Representative SCHEERER, Inc. 115 Lexington Avenue, New York 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Norman Thomas, head of the socialist party is being out radicalcd and doesn t like it a bit. He is against all these promising politicians. After sizing up the weather the past two months we are inclined to believe the old groundhog does know something about his forecasting dope. After listening to President Roosevelt n half hour Sunday night we are again convinced that you made no mistake when you selected him for the worlds biggest job. The way the G. (). I’. leaders are jumping from one meeting place to another and discussing this and

that we are inclined to the opinion I that they are not as anxious to save I the country as they are themselves. Every one who now boosts Huey Long and his wild talk about seceding from the Union do not mean it. They are hoping the Democratic party will get into such a quarrel that the outs will have a chance to get in. We are now being entertained by radio orators who promise every thing. One of them went so far the other day as to promise that if he is elected president he will get some kind of a machine and blow the dirt all back from where the recent dust storms took it. James F. Martin, postmaster at Santa Claus and a favorite of every youngster in the country, who handled more mail than most offi-i cials in cities a hundred times as large during the holiday rush, is dead. But don't worry boys and girls, his place will be tilled and your mail will be delivered as usual next Christmas for Santa Claus lives always. Compare your tax receipts to those of previous years and you should be jdeased. As a result of the gross income tax the charges '■on real and personal property have been lessened to a satisfactory low mark As prosperity returns this should continue to drop and the $1 and $1.50 rate limit is more than possible. Any way your taxes Illis spring arc less than last year and that’s always a good sign. Governor McNutt is expected home from Washington today with his mind definitely made tip as to Hie special session of the legislature. Those who favor the extra term so they can change the tax laws have finally reached the point where they say it depends on the demand for an increase in old age pensions. However since the state has a sls per month pension law it is doubtful if that would be sufficient to cause the governor to make the call. Ex-Sheriff Luuz of Allen county probably wishes he had never been persuaded to give up a good Jot* ,0 enter politics, lie has had nothing

but trouble, has lost his family, bis i possessions and his standing and is now being investigated by another grand jury after a report 1 from the state board of accounts, f His health has failed and he is having real difficulties. And his host t of friends have dwindled to a few who really liked him. There is t much to think about in his career. * Th c Evangelical conference which convened here today and » will officially open tomorrow is an ■ important event for the thousands ? of members of the church in this > 1 district. Religious and business > policies will be determined, pastors J selected for the various charges, the place for the 1936 meeting chosen and many other matters of interest determined. There will be outstanding sermons by ministers of great experience and ability and lectures by leading church workers and enthusiasts, giving our public the opportunity to hear their words and profit accordingly. No doubt the commodious church on " inChester street will be crowded at , each session and much good should come to tbe community that will be lasting. In one of his fireside talks, President Roosevelt told the people of the United States Sunday night what had been done, what he hopes to do and how he needed the cooperation of all those who really love the flag and wish democracy to live. He promised that before the year is out, the dirt will be flying on many construction jobs and that millions now unemployed, will be at work. The President talked for half an hour and urged every one to do his part that the expenditure of the vast sum may be the most efficient and cleanest example of public enterprise the world has

ever seen. President Roosevelt is ! optimistic ami his words certainly cheered the nation. This was his I first talk to the public ou affairs of state in seven months, but he has evidently been working at his job and expects to continue to do so, regardless of what unfair critics say. ♦ * s T AR SI G N A L S by OCT A VINE J For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by the Planj‘» the dailv horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer. In addition to information of general interest, it outlines information of special interest to persons born on the designated MAY 1. The day is not important. It is more fortunate for those born in the sign Aries t March 21-Aprjl 211 than for any other class. The early afternoon and late evening are most suitable for forcing your plans. The moon is very weak and will fail to inspire much enthusiasm for anything until after tomorrow. Birthdate You should develop your judgment and should train yourself not to expect so much of life. Aou should benefit through some strange happening from May through July, 1935. Your old friends may prove to be of romantic interest. ' Danger Aug. 13 through 20, 1935.
