You will enjoy every minute of tonight’s program at the Chamber of Commerce meeting if you get there. Plenty to eat and plenty to hear. The Chevrolet plant of General Motors last week had more than 56,DU0 men on the pay roll, a now record for them, indicating what may bo expected in that and other lines when things get to really moving one of these fine days. In four years this country lost more than forty billion dollars in her income, so that it would only take three months to get back our ten billion, even if it costs that much to get t.s out of the depression, if we can once again become normal. Whoso afraid? Any organization with the sole purpose of helping aJI the people of the community is a worth while one and that’s wiiat the Chamber of Commerce is. The membership fee is very small and we should all buckle in and make the coming year the banner one. Al this time of year win n the temperature is likely to change r.c idly, children should be warned about venturing upon the ice until older persons have c-certained whether or not it is safe. The terrible tragedy at Fort Wayne when li tie eight-year-old Jimmy McCormick walked out to the center of a pond and slipped into the water to drown, should startle every parent to be as careful as possible. The candidates continue to announce, which is their right and which is the token of a big Democratic victory. Whose afraid of a half dozen or so competitors in a race in which good fellowship exists? Go to it men and women Tlte voters will select those whom they feel best fitted to serve and with such large fields as there are in some of the races that’s going to take considerable study on the part of the voters. Every Democratic woman in Adam , county ic entitled to membership in the now Adams County Woman’s Democratic dub and you will be welcomed at the meeting to be held Thursday evening of this ■ « . i —

week when the Hon Kieth Johns, secretary of the Democratic state committee, will give the principal address. Hla talk will be interestp tag and you will enjoy the entire affair as well as many more to be held during the next year. t Looks like about every district . in the state will have one or two • candidates for the Democratic 1 nomination for senator. They are coming out now at the rate of about • one a day. So far there Is little to j mark the trend and if the conven- > tion is deadlocked, most any one 1 has a chance to walk away with ) the plum. In the meantime there 1 will be quite a little campaigning by some of the boys and there may be a surprising drift as the time for convention draws near. A half dozen from this county heard the silver tongued Senator O'Mahoney deliver a wonderful ad- ’ dress at the Democratic Editorial meeting at Indianapolis Saturday evening. The senator has had a wonderful political experience, is , a close friend to President Roosevelt and is an outstanding national figure. He explained the position of the administration clearly and aroused the big crowd in attendlance frequently with his brilliant '' oratory and his forceful reasoning. ’ The meeting was one of the best ’ every held by this old organization. A Kosiusko i entity jury has found 1 * two men who led a demonstration 1 against a forced farm sale guilty of interfering with police officers, fined them and sent them to jail. While that may seem severe to some, those who believe in law and order and who are not in favor of mob law. will agree with the jury. The laws of course must be enforced and much as we regret the terri ible losses which have come to many, both in farm and city, we do not help the matter by trying to take the law hi our own hands. Usually there is some way to compromise these matters which is best for every one. Lot’s keep our . feet on the ground The Republican national cam- . paign, designed to control con- , gross and thus take control away I from President Roosevelt is having , a tough time getting started as it should. Nothing, could be sillier for the people at this time. The . Prsident is making a gallant effort to take us cut of the depression I and has made wonderful progress 1 his first year. He will continue to I do so if we permit it and we be- . lieve the American people will , show they agree with that by re- . turning a friendly congress and ■ senate. This is certainly no time to change horses for this is an un- . usually wide and dangerous stream we arc crossing. We should support those who will uphold the hands of the chief. To do less is dangerous and very foolhardy, regardless of what a few partisans may say to you as the campaign . progresses. :—o *
