The frost will soon be on the pumpkins which will relieve those bothered by hay fever and flies and mosquitos. Dredging the Wabash river is quite some project but this is not a very good season for the investment necessary if all the talk we have heard regarding taxes and expenditures means any thing. Roger Babson who makes a living by selling figures and guesses says business is eleven per cent below its mark a year ago. Well if thats all we iiave been making an awful fuss about it. Cut the rag weeds on the vacant lets and along the roads. They are a nuisance and they injure the health of a lot of folks. And they* certainly don’t add to the appearances. Some fellow wrote a New York newspaper with the suggestion that one-third of all the people in this country be shot at sunrise but the .. editor replied that it was impossible to get that many folks up at that hour in New York City. This community should support Dairy day and we believe will for it means much. The industry is one of the important ones and every farmer will appreciate hearing from the greatest men in the dairy business as to the outlook and the possibilities. The event will attract thousands of people and can - be made the outstanding day of the year. A week from today we will be all decorated up, the bands will be playing and the big annual street fair and agricultural show will be on. Its a good time to trade if "ou have time, you will also see your friends and enjoy it all. The program includes a hundred features worth seeing and you should arrange to attend all week. For thirty-seven years the Clti--zens Telephone Company has served this community and did it splendidly. We congratulate them and

with the re-election of the old board and the old officers the public may expect good service to continue. The company has an excellent rec1. ord and we are fortunate in having a home owned, well managed telephone plant. t - Paul McNutt of Bloomington will > deliver the address before the J Berne Chamber of Commerce Mon--5 day evening, the 28th. Mr. McNutt 1 who is dean of the Indiana Univers- , ity Law School is one of the bril- ) liant orators of the state and his messages on subjects of public interest are always worth while. Needless to say the meeting will be successful in every way. Its not an easy job to serve the public these days and credit should be given to those who courageously and wisely listen to all sugges- . tions and then act in the manner i which they deem will best serve 1 the people. This is a time for co- ; operation rather than fault finding and we are sure that spirit is prevalent here. > There is a common sense point 1 in tax budgets and rates and thats where we ought to get, which is easier said than done because so 1 many folks differ as to the exact location of that mythical point. . The fact remains that we desire to keep otfr county as good as the next one, that certain expenses must be met, that bonds and interest have to be paid when due and that the rate fixed upon the valuations must meet those demands. Few counties in Indiana have met the taxing problem with as much frankness and honest endeavor as has been displayed in Adams county. The officers are cooperating with the citizens and the interest being generally manifested here is encouraging. After all its the business of those who pay the taxes and we are sure that the results here will be, entirely satisfactory for the desire seems to be to do the very best for every one. which certainly is all that can 1 be asked. No doubt there is need and good reason for helping the poor and needy families of this community. Relief will be given cheerfully, because there is plenty of food and a willingness on the part of everyone to help those not so fortunate as the majority. To appreciate what this community has and the blessings enjoyed by our people as a whole, the Rev. Father J. J. Hennes, assistant pastor of St. Mary's Catholic church, made a comparison ot condtiions in this county and in and around Lake county. The later community depends solely upon industrial activitiea and thousands of men are out 1 1 of work. Men, women and children do not have shoes to wear and hundreds stand in the bread lines every day. It is their only means of obtaining a ration of food. Probably the greatest inconvenience or suffering we have here is part-time employment and want of profitable markets because of the excess bounty of crops, which should not I discourage anyone, but prompt us . with the desire to help those who . need help and make us grateful for : what we have. | I Q Household Scrapbook i' By ROBERTA LEE • (U.PJ ♦ Candles To add to the appearance of candles. varnish them with a coat of clear shellac.

ANOTHER SPANISH CUSTOM.

A ship built from lost ships is living a brief existence at the RKO-Pathe Studio in Culver City. The unique creation is in reality only part of a ship, being an exact replica of the control room of a I German submarine. Among its parts are a steering ; stand from the wrecked steamer I Harvard, a wireless set from the Japanese steamer Asama Maru, I which was dashed to pieces in a I storm off the California coast, and a speaking tube from the German submarine U-888. Most of its valves and gauges are relics of ships wrecked off the coasts of ' California and Mexico. Sergius Mihailov, former submarine construction expert with the U. S. Navy, designed the film craft and furnished the parts. You’ll see his handiwork in “Suicide Fleet.” ANYWAY, IT WORKED. Here’s one for Hollywood’s "1001 Nights.” Some time back, Author Charles MacArthur was engaged to write the dialogue for Joan Crawford’s picture, “Paid."

BRITISH HOUSE SQUARES AWAY TO MEET CRISIS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) les of motions to devote the remainder of the parliamentary term to government business and to dispose of the necessary budget resolutions from the committee of ways and means by midnight Thursday. Orders in council may be issued by the sovereign by virtue of his prerogative or by the authority of an act of parliament. Such aets. as the one MacDonald intended to submit, provide for carrying out | their own provisions. Thus approval of the national economy bill providing for making orders in council will provide the government with an emergency measure for rushing through its financial program. Attempts to incite riots outside parliament were curbed by a thousand police today after communists and other agitators unsuccessfully harangued a large crowd to demon strate against the coalition govern-1 ment, which won a vote of confi-! deuce last night. Tire demonstrations followed a vote of confidence obtained by the national government headed by MacDonald by the comfortable majority of 59 votes. Several arrests were made. Nine persons were held on obstruction charges and four were accused of assaulting the police. I The vote of confidence in the government, returned by a majority of 309 to 250, consisted of’approval ot MacDonald's motion that the house on Thursday resolve itself into a committee ot ways and means to deal with the financial situation. The vote of confidence was expected. but the size of the majority was pleasing to the government. Support of liberals and conserva- | tives was solid. Twelve laborites. including seven I ministers of the government, voted I for MacDonald. BIG PARADE IS ANNOUNCED tCOHTINUED FROM PAGE ON El The plan is to have everyone mat. querade to represent some particular thing or person. Several Amos and Andy teams have entered and one rube band has entered. Prizes will be awarded tor originality and ability. Two prizes will be given in this division of the parade. The new car parade also will be included in the line of march. All dealers of automobiles in the county will be entitled to enter cars in the new car line. The third feature of the parade will be the old car parade. Prizes will be offered for the oldest car in the parade operating under its own power. Besides the three features, the bands .will be in the line of march and other features will be added to make the Thursday event the biggest of the week. Entres in the stunt parade are asked to report to Mr. Aurand as soon as possible. -— —o ——— LAGRANGE HAS TANGLED CASES ICONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Huskins and Andrew Wolf. While the jurors labored over the charges and counter-charges of the two factions in the bank dispute, an examiner from the state banking department continued the examination which he started this week at the behest of local persons. Feeling between the two factions came to a head last week with a demand by a tew citizens that Attorney General James M. Ogden remove Foster from office. The peti-

tion sent to Ogden charged that Foster had taken money from liquor Interests to protect them, and that affidavits could be presented to prove the contention. Ogden advised that ouster action would have to originate in Lagrange courts, inasmuch as the prosecutor had not been convicted of any crime. Foster answered the demand with a charge that the ouster proposal was a smoke-screen growing out of his insistence upon investigation of the bank case. He charged that polities bore a heavy hand in the bank's affairs. State Senator Rollo I N. Walter, republican, wus cashier of the bank. Intimations of sensational irregularities in connection with the bank failure and subsequent liquidation activities, were made by Foster. These were' partly denied by the state banking department, but a deputy examiner was again st-nJ to Lagrange to check up ou the case. Foster said he could not be bluffed into receding from his demand for a thorough probe of the bank's affairs. He said irregular practices had'dissipated the $120,000 capital I stock of the bank, and that a large | deficit had resulted. Elmer O'Grady, former president of the defunct bank, was named liquidating agent. He and Senator Walter issued a statement denying all charges of irregularities by bank officials, and stating that the audit of state banking department officials would support their claims. o i WHEAT ADMITS TO STATE FAIR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE! the 1930 figure yesterday.
