"Look daddy they're holding a prize fight,” remarked the young son as he passed one of those outdoor dancing floors. Bob Quillen remarks that “It isn't a mere living that requires so much toil. It Is the frills." And still we go on adding them. They held a peaceful election down in South America, which is real news, because it is different from former election day methods. A town that grows and increases its assessable valuation because of private improvements and more lines of business is a good town. We imagine that even Chairman Fletcher grows tired of reading the Chicago Tribune’s pet peeve on the new deal and how to run the Republican party. Indiana banks are in good financial shape, deposits are greater than any time in the past two years and a better business conditioE ie reflected in the current state report. Public confidence has been restored and things are going ahead. The manager of a Cleveland golf course in complying with a request to bar women players wearing the new shorts, also banned shirtless men. It seems that none of the players had their mind on the game. A little unusual to see pictured, a dozen bathing beauties not clad in bathing suits, but that’s the way Indiana's group of young women posed for their pictures before going to the world's fair. Should they win a prize? Pity the judge if they don't. Tillmon “Tibhy” Gehrig, popular young man of this city, will be the new commander of Adams Post No. 43 of the American Legion. His selection is a good one. He is an earnest worker and with Charlie Massonee as his first vice-com-mauder and other able officers will continue to make records for the local post. Why don't a couple states make a deal with Michigan and build an addition to the state penitentiary at Marquette, the "Little Siberia” of America and send all the bad boys up there. This place seems to be the jumping off spot on this side of the border and to our knowledge we have never read where anyone escaped from it. Now when people are talking about taxes and newspapers publish budgets and articles on the question, it should be understood that city policemen, firomen and members of the street department are paid with funds raised by taxation. Employes of the municipal plant

receive their wages from the plant itself, although salary claims are allowed by the council. The local municipal plant has aJso paid part of the salaries of th* clerk and treasurer. T The ambitious mother of Archduke Otto, may see her sob a king and the Hapsburg monarchy re--11 stored, but from her experience as the queen of the little country, we t. doubt if she will be happy. In addition Empress Zita seems to have already picked a wife for her son and hopes to strengthen her post- •> “ tioil through a marriage, with the 0 Italian princess. They play a big--5 ger game of politics and business ® over there than we do In this coun--5 try. j Wayne Coy, industrious and able young man who lias served Governor .McNutt as secretary and also the state parole board, has been named Indiana relief director to succeed William H. Book. He will continue with his other state duties 1 and it is planned to merge several of the relief departments under his charge. It will he an important post to fill, but Wayne has been > tried and tested and has never been . found wanting. His friends knowlie will make good and serve with credit to the state. i The fellows who seem to know . about it or have studied the monetary system, say the present government policy is sound and cont rect. They do not fear wild ini flation, destroying of values or . starting up of printing presses. The bonds of the country are still selling above par and the whole affair, i wide in scope and hard to under- ; stand, is however a step along good ; financing lines, authorities declare. . No president has ever wantonly strived to wreck the country and ; the nation has every reason to bes lieve -that President Roosevelt is > doing the right thing. We believe in him. o ' y CMARUy BY CMABLCY aBAMT Sometimes a feller gits bounced fer rubberin'. i 1 Goin’ on a diet will always put . a gal off her feed.

* COLNTY AGENT’S COLUMN —— • i Automatically adjustable to whatever conditions may arise, the agricultural adjustment reduction program tits the needs of the farmer, regardless of market or yield conditions. This Is the assertion of Chester C. Davis, administrator, who points out that in years of high yields the adjustment program is instrumenttai In preventing the production of price depressing surpluses, while in years of low yields, it has little effect on total production. “The virtue of the adjustment program,'’ says Mr. Davis, "lies in the fact that adjustment program reductions are large when yields are high and small when yields are low. When nature makes a heavy production cut, the adjustment program compensates by making a light production cut.” j Conditions this year, with the ' drouth seriously affecting wheat j yields, illustrate the point. AdjustIment contracts have taken about 10 per cent of the wheat land out of production. If growing conditions had been normal, the adjustment program would have made about an 85 million bushel production I from the normal yield of about 850 | million bushels. Under the unusual conditions I this year where the total produci tion of wheat is expected to be I I about 500 million bushels, no more than 550 million bushels could have been expected with out the reduction program. Benefit payments, of course, remain constant regardless of market or weather conditions. They protect the income of the farmers in years of abnormally high yields with correspondingly lower prices.
