'©ic bandits were busy over the weekend all over this part of the state and it begins to look as though the government will have to maintain an army of several . millions to keep them from carrying off every thing loose. That may help to solve the unemployment situation. Advertise it, Mr. Merchant, if . you wish to sell it.

real purpose—to encourage the continued growth of a business which has meant much for this county. That’s why it is sure to be a great success. Along with that those who attend will enjoy every feature and there are to be many of them. Berne entertained Paul McNutt last evening and from reports his address pleased all who heard him. He is dean of the Indiana University and one of the leading candidates for the democratic nomination for governor of Indiana, a broad man of splendid character and a real fellow. Whatever his political successes, and his future looks very bright, his able addresses are always worth while. Nearly twenty thousand lives were lost in automobile accidents in the United States the first eight months of this year, breaking all previous records. Whether its because of the gain in number of cars in use or because we are just naturally reckless, is difficult to decide but certainly we don't seem to improve, regardless of laws and warnings. Other nations are joining England in doing away with the gold standard of money. France and the United States have it all and so they will use silver as a base. And then what? We don't know and we doubt if even the wise William Jennings Bryan could answer. Perhaps silver will become as valuable as gold some day and perhaps it means a complete failure of the nations that are trying to restore prosperity by simply providing more cash per capita. Perry Swank. 15-year-old boy. murdered a filling station operator to rob him of $44. He has changed liis confession and' pleads not guilty. His mother says he did it for a thrill but that's a worn out excuse that always was silly. He did it to get some money with which to sport around and he deserves the punishment the tew provides for such offenders. His age perhaps should save him from execution but nothing should keep him from spending his days in prison. Thats where such youngsters belong for the safety of society. o ♦ ♦ ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two • . 1.

PARIS THEATRE OWNERS FIX PAY Paris, —(UP) — The maximum salary of Parisian stage stars is to , be fixed at S2O daily as the result of an agreement reached among I theater directors here. The new scale which is to beI come effective in October, is to ap , ply at first to the theaters of modi ern drama. Later, music halls and theaters specializing in light operas 1 and musical comedies, may enter 'I into the agreement if it proves suc- | cessful. If the star is the sole drawing i power of the play then there is a J perq»utage of the box-office receipts, but the actual salary will remain limited to S2O a day. Furi thertnore, the producer has the I right to determine whether the star i really has more drawing power than the production itself. Objections to this agreement ; have already been voiced by members of the I nion des Artirtes, to which most of the actors and actresses here belong. They generally express the fear that somdiI rectors will take advantage of this i' special reduction to cut salaries. Horticulturist Warns Os Alfalfa Weevils Missoula, .Mont., Sept. 29. —(U.R) — Montana farmers were warned recently to exercise every prei caution to prevent the appearance lof the dread alfalfa weevil. George Knight, state hortlcul■turist. announced that the weevil . was creeping very close to the , state borders and in event its J march was not halted the state's , , million dollar alfalfa seed indus- ’ try would be. ruined. 1 ■ The weevil has infested alfalfa .' fields in Wyoming and Idaho, I causing thousands of dollars | worth of damage. Knight said that the only satisI factory method of preventing the p | weevil from entering Montana was the inauguration of a border in- | spection system similar to that used by California. • — o ' Marriage To Bar Pupils From Ohio School a i- London, 0., Sept. 29.—(U.R)—Mar- •- riage of public school under-gradu-s ; ates in London will automatically [bar them from further attendance n in the city's schools by terms of a d, resolution adopted by the board of i-' education. e ■ The board's resolution said such marriages had "a demoralizing efv feet upon the morale of the stu- '. • dent body” in stating that henceo I forth the young couples "shall be y ■ barred from admittance" to the •schools.

SCIENTIST SEES [ END OF EARTH J Oxford, England, —(UP) — Sir I ! Francis Younghusband believes I | that the universe is running down [ .and that in time the human race h I will be faced with extinction H through lack of heat. I I He said recently: "In a certain number of thousand of millions of pl years the sun wil have radiated aiji way in heat. This earth will become unfit for human, or any’ other living habitation. And all life and love and duty and every other lovely thing for which we have most urgently striven, will have vanished as a . light extinguished." ’ Commenting on the slowing up of the universe Younghusband said: "The universe is running down we are told by astronomers. The second law of thermo-dynamicts is their god. Non can dispute it. It lays ( down that heat radiated away is never recovered. "Slowly but surely and inevitably the heat of the sun ajid all those other suns, the stars, will be radiated away. There will be one vast heat death.” Sir Francis believes there may j be some hope for recovery from this approaching disaster. "In the deep recesses of space,” said Sir Francis, “under conditions as yet unknown, radiation may be reconstituted. matter may be reborn". Baby British Princesses Pose For Photographers Ixmdon.
