Os course everybody regrets his escape ami it anyone is guilty in making possible his walkout, they should be punished. The farmer s income tor January is estimated at four hundred eightyfour million dollars, a snug sum ami an increase of 23 i>er cent for thOteSirhie month a year ago.

It was achievement day for the lueqtbers of the various agricultural axni farm clubs at the tenth annual meeting of the Adams County farm-

ers held at Monroe last evening Awards and medals were given to winners and due recognition given those who won in the several contests. It was a tine meeting, addressed by Lieutenant-Governor Townsend, who spoke chiefly on agriculture subjects and emphasised that better days were In store for those who tilled tbo soil and created new wealth for the nation. Each year the meetings grow more interesting and the attendance last night was proof of tho interest taken by the younger generation. Again demonstrating that fine American spirit and whole hearted desire to help his country. President Roosevelt addressed an assembly, of 4,000 people attending the NRA meetings in Washington He called on the loyal and patriotic, to stand with the government in its effort to restore industry and create employment through the National Recovery Act. His opening remarks were, “Eight and a half months ago when 1 signed the Recovery Act I said, ‘must wo go on in many groping, disorganized, sepcrate units to defeat or shall we move as one great team to victory? The President then reviewed some of the progress made, expressed his appreciation to industry and cm- j ployers for their leadership and sacrifice and concluded with, "Think back exactly one year ago today. I You know where the banks stood I at that time; you know where your business stood. That telegram is; a living illustration of the progress | we have made. Let us consolidate i our gains and let us resolve that that consolidation shall be for the continued progress and especially for the greater happiness and well being of the American people." Turning from city newspapers to! small town press exchanges that come to the editor's desk is like | stepping from the slums, full of vice, into an old-fashioned garden sweet with lavender and thyme and i the scent of perennial flowers. The pages of big dailies are so full of murder, thievery, immorality and selfishness that the better news is obscured by these glaring shatterings of the Decalogue. One puts the . papers aside with a feeling of de- . prossion and heartache that the . world is so full of terrible and nn t happy things. Then picking up the I papers that record the happenings > . of the little towns around us, one gains renewed faith in life. Here are set forth only that which upI lifts a community — the activities; i of the business men, the church > items. Hie happy social gatherings ; of the people, the marriages, births i and deaths, farmers' items, and all I tho thousand and one daily occur- • fences that make up the simple an r nals of the great common people, ’■:ho are really the foundation of this broad country of ours. Some--1 times people speak lightly of the ■ country newspaper, but it is one of I tho most potent and uplifting fac-' ' tors in our national existence. — '■ Christian Science Monitor. ; o - f• — < TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From th» Dally Democrat File • . «
