County Agent Archbold is to be commended for his work last year among the 4-H and other agriculture clubs, the climax of the year’s effort being clearly and appropriately observed at the annual meeting Monday. Congratulations are due the ■winners of the awards in the corn, Gold Medal colt and dairy cattle clubs. Outstanding records were made by the members, all of whom earned the honors accorded them. Here in Adams county, you can always depend on the farmer or dairyman doing it a little better. The Boy Scouts have a birthday this month, the 25th anniversary of the founding of the youth organlzat ion occurring Friday. A local observance will be held, sponsored by civic and church organizationsi and due recognition of the Scout and the ideal for which he stands will be given. Such programs are fine. The cost of law violation gets

back to the public. A man pleads guilty to a charge of public intoxication, the law says he shall be fined or imprisoned. The violator can’t pay the fine and the county or state must board him for the duration of the sentence. How about getting a community stone pile? The Indiana and Ohio state lines divide Union City, one side of main street in the town being in ■ Hoosierland and the other in the j Buckeye state. With Ohio passing a sales tax, merchants on the Ohio line must charge customers, while those on the other side get by free. You can imagine the fuss it is making and as Andy says, it gives ‘era a headache. Highway director Adams stated in his talk here Monday eveningl that one of the solutions or safeguards in preventing auto accidents, was building one-way traffic lanes. Those who traveled these modern type highways appreciate the advantages and the eliminating of head-on collisions. It will be the highway of the future. Indiana lost one of its leading citizens and manufacturers in the death of William Edward Show-

ers, president of the Showers I Brothers’ furniture company of Bloomington. His furniture factory was one of the largest in the Btate and many of the civic improvements in Bloomington were furthered by Mr. Showers and those associated with him. James Adams’ sincerity and devotion to the state highway post was proved in his talk at the annual Farmer’s banquet, held Monday night. Mr. Adams emphasized that the highway department was endeavoring to make the state roads safe for present day high

Speed traffic by widening the bridges and culvert heads and building shoulders along the road. Over a period of 15 years, auto acI cldents killed one-third more I’ people than all the wars In which America engaged In. The departI ment is attempting the people’s money where it will accomplish the greatest good and in Indiana Is making a record along that line, t With neaarly 8,500 miles of state road, Il’s one job to keep them in , repair and at the same time build ‘ and remodel the main traveled JI highway for the future. • I - - _ I TWO SIDES OF • UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE—--1 Unemployment insurance would not add one cent to the purchasing power of the United States, declares Virgil Jordan, distinguished economist and president of the National Industrial Conference Board, Inc., in a debate in the current Rotarian Magazine. To this, Secretary Frances Perkins of the Department of Labor replies that if unemployment insurance had been in effect several years prior to 1929, the benefit payments would have gone a long way toward stabilizing industry and reducing the severity of the depression. In normal times, Mr. Jordan points out, the unemployed fall i mainly into four groups: vagrants, i the incompetent, the chronically unemployed, and the indigent. If these are taken out of the pool of unemployment, the unemployment problem becomes of little social importance. The situation is different in a depression. ’’But,” he says, “all students of this subject : are in agreement that unemployment insurance can not take care of depressional unemployment.” Insurance, therefore, is primarily a relief measure, according to Mr. Jordan, and should be so judged. If continued into normal times it will tend to make unemployment permanent, and will impose a sej vere tax on workers. “Workers in ' insured occupations would be givlen a preferred status in society. The rest of the country, including farmers, would be paying a tribute in order to give unemployment relief as a legal right to a specially selected group.” Secretary Perkins, while admit-

ting that insurance alone is no cure-all, and will not put men back to work, defends it as a necessary instrument for social security. “Under modern conditions, it is practically impossible for the individual worker, however thrifty, to lay by, through his own efforts, sufficient to tide him over the rainy day of prolonged unemployment or loss of earnings due to sickness or advancing age.’’ The cost of unemployment insurI ance, she believes, should be conI sidered a necessary part of the overhead cost of production, and it would be a charge relatively so small as to be almost negligible. “In Great Britain,’’ says Miss Perkins, “a considerable sum of money was kept in circulation through the payment of these insurance benefits. It was spent on I the daily necessities of life, and chants from disaster.” 0 ifsTAR SIGNALS * By OCTAVINE For persons who believe that human destiny Is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

A PROCLAM

The Boy Scouts of America, in- I corporate)! February 8. 1910, and 1 charted by Congress June 15, ! 1916, have during the past twenty- 1 I five years rendered notable eervic- 1 I RS to the Nation. They have done 1 effective work in this community 1 and throughout the country. During the War their efforts on behalf of Liberty Loan und War Savings campaigns and other measures were outstanding. In time of distress from flood hurricane tornado and other disasters they have demonstrated the effectiveness of organized boy service. During the period of economic stress through which the country has just passed, they contributed in many ways to the relief of suffering and on February 10th last, at the request of the president, they undertook at a National Good Turn collection of 1 clothing and house furnishings for the relief of the needy that resulted in the alleviation of much distress and suffering throughout the nation. The Boy Scouts have not only. demonstrated their worth to the Nation, but have also contributed to a deeper appreciation by the American People of the higher con-1 ception of good citizenship. The objective of the present Ten Year Program of the Boy Scouts of merica is to provide for the naion a citizenry in which one of every of the new male citizens each year will have had at least four years of Scout training. During the past twenty-five years 6.530,330 persons through the various branches of Scouting have enjoyed Adventure, Hiking, Camping, Swimming, Woodcraft, Fellowship. Health and Safety, and have learned how to be helpful to others and have been trained to be participating citizens. During the week from February Bth to 14th, the Boy Scouts of Atnerica will celebrate their TwentyFifth Anniversary, continuing with a year of special activities including a National Jamboree in Wash-
