The distribution of the gasoline taxes will help considerably, the amount for Adams county being more than 136,000 and for the city of Decatur $2,162. Business at the county clerk's office seems to be keeping up to that of normal times with 373 cases ] filed during last year and 217 ; marriage licenses issued. Two hundred people met tragic deaths over New Years. Only ten of them, however, were charged to poison liquor, indicating that the bootleggers must be getting a safer brand of stuff. The bandits are at it again and bank hold-ups, club robberies and similar crimes are being reported. Its queer how these things seem to go in cycles. Just when we think its all over and people have settled down to be decent, here comes another outbreak of about every thing ever heard of. Janies W. Clark of Chicago is the head of the “Made in America'’ club and is getting some where with his campaign to secure the support of manufacturers, jobbers and every one else to put over the buy American made goods movement. Os course its sound and eventually we will be forced to do so. Why not start before we have to and save that much time? The receipt of checks from the receivers of the Holland-St. Louis Sugar Company is a welcome incident and comes at a time when every one fortunate enough to have a, balance due from the 1930 crop, will appreciate Ir.

Farm Bureau began this morning with H. R. Moltz as manager and Miss Fanny Hammel as assistant. The company is owned by an asso- . ciation of Farm Bureaus in eight counties in this part of the state and it is expected the business will be doubled during the next year. ' Mr. Moltz is enthusiastically hopej ful of the future and anticipates an excellent showing the first year and the growth of the institution r» ' J each year thereafter. ’| The 1933 session of the Indiana ) j I legislature starts off tomorrow and ) within another week will be going ) at full tilt. It is the expressed desire of Governor McNutt and other leaders that the work progress with speed. A program has been laid out and it will be the desire of those in charge to put this through as quickly as possible, one of the promises to the voters. Os course we usually start off with enthusiasm but soon get into a jam. Somehow or other we feel that , this one is to be different and thati there will be some real results for ; the people. Twenty per cent of the vehicles which travel on United States highway No. 40 in Richmond are class- : ed as of the commercal type in ! a survey which the state highway! department made here. The local data with that collected at more than eight hundred points in the state was submitted to Prof. W. G. Starr of Indiana university for analysis. He came to the conclusion that the increase of commer- i cial type vehicles on United States I 40 and other important arterial] highways would continue. The increase in the use of the highway by the commercial type of car indicates that the highway department will be compelled to consider! this factor in any future policy it may establish for those thorough- | fares which are direct routes for trucks and busses. An increase rather than a decrease in the use of the highways by this type naturally involves wider thoroughfares and also the establishment of regulations which are not ap plicable to those roads which are; principally used by passenger cars. On the section of United States 40 surveyed near Richmond, 20 per cent of the cars were using it for commercial purposes, as compared with 7 per cent in 1925.—Richmond Paladium. 0 — Test Your Knowledge I | Can you answer seven of these I | test question?

ANOTHER MINE WAR OUTBREAK CLAIMS LIVES CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ] I gave up their posts here only 101 !davs ago. Victims of the sudden outbreak were Vincent Rodenta national , guardsman working as a guard fori Peabody coal mine No. 7. and Mrs.' Emma Comulatto. 31, miner’s wife 1 whose home adjoins the mine property. The flareup came with little warning. Two hundred pickets, members of the Progressive Min- > ers of America, gathered about thei entrance of mine No. 7 at Kincaird. I i a few miles from here, as the day I shift was about to come off duty. ! A force of 150 special deputies was lon hand to protect the miners. | As the miners, members of the I United Mine Workers of America, started to go home, a shot was I fired. Investigation failed to show source of the shot. But its effect ' was ins,ant. From both sides came firing. More than 200 shots were fired before older was restored.

, chine gun. Sheriff Charles Wienecke ordered a hunt for the weapon. Men fell rapidly as the bullets sung through the crowd. One bullet, apparently a stray, struck Mrs. k Comulatto as she stood at the doorway of her home watching the r conflict. Bodems, one of the first . I men to leave the mine, went down! with the first outburst. 1 The battle was fierce but brief. ( Almost as soon as the first burst of firing was over, many stopped I fighting to care for the wounded. The hospital here was crowded. Some victims were taken to Springfield and a number were cared for •| in their homes. ’ I The 32 men rounded up by Sher- ! iff Wieueeke were to be questioned . concerning their part in the fray. Murder charges will be filed against some, he declared. Wieueeke said the pickets had ' come to the mine prepared for a battle. He said they were armed with guns, baseball bats, hickory clubs and knives. Major Omer Davenport. Decatur. 111, of the Illinois National guard., was sent here to observe the situation and to report to Adjutant General Carlos Black if the militia was needed to preserve order. Fatal conflicts between the finite factions, policy, deputies and guardsmen have occurred at intervals for months. The mines com-1 munities have been in a state of' tension since a group of miners I split with the long-organized Unit-' ed Mine Workers over questions of policy. The new union has i sought to halt operation of mines | I by members of the opposing union, j I ~Q WILL NOT MAKE FORMAL REPORT FROM PAGE ONE schedule. The council was uot asked to approve the rales.

Hostilities in the Shanhaikwan urea were suspended, at least mo-1 meutarily, while Peiping, Tientsin. and other cities within striking distance of a possible Japanese advance to the south lived under -great tension. It was believed, however, that! the Japanese would continue to I hold Shanhaikwan to protect their! troops from attack during an ad-1 vance into Jehol. The Chinese] telegraph administration reestablished communication with Shanhaikwan. disrupted during the fighting. (j-, STATE POLICE TO MAKE CHECK CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ; ditious. j Mr. Garrott added tliat fatal automobile accidents have declined ! 23.25 per cent, or mearly one fourth, j lin 1932 as compared with 1931. He, jpointed out that this record is 60 percent belter than the average for (the country as a whole. I A considenible share of the cre!dit for this remarkable showing in 1 Indiana was claimed by the state police head for the road patrol and (safety work done by that organization. He pointed out also that the 1 I'ctivity of sherijt’s. police, marshals, courts and prosecutors and of newspapers, motor and truck assoIciations, schools, school safety pa- : trols and the like contributed mightly to the fine record made. —-—t o Notice of Annual Meeting of the Members Decatur Savings and Loan Ass n.
