Every good citizen is a soldier these days. Its important to get this country back on a plane of prosperity and to do that the services of every one is required. The new bus line to Bluffton and Marion will prove convenient for the people of this community and we hope the patronage will warrant its continuance. The Civic Section of the Woman's Club has concluded another successful campaign for fruit for the Adams County Memorial Hospital and are most grateful to all j who have made possible this result. | Hundreds of cans of excellent fruit: are secured in this manner each I year and assures the finest deserts j for patients during the year. Governor Leslie stopped here a 1 few moments last evening and he ' is still enthusiastic about the won-1 derful Dairy Day given here a! month ago. He declared again it was the very best day he has bad since he went into office and he is | hoping for a return of the occasion. | He delights in mingling with ! “folks” and that's what he did here that day, he declares. Now there seems to be a half I dozen democrats in Indiana who I want to represent the state on the * National committee. All of those ' mentioned are splendid fellows and most of them capable but the outstanding man is Lew Ellingham. We believe when the time comes the committee will choose him and the delegates to the next state convention will approve that action by 1 electing him. A committee of democrats, Ed Bosse, E. L. Ehler, Herman Myers. Floyd Hunter, Chris Musselman of Berne and Jacob Long, Geneva, have circulated petitions here which recommend Lew Ellingham for National Committeeman and the men have shown pep and ability. From yesterday noon until this afternoon — just twenty-four hours —fifteen sheets of paper were filled with names of Adams County boosters. Good work boys.

New York says legitimate business ) has nothing to fear and every one J agrees with him. that is the bus- ) iness that has stood the strain of the past three years ought to be able to get by. His reply was in answer to the statement that business might hold back because of the excellent chances for the democrats winning in next year’s campaign. Why any one would fear a democratic administration after the recent experiences is beyond us and too silly to even require a reply from Governor Roosevelt or any one else. Several Adams County farms are to be sold at auction soon. This should not cause any alarm, in fact it is an encouraging sign for the sooner properties get into the hands of real dirt farmers who start to work them out. the better it will be. It has already been shown that in numerous cases this brings the best results. The results this fall will be watched with much interest. Farms are coming back right now and we believe will soon be the best property one can own. If you can purchase an Adams county farm at present prices, we can't imagine any better way to invest. Well!

Due to the illness of Marie Dressier, the production of “Emma" was held up for two months at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Another heavy loser was Clara Bow, who gave up the role in I “City Streets.” In this case, her! misfortune was the break that gave Sylvia Sidney her start in the ' films. These illnesses and accidents not only have affected the players, but have cost the studios thousands of dollars in the readjustment of their plans. YOU DON'T GOSSIP? LISTEN ANYWAY. John M.

JACK AND JILL CUTTING DOWN ! COLLEGE COSTS Pair And Father Find Financial Hill Too Steep San Francisco. Nov. 14—(U.R) — Tlie financial hill that father: traveled up—along with Jack and Jill when they went to college — has proved a little too steep this year, and Jack and Jill and father all have come tumbling down to n much lower level of school expenditures, California universities reveal. For instance. Jack and his college friends are making fewer excursions to San Ftancisco and other cities over week-ends — chiefly because Jack and his friends have fewer cars now. Student owned automodes have declined. Jill is willing to ride on. street cars, and doesn’t insist on a taxi. Furthermore, she is said by soda fountain clerks to be perfectly willing to drink coca cola, or any] other five cent beverage, without hinting for one oi those fancy limei freezes. At Stanford, arrangements have been made for holding inexpensive dances on the campus, and everyday attire is acceptable at campus functions. Both at Stanford and the University of California, fraternities’ and sororities are turning from the use of high-priced dance orchestras. and are giving student musicians more employment. One boy at Stanford has the very unique position of swarming up a 210-foot flagpole on the campus twice a year, and giving it a new coat of paint as a means of helping himself through school. Other students have equally ingenious methods of earning a living College boy salesmen are numerous. according to the records. o— MORE ACREAGE IS OBTAINED t CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) be secured.

The president’s idea also is to stimulate a budding boom to aid unemployment.’ It was indicated home building had fallen off nearly 80 per cent In recent months, due to fear that the prospective home builder could not pay for his house on present terms. | The building trades all over the country as a result have been hit, together with kindred industries.: Normally, Mr. Hoover said, some 200.000 homes are built in the United States each year, valued at $2,000,000,000. He felt if that activity could be restored it would go a long way toward solving the unemployment situation in many sections this winter. The idea behind the «heme, as the president’s statement explained it. is to permit banks all over the country holding mortgages on homes to rediscount those mortgages with the new banks. The local banks can pass on this relief from pressure of credits fall-

ing due to the home owner or ] Ihilder. As it is, many banks hold mortgages on homes that are past due 1 and the owners cannot meet I them. The banks or the buildings and loan associations do not want ■ to foreclose. They would then I find themselves owning an increasingly great number of houses and land from which they derived no income but on which they had to 1 pay taxes and upkeep. The 12 new’ home loan discount, banks, or fewer if that number is| not necessary, would have an orig-' inal combined capital of $150,000,-1 000 under the Hoover plan. This would make it possible for them to rediscount mortgages up to $1,800,000,000. The money would be raised locally in the sections designated. If a section failed to subscribe the capital needed tor the local] new bank, the government would! make up the total. But a scheme has been included to turn over the government’s stock to private ownership as rapidly as possible. Each bank Is to have an initial capital of from $5,000,000 to $30,000,00(1 depending on the need in Its district. They are to conduct no original business, but will bb restricted purely to rediscounting mortgages held by such institutions as building and loan associations, savings banks, farm loan banks and the like.

The president said this would result in a “bond of high grade as to quality atxd security.” They would be acceptable as security for government and postal de- ’ posits. The 12 banks would be superI vised by a "federal home loan board” with headquarters in Washington. The whole plan is subject to approval by congress. It was submitted in preliminary form to savings banks, building and loan associations and similar institutions in all parts of the country, and was understood to have been given their approval. o Niece Recovers Ring Aberdeen.
