If the Recovery program is a success and it s going to be —getting men to work, tn ly be tiie problem in another year. Autumn business will be the best in several years for those who advertise their goods and deliver what they promise as all Decatur merchants do. Missouri voted wet but. didn’t surprise any one for that was the prediction before hand. That .

makes twenty-two and leaves but fourteen more state votes necessary to repeal the eighteenth amendment. Even where there are gates or lights at a railroad crossing, its a good thing to make it a rule to stop, look and listen. It doesn't lose you much time and may avert a terrible tragedy like that which happened in Fort Wayne. Every housewife can help the general economic conditions by signing one of the consumer's statement of cooperation cards. If you haven't one, get it at the local postoffice. To make the NRA go over to best advantage, every one must join. It’s a war against depression and requires war measures. Be careful over the week ends Is still as good advice as ever. Due to the fact that traffic is greater those days than others of the week, the list of casualties seems to increase as more and more cars fill the roads. Over the last Sunday there were hundreds of accidents, many of them serious through this part, of the country. Causes are many but usually its due to not using as much precaution as possible. Line your car up on the east side of Second street Thursday morning and join the big parade to Huntington, where Dairy Day will be held, with a program of great interest and thousands of features that will please you. It is expected that hundreds of cars from east and south of here will join the Adams county delegation and the ar-1 rival at the "Lime City” will mark the beginning of the big show. The NRA is going over. Os that there is no longer doubt in the rniuds of the greatest executives in the country and each day the codes are beipg duly executed and signed. It's here to stay and those who d) not plan for it are just losing time. Something had to be done and the only way it seems to bring back good times is to employ more, people, hold the wages as high as possible, pay tjie farmer more for his produce, work less hours and then keep the old ball rolling by giving fair competition. Meredith Nicholson, famous Indiana author and a Democrat who works at ik, has been appointed envoy to Paraguay, the selection

pleasing thousands ■: Hoosiers ub j admire this man of letters. The experience will be worth while and . he will find plenty of incidents to! furnish materia! for the best novel. of the year. He will, however, prove an efficient public servant. | qualified to take care of any thing I that may arise, that may be termset hnsM.ese of the United States. Present receipts from the, newstate gross income tax collections > indicate that the tax will meet the expectations of its authors. The i amount received to date is slightly i short of two million dollars for the , first two months the law has been I in operation and it was originally estimated that the annual income from this source would be around twelve millions of dollars. Cover-, nor McNutt has repeatedly stated that the majority of the revenue from the gross income tax will go to keep the Indiana system of education on the high standard it has attained and to improve that standard. The more one studies the tax situation in Indiana the more it is I realized why the gross income tax was necessary. Those who were I obligated and did make payment , on their incomes for the first two I months of the law have found that j it works no hardship on them., They were pleasantly surprised at | the great reduction in their prop-1 erty taxes at the payment of the I spring installment and they have l awakened to the realization that lower property taxes can be continued only through a system of | supplemental taxation. There is 1 every reason to believe that the ' revenue from the gross income tax ■ will exceed expectations. If it I does, so much the better, for that. only means further reductions in 1 property taxes and the soundness ■ of the state’s financial standing ! More than twice the number of re-1 turns have been filed than were 1 expected. Many not required te' pay the first two months will report at the close of the year and ! they will add their share to meet-' i ing the financial emergency of the , state. Given time to show its merits the gross income tax will I become one of thte most popular I 1 acts of the administration. That is saying a lot for any tax law, but this one is so fair in that it reaches everybody that there is no question , of i-hat the people will think of it 1 l ' as It proves its effectiveness.

COMPARISON SHOWS VALUE Comparison Os Cows Shows Value of High Producing Cows A comparison of the ten high and ten low cows in the Adams County Dairy Herd Improvement I Association for the year 1931 1932 sliows very clearly the value of high producing cows during period* of low prices, according to G. A. Williams, of the Purdue University dairy-extension department. The ten high cows averaged 12.759 pounds of milk and 604.5, pounds of butterfat, while the low group averaged only 5.024 pounds of milk and 210 pounds of butterfat. The yearly feed cost was $44 35 for the high ten, and $38.32 per cow for the low ten. only $6.03 less tlian for the good cows. Feed cost Is the largest single item connected with the production of milk. Each 100 pounds of

milk produced by the good cows cost 35 cents while the ten lowcows consumed 76 cents Worth of feed lor the same amount of milk. This represents a difference of 4! cents on each 100 pounds of milk produced, which Is a large margin at any time, hut •especially so I when prices are low. The economy of the good cow can be shown in another way. The best cow in the Msodation produced 701 pounds of butterfat. | At 19 cents per pound the Income' over feed cost which she returned I I her owner amounted to $95.02. I Using the same price for butter-1 ! fat, the average income over cost I of feed for the ten poor cows amounted to $1.58 per head. It would have required 60 cows, therefore, equal to the average of the low ten, to return as much income over feed cost as the best i cow in the association. She placed a little over 14,309 founds of milk on the market while the 60 cows would l/ive poured 301,440 pounds | of milk into the channels of trade to be disposed of in some way. In addition to tills, the feed consumed by the one cow was $38.50 for . the year while it would have re-; quired $2,299.20 worth of feed to maintain the 60 head _f or 12
