So far few people have felt any great improvement as a result of ' the two billion dollar relief law. Is it to turn out like farm relief did? 1 — I The stock market has quit skidd- 1 ing and is now just drifting, accord- ■ ing to reports. Probably so weak 1 it can't do any thing else. We may think the government is ■ becoming more lenient in enforcing ] the prohibition laws but the latest report shows that 4G,800 violators were arrested the last six months of last year. John D. Rockefeller is ill with a severe cold but that doesn’t seem to excite his secretary who has seen this ninety-two-year-old veteran of many business wars, whip bad colds numerous times. Japan insists on writing her own ticket in the peace project but tha world is not inclined to favor her position and China just keeps on | fighting, evidently not caring or I knowing much about all the note writing and negotiations. — Sheriff Farley and ex-Sheriff Cui- ■ kin of New York City have been indicted for grand larceny as a result of the Fofstader committee investigations. Now the public will get another close-up of how Tammany does things, both inside and outside of the famous hall. Pay your subscription to t lie Daily Democrat this month. You can't be happy unless you know what's going on in the world and|especially in your own community and this is the way to be absolutely sure of that information when its news. While you may be safe -uough if Von are driving your car on a 1931 license, better stay inside the state isiarders. .Michigan and Illinois are picking up those who don't carry the new plates, it is reported. President Hoover entertained Speaker Garner for dinner i he other evening. Maybe iie is trying to induce him to tun on the ticket with him but the Texas Democrat is, we surmise, much too foxy to let himself in for any such a slaughter. The Cuban earthquakes are coming ala. bud season just when many from this and other countries are planning their trip to the island. The shakes will probably keep many of them aw-ay and Cuba like all other places need all the business limy can get. -— ~ — Andrew J. Mellon at the Court of KI. Jano-s. We can’t imagine it Inn he may pul it over anil he can afford whatever tlm trimmings cost, lie has lost his reputation as the greatest treasurer siiiee Hamilton. That went skidding with the .stock market In 1929 and he will be glad to unload tlm burdens which go with a (wo billion dollar deficit. Candidates for the democratic, nomination.-; in Adams county are coming now and within another

fortnight the field will be pretty well filled. It is known that a number of aspirants for office arc considering getting In the various races and indications are there will be a large number of starters when the word "go" is given Congress will probably pass a *759,£<*0,000 unemployment bill, providing half that amount for road construction and half for the various states to be used to relieve the situation as they see tit. Looks as though something of that kind is necessary but we should remember that some how and some time, either directly or indirectly, this i money must be repaid. Franklin D. Roosevelt, a leading candidate for the ddmocrutic nomination for president announces that he does not favor America joining the League of Nations, which is the feeling of a great majority of the people, no difference what they may have thought ten or twelve years ago. Conditions are much different now and there are many who are tinner now than ever in the conviction that whatever happens, the thing to do is tor America to attend to her own affairs. These are numerous and important enough to keep us busy the next several years at least. — o — - —— ♦ * Lessons In English Words often misused: Do not say "Leave him go." Say "Let him go'.: Often mispronounced: Credible, kred-i-bl, e as in “bed," i as in “it” accent first syllable. Often misspelled: Phlegm. Observe all the consonants. Synonyms: Intimidate, overawe, cow, terrify, abash. Word study: “Use a word three times and it is yours." Let us increase our vocabulary by mastering one word each day. Today s word: Vaguely; not clearly; uncertainly. "We come upon the chief circumstances. vaguely told, in the last paragraph." o. Household Scrapbook |i -byROBERTA LEE Hair Setting Solution A good hair setting solution can ! be easily made by taking 3k4 pints of water, to which is added 2 tablespoons of quince seed, allow it to boil for 5 minutes, then strain. Cheese When one wishes to keep cheese fresh for a long time, cover it with a thin coating of paraffin Before serving remove the paraffin. Polish Much more brilliancy will be the result if one tablespoonful of pulverized alum is added to the stove polish. o ——— TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY | Fnm the Daily Democrat File * _ ♦ Contracts let for five Macadam Roads in Adams County I 'Harry Jefferis: was awarded eon-1 tract for winding and repairing the | court bouse clock at forty-five del-; lars.

But John Voorhis never was an l old man. Even when his mind turned back over the intervening i span and he spoke of the farms I on lower Fifth avenue, of the days when New York got so bill that Fourteenth street had to be widI ened from river to river, of the horse cars and of the great names | of yesteryear he always did so | as an interesting story teller rather than an old man digging back into reminiscences. He was born in Pompton Plains, I N. J., and has spent 101 years in New York City. The bulk of that I time lie lias been actively associated with government and politics. As a youngster Voorhis worked! I in the office of John Jay. a grand-: I son of the first chief justice, for, : $1.75 a week.
