdering them? The world is much better off without such fiends, whether sane or insane, and the sooner he is disposed of and the less publicity given his terrible acts, the better for the country. Two weeks from now comes the big annual street fair, always a delightful week with something doing every minute and much to see and hear. One of the biggest features of every event of this kind is the meeting of old friends, the renewal of friendships and Old Settlers day always furnishes a lot of pleasure. Get ready to enjoy the occasion for it promises to be one of the biggest and best ever given here. The city electric plant now has full authority to proceed with the extension of lines through the rural districts. Already the city owns a number of valuable lines through this radius and during the next fewyears this will no doubt be increased to a point which will add value to the local plant, increase the monthly receipts and profits and in every way add to its favor. The plant has a splendid record of achievement and much credit is due those in charge for the maziagement. There seems to be a general trend of betterment in the economic conditions of the country but it is not at all probable that the improvement will be very noticeable for some six months or more. In the meantime it is up to every one to do the very best they can that general prosperity may be hastened. Keep busy and keep smiling and remember this is still the greatest country on the face of the globe with more opportunities to the square mile than ever. Those who keep their eyes open and show ] a willingness to do the job that comes to them, will eventually come through. The suggestion that definite plans ibe made now to take care of the I unemployed during the coming | winter is an excellent one, deserving of prompt response. The United Charities has done a splendid job along this line in the past and it is our sincere belief that they will still be able to meet every requirement but they deserv genuin sup- | port. You may feel certain that i every penny entrusted to them will ' be economically used and that they will not waste a single thing. Plans lor raising a sufficient fund should be made at once for in this splendid community it is important that steps be taken to assure every one that none worthy will suffer from cold or hunger during the coming winter. * RELNION ~* !

to write the story. For the time being, at least, the title of the film is “The Gambling Girl.” These floating casinos operate beyond the reach of the law, yet are easily accessible by speed-boat. Lovers of the forbidden sport can play the heel to their heart’s content, or, tiring, can sit and enjoy a well-cooked meal. The one thing forbidden is liquor—sale of which pives the law its only chance to interfere Apparently, this story will deviate from the recent formula of Constance Bennett pictures—the working s-irl who graduates to luxury. In the meanwhile, however, the star has to‘make “Compromised." This is the Tay Garnett story, once known as “Salvaged.” > _ —— CHAINED.

NATIONS FEEI PRESSURE FOR DISARMAMENT Great Britain Throws Moral And Financial Aid to United States Geneva, Aug. \ '. —(U.R) —Financial and moral pressure by the AngloSaxon nations are being counted | upon by the League of Nations as the dominating factors for forcing an actual reduction in armaments at the 1932 disarmament conference. Every indication points to the probability that the fight is going to be led largely by the Anglo-Sax-on nations, backed naturally by the disarmed nations of Central Europe. That this fact Is appreciated both by the United States and Great Britain is indicated, it is declared, by the manner in which President Hoover intimated the necessity of armament reduction in connection with his project for the temporary moratorium of war debts and reparations, and by the manner in which Great Britain has served notice on the League that various concessions in favor of peace must depend purely on a successful disarmament conference. Atmosphere Unfavorable No secret is made hi league circles that during the last six months the atmosphere in Europe has been . anything but favorable for a successful disarmament conference. In fact, the open hostility between i various European nations, as reflected at League Council meetings and the European Union Commission. was such that postponment i of the disarmament conference was . considered. While sharp criticism has been expressed in Europe that President > Hoover s financial aid was largely in favor of Germany, league circles point out that this has constituted a situation that nullifies the principal pretext for the maintenance i of large European armaments. ! Fear of Germany nas always been | ' the base on which other European nations have made claims for large armaments. Economical Salvation With Germany in a position where ■ her economic salvation lies with ’ the United States, and with the 1 knowledge that this economic and 1 financial aid would be cut off if she ’ showed signs of aggressive inclin--3 atione, league circles believe that the rest of Europe can hardly use Germany as an excuse for future ’ large armaments. Aside from the help already rendered Germany by the Hoover administration. and the intimation that more may be forthcoming it is pointed out that various American loans to Germany now total $1,600,000,000. Other European nations, besides Germany, it is pointed out, are likely to find American financial aid necessary and it is believed that this will be made conditional upon armament reduction. In the meantime there is every indication that the United States will have the warmest support of Great Britain, constituting a veritable Anglo-Saxon block that will countenance nothing less than actual reduction. MacDonald's Declaration Great Britain's attitude it is declared has recently been indicated in two events. One wets MacDonald's declarations in Parliament that Great Britain has reached the limit of reduction unless other nations follow suit. The other was the similar notes sent to the Secretariat by Great Britain and her dominions that they only will accept the necessaryamendments for harmonizing thA League covenant with the Kellogg pact when a successful international disarmament convention has been brought Into force. The latter is interpreted as being the first, of what may prove to be a series of steps by Great Britain to bring heavy moral pressure to bear upon league members for an actual armament reduction. At the same time it is interpreted as an actual effort on the part of the other Anglo-Saxon nations to back the United States in the hard fight for actual reductions. r~TWENTY YEARS 1 I- AGO TODAY I From the Dally Democrat File August 31 —Starbuck gives lecture "The nimble nickle” to teachers and public at the court house.
