Inc. 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago 415 Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member of The mdiana League of Home Dailies Lets drive the blues away—every one for Dairy Day. Rather good heat wave for September. but we wouldn't feel we were finishing the hottest summer ever recorded if it were otherwise. It was ninety-four in the shade yesterday. The program is being carefully worked out now for Dairy Day which comes October 14 th and while not quite complete it is far enough along to assure you it will be a real day with lots of visitors and something doing from early morning until evening. The big parade, you have heard of it but you have never really seen it for it won t occur until next Thursday during the street fair. Vernon Aurand is chairman and says its going to be good which nakes it so for Vein knows. And thats only one of the high spots of the fair. The slashing of salaries, road levies and other funds does not seem to have been a local idea. All over the state the budgets were shaved to the lowest point compatible with good government. When we come to an emergency we must meet it in the way best for every one concerned and thats what the officers here have tried to do The red. white and blue lights ere up. the decorations are being hung and from now on every one will be busy getting things ready for the big fair which opens next Tuesday. Monday will be set-up day and at nine o'clock the next morning the big show will he on. If you don't have a good time it will be your own fault.. The state tax board is certainly using all its power in disapproving bond issues over the state and during this time of tax reductions it may meet approval but its a dangerous thing just the same for a board to have such power. The time will probably come when that fact will be much more noticeable than now and then a mighty howl will probably go up. Judge Erwin will clear tne Adams county docket by dismissing some thirty-four cases which have been thereon for many years and promises to continue the program until only those cases which are really alive remain. There seems to be no good reason why a cause should remain on the docket for a do2en years. Either it ought to be tried or dismissed and the judge proposes -that shall be done here. Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is going to can fruits and vegetables for the needy and instead of having it done over a period of time they have

set aside a day when the goods will be brought in and the whole community will join in a public canning bee that will provide pleasure . and attain a volumn of fruits and vegetables, getting the job over in a single day. Thats a good idea, t In other words it we make such jobs a pleasure thats what they are. [ Judge Sturgis who is representing > the city of Bluffton in the big Wa--1 bash dredge case now being heard i here is quite proud of the light and 1 water plant owned by his city and has a right to be. The plant is municipally owned and for years has shown a handsome profit—so great as the judge pointed out in his discussion—that a special act of the legislature was enacted so that profits could be diverted to build the city municipal hall of which also rtie judge and all other Blufftonites are justly proud. Governor Leslie is opposed to government dole for Indiana workers and his arguments are sound. This state like all others must take care of her own situation and that can best be done where possible by furnishing employment at living wages. To hand out food and fuel freely to those able to work is a ; serious practise and precedent. We may have to do some of it but lets do it ourselves in our own communities and lets think up ways and means for providing work for those who need it. Where that is done the recovery will be much more rapid and good times will continue longer. One third of the real estate in Cook County, Illinois, where Chicago is located —was offered at delinquent tux sale Tuesday. Its value was announced as over three billion dollars and 396.000 individuals are affected. -Sixty-nine million dollars is the total delinquent tax out of two hundred fifteen million which was originally on the tax duplicates. To redeem this property will cost the owners a lot j of additional money but the chances are..that the property will not be i sold on a large scale, as the profesional delinquent tax buyers are not interested in this sale, according to reports.-Columbia City Post. o ♦ ♦ ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS ' I Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two t 1.

FAMED ESSAYIST TO BE HONORED Paris, Sept. 11.—(U.R)—Michel de Montaigne, the famed 16th Century essayist, is to have a statue erected in his honor here. Montaigne was the first to turn to the essay form in literature, but lie passed unnoticed by his countrymen until the middle of the past century when the Marquis de Lamoignon and a pharmacist named Armaingaud rediscovered him. While the noble and the pharmacist discussed the literature of Miontaigne the son of the latter listened and learned. He too became an ardent admirer of the French essayist. Today at 89 he is noted as an authority on Montaigne as well as a foremost medical man in the fight against tuberculosis. Dr. Armaingattr is the founder of the French League for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. Dr. Armaingaud has one of the finest collections of his favorite author in the world including ail the editions of the essayist's works and one rare volume, valued at $5,000, which is annotated on the margins by Montaigne himself. r REUNION CALENDAR Sunday, September 13 Bell Family Reunion, Legion Memorial Park.

WEIRD EFFECTS PLANNED FOR CHICAGO FAIR Lighting Experts Promise Wizardry In Illumination of Exposition By Julian T. Bentley, I P Staff Correspondent Chicago. Sept. 11. (U.R) —Modern wizardry of light and shadow will produce weird, beautiful illuminating effects at the lake front Century of Progress Exposition, Chicago's World Fair of 1933. Fantastic, almost eerie, lighting arrangements will throw into sharp relief of ever changing colors the buildings of revolutionary design, which are rising upon the manmade land of the exposition site. In the basement workshop in the administration building, the secrets are revealed. Here electrical experts under Edwin D. Tilson, illuminating engineer, are at work on the problem of supplying the light. Here, with miniature models of the exposition buildings, the engineers work, playing intricate patterns of many colored light beams or. tower and facade; shifting the angle of reflecting, experimenting with shadings which run the gamut of the spectrum; noting each effect carefully; and producing startling and beautiful effects. Prisms, slowly revolving cylinders beariag long neon tubes, tans and motors throw ever changing beams of light, tongues of flame and complex whirling patterns of light and shadow upon the building models. Gay. bizarre cut-out patterns for wall niches gleam with an almost barbaric splendor as the brilliant shades from the gas-burn ing bulbs shine through from behind. Then slowly the dazzling colors give place to softer shades as a revolving cylinder of long neon, tubes begins to turn behind the pattern. A "Column of Fire" burns within a tall glass cylinder, the orange flames rising and falling, ever licking upward. "With simplicity and economy the watchwords of the engineers, the secret of the lig'itiug effects often is quite simple. BARGAINS — Bargains tn living room, dining room suite, mattresses and rugs.
