Tlie continued advances in the price of grains and stocks is encouraging and has caused more optimism than any that has occurred since we started down the decline in September of 1929. A Kansas court has held the Sunday newspaper a necessity of life and not subject to the "blue laws.” Everybody thought so but will be glad to have the question legally decided. The jury in tile George Adams murder trial at Fort Wayne with ! Ehinger, Rodenbeck.

The Red Cross is observing its fiftieth anniversary with plans for a campaign for funds that will permit them to continue the splendid work in which they have been engaged the half century. Adams oounty will as always do her part. The public is greatly divided as to opinion concerning the guilt of Mrs. Simmons, tried at Lebanon for the murder of her daughters, but on otte thing they are agreed —a horrible crime was committed and the authorities there should not stop until they have discovered and punished the guilty party. Bill Bashore, of Marion, has been sent to prison for life for stealing chickens. Perhaps that crime Is not really as serious as that ordinarily but Biil had served three terms in prison before and was convicted as an habitual criminal. He will spend his remaining days in Michigan City. Senator Caraway of Arkansas, brilliant orator and successful politician who worked his way from a barefoot country boy from the hills to tlie senatorship and who became a leader in that great law-making body, died suddenly Friday night. His passing is a loss to his state and to the nation for he had unusual ability and courage. President Hoover is trying to figure cut something that will save tlie country financially, his chief

worry being the two billion dollar deficit the United States will have by July if the present shrinkage continues and it may get worse, j Efforts to reduce overhead are being discussed and of course that .’ could be cut in two without damagt ing service greatly. 2 Rev. Orvil Rutledge, the evange--9 list who conducted interesting meet- - ings at Willshire and other places a is recovering from a shot in the J leg received while trying to rob ) a Fort Wayne filling station. He claims he was forced to conduct the holdup by a stranger who had a sawed off shot gun but the police smile at that and the evangelist will have to use every thing he has to convince the public and probably the jury of his innocence. State highway number sixteen, . between here and Huntington. is r being surveyed now with the idea 1 of paving it which should be the cue for this community to get busy towards urging that the entire stretch be completed next year. ’ We should also get busy on No. 54 - from here to Willshire. In 1933 the ' World Fair in Chicago will attract ■ thousands of tourists over those ■ roads in best condition and its important that we get in on this. The selection of a Democratic National Committeeman from Indiana to succeed the late Charles A. ' Greathouse will, it is expected, be , made soon. Among those prominently mentioned for the place is the Hon. Lew G. Eilingham, of Fort Wayne, former editor of this paper and now publisher of the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, largest democratic newspaper in the state. Needless to say the Adams county democracy is earnestly and enthusiastically for him. For more than forty years lie has been a worker in the Jeffersonian army. He has served in the ranks as precinct committeeman, district chairman. as secretary of state and always with the best interests of his party in mind. He is able, exper- , in every way fitted. He ‘ bfriy has an acquaihtance with the members of the committee having served the past year during Mr. Greathouse's illness, knows the workings of the organization and could immediately take up his duties. We believe the state committee will make a serious error if they do not choose this outstanding Democrat to represent Indiana on the National committee. , o >— ; ♦ I Lessons In English | < * Words often misused: Do not say "I shall write you tomorrow."

GANGSTER DIES ’ NATURAL DEATH I (Victor Os First Chicago Gang War Dies Os Heart Disease Chicago, Nov. A -(U.P.) —Jim Genna, eldest of the six brothers whose war for mastery of Chicago's underworld letft three brothers and their enemy, Dion O'Banion, slain, is dead. Genna died in lied of heart dissease at his home at Calumet City, Ind., where in late years he has been reputed director of Capone interests in that territory. It was the bloody Genna-O'Banion feud that cleared the field for the Ca- * pone syndicate. The death of the eldest Genna brother yesterday contrasted sharply with the early days of prohibition when with Angelo Genna. a ruthless gunman at the head, the clan seemed destined for domination. But the warfare with O'Banion proved the gang's downfall. After O'Banion was slain in his little flowershop in the shadow of a cathedral. Angelo, Mike and Tony Genna were slain in succession by tlie O Banion gang. Jim Genna was forced to flee to Italy for his life. There where he had hoped for a vacation with his racket-gotten gains, he was arrested and convicted of stealing the' Holy jewels of the Madona di Trapani and forced to serve a term at hard labor in an Italian prison. Not until 1929 did he return to this country to find Al Capone and his cohorts in full power. The “bloody twentieth" ward which owed its nickname, in part at least, to the wedding of the Genna power had *been taken over by the ‘syndicate” for which Genna was forced to go to work. In recent months Genna. who came here as a section band just before 192 u and bought his way to power with gunfire and bribes, had been ill. o COURT ORDERS EXTRA VENIRE TO BE DRAWN — (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) ; it is believed highly probable that women will serve on future Adams county juries.
