We invite attention to the low tax rates being made in this county and urge that credit be given where it is due. Officials are trying their best to serve you and should be earnestly supported. The stock market is unsteady! which is just as well for the greenhorns who think they can beat it. While it’s that way, few will invest and most folks certainly should turn their efforts otherwise. Help make autumn business larger than ever by advertising. It’s the one and quick way and those I who have given it fair trial, admit! It. Start this week to tell the I folks what you have to sell and why they should buy. A stock show and fall festival here next year is a worthy idea and County Agent Archbold expects to ( devote much time to completing | the plans. It should then be madej an annual event for a county like this one has a right to thus tell the world what it has. Think Mr. Hoover is trying toi build a few fences for 1936? Wise; politicians do not doubt it. How-1 ever he is perhaps so conservative that his support will have to come I entirely from a few eastern states, ' so don't bet any money on his nomination for the presidency. The Democratic ticket in Adams county is a very excellent one. i each candidate being capable and| i trustworthy. Those who are asking re-election, have records that' will bear the closest scrutiny and. those who are new to you are in I ■ every way qualified to serve. Lawyer Piquett of Chicago, who' ■ advised Dillinger and his crew. I claims that the bandit was negoti--ating to turn himself over to auth- 1 orities, if the $15,000 reward would' be paid to his father. That's probably why he was attending the pic. ture show with his foxy dame. Just some more bunk. Some of the passengers and crew , of the Morro Castle swam six; miles to shore after the ship caught fire, again demonstrating i the advantage of being able to keep going in the water. One young seaman did the trick without a life; preserver or assistance of any kind. Get the radio tuned up. It won’t be long until the world series in ; baseball will be on and then there’s j the football season with all its thrills. You can sit in your own room and enjoy these events almost as much as you can on the grounds and be considerably more comfortable. The good ship Morro Castle seems to have been doomed to an unlucky voyage. Just a few hours before the boat was struck by lightning, the captain. Robert Willmott, died suddenly from a heart attack. W. F. Harms, first chief, assumed command and was one of

the thirteen who remained aboard ' and wm reacued finally. It la just as Important that the children attend acboola and col- » leges this year aa* ovor and perhaps more so. Many great problems are ahead in thia country and they will require skill, learning ami training. It will be silly if any child who desires to educate himself is not permitted to do ao. Education is the surest method of fighting communism or anarchism and for building for the next deeI ade. If the public and the newspapers I could just let the textile strike alone, they would soon decide that the best thing to do is to return to work and help the nation get on its feet. Just what is back of this strike has not been definitely proved. but surely there is something besides the desire of the employes. As they return to work, with happy songs on their tips, every indlcaj tiou is that they just want to be let alone to earn a livelihood. Primary elections are being held today in a number of states and the politicians are all ready to dope out the results so that the best impression will be given, hoping the trend may aid in the November election. The country should rei member that to quit the New Deal now is so dangerous that even office seekers cannot afford to urge it. This is certainly a bad time to change horses or to weaken the power of Mr. Roosevelt. Maurice Early of the Indianapolis Star is all "hot and bothered" because the Democrats are discuss-! ing national issues instead of state matters. After all that seems sensible since we are to elect a senator and twelve congressmen and the most important thing to be decided this election is whether! or not we will help President I Roosevelt save the country. In due time. Governor McNutt and I others will give the voters the I truth about Indiana affairs, so there : is absolutely nothing to stew about. o— Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Text Questions printed on Page Two. 1.

paSB-B-BH— —S^SS=3PSBBS==S!— — I WAT IS a . Preventing Winter Injury of Lawns

Lawn grasses are so hardy that no damage is done to them by low temperatures alone. But extensive winter damage may result from poor drainage, and from the heaving action of alternate freezing and thawing. Water expands when frozen and contracts when it thaws, as is well known to most gardeners. Since poll is usually moist in the winter, expansion and shrinkage occur whenever freezing and thawing take place. Freezing lifts the soil, and thawing lets it drop, at the same time making it soft and wet. The action is most violent near the surface, since winter thawing is seldom deep, so that

An adequate feeding program calls for four pounds of a complete commercial plaut food at the rate of four pounds for each 100 square feet in the early spring; half this quantity six weeks later, and another application of four pounds per 100 square feet in tile early fall after the I heat of summer has passed. When watering the lawn soak it thoroughly, as sprinkling encourages the development of shallow roots, which suffer from heaving. Do not cut the grass shorter than I*4 inches or let it grow longer than three inches. LaPorte Official Quits On Request LaPorte.
