Come again folks, meet your friends and neighbors here. They are now referring to form- 1 er President Toddy Roosevelt as a fifth cousin of Franklin Roose- , velt. t The rain Sunday morning was 1 f great. It come down with a.vengance and certainly was worth a lot. Fields are looking brighter and it s one time we can boast of a green Fourth of July. I Government figures indicate $7 now will buy goods that will cost 1 $8.16 by October 1. The trend is upward and as the value of the dol- ( lar falls, the price of raw products . rise. It’s still a buyer's market. Following custom and the fact 1 that public offices and places of business will he closed Tuesday, the Dally Democrat will not be w w 1 ' published, the force joining those who will observe the Fourth. —. i Our boys don't like onr view on 1 the subject and probably think j 1 we're getting old but we can t get. : much of a thr’ll out of fire crack-1 1 ers. We wish someone would think 11 up some other way to celebrate the nation’s birthday. Governor Paul McNutt is ached- 1 tiled to talk over the radio at six i o’clock Wednesday evening over , station WFBM. He will continue his series of talks on state’s bus- ; iness and will be on the air every Wednesday hereafter. i Tomorrow is the 157th anniver- , sary of American independence. It , is the birthday of the nation and , if our forefathers hadn't taken the , step which lead to the establishing of a new government, the ( United States might have become j a part of Canada, under the c,>n-' trol of England. The state excise director will dis- < tribute another good slice of fees and tax among the counties In the | state, the amount available being, $155,653.92. This will bring the total up to $600,000, obtained since April 7, when the sale of 3.2 beer started in the state. No one has been hurt and the tax was easily collected. • ' Fairness/ whatever is Fair • to our patron* our policy Since start/ W. H. Zwick & Son Mr*. Zwick, Lady Attendant Phones 61 and 303. J. M.

Tax of more than a half million dollars has already been paid on intangibles in Indiana. It is estl- : mated that a quarter of a billion dollars In intangibles have come out of hiding since the new law became effective, •thus lessening the tax burden on property. Ninety percent of the Intangible tax comes back to the counties and is divided in the general and school funds. It means relief to property owners and seems to be growing in popularity. Because Pickfair, the mansion owned by Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks near Hollywood is advertised for sale, it is taken for granted that the two famous movie players are ready to divide marbles and call it quits. The romance of Mary and Doug was the highlight in nioviedom and everyone thought that it was ago for life. Doug is traveling in Europe and Queen Mary, in tears, tells reporters how she regrets the separation. Those folks just can't get along. Among new state board appointments made by Governor McNutt are included several men and women from this section of the state and well known here. Albert Stump, Indianapolis attorney and former candidate for U. S. senator, named a trustee of the state school for the deaf: William O. Nelson, Anderson, state commander of the American Legion, a member of the board of Indiana Reformatory: William R. Barr, Bluffton, member of the board, school for feeble-minded youth. The governor is to be commended for his selections, the appointees being persons of outstanding ability and i ♦ all desirous of rendering efficient ‘ public service. The momentum with which general business has rebounded from i * its all-time low levels of three v months ago doubtless is without parallel in the history of the country. From a position where merchandise could not be moved at c any price, the nation-wide buying wave has gathered such force that an actual shortage of goods now is becoming apparent in some - f] trades, with orders in excess of current production capacities. < Starting with textiles and shoes, b the movement has spread all r through the lighter manufacturing v branches and now is carrying the basic industries into new high „ a ground for the last two years at least. At no time in the past dec- 1 ade has an upward swing been so - sharp or a forward movement so wide in the scope it has attained in such a brief space of time. Definite evidences of gain now are the rule instead of the exception, with the reports this week giving fresh proof that the expansion is reaching all parts of the country in its inclusiveness. — Dun and Bradstreet Review. o Test Your Knowledge I Can you answer seven of these test questions?

Jack Gilbert

quise not only will star for Twentieth Centu r y Pictures next year, but has agreed to make an extra film for R-K-0 in her spare time. This deal, which rates as a surprise, was reached between Connie and Merian C. Cooper even before she began the last picture under her old contract at R-K.O.

It’s pretty well settled, incidentally, that Gilbert Roland will play opposite the star in this film. Since he already is coaching Connie in tennis and escorting her around Hollywood, they’ll be spending much of their time together. There’s a story going around—you can believe it or not—that the beauteous Bennett has refused to allow the hero of her new picture, a spy story, to be a German officer. She hates those Prussian haircuts, they’ll tell you—says they destroy a man’s romantic appeal. HOLLYWOOD PARADE. If you can believe what you hear, that stag yachting trip of Gary Cooper marks the end of a prolonged romantic episode. Salute to Roscoe Arbuckle. A gifted comedian who had more than his share of misfortunes. Strange how death has shattered that group of cronies who used to hold gay revels at the old Vernon Country Club and the Sunset Inn. First it was Ward Crane, then Jack Pickford, now Roscoe. A salute plso to Minta Durfee | the bride of Roscoe's youth, who stood by him so valiantly during the

dark days of his trial and who, these many years later, was bowed down with genuine grief at the news of his passing. Always unexplainable are the epidemic of death rumors that follow a tragedy involving a Hollywood celebrity. While the newsboys were crying the headlines about Arbuckle, the town suddenly vibrated with whispers that Jack Gilbert had dropped dead. A quick telephone call killed the rumor. Laughingly, Jack said to me: “If I breathe on a glass and you get fog, don’t let them bury me.” Still it must be unsettling to a man to have such an experience. Actually, Jack has been suffering

•for several days from an infected arm. He still is keen to direct and is enthusiastic about approaching par-ent-hood. Virginia Bruce goes to the hospital in about six weeks, you know. It’s up to me to square myself. I printed that Lupc Velez had threatened to

It was a romance “too perfect" to last, Mary's and Doug's many friends believe. It began in the days when they traveled up and down the country with Charlie Chaplin, urging America to buy Liberty bonds. Mary at that time was the wife of Owen Moore, the actor. Fairbanks was married to Beth Sully, daughter of the cotton king. They were divorced soon after I the war and married secretly March 28, 1920. Until Fairbanks joined the Masonic lodge, six years later, when he was required to spend the dinner hour at the lodge woms, they were never separated at the evening meal. For almost ten years they were never apart for a single night. During that time neither would dance with any other person, j They were so devoted that both I abolished “location trips" while , making pictures because it would , mean being apart for days or weeks. o UNITED STATES SEEKS PLAN OF LASTING VALUE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) budgets.
