The county Democratic committee is appreciative to those who have assisted in meeting the deficit of the recent campaign. There is still a small shortage but we are sure it will be met by those who are genuinely interested in success. Paul V. McNutt, governor-elect, is generally regarded as a progressive, but he surprised every one the other day by coming out for the old fashioned method of training children by means of the “birch stick in the pantry press." And in that as in other policies he is as right as he can be. If Mr. Cuthbertson expected to startle the state by his resignation, he should guess again. Everylrody has accepted it as being the right thing to do under the circumstances and it Governor Leslie doesn't care to appoint any one to fill the place, that's his business. Mr. McNutt will take care of the situation when he gets in Henry Ford is a patient in his own hospital at Dearborn, where he was operated on for hernia and is reported to be getting along very nicely. A lot of folks may find fault with the big manufacturer but they want him to continue to furnish them something to discuss and so are hoping for his speedy recovery. The M ayr-Peters scrap is probably more in the minds of the news reporters than any where else. These boys are always hunting headlines and just now they are a little scarce. If Mr. Mayr wishes to reduce his force, it is probable that no one will criticise him except the fellows who lose out. The press will try hard the next couple of years to make every one in the Democratic party fight some one. That's a part of the great old game in this country. The unemployed here are acting with good judgment in organizing ’ bo as to get best and fairest re-1 suits for every one They have I headquarters in the county garage building on North Fifst street

where they will cooperate to the fullest extent with trustees, local officials, the Red Cross, United Charities and all other bodies designed to assist during these tryt i ing times, These men are deservj ing and are to be commended tor ; their brave efforts. It's not easy to ■ I face the struggle. — : |y The publicity being given Ad- • j ams county by the lax Payers Lea- , I gue is the helpful kind for it is al1i ways to the advantage of a com jmunity to have a low tax rate and here we have both that and a lowvaluation. The state will save $42,000,000 in taxes next year which should be a great help. This county alone will save more than $322,000 and will stand third in reducI tion percentage, a very wonderful showing. The only way itj could have been improved would have been to have done this sooner, but perhaps its better this way. A retail store needs to have a thoroughly modern look. It should have a bright attractive touch, suggesting neatness, artistic quality, and good taste. It costs money to maintain that standard, but the merchants of Decatur who generally do so, will testify that it pays. Our wide awake merchants spend more time in cultivating this modern touch than people realize. They frequently look over stores In other cities. | copying good ideas and improving ’ on them. They are constantly I seen reading trade newspapers. I and adapting new plans for use in ! their own business. — Those who worry about the ade-1 quacy of the world's gold supply ' do not always remember that it is ‘ continually increasing. The I nit-: ed States and the British Empire | produce the greater part of the 1 new gold According to the Amer,- ! Scan Bureau of Metal Statistics, j 246,000 fine ounces valued at s’>,-t 034,820 were mined here in Sep-, tember, and the production for the 1 month in Canada was 260,00'1, ounces, and South Africa's vield was 062,000 ounces. The total I world production for nine months ! is 17,230,000 ounces, worth $357,570,330. It was not until 1305 that! the yield for the whole vear equal-1 ed this. The average from I*7o to! 1890 was not much more than 6,000,000 ounces. This new gold goes ’ largely to back the currencies of' the gold-standard countries and ,to facilitate the payment of inter- 1 national balances. Even Russia produces* gold every year worth $30,000,000 which she can use ill her foreign trade. Federal Reserve Board review of business conditions in October, showing that the moderate volume j gains of September have been 1 maintained, emphasizes the fact ‘ that the general level is upheld principally by activity in non-dur-| able manufactures. This is in ac-' cord with the forecasts of econo- 1 | mists. When purchasing power is j I restricted demand drops off all > along tlie line. But some goods, are consumed immediately upon ; acquisition, and another class, in-! eluding shoes and textiles, speed-' lily requires replacement. The country is in the primary stages | of recovery because non-deferaNe ' needs are making themselves felt. I Normally about 40 per cent of the j country's workers are engaged ill' the production of durables — in building construction, in iron and i Ztoel, in automobile manufacturej and in lumber industries, for ex-, ample, P is a reasonable expei ta-1 lion that the next step in recovery should be reflection in these of the I improved position of the so-called . light" industries. Reviving activity of plants manufacturing wares ! that are now calling- for replace-! meat means wear on machinery,' demand tot heavy industry pro-' duels and extension of brightening conditions to quarters in winch tliey have not yet been adequately fell. Business must be content with small gains in the beginning of the reconstruction era. It can not climb the hill with the momentum at which it descended.

proceedings were contested by the Smiths. The case was carried tc the high court from Porter circuit court, resulting in a verdict for the Smiths. Mrs. Smith told Canne that the [ kidnaper came to her home to buy eggs. While he paid for ' them, he aHk*di' her concerning i the girl, who was standing neai- ' by. Then he picked up the child, drew a revolver and fled through a back door toward his automobile. Mis. Smith described the man as swarthy, short, and stocky. She believed he was a foreigner I lie gave only one command after seizing the child, she said, and that was: “Get back." Canne said there also was a possibility the child might have been the victim of a kidnaping plot intended for another person. The Smiths, he said, would not be in a position to pay a ransom. When seized, the child was without a hat or a coat, Mrs. Smith told Canne. GARNER SAYS CANVASS WILL BE CONDUCTED CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE would he brought before the house for action on that date. The status of the prohibition repeal amendment also wasd iscussed at the White Houle during the day. Senator McNary.

Bichmann said he was sending telegrams today to all sitting Republicans. asking their presence on the opening day. At the same time, Majority Leader Rainey said lie was so convinced of the ability of a straight-cut repeal amendment to obtain the necessary two-thirds majority that he believed a Democratic party caucus would not be necessary. “It should not be necessary to bind party members to vote to support their own platform,’’ he said, predicting house approval of repeal •larlier.
