What Indiana makes, makes In- 1 diana, and sugar aud sugar beets I will help do that. ! ———— . Indiana should buy Indiana made i sugar. The Decatur plant can only 1 make one-tenth enough. Every 1 pound ought to be sold here. Adams county should easily produce from 3.500 to 5.000 acres of ' beets. That would mean the dis- 1 tribution here next autumn and 1 winter of several hundred thous- ' aud dollars. t Get this every hundred pounds ' of sugar manufactured, means eight 1 hous labor and then figure this: 1 the Decatur plant this year, will 1 produce 2.400,000 hours of labor. s Isn't that worth fighting for? < I Governor McNutt will be busy < the next day or two. More than ' a hundred bills passed the last few | days of the legislature, await his i approval or veto. He will scrutinize them carefully and will act ; within the time required under the ; law. Then he will begin his reor- ' ganization in earnwi. If you can't make money out of , the beet business, you will not be asked to raise this crop. The new . owners want every one who does business wist them to make money. That will make permanent support- , < rs and that’s what is desired. On the other baud if you can raise them, its your loyal duty to do so. t During the present bank holiday, [ securing cash is quite some difficulty and local merchants are being hard pressed. It should be the ' purpose of every one to keep money ( at. home as much as possible these ! days. Don't send it away. We ‘ know that in operating a printing plant, meeting the pay roll and 1 other expense- this week is about 1 , i as tough a job as we ever tackled and we will appreciate any pay- , merits of cash possible. Chris Eicher, retiring as road superintendent, completed his job by turning over a complete inventory of m ichinery and equipment 1 to Ralph Roop, county surveyor now in charge of the work. Finis did it as lie lias always performed public service, in a thorough and j satisfactory manner and'Mr. lloop's public appreciation was sincere. Tim roads are in excellent condition ami the equipment is in good repair, thanks to the careful attention of the retiring superintendent.

I whose record is deserving of the | approval of every citizen *’ - The banking situation is clearing each day and by the end of the week, the crisis will he over. President Roosevelt and his aides in | Washington are devoting much [time to solving the very difficult I problem, which once worked out, s will be a preventative against simI ilar experiences as those of the past three years. The First State ! bank here will reopen Friday and ' President Dugan, grateful and appreciative of the support given him. assures us that business there ( will proceed in regular order. I; t The death of Will R. Wood of 1 , . i Lafayette, removes another splen- £ did citizen, whose life was devoted f to his state and nation. For many , years he represented the old tenth i * district in congress, concluding his A duties last Saturday. He had held ■' numerous positions of high honor I j and during the last congress was i chairman of the powerful appro-1* priations committee. Os the con-i servative type, he was nevertheless i 1 able and effective. He was recog-' I nized as one of the ablest men of; the Republican party and had much | to <l-1 with the conduct of recent < campaigns. i s Efforts to secure more beet j acreage in Adams county will be | made this week, the field men being asssisted by local business men and others interested. This was v the decision unanimously agreed I to and concluded at a meeting held p here last evening. James Elberson, presiding. There is no questioned but that the required amount and jc more can be secured, nor is there j any doubt that every farmer who ( can do so, should engage in beet I ' ci farming this year. It is profitable i and a good crop for the farm. It I will be the means of employing | people and helping to restore con | ditions to normalcy. It's a duty ■ we all owe to Mr. McMillen and his I associates, to secure the acreage'’ as close to the plant as possible. I, That's better for every one. giving ' larger profits to those so engage I * and assuring a continuance of the : i industry. j 1 I — 0 ♦ ♦,; | Household Scrapbook -By- !

At the city hall, a catafalque was I prepared for the casket under the central rotunda.
