I ’ NRA signs are going up over tho country and it will soon be rather unpopular to not display oue. This is as important a public service as . any you have ever rendered. ( Be sure to hunt up a few books, i or one if that's all you can spare, or perhaps you can give a dollar or two for new books. The library f committee will appreciate a gift f that will help them till the shelves this year when the appropriations f do not permit the purchase of new 1 voiums therefrom. c Decatur merchants will cooper- ‘ ate to make the 4-H gold medal colt club show the best ever. It will * be held at Bellmont Park August! l 17th and will attract hundreds 1 from over the county. Interest is | 1 growing in these 4-H clubs and will j' continue during the next several ' years. Plan to attend and to assist 1 in any way you can. The General Electric consumed ! more power this month than in any i month since February of 1930 and < thats a good sign for when they i use power they employ help, the . city benefits through the use of < electricity and every one is aided . by the greater purchasing power : thus afforded. YY'e are coming through. Keep smiling. ! Under the new plan Adams coun- , ty wheat growers will benefit to the extent of $11,739 this year and thats not to be sneezed at in these days when every little bit helps so . much. If you are a wheat grower don't fail to attend the meetings being held by County Agent Archbold. Inform yourself as to the plan, how it works and how it at-. sects you. This is an actual effort j to help the farmer and he should ' show his interest. The plan for improving the Wabash river and building a lake which can be fed and will assist in regulating the river during flood times, is sound and with the support now indicated, there is an excellent chance that it will be done.! Boosters from Portland, Bluffton, Decatur, Berne, Geneva and other places are becoming enthusiastic and will do every thing they can to aid Mrs. Jenckes, congresswoman, who is pushing the federal assistance part of the program and those in the state who have signi—TT WW« our |apaciti| Js erenjrowin<l T 4' Individual 'attention ’**■ its alwaqs W.

fled a willingness to help Don’t let tills proposition get cold. It means a lot of employment and a permanent improvement that will last id ways for this part of the state. Paul Fry, state excise director can only support the laws of Indiana and he is right in refusing to permit draught beer until he lias authority to do so. It was argued that beer would do away with the spirit so prevalent in recent years of paying no attention to law and surely It cannot be expected that executive officers should now wink their eyes. If the law is wrong, change it, but we do not believe there should be general support of any action lending to destroy government. Hundreds of thousand of men have returned to work as a result of the lirst three days of the recovery campaign and within a month it will be millions. Support the President, even i| it does seem impossible in your particular case. Employ more people, pay as good wages as you can ami comply witii the general order until the code which tits your business is adopted. Its for the general good and its important for if we fail in this we will perhaps return to worse days than we have had the past four years. Few will be able to meet the requirements of the recovery program without getting right down to brass tacks and doing what the government is requesting without doing what is asked. That means employment of more people without any more injury to those who are working now than is necessary". There will of course have to he some adjustments to meet particular cases and these will be made. When its all over and everything is going good, we will really have started to travel on prosperity road. And that will be something. The Adams County Memorial hospital of this city is ten years old and looking over the record established by- that splendid institution we wonder how we did without it as long as we did. YY'ell operated and managed, it has proven a great boon to almost every family and we offer our congratulations to the board of trustees, to Miss Christ, to the nurses and doctors and all others who hav*; assisted in making the local hospital one of the best in the middle west. We hear only compliments for this institution and to merit that after a decade is proof of making good. During the period, more than six thousand patients have been given treatment at the hospital and 562 babies have made their appearance [ there. 0 * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File ♦ Large barn of C. .

TWO ARRESTED FOR KIDNAPING WEALTHY MAN — j (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I awoke he was in an apartment which he thought was in New York City. A statement was circulated among newspapermen that he had been released on East 220tii street, of the Bronx, New York City. Other reports said he had been held in Albany and released here. Observers pointed out that something other than a blow would be necessary to keep O'Connell unconscious during a trip from Albany to New York. O'Connell's release effected through Manny Strewell, well known in Albffiiy sporting circles, who was one of the many inter-1 mediaries named by the O'Connells at the request ot the kidnapers. Daniel turned the ransom moneyover to Strewell Friday and Friday j night Strewell delivered the $40,000 in five, ten and SIOO bills, all 1 carefully marked with serial minij hers recorded, to the kidnapers. ; Early Saturday came word that ■ the kidnapers would kill their vie-, Him and drop his body on "your doorstep" if they were not given the opportunity to exchange the marked money for money that couldn't be identified. The ransom was then delivered to a Manhattan bank, it was said, and an hour later the kidnapers received fresh money, it was not known if by some ruse authorities j managed to mark the second batch, i The kidnapers originally demanded $250,000 ransom. After Walter McGee was sentenced in Kansas City to hang for the kidnaping of Miss Mary McElroy, the kidnapers seemed especially eager to get the ransom and i release their captive. o STATE POLICE TO OPEN DRIVE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) late last week. Paul P. Fry, state j excise director, threatened to call j lout the national guard and state I police to stop draught beer sales ! but later announced he was power- j less to enforce the beer law. "Obviously, draught beer is being obtained illegally from Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio breweries," Feeney said. "As un-! taxed beer, it is illegal and therefore subject to confiscation." Since he doesn't drink, Feeney j doesn't intend to visit any draught | beer places to obtain direct evi- J dence. He will confer with thej police chief at Fort Wayne. A “watch and waint" attitude i was taken today by Terre Haute, I Evansville and South Bend deal- j ers, anxious to sell draught beer at ! the slightest indication that they | would not be arrested, in Indian-1 apolis, the word was out that po- i lice backed the state administration's view that draught beer is illegal. Leaving here this afternoon Feeney will go to Huntington to visit officials of a farm paper to I discuss chicken thieving. He will I go to Fort Wayne from th.?re. ! On his trip he also will look over prospective sites for the proposed ! police radio station and barracks, j He will study them in Huntington, Fort Wayne afid Auburn where he will confer with the sheriff. o Get the Habit — Trade at Home

A posse was organized quickly and j surrounding the Hinkley home, to which the fugitive had returned. First demands that Hinkley surrender were met with gunfire from the convict. None of the posse was hit, however. As darkness fell the poasd lighted highway flares and placed them around the house. Hinkley reached through a window, grabbed one of the flares and set fire to a pile of boxes in the basement. The fire department was called and extinguished the blaze by pouring huge streams of water through the basement windows. The sheriff’s posse then tossed tear gas bombs into tho basement all the time keeping up a steady fire with shotguns. Hi.tkley still continued to return the gunfire, however. Fire from the barricade ceased finally at about 10 o'clock last night and possenien entered *the bullet-riddled' house to find Hinkley dead with the charges from two shotguns in his head.
