Among other crops plan to grow a few acres of sugar beets this year. Something wrong all the time. Twenty years ago the files record a lettuce famine. / Yesterday’s brand of weather would have spoiled an inaugural parade. If Tuesday wasn't an old fashioned February day the weather man never made one. Speaking of the weather someone wrote that Hoover was not blamed for the slush in the streets. If Americans stopped smoking cigarettes or running -their automobiles tax might have to be levied on beans and potatoes. Congressman Hogg drew full pay all the time he served in the House and then voted to cut the nay nf his successor. Was there anything personal The film Washington Merry-go-round exposed many of the old political tricks and abuses in government. Probably some fellow is working on a new plan to beat the game. The Boy Scouts celebrated last night and those who might be inclined to think that enthusiasm was dying in young America had another think coming. Ten years from now these young fellows, not crimped by the depression will be doing things in a big way. Final tributes were paid to Dr. Frank Lose this morning, funeral services being held at St. Mary’s church. Many business houses closed during the funeral hour and friends, members of the medical association, Legionnaires and citizens joined in paying their respects to a loved and honored man. » Markers, bearing the number 527 have been posted along the new stale road running southeast from Decatur to the Ohio state line. The state highway commission recently took over this important route and

traffic over it will increase from year to year. Eventually the road will be improved and will be used extensively. The Saturday Evening Post edi- ’ torially ed' ises to forget about the former year's total ot business and . to adjust yourself to present day ■ volumne. Comparisons with a few I years ago tell a different story we I know, but one thing is sure, the. ' business that lives or carries on I 11 , i will not do it on past records but i on the present day conditions. ————————— The city plant, although not showing profits as large as in former years, kept out of the red and the earnings reflect that all businesses suffer when the other fellow is out of work or cannot operate. Maximum production is what builds us profit and in times when this cannot be done the job ' becomes one of holding the margin I between profit and loss. The reduction in the price of stone to be furnished the highway ' department will save the county several thousand dollars this year. Estimated at 40,000 tons a year, the ■ county will save at least $4,000 on ! the 10-cent per ton reduction made by the quarrymen. The reduction is appreciated and means that more and better care of the 745 miles of county road can be given by the highway department. The dairy industry has done much to increase market facilities and values in the local community. Fifteen years ago the herds of dairy cattle were small compared to the present number and practically no market existed for milk and butterfat. Today, farmers tell us, the demaud for dairy products is one i of the best of any product they have to sell and the price paid war- ! rants them to produce it. Old age pensions do not do away with poorhouses nor with the cost of maintaining such institutions, j In several states the ever-mount-' ing pension costs have been much ’ heavier than anticipated. New' York state has been compelled to I reduce old age pensions drastically 1 atter discovering that the state's half of the cost of such pensions was running well over $10,000,000 j annually and increasing at an l alarming rate. California has a . very positive movement for the repeal ot her old age pension law, which, while failing to bring about economies in poor relief, has opened the way to limitless fraud and grafi by those seeking to compel. the state to take care of the old j folk regardless of the ability of' relatives tn look after their own, —' Lafayette Journal and Courier. o Household Scrapbook -By— ROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ Lacing Shoes There will be fewer accidents if, when lacing children’s shoes, upon reaching the top eyelet the shoes aie laced from the outside in instead of from the inside cut.

An economy measure inttodueed today would reorganize county governments. abolishing many tetwnship offices and reducing salaries of I officials. It provides for counties to be divided into three classes based on population. Many fees heretofore collected by elective offices would be turned over to the county under terms of the bill. The beer bill had been left in committee when -administration leaders feared that it might be unconstitutional |A move also had. ’ been made to delay action on it ’ pending passage of the CoLier bill ; in congress. Chief of the amendments added | today would reduce the tax on alco- ' hoi and medicinal whiskey, the li- ' cense fees for wholesalers and re- ’ tailers and tax on malt. Another a-; mendment would permit the rnanu- j facture of home brew providing it' ' j was not sold.

coroftiwc, 1 . 11 Scouting and the Church J 1 More than fifty per cent of all the ( Boy Scout troops in the United t States are sponsored by churches ot 'several religious bodies. Thus the t ' Boy Scout Movement whicn is pre f paring to celebrate its twenty-third ( anniversary February Bth to 14th. , 1933, stands almost unique among ‘ organizations in that the Boy Scout £ platform Is one upon which those of all religious bodies, and all races, may meet There are strong Protes- . itant, Catholic and Jewish commit- | tees and members of all three groups are active upon the National . Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America and participa’e in the administration of its affairs. The Scout Oath and Law which have ’ been described as the base upon which the Scout Movement rests are world wide, and are found whereever-there arc Boy Scouts. In no instance is Scouting regarded as a particular activity of any religious body but as a Movement in which, all may participate in the conscious- j ness of a splendid program drafted and built for all boys. A church, connection and sponsorship is regirded by Scout eaders as ot first importance in connection with a Scout troop in that the atmospere is wholesome, the surroundings ex cellent and the boys are in contact with those who set a fine example for growing youth. Build For Character Jn celebrating its twenty-third an- . nlversary the Boy’ Scouts of Amer- . ica again properly draws attention to the fact that its program is designed to supplement and in no wise |to supplant the home, the church NOTICE! TO ALL THAT ARE INTERESTED IN ZION CEMETERY On account of the death ot William Yager the following officers have been appointed: President, H. H.
