It might be alright to let European countries have a little more time to pay interest and principal of what they owe us, but to give them a receipt in full would be about the most discouraging thing that could be done for the rest of us who are trying our durndest to pay our debts, dollar for dollar. Jimmy Walker may be the forgotten man tn politics but he Is still able to get the front pages. His mysterious mission to Europe looks like another romp and probably marks the complete finish for the dapper ex mayor of New York City. Those who edged him out of the picture appear to have known just what they were doing. The state of lowa has organized and each county will have a counril to hear troubles of the farmers and where possible save the farms for the farmers. Its a good idea end the final solution. In other words each community will eventually have to solve its own prob- i lems. And they can do it better und cheaper than outsiders. Citizens and property owners of Adams county owe over $44,000 in delinquent taxes, establishing a Hew and undesired record. Most ot this will be met within the next few weeks and next year thank goodness, the taxes will be so reduced as to make it possible to pay the rent we owe for public service Did you read the advertisement I in last uight's paper.

any wishes the father may have had. the folks fall for the fake and settle for the book. These are desperate times. 1 President Hoover has asked Governor Roosevelt to sit in with • him and assist in deciding the best , course as regards foreign debts and we are sincere in believing , that his advice will be worth while. 1 With these two men and their close ' advisers adjudicating the matter. I i it seems as though it will be work-! ] < d out right if there is any way to | i de it. L. E. Archbold has been reappointed as county agricultural agent by the county board of education. a selection that will meet the approval of all who have watched his efforts to meet every requirement of that important office. He has been most industrious in each department which comes under his direction and his work in connection with the 4-H clubs has attracted state wide attention., He will continue his work the ensuing year and the better supported, the more valuable his services will be. The distribution of patronage by the newly elected officials is not the pleasantest part of the political game. There will be a hundred good people asking for every job. presenting and proving their claims and the decision of such a vexing problem to the best advantage and least disadvantage is I something that often makes the official wish some one else could have the responsibility. And with the sweeping victory by the Democrats last week, that job will be uppermost the next several months. Think of rewarding all the deserving workers in such states as Michigan and California and other places where Democrats have jest voted for eighty years. I ~ =- The entire county mourns the death of Jeptha F. Lehman, outstanding citizen of Berne, for many years and sympathizes at this time with the sorrowing family. No I man in the community was held in higher esteem. Honest and faithful to every trust, of pleasant personality. energetic and interested in many things looking to the public good, he accomplished much in bis life. Frequently called to i serve the public, he never faltered I nd in all his efforts he exemplified fairness, integrity and honor, jWe regret his passing and we know that is the feeling of all the many who knew him. Besides being unusually active in business. ] Mr. Lehman found much time to devote to educitioual and religious , matters and in that work also he | proved efficient and effectual. o *~ T WENT Y~Y EARS | AGO TODAY Fro,n the Daily Democrat File • .

NATION AWAITS ROOSEVELT AND HOOVER PARLEY CONTINUED FROM PAG» ONE 000. Some officials feel that a default might encourage non-payment by national and private debtors throughout the world, thus endangering international credit everywhere The negative attitude in congress. it is believed here, might j be influenced by recommendations 1 ! of the Republican and Democratic! I leaders. Governor Roosevelt, in his tele-; I gram to the Hoover train, said he! planned to meet witty Democratic ] congressional leaders at Warm Springs. Ga. If he should be con-1 vinced that leniency toward the; debtors was necessary and should so adviese his followers, his action, coupled with similar action on the Republican side by President; Hoover, might change emigres-' sioual sentiment. Both Mr. Hoover aud Governor' Roosevelt are committed against' outright cancellation. However, the president in the Hoover Laval commuuique of October, 1931. recognized that further conces slons might have to be made to European debtors during the de- . pression. He asked congress to 1 recreate the world war debt funding commission. Congress refits-1 ed. Later, during the 1932 campaign, Mr Hoover suggested trading debt payments for foreign ■ favors to American exports. In his campaign speeches. Gov-1 ernor Roosevelt said little about | war debts. He did advocate low er tariffs to help Europe pay its IJ obligations In goods. Writing in ‘ ‘foreign affairs” in 1928. the president-elect said the American debt attitude appeared “greedy.'’ He listed it as a practical reason ' for European dislike of the United ' States. But he did not suggest * any definite plan of revision. Speaking informally today, one | administration source Mr. Hoover might recomment toj t congress as follows: Grant aL Postponement of the December I f installment pending a debt con-L t ference Then arrange for pav-l* ment in the form of tariff favors ■ to American goods or by "deliv eries in kind.” As an example of the latter type of payment, this ( source suggested European na- . tions. if unable to traaisfer gold . or buy American dollars, might build merchant ships for the U. 8. . government. The government in turn would sell them to privatei operators and thus get the mopey I due it. * HOSPITAL NOTES ’ Mrs. Carl Noll, 596 South Thir ! f teenth street underwent a major!* emergency operation at the Adams!

the night. Reynolds, Mrs. Reynolds said, pressed a pistol to his forehead while she looked on, paralyzed with shock, and pulled: the trigger. Mrs. Reynolds produced notes! written by Reynolds several years before, threatening suicide. She said he often talked of self destruction. Walker verified her statements. The coroner's jury, nevertheless, reported that Reynolds met his death at "the hands of person or persons unknown ft developed at the hearing that Mrs. Reynolds was an expectant i mother. Litigation of Reynolds’ $15,000,000 estate now is being ; held up to await -the arrival of the child that will be entitled to in it. After the coroner's jury verdict, authorities continued a secret tn-! vestigation. Three weeks later, the Forsythe county grand jury returned indictments charging Mrs. Reynolds aud Walker with murder. , Mrs. Reynolds was missing for several days. Finally she apiieared to answer the indictments and was released in $25,000 bail. Wai ker was arrested immediately, held in jail for several days, and was finally released under similar , bail.

ISA VINE CLUBS' TOHLISHIGH j Four hundred and forty million : dollars wil be distributed to about • ten and one half million members o f the Christmas Club by more than seven thousand banking institutions and organizations within the next two weeks, according j to an estimate given out yesterday' by Herbert F. Rawll. President of; the incorporated organization, of. Christmas Clubs. The average amount received by 1 each member amounts to $42.00.. While this figure represents a reduction of about 11 compared with I a year ago, the buying power of ■ $42.00 this year, in the terms ofj Christmas spending, is greater; than the average amount received ; by each member in 1931. Consid-j ered from another angle, if all the cash in circulation in this country | last year evenly- divided among our total population of 120,000 000 ! people, each person would have about s4o.t*O in-the-pocket cash". While every member of the Christ,mas Club, on the average, has ac-! cumutated fa nlchles, dimes and: dollars, during this year, a sum of $42.00. An optimistic expression is found, in many reports from all sections , that the distribution of more than! four hundred million dollars in, cash within the next two weeks! will addd a terrific impetus to a revived urge for constructive and useful purchases on the part of ' families that have discarded a i paralyzing feat that the worst is! yet to come. While several banks report an] actual increase over last year, and. outstanding in this group are tho’ Mutual Savings Banks in the east.] curtailed payrolls, a decline in j membership and distress withdrawals in practically all sections] of the coiijitij uicasiuuud a reduc-, tion in the entire fund of about, 26'7 from the figure of 1931 Con-■ sideriug. however, the severe discipline and pressure that have been 1 applied t<* almost every business during the past year, during which ' we have seen the prices of a cer-' tain group of securities sell at I 22% of their peak 1931 values, bankers view the accomplishments 1 of the Christmas Club for 1932 as I a remarkable tribute to the stead-! fastness of purpose, courage and faith of thrifty Americans. Membership declined about 12% compared with the previous year l , Jut the number of gainfully employed workers throughout the i country shows even a larger de;ci ease for the same period Member banks, reporting, uniformly predict an increase in Christmas Club activities for 1933 as a result of greatly improved jconditions in the general banking situation and a restored confidence of the public in the country’s 1 banks. it te gratifying to the manage ! ! ment ot the Christmas Club that! the distribution indicates a larger! percentage of the fund will be used | for constructive purposes this year than previously. The inception of the plan and or-! ganization of Christmas C’.ub 22 years ago, anticipated the need of providing an easy method of systematically accumulating funds for the specific purpose of Christinas | tequirements. Its sponsors, howj ever, in the '-reation of the plan. ' were mindful ot the opportunity it ] would bring to people of moderate i means in encouraging small weekly deposits for constructive uses. Based on a direct-by-mail inquiry to a considerable numta-r of Individual members of the Christmas Club. Mr. Rawll points out that an increasing number of people are becoming tax conscious and using I the facilities of the club for ac- ! cumulating money for the payment lof taxes falling due at the end of
