Betting odds on the coming election are five to four in favor of Roosevelt on Wall street. Thats a good sign and these odds will probably be greater as the campaign progresses. This is a year when Democrats should not quarrel. They should win. The country needs a change of administration and every one should join in making that change effective and then help bring the nation out of the nine-hole. Decatur will have a once a week play night, with a band concert and other attractions, the business bouses open and things doing. Its a party one night each week. Get into it and help. That makes a live town. When the landlord evicted William Barber and his family from their home, they moved their household effects to the court house yard and established themselves there. Now the question arises as to how they can be put off and who will do it, since the sheriff says he won't. It happened in Anderson. 2Sound and wise is the essay written by Superintendent Martin WortUman on “The Real Meaning M Stewardship.” Looked at from Mr. Northman's angle that is a worthwhile problem and one that ii, up to each individual. Were we Qit here for a purpose and are we tWing our best to qualify? These are things worth thinking about. Mr. Warthman has covered the subnet in an understanding way. "Governor Leslie is against the special tax bills and the $1.50 limit and added that he would veto any income tax bill that came to his Jesk. So that's that and the memB’is can scratch such proposed treasures off their calendars -.nd proceed. The governor insisted tjiat they get busy and not wait until the last twenty-four hours and then expect to rush a hundred or **vo through. And it's not bad adwee. M* *• Good times arae announced to be on the way and we are all looking for them. So far it has been chiefly a hope and a prayer. Every one wants it and will help it along if grven the chance. So far however it takes a spy glass to find it. Ihadstreet's report says: “The retent gradual downward trend conSnued during the week. The largest number was in wholesale and Jobbing." Perhaps the increase hasn't reached trade yet. but is on ♦he way. “ Lieutenant-Governor Bush took an inch or two of “hide" off Governor Leslie yesterday, declaring he was showing no leadership and consequently the special session was Staggering around without a rudfc'.'iiL'i.. iujm U ,J, Z x There is an honor “ —in business that is the fine gold of business.

dor. Ed failed to explain why he didn't run the old boat himself but I did dispatch messages to Senator ( Watson, Fred VanNuys, Raymond Springer and Paul McNutt, inviting 1 them to come before the senate to help get some genuine tax relief. ; Things seem to be wanning up t somewhat around the old state house. ) Six millions of new voters, young .' women and young men, will cast I their first votes at this presidenI tial election. November 8. They i belong to the social and economic people who have felt and experienced the hard times and conditions of the present panic now nearly three years old. A big ma jority of these six millions of first voters are greatly dissatisfied with their present conditions and opportunities. They want and will aid in making a change in governmental administrations. — Hartford Pity News. Keep up your advertising. This is no time to quit. That is not an argument for ourselves, though that may be your thought. Y’ou can increase your volumn and that's what you want and newspaper advertising is the only tried method that has proven successful. Os course we can't live without you but don't kid yourselves that you will get along without a newspaper. You don’t want to and we don't want you to. Let's get together and pull. We are willing to play the game your way. That ought to be fair enough. What do you say? President Hoover has turned the Reconstruction Finance Corporation over to the Democrats, having named At lee Pomerene of Ohio as the seventh member and to be chairman. We hope he does a better job of it than has been carried out it- the past. Os course the politics was to unload the R. F. C. on the Democrats so they wouldn't criticize but there is plenty to talk ahvmt back of this time. Now if the nd’.w bitril'pulls It out of the' hole the public may feel encouraged enough to keep them in power th.ere and in other important places. The movement started in North Dakota to hold wheat until the price reached a dollar a bushel is reported to be spreading. The North Dakota wheat crop is estimated at 124,000,000 bushels or about one-sixth of the nation's total. Whether the holding of this wheat off the market would bring about the desired increase in price remains to be seen. The world supply of wheat is estimated at 51,000,000 less than last year and there appears to be a gradual re.djustment of supplies to requirejnents. North Dakota by itself could hardly hope to bring the price up to sl, but if sufficient states join in the movement the end might be attained. o *RADIO PROGRAM * ♦— « Thursday's 5 Best Radio Features Copyright 1932 by UP.

Her new deal at the studio assures her of important consideration on the M. G. M. production schedule. Meanwhile, she and Tom Gallery still are seen everywhere together and Hollywood looks for a marriage there some time in the future. Someone told John Mahin that Jean Harlow would do "Red Dust,” '"What’s that? " he flipped. "Dandruff from ‘The Redheaded Woman?' ” BOULEVARD TALK If he hadn't signed that contract at M. G.

He has fought with every studio he’s w’orked at. But because he has something real to give, the producers keep signing him.

The Frances Marion story is not abandoned, Pickford aides insist, but there is a strong possibility that another picture will be made first.
