It encouraged industry to maintain wages. It spent millions ot dollars on public buildings and other construction to provide employment. The government even went so tar as to announce to the people every week or so that business was picking up. and supplemented this by a weekly radio program. "One of the curious things about the efforts of the government to forestall economic forces by declamation. was that every time the government announced that business was picking up, the stock market had a sinking spell. "These were great days in American history. About one man out of every ten was on the federal payroll, and eventually taxes became so high and public opinion so erystalized against the cost of government regulation and government participation in business, that the voters rose up in the fall oi 1932 and elected an almost entirely new congress.” First England throws out the bureaucrats; now Australia; and we dare to hope that the United States will be next. The forces at work over the rest of the world in the matter of governmental extravagance are sure to strike here sooner or later.—Chicago Journal of Commerce. This county has only sixty days of ideal weather, 65 to 75 temperature. a year, according to a report from the Holland Institute of Thermology. Those are usually the days from May Ist to May 30th and September 16th to October 16th. Tlie rest of the time we are too hot or too cold to have the doors i pen and enjoy life without turnat es or electric fans, but at that we seem to get along fairly well, especially during a winter like this. The report also shows that the average (oldest day is January 12th and Hie hottest is July 21st. The appointment of Benjamin Nat han Cardozo, of New York, to succeed Judge Holmes who was recently forced to resign because of 1:1s age, will please generally. Judge Cardozo has served on the supreme bench of his state for seventeen years and is credited with being one of the soundest jurists in America. He will fill the high place with credit and honor.

I publicans this year la "Don't change toboggans while sliding down hill." In Washington they are telling a story about a hitch- • hiker who made it from San Francisco to Washington In eleven . days. He walked only eleven miles of the distance because he wore a placard on ills back: "If you don't > i give me a ride. I'll vote for Hooi ver.” I , The United States senate promptly killed the bill designed to reduce I salaries of members of congress and the cabinet and do away with the mileage allowance. Now these same birds will go out and tell the people that times are good if you think so. You can bet that's the last reduction that will be made. Dig your hidden money up and if you don't want to bank it, spend i: with the Decatur merchants who are taking part in the "Way Back When'' sale. The big idea D to circulate it. That's what we all have to do if we get out of the depression and this is the time to start. During the month of January | 21,252 meals were served to the | needy in the city of Fort Wayne and lodgings were provided 5,481. That's something to headline when in the neit column a newspaper is trying to prove that Mr. Hoover is another Lincoln with even greater problems. At least it looks as though it hasn't been worked out. It's the guess of wise ones that the stock market will continue to lise more or less steadily for a few weeks but predict the bottom will fall out again in late May or early' •June. Surely it' that is correct and told this far ahead, those who play tne game are just plain "syckers" and ought to be caught. What to tax? That's the question now bothering the administration and congress. Os course none of it is popular but some how they must boost the income a billion dollars or more. Our guess is that when they're through we will have a rather geenral sales tax. —— One local store reports that their I business last Saturday was double that of a year ago the same day, which shows that it pays to advertise and to tell the public what you have for sale. Its the only way to increase volumn and that’s what ’ has to be done. It is proposed to issue new money to be backed up by the gold now in the federal reserve banks. That looks sensible but it is reported that Andrew Mellon refused to endorse it and that was the real | reason he moved from Washington I to London. 0 t Answers To Test j Questions Below are the answers to the Test Que*'ions printed on Page Two. * * 1.

Garden planning has become one j of tlie well-known winter sports! in communities where garden clubs thrive, and there are now | few communities where they do not. These diotussions in dubsl as to garden planning and niati-| agenient are of great value If the' good ideas so accumulated are in corporale<| in your garden plans. Each year of actual dirt experience makes it easier to make a good garden plan. original garden plan is all that it might lie but It develops easily with experience. A garden plan on paper is the first step toward a good garden. |l Is annual advice but not frequently enough followed. It you know just exactly what you arc going to do. where you are go inc to do it. and how. the work ob gardening in early spring is very nearly cut in half. It is merely applying tlie efficiency to garden making you would apply to any other undertaking Draw your garden outline "n paper to seal'-, a fraction of an inch to a foot.

planned, then figure what will follow when the early crops arc out of the way. A good gardener keeps all his garden working from frost to frost. This requires careful planning and experlner.s in this line comes only with practice and experience. It is an easy matter once it is mastered and familiarity with the season of growth required by the various vegetables is concerned. Mark down on your garden plan what vegetables arc to follow the early radishes and spinach. String beans or a late crop of peas are praetical for this purpose. The early pea crop can give place to turnips and later carrots. And so on all through tlie garden. Crops that require u full scasop of growth such as parsnips, sweet coi'ti. eiicwinbers.' tomatoes and others ar<’ most conveniently grouped in one *-ctlon of the garden, making the space to be planted to succession crops all. in one place. Rotation of crops is also to be considered in the garden plan. If it can Ft? avoided, do not plant the same vegetable In the same space 1 two successive seasons. Follow , root crops with fruit or leaf crops, and vice versa.

□ '— Col biake's Oerter Clerks Office Office R-OOTkL r-t Si'de ] Shad's Desk |J I 1 m The evening train for the south was almost an hour late. Shad ate his supper with a small bug in bis lap and got abourd the train arriving at the county seat about eightythirty. There were not more than half a dozen people in the streets. He went to the office. The anteroom was dark. 3he colonels key was in the door that opened from it to the large n>oiu occupied, in business hours, by clerks and steuog raphers. The colonel was at work In bls private room the door of which was open. Shad pul the bag on his desk and removed his over coat and muffler. The lawyer came out and greeted him. They stood a moment talking together. Colonel Blake stood facing the door. In the middle of a sentence he stopped suddenly. He was looking at a man's arm which had been thrust through the open slide in the oak partition. Its hand seized the little leather bag on Shad's desk. Before tlie colonel had quite recovered from his astonishment it vanislted with the bag. The lawyer ran to the door. It would not open. It we« locked. The thief had turned ! the key on its further side. The bag was gone with the man who took , It. and they were helpless. The cel onel ran to the telephone and called the sheriff. Within two minutes tlie latter, with liis deputies, was out on the streets. Colonel Blake returned from tlie. telephone. ‘The Devil and Tom Walker!” he ' exclaimed. “This kind of thing is well I enough in fiction, but when it jumps into real life it's giung too far. That was the arm of tlie murderer or an accomplice. He may have I followed you from the train. If 1 had not lieen here lie might have, overcome you with violence. We are getting close to tlie guilty man. He is scared. He is desperate. He thinks that tlie revolver is a vital 1 part of our case. He doesn't know I that it is so well known that it is' no longer needed. Its evidence is I on record.” ‘‘My old slouch hat was in Unit ; bag witli tlie revolver." said Shad. Colonel Blake went to the tele-1 phone and called tlie home of Judge: Swift in Asbfield. "I have reason to believe that tlie 1 man who killed Oscar I’erry is in or near this village. I’fease go quickly and see if Robert Boyce Is j in Ashfield. It’s Important. Let me 1 know at my office as soon as pos slide," the colonel re«|uested. The sheriff came and unlocked the ! door. “We've scoured tlie town,” he said. “We have seen no stranger. I learn j that a team hitched to a buggy stood ' In front of your door a few min utes ago. It faced toward tlie river. A woman sat in the liuggy." The lawyer told what had happened in the office. Sheriff Colewcll said: “The thief, whoever he is, got into that buggy i ’’"'milll'innß or n LO 3 B * I M r ' It* H*nd S«ix«d the Little Leather Bag on Shad's Desk. with the bag and was a mile out of town when you culled tne.” The telephone bell ran;. Colonel Blake answered it. He was aston jshed by the information that came to him from Judge Swift, it wj< tbjs: I “Robert Royce Is now sitting bv the fireside at the M estniinsrer hotel in Ashfield.- Rodney [the proprietor] tells me that he has been sit-

4 in tlie chair he now occupies ,o('r since lie finished eating his supper about quarter past six." t Blake told Hie Judge of tlie aiuguInr Incident of the evening and rung off. He came out of his office. "Well, Sheriff. I'm about ready for an Important move in this gnme of checkers.' lie said. ‘Tve got a man In tlie king row. I’m going to move for Bumpy Brow n s release on bail." The County court cuavened In tlie morning. Tlie district attorney. In view of tlie discovery of new evidence in tlie case of tlie People against William Brown, moved for the release of the defendant on bail fiwly offered by a number of responsitiie Grand Army men. “I am convinced that the prisoner, if he Is set free can be of some service to us." The motion was granted. Doctor Gorse was nt the little boarding house when Shad returned with Bumpy. The dot tor greeted them with the gone, dignified and gentle courtesy for which he was famous. He turned to Miss Spenlow and said: “1 would like to talk privateFy with young Mr. Morrvson. Perhaps you will take Brown into the dining room and close the door for n few minutes." When lie and Shad were alone the doctor said: "The district attorney is not yet in tlie central current of the singular stream of events which lias engaged his attention There is one episode of which he may not have learned. “On the fifth of November a stranger arrived in Ashfield. He was a brawny man about six feet tall, with a freckled face and large and prominent ears. He registered at the Westminster hotel ns Donald Algyre from Winchester Springs. Ontario. When he arrived lie wore a broadbrimmed hat. Later he wore a Scotch cap that lias a parted crown and ribbons at tlie base, like those worn much in rural Canada, lie seemed to hnve no Imsiness. He laid money. He spent it freely in the barrooms. He drank with all their cheerful habitues—the horsemen. the S[>orts. the- roustaliouts. He had traveled much. lie had been c cowboy in tlie wild West. He was a good story-teller. The boys liked him. “Some on" discovered that he carried a big revolver in his liip jim ket. He went Into the woods for a hunt with Ito.’ce. There Boyce tells cf seeing bi in throw a silver quarter in tlie air and shoot a hole in it witli his revolver before It came down. “Now in tlie early evening of tlie tenth of November lie was seen in a canoe on the river. Roger Wingate. a piitient of mine, mid Ids young son. passed near him In a boat. The time was a quarter of seven or nearly that. It was rattier dark. The boy had his father’s dark SSaflr? iX»r «*>l * "He Was a Gsod Story Teller, The Boy* Liked Him.” lantern. He opened it suddenly and tiling Its light on the stranger. Here was unmistakably the man known as Algyre. Wingate had met him. He spoke but gut no answer. Now Hie p(>tnt at which they met was nearly opimsite Brown's cove. Win gate tbouglit nothing of the incident. It ’ ier| to have no relation to the murder." Shad was quick to say: "Thut man couldn't have got to Doolittle's hotise by seven o'clock." It would have been impossible ''o suspicion of tiiat ever entered the mind of my patient. He had forgotten the matter until the er citement of yesterday m Asbfield had begun to spread” "'(hat c'-o'cment'.'' Shad asked "Uh, you have not heard of it?" (TO BB CONTINUED.)
