America's belief and confidence' in government is maintained in its freedom of the press. It used to be that public officials were Counted famous if they possessed the gift of oratory. Now its action and fewer words. These are times worth living. Full of interest, something new and no time to quit or lay down on the job. This whole recovery program an be summed in a few words.. You do your part, create employ-; ment the best you c n and the momentum will keep things going.; I .oral merchants are preparing! to help entertain visitors here on ' August 17, 18, and 19, the dates for the big county 4-H club fair and Gold medal colt show. Several features are being planned in the up town district, concluding with an extra attraction on Saturday. Watch for it. The annual county teachers' institute will open in this city, Mon-' day. August 28. An interesting and instructive three-day program has been arranged by Superintendent C. E. Striker, including or- i panization meetings with the high school and elementary school teachers. Soon the vacation period will be over ar-i Johnny and Mary will be treking Hack to school —and we are not going to say to the little red school house. POLITICAL POISON: • Senator Art Robinson, speaking from the World war memorial ■ shrine in Indianapolis, told his audience that the government was doing everything wrong and that it had no business to reduce veterans’ benefits. The senator is probably planning a campaign of prejudice, endeavoring to create a fol owing some way or the other, regardless of patriotism and the fact that everyone should be loyal during these pressing times. A PRESIDENT FAILS: Riots broke out in Havana yesterday and federal tsoops turned *- their guns on the crowds. Many were killed and scores were woundJ ed. A demand for resignation of ~ President Gerardo Machado has been made and it appears that the ' executive has lost hold and eventually will have to get out. His regime has been unpopular and his inability to prevent bloodshed and killings is proof that something is wrong. CHANCE FOR GOOD DEED: If you drive along the country roads you'll come to a corner where the view is obstructed by corn stalks. Someone might be coming from the other direction and not seeing him a collision is liable to take place. The county commissioners appeal to farm owners to cut down the corn, clearing the corner and thus eliminate the traf-

flc hazard. Any cooperation shown will be greatly appreciated, not only by the commissioners aud the highway department!, but the public in general. It’* doing a good turn and might save a life. A NIGHT SESSION: A night session of the county commissioners will he held Saturday so that the members can devote a few hours to serious consideration of the budget for next year. The commissioners will meet with County Attorney Henry B. Heller and go o'er the estimates made up by county officials and departments and also list those which come under their jurisdiction. Every effort will be made to keep down the county's tax levy, but in view of several additional appropriations which must be made, and the lower property valuation, it is likely that the general rate may be boosted a few centst. The commissioners are going to tackle the problem in a business way and no doubt will work it out to the best interests of the community. | THE NEWSPAPER CODE: A code applying to newspaper publishers has been submitted to tlie government and in all probability will be approved by President Roosevelt and General Johnson this week. It permits the employing of boys under 16 years of age in the delivery of papers, does not attempt to license newspapers or encroach on the Constitutional rights of freedom of the press and provides for maximum working hours in the mechanical departments. Publishers generally will ' gladly comply with the code and in : a patriotic and business like mani ner put their plants in order, employ what additional men it takes Ito assure the daily and timely pubi lishing of the paper and in every j way cooperate with the governi ment in one of the greatest recovery programs ever undertaken in history. FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT: The’ cohnty commissioners from Adams, Wells and Jay counties will cooperate in supporting the effort of Mrs. Virginia Jenckes, i Indiana congresswoman from Terre i Haute to have the Wabash river dredging included in the federal river flood control program. A meeting of the commissioners and others interested will be held at Geneva Thursday night and steps will be taken to furnish the Congresswoman with details and information concerning the proposed dredging of the river in this county. The including of an impounding basin for flood waters, which would create an artificial lake in what is known as the Lob, near Geneva, is deserving of every effort and if the state and federal governments can be interested in the project it will mean great things for this section of the state. GENERAL HUGH S. JOHNSON SPEAKING: “To put it in a nut shell: Men must earn before stocks can earn. That is as sound in economics as it Ls in human ethics. It is not a slogan. It is a business truth. Upon that truth the President's reemployment program is based. “Impressive figures of w’hat this plan may cost some companies have been batted qbout. They all speak in terms of costs per year. If this plan goes to its seemingly assured success those figures are worthless. “We shall either succeed or fail in three months' time. If we fail, the loss to those companies will be many times their exaggerated estimate of what the plan will cost. If we succeed, the estimate means nothing. It is a fruitless, futile argument. “This country has nailed its colors to the mast. What we need is less talk and more action. What we need is fewer calamity howlers and more Mayor Millers and Grover Whalens in *the local communities. What we need is a little faith in ourselves, and more, and more, and more blue eagles.” 1

I ♦ Dear Editor: 1 am writing you so that your readers may understand what we are driving at in the Wabash flood control problem and the Limberloat Park and lake ; project. Tlie sum of $18,000,006 Is asked of the government to be made available for the Wabash and White river flood control. This money has not as yet been allocated to the State of Indiana. A mighty effort is being made to have that done, Viowever. There is danger of failure. Now, Adams. Jay and Wells counties are vitally interested. Ad-1 ams and Jay have already the bur-1 den of the local Wabash drainage I

loaded on them Well, county will find that if tI»U kic.l drainage U constructed that it would only add to her river overflow. If the government can be induced to take this over it means relief for Adams. Jay, Wells and Huntington counties’ without preteranco. Il means a big thing to taxpayers and un employed alike. The Limberlost park proposition i has the support of .the State ConNervation Department. It appears that to build a lake as a reservoir to Impound flood waters Is an engineering necessity. All tills will never be done with out action upon the part of our j people Things don't Just happen. Please understand no one knows very much aliout this. We simply have to commence somewhere and this meeting scheduled for Thursday night at Geneva is a starter. Whether anything comes out of all this is uncertain but it will do no harm to try.
