Some day you can ask the youngsters if they remember way Luck in 1932 when on January 14th the temperature was so warm that one could sleep with the windows open and only a sheet for covers. Every one here interested in reopening the sugar factory appreciate the splendid response made by the farmers who have agreed to raise beets this year. We hope every one of them makes so much money as a result that they will become enthusiastic beet farmers from now on. If every one of the legislators tries to put his ideas as to the tax problem into a law and succeeds if a special session should be called, ' what a conglomeration it would make and the fellow who profited from it. all would certainly be the one who has nothing to lose or to pay will:. “Alfalfa Hill'' Murray, Governor A of Oklahoma ami a' candidate for the democratic nomination foi president will be a guest of Hr Rotarians at their state meeting in Indianapolis next mouth, an attraction that will cause much com ment and from various sources, for besides being a politician.

graduates of the January class of ’32 we extend congratulations and the best wisiies of this community for success far beyond their ex- ) pectatlons. r - In a very modest way Walter r. it Brown, postmaster general and the political manager for President 2 Hoover has announced that his 0 i hies will be a candidate for refl ( 5 election. This will not surprise 0 any one very much for so far no 5 0 boom of any consequence has been 0 started against him though efforts have been made from many sources. The announcement however did not cause even a ripple' of or excitement nor did it seem to frighten any of the democratic candidates who aspire to the nomination. Its going to be a busy year politically. The Daily Democrat is sent by • mail within a radius of seventyr five miles for three dollars a year 0 which is less than a penny a day. ' It is impossible to publish a paper each day and mail it to you for less 1 that that but we will make the best I effort we can to give you all the II news of Importance and to meet ’ you in every way we can by figbts ing for that which we feel is best lor every one. The newspaper is | the mouthpiece of a community. It j has a fixed cost of production, it can be of great assistance by eterne ally fighting for the right and it il deserves the support of subscribe ers and advertisers for thats the . only way it can survive. In the 1 1 .. | past this paper lias been splendidly supported and we appreciate it. We ask that you continue to do so, promising you in good times and s bad, the fairest deal possible to x P’ vc - if — Hats off to the men who without ,1 pay have devoted tile past several ,1 weeks to the important task of | e getting farmers to pledge to raise 0 beets this year so Hie big mill here can operate. Usually this task < osts the company a lot of money ir and never has there been such a it- campaign as that made by these >r field men. They were directed by [ -- Mr. Eticke and others of the Indi-j n ana Earm Bureau aud the fact that [ ■■ they have succeeded in securing | i- 12,000 acres is the best proof that | r they have been industrious salesy men. Looks very bright for the | .-. business this year and we believe' [the farmers will be so delighted 11 : witli tlie new 50-50 form of contract T which makes them partners in the >• profits that they will favor this 11 agreement to any other tney could, >■ possibly have. 11 o— — t 4 4 1 1 Modern Etiquette —by— ROBERTA LEE a' 4 ♦ K Q.

thawing of frozen money 1 IS PREDICTED (CONTINUED FORM PAGEONW) ?l The house was in recess today after five days of continuous work on the relief measure. Working like a giant battering ram. an effective re-publican-democrat coalition knocked down amendments yesterday as they were offered by a dissenting group in each party, who then voted against the measure in protest. A dozen republicans and 43 democrats refused to support it. ln addition to the 12,000.600,000 of the reconstruction corporation there is $125,000,000 in the Federal Land Bank bill which should reach President Haover next week. $150,000,009 for bank depositors relief afforded in another pending measure, and far-reaching credit potentiality in the proposer! rediscount banks designed to ease the frozen real estate mortgage situation. The Federal Reserve system has a credit of $1,400,000,000 which can be used, if needed, to provide al>out $3,500,000,000 in credit. This in turn can lie exxpanded several times. Adminlstraton financial experts deny any “inflotionary’’ tendency in the Hoover program. The only expansion, they say. will be in proportion as Federal Reserve bank credit is thrown in. Federal Reserve participation is provided in most most cases, particularly in the reconstruction bill considerable credit expansion is possible, but always with the check-rein of the Federal reserve board here. Even a small amount of credit in a small community doubles and quadruples. When as contemplated by the relie:' measure deposits in defunct bans are made available in a community, it starts a continuous process of liquidation and revival. The citizens pays his grocer, his baker, his tailor, and these in turn meet ther obligations to the wholesaler and tlie manufacturer and busness generally is stimulated. This sort of stimulation on a large scale throughout the country is envisaged. o — PROHIBITION HAS BIRTHDAY — ] (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE I former Rep.
