The roads of Adams county are in excellent condition and Ralph Roop and the board of commissioners deserve much credit for the •ccmfflffP'- and results. The highaays'fftf Adams county compare durably with those in any of the west. *Here\we are in October with summer gone and autumn well started. We wonder where it went so quickly. Oh well, let s enjoy Indian summer and smile when the cold winds notify us that its time for the heavies and a snug place hy the old stove. Decatur merchants did a good business Saturday. They can do more by advertising and by making a little more effort. This is one of the best trade centers in | this part of the country and those who wish to enjoy increased volurnn may do so by the liberal use of printers ink. Harvey Bailey and a half dozen others who kidnaped Charles Urschel, Oklahoma oil operator, have been found guilty and the court will sentence them next Saturday unsier, the federal Lindbergh antiikidnaping law, which provides a .maximum of life imprisonment. .Those guilty of this henious crime have the limit with hard work and no pardons. Fort Wayne will have a $2.75 tax I rate which may not be all that was by the reformers but a “Vonsidarable improvement for those "who have to pay over the proposed •$4.06. However it depends on how •bad that will put them in next •year. Dodging what must be paid — sometimes results in more serious •com plications. Time will tell. — Pay your state income tax for • •the quarter before October 15th. •By doing so you make it easier for — yourself and you help provide the “funds with which the schools will “be kept going. Governor McNutt •says the future of our school sys<*tem is in the balance and surely •we will not fail when it is so easy •to comply with. The tax must be • paid by the end of the year, so • why not meet the quarterly pay•ment flow? • ~ It might be wise to abandon in prisons and re"turn Me some of the old time rules. -In the- old days the striped garb -of a prisoner could be recognized •any where but now those who. es- • • cape can easily get by with their • ..plain gray suits and trousers vith just a black stripe down the side "which doesn’t attract particular "attention. If the old stripes will ’"make it harder they should at least

be used on the confirmed criminals. Eventually the prisoners who escaped from Michigan City will * be recaptured and added to their a present records will now bo that of murder or accessory to that crime, t kidnaping and mutiny, any of which ought to be serious enough • to put them in the electric chair j or solitary confinement. They are trying to pin the blame on some , one naturally but the plot was evi- ) dently carefully planned and with • outside help. Such breaks are dis- ) ficult to prevent when such a gang * has that assistance. I = We adjure the property owners on No. 527 not to dally with the proposition of giving easements for the proposed new paved highway over that route. We know what we are talking about when we : tell you the improvement can be gotten now. We also sincerely believe that If this opportunity is . passed up it may be some time be- > fore we can get it. We are proud of the Central Sugar Company located here. Without much fussing and with no great blare of trumpets the management of that concern has gone forward w-ith their plans as promised by Mr. McMillen in his talk at the Catholic Auditorium here last spring. They have improved the plant and they have arranged the yards so the farmers can be taken care of speedily when they bring in their beets. They are working constantly to please those who raise this crop, realizing that when they do so they are encouraging the continuance of this branch of farming. That's wise for what helps one side of this partnership. I aids the other. — If the Republicans insist on making a political fight of the town elections, they have that right but they will be disappointed if they expect the voters to turn their backs upon those who are making such a great effort to restore govloathe people and to take them out of the depression. Both the state and federal administration has done much and will do more and only he blindest partisan will insist that great advancement has not been made. Compare conditions now with six months ago. Millions of men have returned to work, business has improved and the outlook is brighter than at any time since the fateful autumn of 1929. Go ahead and make politics | out of it if you desire, brothers.. The people are not yet ready to forget what they went through prior to last November s elections. —o TWENTY YEARS 1 AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat File ) Frank Parrish and Miss Adda Yocum wed in Hillsdale.

<That/Myßoy! FRANCIS WALLACE 3 AUTHOR OF "HUDDLE*

SYNOPSIS i "Big Jeff" Randolph, now in his second year on the Thorndyke varsity and one of the nation's greatest football stars, has had a brilliant grid career ever since his high school days in little Athens, a mid-west factory town, where Mom and Pop and the rest of the family are now listening over the radio to the game between their boy's great eastern university and Indiana State. “Big Jeff" is just Tommy back home whieh he visits on vacations and startles with his social-sartorial splendid. He’s gone somewhat high-hat with the seal of Thorndyke upon him and has drifted away from Dorothy Whitney, daughter of the richest man in Athens — the owner of the glassworks in which his Pop labors. “Big Jeff” stars in the victory over Indiana State, 7-0, which game was witnessed by the Whitneys and heard via radio by Mom, Pop, Uncle Ixiuie and the neighbors. ... At the Stadium. “Jeff” introduces Miss Whitney, his high school sweetheart, to Elaine Winthrop, his college crush, the erstwhile little Tommy affecting a broad English accent. . . . Back home Uncle Louie banked his hopes for the postmastership on Al Smith, but you know what happened in *2B. ... Mom, and even Pop, felt sorry. . . . Athens plans to banquet its great grid hero during Christmas vacation and Bop is invited to make a speech on that occasion. . . . CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR Then Mom told him he'd better be careful because it wasn’t supposed to be that kind of a speech but just to talk about Tommy; but Pop got up and began to walk around and think of other things he would tell them because one of the things wrong with this country was that people were afraid to speak up to the monied people and that this time they were going to hear plenty from a man who wasn’t afraid to tell them. He’d tell them about the eight-hour day and about the bullsheveekis that were ruining the country and how they should all be sent back to the old country. “No,” said Mom, almost crying, "you’ll disgrace us all and Tommy, too, and everybody will get mad.” Then Pop began to get mad at Mom and said she was like all the rest, afraid of the reform people and the monied people; and he’d tell the Booster Club too, what he thought of them and that what the town needed was some men with good business heads; and he’d tell the Chamber of Commerce about spying on a man and how much money he owed and all that. Pop had wanted to tell them all that he thought for a long time and this was his chance and nobody was going to stop him. He got louder and louder and while he was talking to himself in came Uncle Louie; and when he found out what was up he said that he was the one to make the speech, not Pop, because he had been in politics all his life and knew a lot of big men and had sat on the same platform with Bryan when he had spoken in town in nineteen-eight, and knew how to make a speech better than Pop who was only a workingman. Then Pop hit the ceiling and said if he hadn’t been a workingman Uncle Louie would have starved long ago because he had never earned an honest dollar in his life and was one of the town’s grafters and he would tell them that, too, when he got up to talk. And Uncle Louie jumped up and said that Pop would have to prove that in court because he would sue him for libel

Washington, and printed In the. Forestry News Digest.” —■O' ■■■■- — Women Have 50 Shades Os Polish For Nails Paris.— (U.R) To have fashion-1 able fingertips three shades of nail I polish are required, In the opinion lot a New York manicurist making a survey of Paris beauty shops. "We have an assortment of 50 colors." she sold. "Including the jewel shades, and we choose polish in relation to the complexion of the person, the shape of their hands snd the color of the costume. If the skin is fair, or rosy, the shpdes of nail polish should have a pinkish or rosy quality; but If the skin is sallow, olive tan or sunburned, smart women prefer an orange-red tone such as pink coral or tomato. Light or medium shades make the fingers and hands look longer, and deep shades, such as Chinese red and carmine, are for long, thin hands.” .O' • pop's Scheme Failed WASHINGTON (U.R) — Walter Acton was a policeman in Riverdale. Md. He thought be could make himself some extra money by giving a traffic violator the choice of a ticket, or $5, cash on the spot. Walter Acton no longer is a policeman anywhere. The charge was extortion.

and Pop said Uncle Louie had been going to sue somebody all his life but had never sued anybody yet because he was afraid to set his foot in a court room for fear he’d never get out. Mom got them quieted down and finally Pop said he hadn't really meant that Uncle Louie was a crook because if he was he'd have something to fall back on instead of wasting his life waiting for the Democrats to get in; and Uncle Louie said Pop wasn’t so smart himself or he’d have his own home and Pop said there was a good reason for that; and Uncle Ix>uie said if he wasn’t welcome around there he wouldn’t stay and Pop said he could suit himself. Then they both got quiet and Mom brought in some coffee and cake and they all had some. “Anyhow,” Pop started again, “how could you make a speech when you’ve never even been invited ?” “I was invited to banquets in this town before you knew what a banquet was,” Uncle Louie said. Then they got started again and Mom couldn’t stop them but, as luck happened, Pete came in then. “Pipe down," he said, “before the fire department comes up and turns the hose on both of you!" Then they did quiet down and went to bed. “Were the neighbors listening?” Mom asked Pete. “Who cares?” Pete said. “We’re paying the rent.” But the next day, at Butcher Brown’s, Mom knew they had been listening; for no sooner had she come in than Mrs. Johnson asked: “Was somebody sick at your house las’ night. Mis’ Randolph? I thought I heard a noise.” “Oh,” Mom said, “that was Jim practicin’ his speech, I guess. I told him maybe he was talking too loud because the neighbors around are easily disturbed.” How dtd she like that? “I thought I heard Louie, too,” Mrs. Farrell said, picking over the lettuce as if everybody wanted to eat what she had handled. “Oh,” said Mom, “Louie was helping Jim—Louie’s a great speechmaker, you know.” “Yes,” Mrs. Farrell said, “Louie’s a great talker, all right.” She laughed, like a sick hen cackling. “Yes,” Mom answered, laughing, “I’ve often told him he should have been an insurance man, the way they talk a leg off a person." “But,” said Mrs. Johnson, “what’s the speech about?” The other ladies listened carefully, although Mrs. Farrell pretended to be picking over the tomatoes. Mom took her time. “Oh,” she said, “I thought you knew. I guess it ain’t been in the papers yet, though.” “I ain’t seen nothing,” Mrs. Johnson said. “Why,” Mom answered, as if it were nothing, “it’s just a banquet —have you got a good soup bone today, Butcher?” “What kind of a banquet?” Mrs. Flannigan persisted. “Oh,” Mom said, “the town is going to give a big banquet for Jeff when he comes home Christmas.” "A feed, huh,” Butcher Brown ' asked, “where you going to buy 1 your meat?” ' Mom laughed. “Oh, you'll have i to see the Committee, Butcher, I’m 1 just an invited guest — naturally, I they’d invite his mother and ' father.” i “Is it free?” Mrs. Flannigan i asked. i “Oh no,” Mom said, “except for i the invited guests like the mayor 1 and the school board and me and Pop—l suppose everybody at the head table will get in free.”
