His is one of the sad stories of the depression.

Another couple of weeks of good weather will find the crops; over Adams county started towards ' a happy harvest, with abundance and good priced, surest end to the depression. — Wages are going up in the textile regions of the New England states and that’s more good news. Fre- • quently we have All asked how bet-, ter times could come, whether from the farm or the city, whether from produew or the factory, but it looks ■ now as we might have known, that they go togethe: and after all thats the quickest and soundest road to recovery. All you have to remember in voting in the repeal election on June 6th is that to vote wet, place an I X in the first column and to vote dry, mark your X in the second column. The third column in this county is useless, as none tyit the regular candidates have filed a ; declaration at the clerk’s office and i

[consequently no one else could serve, even though they received a greater number of votes. Five young men from this countyhave entered the conditioning camp ar. Columbus, Ohio, and after two weeks training there will be sent to one of the forestry camps where they will be employed by the United States government for a year. It's a fine work and should be an excellent training for the lads. Five more can go from here if they so desire and those who wish to be thus employed should see Will Linn, chairman for the county. "Sincerity is the qualification most necessary for success," said Dr. E. T. Franklin in an able address to the graduates of the Decatur high school Friday evening, jHe stressed the point that any of the graduates, so desiring, can byproper effort, reach any reasonable goal to which they will aspire, but they must be faithful, honest and I sincere. He stressed good character and gave the boys and girls a happy, cheerful message of the I opportunities ahead. Dr. Franklin I pleased the large audience and renewed many friendships.

This action of course is j regretted by those interested in I school work and it is hoped that by another year, an improvement can I be arranged but the effort made by [ Mr. Worthman and the trustees j .and the fine spirit of cooperation i demonstrated by the teachers, is (deserving of commendation.

For ! seventy years it has been the out,-1 .standing morning paper over a j I territory within a radius of a hun- , i dred miles and reading your favjorite paper becomes a habit rather j i hard to break.

(ONLY FEW JOBS LEFT IN STATE > Democratic State Government Patronage- Is About Completed Indianapois, May 22 — (UP) — ( | Empty visitors’ chairs in the GovI ernor's office today bespoke a nearly completed Democratic state gov- > • ernment patronage. , Nearly all the state jobs are filled. As they have been passed out, * so has the number of job hunteri callers at the Governor s office de- ! pleted. The .number has gradually | gone dow<n in the last few weeks ; until today they came few and in--1 frequent. Only a few major jobs remain | to be filled by Gov. Paul V. McNutt. Chief among them is the new indusl trial board to be appointed. McNutt’s announcement of his selec- ! tions are expected momentarily. When the new members take office several clerk and stenographler jobs in the board offices will i change. Board members are Roscoe Kiper. Boonville, chairman; Walter Wills. Linton; Harry J. McMillan and Edgar S. Perkins, India-napolis, and W. A. Faust, Elwood. Faust and Penkins are Democrats but Faust is believed to be the only one who will be retained by McNutt. | Department heads whose dismisi sal is expected are Charles A. Rock- ■ well, secretary, and Mrs. Jessie Gremelspacher. formerly of Logan- ■ sport, chief of the women’s depart- • ment. McNutt also soon will name members of his n-w banking commisi sion. They will be non-salaried, however, serving only pantime. Al staff of bank examiners yet re-! I mains to be appointed, however. Examinations will be held to aid in their selection. Republicans still hold all jobs on i the board of agriculture and their positions are insecure due to a recent "n»n-in" between board beads i and administration leaders. Previously, they had expected to stay ! until January I—date when E. J. . Barker, board secretary, will retire as provided in a legislative act reorganizing the board. Because of the old intra party factional troubles of Frank Mayr, Jr., secretary of state, and “regulars”. several more Mayr-appointed i auto license branch managers are ' exp cted to be dismissed to be re- | plaocd by friends of McNutt and R. ■ Earl Peters, state Democratic I chairman. Several Republicans still remain | in the public service commission | and the highway department. Sev- [ sraJ are expected to be replaced I soon but because of the technical I nature of others’work. their jobs [ may be safe for several months or . even permanently. Minor reorganization of the state board of accounts' field force also ! is expected soon. On the staff of ( examiners- are 47 Republics "s and 42 Democrats. The part division is expected to be made equal, or perhaps with a slight advantage to j Democrats, after the force is re- ' duced slightly. Bulk of the jobs “are filled, howi ever, and offices are taking on a i settled, routine atmosphere. o * TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File j Teachers are selected for next I year.

MacDonald accepted the pact when he and Sir John Simon, his foreign minister, visited Rome in March. France and Germany held back. Then came President Roosevelt’s appeal to the world for peace and disarmament, and Adolf Hitler’s temperate sequel to it in the German reichstag. Hermann Goering, special envoy of Hitler, arrived in Rome for a conference at the opportune time. Mussolini obtained his approval of the revised pact, then that of Henri de Jouveael. French ambassador. Details of the conferences that led to the approval are not known. Europe’s smaller nations, the "Little Entente." Czechoslovakia. Roumania and Jugoslavia — allies of France — and Poland, always fearful of Germany’, had opposed the treaty, believing their interests might be endangered by a pact that included only the stronger nations. It was assumed France obtained concessions that would satisfy them, especially concerning national boundaries fixed by the Versailles treaty. For two weeks Mussolini had been trying to find some way to satisfy France and the smaller nations. It was understood one concession made was a promise
