Cheap enough when you consider that every one will have a lot of fun and an all-around good time. The Democratic committee needs .a little money to meet the deficit from the campaign and will appreciate a donation from any person who feels patriotic enough to offer it. Governor Leslie and Governorelect McNutt talked things over yesterday and probably discovered that the other is an “okay felW when understood. In this country we say and do a lot of things during campaign times that really doesn't count when we get down to real business. Al Smith is a busy man. When he isn't in politics he is attending to business of considerable importance. Neverthless he is finding time to solicit funds for the unemployed and is doing a good job. With his famous old brown derby on and the smile which made Gov ellivi Roosevelt dub him the “happy warrior" he saunters up and down Fifth Avenue and few turA him down when he asks for a donation to aid the less fortunate. Just what the hunger marchers expect to gain by walking to Washington and asking for some-1 thing to eat, is difficult to figure. The truth of it is they will be surer of a square meal if they stay at home, permitting each community to care for its own needy. That's the only sensible way for the government cannot undertake to dish out food or money in any such quantities as would be required. It scarcely seems fair to punish the children because of the depression and that's what we are doing when we limit the school term to five months. Os course if we can't get the money and must meet the same’ overhead as we have now. that is the natural result but under present economic conditions we must and will do the very best we can. Perhaps the next legislature will devise some means of raising money other than by direct tax on real estate and make it possible to continue the schools as they should be. It is inspiring to watch the women who are cutting out and making garments for the needy of Decatur. The work is under the Red Cross chapters in Decatur, Berne and Geneva and in caCh place a large force is now preparing the jlresses. shirts and other articles for distribution. Decatur is taking care of th" six north townships, Berne has Blue Creek, Mana* and From h while Geneva lias Jefferson. Wabash and Hartford. The material is furnished by the National Bed Cross who re reived the cotton from the government and hail it made into goods and are now distributing it over the country. It's a great work all around, shows the way we do things iu this country and the splendid women whp are devoting their time thus deserve much

credit for their wonderful work and fine spirit. Among the resolutions to be proposed at a meeting of the Farmc ers’ Holiday Association in Omaha, Neb., are two having far-reaching implications. First, the farmers . | are advised to refuse to recognize ■■ the legality of foreclosures of mortgages on their farm property' and ’ 1 to do all in their power to prevent I forcible collections of debts and i taxes. Second, a moratorium of • debts and taxes is to be declared until congress guarantees cost of production of farm products, plus profit. In view of the established reputation of the American farming population for conservatism and law-abiding conduct, one may question how far the farmers will be willing to follow such leadership. If, in their customary spirit of fairness, the farmers were to consent to grant to business in general the same exemption from payment of debts and taxes which these resolutions would claim -for the farmers, breakdown of the entire governmental machinery together with destruction of the whole civic, industrial and commercial fabric might be threaten-! ed ' I Two national conventions of state j officials — one of highway managers and the other of fiduciary rep-J resentatives — have just expressed | alarm over the increasing tendency’ to divert proceeds of gasoline tax ation from road and bridge funds to other purposes. They hold that! levies on motorists should be ear- i marked exclusively for upkeep and extension of motoring facilities, i They warn the numerous legislatures about to meet, to resist the temptation to employ the easy money extracted from the pockets of the gas-buyer for other than highway uses. The principle they advocate is sound. But even sound principles cannot be undeviatingly applied. The code that controls the actions of two men living a normal urban life will not govern

Decanters In order to keep the sparkling ap-1 pearance of decanters they must 1 be cleaned even if not used. The j work can be made easy by using a , solution of a little vinegar with! a handful of salt. Place in the de-! canter and shake thoroughly, then , rinse in clear water. A Shampoo Soap An. excellent shampoo can be made from bits of toilet soap that have been boiled with a little water and left in jellied form. c DRYS HOPING FOR REACTION .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE I agree on strategy. Drys are — they will tell you privately counting on a backswing from the recent anti-prohi-bition tide. They believe that an- 1 ti prohibitionists are galloping into a period of what one of the, drys calls a beer anarchy, when regulation will have been re-1 scinded or will collapse, when’ saloons or illegal will open up. and when generally a state of! open nullification and unregulated traffic will run riot, with corner drug stores selling the new I 2.75 or 3 per cent beer. And as they conjure up this picture, they see the white ribbon] army of church going mothers! who were the backbone of the original prohibition army re-en-listing for the duration to save! their children from sitting next 1 to beer • drinkers at the' corner drug store soda fountain. That about boils down the dry! position at the moment as nearly I as the attitude of a group hold-| ing various views can be sum-1 marized. "This thing will start our money) coming in again," one dry representativ, -aid. "It will be the

best thing to wake up our people that has happened since Jim ■ Reed left the senate. When he was going after us, he was the best thing we had. Every speech i he made would start new contributions coming in. The pendulum is just about ready to swing , back." Looking ahead, these drys figure! they have repeal checkmated whether it is attempted via ratification by state legislatures or via state conventions. if by legislatures, ihey figure that less than 150 mem biers of senators of 13 states will be sufficient to block ratification. It. as is more probable, ratification is proposed by means of conventions, then they have ready the budget of questions recently prepared by Edward B. | I Dunford, anti-saloon league geuer- | al counsel, and one of the best i informed lawyers in the country > on prohibition law and court decisions. Each of these questions ! suggests a dilemma or raises a , point on which drys might go into I court and tie up action. i The questions are based on the, I fact that previous constitutional amendments were ratified by legislatures and that the country has no experience and no law to control the process of ratifying by conventions. This dry legal authority asks: Os how many delegates should I such a convention consist, by what ) districts would they be elected? Would not these and all relatled matters become a political t'oot- • ball in each state? Would not wet legislatures seek to gerrymander the districts to I give wet sections more influence and dry -legislatures to give dry districts a predominating control? Other questions ask what control to prevent corrupt practices ! could lie set up. What would be i the tenure of delegates, and whether they could continue indefinitely in event of disagreei ment. o — COUPLE FACES MURDER COUNTS | CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE | !to light.

HOUSE CANVASS REVEALS MANY FAVOR REPEAL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) This resolution was voted down, 227 to 187. Ninety Democrats and 97 Republicans voted for the i measure. The canvassers calculated that repeal forces would pick up 28 more "Republicans and 60 Demo- ■ crats, Garner said he had conferred at: length with Rep. Milligan, Dem . Mo., who has had charge of the prohibition poll, and had found a swing toward outright repeal. “Milligan reported a great many changes in sentiment.” the vice president-elect said, “and if the balance of the membership follows the lead of those now here it looks favorable for repeal.” “I don’t see any reason why it (the repeal resolution) shouldn't be brought up Monday," Garner said, "and have about decided I will do so. The gentlemen who opposed it have about come l around to deciding we are going to have a vote on repeal sometime and it might as well be now.” “It is simply a question.” Garner added, “as to whether representatives will stand by their party platforms, their presidential candidates, and the apparent will of the American people. It is a question whether they are district congressmen or congressmen for the whole people.” The vice president-elect declined to predict passage of the repeal amendment by the necessary two-thirds vote, but insisted that it must lie acted upon in any event. Yesterday, the speaker said that if a majority appeared opposed to an immiedl'ate repeal vote" lie would not go through with his plans for a first day roll call. “I have received definite information of a decided swing in prohibition sentiment." Garner continued, "two Republicans told me we could expect more than 100 votes for repeal from their side, ' while one said he thought he was ' sure of 120 votes." Garner said he expected a great I many southern Democrats, “who have been dry,” to vote for outright repeal. Garner predicted the Judiciary , committee, which must consider ■ l.be repeal resolution, would ap-

The Smith family, being tenant farmers, would not be in a position to pay ransom, I it was pointed out. Smith joined in the search'with ;! Kanne, who is assisted by state po- ! lice. Mrs. Smith remained at 'home, anxiously awaiting news 'from the searchers. Although! ! slightly hysterical after the child' was stolen, she became calm as she assured herself that no harm would come to the girl. Blonde, blue-eyed and fair, Paitricia Pearl is three feet three ' ■ inches tall and weighs 37 pounds, j her grandmother said. She wore:

: i 'I Bronchial Troubles Need Creomulsion Bronchial troubles may lead to something serious. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote ) that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a ’: new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. 11 Os all known drugs, creosote is recog. nized by high medical authorities as ono i of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms | of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing ele- ■ ■ ments which soothe and heal the infected I membranesandstoptheirritationandin- ! > flammat ion, while the creosote goes on to ) the stomach, is absorbed into the blood. attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and l colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and > other forms nf respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system i after colds or flu. Money refunded if any coughorcold.nomatterofhowlongstanding. is not relieved after taking according todirections. Askyourdruggist. (Adv.)
