Get your Sparkling Crystall White Sugar at Decatur stores. | Stop at the RED LIGHT at the' intersection of North Second street and U. S. Road 27. Sparkling Crystal White Sugar, made in Decatur by the Central Sugar Company, by local labor and from beets grown by Adams County farmers, was placed on sale in local stores today. Ask for it in filling your grocery basket. The soft coal miner’s who walked out Monday will go back to their jobs next Tuesday. The strike lasted long enough for a vacation and it seems that everyone concerned is satisfied. If the price of coal is uot boosted, everything will be rosy. Pope Pius XI. in his broadcast to the National Eucharistic Congress in Cleveland made a plea for world peace. The pontiff appreciates the seriousness of the situation in Europe and in his talk asked all Christians to offer a pray-1 er to the Prince of Peace, interceding His help in maintaining good will among men. Probably no road crossing in the city has the traffic as the North ■ Second street and U. S. road 27 intersection. The traffic light was | placed there to protect the public.. The hundreds of trucks which go to the Sugar factory must make a left-hand turn and unless everyone observes it, serious accident will occur. Arrests will follow on sec-1 ond violation. The state highway commission improved more than 1,900 miles of road up to September 1, including construction of 113 miles of high type surface and about 35 miles of secondary treatment. It’s been a busy year for the highway department and Indiana's record is one of the best in the nation. Jimmy Adams, chairman of the commission announced that employment was given to 5.000 men in the construction and improvement of the highways. The CCC camps are among the finest constructive forces organized and maintained by the federal government. Indiana has 57 camps inhabited by 12.125 young men. They are employed In conservation, soil erosion and drainage projects. Wholesome and helpful surroundings are provided and a program of building better manhood is carried on under able supervision. Dependent parents of those enliste<j in the camps are helped financially. Despite what some political observers are saying to the contrary, President Roosevelt is not losing his popularity. This is shown in a poll being conducted by the Gannett newspapers. The vote of 34? 31(5 showed a plurality of 2,457 for

the New Deal. There were 3,583 who said they now opposed Roosevelt’s policies although they voted for him in 1933. while 3,533—a1-| most the same number —said they are new Roosevelt adherents, having not voted for him in 1932. — Hoosier Sentinel. The world’s series starting next week will present for the first time an animal act. The Tigers, crouching in their Detroit lair, will be raided by a rampaging band of Cubs from the windy stretches of I Chicago. This snarling, clawing I combination should assure the fans an exciting spectacle in the classic grapple for baseball’s premier honors. The Cubs gained the right to enter the famous series by their victory over St. Louis in the first game of yesterday's double-header, assuring them the pennant regard less of what may develop in the remaining contests. The triumph of the Chicago Nationals was popular in this section of fandom. Sport loves a contender that never acknowledges defeat, but battles doggedly until it has won in spite of overwhelming odds. The team not long ago had been almost ignored 'as a pennant claimant. Then be-1 gan that brilliant string of twenty-1 j one straight victories which start-, Icd the sports writers searching, for unused adjectives to describe! the gallop of "those amazing Cubs.”i —lndianapolis Star. o ♦- — ——♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two. 1.

DISPELLING THE FOG - ' i By Charles Michelson |<j Director of Publicity, Democratic National Committee p

Latest among the self-announced ' ; defenders of American liberty is, the "Southern Committee to Vp- : hold the Constitution,” in the per-' . son of John Henry Kirby who appears as chairman of the organization—though nobody seems to knowl how, when or where the organiza- j tion was effected. The last institution which Washington remembers as being asso- l ciated with Mr. Kirby was the Southern Tariff Association, which was complicated with the Ameri- ( can Taxpayers League and a tew ■ other organizations. looked into by the Caraway Lobby Investigation six years ago. The report of Senatory Caraway recited thus: "There is in truth nd such thing ;as a Southern Tariff Association ( or, for that matter, an American: Taxpayers League.” After reciting that John Henry Kirby was the president of the Tariff Association and J. A. Arnold vice president and general inanag- ' er, the report goes on to state that the institution ‘‘has no constitution nor bylaws, it has no mem-, bers, its officers are designated by , no organic laws: neither the term for which they serve nor the sal- j ary they are to receive is fixed by ! any instrument or agreement—but collects considerable sums of mon- ' ey.” According to Caraway’s report to I the Senate, Arnold's collections during four years exceeded a million dollars, but the utmost efforts of the Senate Committee failed to elucidate where any considerable amount of it had been expended toward the ostensible purposes of the Kirby-Arnold combination. All the Committee had before it were some alleged audits, by an accountant who was convicted and sentenced for issuing a fraudulent certificate reciting the solvency of a corporation. All records of the financial transactions were destroy- ; ed. They did, however, get a list of contributors and found thereon the Insull corporations giving sl,500, and various oTher utility companies railroads and banks, including some individuals eminent in iJonett Shouse's Liberty League chipping in a thousand apiece. • • * Mr. Kirby on the witness stand proved so evasive that the late Senator Thomae J. Walsh of Montanna finally gave it up in weariness exclaiming "Let it go; I find it impossible to get the information.” ‘‘You say you have no sucker list,” suggested Senator Blaine. “Oniy,” replied Mr. Kirby—‘‘well, I won’t say that.” What Senator Blaine referred to as a “sucker list," was perhaps the most imposing roster of big business men and corporations ever adduced in such a connection. It 'awed Senator Caraway, who iu his report set forth: “How business men of ordinary sagacity can be induced to contribute to Arnold's purpose is entirely inexplicable to your Committee. 1 He has no training or experience

• either an economist, a statistician ‘ or a tax expert that would fit him ! ! to be of service in any capacity in ’ connection with revenue legislation. He is on terms of intimacy t ! with no member of Congress so tar ( jas your Committee has been able ( to learn. He has contributed noth- ( jing toward the preparation of brief , Ito be presented to committees of ( either House, nor has he been a ( ! witness before any such, yet he ( 'gets the money, as evidenced by the list of contributors to his Amer-. iican Taxpayers League.” A memorandum found in the ' Leagues office indicated that the j i outfit paid collectors of the contri- ( ! buttons ”40 per cent on all checks ] turned in and 10 per cent on all above $100,000.” j It may be that somebody will | I complain that this is ail ancient ' history. However, the American Taxpayers League, John H. Kirby, i vTEe president, and J. A. Arnold, secretary manager, according to its letterhead, only last month issued a call on all good citizens interested in the “unalienable right of ownership” to realize their duty 'and responsibility. “To carry on a work of this mag- 1 ! nitude and importance," runs the circular, "requires funds and we i .would appreciate your cooperation Ito the extent of a ten dollar con- | tribution. Kindly make checks pay‘able to the American Taxpayers League, Inc.,” etc. The American Taxpayers League is as broad in its effort to save America as the Liberty League. The latter recently made public the findings of a group of eminent lawyers, mainly attorneys for utility companies and other disinterested groups concerned about the recent tax bill, the holding company law, htc., which had gathered to make an unbiased report on what the Supreme Court was going to do when these laws came before it. The Anierican Taxpayers League has. according to its circular “appointed a committee to give I<:onsideTats.|ii fto testing in the : courts the validity and constitutionality of the present revenue! measure and of the appropriations.” j Incidentally ft has been suggested that another group of lawyers should be assembled to deliver an opinion, equally unbiased with that ■

of the Liberty League's Legal Committee. The new group might be comi>osed of district attorneys owing their appointments to President Roosevelt. Complaint has been made with questions THe impartiality of the Liberty League’s group, on the ground that the interest of I their clients, from whom recent I Congressional hearings showed, they have had large fees, might have influenced their opinions, is there anybody so cynical, and incredulous, as to suggest that the < district attorneys might be similarly influenced if they happened to find for the Government in forecasting the Supreme Court’s verdict? Cite President Kirby of the Americau Taxpayers League is now touring the country as chairman of the SoutheYh Committee to Up- ! hold the Constitution. He aunoun- I ces that If President .Roosevelt is renominated he would prefer to ■ see a "constitutional” Republican; elected. Who. in view of Jffr. Kir-! by’s record, would question the sincerity of his patriotism and the purity of his motives? The Liberty League seems to have the same general objective, i This circumstance must not be: construed as indicating that the' two organizations are in cahoots in their activities. Indeed if Mr. Kirby or Mr. Arnold approached the Liberty League with a proposition to merge the activities of the contribution-hunt-ing "American Taxpayers League” with thoze of the more imposing body, Mr. Shouse would be likely to coldly inform the emissary that his outfit was itself working that side of the street. 0 > -< Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee Window Frames If the window frames are newly painted, run them up and down several times a day for a few days after their painting.

PROSPERITY IS DECLARED BACK Charles G. Dawes Shows How His Forecasts Have Been Proven Chicago Sept. 28 -(UP) — Business leaders today studied two zigxaglng graphs displayed by Charles G. Dawes toiprove his prediction of last December that an era of prosperity would start in July. 1935. Speaking before the Chicago association of commerce last night, Dawes said a six months sustained lise in stock market price*, and a contra-aeaaonai increase in steel production confirmed hie forecast that the depression would end this summer. One of the graphs hanging on the wall behind the former vice-presi-dent. former ambassador to England .and first chairman of the reconstruction finance corporation outlined the course of Block market prices during the depressions of 1873, 1893, and 1929. The other showed the trvnd of .pig iron production and prices during the same three depressions. In each Dawee said, prosperity reappeared when there was a sustained stock market rise for six months coupled with a corresponding gain in the output of durable goods industries ss exemplified by steel. He credited restoration of mass confidence for the market and durable goods upturn. “Maes confidence once regained is not subject to frequent oscilla-tions-as has been generally claim-
