You may think you can drive carelessly on the icy roads but sooner or‘later you will find out you are taking the same chances that every'one else does. 3= The vote on the AAA was six to three in the Supreme Court, showing that one-third of them believe the farmer has some rights to protection as well as others. They say Ben Allen is writing Mr. Hoover’s speeches, which may be considered either a political boost for him or a crack on the chin, depending upon the politics of the critic. The fellow who thought we would never have another old fashioned winter is probably con vinced by now that we can have auy thing in the weather line in this part of the country. Decatur had an ordinance twenty I years ago providing that every property owner bad to clear his sidewalk of snow and ice before nine A. M. A lot of folks are glad it was repealed for that’s about all they would have gotten done the past month. Observation of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of Decatur will be in various ways this year. A number of or- i ganizations are already planning it 1 and these of course should be culminated in a general celebration making the whole affair a more| than worth while one.

You want to know what’s going on — congress, | the legislature, politics, primaries, I conventions, elections, court news, the comics, society, sports and many other events. Renew now. Taxes in most Indiana counties will be slightly higher than last year, due to several reasons. In the first place budgets were somewhat out of order, that Is figured too low so that surpluses were’ used; second, old uge pensions Increase making more funds neces-i sary, and third, appropriations had to be made this year for the primaries and elections. Mr. Hoover fairly burns up when there is any remark tending to the idea as he outs it that “the date of creation was moved to March 4, 1933.” That no doubt was the big bugaboo of his career and he doesn’t like to be reminded of it but he may as well make up his mind that the public really does believe tha l the change on thut date was good for thr country. The president’s budget message to congress contained more Ilian ai million words and over a thousand | typewritten pages. In it lie pre-' diets that while the budget cannot be balanced this year, the debt should lie reduced more than a billion dollars, which is something, j

I The message was, of course, quite 1 technical and It will reqquire much i deciphering to make It clear. Nine thousand farm families in Indiana will receive assistance dur- ( Ing 1936 under the rural rehabilitation division of the resettlement administration. Aid will come In . loans for operating needs and by assistance in solving farm and home management problems. Also /it is announced that thousands of i farmers facing foreclosure of moil gages will be henefltted through 1 the Farm Debt Adjustment unit We seem to be around the corner of unhappiness. Another complication in the efforts of the national administration to lick the depression comes with the decision of the United States Supreme court that the AAA is unconsitutional. How far this j will effect the farm program can I not yet be definitely stated but the | President will continue his efforts I to assist the agriculturist and to put him back in an earning posi tlon. If other legislation to con form with the court ruling is necessary, it will very probably be quickly forthcoming. A state wide safety campaign under sponsorship of Purdue Uni versity will be launched soon and two hundred workers will be employed over the state during March. By checking records on habitual traffic offenders and accident repeaters, seeking out traffic hazards, operating safety clinics, j making safety posters and writing bulletins, these young men and women will cooperate with local i agencies in promoting safety tneasj ures in each community. By this method it is hoped that a big reduction in fatalities and injuries can be accomplished this year. The campaign has the support of the federal government from where I the necessary funds are to be de- | rived. | _ o « < Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.

Thai is where we are lazy. You dairymen are thinking daily. We should seek the truth. “The old McMillen companies pioneered in giving high class concentrates to farmers even though these sales cut down tlie number of bags of feed sold. This pbliey succeeded because it was right. The truth always succeeds in business. The small margin of profit we operate on here for tile benefit of yon growers is almost dangerous. The growth of the business, however, has been faster lhan anything I have ever been iassociated with. Last year we processed 700,000 bushels of soy beans. This year wc will process between 1,800,000 and 2,000,000 bushels.” Mr. McMillen closed his remarks of the evening by offering the boys and girls the following slogan which he urged tiiat they j paste on the mirrors a,nd read; aloud every morning: "This day II will beat my own record."

Speed in rushing through the con- ■ tracts was made possible through me cooperation between all per- , sons connected in the growing of . beets. Not a single protest was riled by a laborer.

County Agent Archbold today , notified the farmers to watch their daily papers for the announcement of explanatory meetings.
