Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dallies. A survey shows that business in Indiana during the last quarter of 1933 was up 21 per cent compared with a year ago. A few jumps like that and we ll be about normal. Dog owners will pay less tax tliis year oh their pets. The county | commissioners have cut the annual fees to a maximum of three dollars and the several hundred dog own-; ers in the county appreciate the saving. Millions and great names don’t seem to make any difference when it comes to love affairs, some fair maiden jilting one of the young Astors within just a few days of the announced wedding of the prominent couple. So it goes. The local tire department has made two runs' in the last 21 hours. It's been so many weeks since we had a fire that the old whistle rounded like tlie blast of doomslay. And nobody cares if the siren . doesn’t blow for six months. The Wynekoop murder trial has beffii postponed and the doctor sent back to jail. Her health is poor . and she may not live to see the completion of the case, which fact docs not warrant any dismissal of the serious charges. • - The country hopes young Bremer of St. Paul will be released and that tlie autberities apprehend his I kidnapers. We don't believe in mob law or lynchings and if the criminals are caught they better be hurried to a state prison or violence may break out in those cities where feeling runs high against the cowardly kidnapers. Adams County will not hold a delinquent tax sale this year. Due to the fact that only those taxes i 15 months in arrears can be adver-, tised, the amount that would have been offered for sale was small. I Then too local officials wish to co-’ operate with the taxpayer during | these strenuous times and give | those having a hard time to pay every opportunity possible. Wo don’t believe the authorities will be criticized and that those affected will greatly appreciate the con sideration given them. A few years ago it looked as if sugar beets would never again bo raised in tliis community. Now Hie trouble is assigning the territory to the ficldmen who have re- . quests for more acreage than tlie company can contract for. Such is the change and tlie response to the Central Sugar company’s fair dealing with farmers and beet growers. Last year proved beyond a —

doubt that the crop was one of the moat profitable raised and the fel low who isn't interested in making a few hundred berries these days , just can't be found. The township trustees are cooperating with the Adams County Medical Association anil the county health nurses in bringing to public attention the diphtheria immunization campaign. They will provide the local agencies with lists of those who are entitled to the toxid injections free and assist wherever possible in raising the health standards in this county. The dentists are also offering their services in the free examination of the children'll teeth and much good should result in the campaign in this county. We had the pleasure of giving the once over to a resume of the activities of a local sorority during the past year and were struck with the enthusiasm which marked the accomplishment of several worthyundertakings. These young women sponsored many activities during I the year, raised money to carry out certain endeavors, helped the poor and evidently had a good time doing if, Women’s enthusiasm is higher than that of men it seems. I They like to do the details, so very . important in getting things done | and ia the local case their particiI pation meant cooperation in doing I works of charity and lending a helping hand to others. No wonder President Roosevelt recognized the ability of women by naming one of them to his cabinet and selecting another as minister to a foreign nation. Recently we listened to a pastor admonish his parishioners with the timely advice that the church was no place where personal differences should enter. Os all places, cautioned the pastor, the church is one place where the spirit of charity should be shown and personal .scraps or dislikes should bo left soutside the door. It would be better if such were the case in all other organizations. Personal animosities generally bring the downfall, not only of the individual but the organization where such feeling exists. Were not preaching now, but wish to add the advice that if a person is not a good loser he has no business carrying on a personal fight in order to try to accomplish some selfish purpose. -_• If the civil works program is! carried on next winter the sugges- i tion has been made that the gov-, eminent help eliminate dangerous ’ railroad crossings throughout the ’ country. A more worthy project could not be found. But why confine it to railroad crossings only?] Why not do the same thing along | ! important state roads? Many of | .he most serious ami tragic acci- ; | dents happen at country road in-' tersections with state highways.; I Wouldn’t it be possible to tunnel | , these cross roads under the state I 'and federal roads or elevate thej | main ones’ The terrible accident | which occurred a week ago Sun-j day in which four people, two from I this county were killed, happened I when another car drove unto the | state road directly in front of the one having the right-of-way. Such tiagedica would be averted if cross roads did not cross the path of the highly traveled roads. —o Household Scrapbook —BY—ROBERTA LEE ♦ — < Wet Shoes A method for drying wet shoes is to plarte an electric light bulb in tlie shoe and turn on the current.

*Answers (iiven To Questions About Corn>lioK Indiana farmer* who tracts to reduce corn ... ivili have letww.v next year «‘‘i in adjusting their contractedlb r n the size of fields they have on to the siz< skinner, director the r farms. J. H. i'X ned'today. The.ntlnlnrum reduction required under the cor hog plan will be 20 per cent of the average corn acreage on the farm during the past two years, 19... and 1933. This base period was cha ged from three to two years in order to simplify as much •>» possible the matter of obtaining the necessary data on acreage and yield The maximum reduction on which benefit payments’will be allowed in any case will not excee 30 per cest. By making arrangements with the county corn-hog committee, a fainter can take an entire field out of production, it tlie acres range between the 20 and’ 30 per cent ot his base acreage, rather tliau to have a small part of it to handle in some inconvenient way. Benefit payments under this arrangement would be paid on tlie actual number of acns take-J out ot production instead of only on the 20 per cent. The adjustment payments on corn will he 30 cents per bushel on the estimated average production of the land taken out of core. This 30 cents is to be divided into two installments, 15 cents to be paid upon acceptance of the contract by the secretary and the other 15 cents, less local expenses, iu No. vember, 1934. If the corn yeald averaged 30 bushels per acre, the benefit payfiient would be nearly s!♦ per acre. Benefit payments on hogs will be 1 $5 per head for 75 per cent of the average production of a farm dm Ing the two years, 1932 and 1933. This payment will he divided into three installments, upon acceptance of the contract by the Secretary of Agriculture; $1 about September 1, 1934; and the remaining $2 minus local administrative costs about February 1. 1935. Corn-Hog Reduction Payments And Expenses Q. 67. What payments are made -1 to a producer who signs the con- ’’ l tract? f A. (a) The producer, who makes t the required reduction in corn ! acreage receives a payment of 30 • cents per bushel on the adjusted ■ estimated yield of corn on the con--8 traded acres, less a proportionate 8 share of administrative expenses r of the County Corn-Hog Control 1 Association: • (b) The producer who makes the I ; required reduction in hogs receives ’ i a payment of $7 per head on 75 1 | per cent of the adjusted annual ’ average number of hogs produced r for market from 1932-33 litters, less a proportionate share of administrative expenses of the County Corn-Hog Control Association. Q. 88. When will the payments be made? A. See paragraph Id of the CornHog Reduction Contract. I Q. 69. How will payments be i made? I A. All payments will be made i by check. Q. 70. Who will receive the checks? ' A. Contract signers. Q 71. Can all of the corn acreage reduction payments be obtained by a landlord who reserves a part of the corn acreage and then rents the balance of his farm in 1934, bit did ot follow such a procedure in 1933? A. No. So renting would be a breach of the contract. Q. 72. Can a 4-H Club member receive a separate payment on his Pigs ? A. No, this would not be possible as all pigs have to be included in the total numbers reported' for the-farm. Q- 73. If a farm is operated bv a crop-share or stock share tenant, . now are the payments to be divided? A. Corn payments are to be divided in accordance to the division of the 1934 crop; hog payments in accordance with the respective contributions to the 1932-33 average number of hogs produced for mar ket. Provided, however, no chaake rom the 1933 lease or tenure the farm has been made in 1934 to prevent the tenant from receiving a® great a share of the payments a ” r °eeived neder the 1933 leas? except as otherwise approved by the County Allotment Committee See Administrative Ruling N o 9 y 74. if the farm is operated bv ofX n W ‘ &nt ’ 18 °t the payments? all A n^°„ : ‘ he Caßh tenant r' UH the payments. or Q rr 75 .'. lt tho Producer is buying nieut - 1“ I or lc “de providing for «av. ni'-iit iu a fixed amount of a ( 'o h , niodity, win the seller or landio q A.
