The Hoosier commonwealth i . also is eagerly surveying its corn hujiing prospects. County contests will be held shortly and the , state championship will be de-1 , teraained the first week in Novem-h bcr. The winner of the Hoosier I , cron naturally will be entitled to , great honor, although the state is ( looking beyond that event to the , national contest. , Indiana has not fared so well in ( the national sweepstakes and the . public believes that something should be done about it. Huskers of championship caliber can not be , developed overnight, a process as | difficult as producing an all-Amer- , icam gridiron star. It is apparent , to most Hoosiers, however, that the state which produces the finest , corn in the world should match that prowess by finding the country's best huskcr. The corn dynasty has been firmly established in Shelby, Bartholomew and nearbycounties and it seems nothing less than lese majesty for some farmer from Illinois or Missouri to walk off with the national husking title. The Indiana championship will be*determined on a farm in Wells county. There is plenty of good corn to be husked elsewhere, but the contest sponsors had difficulty finding a field large enough to accommodate the crowd of 20.000 to 30,000 expected. A state husking event these days will rival some of the major football games in attracting a crowd of enthusiastic rooters. There will be bands, flags and plenty of general excitement, in-addition to uelicious farm-cook-ed- food. Whoever wins the title should realize that the state looks to—him to restore Indiana's husking prestige among competing commonwealths in the great corn belt. —lndianapolis Star. BYRD'S EXPEDITION: Although, as President Roosevelt sajs, 12 branches of science wifi be served, the public will be interested in the forthcoming second expedition of Rear Admiral Byrd to the South Pole as a great adventure. The non-scientific will follow the hardships, read about the hazards and the narrow escapes with all the avidity of the romantic mind, giving to the scientific discoveries only passing notice. Nor would the noted explorer and flyer have it otherwise. He says he would make the trip just | for the adventure and that probably is his main reason for going. It is as an adventurer that the masses are interested in him. The world seldom makes popular heroes out of scientists. And yet the expedition may make contributions to our fund of scientific knowledge which will make life easier, happier and safer for all of us. It will be equipped to solve some of the mysteries of meteorology and may learn something new about cosmic rays and radio interferences. Polar exploration has ceased to he the reckless adventure it was before the airplane conquered the ice floes and before the radio made

It possible to wander far beyond the frontiers of civilization and yet remain in touch with the very heart of civilization. It seemed a i m6ch more dangerous feat when It meant being out of touch with tbs world for months far beyond the reach of help. Os course taxes aren't as low as we would like to have them. Even this year with rates lowest in history. many think that they should be still lower. The policy followed here this year will mean that next year, substantial cuts can he made in several of the township, county and school funds. State revenue from the various taxes will probably increase, deficits in the road bond and poor funds will be wiped out and the county will have a working balance. It will be tough to pay the higher rates, but if an average for the two years Is taken, the amount will not seem so big. In Decatur with a $1.95 rate this year and $3.15 next, the average would be $2.55, which is not a bad I rate, considering that taxable valuations have dropped from a third to a half of their former value. It might be the wrong time to suggest it. but a local citizen made mention that new steps should be be placed in front of the court house. The present steps are worn dovln and narrow and many times during the winter months become treacherous footings, due to the ice which forms there. It was suggested that wider steps, with about a six-inch space be erected. Hundreds of telegrams were sent by Decatur and Adams County people to Congresswoman Virginia Jenckes, pledging support in her efforts to have the federal government begin the Wabash river flood control project 'n this county. The people of this county will work and do whatever is possible, especially when a couple hundred thous-1 and dollars can be saved locally. Covering these tax board sessions, compiling rates and writing several columns on the subject, is almost becoming as big a job in a newspaper office as getting out an election night extra. Cool breezes, which should remind you that the furnace might need a little touching up and that I you better pick up the shovel and get ready for a six months job. Hog prices are going up. reaching the five-cent point yesterday. Farmers say that is the surest proof conditions will be better. When we pay all bills and have cash in the bank we can begin to cut tax rates and try to keep them on an even keel.

TROOPS GUARD GERMAN COURT Five Men On Trial In Germany For Burning Reichstag Building Leipzig. Germany. Sept. 21. —(U.R) —Five men, four known commun-' ists, went on trial for their lives I today on the charge that they j burned the German reichstag building in Berlin. Communism was a sixth defendI ant, destined above all to make, of the trial a page in German history. Because of reports that commun-, ists planned to attend the trial and try to foment disorders — perhaps to try to burn the court itself — . the grim supreme court building ■ was guarded by police and Nazzi' storm troopers in uniform and civilian clothes. Admission was by card only, the 1 cards bearing the holders' photographs. These cards were minutely inspected by guards for fear, so' the Nazis said, that communists would present forged credentials. In testimony of the interest in the trial, 122 newspaper men, half ‘ foreign, were card holders and 50 more were unable to rfbtain ad mission. Leipzig townsfolk were apathetic I and apparently little interested. The defendants charged with burning the parliament building on the night of February 27, were: Ernest Torgler, 40. one time communist whip in the. reichstag. Marinus Van Der Lubbe. 24, a Dutch stone mason. George Dlmitroff, 51, a writer. Wassil Taneff, 36. a shoemaker. Blagoi Popoffif, 31, a student. Van Der Lubbe, it was charged, was caught running from the reichstag building when the fire started, and was said to have confessed. The anti-Nazi forces throughout Europe watching the trial with cynical scorn contended that —as charged in the mock trial by an international commission of lawyi ers at London — Van Der Lubbe

was an eccentric, formerly of communistic tendencies but for the last two years an open pro-Nazi. The trial was expected to last < for weeks. ( Thirty-five volumes of evidence i was ready for presentation. In ad- i dition the prosecution asked Ro- i main Rolland, of France, and George Brant ing. of Sweden, to! submit evidence —tending to prove ' that Nazis themselves conspired 1 to burn the building, perhaps using the Dutchman Van Der Lubbe as | a tool, in order to discredit communists and thereby win the power I which they hold today. The prosecution had summoned j 110 witnesses and experts. o Attended Fair For 77 Years West Tisburg, Mass.— (U.R) —i Matthew Mayhew, 87, and his 86-year-old brother.

BENEFITS OF THE NEW DEAL

(Editor's not*—This is the fifth and last of a series of articles by Representative Ludlow on “Benefits of the New Deal."). I feel that I should not close this series of articles on the New Deal without paying my tribute of admiration and affection to the author of the deal—the great man who occupies the White House, who, 1 sincerely believe Is an Instrument sent by Providence in one of the most crucial periods of our history to lead America out of the black night of economic distress. During an active newspaper career of nearly forty years in Indianapolis and. Yt'ashington, closely associated with the great and the near gr-at. 'I Have become impressed with the belief that the greater a man is the more human he is, the more vibrant he is to human sympathy. Such a man is our President. Since Abraham Lincoln there has not been a more human personality in the White House. By human <1 mean genuine, unaffected, sincere. Those who have listened to the President's admirable radio addresses would know, even though they had never seen him. that there is nothing up-stage about him. Even though you have only a radio acquaintanceship with the President ou have sized him up as kind, warm hearted man. and you are right. Though born to th- purple. as was Jefferson, he has the common mans viewpoint, no less than had Jefferson or Lincoln. To those wlioae good fortune brings them into personal contact with the President he is simply delightful. My acquaintameship with him dates back to the hectic World War days when he was doing an ; unobtrusive but important part toward winning the War as Assistant S cretary of the Navy. Never have I known a more sociable or more companionable man. There is no tip-toeing in bis presence. He inspires love, and not fear in those around him. To him "A man's a man, for a' that’’, whether he be potentate or a day laborer, white or black. “I told Mac last night you news-

paper fellows would coin the expression 'super-cabinet’ “ said the President at one of his newapaper conference*, 'and Mac said ‘Oh. no I they won’t' but look at the first page this morning. I was right and Mac was wrong." Mac is the President's colored valet—just another companion. President Roosevelt has written a new chapter in political history by his forthrlghtMM in redeeming part pledgea. In that respect he has revealed himself as a very unusual diameter. Candhtetn* *wen candidates for the exalted office of President—are taken none too seriously by the people. When they make ap-eches professing what they propose to do if elected the popular inaaKteilitiou insUns-tlvely applies a liberal discount. That discount is on a sliding scale, depend ing on the confidence the voters have in the individual candidate, but always there is a discount. "Same old bunk", John Public is apt to say, halt amused and half disgusted. The old doctrine that "a political platform is made to get in on and no tto stand on"—a favorite saying ofshifty politicians, has no appeal to Franklin D. Roosevelt. He regards a national political platform as a solemn conveuant between the party and the people, most emphatically as something to stand on. as well as to get in on. He has as contemptuous a disregard for a violation of party pledges as he has for a breach of private obligwtious. In office he immediately set about to redeem the promisee of the Chicago platform. How well he succeed d in keeping faith with the people is shown by the fact that in a short session of four months Congress, under Presidential whip and spur, redeemed every pledge made at Chicago. This is an amazing achievement, an unparalleled accomplishment. It speaks volumes of praise for Franklin D. Roosevelt's fine character and matchless leadership. The new deal is all inclusive. It is born in the true Amereican spirit which designates it as something entirely apart from special privil-
