Secretary Morgentliau, Jr., of the V. S. treasury says the monetary ■policy of the administration is an experiment, its been an experiment with most of us for years and we have never found just the proper secret of making a dollar stretch into two. Those who take the Daily Democrat by mail have until Saturday night to renew at the special price of $2.50 per year within the radius of the first zone. After that, due to increased prices of paper and material, it will be necessary to restore the old rate of $3 per year. Don't pass this up. Mrs. Wynekoop may not be guilty of the murder of her daughterin law but there is considerable evident e that she knows a lot about w hat did happen and if she so desired could pretty well clear up the mystery. Her own story on the stand will be read by many who get a certain pleasure out of the gruesome and the sensational. Wo read much about the enforcemenUof the NRA and we are anxious to comply with it. The difficulty is that we have received so manV changes in the code that we deif* know just where we stand. The average person will go on doing what he thinks is required and if the inspectors call attention to some violations, will do his best to correct them. Thai's the general attitude as we see it. Here we are right up to the time many fans hive looked forward to all year—the tournament settson of basket ball - and all over Indiana great crowds will meet at tho secttoniil centers to watch their boys skip over the floor in graceful strides to the cheers of the watchers. There will be excitement every where and the boys and girls as weil as mom and dad will be a waiting. Hie outcome. Governor McNutt says he will not lake part in the senatorial ra< e which will please every one except whoever would have received his support. There is no doubt that he can control the nomination if he so desires but lie will, he says, permit the delegates to do that and

then he will support the winner. That's good politics and just what the people expect him to say and do. If you think Governor McNutt has lost any of his oratorical powers by the unfair attacks upon him and his administration, you should have heard him at Fort Wayne the other evening. He has courage and cun say things in a plain and understandable way. He has made an excellent showing the first year of his administration and his record will be a worth while one when 'complete. For the information of those who think that Adams county has not been recognized by the stale administration we are pleased to say that twenty five appointments have been made from this county and that the Mutschler Packing Company and Central Sugar Company have received state contracts. Compare that to any showing ever made in the past and you may appreciate the fact that efforts have been made for the people of this county. I Evidently congress doesn't want that Reedsville factory. It is a plan for a government enterprise which it is claimed will compete with private industry and against that the country is strong. Printers have always felt the government ought not be in the job business but protests have always hit upon deaf ears. We hope the objections will not reach a point where it will interfere with the proposed housing proposition here and do not believe it will. The next Democratic state convention will be composed of 2,148 delegates as compared to The election commissioners will meet soon to fix the districts and then candidates for these places may tile. It is important that we select delegates who have good judgment and who know what the job is, who will carefully consider what is best” for the people and who will help to name tKhe candidates for senator and state offices, best fitted to serve. Adams coutfly will have fifteen delegates to the Democratic convention and seven to the Republican stat-3 meeting. No new precincts will be necessary in Decatur in the coming primary or in the November election, it has been decided. Howqver the county commissioners will provide additional clerks and booths in the larger precincts, so that the work of the boards may be expedited. It should be remembered that the city lias been divided tn four councilmanic districts and one from each will be elected to the council. Each I'arly will nominate four candidates I while five will be elected, giving I ihe minority at least one representative always. The new law Isomewhat complicates matters but will probably work out to the satisfaction of every one, after being given a fair trial.

Household Scrapbook * — BY—ROBERT A_LEE Drying the Hair If the hair 13 very heavy, and drying takes a long time, the following method may be used after a shampoo: Light the oven, turn the gas low, lower the oven door, and then place the electric fan on the lowered door. The warmed air will quickly dry the hair. Curtains To make the ceiling of a room loffk much higher, hang the curtains from the top of the window to the floor instead of stopping ut the* bottom of the window. Measuring Cups The methodical housewife will have two measuring cups on hand, one for wet ingredients and one for dry. It saves much time. REVISED WAGE SCALE IN CWA (CONTINUED FROM TaOE ONE) prevailing rule in tho community is close to that figure. Wages for skilled labor is to be determined by union scales, but in no instance must it fall below 75 cents an hour, the order stated. Where no unions operate, administrators were allowed to pay a scale between 75 cents and $1 per hour, subject to prevailing rates in tlic community. Semi-skilled labor will be paid a minimum of lift cents per hour and a maximum of 75 cents. Rate of pay for nurses, librarians. cataloguers and clerks under the civil works services will remain the same.

The case was appealed to the supreme court but the appeal was withdrawn a few | months ago w hen Edwards dechl-1 ed to appeal directly to the governor. McNutt took the ease under advisement until Wednesday of this week when he refused to commute the sentence to life Imprisonment. A pathetic plea for leniency was made by the 18-year-old step-son. I Influential friends of the condemn- • ed man also pleaded unsuccessfully for commutation cf the sentence. Edwards became despondent after the governor's decision was read to him. At 2a. m. yesterday a guard found liiui slumped on his cot. bleeding profusely. He was hurried to the prison hospital
