JAMES D. ADAMS CONTINUED FBOM PAGE ONI? I , upon to discus* tile part to , be played by the city merchants and Industrie* in sponsoring tho ! 141 club show and agricultural ex- ’ hiblt to be held here the first week of August. He said, "we will do all that Is necessary to make this the best fair ever held. The Jersey parish show and tho Guernsey district show will be held In conjunction with it. Tito program is not yet ' complete. It will not be an ordinary street fair. It will be educational ■ with a little fun. There will be rides and everything you want, All ' the 4-H extension clubs will participate. Thursday will be the Cloverleaf Creameries dairy day and Mr. Klepper has promised to have 25,000 people in town. The state forestry and fish and game departments have promised to bring the same exhibits they had at the state fair." Change Certain Mr. Adams in his address remarked, “Henry Ford once said, 'There is nothing as certain as ' change.' Things are changing every day. “David Hoss, the president of thtf board of trustees of Purdue University said, "if America does not utilize her leisure time created by the machine age this civilization will pass—to be surplanted later by another.’ “President Elliot of Purdue has said, 'since 1929 there have been 10,000,000 boys and girls who have attained the age of 16. By 1939 there will be 10,000,000 more. In I their hands lies the destiny of this nation. “With millions unemployed and with all the legislation of the past 50 years which has tried to increase production proven false, the truth In Henry Ford's statement is evident. “Communities must begin to recognize the Interdependence of agriculture and industry. Fiftyfive per cent of Indiana is dependent upon agriculture, a higher per-

centage than tho average for the. country, "Indiana Is the cross roads of tho ■ nation Four out of the seven na- ’ tionul highways extending from tho Pacific to the Atlantic cross Indian*. The roads are forced south by Lake Michigan and north by ‘ the mountains of Kentucky. Indiana occupies u position gift--1 ed by a balance of nature. Business ’ man here must realise that it is t smart to lend support to agricul- ■ ture. Basie Sources “There are three basic sources of wealth, land, sea and mineral. ■ Yon have here one of the most > fertile counties in the state. It Is I far superior to most territories. - This is not marginal land. Yours ■ Is a place where community effort I will make it "belter. 1 “The first consideration is to ■ make the home a better place to - live In. You have tho advantage of : your county agent and Purdue uni--1 verslty, the greatest experimental agricultural school in the world. We must use its service to niod- . ernize the homes and the farms. ,' “The happiest people in tho world should live here. You liave good schools, churches and markets. The United States department , of agriculture has said, “if a super- | lor civilization ever arrives in the 1 Western hemisphere it will be In the northern part of Indiana and ’ Ohio. It has the Calumet district to the west, which is equally distant from the iron mines to tho north and the coal mines to the south. It is backed by a solid agricultural section to feed the workers.’ Good Highways “We mils have transportation to make our civilization strong. First wo had rivers. Later they were replaced by canals which lasted only a few years before the encroachment of the railroads. During the last few years automobiles have begun to present severe competition to the railroads. A tew years I ago the automobile roads were only poor arteries to tho railroads. Now they are great thoroughfares. “The highway belongs to you. Every cent both nationally and by the state has been raised by taxpayers and motorists. “Last year the state highway commission spent over $7,000 for each working day for a total of $21,000,000. It was found the best way to give relief. “Tho only justification for this expenditure is to reduce the cost of transportation. But we think it is just as important to get you there in safety as it is to get you there at ail." Mr. Adams then stressed the im- , portant part in the state relief program played by transferring $2,500,000 of the $21,000,000 construction appropriated to the maintenance program which in three weeks had 26.000 persons on the payrolls. He said, "twenty per cent of the fatalities in automobile accidents in the state have been due to narrow culverts and bridges. Thirty per cent have been due to the narrow right of ways causing cars to crash into stationary posts, (trees, fences and the like.” Reduces Accidents He discussed the reduction in latal accidents following the state program to widen roadways in the last two years. He continued, “a year ago it was estimated if fatal accidents shall continue in the same ratio they have been in the United State, in 10 years 510,000 people will have been killed. In the six major wars the country lias been in only 300,000 persons have been killed. We have found the answer to thequestion, what is more dangerous than war. We have in our midst a thing as strong, fierce and cruel as war.” Mr. Adams compared the manner in which the news that 125 had been drowned in the ill fated Morrow Castle several months ago and the much larger number of deaths cattstfl! by the more insiduous automobile accidents. He gave his opinion that with the high speed motors of today and the attendant impossibility of quick stopping that only wide road beds will reduce accidents. He slated, "the state highway department believes the only permanent thing in a road is tho right lof awy. Any pavement will wear away. We must anticipate tho future and not have our roads become hopelessly congested as are 'those in New England and Europe where it is now cheaper to build elevated superhighways in preference to purchasing additional widths to the existing right of ways. Wider Roads “The roads in the future will be divided lanes with two strips of road 20 feet wide and 50 feet apart. The danger of head-on collision is evident with any 20 or 80 foot right of way. The railroads long ago realized the necessity of double tracks for opposite bound traffic. "A human life is worth $30,000. Only a few of the accidents on narrow road beds would pay for the cost of building the super roads of tomorrow. "We must balance nature. We must have electrification of rural , homes. Electricity will enable us to meet what will come in the , future." o < Get the Habit — Trade at Home]

CONSIDER PLAN I TO CUT COSTS Legislators In 20 States Consider Abolishing Own Jobs Chicago, Feb. S—(U.R) —Legislators of 20 states are considering abolition of at least a portion of their own jobs by reducing the sue of state legislatures, a sur-, vey by the American Legislators' association showed today. Eighteen states are interested . primarily in the unicameral, or one-house, legislature. Nebraska voters approved the unicameral plan in the November election. The new type legislature will be elected to convene Jan. 2. 1037. Most of the bills proposing uni camera! legislature* would limit the law making body to from 30 to 50 members, a reduction in some • cases of 75 per cent from the [ ’■present membership. California, Delaware. lowa, i Kansas, Maine, Missouri, North Dakota. Ohio. Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin. and Wyoming have bills pro-) posing the Nebraska plan. Bills in Montana and Michigan j would retain the two-house legis- • lature. but would reduce membership. Each of 21 proposed legislators i witoid supervise a state department as a full time job if a Washington bill were adopted The measure proposes a salary of, S4OO for each legislator-executive. | GOLD DECISION CONTINUED FROM I’Atlß ONE favorable, little need be feared I from the speculative response. On the contrary, there would bei an emphatic reaction from the depressing affect the consideration of the case by the tribunal has had on stock and commodity i markets. The court, they argue. | aware of this situation, must be watching (he market for some par-1 titular reason. The action of the court Saturday , when it broke all precedent to say i that it would not decide the gold i case at yesterday's session was i regarded as an acknowledgement of market interest even though Chief Justice Hughes said the step was taken to prevent crowding of the courtroom. Substantiation also was given the belief that the securities and exchange commission would close the market if reading of the opinions began during market hours. | It was established the commission 1 is keeping in close touch with de-1 velopments and welcomed th< j court's Saturday announcement the decision would be delayed Possibility the court would vary its routine to hand down the opinion at some unusual time was at first regarded as remote. It has gained credence within the past few days. The law places no restrictions on the court's operations in this regard. The only provision established by law Is that the court meet on the first Monday in October. Hours of sitting, hearing of argument and rendering opinions are established by practice. While going contrary to prac-1 tice would be unusual, the gold ■ case presents an unprecedented | situation. Never before has al ease of such magnitude been pend- i ing at a time when the markets j ot the world are within uiuuiehts, from the courtroom as far as the 11

■ bread to houses, to get money to give away 15 billion dollars a year to persons over 60, as “old age pen- : sion.” Plan would increase cost of living 100 per I cent for million* of persons under 60, opponent* have ; figured out.

transmission of the news is concerned. Never have facilities for handling the court's opinions been so strained to hairbreadth timing. First indications of the situa--1 tion on the supreme court regarding gold was given yesterday when, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes and Justice Willis Van Devanter failed to read opinions. Since it is customary for each justice to read at least one opin- i ion after a two weeks recess, the i development furnished the basis I : for widespread speculation. Several ded ictions were made permissible by the development. They are: 1. The court has probably arrived at a decision in the gold case and is only awaiting the completion of the opinions by the two members of the court assigned to ! write them. 2. A divided opinion probably ■ will be made, 3. Hughes may be definitely; established in the faction opposite Van Devanter in at least some of i the cases. — o ATTORNEY SAYS CONTINUED FROM RAGE ONE? : { ■ of Mrs. Bertha Hoff, a Bayside | housewife, that Reilly made his ' ' statement to the court. Hoff had testified that |

How Do You CHOOSE? EVERY time you make a purchase you make a choice. Buying a certain product may be so much a matter of habit that you don’t realize you are choosing. But the fact remains that in accepting one brand of goods you are always rejecting others; and the satisfaction you get from what you buy depends on the knowledge of quality and values that guides your selection. How do you know which bed-sheets, or which roofing material, or which radio Mill give you service you require? You can’t personally test everything you buy and compare it with all the other products in its class. But there is away to find out which brand fits your needs. The people who are most successful in their buying—who achieve the highest percentage of satisfaction from the things they own and use—are those who consistently read the advertising columns, and buy consistently advertised goods. Choosing isn’t just “guessing” when you follow the guidance of the advertisements. * ♦ ♦ You can depend on advertised goods. It pays to read the advertisements.

Fisch had brought two suitcases to her home and wanted to leave them there before he departed for Europe. The defense inference was that Fisch was trying to dispose of the ransom money by leaving it with friends. Attorney general David T. Wilentz objected that Mrs. Hoff's testimony was incompetent and immaterial, and his objection was i sustained, but not before Reilly . announced his intention to prove ' that “Isidor Fisch was the man who jumped over the cemetery wall and received the ransom money.” Reilly withdrew his witness after making no headway on his premise and then called special agent John E. Seykora. of the division of investigation, through whom I he tried to show that Dr. John F. , Condon had been examined by alienists, and that “a report on I his mental condition is on file.” .Seykora insisted he had no such report and that the man known as “Jafsie” had not been examined i by any men of his department. Previously Mrs. Maria Muller | and Mrs. Louisa Wallenburg, i matrons in the Hauptmann s little . home in the Bronx, testified to ' being present at gatherings on i November 2S, 1933 at a time when I the Bronx carpenter is accused of I passing a ransom note in GreenI wich Village. Hauptmann, they

said, was al home throughout the evening. In his examination of Seykora, Reilly did his best to picture Dr. Condon as “eccentric*’ and questioned the witness severely on his department's “failure to investigate the doctor thoroughly.” —7 Reformed Classis To Meet At Berne The annual spring meeting of the Fort Wayne Classis of the Reformed church will open this evening and continue through Wednesday and Thursday.

Are you serving a MINUS MEAL? Many wives, unknowingly, serve “minus meals.** The food is good, and well cooked. Bui it has little or no “bulk”—needed to promote regular habits. “Minus meals” frequently cause common constipation due to insufficient “bulk” in the diet. Headaches, loss of appetite and dull, spiritless days too often follow. Correct the “minus meal” by serving Kellogg’s All-Bran regularly. Its gentle “bulk” does not break down in the body as much as the fiber in fruits and vegetables. So it in more effective. All-Bran also supplies vitamin B and iron. Certainly it is safer to use this natural food in place of patent medicines. Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient. Chronic cases, with each meal. If relief is not obtained, see your doctor. All-Bran remains effective with continued use. Serve as a cereal with milk or cream, or cook into muffins, breads, waffles, etc. Get the red-and-green package at your grocer’s. — “J Made by Kellogg in tGiloyfill •' Battle Creek.
