Times are so bad it is reported that some of the dollar-a year men are trying to get their jobs back again. Any business worth having is worth advertising and when you don't advertise the public soon begins to feel that way. You might as well quit paying rent for if you pay one you ought to pay the other. The merchant who has something to advertise and does it will sell his goods. Don't get any thing else in your mind. The public is watching the newspapers today as never before and you can test it out any ! way you want to. The grand jury is in session with a number of important matters to consider. The jury is composed of excellent men who will render a service to their community by acting promptly and to the best of their ability. We are all set to eat hot dogs, drink lemonade, eat our fill of cracker jack and taffy, see everybody and have a good time and of course we are anticipating a visit to the stock and poultry pens, the ; exhibits and the shows. It ought to be a great week. James Cowen, superintendent of the flower show to be given next week in connection with the street | fair is asking for entries and with j the many beautiful flowers in this locality there should be plenty of I them to make the show even a greater success than Jim and his I committee anticipate. Tile Wabash dredge case will not come up again until Wednesday, adjournment having been taken until that time.

among the unemployed. That’s much better than permitting your goods to go to waste. It is wise to raise funds for the coming winter for indications point very strongly that they will be needed but the thought occurs to us that it might be wiser if a city of a 100.000 population like Fort Wayne were to use four hundred thousand dollars to provide work for her people rather than to hand it out. in doles, the results would be better in the long run. Are you all ready for fair week? Its right here. Monday will be :t busy day and Tuesday morning, bright and early the show will start off. continuing until midnight Saturday. There will be many interesting features, big exhibits and the best you ever saw, the flower and fruit shows, midway, parades, free acts, music and a great big wonderful time. The government has not only decided to use Vermont granite for the Roger Clark memorial but Chairman Fess of the commission got real saucy and rebuked Senator Jim Watson for playing politics in the matter. Now he can't convince any one in Indiana that Jim*would do any such a trick as that. ____________ Another distribution by the Peoples laran and Trust Company next week will be a very acceptable incident. Officers are making earnjest effort to liquidate the institution land are meeting with very good , success, the eight per cent to be ' i»aid next week making a total of fifty-three per cent in a little over a year. Yon can forget the business worries of the week day if you will go to church where you will remember that after all the fuss and feather we make does not amount to so much after all. We flight and work and make money and lose it and some grow rich and some poor, but after all the end is the same and its the millions of years that come after this three score and ten that really count. Step out to church tomorrow and support your pastor and his aides. Dairy Day should be made a great big event. Cloverleaf Creamleries, Inc., will put it on and they will be glad for any support given I them by the local folks. We ought to join them for several reasons. , First, its a great institution for the community, second, dairying is one of the greatest businesses in which the farmer can engage and he ought to know more about it; third, it will be a day of many pleasures; fourth, similar days heretofore have proven splendid occasions for the merchants. So all in all it ought to be bigger and better than ever from every point of view. o ♦ ♦ ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS I | Below are the answers to the teat questions printed on page two ♦ « 1.

TEXAS STARTS 5-YEAR-PLAN FOR INDUSTRIES | Idea Attracts Attention of Other States Similarly Situated AUSTIN. Tex. (U.R)— Firing the imaginations of conservative business men and drawing the attention of the entire south, a “Five-Year-Plan" has been launched in Texas to help industry catch up with agriculture. Southwide attention was drawn to the plan—to be carried out by an organization of business mm named Progressive Texans. Inc. — at Governor Ross S. Sterling's recent cotton states conference, when delegates unanimously voted to recommend a similar program in each of their several states. Progressive Texans, the brain child of the state's three great regional chambers of commerce, is composed of outstanding business leaders of the state, led by John W. Carpenter, president of one of the state's dominant public utility companies. Its organization manager is Charles R. Tips, glassware manufacturer, who was drafted to the position. Its ultimate purpose, according to Tips, is to make of Texas a state as well known for its industries as for its natural re-

sources; and the need for such a program, in his opinion, is sufficiently and graphically shown by statement from the census: only one person in 46 in Texas is now engaged in industry, whereas the ratio for the United States as a whole is one in 13. Interests of other states in Texas conditions and the proposed remedial measure grows out of the fact that what is true in Texas is true, to a greater or lesser degree, in.' the other states which have depended on their soils and other natural resources as their principal source of revenue. Tips said. Governor Sterling, himself a business man and accounted several times a millionaire. l«elieves in the basic soundness of the project. he indicated in a commendatory statement issued *hile the Texas legislature was considering legislative remedies for oil and cotton overproduction. The governor observed that while much thought had been | given to curbing surplus production. too little attention had been paid to broadening and increasing markets as a means of combating overproduction. He pointed to ‘ Progressive Texans as an organi- ' zation which was making a worth--1 while effort in the latter direction and recommended a similar plan ' to all the predominately agricvl- ' tural southern states. o > BARGAINS — Bargains tn living • room, dining room suite, matfl tresses and rugs.

RUINS REVEAL INDIAN TRAVELS CHICAGO —(U.R) —Discoveries In-' dicating a previously unsuspected migration of the North American Indian have been made by Dr. Paul S. Martin of the Field Museum, working tn the Lowry ruin, near Ackmen, Colo. Reporting that excellent progress is being made in the excavatior(s, Dr. Martin wrote: "It would seem now as if this ruin is quite out of place geographically, since It is undoubtedly the work of Chaco Canyon people, who lived hundreds of miles south and east of this spot, in what is now New Mexico. The pottery types found are unlike anything here in the neighborhood, and belong also to the Chaco types. We i foui(d in a small passageway a I cache of 17 pieces of pottery, most of them complete. "A test trench through the great kiva has just been finished. The walls, floors and other remains are highly interesting, although very puzzling." Among noteworthy discoveries. Dr. Martin said, is a sacred spring. , which has been timbered and cribbed in prehistoric times. This seems to have served as a sort of sanctuary, for in the water at the bottom of this timbered hole were found 10 pieces of pottery am! t more than 40 wooden prayer- ' sticks.
