They are on and this next week ■will be a great one for those who love the great national sport. Get set for a good time the night us October sth when Paul V. McNutt. the next governor of Indiana will speak here. Others on the girogram will include Mr. Lutz and Airs. Knapp. The boosters for a big McNutt rally here the night of October sth are gathering pep as they proceed. They have added a paraade to the program and its going to be a good pne. Watch for the rooster, the mule and the heavily burdened elephant. There will be a lot of features and plenty of music. Senator Smith Hrookheart who has cansed the Republican party a lot of grief during the past decade is again making the lowa leaders sit up nights. He was defeated in the primary but now announces Lis candidacy on the Progressive ticket and says he is out to head off Henry Field, the regular G. O. r. nominee. Troubles never come singly. - The United States senate just now is Democratic by one. In the recent congress the lineup was forty-eight Republicans, forty-seven Democrats and one Farmer-Labor. Governor Adams of Colorado has appointed Walter Walker, a Democrat to succeed the late Senator ■ Waterman, changing the political complexion of the senate. It looks as though the beet grow-' ers in this section will receive at. least the greater part of the I amounts due them from the 1930 crop and that will help some —in fact it will help a lot. We believe the company has done the very best they can in the matter and deserve the aapproval of every one interested. President Hoover, we are told in a press dispatches from Washington, is preparing a "fighting speech" for his Des Moines appearance. That's the stuff. If we are not badly mistaken. Governor Roosevelt likes a fair scrap and his replies to Mr. Hoover will be well worth your attention. He has his opponents on the defensive and will keep them there. Would it be improper to ask why [ the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel is j Cot conducting their usual strawvote this year? Can it be they have had some Inside dope from —

some other sources like the Literary Digest, Chicago Herald-Exam-iner, Cincinnati Enquirer or even the Republican national committee? Oh, it doesn't make any dis- * ference, we were just wondering. Repeal of the eighteenth amendj meat does not mean that the United States relinquishes the ideal of • temperance: it merely means pri- ’ martly that the country is demand- ? Ing adequate measures for sup- » pression of the dangerous illegal J traffic that has set up authority of ) crime in defiance of the government and the people. Every President. governor and mayor knows that something ought io be done. The state tax board refuses to say they approve the fifteen cent rate and of course there is much I to their side of the argument. We j gain nothing by making the rate 1 so low that we must go in debt. , That only means trouble for the I future. Reductions that can be met are oof value but those which make us only add interest charges will certainly not bring relief, figured over a period of years. Its a good time to be careful but its also a good time to keep one's feet on the ground. The Bluffton street fair—bigger and better than ever—is on again and thousands are enjoying the free acts, the reunions, the stock exhibits and all that goes to make up the big event. They have been holding these fairs the past twenty-| six years and have the reputation I of putting on one of the cleanest ! and best in the country. They de-1 bated seriously this year whether or not to hold it but decided this ■ was no time to let up and perhaps they are right. At least these events provide genuine amusement for thousands who look forward to them. “in the event of my election. I want to assure you that my time and talents. whatever they may be, will be dedicated to the public service and not to the business of building up a personal or party machine. The only true basis upon which a candidate and his party should ask favor from the voters is the soundness of the principles , which they represent, their record I of fidelity to such principles and i the furtherance of the public welfare thereby. These fundamentals j I believe to be correct and if elected I shall adhere thereto.”—Frederick Van Nuys. 0 4 — 4 Test Your Knowledge Can you answer seven of these test questions?

This makes Bluffton's twenty-sixth annual fair, which has come to be recognized as one of the greatest gala events in this section of the country. People from this community who "took in" the fair yesterday and today, report that it even surpasses all other Bluffton fairs with its un-

| CUBAN TBADE IS DECLINING i Low Price of Sugar Causes Decrease; Indiana Is Heavy User Washington. D. C. Sept. 28—(UP) -Residents of Indiana consume an average of 104 pounds of sugar per ' person annually as compared to 98 pounds per capita tor the coun- 1 try as a whole, department of commerce figures revealed today. Indiana, a sugar beet growing state, uses 343.281.318 pounds of sugar annually and its bill of 17 millions will mount to 68 millions, commerce department observers pre-1 diet, unless the 28 year old reciprocal treaty with Cuba is soon revised The old reciprocity treaty of 1903 gives Cuba a 20 per cent preferential c<n sugar. The Hawley-' Smoot tariff law of 1930 s-hedules , the duty at two and one half cents ’ a pound. >o Cuban sugar pays two> t cents. Trade experts now say the e preferential is not enouth that Cuba . which supplies one third of our sugar requirements, is hard hit by ’ the prevailing high tariff and that,; ' nnable to sei' the United States 1 sugar at a fair profit, the Cubans sor.n wilj be unable to grow the product This will n»t only cut off r this country's supply and raise ’ prices here, but will also prevent Cuba's buying from the United States, it was pointed out. To back up their cantontfcmi. the trade experts call attention to the marked decline in trade with Cuba > From $500,000,000 in 1920 to $46.ono.OOMOO in 1931 and less than . $30.00i',000 this year. American ex- . prrts to Cifiia have fallen 94 per I cent within 12 years. : Officials of the American Feder-' , ation of labor favor immediate re- 1 i vision of the treaty on the ground that Cuban swsar is needed here' and does not interfere with American industries or labor. They as-' sert that with her buying power restored. Cuba will purchase hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Am-; erican manufactured gvods. farm products and materials and that 2(K>. 000 American workers will again be employed producing the things that Cuba needs from the United States. , Other national organizations have tirg-d re vis io of the treaty. THIEVES TAKE OVER $5,000 INMERCHANDISE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE new dresses, ranging in value | from $5.95 »to $24.75. The thieves took every one of these dresses. About other dresses were taken. proprietors of the store estimated. Between 80 and 100 coais. valued at $39.50 to $50.00. were placed in stock a few days ago and all were taken by the yeggs. The thieves separated (hem from one case of coats which were carried over from a few months ago and sorted out the new models, throwing the cheaper coats on the floor or leaving them hanging in the cases. The store is qperated by Mrs. Dan Zeser and Mrs. Vincent 'Borman. daughters of Mrs. E. F. Gass. Their father, the late E. F. Gass, established the store a number of years ago. A high grade line of merchandise was carried by the store. Mrs. Zeser and Mrs. Borman stated thts morning it was difficult to estimate the exact loss as an inventory had not been taken. They were stunned when they came to the store this morning and noticed that most of the merchandise had been removed. Raymond Gass, brother of the young women and formerly associated in the local store, estimated that the merchandise stloen would o more than $5,000 and

The cash register, left unlocked last evening when the store closed. with five dollars In the drawer, was not touched by the thieves. Hose Stolen Several dozen boxes of expen- , slve hose were taken by the ' thieves. They passed up a lot of ’ cheaper hose placed on a table and bearing a sign •'9Bc." Four new ladies' raincoats, priced : at nine dollars each were picked up by the thieves. They also carried away a number of sweaters which were on a table, being care- ■ ful to select popular sizes, models ; and colors. In going through the cases of dresses the thieves cleaned out one case completely. Most of these garments were priced at $12.50 and $16.75. several $24 75, several . garments Being included. They did not molest the racks ' of $3.98 and $2.88 dresses, nor did they take any of the children's dresses priced at 59 cents each. The loss of dresses alone was estimated at least $3,000 and this total may run higher following a complete check-up. No cities were obtained today as to the identity of the thieves, the number of men engaged in the pillage or what time the robbery was committed. Opinion was ex- : pressed that the thieves might have learned in Chicago that the new merchandise was being taken >to the Gass store and that the gang of men followed the shipment here. Belief was expressed that the mon might be engaged in selling liquidated stocks, using , their loot to restock stores. The proprietors of the store , stated they did not know what their future plans would he. , They did not carry any burglary i insurance. o- — FURTHER RELIEF PLANS ARE MADE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE contemplates that the 1-ann must be repaid out of this crop and that to give such extension as you wish will' require legislative authority.
