The coal men were busy today. When zero weather comes, we all reeognizze the fact that it takes fuel to keep a house comfortable. A Chicago man. who told the judge he “can drink or let it alone" admitted he wanted to leave it alone so badly that he stole his mothers false teeth and pawned them for booze. No wonder he was bitten. The new 1934 black and while license tags are becoming quite numerous this week and by next Monday the old brown ones will be quite out of style in Indiana. You will, however, be able to sec them by watching the Ohio cars, since that's the new color for the Buckeye's. .lust two more days in which to do your auto license shopping and they tell us they do not intend to extend the time limit this year. Other states enforce the license law January Ist and there seems tn be no good reason why Indiana shouldn’t do the same. Alter we get used to it, we will probably like it. Adams county bonds are at a premium and are sought by bankers and investors. No bond from this county has ever been defaulted and in this day of recovery that's something to be proud of. Perhaps that partially explains why we have been selected for various favors ami why we have progressed considerably the past year. Il pays to keep credits up. French Quinn discussed the New Deal at the annual Schafer banquet and boiled down here is what he said: “The NRA is the Golden Rule in practise. The CWA means that Uncle Sam is taking from those who have too much and giving to those who have too little, I ut asking the recipient to give a lair return for what he receives." And that’s worth thinking about. We are planning our annual subription renewal campaign with the hope that every member of our big famliy will renew and have their friends subscribe. 'l‘he past year has beou filled with news breaks and every issue has contained items of deepest interest and importance to you. Indications are that 1934 will exceed it in events. You need the paper and we need you. Let’s do a little pulling together. <Z> Continuous Growth! The highest tribute we could ever ask — Thanks to our loyal friends. W. H.

Madam Faunae of France, the old girl who predicted the armistice would be signed November 11th and who has otherwise proven p her power as a seeress has awakened from her hypnotic sleep again and declares that the United States 1 will lead au era of prosperity never equalled, during 1934. It • will start, she says, September Ist ' and continue for years. Os course we don’t believe iu such things but thanks any way, madam, any thing ’ that adds to optimism, aids recovi ery. The fact that this nation Is spending three billion dollars to relieve the depression shocks some of those miserly inclined but when you stop to think that even when at the bottom of the depression we did an annual business of four hundred billion dollars, you may realize why the effort is worth while. A 10% increase in business-and most concerns have done much better than that the past few months —would mean forty billion a year. We can afford to do a little spending to keep the old ball moving. The Reppert Auction Schoo! which for years has attracted classes to this city is again under way and a group of young men are taking training under the guidance of the famous auctioneer and his assistants. These men we are sure will gain more knowledge of how to sell goods in the next three weeks than they could otherwise gain iu a long time. Hundreds of men have secured diplomas here and the record shows that most of them have made good. Decatur extends a sincere welcome to these visitors and the assurances of a good time in a good town. On the night of January 30th, in | thousands of cities, towns and villages over the United States, will be held birthday party balls for President Roosevelt. This is not an effort to particularly honor the great President, much as he deserves it, but it is being done to raise a fund with which to endow the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation. that they may carry on a national crusade against infantile paralysis. Iu this city Norbert R. Holthouse has been appointed chairman of the committee to have charge. He will name assistants and they will decide upon the plans. It will be a great event for a wonderful cause and the support of every one is urged. —o i ♦ ♦ I Household Scrapbook —BY—ROBERTA LEE ♦ > Cleaning White Fur I It is not difficult to clean a white fur scarf if warm, dry cornmeal is placed iu a large pan. and then rubbed into the fur.

These are some of the questions ; you will be called upon to answer in filling out this work sheet which will be sent to all farmers of 'Adams County as part of the first step in the actual sign-up of the corn-1 hog reduction contract. Among I other things asked is the use of the j corn grown on the farm during the two year base period, whether har- i vested for grain, hogged off, cut lor silage or fed green; also what crops have been grown the last ’ few years on the land you will von-: tract to the government and what the yields have been. "Tn regard to the hogs, growers will be asked to fill in on the work sheet, figures showing the numbers of litters farrowed in both spring and fall of 1932 and of 1933; . the number of hogs raised and marketed or to be marketed from these litters; hogs sold as stockers or feeders, for breeding purposes; hogs slaughtered or to | be slaughtered for use on the farm: the nunkber retained for breeding purposes and the feeder hogs |
