If the people had really known that going off the gold standard would have made conditions improve as they have, they would have slipped off a long time ago. It is hoped the delegates to the London conference will think harder, talk less and act more wisely than have some of our representatives in previous world huddles. The right of suffrage is a wonderful thing if we use it. If we don't, then we have no right to complain about results. Vote your sentiments Tuesday and then abide by the decision of the majority. That makes for good government. Adams county is still rich, the depression notwithstanding and nevertheless, but the tattered flag on the court house gives the impression that we don’t think the depression is over. Can't we afford that much extravagance if that's what ii is? The General Electric is getting back to normalcy and during the past few weeks have added more than 800 employes here and at Fort Wayne. Orders are coming in steadily and show an increase over the last five months of last year. I Mr. Goll, general manager is opti-l mistic over the future. The first returns from the tax on beer has been received in this county and if that ratio of returns continue, it may bring the relief, that tax payers have been demand- [ ing the past several years. It isl perhaps not an entirely satisfactory way to raise money but if the people want to drink beer and pay the tax, it will help out those who don’t as well as those who do. The Century of Progress exposition in Chicago continues to attract great crowds and as the season goes along and the exhibits and features are completed, the attendance will increase. Governor McNutt today uedicated the Indiana exhibit and will also speak at the.big fair on Indiana day, July 13th. “Lets go Chicago and lets go America" is the slogan and they seem to be putting it over in a big way. Next Tuesday is election day. at ■which time Indiana will decide

whether her citizens prefer repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment or a continuation of it. That’s import1 ant and many questions enter into I. deliberations of the voters. Some argue the economic side, others the moral question and many seem uninterested. Every one should vote. .. Certainly you know what you pret fer as to this long discussed issue. Now you have been given the op- ■ portunity to express yourself. Do > M ! We learn with sincere regret ) that Miss Annette Moses, for more 1 than a score of years, Decatur librarian, is to reside elsewhere. Her work here has been of that high quality that deserves great credit. Faithful and efficient, courteous and kind to all, willing and anxious to serve and capable in every way, she has rendered to the people of this community, a service for which she could not be paid in money. That she has the good wishes of every one here, is, we are sure a gratification to her. Wherever she goes the kindest remembrances of a grateful people I will follow her and we join with her hundreds of friends in the hope that her health will be restored . and that she may find happiness and contentment. i Some one suggests that higher : wages and shorter hours would ’ help the “poor boys’’ here. Os ( course they would but its perhaps , a little early to urge that. There 1 are still millions of men out of ( work in the country and while that ; situation exists, a return to normal 1 conditions for wage earners will ‘ not be rapid. Every employer j should and most of them will meet l conditions and aid in every way to ' improve them as rapidly as they ] can do so. They too have had ! their troubles and many are still finding it a tough job to meet the z pay rolls. Every one has been wonderful during the trying days ot the past three or four years. Hang on a little longer. We have , turned ’the corner and will soon be 1 t traveling under sunny skies. j o ——l Test Your Knowledge | t | r | Can you answer seven of these | a test questions?

SCOUTS RALLY AT FORT WAYNE Camporall For All Troops In Anthony Wayne Area June 9,10, 11 Scout Headquarters today annowniced a Boy Scout Camporall for ■ all troops in the Anthony Wayne Area Council to be held in Fort Wayne on June 9, 10 aii:d 11. The Camporall is a combination two-day camp and scout rally. Scout patrols of eight scouts each will be selected by the various troops of the Area to represent their troop in the Camporall. The patrols will erect their' camps Friday evening, June 9, on a site assigned to them and will camp under the direction of the patrol leader. They will be judged by a picked group of scouters in the way they erect their camp, the manner of preparation of food, the care of equipment, their personal appearance and their behaivor throughout the encampment. On Saturday afternoon all scouts j of the patrol will participate in a scout field day. Demonstration in skill and woodcraft will be made in such activities and competitions as signaling, first aid, water boiling' fire-by-friction and flint and steel, compass and knot tying. The public is invited to visit the encampment' at any time. Saturday night, a camp fire program will be held and will probably include a short Court of Honor and some entertainment features of interest to parents and friends of the scouts. Troops have been training for this activity for some time and it promises to be a very interesting patrol camping demonstration. One requirement o the Camporall is that each scout participating must attend church senices in a church ot his own faith or choice. The closing ceremony on Sunday afternoon will probably include recognition of Flag Day. Fred Wehrenberg is the general chairman of the committee in charge of arrangements. The Camporall will be held in Franke Park Fort Wayne on Friday Saturday and Sunday, June 9, 10 and 11. 47 GRADUATE AT CATHOLIC SCHOOL HERE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) and is particularly noticeable ini the modern forms of recreation, en-j joyment and business. Many are lured into fields condemned because the rest places and the shade trees there seem more inviting and refreshing. The tendency to excess and craving for excitement brings with it a willingness to encourage in social intercourse abuses that would not be tolerated in the privacy of the home. A good deal of our recreation today is dangerous because it appeals to the sex instinct and tends to stir up the animal nature. “In business we have seen this same worshiping of false gods. I Material success has been set up . as the model for our citizenry to imitate. It has beet glorified as the chief purpose in life, and whether acquired honestly or dishonestly mattered little as we ayclaimed those who attained it as the great ones of the nation. “But I thank God tonight that whilst the world evolved Jesus Christ has stood still and again j proved He alone is the one anchor ’ to which we cling. And when a ' man before he takes the highest i office in the nation can find time i to cast aside the arrogance of pride I and humbly proclaim in silent prayer his dependence upon God, there is still hope for the nation. We must however do our part by putting forth every effort to promote! true education and thv I means Christian education.'' Bidding good-bye to the gradu-i ates, Father Seimotz, said, “At times it may seem easier to take the broad road through the vallev than the steep and narrow path that breasts the hillside.

When You VOTE Next Tuesday, June 6 Be Guided by the Thought— Nullification or Repeal The American way—the economic thing to do is to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment. America has never been in hearty sympathy with this Amendment. / Leading statesmen, former presidents, warned against the adoption of it. Former Presidents William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson, pointed to the dangers of such a drastic step in American life—prophesying the reign of crime by gangsters, bootleggers and rum-runners which gripped the country for 10 years. Eight states have already voted to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment. The Administration in Washington urges its repeal for economic reasons. If it isn't repealed it will not be enforced, because no government can defy majority public sentiment. New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Delaware, New Jersey, Nevada, Rhode Island and Wyoming voted overwhelmingly for repeal. Let Indiana join the patriotic procession. To VOTE For Repeal of this Amendment - VOTE FOR- - You are voting on the 21st Amendment, which, if adopted, will repeal the 18th Amendment. To cast your vote for repeal, mark an “X” in the first column, above the names of Jacob A. Long and Frank McConnell. Here is a sample copy of the ballot, showing an “X” in the circle FOR RATIFICATION which is a vote for REPEAL: 1/ 1 Do not mark A P bf // in this circle. t * ?// It 0, 1 Write the names | • j || p 1; of candidates I * II 1° \\ below to right / F A\ h V of the / f O’X Jf • For Ratification Against Ratification Written Ticket frank McConnell edison sprunger - □ \ JACOB A.

Efforts at enforcement have caused the deaths of officers and 2,089 citizens. Property estimated to be worth $2,922,622,980 has been kept padlocked more or less of the time, and 62,518 automobiles have been confiscated, presumably as lum runners, boats and launches to the number of 1,502 have been seized for the same reason. This eloquently displays the effect of Prohibition. * , **^ l, *" VOTE PATRIOTICALLY TUESDAY _Advertis«“*
