Russia as a cure: **ln Russia, as elsewhere, the fanners harvest their grain. They. haven't must to say about what ’ happens to the grain after that. I State collectors make their rounds, take'all the grain they can find, paying for it at the state's low fixed price in rubles. This price Q sometimes as little as one-tenth $e value of the grain in the open market. There is no bargaining. Soldiers back the collector's offer. Some of the farmers, not entirely convinced of the beauty of life under Soviet rule, try to hold back part of their harvest from the state jjjllectors. ».. Trophim Morosov was one of those who wanted to sell his grain ftr what it was rcallv worth. His I children, Pavel, 13, and Fedor, 9, ' were good little Communists who hud been taught that it was their duty, as citizens of the Soviet j union, to keep their eyes and ears i open and to report infractions of tire law. - They learned their lesson so well i that one day they informed on their ' Uther who was arrested, tried and banished for the crime of “ob-• Strutting collectivization." The! children were praised in official Soviet circles. They became known' us the “good children" and their perfect, and unnatural devotion to i tile State was held up as an ex-; ample for all Communists to follow. Qne day, the “good children" i were found in the woods, stabbed I tA..death. Neighbors and kin oil iheir father were arrested for the ' Jnirder and four were sentenced to' fleatlk , It isn't a pretty story but it| ghows how the Communist plan gait work out and what happens When a child is set to spy on f alter. It is a, compact answer to the question: “Why don't we recognize Russia?” The present government of that country does not merit the reijbgnition of any civilized people. Tiie possibility of trade with Russia does not permit us to throw bur common sense, as well as our ethics, overboard. A man coming upon a marauder in his house at night could probably sell his gun ’ to the intruder at a nice profit. But we have a feeling that, in the end. the deal wouldn't turn out jveil. The plea for recognition of Ttussia is now offered to the public as a cure for the depression. A tumbler of cailmllc acid will cure a headache. But what a cure. Extension Magazine. •- One of the serious matters to come before the 1933 legislature is the old age pension, promised in {he Democratic platform and already provided Tor in a bill offered.

I been tried, it has become so exi pensive that repeals or indication j is now urged as a part of economy ■ programs. The proposition has I merit in normal times but just now ' it seems foolish to reduce expenditures from the township to the state and then create the means of spending more and there can be no question but that it costs more to provide pensions than to take care of the poor in the old method. At least it ought to have earnest thought and careful consideration. - I I James D. Adams has been ap-1 pointed a member of the state I ; highway commission by Governor ' McNutt and all we need to say is I that the folks up in this part of ! the state know that no better ; selection could have been made. Mr. Adams is a publisher from Columbia City, a capable business man and one of the finest fellows ' we know. Governor McNutt will deliver the ! principal address at the Democratic Editorial meeting on February < 17th, assuring a great program, i These events are always interest- ; ing and this year hundreds will want to hear what the governor i thinks of his job after six weeks and what the legislature is doing ' towards driving out the depression. There were fifty-seven thousand less pleasure car automobile liceni ses issued in 1932 than in 1931. the I reports show, which is not suri prising under the economic condiI tions. Naturally a large number iof people made other arrangej meats. It seems 'a little queer that in these days when we are trying harder than ever before to hold | down our bills, the water and electric meters seem to run faster than before. Perhaps it just seems so because they are harder to meet. A number of local merchants and citizens have subscribed for preferred stock in the Farm Bureau Association, to assist in establish- ] ing a market for eggs and poultry The business has started off in al way that indicates great ultimate l success. It will seem like old times to read of "a bill for an act entitled an act to amend an act entitled an act.” It's a great puzzle some times to discover just what thev are trying to enact. Governor Henry Horner of Illinois is another governor who seems to be getting away to a good start, i Must be a relief to have a man like him after the regime of Lett Small.

By HARRISON CARROLL. I Copyright. 1932. King Feature* Syndic*:*, ine. HOLLYWOOD—How .•short is the memory of film fans’ .' Around this question revolves an argument between Frances " Mari on , ace and some of the othcials at MetroGoldwyn - Mayer. •<« ..|H Miss Marion 'mK j believes that Waiiace Beery jjSk followers still cherish the memory of him f ’ s.s "Butch,” hero r . of “The Big — House." She believes it SO con- Frances fidently that she Marion ‘is writing the (character into another story for , Beery and Little Jackie Cooper. So far, certain M-G-M production i officials wag their heads dubiously :at the idea. They think that “The > Champ” and “Flesh” have dimmed 'the interest in the early prison film, j They’re doubtful about sequels anyi way. I But Miss Marion perseveres and, because she is so often right, the officials have agreed to hold an open mind. As it happens, I can cite an instance to support her claim. The other night I ran into Beery, who had sneaked into Loew’s State Theatre here to see an early performance of “Flesh.” As we were walking down the stairs together, two girls spotted him. One sang out: “Mr. Beery, I thought your picture was great, but I liked you better in ‘The Big House.’ ” And here were two typical fans. One of Ilvllywcud's returning travelers around the canal picked up a swell story about an earthquake in a Central American town. It seems that three strong shocks tumbled buildings and wrought general havoc. A certain hotel stood up but was pretty badly wrecked. As the police went through it, they came to a room on the upper floor. The ceiling was caved in and all the furniture was smashed except for the bed. A man, they knew him for an American, was sprawled on the bed. Members of the constabulary rushed up to examine him for wounds. At the first poke he stirred, at the second he rose up in bed, stared at the uniforms and then at the wreckage around him. In drunken dignity, he waved off the police. “It’s all right, boys.” he said.

“whatever the damage is, I’ll pay for it.” And so Sidney Fox went and did. it. With Charles Beahan, too. Os all ways to cross up columnists! When Sidney was out here, we all thought that she would wed Jean Negulesco after his divorce wa» straightened out. Then came reports from Faris that John Farrow, busy swain that he is, might be the lucky fellow. And all the time it was to be Charles Beahan, Universal’s eastern scenario head and a friend of Sidney’s from New York stage days. Yesterday I talked with Negulesco. In a slightly foreign accent (Roumanian) he said: “I learned about it 15 minutes ago and when a willing friend sent me a copy of your newspaper. Well, that’s how life is. All 1 can say is, I wish her happiness.” HOLLYWOOD PARADE. The first Christmas tree to shine out on the Hollywood hills is Ramon Novarro's. He’s due to start a picture any day now and wanted to have the decorations finished. , . . Soon many trees, like gaily colored pyramids, will dot the slopes looking down upon the film city and upon its neighbor, Beverly Hills. Christmas is in the air. Yesterday, as I stood furtively examining some men’s silk lounging pajamas in a window, I became conscious of a girl inside the store laughing and pointing the finger of shame at me. It was Joan Crawford. Going in, I found her surrounded by suitcases, men’s robes, cocktail sets, golfing equipment, sets of military brushes and salesmen. With a half day off from the set. she had been in the .—— store since they opened the doors. And from t* s6 P' ease d l°oh ■Bpk TM of the hovering BBk* attendants the W morning had not been wasted.

FINANCES IN GOOD SHAPE I City of Bluffton Is Reported In Good I - inancial Condition Bluffton. Jan. 12-(Special)-Fin-ancial reports of the city of Bluffton were given to the city council here oy CouiKllmen Roy Vents and Morris McCray, showing the city to be ta e splendid financial condition. The reports showed that the city light plant in its general light fund and in its depreciation reserve has a balance of approximately $60,000 while J 40,000 community building bonds constitute the city's only outstanding bonded indebtedness. While the bonds were mad. payable over a period of 15 years the plant earnings have been such that the council would be glad to pay off at once $25,000 of the bonds. Interest is payable on the bonds, while at the same time inteteel payable on the city's deposits is payable under a new law to a state sinking fund starting with Jan. 1, 1933. All bonds could be paid off but the council would not want to run the balance too low for safety. Venis Praises Hans Vents praised Supt. Ed Ilans tor his splendid services he h is rendered in bringing the city plant to a high degree of efficiency, also the splendid improvement h? has mad? in equipment and appearances of the plant both inside and out. During recent months it was pointed out. Hans has had erected along th? river front a stone wall and an embankment of dirt to be sowed in grass, planted trees and made other improvements, while to the south of the plant he has grad-'d and prepared for futher improvement an entire one-half city block acquired by the council at ar. outlay of $4,100. He said this ground has been suggested for use for various purposes, including a park. ‘Another addition to the light and water department is the erection of a cement silo along the Nickel Plate tracks on West Cherry street capable of storing seven carloads of coal for the city plant. It was
