A few days of the kind of weather we have been having the past day or two and more farm work will be done than has been performed in the same number of days in a long time. — We don't feel we understand currency policies and particularly as it effects the world, but we have absolute faith in the men who are fighting for America and her people. The fact we are off' the gold standard don't bother many folks for the average person has never had enough of it at one time to make him care. Give us plenty of currency and silver and we will all try to get along. The Lindberghs had another narrow escape when they made a forced landing at Columbus, Ohio, and the Lindbergh luck is again being discussed. Its not luck as much as unusual ability to handle a plane but there is always the fear that some day. some thing will happen that even the greatest flyer in the world, can t avoid. We hope not for Colonel Lindbergh is a great man in many ways and while he has more or less dropped out of the picture, he is still the idol of every American. Arthur Brisbane, who has away of writing • clever things recently sent out this paragraph : Stocks went up partly because the American dollar, temporarly went down. President Roosevelt has decided to let Europe's opinion of the dollar take care of itself and to keep in America all our gold-reserve-rab-bit's foot. The President decides that gold, too precious for Americans to own,' is also too good to be sent to Europe. Europe shouts gleefully. “America is off the gold basis." Quite true, and if that comforts them, let them take comfort. The late gen Bis. ‘Tad." used to say, "I’d rather have them say 'there iw goes, than don't he look natural?’" More good news. 'KU- federal court at Grand Rapids has author ized the payment ot the balance of money due on the 1930 crop and this money will be paid within two weeks, according to a message from here. The owners of the Central Sugar Company will pay the bill and th" distribution will amount to a large total sum. much of which will reach the farmers of

this county. The amount paid at this time will pay the bill in full based on a price of $7 per ton as agreed upon by the growers. When Mr. McMillen and his associates t took over the local plant it was suggested that they make an offer of settlement on a basis of sixly- . five cents on the dollar but this 1 was immediately vetoed by Mr. Me- ' Millen and his desire has been to > meet the old obligation, which ot 1 course was not of his making, in ) . , full and that's what will be done. I ‘ i | A New York legislator has intro1 duced a bill which would abolish suits to collect damages for breach of promise to marry. It provides that "no court shall entertain any suit with respect to a contract entered into by virtue of mutual promise to marry"; and it would seem that every stale in the union could profitably copy this proposed law. As things stand now, most breach of promise suits are little better than a kind of blackmail. To be sure, the man who promises to marry a girl and then changes his mind inflicts a grave psychic wound; but it is not a wound which money can assuage. The deeper the hurt, the less like-! ly is the person who has been hurt to take the affair into court. —Hart | ford City News. The annual spring convention of the Indiana Women's Democratic Club will be held Saturday, May 13th, at the Dunes Park hotel iu Porter county on Lake Michigan, it is announced by Mrs. Glen Gifford, of Tipton, president of the organization.
