Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dallies. Japan has built 16S battle ships and 160 sea planes. Evidently they are getting ready for some nation more aggressive than China. If you was looking for some one and couldn’t locate him today, he was doing his part at the big Dairy Day celebration in Huntington. The NRA will be a success or a failure, according to what the people do. If we want a fair deal for every one, now is the time to get it. If we don’t care, then we ought never complain. The Coshocton editor who was missing several days was found in a river nearby and now they are trying to figure whether it was murder of suicide, either of which could happen easy enough. The tax figures you are reading about now, it may be well to remember, if you ate subject to becoming excited, are only estimates. I Several boards must pass on them before they are effective and usually they wield the axe effectively. Huntington was outdoing herself today for Dairy Day. The next one wi 1 probably be held here and it will be up to us to set the pace by making it bigger and better than ever and with this year’s effort at our neighboring city, that’s going to be a big, but delightful task. The Roosevelt administration may not be right in every thing they are doing but they deserve credit for action. They announce a new movement to aid conditions today and within a week or so it is in operation, quite a contrast to what this or any other nation has been used to. John W. Davis says no one should W’ork less than eight hours. Fine, | but what to do when we have more I workers than work? Then the only sensible thing, it seems, is to shorten hours, so it will go around, even ii the days have to be shortened and that’s what is being done. Don’t profiteer. That will spoil every thing. It brought about the depression more than any one thing and the administration proposes to stop it it started. You have a ■ right to a profit of course, but to take advantage of the rise caused i by necessity and boost prices to an I unreasonable extent, is wrong from any point considered. The American bank, which will take over the assets from the Fletcher American of Indianapolis ! opened today, with the government owning one-half the stock. That it will succeed is assured and it means the immediate release of some ten million dollars, which ought to help that community considerably. Os course taxes are going to be higher next year. That was to be expected since we used all the reserves and went to such extremes this year. Just remember that public expenditures like every thing else are governed by the times and the temper of the people. When

you buy, you must pay and when valuations uro reduced, the rates must go up. That has to happen under present conditions. Mr. Hoover does not think he could help the Wayne county grand jury by going to Detroit to testify concerning the bank failures and he is probably correct. Whatever happened there is of record on the books or with the RFC and that it seems would be the best testimony. Whatever Mr. Hoover, as president of the United States knew about it, would be hearsay and his part in any transactions was but advisory. A few months ago this nation was at its lowest ebb ever known and the outlook was very dark indeed. Today we have improved. There are better prices, more jobs, more i activity and the future is brighter I than we thought possible tor short a time. And the program has; just started. Do all the fault find-I ing you want, but just keep in mind that we are around the corner and that next year is going to be one of the good ones. That’s why every one can well afford to join the NRA parade and make good on it. And now it transpires that those cities and counties which borrowed money from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation must start paying it back next year, necessitating tax levies. Os course they must repay the money thus loaned them. It would not be fair to those communities who paid their own way, if that money was not repaid and in due time it will have to come. Those who thought they could get this easy cash and spend it and then forget it are like the fellow who thought he could eat his cake and still have it. Just can't ‘ be done. $2.00 70x80 Part Wool Single Blankets. SI.OO. Sateen bound. A bargain really worth while — The Schafer Store.
