Three weeks from tonight — Christmas eve, happiest time of the year. if you don't want to shop much, just lay aside a few dollars for the purchase of your 1936 auto plates. The Christmas merchandise is ready tor you and clerks are anxious to serve you. Make the shopping task an easy and enjoyable one by getting it done before the last week. Postmaster-General Earley in citing many reasons why President Roosevelt should be re-elected made the curt statement. "Where we were in March, 1933, and where we are now tells the real story.” Retail business in Indiana has been growing, as indicated by the number of store licenses issued. Last year 61.090 stores were licensed, while on November 30 this year, 61,616 stores hud paid stale tax. Stores do not exist unless patronage warrants their existence. The public has acted favorably to the change of bringing out the new auto models in November. Since the 1936 models have been announced, sales exceed from 30 to 60 per cent over those made formerly in January. Auto produc-' tion is the heaviest vVer and manufacturers are planning peak records next year. Chances are the potato control law will be repealed by the next congress. Since this year's crop has already been marketed, there is not much need to worry and if the law works a hardship .on the, individual, it will mure than likely | be repealed. It appears that Indi- ‘ ana, Illinois. Michigan and other | central states will not be benefited by the law and that it will increase I tile price of spuds. — — The National Youth Aduiinistrat tion in Indiana whicu is helping! nearly eight thousand boys and gills to obtain an education has recently received an allotment of $222,500 from the works progress administration This money goes to provide college jobs for youths between 16 and 25 years of age who otherwise would not have the opportunity of continuing their ( studies. Its object is vocational guidance us well as educational advancement, in Indiana 3,000 col- ' lege students are being helped and 1,700 high school pupils are receiving aid. . It appears that the Townsend spokesman took a lot for granted when he stated that President | Roosevelt wanted the S2OO pension plan to become a law before next ' summer. The President has never 1 indicated such a stand and the ] poli’ical parties will have some -I thing to say about writing their 1 own platforms. The new social j security bill, embodying the uuem- I p.luymcnt and old ago pension,' plans has just become a law aud

these will be given a chance to solve part of the present day problems. The Townsend plan sounds great, but who is going to pay the bill? THE MESSAGE OF A LITTLE STAMP: The Christmas season is herald ed throughout the laud on Thanks giving Day by the ring of carving knife against sharpening steel as savory vapors rise like incense i from the luscious brown turkey. It 1 is traditional during this period to count the blessings the year has brought aud to plan gifts that will bring joy to others as the Christian world celebrates the birth of the Christ Child. At this time too, in the great human fellowship that is the Christmas spirit, our thoughts go out to those less fortunate than ourselves. The most striking messengers that come to plead for our attention are the little Christmas Seals. This year marks their twentyninth appearance throughout the United States in the interest of the tuberculous. The message they bring, and to which it behooves all of us to give ear, is that tuberculosis is still this country's greatest public health problem. It causes 70.000 deaths annually, twice as many as automobile accidents. It is the greatest cause of death between the age of 15 and 45. It causes over a billion dollars economic loss each year. The National Tuberculosis Asso-; elation, sponsor of the Christmas Seal campaign, points out that the 1 difficulty of combating tuberculosis lies in the fact that it is not sim- I ilar to those fatal diseases whose ! names trip so familiarly across our tongues: typhoid, diphtheria, small ’ pox, and pneumonia, f atal though 1 these diseases are, they all have the common feature of developing ■ suddenly, and within a brief time ' achieving a crisis that decides the I case. Tuberculosis, on the other hand, develops slowly without any i distinguishing symptoms. No medicipe has yet becu discovered that will cure it, and the only known method of cure is the slow 1 convalescence of days spent resting in bed. During jts period of active development within the bu man body the germs of tuberculosis are given off through the nose and mouth. They spread silently, lint with deadly accuracy to others, and thus the cycle is begun again. I Christmas Seals offer the upper- , tunity to help others, to protect ’ ourselves, and to spread the message of good will to men by their appearance on our Christmas letters. cards and packages. We heartily endorse the spirit of the statement "It takes Christmas Seals to make it Christmas mail.' o * —• Modern Etiquette 1 Bv ROBERTA LEE ... - - » I .

He said: "My government has issued inI vitations to the governments of other countries which were par- , ties to the Washington and London naval treaties 'o attend a 1 conference at London this month i with a view to conclusion of a new international treaty for limitation of naval armaments. I have learned with satisfaction that all I the invitations to this conference . have been accepted and I trust I that its labors will lie crowned with success." After this paragraph. tin Icing devoted the following one to the! i national defense : "The fulfillment of our inter-1 ‘national obligaations under ■ the j covenant, no less than the ade- . quate sateguarling of my empire, makes it urgently necessary that the deficiencies of my defense forces should be made good. My i ministers will in due course laybefore you their proposals, winch , will be limited to the minimum I required fol these two purposes.’’ ' The rest of the speech was de- ' voted to domestic affairs—unetnI ployment relief, reorganization of the coal mining industry, including "unification of coal royalties under national control,” and otli. r topics. The king sketched the government’r plans for unemployment insurance for farm hands and development of railways, air | lines,, and educational ami social ■ services. New Peace Plan Paris.

Per. 3. — (U.ra — Premier Benito Mussolini and his cabinet, . fighting grimly to defeat the strangling penalties of tlie League of Nations, devoted themselves completely to internal affairs today at . their second meeting in 7? hours. J Activities of the ministries of i j foreign affairs, war, navy, and interior were not even 'mentioned in ■ I the communique which followed i' Urn two hour .ujectijus There were none of the warlike i defiances to the league which have ■ characterized other speeches and : meetings. , It was believed that the restraint

was due to present diplomatic negotiations, and particularly to the prospective visit of Sir Samuel lloare. British foreign secretary, to Premier Pierre Laval at Paris Ulis weekend. When today was set for the meeting, after the cabinet’s session Saturday, it was hinted that there would be a sttfFement of world importance. Not. only *"’4 present diplomatic situation, which may give last moment hope of averting the proposed oil embargo against Italy, but the throttling effect already noted of the league s present economic boycott, apparently affected the plan.
