Come up for the parade, watch the masqueraders, enjoy the fun and celebrate Halloween with your friends. The rabbit hunting season will open in another 10 days. As good sportsmen ask the farmer's permission to hunt over his grounds and protect his rights as if they were your own. The Notre Dame-Ohio State game at Columbus is the feature on the football card for this weekend. Weeks ago the big stadium was sold out and one of the largest crowds since 1929 is expected. The result of the contest will probably decide the middle-west championship. This is the more daugerous time of the year for driving. More accidents occur between five and nine o'clock p. m. than at any period of the year. The days are shorter, visibility is poor and a mist seems to hang over the countryside. Be careful, is the best advise that can be offered. Every state in the Union, except six, reported increased business gains in September over a year ago. Throughout the country, reports show that improvement is continuing and at an accelerated rate in almost every industry. The advertising pages of magazines and newspapers indicate that business is better and that the public is buying. The first poll of the Institute of Public Opinion high sounding title—shows that if the election w< re held today President Roosevelt would be re-elected by a margin 53 to 47. That should convince the Institute that the people have not changed. The voters will not desert the President and we believe the Literary Digest poll, if it is taken next year, will prove that in advance of the election. Cooperate with the police offi cers in guiding traffic on Second street Thursday evening during the Halloween parade. To avoid congestion and chance of accident, the committee sponsoring the parade and community celebration ask that no cars be parked on the main street between Monroe ami Jefferson. The parade will not last more than an hour aud those who wish to view it from the sidewalk will be able to do it if the cars are not parked along the curb. In no uncertain terms the farmers of the country expressed their favor for the government's cornbog control plan, voting on the question last Saturday. The continuing of the plan carried in every state, by margins of three to one as high as 13 to one. In Adams county, signers of the agreement

this year voted 783 to 57 in favor | i of the program, which doe# not leave any doubt that the farmers favor the present control plan and want the government or its ' agency, the AAA to continue it. t — The opportunity to see Indiana's giant beet sugar refinery and the 1 allied industries of the Central ; Sugar Company, including the Cetitral Soya Company, was given an-1 other delegation of retail grocers | i from Northern Indiana today. The 1 1 grocers are the guests of the sugar ' company and this evening will be I entertained at a banquet at the De-; i catur Country Club. Decatur feels . honored In having so many visitors and delights in knowing that it has an industry of such great Importance and benefit to a wide area in this section of the country. Six years ago this week the bottom dropped out of the stock market bucket and the country was headed for the greatest depression ■ in all history. Up to that time I millions thought they could be-1 come rich by trading in paper. | bought anything that came along and before the big ‘•bust" was over most everyone was broke. It all sounds and looks foolish now and many a fellow had learned what a holding company is. The stockl market rise and the resultant break will always hold a prominent i>age in history and in a few generations younger blood will no; doubt be carried away by the same hallucinations. — o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two. ♦ «' 1.

GUARDS SIGNED CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE is pasted on the will. Darche was the maiden name of Fernekes’ mother. Police said the Mulhall woman is the divorced wife of Gus Saunders. a former associate of Fernekes now serving a sentence in the Waupun, Wi#.. state prison. The will mentions funds in the Welis Fargo Bank aud Union Trust Company, San Francisco, aud a "residue, real aud personal, wherever the same may be situated.” Police were amazed when they discovered a phial half full of poison in a secret pocket in Fernekes trousers after he had swallowed part of the poison yesterday. Captain Daniel Gilbert was explaining to newspapermen that he had discovered the secret hiding place Monday after Fernekes was arrested. He ran his thumb along the trouser seams to show there was nothing there, flushed and exclaimed:

Awarded Roosevelt Medal at "2 I- A i w ■ 1 ■'****•' 3 ”■ c Dr. William Hallock Park . X Rerent award of the Roosevelt medal for 1935 to Dr William H. Park, h*ad of the New York health department laboratories, cliulax»s a life-long career devoted to fighting infectious diseases. Dr Park is credited with perfecting a toxin against infantile paralysis which was used effectively this year to check ravages- of the disease. At 72 he continues his experiments in the soot-covered building, near the East river where he has labored for years. His fame is world-wide and today he is considered one of the most eminent hung authorities on bacteriology.

“Well, I'll be damned . . . That wasn't there when I looked last night.” Chemists who examined contents of the phial found 15 grains of potassiuum syanide, enough to kill five persons. Fernekes was believed to have gulped down an equa amount in his final scheme to trick the law. O OVER BILLION CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE work-relief program to the various states, counties aud municipalities have been: 1 A total of 3,987 applicants put up $405,844,831 to get tile $332,054,862 offered in outright gifts by the public works administration in its heavy construction program. 2. Localities are putting up 20 per cent, or $205,727,122, to augj ment the $1,028,635,612 allocated by President Roosevelt to the works progress administration tor lighter work. 3. Hopkins’ drive for added

state and local funds to help the government defray direct relief costs brought in an estimated $221,582,857 in the 1934-1935 fiscal | year, compared to $163.507 058 tor 1933-1934. a gain of $58,075,799. He has demanded, in addition, that all "unemployffbles” now on federal relief rolls be returned to local care. Some 700,000 needy families with no members able to work have bare living expenses amounting to around $15,500,000 a month. Program officials, meanwhite, spurred the transfer of able-bodied needy from the expensive relief rolls to government payrolls in an attempt to list 2,000,000 persons employed by November 1. They planned to discontinue all direct relief on December 1, a month behind the schedule originally announced by the president. o ONE ARMY AVIATOR CONTINUED FRpSI PAGE ONE investigate the cause of the crash. Gen. Robins declined to give a preliminary statement as to tho cause of the crash. The Boeing bomber was one of three types being tested by the army, along with aircraft built by the Glen L. Martin and Douglas Aircraft companies, it had been undergoing rigid tests here for several weeks. The army was to select tile bomber best suited for purchase in numbers. The Boeing plane was estimated to be worth close to $500,009. It was mostly of metai and had a maximum speed of 275 miles an hour. in addition to places for several, machine guns, it could carry fifteen 1000-pound bombs. Its four motors were of 700liorsepower each, anu weighed about 15 tons. ■ o Prune Whip Goes on Relief Boston —(UP) —ERA headquarters here probably will have to find a recipe for prune whip. With 19 carloads of prunes, the government tent along 500,000 cans of evaporated milk.

A peace plan, worked out by French and British experts at Paris and disclosed by the French foreign office, is described here as ( the formulation of a yardstick by which future Italian proposals might be judged; and incidentally one on whose basis a peacable settlement could be reached without destroying League of Nations prestige. The Paris reports that the plan I must still be accepted by Britain | seemed misleading. Rather, it , was indicated here, the plan so far as it goes is acceptable to Britain. But there is no thought that* it will be acceptable to Mussolini.
