National Advertising Representative SCHERRER, Inc, 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago 415 Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies Trustees in Adams county will not furnish aid to poor folks who drive up in their cars to receive same. Looks like good judgment. The annual street fair will open on the 15th and it is to be a great big show with something doing every minute. Don't miss it. Chicago will get a sixteen million dollar postoffice which will help the labor situation and make it real handy for the boys to get their mail between shots. The government will borrow a billion dollars to help them out of the hole. That’s easier than raising taxes and so much better politics with election coming on next year. Adams county pays nearly a million dollars in taxes in one form and another which looks like a rather heavy bill of expenses during the days when the dollar is looking bigger and bigger with each passing week. And about the middle of next month the Cloverleaf Creameries Wtti put on a big Dairy Day progr*m. Plans are now under way and announcements wfth complete program will be made shortly. You know what it includes, so plan to be here. The fellow who aranged and attended his own funeral services no doubt got a big kick out of the flowers, the eulogies and the tears. Relatives might have finished the fill by hurrying him and getting tlig whole job over in one day. Bring some fruits or vegetables to the Decatur city hall. Members of Aid societies of various churches have agreed to can such goods to b* saved for next winter when it will be distributed by the United Charities to the hungry and the needy. President Hoover's idea is for each community to take care of itself, which is what they will have to do any way. There is nothing 1 new about that thought for thats what most communities have been doing rather successfully for a hundred and fifty years. Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania is wrong a irood many times but he is right in hu recent statement that only when justice has been given the farmer will prosperity return. You may joke all you please but at least in this great middle j west there cannot be much doing | unless the farmer can buy. The driver's responsibility law will become effective in Indiana October Ist. after which time it will be best for every one who takes hold of a steering wheel on a car to know what he is doing. Once a reckless driver has an accident which causes the SIOO damage to the other car, he must post bond or secure Insurance before he can have another license. It may be a little drastic but it will tend to stop the don't care fellow with an old car that isn't worth more than I a few dollars from assuming charge of the highways.

Entries for the various exhibits in the big street fair may be made any time after next Tuesday by calling at the Chamber of Commerce rooms. Entries will close on the evening of the 12th. Valuable premiums are offered and it is hoped that every one will try in some field in the big exhibit. Calvin Coolidge Is a wise old bird, too wise to be drafted to run for President at this time. He has had all the honors and there Is no particular reason why he should try tc pull the chestnuts out of the fin’. I They are so well cooked now they wouldn't be worth much if he could I get them and he is smart enough to know he couldn't. The annual c'ean-up is on at Lake Wawasee and investigations will continue now that the season is practically over. Reminds us of Miami where roulette and other forms of gambling flourish until the snows begin to slip away from north of the Mason and Dixion line and then officials make a big show, raiding the joints and destroying paraphanalia in a manner that makes good newspaper copy but the next autumn every one is right back on the job. A lot of wise folks are now proposing plans to end the economic slump and some of them have merit. The trouble is that there doesn't seem to be any genuine cooperation, any working towards a given point. Most any thing would help if every one agreed to it and said “this will bring good times." That thought alone would help for much of the depression is still in our minds. Its great to be thrifty but most folks are saving to such an extent that they interfere with progress. The gasoline tax may eventually take care of the entire cost of road mafntainence in Indiana. At least that's the honest opinion of Floyd 1 Williamson, auditor of state after announcing that collections for the month of August are two million doßars and the largest totals ever collected since the license became effective. Distribution for a thir-teen-month period will be made next March Ist and should bring a fat sum to each county in the state besides the amount turned over to the state highway commission.

If ? * The People’s Voice This column for the rise of our readers who wish to make suggestions for the general good , or discuss questions of inter- | eat. nease sign your name to I show authenticity. It will not be used if you prefer that it not be. ; ♦ Editor Daily Democrat: Have read with interest the suggestions offered ini regards to getting fruits and vegetables for winter aid of the poor. Would like to offer whatever help or suggestions that I may be alfle to give and as 1 am now among those unemployed I cau I give freely of help and if there ' could be suggestions made to use ’ help now I believe that there are ' many others in. the city that are : only partially employed or idle that would be glad to help. The situation this winter is bound to be as bad as the most sceptical will admit. Possibly a plan such as Fort Wayne had last winter, that of cutting wood and selling samel could be inaugurated for employ- ] ment of some sort is preferred to j charity. Perhaps one of the different I plants of the city has spare re-' frigeration room where spare! fruit and vegetables could be kept at favorable temperatures and at I a saving over canning. Then if canning is preferred I why not make a request for spare I | canfi. Again offering my help I am' leaving it to your choice to place] this in your columns or turn it over to the chairman of the United Charities. This is a problem that surely needs discussion NOW and I don’t know of a better place than the of your paper. So for this time I am UNEMPLOYED.

EUROPE'S LORDS OF CHANCE OPEN WAR ON GOULD Luxurious Casino Challenge To American’s Riviera Supremacy Monte Carlo, Sept. 2. —(U.R) —As a challenge to Frank Jay Gould, the gambling overlords of Monte Carlo have opened the most luxurious gambling palace in the world, where you can challenge the croupiers to play anything, from pinoche to ping-pong, with the sky as the limllt. It was the Society of Sea Baths, | owners of the famed old casino onthe rock, which is still open for; 1 business, that conceived this new palace of chance. The casino is at the water’s edge, of the great expanse of blue Modi- ] terranean. Six months ago this

rim of the gold coast was a bleak affair. Now it boasts a gambling casino which knows no equal, a luxurious five-floor hotel adjoining the tables for tired business men, and off the coast floats a “show boat,' 'also part of the establishment. Ocean Liners The casino expects an enormous influx, and to take cure of the overflow so that they do not go on to San Remo, Cannes, Nice, or Juan-les-Pins, two 15,009-ton ocean liners have been chartered to anchor off shore and serve as floating hotels for the remainder of the summer. If business is bad. one of the I hotels can steam away. To inaugurate the casino, the sea-baths' directors decided to kill ■ a persistent rumor. They have in ■ vited Miss Jeanette MacDonald, of] film fame, to prove to the public l that she is not dead, not the victim | of a shooting affray growing out of i a love affair with a famous prince. | That story run the rounds of | Europe and obituaries of pretty ] Jeanette were printed in every I language of Europe. It was rumor;ed that she was the third party in ;a triangle affair between a crown | prince and his new princess-bride. I All that time Miss Macdonald was actually hard at work in Hollywood. Jeannette Rumors But the rumor kept going around and despite the fact that rumor has it now that Jeanette is not Jeanette at all. but her sister, the film star is making a personal appearance to prove that reports of her death were grossly exaggerated. The smartest set of cosmopolitan society, recruited from the courts and the famed salons of Europe, was invited to the opening. The I six bars, three dance floors and roof
