DECATUR AND SUGAR: We all like to hear nice things about our community and we are sure you will enjoy reading the following well written editorial, I clicked off by the editor of the Hartford City News: "The sugar beet industry has found a happy home in Indiana, it is centralized at Decatur, Adams county—a city of some 5,500 boosters, who do not hesitate to boast that ‘Decatur is one of the finest, big little cities in Indiana.’ The sugar beet industry there has hit the depression a solar plexus blow, and if you should happen to mention cane sugar within the border lines of Adams county, it is possible that you might summarily be deported. And Decatur lias a perfect right to be proud of its sugar industry. It has taken up the unemployed slack, put thousands of dollars into trade channels and spurred business to almost the 1929 levels. "A News representative, Saturday visited Decatur to witness the climaxing festivities of ’Beet Sugar Week,' an almost county-wide celebration. featured by a large parade and the coronation of a 'Sugar Queen.' It was the pleasure also or this representative to visit the Decatur sugar plant where tons of sugar beets —some possibly grown in Blackford county—are being converted daily into pure crystal white sugar. In fact, the Central Sugar Company, Indiana's only f>e r t sugar factory, turns out about 300,00# pounds daily. Some 350 employees ape now on the company's payroll. On December 15th, approximately 2250,000 will be distributed among co-operating farmers. Another distribution is to be made the first of the year and the final distribution early next spring. The Central Sugar company operates on a 'fiftyfifty basis with the farmers and there is absolute satisfaction with all concerned. "The factory was a busy beehive of happy workers. They are enthusiastic over beet sugar and have a warehouse, containing over nine million pounds, ready for tilt- market to compete with 'anybody’s sugar anywhere.’ Every business house was decorated during Beet Sugar Week' with sacks of 'Crystal White’ sugar. Everybody is talking beet sugar and boosting it. They are not hesitant to sing its praise and boost theif own little city. True. Decatur has liffrl bank failures, the depression has been felt, but Decatur is 'on the way back’ fast. They are alert and every man. woman and child is a booster. They are not only proud of their sugar factory, but they likewise boost their other industries. They talk Decatur to anyone and everybody who will listen. And because of this spirit of cooperation, this live wire, go-getting attitude, Decatur is ‘stepping out.' And if this same spirit prevails, it w ill go places’."

community la being treated unfairly in the distribution of labor and argues that this ought to be done according to population and , geography. That may be true but it isn't the plan as promulgated. Those in charge of this great campaign against unemployment have gone on the basis that those in greatest need ought to be put to work first and the local officials can only follow Instructions from those in charge nationally. We are sure if Berne has any just complaint, It will be listened to and the wrongs, if there are any, corrected, whenever possible. Its just possible there may be some politics in the position taken by the Witness, which is another thing not supposed to enter in to this program. Surely in this work, we can all see the humantarian desire of President Roosevelt and uphold him. The men on public work jobs it seems to us are very foolish to even listen to the agitators who are going over the country, trying to induce them to strike or grumble. The present effort to provide employment .for laboring men at good wages, is the greatest ever i made any where and when some grumbler comes along, he ought to be hustled on his way and kept going until he reaches Russia or some other country where he belongs. The supreme court has decided that full authority to determine I whether an emergency exists.; necessitating an excess of the rate limit, lies with county adjustment ■ boards and the state tax board ano that gasoline tilling stations are subject to the chain store tax. which disposes of a couple of ques- , tions that ' have been bothering manv folks for some little time. ! Those in charge of securing permits from property owners along the St. Marys river, between the Erie and the Pennsylvania railwaybridges, report they have had almost complete success. Up to Saturday evening, all but three on both sides of tire river had signed up and we are sure these will not hold out against such an improvei ment. There is no good reason why women should not be employed as a part of the CWA program, where it can be shown that they need the work and where such services as they can do, may be petitioned for. A start has been made and should be carried on. A membership in a Christmas Saving club means a lot of pleasure next holidays that will more than make up for the thrift thus employed. The Good Fellows club will have to move along rapidly this week if those in charge are to take care of the job of providing a Santa Claus for the poor boys and girls. You can't shop early any more, but you can still do a satisfactory job if you start at once. o * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Dally Demwit File ♦ Fred Hoffman, contractor, is able to be up after five weeks illness.

County Agent Writes Articles On Corn - Hog Production Plan

(Editor's Note—This is the second of a series of articles prepared by county agent L. E. Arch cold, explaining tho corn and hog aitua-1 tion.) I The plan under which farmers may voluntarily adjust production to a profitable demand, and then . administer thie payment through their own community and c.iunty organizations, constitutes a highly important phase of the general ad-; justment production program which is being taken to farmers of Am- ; erica by the Agricultural Adjust-1 ment Administration. The corn-hog ' plan is similar to the adjustment ■ plans for cotton, wheat, and tobacco farmers. Plans for handling the administration of the corn-hog program called for the oganization of community and county committees. A preliminary county campaign committee to be selected by the county agricultural agent has been or is to be chosen in each county. This preliminary organization will in turn select community committees to start the campaign in their respective townships or communities. At community meetings the ap« plication iffgners will elect directors of the county corn-hog producj tion control association, the organI ization that will have the final work 1 on contracts before they are com-

G. Black, | chief of tlie corn-hog section. ‘‘This ! idea is based on the fundamental ! principle of fair play between pro , ducers and is an earnest effort to i get them a fair share of the nation- | al income.” COURT HOUSE New Case Filed Peoples State Bank et al vs Edward Beer et al, promissory note, Chris Musselmaa attorney.
