Attend the Democratic smoker tonight at new headquarters in the Erwin building. Congressman Beck no doubt figured out his chances of re-elec-tion were so poor he would not bother to run this year. Bring your produce to Decatur. Local merchants will be glad to wait on you and you'll find this a good place to shop. At least from the charges and counter-charges made, the Morro Castle disaster will be the cause of many damage suits. Republicans are attempting to place the name of its candidate for I lieutenant-governor on the ballot.' They are out of order there, the same as on this old deal stuff. Attorney Piquett is having a harder time getting bail for himself than it was for him to deal with Dillinger. The federal squeeze on the criminal gang is not to be laughed off. We bet President Roosevelt respects the Constitution more than those who are trying to send out the alarm that the principles of this sacred document are being violated. Following action of county councils, 47 of the 92 counties in the state have reduced the county tax levies for the next year. Savings in real estate taxes are estimated at several million dollars, a relief to those who foot the tax bills. The state clemency board has rejected the petition of Ira Barton, former sheriff of Blackford county, for a parole. The board acted wisely. No one wishes to over punish a person, nor does he enjoy seeing a man behind bars, but in this case there would have been just critiesm if the ex-officer had been granted his freedom. Those who wish to vote in November must register before October 8, providing they were not registered for the primary or have moved from their old precinct. If a voter changes precincts after October 8, he or she will lose their vote. Those who have changed precincts since the primary must register in their new location. When the house repair organization is perfected here every effort should be made to start remodel, ing and repair work. Local tradesmen are available and it's safe to venture the guess that at least 50 per cent of the homes need some remodeling or repairs. Gainful employment of this kind is one of the surest ways to get the ball going up hill.. The death of William Lorimer of Chicago, recalls the hectic political campaign leading to his dec. tion to the senate and the fight which ensued and ended in the unseating of the senator. He was known as a boss of politics, his

career ending when ousted from j congress. He could be classed as .a politician of tin old school, tts ( rule or ruin theory being part of his strategy. The Daily Democrat will appre-1 ciate it if a produce dealer or firm I furnishes readers of the paper with |; an authorative and accurate pro- 1 due-? market. We believe it would 1 • be to tbe advantage of dealers to do so. This is a rural community i and farmers are interestd in local' markets. We assure our coopera, j tion in the matter, will donate the J space required to list the report I and will see that quotations are corrected as furnished. Mrs Faye Smith-Knapp, presi-l dent of the Adams County Demecratie woman s club, has announced j the opening of fall meetings of! this popular organization, the first I being schedaled for next Thursday. ; A speaking program is being', arranged and plans for partlcipa- 1 ting in the November election will be made. The banquet will be held at the Christian church and mem-' bers will no doubt avail themselves [ of the opportunity to attend. The ! chib is one of the most active ever I formed in the county. Because of his unselfish service* to his community, his interest and ' active participation in civic affairs ■ and betterments, the death of Col.! David Foster, leaves an irreparable gap in the business and civic i life of Fort Wayne. Col. Foster was 1 one of the early pioneers in our neighboring city and in his youth had the vision to see that this part of the state was destined to grow and prosper. He lent his efforts i and talents to the promotion of 1 civic betterments and was known i as the father of the Fort Wayne park system. A veteran of the Civil war. Mr Foster had a distinguished cat per and seamed to enjoy every day of his 93 ybars. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answer! to the Teel Questions printed on Page Two. 1.

And Nelson’s 125 auto ctill parks side by side with Bette’s expensive j &edan. Few realized what was going on, but a fantastic episode at the Russ I Columbo funeral is a sample why Hollywood is nervous on such occaj sions. Out of the milling crowds 1 which surrounded the church a woman detached herself and managed to get to the pallbearers She appeared to be about 45 ar.d was dressed weirdly tn a chiffon evening (gown and sandals. She was chewing gum fiercely. To Gilbert Roland, who was nearest to her. she whispered: ‘’Where is I herRoland grot her by a ruse. In a moment she was back, questioning Bing Crosby.

Screaming, the woman ran down I the street. As the crowd gazed | wonderingly after her. the car beari ing the pallbearers slipped away. Biggest laugh at the Sigmund | Romberg farewell party was supplied by Arthur Hammerstein 11. The orchestra had been instructed , to play only Romberg numbers, but, as the party stretched on and on. finally went into the strains of "The Merry Widow Waltz”. "Here.” said Romberg. "I didn’t I write that." Hammerstein motioned him to ■ silence and flipped: "That’s all right. So many composers have, they probably thought , you’d claim It too.” The worst muffing of any recent I
