Better enjoy this nice warm weather while you can for soon you will be wishing you could go some where and find a climate just like we are having now. The way Senator Arthur Robinson is boosting Alaska mikes us wonder if he is hoping to carry that territory next year. It might be better politics if he will do a, little boosting for Indiana. Richard Leiber. who resigned as | he>d of the Indiana park system, rather mysteriously last week, is now the head of a new brewery in Indianapolis, which perhaps gives all the explanation to the public that is necessary. Alabama and Arkansas, for years known as dryest of dry states, nave joined those in favor of the repeal of the eighteenth amendment, making it exactly half enough for writing the act off the constitution. Tennessee and Oregon are the next on the list. Governor McNutt celebrated his 42nd birthday yesterday by starting on a trip to Sacramento, Cal., to attend a governor's conference. H ■ is giving every ounce of energy and effort to the problems of state and will come through with an excellent record of achievements. The crops are looking thirsty eg in and a few good showers would mean a million or two dollars to the farmers of Adam i county. Corn and beets look 'good for the chance they have had but there can he no denial that a twenty-four hour rain, slow and easy, would help a hundred per cent. Governor McNutt and many other leaders of the state and nation will attend the Dairy Diy exerc'ses at Huntington. August 21th. The show as planned, now will ,e the largest and most interesting of its kind ever held in the state. The Cloverleaf Creameries are famed for doing things right when they start to do them and this, we assure you, will be no exception. There is nothing more important th n a good supply of fine drinking water and this city has for years been fortunate in that. There has been no shortage even during this dry season, but to keep on the : afe side .Mayor Krick and his council are looking for locations for two new wells which if as good as For emergency or any other worthy purpose.

those now operated by the city should add much to the reserve next year. ' The county commissioners have not only built a number of miles of road this year but have kept the roads already constructed in good conditions and have just completed the oiling of the highways in front of every church in the county, showing proper interest and a desire to give the people the most for their money. Ralph Roop, county engineer is in charge of the work. Foster Lewis of Evansville is getting a lot of publicity and will continue to do so until his case is settled. He found a red bird with a broken leg. took it in and nursed it back to health. A game warden arrested him for harboring a wild bird and has turned the matter over to a Federal grand jury. We don't believe a jury or a court will punish him very severely for his humane act and his bluff to leave the country if found guilty sounds like a lot of hot air. Corn, wheat and oats slipped considerably yesterday but that doesn't alarm any one. Prices were going up so rapidly that many feared would reach a dangerous point. Nothing can be worse for the country than another wild spree of prices such as we had in '2S and '29. What we should have is a sound, reasonable price for farm products, that will permit the farmer to earn a profit under normal conditions. To go beyond that is only to lay the trap for a bad time later. We are sorry that Decatur cannot be included to any large extent in the improvements to be made by the state highway commission, under approval of the Federal road department, but it is needless to say that if the improvement means the destruction of the beautiful shade trees, few would favor it. However, there is something to think about in the result of this decision. We have two U. S. highways through this city and it is quite probable that to retain them, we will have to meet certain specifications. including wider right-of-ways and stieets. At this time they are requiring 36% feet through the towns and cities. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the Test Questions Printed an Page Two. ♦ ♦ 1. Rudyard Kipling. 2.

Wheat Production Control

(Editor's note: Following is an article discussing the run sons for the production control plan of wheat. Further articles explaining the plan and methods of starting it will be published at later dates. These articles are furnished through the local county agetß's office). In 1816 the United States embarked on a protective tariff policy. Ever since that lime this tariff lias been raised and broadened. | i During- that period this country lias developed a high standard of living, has enjoyed high industrial development, and agriculture has kept pace with both these movements. During this period agriculture lias passed through two distinct I phases of development itnd is now 'entering into a third and new stage. , The first stage was the pioneer j stage during which our forefathers, settled and developed Indiana and the rest of the Northwest Terri- 1 tory. The second stage was the development west of the Mississippi and this movement was accelerated by the development of expensive machinery, such as the binder, corn busker, and lastly the combine. This second phase was concurrent with the development! of our transportation system. These huge enterprises were financed I largely by European capital and | we paid our interest and pripcipal payments with food. The third, phase has developed during and' since the war. We no longer owe; Europe huge sums of money but ■ on the contrary they are in debt to I us. and since we can not take their goods in payment, it seems that in all lines of industry and agriculture that we are entering a period of planned economy. This new venture in agriculture is an attempt to give a surplus producing country a protection that a tariff does not give. The reason that wheat is selected is that it is one of the standard commodities of world trade. Any social, econ-; oniic. or political disturbance in any world power affects wheat. In the crash the drop in wheat prices was ahead of the stock market crash and was concurrent with the application of high tariffs in Europe. Wheat declined from sl.lO in 1929 to 35c in 1932, and the drop 1 was greater than for any other I standard product. The great wheat producing conn-1 tries, the United States. Argentina.: Australia and Canada, have huge I surpluses that they are attempting 1

to sell; all have huge debts Obeymust pay except the United States, al! Increased acreage during the war, and all underwent a revolution in farm practices Ibat lowered production costs. The large importing wheat countries, England. Italy. France, and Germany, owe us huge sums of money, and they have tried hard to get on a self-suatalnlng basis as rapidly as they could. They do not need or want our wheat. The goal of the administration is ito set a price on the domestically consumed wheat that will enable, our farmers to buy* goods and pa) | debts that were contracted at higher levels. The plan is wholly voluntary, but to get the assurance of a fair price for wheat, a farmer must sign up on the two-year plan. The task of bringing the Information to the farmers has been I assigned to the agricultural exi tension workers. They will try to i accomplish this through meetings in the various communities, newspaper stories, and by mail. The plans for the local organization set-up will be explained in another story in the near future. Q EXTENDS SALE TO ROADHOUSES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I hibited. Seating capacity of out-1 I side tables must be counted when l 1 applying for licenses, he added. Discussing effects of the beer i law, Fry said he 'believed it had j eliminated considerable bootlegging and that all home brew places eventually would be put out of business. “I have had many former bootleggers ask for licenses,” he con-1 tinned. "They have all expressed i a desire to enter the business legitimately by selling 3.2 beer exclusively.” Fry said he expected that the alcoholic content of beer would be increased to at least 5 per cent if' | the 18th amendment is repealed.
