It's going to be a hot summer in Washington. Congress will vacate for the national conventions and then resume their job of law and speech making. The testimony being offered in ■ the Muncie liquor cases, before the | federal court, does not seem to! tally with the advance information . given out at Washington and other Places. It costs congress $20,000 to mail out speeches of its members and rot a soul in the United States except perhaps the congressmen themselves or some of the family, ever more than glance at them. We might save that without anybody losing weight. Banks do not close because they ' want to. but because they have to and it is well to remember that the — support of the public, honest'y and steadily, is necessary. When and [ where that is given there is nothing to fear. We hope that the people will so stand by their home institutions. John Hughes Curtis, the Norfolk boat builder, has confessed that all the information he was handing out about a mysterious boat and its occupants, supposed to be the kidnappers of the Lindbergh babe, were ' figments of his imagination.” Now there is another guy that has proven himsa'f such a nuisance that he ought to be placed where what he says or writes, is properly censored. Scratch Owen D. Young off the list of probabilities in the Democratic race for the presidential nomination. In a statement in his little hometown paper he announces that because of business responsibilities, which he does not tare to discuss, he will not accept the place under any consideration. So that's settled. And whatever happens, you can always know that he is a great man and would make a wounderful President, The Republican newspapers, at least a few of the most partisan, are insisting that the present high tariffs are just right and under no circumstances should they be reBARGAIN EXCUR S I O N S ”c • ST.

duced a penny. But even these are not asking any Increase*, which is something. Every one knows that something is wrong and there are those who feel that perhaps there are a few schedules that might be n duced to the advantage of every oue. A special board, appointed by Judge Erwin, is recounting the ballots cast in the recent primary, as they effect the race for county commissioner from the first district. The results will be known in a few days and however this is, we are sure, it will meet the approval of the candidates and the public. The election wait so close that Mr, Gallemeyer expressed his desire to ascertain that no error had been made and the results will he watched by he and the other three who contested for the place and with keen interest. Al Smith, when he has something on his mind, always finds away of getting it off and when he expresses himself, he leaves no doubt as to how he feels. In other words he hag courage which is what most politicians lack. He is out now with an urge that congress quits playing horse and gets down to the real business of their jobs. You may I not agree with him but you admire i his courageous ability if you are fair. Because the demand for cash was greater than could be met under present conditions, directors of the Old Adams County Bauk. yesterday ordered that institution closed for liquidation and so notified the state department. The officiahi and those connected with the ' hank, have we are sure, given their very best efforts that the oldest ■ financial concern in the county , J might continue to serve the public. I but with general conditions unimproved. this was impossible and , the course taken was the only one. tor the protection of all interests. It is believed it will pay out every dollar due depositors, the assets exceeding the liabilities by nearly two hundred thousand dollars and wio* n the opportunity, the directors will, as they have stated, make every effort to facilitate payment, so that the inconvenience will be lis slight as possible. The publicdisplayed no agitation and apparently wi l assist in every way they can towards that end. ■ —o IN MEMORIAM Resolutions adopted by the Monroe M. E. Sunday School And Church We, the committee appointed to draft the resolutions for ou departed brother, Benj. M. Smith, whose death occurred April 26, 1932, submit the following: Whereas, the family has lost a . kind, loving husband and father, the Sunday School one of its most[ efficient members, the church a 1 member of strong Christian convictions and sterling character, the community a kind neighbor. ■ Where as. it has pleased God to call from us to His realm above the l • spirit of our brother, Benj. M. Smith, and while we bow in humble submission to the divine will, we feel deep sorrow for the loss A one so loving, so kind and true. Resolved, that we extend to the . family our sincere sympathy in this its great sorrow, Resolved, that this mem..riam be , 1 spread upon the records of our Sun-) , day School and church, and a copy ‘ be sent to the bereaved family.

HOLLYWOOD, Cat, May 00.Under the head of important an nouncements comes the news that) Helen Hayes, star of Broadway ami the screen, has been signed byParamount to play the fenn nine lead in 7 “Farewell to 1 Arms.’’ Mi-ss Hayes scored a per- j* sonal triumph in “The Sin of Madeion HESfe,.,, det" and followed up with a lOMBwp/' sensitive and iFSjjr beautiful per- r formance oppo- | site Ronald Col- ‘ ll11111 man in “Arrow- „ . smith.” “ e,ea Her promised Hayew appearance in the Ernest Hemingway novel immediately gives this picture added significance.

Around Hollywood, they are still laughing over the gag Lew Bnce pulled on Abe Roth, the fight referee. Several days ago, Roth gave a decision which was very unpopular with the boxing fans. Brice ran into him later. "Hello, Abe,” he flipped, “did you see the fight?’ AND SO TO GOSSIP. Buster Keaton has been combatting illness since the beginning of his new picture, “Speak Easily.” The company is shooting nights to make up lost time. . . .

1 " —■ ■■ AN ARMY Os Salesmen Who Take Little Time When a salesman calls upon you, your subconscious question is, “How much time will he take?” Yet every day an army of salesmen comes marching into your living-room. They take your time only when you can spare it. They present their products to you briefly and politely, without a single interruption during your moments of consideration. They retire at your wish, or tell you more if you desire. Are you learning all you can from these salesmen the advertisements in your daily paper! They come from the market places of the world. They bring the latest facts about the things you want and need, suggest other things you might want or need. They can make life more pleasant, efficient and economical. But you and you alone—are the judge! Can you afford to deny an audience to these salesmen? They do more than try to sell you something. They bring you the news of what your neighbors am! your countrymen are doing in the world of business. Advertisements do not ring doorbells —but they receive cordial reception from intelligent, discriminating people everywhere. Again and again they point out the only true bargains—sound merchandise at fair prices. When you read the advertisements, you are helping yourself to better things! Decatur Daily Democrat

The gentleman [ filing same says it Is a friendly j action for a recount. How can an action charging more than two hundred men with irregularities, i and mal conduct be a friendly action? It doesn't listen friendly to me. Why didn't he merely ask for a recount of votes hoping a mistake might be found? That, would bo friendly. The election boards arc a cro«.i| I section of the people of Adams county and I believe as honest as i the average people anywhere. Os course we are all luiman and liable to mistakes. The gentleman sure I ly took in plenty territory when charging each and every board 'n [ the 34 precincts with what amounts I to crookedness. 1 know our election luiard was strictly impartial although human. And 1 believe) the other thirty-three were the same. Yours truly, GROVER ROMEY. (A member of one of the elecj tion boards.) MONROE NEWS 1 Mi . and Mrs. James V.
