No doubt a lot of the boys will go out to see the white horse. We will all have to work fast if wc succeed in getting the necessary contracts to make it possible for Col. Gallagher to arrange the finances for the big enterprise. Don't lose a moment. Make it your own duty to see that if you can't plant beets this year and the only good reason ought to be that you haven't any place to plant them—to get some one to do it. We must not let the present opportunity slip. The New Year Day is over but the new year is with us and we should start right in trying to make every one happier and every thidg better. If a hundred million ■people do that a few weeks, the victory will lie won and will be a glorious one. The beet acreage is coming along r.nd every body is hoping their best that the desired amount will he secured by Monday night but hopes alone won't do it. Urge your friends to contract tor beets, tell them how important it is, be re-

sponsible for securing at least some acreage. Freight rates are to be boosted Monday to stand until March of I next year. We hope this will help I the general situation but doubt it i tor in this highly competitive tier j iod it seems to us—and we don't] know a thing about it —that efforts to increase business rather than rates, would be wiser. We believe the new contract for the sugar factory will be the fairest ever made. It guarantees the grower his expenses and then gives him a 50-50 split on the profits. In Michigan where a similar plan was used this year, every one is happy about it and eager to sign up for 1932. The lire loss in Decatur during 1931 was about 13,000, a record that was probably not equalled in any town this size in the state. This city has excellent fire protection, a good tire fighting organization, excellent water facilities and consequently was aide the past year to hold the loss down to a minimum. We hope the coining year will be just as perfect along that line.

they ought to use all the machinery at han d to speedily and thoroughly punish them. We have no room in this country for reds , who believe in destruction of lives and property and the recent whole- .' sale bomb mailing looks as though t it was a big plan to start something. ————— ) The city of Chicago may be fore- ; ed into a receivership control be- > cause of the controversy over 5I ) $100,000,000 of unpaid taxes. The 1 court has just ruled that the assessment is unfair and that taxes do not have to be paid, so the teachers, employes and other creditors are holding the sack and its getting to be a heavy sack. Its a tough situation and not good for the rest of the country. Even though the year 1931 was rated a slow one generally, this city progressed and there was considerable building and improving. The program for the coming year should likewise include sufficient building to show the world that we have faith and propose to keep up with the procession. Communities which do that will certainly be in better condition when the time comes to spurt. The time is here for most of our subscribers —by mail — to renew their subscriptions. We propose to work harder than ever to give you tlie news when its new, to keep you posted on the affairs of the day and to help you every way we can. The price is less than a penny a day and we hope you cooperate by responding to your notice immediately. Wisconsin is a dairy state and does not propose that the industry be interfered with by the sale of substitutes for butter. The legislature passed a bill providing a sixcent tax. SI,OOO annual license fee by the manufacturer and a SSOO fee by the wholesaler. Restaurants and boarding houses which use oleo must pay a special license and it cannot be used at all in state in■titutions. That will probably leave the field clear for the dairy products and is expected to aid farmers and all others so engaged.

An unusual personal photograph hangs in the dressing room of Chester Morris at Paramount. The scene shows Lionel Barrymore and Doris Rankin enacting an episode from that old stage hit, “The Copperhead.” In the background, partly cut off by the edge of the picture, and 1 greatly out of focus, is a youth in a Civil War uniform. Under close inspection, he is revealed as Morris. And, so far as Chester knows, this is the only picture in existence showing him in nis first stage role. SOMETHING S AFOOT.

w rapped in burlap, bore no address. Two copper wires protruding from it first aroused suspicions. The package was 12 inches long and six inches wide and weighed 11 pounds. It was immersed in a pail of water and placed in charge of the chemical division of the lire department. Tbo package will be subjected to a volley of gunfire today to determine its contents. Chicago police definitely established that the package addressed to Giuseppe Castruccio, Italian consul in that city, was another bomb, the second sent to Chicago by express. The bomb was exploder! in a stone quarry and its force was reported as strong enough to wreck a building. The other infernal machine sent by express to Chicago was addressed ro’Tjscar Durante, editor of a pro-fascist newspaper. He refused to accept the package. His fears were confirmed when police fired into tlie box and found it contained high explosive. A heavy guard was placed around the Philadelphia home of Judge Harry S. McDevitt, following receipt of bombing threats. Judge McDevitt sentenced Orlando Spartaco. who was convicted of heckling Italian Foreign Minister Dino Grandi. Spartaco is out on bail now awaiting an appeal. Judge McDevitt furnished the bail, explaining his act would remove the martyr's cioak from Spartaco. The nervous tension gripping the public brought other bomb scares, some being suspicious but not dead- j ly, others apparently instigated by practical jokers. A package received by the Associated Press in Chicago and believed to lie a bomb turned out to be harmless. Two other supposed bombs which mystified Chicago police for a time were found to be packages containing congressional records, discarded law books ami old shoes. And in Washington, police headquarters had a brief

. flurry of excitement until a suspicious looking suitcase which had been found on the sidewalk, was found to contain two volumes of Shakespeare. An explosion in Trinidad, Colo., which wrecked a store, was believed today to be an isolated case of outrage and not linked with the plots farther east. Rosario Dionisio, owner of the store, is a pioneer Italian resident of Trindad. He was not able to offer police any i clues, saying he knew of no ene- | mies. ■ Another bombing in Bellaire, 0., was frustrated when the fuse attached to eleven sticks of dynamite was snatched from the doorway of the home of Angelo Cifaldi, Italian merchant. This plot, police believe, was the columination o fefforts to extort money from Cifaldi. Dominick Boligni, said to have been one of the extortionists, was arrested and was found to be carrying an automatic pistol. Police believe he may have planned to shoot the merchant after the bomb was discovered. —o GRAM) JURY TO GET EVIDENCE ON CONSPIRACY .CONTINUEDjyROM PAGE ONE) which occurred on July 8. last, in which approximately sl2.non loot was obtained," Prosecutor James R.

"All new disclosures continue to link all persons already implicated.” KIDNAP RING IS CAPTURED (CONTINUED FORM I’AGE ONE) of John J. Lynch, general news bureau head. Lynch, whose syndicate distributes racing information was reported to have been released last August after Al Capone had been instrumental in reducing the ransom demand from $200,000 to $50,000. Another believed victim of the same syndicate was James Hackett. a Chicago gambler. He was said bo have paid $75,000 for his freedom. It was believed the ring maintained constant communication between a headquarters in Chicago and units operating out of Peoria and St. Louis. Arrangements between members of the band were made for holding prisoners, making ransom demands and obtaining payments from victims. Two hideouts were believed to have been maintained in the Chicago area, both in suburban districts. The Roche investigators were reported to have discovered residents near the hideaways who identified several prisoners. Recent kidnapings which l>ore the earmarks of the organized syndicate were those of Fred J. Blunter, wealthy Monroe, Wis„ brewer; Frank Rlchley, identified by police also as a brewer, and resident of Evanston. 111., and W. C. Flanigan. Gary. Ind., heavily interested in handbook operation there. It has been known for some months that police believed kidnaping had been organized on business ’lines in the midwest. Within the' last two years the number of kidnapings have increased enormously. police said, with details of the abductions often difficult to obtain. After the kidnaping in St. Louis of Alexander Berg, wealthy furrier, Roche cooperating with authorities of downstate cities, rounded up more tiian half a dozen suspects, several of whom it was thought might be included in tlie new roundup. — -o David J.

George Washington died he lett a ? will with a provision in it bequeathe|ing stock in the Ptornac canal y I worth 5,000 pounds sterling to the I government for the establishment, e'of a National university in Wash-i-'ingtou. He picked as a site for the > university the knoll of what is now r Massachusetts avenue now occu"jnied by the United States naval r I observatory. For years it was e known as University Circle. el The Ptornac canal parallels the Ptornac river from Cumberland, e Md.. to Georgetown, once a town I- but now a residential section of Washington. Washington was the | builder of the canal, which was in ! use until a few years ago. . But that is beside the story After Washington's death the canal I became unprofitable and the value U of the stock dwindled to almost 'i nothing. John Adams and Uitaylette thought it a pity that Washi lington's dream should come to such . an emi. They raised $25,000 in cash i aud placed it in the United States e> treasury to cover the full value of 51 the bequest. Years passed aud still no Natioue al university was founded. Finally i the government turned over Hie s money to Columbian College, now s!
