That may not be all, you expected but its much better | than if it had gone that far the other way, Ve admit the drops la prices of i farm products is a disappointment I and beyond understanding and we are sure these will either have to I be corrected or the prices of the ! g >ods the farmer must buy will, have to be reduced. There can bel no other way for the average farmer cannot go on much longer under the present system. There should be no misunderstanding as to the compulsory education law of Indiana. It clearly places ttye responsibility upon the parents and there are few if any exemptions. Children between the ages of six and sixteen must go to school and when they don't the parents will be held responsible. Several new canning factories are being locat-d just now through the middle west, preparatory to next season. That would he a fine thing here. We have the groundj and the right kind of farmers and this would provide a market for pickles, tomatoes or whatever the factory decided to market. Now is the time to go after one of these plants. Those who escaped from Michigan City prison recently are going to hover around the gates until they get a dose of their own medicine. They have been seen two or three times, it is claimed, evidently thinking they can beat any game with their machine guns. They will meet up with the wrong officer some day who will turn' out to be the right one for society. When the deposit insurance law was enacted and since, some bankers have not favored it but applications are being received in Washington from more than 200 a day from state banks not members of the federal reserve system, indicating that they are willing to go along. Many believe it will b* the greatest restorative of prosperity since the depression began. The Century of Progress in Chicago will not close until November 12th, it has been announced, instead of October 31st as originally planned. The extension will make possible the observation of Amistice Day on the fair grounds and plans for a great celebration are under way. The fair has been a great success and this will enable a million or two to attend who otherwise would have been forced to miss it. <Z> I Seldom is a funeral problem mentioned we have not solved for someone far or near.

1 .1 Time* are much better than three months ago. Os course they are not what we all hoped for but it was asking a 10l when we expected to recover lu a tew days from a disaster that tumbled for years. We have faith. We know the national administration is doing every thing in their power for the people and will so continue and we feel certain that 1334 will tte an old fashioned year of prosperity. Two years front next May this city will be a hundred years old I That's always an important event and it has been suggested that an i organization be formed as soon as | possible for the purpose of staging I a real celebration io honor of our I centennial. Its a good idea and we hope it grows. While we can't be definite yet as to just how we will celebrate, we could make plans that would work under any conditions. And those forming such a committee would enjoy it. We remember quite well the delightful; meetings of the committee which I had charge of the Home Coming i i hero in 1912 and we remember I j also what a good time every one i I had who participated in that event | Let's get busy and organize a Cantenial Club. That the NRA “buy now” cam- ‘ paign is one of those things to be . grouped under the heading I Worthy Causes," goes without i saying. In sheer self-interest, the | consumer has a powerful incentive ■ to make his purchases now before | prices go higher. That they will go higher, and that in the near future, seems about as certain as anything can be in an dneertain world. To buy what you need now instead of putting it off until midwinter is nothing but plain common sense. But there is another angle to it, even more important. Business is beginning to pick up. If the pick-up is to continue, it must be sustained by steadily increasing consumption By spending your money now, you not only do something for yourself; you do your part toward restoring pros-' 1 perity. —Hartford City News. o I Answers To Test Questions Below a.e the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. 1.

♦ « a Household Scrapbook —BY— i 1 ROBERTA LEE ♦— — < Ferns ' < Many of the ferns that grow wild 11 in the woods make beautiful house- ' plants.
