Arthur Cutten of Chicago has made millions by buying wheat at the low price the past few weeks. B# Now' there's a man who undoubtedly feels that farming is a great business but he ought to share it with the fellow who did the sowing and reaping. Some how and some way and som® time the next few months you will be asked to donate a small amount to take care of such charity cases as are necessary and we know you will do so with a smile and with all the encouragement that*can be given to those less || fortunate than yourself. Plans to organize for taking care 4 I ot the needs of the unemployed of this.community have not yet been completed but we are sure this will be Jone. We may move a little slovT here but when we do, we act completely. The good people here, will we are sure, support any movement of this kind. The election returns piled up rather strongly democratic in some places. In New Jersey, Mr. Moore I k swept into office by a majority exceeding 200,000 and in the eighth district in Michigan the demo5 1 crata elected a congressman, Michael Hart by 5.000. He was defeated 4 year ago by four times that, showing some change in attitude II of the voters. The Miami News put out a prosperity issue Monday containing but Jwenty-two pages. Thats perhaps optimism and maybe radiates the brand of prosperity now abroad. A few years ago this paper had the v largest volumn of advertising in America and a twenty-two page paper was rarely issued on the ■ ■ slowest day. ■— l ■ ' •• " ■ Bandits seem to have a "pick" on Job Yaney's grocery at Daisy, | I having heyi it up twice within the g i past few weeks.

(land them in jail. That would stop I the epidemic for good we predict. We invite those who desire to employ labor or want work to use our advertising columns the next • few weeks without cost. Send in I your advertisement if you need a man to do any’ work and we will . run it free of charge. It' any man [or woman desires work, we will i make their announcement several j days without charge. Try it and ' perhaps the results will be more | than satisfactory. The voting trend appears very strongly democratic or anti-Hoover as you wish it. In almost every place where elections were held , Tuesday, excepting where the issues were entirely local, the democratic candidates scored victories. The voters are disgusted with the feeble efforts of the administration to correct whatever is wrong with the country. The next congress' will be democratic by two votes I unless this is changed between now . and December by deaths of members. This will probably mean the election of Mr. Garner of Texas as speaker of the house. The court room and the corridor near the sheriff s office have been filled the past few days with parents and other relatives of men charged with petty larceny, pleading for mercy. These are of course touching scenes which arouse the sympathy of those who witness them but these young men who have wandered from the paths of honesty should recognize the fact that law violations are just as serious now as ever and that those who commit larceny must pay the penalty. There can be no other course, once they appear in court and either confess their guilt or are convicted upon the evidence.

’ Young men should think seriously . before they start upon a career that is sure to prove disastrous. ’ The time to be sorry is before you ! get in trouble. i A number of Adams county folks i who believe it will be for the best I interests of the nation for the i democrats to win next year, have I sent in subscriptions to the Victory I Fund, indicating that they believe I in the methods being used, that of raising throughout the country the money with which to pay the national commitfee debt and provide funds for starting the campaign. ! That's much better for every one than securing it from big interests 1 which expect payment in some manner. If you desire to join the crowd, send in your contribution, any thing from a dollar up. —o I4_ 4 I Modern Etiquette —by— ROBERTA LEE ♦ — (U.R) ♦ Q.
