This is the request of Mayor Krick, who has ordered the I to see that these requests tire complied with. Another thing we would like to Jtnow is why machine guns and i these big revolvers that the bandits Vise in their warfare are sold prom-1 •iscously. Ordinary citizens don't' need them or want them and it ..would seem that a dealer would j Took with suspicion on any one who ' rtried to buy one unless holding l WieiaL capacity. . There is evidence every day that ’ .the McNutt administration is sav-j ing the state money, for ins'.ance, | 'this year 1,000,000 drivers license J ‘forms were purchased for s3,Ode. In 1929 when the law became effec- ■ tive. the state bought 2.000.000 and * paid $93,000. After all isn't that what counts, saving your money? In the- next few years we will all feel the advantage of the present thrift. The governors who conferred ■ with President Roosevelt found' him easy to talk to and just as much Interested as they are. They i also discovered that he has been j doing much towards the ends of■ recovery for the middie west farm-', ers. fie agreed with them that , conditions are far from satisfactory • i and promised further assistance top them, keeping in mind however 11 that all other lines of trade and business must be considered also. , t W. S. Smith who has served as ‘. 'iquidating agent for the Monroe ■ State Bank since it closed in the , string of 1930 deserves the appre- j ciation of every interested party j and the congratulations of the ( onimunity. He has returned a> ■ - , showing the past three years that ■ proves the bank must have been j entirely solvent There are still L some assets and Mr. Smith hopes I to soon be able to complete his * task by paying 100%, a remarkable', showing indeed. II The road blockade system of i ( state police, planned and organic- i ed by Al Feeney is apparently!' 1 working. It will at least keep the j bandits off the main highways and; force them to travel over macadam . roads at less speed. Tests so far I made have proven effective and a ! number of law violators have been ■ captured. So far it looks like a' very wise move. Even the modern ;

bandit, smart as be seems to be, will not know just when or where he is going to .-un into a trap and a few captures will break up the , crime wave in Indiana. The annual nation-wide Red Cross Roll Call will start Sunday. November 12th and contlaue the rest of the month. As always, thia is one of the most important tasks of the year. The money thus raised ! is used to aid in cases of national ' distress, most of the money remain- ' ing here fur use by the local chapter. Wai Wemhoff, who always makes good, is again the chairman and will be aided by excellent workers here and over the county. Boost thia cause, its always worth while. Indiana ranks second to Illinois in attendance at the Century of Progress exhibition. Several hundred thousand people from this state visited the big fair and ninety-nine per cent of them were more than delighted with the event, j It is nearing the close of the great-1 ■ eat event of its kind ever held any - where, unless they should decide : ■to go on nex> year and that is | doubtful. Governor McNutt has ' told the managers of the show that I I while Hoosierdom will give then 4 best wishes and much patronage. ; the state cannot continue its ex- ! hibit. because there is no appro- ' I priation to cover the cost. ———T"'.j I Decatur is about the only town ( ' or city we know of in this part of, i the country where outside stores . lean litter the front porches with, i bills and circulars. This week 1 ’ ; there has been a flood of them, f Ii I using a similar method in Fort i 1 Wayne and it Aught to be stopped • ‘ here. Just what kind of an ord- i I inance is necessary or what is used j | in these other places, we do not i know, but it seems to work and | < ought to be tried it our merchants J are prevented from circularising ( other towns as they are. 1 You are invited to purchase a ticket for the American Legion din- 1 ' ner on Armistice Day. November 1 11th. when a splendid program will { i be rendered, suitable to the occas- ] • ion. It marks the 15th anniversary r ;of the close of the World War, a 1 date remembered by all who had. t relatives or friends in the great 5 army which was either overseas or J preparing to go over. N. R. Holt- • house is chairman of the general ■ committee which is arranging for the affair and his past performances along that line, assures a real and interesting couple of hours. The : principal speaker will be the Hon., Harry McLain, insurance commiss-' loner of Indiana and a prominent legionnaire. Household Scrapbook -BY- ♦_ ROBERTA LEE 4 The Razor Strop A few drops of sweet oil should ' ibe applied to the razor strop occasionally. Another suggestion is Ito dip it in hot water after using. Bottles and Cruets To clean cloudy bottles and , cruets, pour pure household ammonia into them and shake vigor- ■ ously. Rinse them with boiling i water. ! Eggs Purchase small wire trays or ■ baskets for holding the eggs in the j I | refrigerator. The eggs will keep I better than if they are left in the' j paper carton, because of the free . ! circulation of air. o———
