Support your institutions and your business concerns. Help get things started. Let's make this rhe first community to come out of the depression ague. We can do it. Big sugar meeting at the Catholic high school auditorium, next Friday afternoon. Be there. You will want tp hear the plans and Mr. McMillen will tell you about it ■ himself. It will be wise for the members of the legislature to remember that with all the burdens of today, any new tax will be unpopular. It does look as though we ought to hunt means of reducing expenditures rather than to impose additional burdens on the backs of business men or any one else. Other communities may sit around ami nurse a sore toe because of the depression but this one. assisted by Dale W. McMillen and his associates are going to pull out. That’s great news and I we believe the meeting here Friday will be a great tonic for every one who attends. Come to the sugar beet meeting here Friday afternoon if you are interested. It will be to the interest of every one in the community. The farmers who raise beets should Irave the front seats for upon them depends the success of the plant and they will want to hear what Mr. McMillen and his associates Have to say. - The sugar beet meeting here Fri<U.V will of ourse be of greatest interest to the farmers and wo Irope every one who earns a living by agricultural pursuit or who owns a farm within twenty-five miles of Decatur will be there. Tell your neighbors and friends. Let's give Dale McMillen and his associates a rousing reception. Tin y are going to try to help us out and we will appreciate it. The Borne Witness is having a Iq, of trouble trying to find something which they can shout about that will give them a political advantage. This is certainly not the thne to be making "much ado about nothing”, but if it relieves them, let them go to it.

Serious as the Michigan banking ti situation is, it will probably not 1i effect Indiana greatly as the wash-' i out here has been rather thorough. I: Banks in this county are in excellent condition and supported by the | good citizens here, will ride the waves of depression. In Michigan the problems are entirely different', and Governor Comstock took the i only poprAe possible. The situ-1 ir< t ' ation will, we are sure, be straightened out within a week and every thing will be healthier than before. ————— Our old friend, Jimmy Adams of Columbia City, who made his way and reached success by battling over the rough old road of operating a daily newspaper in a small city, has been named chairman of the new state highway commission. He is conscientous and industrious and will make good. The governor has made no mistake in his selection of a man for this very ( important place in Hoosier reorganized government. President Hoover gave an address at New York which was advertised as his farewell They perhaps meant it . was his final public speech as chief executive but some of those who listened to him felt . it might be his last big address as a politician, for they express disappointment at his lack of expressed hope for the future of his party. It is quite probable iiiai any other person who has gone through the experience of the President the past three years would feel somewhat down and out. It’s a poor time to talk politics any way tor this nation has a job ahead and only by honest-to-goodness cooperation or all good citizens, can we come through with flying colors. Society is indebted to deput’ constables of St. Louis county, Missouri, for ending the criminal proclivities of two bank bandits who robbed a Washington (Ind.) bank of $5,500. The pair had roared westward after looting the bank. The constables halted them for speeding. The desperate criminals attempted to shoot their way to freedom, but the coolness and accuracy of one officer, after his companion had been wounded, resulted in the death of one bandit aud the fatal wounding of the other. Tile ’ dead fugitives were identified as * the pair that had robbed the Hoosier Isiuk. Most of the money was recovered. Crime has increased to,

I the point where the public favors | cold lead as the chief deterrent to I those who are always ready to kill I in their forays on banks and other I places where ready cash can be ! found. The Washington bandits I will not put the state to the ex- , a lengthy trial, with crafty defense lawyers using all the technicalities available to cheat justice {and with the possibility, after conij viction, that a parole board might turn the men loose again to prey on society. This case is closed. jit should point the moral that j crime does not pay. — Indianapolis 1 Star. o ♦- ♦ Answers To Test Questions Below arc the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. « « 1.

TH E LAST TIME For the last time in American history, the inauguration o£ a new President will occur on March 1. The adoption of the "Lame Duck" Amendment will cause inauguration day hereafter to fall on Feb. 20. In m>vu ration ceremonies have always been picturt./pir event...; on a few occasions they have been near-tragic events. Did you know that there is no provision in tin Constitution or in law for’an inauguration? Did you know there is no provision for notifying a President that he has been elected? Did you know that there is no provision for a Chief Justice swearing in a President? Do you knowhaw many Presidents have taken the oath before others titan a Chief Justice? Do you know how many Presidents took the oath somewhere other than Washington? Do you know that one President was sworn in March 3? Do you know that riflemen on the housetops guarded the line of escort at another President’s inauguration?

MANI OFFICES ~ TO BE FILLED ■ {James I. Farley Will Have Many Posloffice Vacancies To Fill Washington. Feb. 14 —(Special) Representative-elect James I. Farley Democrat, of Auburn, Ind., will hive approximately a dozen postoffice vacancies in the New Fourth Indiana District during his first year in offi-e to consider, and most of these will occur shortly after he takes office Mai eh 4. Jn many cases the terms of the incumbents have expired some time ago, and they are either holding I over as acting postmasters, or other ] acting postmasters have been ap- < pointed. Because of the Senates' refusal to confirm further -appointments of President Hoover, the new administration will get to name the new postmasters in many cases. In several instances recommendations were forwarded to the Presi dent by Represenative David Hogg, of Fort "Wayne, the retiring Congressman from the old Eleventh District, -and they were sent on to . the Senate by President Hoover, j but they have failed to get action and now the incumbents are crowded out of a chance for another fonryear appointment.

FINAL CLEAN UP ON BLAN KEyTS WE HAD A WONDERFUL BUSINESS LAST WEEK ON BLANKETS’ I Our stock now is very low, in fact down to one or two tables of blankets, just odds and ends and samples.
