National Advertising Representative SCHEERER, Inc. 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago 115 Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies Dairy Day plans are going for- i ward rapidly now and without a hitch. Watch this paper next Monday for some real announcements as to program. Its going to be a big affair. From the noise that Philadelphia i vrowd made when Martin made his 1 'home run yesterday, after playing 1 the most sensational ball all through the series, convinces us that old "Peppy'’ could have a job! 1 there in case the Cardinals got tired of him. The folks in the Chicago office of the Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corporation are promising a surprise 1 for the Dairy Day celebration and ' the boys here are trying to guess! l what it will be. They don’t know but they feel sure it will be good 1 and will add to the already attruc- 1 tive program. ; The action towards a losening I! of the money from the vaults of L the.rich caused the stock markets to make the best upward gain in , two years. The people sense i quickly auy genuine effort to end the depression. Congress will act very unwisely if they do not make th£jiecessary efforts to start the wlffcfels moving. There never was a better time to buy the things you need and we predict there will not be another as good in many years. All kinds of merchandise are Ihe lowest price in years with a selection to meet every demand and the local stores , are filled with wonderful values. Look them over and do some trad- (

ing. We have hit bottom and started upward and will come fast. Next Wednesday this city will entertain some ten to twenty thousand visitors if present plans 1 do not go awry and we are sure I they will not and included in that {number will be many successful 'and distinguished men whom you j will be glad to see and meet and j hear. Lets put on our best and show the world we are fighting j pessimism with optimism. That's II he stuff that wins. Eleven million chickens gone. Who was the thief? On January X, lb Jo. there were 470,463,000 chickens on the farms of this country and a year later there were only 459,402,000, according to the Department of Agriculture. There have been a lot of jokes about chicken stealing in the past but this is getting beyond the funny stage. "Wild Bill” Hallahan came through with another victory for his home team, the St. Louis Cardinals, making it three to two and giving his club a good edge on the series. They return to St. Louis tomorrow for two more games, if necessary, and the two to one odds j have switched from the Athletics 'to the Cards. It lias been a wonderful series up to now and the fans have gotten a real kick out of it. ' The General Electric Company has decided upon a plan which will virtually guarantee against I layoffs for six months, beginning | {November Ist and tlie employes themselves will decide whether or not they wish to approve or disapprove this desire to aid the unemployment situation. It at least shows an earnest desire by this I great business corporation to stand by its employes and to help the country generally. With similar slops being taken by the government and by big business in general there are some real trends towards a better day. Hoover ha* hit the right cord finally. If there is any way to restore a semblance of prosperity to this country, the large eastern banks and the Kedi ral Reserves will have to losen up on their credit system and make it possible for those holding mortgages to realize some return. When hard times come, the money soon disappears into the vaults of the few who can afford to hold it and consequently all progress stops. That’s the trouble now. at least its one of the very serious ones, and ..ny thing that will cause a new How of money into the life blood veins of this country, will produce good results. A considerable problem faces the Democratic national committee in deciding whether delegates to their national convention shall be selected upon the basis of the new reapportionment. Under the rule I governing the election of delegates, each statu is entitled to send as delegates double the number of senators and representatives elected from that state. The rule provides tiiat each Congressional district shall elect t*o 'convention delegates. On account of the confusion that would b# occasioned by auy change, there is a definite sentiment at the committee headquarters for the election of delegates on the basis of the apportionment of representation in the present Congress, rather than making new arrangements at this tinie.
