If you do, they won’t go to seed and the city street force won't have to bother about getting the job done for you. The wheat crop in Indiana is off this year more than a million bushels, which will save a lot of difficulty in working out the allotment plan. Nature seems to be working with the administration. There ought to be fair trade and honest competition in business and if the new recovery act brings that about, it will prove a boon to business. And it is the opinion of the ■ greatest experts in the country that will happen. Another boost in the gasoline prices to meet the additional onehalf cent tax. imposed by the recent congress. That makes it rather stiff but what matters a half cent on a gallon of gas for those who desire to ramble in the old car? Vice-President and Mrs. Jack Garner stopped at Indianapolis on their way home to Texas. The Vice-President is smart. He declined to talk about any thing but fish-; ing and hunting, two sports which he proposes to enjoy to the limit; the next several months. ’ The Public Service Commission I of Indiana has ordered a reduction in rates in fourteen communities served by the Indiana Service Corporation. Included on the list are Preble, Peterson. Pleasant Mills. Bobo and Linn Grove in this county and that wili help patrons consider- ‘ ably. Dr. Harry Stack Sullivan, noted psychiatrist, who concerns himself with the American mass mind says goofiness is on the wane in this country and substantiates it by the fact that tree and flag pole sitters, jig-saw puzzles and other crazes have passed out and no new fad has taken their places. What about the nudists, doctor? It need not surprise you if the next congress works out a plan for taxing manufacturing at the source and doing away with all the income, excise, sales and other forms now used by the government and hlalv.w rtlfd lilai.y uv'lvVu that will be the very best answer to the age old problem. It has been a long time since as much improvement was going on in Decatur and vicinity as this year and that's wise. The low prices of labor and material make it possaw:!

ible and those who attend to these things now will find they have saved money w’heti compared to a 1 year from uow. i. Congressman Farley, anxious to serve the people of the fourth district, will open offices in the fed- ' eral building at Fort Wayne this t week, where he will be glad to I meet those from over the district J who desire to confer with him conJ cerning those matters concerning > 5 thte government. 1 j lowa will vote on the wet and 1 dry issue tomorrow and both sides, after a strenuous finish are claiming a victory. So far eleven states have voted for repeal and if lowa does not. it will be the first. Those opposed to repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, however, declare that ' they were not surprised in any state excepting Indiana. - We still have the underworld • problem it seems. Bank hold-ups ' are frequent, kidnapping of wealthy ’ I folks or their children continue, ! desperate characters are committ- .' ing varied crimes in the west and khe news is filled with searing j crime. That may be some thing ! 1 ; else for the next session of con-* gress to work out since they have j about solved other worries. Indiana can spend $88,000,000 as j its share of the arrangements I made by Uncle. Sam to beat dei pression and will probably use half i that amount or more. Ten million dollars will be expended on the I roads and that will put thousands of men to work besides providing I improvements that will be 'appre-1 ciated. Several river improve-1 ments, reforestation and other construction will quickly correct the ; unemployment which has brought so much unhappiness tne past sevi eral years. Soon every man who I ) I wants work will be busy. Plans are practically complete for the Northern Indiana regional 1 meeting of the American Legion to be held here next Sunday, j Among the speakers will be ex- ! Governor Brucker of Michigan, a ■ Legion leader, a speaker of note J and an outstanding statesman.. He | i and Mrs. Brucker will be accom- j I panied here by Mr. and Mrs. C. L. ' i Avers of Detroit. Mr. Ayers, a i i former Adams county man, playied a prominent part in Gover- : nor Brucker's administration.

ney Carton in “A Tale of Two Cities.” Well, it’s al! settled now. Warner Baxter gets the nod. This was the week - end decilicrn of the Fox bosses, along with the fact that the picture will be made at

the Westwood Studios, giving cm- , ployment to thousands of Hollywood extras, rather than in Eng- | land as rumor had indicated. Baxter’s selection for the Dickens j hero gives him one of the acting , , plums of the year. It was as Sid- , ney carton, back m tar?, that W H- , liam Farnum made his big film hit. ' The new production will be one ■ of the most elaborate on the Fox schedule. Studio officials are planning to surrqund Baxter with a cast on a par with that of "State Fair.” Not since “Cavalcade” has there been a film calling for so many extras. According to present plans, the cameras will start grinding in September. No director is set as yet. but who better than Frank Lloyd? Since signing that three-year contract .with Paramount, W. C. Fields has fought himself a long, I shiny motor The other day a friend of the l comedian was marveling at its size. “Yes,” said Fields whimsically, "I’ve already discovered two stowl away* and any minute I expect to ; catch some guy riding the rods.” HOLLYWOOD PARADE. Those boos that Parisians gave Maurice Chevalier for speaking English in a recent film are having their effect. Paramount has decided to make a French version of the star’s new vehicle, “The Way to Love.” As Sylvia Sidney doesn't speak the language well enough to i repeat her rote, Jacqueline FranI ceile is on her way here from Paris. I They’re even importing a French lyric-writer, _

The options would be sold farmers at a price of six cents per pound. The theory is that reduced production will send | cotton prices upward and the producer who accepts the option will i profit by the rise. 2— A cash benefit without the cotton option, the amount of such benefit on a per acre basis to range from $7 for land yielding from 100 to 124 pounds per acre j Ito S2O for land producing 2751 pounds or more per acre.
