Never in the history of this.] country has I here been a better | job done titan tthat of wiping out , tthe criminals. The tough gangs ’ have been broken up, leaders killed or sent to prison and the folks can begin to breath again without fear of being kidnaped or robbed. j Seventy per cent of the money derived from the President balls to be held over the country will remain in the community where it is secured. For that reason every one should aid by buying tickets and those in charge should hold down expenses as they will, that the largest possible profit may result. Those Roosevelt children are marrying folks and if they become discouraged or dissatisfied, evidently likewise believe in cancelling the contract and making a new one. A daughter, Mrs. Anna Dall, recently divorced, has married John Boeltinger, a former Washingtonnewspaper man. Hope they live; happy ever afterward.

The old boy may not be us slow as he looks. It's going to be tough to be caught with firearms unless you have permission from the court or police and it’s going to be worse if you try to use a machine gun or kidnap some one. In other words Indiana is going to have a law that the bandits will not care to bump up against. Similar laws in other states will tend to curb the scourge from which this nation has suffered the past several years. it’s hard to please some folks. Now many complaints are offered that if the proposed forty dollars per month pension plan is adopted a man would have to work too long to benefit from it and then would have but a short expectancy. Os course it is not expected to b c an investment, but rather a protection for old age. It looks like a sensible and splendid insurance idea and deserving of careful thought aud action by every citizen. The proposed expenditure of four billion dollars by Harold L. Ickes should bring about the employment of a great army of men now unemployed and if we are careful in the selection of projects so that the improvements become permanent we are sure it will eventually be a good thing. It should drive out any depression that is left and provide many things that we might not have for a long time. For instance if every railway crossing can be made safe, if new < roads can be built and waterways improved, no one will dispute the advantages to -be gained. 0 —- *~STARSIGNALS * By OCTAVINE «— 4 ' For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a i noted astrologer.

All America Unites To Honor Roosevelt Birthday January 30 Chicago to Have “Biggest Event Ever Held”; New York Planning Pageant; Funds to Be Used In Nation-Wide War On Infantile Paralysis.

New York. N. Y„ Jan. 19.—Amer- i ica will hold the greatest social event in its history on Jan. 30th to i honor the President's Birthday and ' to finance a uatkm-wide fight against infantile paralysis. This seemed established at head- 1 quarters for the Birthday Ball for ‘ the President here today when Col. Henry L. Doherty, national chair- , man. announced that the total num- ( ber of towns and cities holding , celebrations this year will far outnumber the total of last year. With more communities organized on Jan. Bth this year than the grand 1 total organized at the end of the ' campaign last year, and with each ’ community which held a party in ' 1934 working to out-do itself in ' 1935 everything ponits toward an event unrivalled in the history of 1 the nation. ! While small communities form Jackman, Maine to Honolulu. Ha- 1 waii, and from Cordova, Alaska to 1 Sa n Juan, Porto Rico, prepare for ’ programs that will include every local notable and will reach a cli- . max between 11:30 an 12:30 with i a nation-wide radio address by the i President himself, great population i and social centers vie jvith each other to make their ball the out- 1 standing event of the year. I Chicago Plans “Biggest” i "The biggest social ever held is i the way the Chicago committee, i under the chairmanship of Howard F. Gillette, characterizes its i birthday party for the President, and the iboast Is being backed up by elaborate plans already under way. Scene of the ball will be the city’* Internnational Amphiteatre. the largest hall in the world, with a capacity of 60,000. There, besides the ball itself, will also ibe featured the world’s largest barbecue plus a barn dance led by an old-timers’ orchestra of 80 pieces. Twenty orchestra have volunteered to play during the evening, the Chicago Musicians’ Union has donated a 100 piece band, and meat and beer are being supplied by Chicago business men. The Chicago birthday celebration will not be limited to the evening program alone. In order to swell the fund to tight infantile paralysis, banks and other public places in the city will display a total of 10,000 contribution cans to receive small contributions during the week before the Irnll. School children will make their special contributions separately, and a presidential birthday cake will lie sold at City Hall. On Jan. 30th there will also be a sports spectacle In Chicago stadium, a parade and special observances in restaurants, hotels, and night clubs. Chicago’s newspaper, transportation companies, radio stations and billboard groups are donating space to assure the success of the occasion. American Pageant Prepared In New York, a pageant that will

surpass the one on the same occa-; sion last year, numbers by some of the nation's most famous enter-1 tafners, and a distinguished list of, patronesses and committee mem-1 bers have been announced for the I Ball at the Waldorf-Astoria. Scores ' of other dances will be held simul-: taneously in the metropolitan area. | The affair at the Waldorf will j bo under the chairmanship of Mi s. George B. St. George, a cousin of the President. Masters of ceremony will ibe Deems Taylor and Dr. Louis Anspacher. The pageant, with a cast of 300 socially prominent debutant-j es, matrons and nationally known actresses, is under the direction of Lila Agnew Stewart. Heading the floor committee is Frank A. Vauderlin, Jr., and Mar-1 garet Delano, daughter of Mr. and; Mrs. Lyman Delano, and a niece j of the President, will be chairman [ of the Maids of Honor for the pageant. Through the courtesy of Mrs. Arthur Bergh, a number of Metropolitan stars will appear, including Edward Johnson and Giovanni Martinelli. The pageant, rehearsals for which are already being held, will be a symbolic presentation of Am-, erica, especially designed for the | occasion. It is considered the model fur hundreds of others which will ibe held all over the nation ou the same night at similar affairs. With costumes designed to symbolize Ute theme, America will be represented from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the Lakes to the Rio Grande. Florida and California orange groves, Oregon apple orchards, Georgia peaches, the corn and wheat belts of the middlewest, cotton fields, tobacco,copper aud iron, gold and silver and oil, will be among the nation’s resources depicted. Colors Named Silver and bluebird blue have been named as the official colors for the Waldorf Ball, as well as for more than 5.6UQ others which will be held throughout the nation uu tlve same night. While these two great population centers are organizing to make their celebrations unequalled in the size, other communities from coast to coast vie for honors with elaborate plans. Wilbur Cross, governor of Connecticut, is chairman of the .ball in Hartford, while in Columbus, 0., the newly-elected Governor. Martin L. Davey, will hold i bis inaugural ball to honor the ' President and raise funds to fight ■ infantile paralysis. . Score of other governors and hundreds of mayors are actively in- • terested in the affairs which will i be given in their states aud cities. ; National headquarters, through > General Director Carl Byolr. reports that practically all official Washington will attend the affair I in the Capital, which is under the

chairmanship of Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson. It is anticipated that every state, local and national figure will be present at one or another of the affairs when ther each their climax with the President’s address, which will be broadcast over the largest hook-up in radio history. Unlike the national Birthday Ball for the President last year, proIceeds from the 1935 affair will not !go to the Warm Springs Foundation. Seventy cents of every dollar j will be used by the community raising the money for rehabilitating I local infantile paralysis victims. 'The remaining thirty percent will Ibe given to President Roosevelt, ; who will turn it over to the PresiI dents’ Birthday Bal! Commission for Infantile Paralysis Research, under the chairmanship of Col. Henry L. Doherty. o —— County Agent Notes ♦ ♦ "Butchering time is the time to think of various ways to use the I meat.” according to Aneta Beadle, ; extension nutritionist at Purdue I University, "and those who are I butchering beef can preserve some of it by making corned beef.” Corning beef, while it is old process, is new to many who are doing their own butchering this year am* the quality of cured or corned beef will depend on the grade of meat used. Beef cuts commonly corned include the plate brisket, rump, and flank. "Care must be taken,” said Miss - Beadle, "that the meat is thoroughly cooled but not frozen. It should be cut into 5 to 6 pound pieces and sprinkled with salt, using about 10 pounds of salt to every 100 pounds of meat. It should remain in the salt for 24 hours and then should be rinsed with warm-wator and packed into clean earthenware vessels. After the meat is packed it is then covered with a brine made in the following proportions: 4 pounds of salt, 3 pounds of sugar, and 3 ounces of salt peter dissolved iu 4 gallons of boiling water. This solution, which is sufficient for 100 pounds of meat, must cool before being poured over the packed meat. "‘After the brine is poured over 1 the meat, a hardwood weight 1 should be placed on top of the meat 1 to keep it covered with the solu--1 tion and the containers should be 1 put in a cool place. The meat will be ready for use after two or three ; weeks.” Big Job for Florida Sarasota, Fla., — (UP) —An illness E in Ohio cost her 100 ' pounds in . weight, but Mrs. Ruth Pontico, tir- . cus "fat lady,” hopes to get back 1 to her normal 700 pounds this wlnt--5 er in Florida, s4he said on her arrit val here. ■- o — ■ I Bang!

Your humble correspondent thinks H would be well to make the down-town population place their cars in parking lots established as close as possible to the down town section, giving out of town and out-lying residents a chance to stop "in town” long enough to transact their ffusiuess. Your correspondent knows and has seen persons park their cars on Second street, and leave them there the bigger part of the day, especially, come to town on Saturday afternuou about six o'clock, park their cars and leave them there to sit in I end "gab" with everyone that come i along and wants to waste the time to stop and "gab” with the occupant of the car. My heart goes out in sympathy to the poor fellow who ou a rainy night, has three or four sleepy and crying youngsters in his car. He comes down Second street wildeyed wondering where the deuce be can stop long enough to pick up his wife and the groceries for next week without having the police after him for double parking. Here is a suggestion aud a map which clarify my idea. Ist—Parking lot for people employed down town, who are in the habit of leaving their cars on Second street, a half or all day at a stretch. 2nd—Zone Second street from Jackson to Jefferson streets for one hour and 15 minute parking zones as follows: West side of Second street, Jackson to Monroe, one hour. Monroe, north to alley, 15 minutes. Alley to Madison, one hour. Madison, north to Court street, 15 minutes. Court to Jefferson street, one hourr East side of Second street as follows: Jefferson, south to Court street, 15 minutes. Court to Madison, one hour. Madison to alley, 15 minutes. Alley to Monroe, one hour.
