There is a general feeling that the worst of the depression is over and every where there seems to be rn effort to stop the decline. The first two weeks of the year have shown some improvements and if this continues a few weeks the change will be quite noticeable. Here's hoping. Mussolini of Italy wants the reparations cancelled and thinks that will revive the world economic 1 condition. Os course those nations) which owe billions would profit but | what about this country to whom I the money is largely due? We eer-i tainly wouldn't feel much recovery from such a program. Following fifty dinners held over - the country last evening the Vic-1 tory Drive to raise the balance of] the $1,500,01)0 to pay the debts of Ihe national democratic committee I and put some cash in the treasury, so that a first class campaign can be started, will revive interest. In this county about $l5O is still needed and should be raised and added to the fund. We congratulate those who have solicited the beet acreage in this section. It has been a big job and you have done it splendidly boys. If as we believe will occur the factory is financed and the mill put in operation you will always know you htive performed a task of the greatest importance for this community. There is a lot of third party talk which is not unusual six months before the regular political conventions. In this state we hear some of it but indications are that it will be just about as effective as the third, fourth and fifth parties have been. Th progressives lack Roosevelt leadership it seems and the movement will not get far. It takes some real fighters to get far with a third party. Tin- city of Louisville is so broke that unless the teachers agree to work two weeks for nothing they will have to lop off a month of the tegular year. Government units every where are getting up against a stone wall financially and it behooves those in charge to watch carefully, to guard against expenditure of any monies unnecessarily, to practise economy and to plan a year ahead. The most unusual weather reports ever known in this country came in yesterday. It was snowing' in California, Oregon and WashI > WILL a loan up to $300.00 help you?

ing while in Ohio along the Ohio river they have temperatures above ninety. The boys were swimming in Lake Erie near Cleveland and the Rocky Mountains were fighting an old fashioned blizzard. Just what it all means we don’t know, '■ but "bet by gosh, we'll soon find out.” 1 Some one named Moneado has issued a thirty page pamphlet in which he attempts to prove that by giving independence to the Philippine Islands, we will cure the depression in this country, if that w ill do it, why don't the wise boys accept the proposition yet today? That would be the easiest way we know of and by the way it might save us a lot of money In a half dozen different ways. And so far we haven’t heard of any reasons for holding on to these islands, except that it provides a lot of jobs tor the faithful of the party in power here. Ten well known citizens of Indiana have been named on the commission to work out a plan for changing the tax laws to meet present conditions and they will go to work immediately. Every one of I course hopes they will he able to I agree but all have doubts. A num- | her of those named favor income I and sales taxes while others are , | just as insistent against such forms 1 jot raising money. There may be hi point where they can comproI mise but we don't know what it will Ibe unless it is that of cutting the | appropriations in two and it may |be late for that for some of that | money has already been spent or , (anticipated by contracting debts. The desire to maintain liquidity lis so strong in American banks that , credit is being withheld to large I and small business men which ordinarily would be granted. American business can not stand such a severe curtailment of credit for a prolonged period without an avalanche of failures. Hence the introduction of $2,000,0011,000 of funds through the Reconstruction Finance cCorporation is really calculated to do at least twenty billion dollars' worth of credit work, which is deemed to be more than sufficient to tide America over the worst period of 111 e depression and through the convalescent or reconstruction period, which is expected to begin after the first quarter of 1932 has been safely traversed. The prospects of the realization of victory on all battle fronts are a matter of conjecture, of course, but the climax on all fronts is coming at about the same time. Hence the growing feeling, here that from now on public opinion will pyess on all battle fronts against fatal deI lays and for decisive action. —Cin- i cinnati Times-Star. — o— Answers To Test Questions I Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two. 1.

It will not be used if you prefer that it not be. We have been asked by one of our subscribers to publish the following contribution from the Monroeville Breeze:A Farmer's Prayer A farmer friend from Monroe | townsjiip hands to the Monroeville Breeze, the following: j Lord! lam only an Allen County I Farmer Thou knowest that when j wheat was $2.00 a bushel and II had I flour and sugar in the house, and | cake and pie every time 1 wanted j them. I was satisfied, ami 1 voted j for a change. Thou knowest I wore a Hoover I badge, i believed in the dawn of a day that I would get $3.00 for wheat and 20 cents for my work. Lord, two years have gone by. never to return and I am too poor | to buy the necessary Rockefeller I .or my Henry, hut I still wear a Hoover badge, but its on the seat of my overalls. Lord, l am thankful for one thing I I and that is that Hoover has been I | able to make common rabbits taste good in the summer time. 1 pray thee that thou wilt keep them re-1 planished so that I will not want. 1 am sorry, Oh Lord, that my corn I would not pay the expense of gath- I I ering, and I pray that Thou wilt I [ continue to uphold Mel’on. tha4 he. may be able to collect four years I interest on funds of his own bank for a righteous house. Teach me to play. "Our father who art in Washington; Hoover is his name; his kingdom come, his I will be done; even to vetoing the : sosldiers’ bonus. Give us this day j l our daily corn bread, that Coolidge ; I tried to make us eat for four years, and Hoover had us eating in three months, and lead us not into Republican Presidency for Hoover has all the power, Mellon all the money. Rockefeller all the oil. and we have patched pants; forever and ever i Amen.” J Signed: C. Ditlinger I —*— i Editor Democrat: | No doiubt my farmer friend from J Bobo is getting impatient to hear f.om me so will take him on for another round. As he has taken my j previous remarks in comparative l good humor. I will give him some ! good fishing tips given me by an old fisherman. One tip in particular , was as to fishing for suckers, fflie important thing if fishing for suckers in the winter with a pole and line, according to this old fisher666 666 Liquid or Tablets used internally and 666 Salve externally, mane a complete and effective treatment for Colds. $5,000 in Cash Prizes Ask Your Druggist for Particulars

man. is to be careful that the suck er isn’t found hanging on the big end of the pole. Now the sage from Bobo, I almost said from Borneo, writes so long a letter I can answer but a part of it without infringing upon the good nature of our editor. Our sage seems to begrudge the city folks any better things than he has in the country. Why no one begrudges you your plentiful eats, fresh for the plucking at any time. Statistics make no mention ot them or steady work while millions of city people are out of work and out of eats (fresh or stale). The country is the best place yet it seems to me. Ou; Oracle harps about the deflation in agriculture for 10 years. Why bless you. a few years azo the farm prices were double what they are now. Would you be 'satisfied
