The scale as adopted seems fair and the boys are displaying the NRA signs. Os course you will have to continue to ruu your business. The recovery committee is just laying down a few general rules, which if followed will assist in improving your trade by providing a greater purchasing power for the people. Raising wages or shortening hours does not alone (fill the requirements of tlie NRA. It must be both and with an honest desire to help T.y greater employment. it's up to us to pull out of the depression and we can't do that by any subterfuge. And while you are arranging yotir business for the New Deal, it might be well to include an increased allowance for advertising. That's after all the tonic that will make up whatever overhead you may be adding by bringing an increased volum of business. ‘‘Fight kidnapers by refusing to give ransoms, even if some must die,” is the slogan now being urged by expert criminologists which is fine, except where it comes home. Then we imagine even the advisers would look at it entirely different. Crops look-fair, much better than a fortnight ago and if the prices continue to strengthen, the farmers will be'a little better off than for several years. However, he should continue to have a break for he is the biggest buyer in the country when he has the purchasing power. There is movement in Adams county real esta.e and if you have a desire to own some of this wonderful dirt, better be getting in. Those in the business tell us they are having many inquiries and know of a number of deals now pending. Don't put it off any longer. You have the best opportunities now- you will have in years. Senator Robinson evidently thinks he can fool the ex-service men, but most of them are far to wise to be taaken in by liis wild „ statements. He made a couple of speeches in the senate during the last session but they meant nothing ami got nothing and he had

that all figured out before he made them. Already thousands of ludiana business concerns have aigned the NRA agreements and each day is bringing more as those engaged in various lines aro informed of their respective positions. During the month, the membership will be practically 100% and beginning with Labor Day you will see the New Deal in active operation in this country. Other nations are planning to follow and the world will soon be pulled out of the worst hole it ever permitted itaelf to get yanked into. The county commissioners of Adams. Jay and Wells counties will meet soon, if plans, under way now are carried out, to discuss their position as regards the proposed improvement of the Wabash river and the construction of Limberlost Lake. That they will favor it and add whatever they can to the organization to accomplish the desires of tne promoters, is the belief of those who are planning the meeting. Many benefits are to be derived, not the least of which will be the employment of labor and the settlement of the suit now in the courts regarding improvement of the river. It is just 112 years since the journeymen carpenters of Philadelphia. unable to obtain shorter hours by negotiation, went on strike. They won a great victory by forcing the concession that "in the future a day’s work among U 3 shall be deemed to commence at 6 in the morning and terminate at 6 o’clock in the evening of each day.” The Philadelphia carpenters were the pioneers in the movement for shorter hours in industry. In successive stages the twelve-hour, the ten-hour and the eight-hour day have been achieved by the force of public sentiment, by governmental action and in some notable cases by the voluntary action of employers. " The social implications and problems connected with these changes and others, including the uses to be made of the greatly increased leisure, open up some interesting subjects for speculation. —Philadelphia Public Ledger. Senator Robinson is actively engaged in his campaign for the nomination. He has established headquarters and under the guise of being the champion of the veterans he has arranged for a great “homecoming" in his honor, although he has been home for several weeks. His campaign hs confined to his opposition to the national economy act, which he declares was dictated by Wall street manipulators. This accusation by Robinson is just as wild as the rest of bis tirades. Anybody with good judgment knows that the national administration has not and never hag had the friendship of Wall street. President Roosevelt asked for the economy act in order to save the country financially. Even the leaders of the veterans recognized that necessity. The people of Indiana have their choice between believing Robinson or following the leadership of President Roosevelt. o

Pert Keiton I

to n . A few months ago, this young comedienne couldn’t get a decent job at a studio. Now Samuel Goldwyn and R.K.O. are fighting to see who gets her first. The reason | for the argument is twofold. Pert is a genuine find as a screen actress, and vhe is the news. Rightly

or wrongly, Hollywood has dubbed j her “The girl who stole a picture ( from Constance Bennett.” Now R. K. O. is anxious to give ; her a chance to steal another picture, “Aggie Appleby,” and Samuel , Goldwyn is equally eager to have ( her play the part of Satan in the . Anna Sten picture, “Nana.” Both companies have contracts , with the actress. Unfortunately, . the pictures will start about the j same time. Priority may decide the ' issue. When a footlight attraction pre- 1 mieres on the Coast, you can usually figure that it wasn’t strong 1 enough to achieve production on ‘ Broadway. Such was the case with , a comedy presented here not long ago. It was Leonard Spiegelgass who neatly called the turn when he said 1 at intermission: “Shall we go in before the play comes out and gets ! us?" HOLLYWOOD PARADE: Although Max Baer's reconciliation with his wife put the quietus on rumors of a romance with June Knight, it looks as jf the twovnay meet in Hollywood after all. “Take a Chance,” the Universal-Schwab & Mandell musical for which June

WILL PACE 27 BE BLANK? ♦ *7lave you ever been reading »> good book.,ln which you were tn J tensely interested, when -uUde»ly you came upon a page tliat w “ blurred or blank’ Your chagrin could be easily imagined under those circumstances. You reached the very climax of the story to be greeted only by « > K>r ' fectly blank page. The history of our Decatur I u / lie Library has now reached Its twenly-sevcnth year. Each annual page of that history has been filled with the current literature of the year. .Now we find ourselves looking at page twenty-seven. What do we see? A blank page m far as new hooks and masasnioH for the year are concerned. There are magazine and boo files in our library that have been bound and kept year after year for reference. These files will 1"' broken unless something is done about It. . Can you imagine what ibis will mean to the student, in what is perhaps the greatest of all history making years? Can you imagine how the student will be handicapped when he has an assign ment on some discovery of the current year? .Shall we say to the patrons of the Public Library, “Sorry but this year is a blank so far as the library is concerned?” No, we cannot afford to do it. The Library Board through no fault of its own. finds itself without funds to buy new books and . magazines for the library. To; assist in this matter the Civil Section of the Women's Club has agreed to sponsor a book and j magazine “gift campaign. Will page twenty-seven be! blank? What is YOl'R answer?
