HAPPY NEW YEAR: We have said good-bye to 1931 and entered upon a new page of history. We are hoping it may bring you many joys and pleasures, enough to at least partially make up for the griefs of the past year if you have had any. We should not forget that while some of the fortunes ahead may be ruled by luck, most of your success or failure will depend upon your own efforts as always. We wilt be rewarded as we put ourselves into harmony with divine statutes and punished as we disregard them. Only two lamps will guide us —experience and conscious. If we profit by one and harken to the other, we shall avoid many pit-, .rails. The outlook here is not as bright as we would have it if we could oontrol it but we cun see some bright spots if we devote proper effort and energy to our jobs. We have a gdlden opportunity to get thi' sugar factory reopened, which ( would mean a million dollars fort this -community, provide employment for many and furnish a guaranteed and partnership crop. We believe that there is a chance to liecure a canning factory here and that would help. There are num- ■ "> ous things to be done and we must' ilo them. LeL all have faith in the govern-i meat, in our institutions, in our; leaders and in the fact that we still

We have work ahead but we can do it if we so resolve i and then keep up a determined]' 1 fight hroughont the year. We wish you all a Happy New I - Year. __________ The progressives are talking a ' , third ticket and talking it strong. •"Senator Norris replying to Charles I l>.

change the minds of the people but i of course it can pull a few strings. The senator will have to continue to stand pat on his high tariff and , a few other things that he may not be able to sell the folks who ' vote. It won't be long now until t we get into a real discussion of politics. ’ Finland didn't leave any doubt in 5 the minds of the rest of the world ? that so far as they are concerned > ) they do not like prohibition. The * vote in this week's election was about three to one for repeal. Just what that may mean in other countries cannot be known for conditions there may be far different than elsewhere. Along with the other resolution you made today we of course hope sincerely that you included one to renew your subscription to the Daily Democrat. There will be a lot of important news this year and you can't afford to be without the paper when you can get it for less than a penny a day by mail. Howdy John Wechter. Milton Werling and Dennis Striker, and good luck to you all as you enter upon your duties as county treasurer, clerk and commissioner. The people of Adams county have faith in you and know you will take care of these offices in the very best manner possible. |< If Europe is spending more money now to maintain armies ami | armament than when the World I War ended, there certainly is no ■good reason for this country to cancel foreign debts. We may not he able to collect at the present time but we can still have it coming. There were not so many head- . laches in the large cities today as I Iresult of the "morning after the ! night before" because most of the | sp< nders did not find it so ( easy to pay twenty dollars a bottle for extra dry. ' ' Don't just think some one else ; ! will do it but use every effort you can to help .secure the acreage J (needed to make possible the financing of the local sugar plant. It :

means a lot to you if you live in Adams county. Tint Hartford City mess looks like a good one and few people will feel sorry at any penalty imposed on those charged if they are guilty. Evidence seems to be piling up. Hope your first resolution is to keep smiling. That makes it easier lor you and every one else. — o « _j Lessons In English O ▲ Words often misused: Do not s.iy, "I have every confidence in my ability to succeed."

He speaks of : industry robbing the people and | fails to distinguish between work ( ) Ing millions and idle millions. ; . Where would our country be today l < if people didn't have the initiative | 11 to go ahead and provide work for . | city folks even though industry does I ■receive a customary profit? Per-1 I haps we might get together some time and sit on a log by a trout stream and discuss this while the i (fish nibble. Could meet him any place in the U. S. or Canada. His letters have some good points and also some mighty poor ones. He sure is a marvelous economist crying out like some last voice in the wilderness. For instance our present delinquent tax approximates no more than usual so why does he go up in the air over that? He also says to “knock the citybabies down to a country level." Just how would he do that and what does he mean. Doesn’t he know that the city has a different standard? Now I'm no champion of the big moneyed interests, not even their friend or distant relative, but am a friend of justice. It is easynow for any demagogue to catch the ear of the people critizing one I and all indiscriminately. Why anta- I gonize industry? What would our country do without factories to de-velo-pe raw resourses and give ent-1 ployment to millions of people? He seems to have lost faith in all humanity. He speaks of "talking tax I reduction" well that is all some do is just talk. Where was he when the fight was on last fall. Perhaps he I was burning his old catalogues a- I bout the time the men called on the city lathers. Was he talking tax reduction at the time of the appeal I in Decatur before the state tax board? The oracle from Bobo says a good many commissions should be abolished. Which? Be specific and why I cut teachers salaries? Can you find I a better moral force in any community than a good school teacher? It looks like after putting in thousands of dollars in training to teach the pupils of school age that a thousand dollars per year is very reasonable to pay a teacher of the right qualifications. He further says 'a dollars worth I of value should be received for every dollar spent." Well isn't | it? If not, why then trot out your I accusations. He also says "these

suggestions if carried out will help" They would help the most if carried out in the waste basket by the office boy. Selah.
