With a surplus of potatoes, wheat. catJlt. hogs and about every thing • else we can t imagine any great amount of suffering over the land. Surely some one will figure out a plan that will ease up each side ■of such a problem. i Capone is hanging on to the last thread in his battle for liberty but the cords are being drawn tighter; ami tighter and it looks as though he would be away from the danger of other gangsters soon. That will be a relief to the public and perhaps to Scarface himself. We have had a number of subscriptions sent in for the Victory Fund and will of course appreciate any you care to make. This county should gladly give its share for this cause—the money to be used for a campaign that will correct some of the ills of government—and we need some corrections. Decatur's handsome new Federal building will soon be ready for occupancy and it is one of the best to be found in any small city in the country, adding to the appearance and providing a very comfortable boilding for Uncle Sam's force to work in. The dedication of it should be in keeping with the improvement. M innie Judd says she murdered a couple of girl friends in self defense and then to make the defense complete, she cut them into pieces, packed them in a trunk and shipped them. When she called for the baggage, blood was oozing out and she fled. That’s a wierd story of seif defense and her attorneys will probably tel! her she is crazy and so defend her. Just what will come of the conferehce between President Hoover and Premier Laval of France will not known for some time for there is much secrecy about it all so far as the public is concerned, and that’s perhaps just as well, but one thing is sure and that is that the President is mighty happy its over. They say he looks very tired and worn as a result <4 earnest sessions with the Frenchman.

There is no question that Hie people of this city and county want the sugar factory reopened if there is any way it can be done and any . assistance that can be given locally will be rendered cheerfully. For nearly a score of years this ■ was a leading industry and we are missing it rignt now, the season ! when the big mill should be operatI ( ing twenty-four hours a day. Hard roads save money. They do it in reducing the cost of operating motor vehicles. The U. S. Bureau of Public Highways finds there is an actual saving of 1.6 cents a mile on hard-surfaced compared with gravel or sanded roads. Even if the traffic were as low as 500 vehicles a day, the bureau calculates, the extra first cost of hardsurfacing a road would be canceled or "saved” in six years. Americans who object to their Federal income taxes should examine the English tax rate. A single man or woman in America earning $2,000 a year pays $5.62 in income tax. This salary in England is taxed approximately $375. A married man in the U. S. with the same income pays no tax while his English neighbor pays $312.50. With a $4,000 income and one child, the American would pay $1.12 while the English citizen would pay $725. Finishing touches have been put on Second street and it is attractive, worth whatever effort required to get the improvement. Wendall Macklin, the contractor has done a good job; Dick Myers, the superintendent has been alert and with Engineer Ralph Roop, has seen that the work was done so that the greatest benefits will be derived by the pubßc. The rest ol t h.e contract — Marshall, Short street and Washington—are being rushed along to completion and! will soon be ready for use. Its a ' fine improvement. Local officials have dug up a marijuana farm west of here and Gv* proprietor. Jesns Veles. a Mexican. is under arrest. Its queer how these things spring up. Here is a weed or a plant tliat when dried and smoked in pipe or cigarette is said to give a fellow a regular old fashioned fighting jag and it is said that a number of the young men hereabout have been indulging. Along with it Veles had a supply of moonshine which he may have used for his own satisfaction or that of customers. Possession of either is in violation of the laws of Indiana.
