Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Hitler told his story and it no doubt registered well with many of his people, but just the same most of us wouldn't care to be in his shoes. The young man who shot and killed the postmaster at Beechwood. Indiana, while attempting to commit a burglary now wants to plead guilty on promise of life imprisonment. Surely officials would not thus barter with a criminal of his kind. He should be tried and given the limit. If the stories now coming from Hollywood are true or even partially so, its high time that Will Hays or some one else got the old cleaning brush out. The picture business can be and should be clean and wholesome. Otherwise it cannot hope to go on growing. That's the sentiment of the people I and always that's what counts after all. ? Those who axe situated so they can have been leaving San Francisco for fear of what will result when the riots reach the point where nobody cares about any thing and the mania of destruction becomes* rampant. It's “o foolish to take the attitude of disagreement and the world is hoping some one will be able to convince each side where and how a great wrong is being done. XJ<e lawyers want judges to be appointed instead of elected, hoping thus to remove the judiciary from politics and that's fine if it would do it. They argue an<J with some reason for doing so of course that too often judges are selected because of popularity while by appointment the qualifications wojuld be taken into consideration. It "will probably give the legislators - something to think about and discuss. Old timers, Republicans and Democrats, agree that the Farley Inf’S ting in Indianapolis, last Friday evening, was the largest and the most enthusiastic, ever held by cither party in this state. That every faction is working under the leadership of Omer Jackson. Governor McNutt, Senator VanNuys, Slierinan Minton and the other 1 aders was displayed beyond dispute as cheer after cheer greeted thqjn and the principal speaker. It was a great political event for midsummer and more than 2,100 were served at the banquet. Mr. Farley, while not a great orator, is a convincing speaker and held his audience every moment. He predicts a great Democratic victory this year and if this meeting was anjindication, he is right.

The Agricultural Adjustment Act will function to the benefit of the heet growers In this territory. Growers who have contracts and abide by the labor provisions as specified by the federal department, will receive benefits of more than [> one dollar an acre, in addition to whatever they net from their 50-50 contracts with the Central Sugar Company. Since the farmers did not grow beets in this teritory be- • i ween 1930 and 1933, the basic avt erage production per acre will be figured on the 1933 crop. It through drouth or other reasons the crop i j this year does not come up to l standard, the grower still has the ’ advantage of receiving the benefit payments, providing he goes ahead with the cultivation and harvesting of the crop. The government announces that growers will receive more than 10 million dollars in initial payments this year. Communities may complain about the cost of adequate and efficient tire protection, but it always is the best policy to lock the barn before the horse is stolen. The Monroe fire serves as an example. Had it not been for the pumpers front Decatur aud Berne, the entire block in which the blaze started, probably would have been consumed. Naturally Monroe cannot afford the kind or degree of lire fighting equipment that larger towns maintain. It was fortunate that the town had several large cisterns from which water was pumped and played on the blaze. Residents admit that without the aid of the pumpers it would have been impossible to combat the fast spreading flames. The loss was bad enough and sympathy goes out to those wHo suffered. We , may drift along for a year or two and not have a serious fire and might be inclined to think that we can dispense with costly fire light , ing apparatus, but when the need does arise we complain because we don't have the best. o Answers To Test Questions — | Below are the Answer* to the | Test Questions Printed | on D age Two. 1.

The tug was asked to ferry her up. The cow was placed on a small raft. About a mile from the island the cow decided to get off and walk. She floundered around in the water and a tow rope was thrown around her horns. The tug completed the trip with the cow cutting the water with her nose. 0 Get the Habit — Trade a* Home
