Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. GOOD PUBLICITY: — James R. Moore, writing in the Hoosier Farmer boosts the only sugar plant in Indiana located here and predicts a great future for the industry. In part, .Mr. .Moore’s article states: A cooperative plan was the means of reopening Indiana's only be. t sugar factory during the pact year at Decatur in Adams county. The operators of the factory and the producers of sugar beets in seven counties in the Decatur area got together last Spring and agreed to grow beets and manufacture sugar on a cooperative basis. The growers raise the beets and deliver them to the factory yard. The sugar company processthe beets into sugar pulp and molasses, sells the products and then the growers and the company di-

vide the proceeds 50-50. It is simply a partnership agreement between the growers and the procl'ssots, based on sound economics and good business ethics. Careful research into the farmer s cost of producing one ton of sugar beets, / and the companies' cost ol processing one ton of beets revealed the fact that the costs were practically the same. In other words, Ihe farmers' investment in sugar beet growing was found to be about equal to the companies’ investment in extracting the sugar, molasses and pulp from the beets. With equal investments in the production of the products, it fol- • lows that they should share equally in the cash return from the sale ( es these products. Hence the adoption of a 50-50 contract. All are very happy over the ar- < langcment as it is working to the | advantage of both the operators and the producers. The producers * have an equal interest and ownership in the manufactured sugar, with the operators, and use every precaution possible in growing and ' delivering the beets in good shape 1 and the operators are likewise ; cautious about the manufacturing of a high grade sugar. N< large 1 capital outlay is required by any ' of the interested parties and con- , s derably less waste is resulting ' front the cooperative plan. The 1 1 producers will receive fifty per- I cent of the net proceeds of sale of , the sugar and the by products, pulp and molasses. On December 15 the producers 1 received an advance of $4 per ton on their sugar beets delivered previous to December 1. the total amount of which was approximately $250,000. On January 15, they will receive the advance on beets delivered since December 1. When , the total output of sugar, pulp ami molasses will have been sold, they will receive a final payment which, with the advance of $4 per ton will equal 50 percent of tho net- selling price. President Roosevelt, in the most unusual message ever given to congress, accounted for the (stewardship delegated to him last ;■bring, took a few swings at those who are still trying to stall oft a roturn of prosperity, a punch at foreign nations that repudiate their debts and urged «enat>>rs and congressman to continue their efforts to better general conditions. It was another inspiring word from the great leader and the cheers with which it was re-

celved proved the popularity of his position. The nations and the world will likewise continue to endorse his forward looking and per- , fectly rounded actions. Os course some of the things being done are experiments, of course some of ’ them will fall, but the great thing is that the President is for the people and is using his wonderful talents to bring about a reform that will bring the best results In the years to come. He is not unmindful of the fact that .to do this we must go in debt but that means little if lasting prosperity is to follow and any sunt necessary can be quickly paid. The seventy-third session is on and there is important work to be done. We have faith in the administration and in the law making bodies. We sincerely believe it will be good judgement if the city dads will find out definitely the cost of improving the stewer condition here. It is more than probable that after the next session of the legislature this will be necessary and it is also possible that at that time it will be much more difficult to meet. Just now we can borrow the money from the government with the contract only to return 70% am] we can also have the labor done tinder the CWA, thus saving about two-thirds of the cost. Surely that is a matter of sufficient moment to warrant a thorough investigation. One of the big jobs of the next two or three months will be registering the voters under the new law. Plans for an organization to do that in Adams county are now under way and will be complete within a day or two. Every one should be anxious to register and

glad of the opportunity. That makes you a voting citizen and you can use your franchise when you wish to. It is a permanent re- 1 gistration and you won't have to bother about it again unless you move or change your name. With good times returning every one and especially every mer- 1 chant should awaken to the op- ' portunities. The next several years will be no occasion for sleeping. The ones who get up on their toes and go after business, will 1 get it, but those who lag will have a tough time getting by. Advertise. Its the sure fire method of increasing your income. In liis annual message to congress, President Roosevelt extolled Finland because that is the only foreign nation which has made good on the money borrowed from the United States. He will have some thing important to say to congress soon on that subject and from time to time will touch upon other matters of interest. * ■ ■ — Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. 1.

JUDGES FIND NEW CRIME CURB PLAN EFFECTIVE — Chicago Pair Use Own Method With Delinquent Boys Chicago, Nov. 29— (UP) -A new method of curbing crime among, youths, being experimented in by the Boys Division of the Municipal Court here, has attracted attention all over the country. Judges John Gutknecht and Lambert K. Hayes have conducted their i court on the principal of giving a ' delinquent boy a chance to think. ' after having suffered sufficient punishment. The formula used is as follows:

would make you gasp, and she rather wants to accept it. Johnny is up in arms at the idea. “She’ll just make a lot of money and buy another bracelet!” he exclaimed to me. “She promises she won’t but I know her and we’ve got enough bracelets.” What Johnny

fears is that Lupe will do a stretch of personal appearances and that, by the time she comes back. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer will be sending him around the country with the new “Tarzan.” “I think you’ll see she won’t go,” said Johnny. In any event, nothing can be done for several weeks, as Lupe first has to wait for the preview of “Laughing Boy” and then for any possible retakes. A group at Warner Brothers were holding an indignation meeting about doctors who make wrong diagnoses. “Yeah,” said Joe E. Brown, "take my gardener. He was treated six months for yellow jaundice before they found out he was a Jap.” Those much-separated honeyiT»oo!!©rs s Alice Whit* and Cy Bortlett, are reunited again. Cy got into town from Sonora, Mexico, and he and Alice celebrated the coming in of the new year together. Their real honeymoon won’t come until May, when they plan a trip to Europe. It will be Alice’s first time across the ocean. Cy has made the voyage several times. Richard Dix took his entire family—a matter of 22 relative* --to his
