Tell your farmer friends to grow ; sugar beets and show the advant- • age to them and to every one else., Let's get going. The next week-end will bring the - basketball tournaments and enough thrills to satisfy the most enthus-, iastic tan. Its great sport and ' thousands of folks look forward to ' these occasions as the outstanding events of the year. The terrible affair at Celina, 0., in which R. D. Morrison, former county surveyor, shat two members of the board of commissioners and then killed himself is deplorable. Sick in mind and worried over personal financial affairs no doubt was the cause. Mr. Morrison was known by many here. Senator Perkins of South Bend cldsed a dramatic term in the In-! diana legislature Saturday by re- ; signing. Hi* aauomarment was! startling and unexpected and caus- ] ed many comments. The senator has speent his time continuously in the present session in offering objections to every tiling brought up. The circumstance is regretted but perhaps unavoidable. Don’t put off signing a beet contract. Each day is bringing the Central Sugar Company nearer the goal of 12,000 acres and when that is secured, it will be too late. Those who have been raising this crop the past several years realize it is the best on the farm and those who wish to produce a real cash crop, will avail themselves of the opportunity now offered. One good thing about the new hank law is that we seem to be forever through with the receiver who gets about all the cash that comes in as has happened in some places the past few years. The department will after it is organized, assist closed banks in liquidation as soon as possible and that’s important.. We must clean tip all the debris before we can step forward to any noticeable extent. One of the criticisms being offered at this time, concerning the. legislature, is that some of the bills were put through 100 rapidly but that’s the only way it could have been done. If time had boen'grant- «•<!, every measure would have been amended until its author wouldn't have known it. The administration now has the machinery and

its up to them to make good and they will. Acting under the 1933 law, the county commissioners have reorganized the state road department, placing this work in charge of Ralph Koop, county surveyor and naming township assistants. It is evidenced that the county dads intend to hold down overhead in every way possible and the salaries of the new officials and workers will be low enough to please j the most particular tax reduction enthusiast, according to the contracts as announced. I Well, we finally come to the last week of the legislature. It must adjourn by next Monday and the motion to adjourn sine die will probably come Thursday, giving officials the opportunity to attend I the inauguration ceremonies at Washington. It has been a busy session and many important laws have been passed. Most of them we are sure will help us pass I i through the crisis and if there are some which need correcting, we are • sure that will come when Governor McNutt is assured of the necessity. i Upon the record made the administration is willing to stake sucI cess. — The releasing of prisoners who ' j are serving terms in prison for violation of liquor laws will no doubt draw criticism from many but the new Indiana law repealing the Wright statute, makes that necessary. Such prisoners could then be classed only as "political prisoners.’’ Another thing which enters into consideration of this action is that gt this time when the state is showing a deficit, such a release will reduce the number of prisoners perhaps by half, thus I permitting a distinct saving in ex-I peuses and helping to keep within . | the appropriations. So that’s au- | other feature of this era we are passing through. L.ao liirsch as chair'; '. d Mrs. t Charles Knapp as vice-. Uurman, were the officials chosen by the city committee a' Saturday’s meeting. They are capable and with the'cooperation of those who favor Democratic government here, will lead the party to victory next November. Dee Freyback was elected secretary-treasurer and will account for such funds as come into his hands. Dr. Burt Mangold who retires alter eight years as city chairman and with two victories to his credit, offered to cooperate with the new officials and to assist them in any way possible to conduct a successful campaign. Mrs. Knapp is an experienced political worker and as president of the! Woman’s Democratic Club, will' assist in numerous ways to win. j o . ! ♦ - ♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. * _ 4 1. Valbtjolid, Spain. 2.

By HARRISON CARROLL. Copyrl«ht. 1113. King FMturtf Ise HOLLYWOOD. Cal.. — Yesterday morning in Berlin, Herr Emil Jannings received a cablegram which must have given h i m uncommon pleasure. It was ij? an urgent summens to return '9H to Hollywood Iwhlehonceßj, 1 hailed h>m the Bjjgg ' 3 greatest of them -V m I all, but which I HL,_ £ scon forgot him ix. , inth< cacophony KKt of the early H9O “ jS& talkies. JS'J Now, Charles GKg. . R. Rogers wants ■MuSLjEsEB the German star F .. to come back to play the lead in Jannings “Hock Shop," a story about a foreign pawn-broker who becomes a power in a big Fifth Avenue jewelry store. In this part, Herr jannings’ accent, or what remains of it after hie recent studies tn English, will not be out of place. As the portly actor also has an offer to do a New York play, Rogers hopes he can he persuaded to make the journey to this country, “Hock Shop’’ will be the producer's eighth and last picture under hia present agreement with Parai mount. Like all the other Rogers pictures but “70,000 Witnesses,” it is a screen original, the authors being two fan magazine writers, Charles Belden and William Ullman, Jr. Elliott Nugent will direct. If Jannings does the picture, it will be his first English talkie. In December, 1926, he arrived here to work for Paramount and left in the early summer of 1929. His last silent film was “Sins of the Father," in which Ruth Chatterton also appeared. I Il Since the Halperin brothers have been making the picture, “Supernatural," they’ve been swamped by communications from self-styled mediums. Latest was a scrawled manuscript of a scenario, which the writer insisted had been written under spirit control. Edward Halperin had the manu--1 script returned with this notation: “Suggest you also get this produced and distributed under control; it I will make it easier for everyone con- ! cerncd.” — !

This is the biggest reply from any one district, showing what the Britishers think of westerns. Oddly enough, dozens of the Londoners picked the same name, “Whiskey."
