OUR GOVERNOR: Concerning the banquet honoring the governors who attended the recent conference in California, t McGroarty wrote in the Los Angeles Sunday Times magazine for September 10: “Once in a long, long time however, there is a speech that thrills one's very soul and brings back the old days of the orators who moved worlds. And there was one speech like that at the feast. "H was the speech of His Excellency, the Governor of Indiana. When he was presented the diners supposed it was just another Gov- i ernor rising to say a few- nice words and jnaybe tell a funny story. But no sooner had he uttered his first words than his hearers were alert in their seats, all attention. Everyone knew that an orator was on his feet. Demosthenes had returned t£<iui Limbo to stir men's souls agaijj.j If was as though someone in the room had lighted another candle. “When we had come home again that night and sat thinking it all over tinder the stars once more and in the peace and quiet of our hills, this man clung to our memories -and followed us into the dreams of sleep.’’ Th,' state highway commission is doing-its part towards taking care of the unemployment problem. More-than 5,000 men were put to work this week and that number -will be added each week the next • month as the work is provided. ■•The biggest part of the plan is the! M. | •widening of state highways by addwing to each side of the road and it js likely this will be done on No. JJ27 through this county if coopernation is given as to easements. «• The tax rate at Bluffton is to be ••$3.78 next year and that nothwith—standing the fact they had a rate "well over three dollars this year. increase is largely due of •course to the reduction in valu“ations. Huntington citizens will ~pay $3.39 and. many other cities •are much higher than in Adams •county and Decatur.

Thu sleeping sickness epidemic at St. Louis Is on the wane, according to reports and while that la heartening. ft would be a source of , satisfaction to know why and whether they have found a means of cheeking the disease, once it * breaks out in some other section of the country. Since August Ist ’ there have been more than 1,000 1 cases there with 171 deaths. . More accidents and more fatal--1 ities over the week-end and an I argument for wider highways as • now being proposed by the state , highway commission. With added i automobiles each day and with the traffic ever more complicated, any improvement that will reduce the number of accidents, should be im-| mediately made. Voters in 443 Indiana towns will select new officials in November and interest is being manifested in many of them. While some efforts are being made to make these elections more than usually important • as to state administration support lor non-snpport, the fact remains i that as always, they will depend* largely upon local issues and the personalities of the candidates. When the boys of Adams Post No. 43, American Legion, march down Michigan Avenue in Chicago, behind the beautiful float, “Memories of No Man’s Land." a million j people will recognize them as a bunch of "live wires.” It requires | pep and effort and a-desire to do things, to take the squads to the i convention and No. 43 has it. - The Indiana Democratic State Committee will meet soon for the | purpose of disposing of such business as may come before them and : the governor is to attend. Bet a nij-kle it won't be as wild as the opposition press has been trying to make us believe. Its time for the buyers to awak en to the fact that the NRA can only continue at the present overhead as they patronize them. And it will help greatly if the merchants will use more space in telling the folks what they have to offer. And any time that Jim Watson consents to running for the lower house of Congress while Artie Robinson runs for the upper,house it will be a mighty frigid day in August. 0 - - Answers To Test Questions Below a.e the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. 1.
