It's not always doing the big things that count. Look at Finland. Talk all you please about devaluing the dollar, most people would rather have them devalued or revalued, and in amounts of any size. Roger Touhy and three members of his kidnap gang are being tried in Chicago. We hope they make , quick work of it and that the , hoodlums are loe-ked away for the rest of their lifes. Work on U. S. road 27 and slate road 118 has been stopped, due to , bad weather conditions. Ora Baker, district highway superintendent announced. It is believed that activity will be resumed later. In the meantime additional funds may be obtained, permitting an extension on tlie PWA projects. County health nurses will visit the schools and offer their services free iu examining the children. Often an examination will detect some ailment from which the child suffers and recommendations as to seeing the family physician will be made. The cooperation of parent and child is asked by those in charge. Huey Long is being stripped of what power he had in Washington * ad it appears that after the senatorial committee is through with ’ him that he may be sent back home. The old Kingfish has had • his day and will bo refetTcd to as one of those accidents iu politics. He acts like a four-flusher aid a howling coyote. We’re glad he doesn't represent Indiana. This man Dillinger will be riddled one of these days and that will end his career of crime. Officers will not take a chance anymore and it sure that he is the man, look out for Dillinger, it’s about the only way to stop a beast like that and unless he takes to the tall timbers headlines will tell of his end. More than 800 farms have been visited by enumerators in the federal farm canvass being made in this county. The work will continue until all of the 2,000 farms have been visited and whatever showing other Indiana counties make we are sure Adams couuty will stack up with the best. This talk about war scorns waste ot space and foolish. Government's may be planning, but the people will have something to say when it comes to a great conflict. There will be outbreaks between Japan

and China and Russia may got into it some way, but tor the next decade or generation, the leading nations will have problems enough at home. The subject ot smoke nuisance has been a general topic for years. These days one realizes what Is meant by smudge and air filled with soot. The other day we saw a chimney belching so much smoke that the entire building was enveloped. For a block you could smell the smoke and housewives complained that it came in the j houses. Such abuses should stop. Fred Hoke, able executive and head of the governor’s re-employ-ment committee has been named a member of the National Emergency Council, representing Indiana. It is the purpose of government to coordinate all federal agencies in this state and in that task Mr. Hoke will devote himself. His selection seems to meet with popular favor over the state. Carlos Hevia is the new president l of Cuba, succeeding Grau San Martin, who came into office with the ’ last revolution. Hevia was edu j cated in the United States, being a I graduate o( Annapolis. He was a member of the cabinet, serving as secretary of agriculture and diplomatic circles believe he will hold on longer than any of his predecessors. The president's job over there doesn't last much longer than ' a gangsters reign in this country. A needed and worthy improve-' meat is the new steps leading to the court house. For years these stone slabs have been more or less dangerous treds and in freezing weather were rendered more hazadous, because of the ice which accumulated. A wider step will be placed at the entrance and not only will the public's safety be protected, but the general appearance of the building will be improved. Nothing maxes a place look so rickety as dilapidated steps. Speaking of gold, one is reminded of the stories ot the days of 49. Captain Sutter while digging a sluice for his mill near San Fran-! cisco, discovered fabulous deposits of the shiny metal and as soon as word got out the great gold rush was on. Sutter's place was overrun by prospectors and the fiery captain died a pauper in the effort to establish his claim. The tales about the gold strike days will always be interesting and the search for the metal will always continue. I which explains the principle why gold is used as a reserve for government currency. It's about the hardest thing to get and that makes invaluable.

Household Scrapbook I —BY—ROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ Prevents Sticking When cooking something that is liable to stick, try placing the flat gas toaster directly over the flame and then place the pan on the toaster. This is particularly good when reheating anything with a thick gravy, as it is unnecessary then to weaken it by adding water. Coal Coal will not burn so quickly if a solution of one-half pound of washing soda to a gallon of water is sprinkled over the coal a few days before burning. It will also bive more heat. Felt Hats To remove spots from a light felt hat try rubbing the. spots gently with a piece of fine emery paper. v — —0 Get the Habit — Trade at Home

INDIA DEATH TOLL MOUNTS Airplane Pilots Estimate Death Toll As High As 10,000 Calcutta. India, Jan. 17—4U.R) Cities, villages and hill lilattou ® over a wide area of north central India were devastated today, thoir populations scattered or woki « dead in the ruins ot their home . after an earthquake that had reached the proportionsofa major disaster. Airplanes that surveyed the quake area brought a story of a country prostrated, thousands of Its buildings crumbled, whole towns under water, bodies lying in streets, buried in ruins or floating down streams toward the sea. Captain Frederick Dalton, mem--1 ber of an air circus, who piloted ■ the first plane to penetrate the ' area, said he believed the dead ; must total between 8.000 and I 10,000. Threat of famine and disease, i age old enemies of crowded India, faced survivors who were still cut off from ordinary communication. The quake occurred at 2:39 p m. Monday. Dalton reported that the town of Muxafarporo in northern Bihar, an important trade center with a population ot 497.750. was the center of the stricken zone there. For 100 miles around, he said, on the fertile plain, dotted with mangrove trees and bambooand rice fields, with 970 personliving on each square mile of ground, corpses were strewn and centers of population ruined. "The streets were full of bod ies," he said. "Hundreds must have been buried in debris.
