Advertising Rates made known on Application. National Adver. Representative R. E. Deal, one of the three survivors of the Akron wreck, is known as "Lucky" Deal, because lie was one of the fqw to escape death when the Shennadoah cracked several years ago. Now they will probably dub him “Luckier.” The manufacture and sale of beer ! has created some activity in a business way, according to all reports ■ and many believe it will really help I the economic situation. After a few weeks we will all be better able to judge just whether the laws are an improvement or not. Some like the beer and some don't. Some think it injurious while others claim it has food value. We admit we don't know. So about all there is to do is to permit those who like it to drink it within the law and those who don't, can still stick to water. A combination dairy and community day would be interesting and helpful to the farmers, the merchants and every one else. The Cloverleaf Creameries will put on the dairy program and have kindly invited the merchants to participate. It looks like old man opportunity knocking again. The thirty hour labor bill has been held up in the house so as not to get in the road of other and more important legislation and to await the decision of President Roosevelt. That's good judgment for the people knows that the chief will investigate and dtudy the problem and abide by his decision. So far we have heard of no candidates, either for or against the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. The election will be held June 6th bitt of course the first thing is to find out who wants the job. A petition signed by five hundred voters is necessary to file. Since there is no recompense for the job. it must be entirely a desire to serve, that prompts one to become a candidate. The thirty hour week seems to have a chance but we can't, see how it will help greatly. The man out of a job wants one that will make him a living and give him a —™ m

chance to pay some of the bills i hat have piled up, while the man working now feels he can't get by with any less than he is getting and keep his chin up. To divide the t pay check of the fellow with a job will not help ve r y much and may hold back the prosperity era that seems in the making. t That President Roosevelt's plan I to institute strict governmental | J regulation over all new security! I issues will meet with strong public | j support goes without saying. It is ■ possible that that would not have i been the case a few years ago. We 1 weren't ready then to admit that investors need Federal protection from those who are trying to get their money. We were riding on the crest of the wave, and the mere suggestion that any hut an important percentage of the new stock and bond issues could cost buyers their shirts was looked upon as perverted and unpatriotic. Since then, though, we have had our fingers burned: and we shall emerge from the depression with our whole machinery for handling money, loans, investments and the. like on I a much sounder basis than ever before. —Elkhart Truth. Smililng. able and progressive Speaker Rainey—he of the flowing I Windsor tie and the wavy white i locks —lias joined in the business jof precedent breaking, says Ben Stern. Before the dean of the 11l- j inois delegation was elected Speak- ' er it had been the custom of the presiding officer of the senate to vote only in case of a tie. (Just as in the Indiana house of representatives). But Rainey, it seems, wants his stand recorded, tie or no tie. So. after the clerk completed the roll call on the economy bill. i Rainey asked that his name be' called in order and listed among, the ‘ayes'. After the beer bill vote he did the same. Rainey feels that although lie is Speaker, it is no less true that he continues to be the electeel representative from an Illinois congressional district. His constituents are entitled to know how- he stands on the issues before the house in these critical times. This departure from practice is commendable and should be called to lie attention of die Indiana speakers of the future, who feel that the office they occupy precludes them from representing their constituents. ♦ ♦ | Household Scrapbook -By- | ROBERTA LEE - ♦ Care of Ferns A fern should not lie moved from place to place, and should not lie kept hi very strong sunlight.
