The prices on grains are still ridiculously low. War in the East might bring some temporary financial benefits but we know from experience that we pay for most profits thus made. Booms are never a good thing for a community or a nation. * I I ■ 111 ’ - .... If you have been overlooked in the drive for funds for the United Charities, you can still get in by calling Cal E. Peterson, chairman .or any of the members of the committees. Local merchants are asking you for your business and they deserve it. Their announcements this week have been most attractive. We urge you to patronize these people who are for you 100 per cent. ■Under the game laws of Indiana iuis now permissable to go out and knock bunny over for your dinner. The open season began Wednesday of this week and we may expect them on the market most any time now-. The drive by United Charities was a splendid success and while we don't know the exact results in dollars and cents we feel the business men have shown their attitude to be just right, in other words we will meet any contingency that arises. Today and tomorrow are special trading days in Decatur and the stores are packed with bargains. Don’t miss any of them. Look them over and buy. This is even a.-good time to start your Christmas purchases if you see w hat you want. Mrs. Caraway of Arkansas would ■ike to succeed her husband in the United States senate and seems to have a fair chance to be the first woman, to actually serve in that body. Mrs. Felton of Georgia served one day some years ago. But Mrs. Caraway probably will never equal the l brilliant Thad Caraway. 1 . . Hundreds in this county have signed petitions for Lew Ellingham - fßr democratic national committee- -- man to succeed the late Charles A. Greathouse and as many more could be secured if time were given and if this were needed, which we don't feel is. There is no argument about it. Adams County pre-

fers Mr. Ellingham for this position. I Defense attorneys for George ! Adams, on trial for murder of two prohibition officers at Fort Wayne ’• last summer, will attempt to prove t he was temporarily Insane. Perhaps he was but that fact probab2 ly wouldn't make him a safe play--11 mate to be running around, free to 5 have another "coniption fit” when 9 crossed. 5 3 j That was a sad picture we had of Rev. and Mrs. McKimmell of i Darlington, Indiana, en route to Phoenix. Arizona to assist their daughter. Mrs. Judd, charged with the murder of two women. Certainly seems like a severe punishment to put upon these good people who have spent their life in preaching and teaching the gospel. , The city of Decatur will start ! soon upon the job of removing the , unsightly poles from the streets. . the first section being the lines on Second street. We believe this is a wise action. The improvement . is needed, it will furnish employ- . ment, the city has the money so it will not effect taxes. The bids will be received December Ist and we . hope they go right ahead with the work. An lowa law which makes doci tors a part of the police system is being studied by the Indiana board of health. The law compels phys icians administering treatment to any person suffering injury by violence appearing to have been received in connection with the commission of any criminal offense, to report to the sheriff within twelve hours. The purpose of the law is to assist law enforcing officers in apprehending criminals who may have been wounded while committing a crime. Governor Roosevelt of New York, is advocating a law with teeth in it, to make the possession of a machine gun a criminal offense. His suggestion is wise and, if enacted into law and then enforced, would be a great curative for certain crimes. Bank bandits are usually armed with machine guns—especially the class of larger robberies. No one except a law and bank official needs to have a machine gun. If any other has one, he is rightly a subject for well defined suspicion that he is a crimI inal, with criminal intent. The ■ sale of fire-arms to the general public should be prevented.—Hartford City News. Lessons In English i Words often misused: Do not say “Here is a new contraption." Say device, or sippliance.

Eighty minutes was allotted the contestants who won their way into the finals with victories in county and state contests of the midwest. The championship is awarded to the husker with the largest load of grain shucked — usually about a ton of corn. The corn field where the bee is hold had been Carefully tended and guarded since planting time. Every effort of scientific fiarming was expended to grow on the plot ft typical lowa corn crip. It was divided into "lands" of about an acre each and each land has been assigned to a contestant. Huskers were handicapped *in efforts for a new record bjpeause recent rains had beaten some otthe stalks over and wet ground was expected to hinder the farm-er-athletes as they rushed from stalk to stalk. "An ear-hy-ear” broadcast of the contest was scheduled over a national NBC hookup from 11:30 to 12:30. The 1930 champion. Fred Stanl;en of Fort Dodge. lowa, did not defend his title, the business of being a professional farmer athlete. he decided after winning three championships, was not profitable enough to justify the long hours of "training" and expenditures involved. Chief favorites to succeed him were: Theodore Balko. Minnesota, and Orville Welch. Illinois. Both competed in the national contest j last year. Balko taking third and ■ iWelch fifth.

I * • + Crown of Thorns Editor Daily Democrat: An attractive woman past mid die age, while attending the funeral of her seventh husband was caught looking out of the corner of her eyes for a future prospect. That evening she made the remark. "That, men may come and men may go but I’ll go on forever.” From a physical standpoint it would be just as reasonable to 'think this lady could carry on forever as it is for the millionaires to continue robbing the people as they are at the present time. The press has been carrying extra head lines depicting the return of prosperity because of the ad- 1 vance made in the grain market. Let me point out to you how ab- ’ surd and misleading these state- ■ ments are. Poor people who were unable to' hold their grain because of finan-l cial obligations or lack of storage' room were compelled to sell their' grain at unheard of low prices,i from one half to three fourths of! the wheat crop has already reach- ■ ed the hands of the scalpers and ‘ most of it below forty cents a bushel. The rest of this crop must be used for feed and other purposes and the present advance in price is in the main filling the grafters pockets and will find a ■ heavy burden upon those who are unable to pay because of the advance of food prices. Please paruon me tor using this simple homely illustration as it portrays what has been and is going on in our nation. I believe if we d let down the bars of political prejudice that voters of both the old parties will heartily agree with the following story: A big over-grown, city chap whose size was all our of proportion to his age. pampered and spoiled, spent his vacation i% the country and his favorite sport was playing teeter-totter. He was so heavy that it required the combined strength of several of the boys where he was visiting to play this game with him and if the smaller boys didn't do his bidding he would beat up on them. He want- i

, ed to be up in the air about all the time and he didn't want to put forth any effort to keep the board going up and down. He wanted all the pleasure and he expected the country boys to do all the work. This worked just fine for a long time until the country boys told their older brothers about how this big chump was acting and :they told the smaller brothers that I they should organize, and the next time he got smart, they should all attack him at once. In a few days this big bully started to clean up . on one of the country kids and . j they all attacked him at one time, i' They took him down and severely •' beat up on him and made him . ■ promise from henceforth he would , play QB the square. I hope to see the day when farm|ers and laboring men will organize and attack these blood thirsty , i grafting millionaires and take them down and beat up on them until i they promise to play fair. Now I ! am coming to the best part of my i story. Hoover has the support of a political teeter-board, the republl--1 can machine. The country kids ! represents the farmers and laboring class, while the big city kid represents the millionaires. Their I power is vested in the high protec--1 tive tariff, which has built a wall ; around the JJ- S. and has made it possible for the rich to plunder will; they have been protected : while the poor has been neglected. Through class legislations rich l men are waxing richer and richer 1 while the poor are getting poorer ■and poorer. The contagion of this traft has l>een contracted by others and the only time they make a cut in price! is when they are driven to it tin-■ der the keen lash of competition.! and this leads me to make the bold statement. That it isn't the hold-! up of bank robbers and highway men that is running this country.! it is the holdup between producer and consumer. This holdup has broken down the basic principle of equality, it has closed factories, it has thrown millions of laborers out of work, it has caused millions to lose their homes, it is sending innocent children to bed hungry, it is changing good honest citizens into raging, communists and it has caused des-1 perate mothers to murder their offspring. It has caused men to: lose faith in humanity, it has driv-1 en individuals to commit deeds that are almost unbelieveable. • While thieves are punished for their crime, these holdup men who are in many cases a thousand timesl

■ worse are called masters of indus- : try. I Under the guise of helping the I farmer a tariff law was passed. I This law has driven farmers to ■ poverty, it has given millionaires the strangle hold and now lets ; have the remedy for the present. I deplorable conditions. Officers tried to tariffize, they 1 tried to debenturize, they tried to hoganize, they tried to jackscrew - the farmers up to the city’s level. 1 All of this has failed and the only 1 thing left to do is to knock the 1 city babies down to the country 1 level. When this is done and every body equally bears their responsibilities, again, the wheels of 1 industry will hum, every body will 1 have a job, money will not be made so easy but it will be better taken ■ care of; people will become more ' staple, the masses will not get rich but live more sane and be content--1 ed. . 1 At the present time millions of ! gallons of paint are needed, thousands upon thousands of rods of fence should be built, buildings should be repaired and rebuilt, fertilizer and drain tile ought to find a ready market, clothing, shoes, machinery and thousands of other things are needed and would have been bought and will be when prices of farm products and manufactured goods are equalized. This will lift the crown of thorns from 1 the farmers brow. Robert Sovine. Bobo, Indiana. On Crusoe It! nd There are now more th; n 2!K) per ' sons living on Robinson Crusoe's is land. 11l !■!
