When they pound and pound you all you can think of is getting some place to rest a tired body and let things work out someway. In connection with the Centennial anniversary some mark should be placed along Rugg street, named for Samuel Rugg. founder of the city. An archway or other form of designation should be erected and a feaure made of the fact that Decatur has a street named for the founder. It's time we work out plans. The Daily Democrat offers the advertiser the opportunity to send his message into more than 3,200 homes in the. local trading territory. Being a reader of the paper yourself, you know they read the advertisements. Reach these readers and potential customers with your message and watch your business grow. State and city street departments work in the interest of motorists. Every precaution to safe driving is taken by the departments. one of the note worthy steps being the placing of cinders or calcium chloride at the principal street steps. Skidding is prevented and the driver and pedestrian is protected. Many will regret the killing of the AAA. Farmers throughout the country favored the control meas ure and it was generally admitted | that the measure was the life-saver ’ of agriculture In this country, j From the time the act became op-, crative, hogs and grain advanced j and the farmer was benefited. This j prosperity reflected throughout the 1 country. It's a pleasure to see so many of our loyal subscribers call at the office and renew their subscription. One old timer called yesterday and brightened our spirits by , subscribing for the paper for an out-of-town relative, stating he wished to "show them” that, his home hud a good daily newspaper. Naturally it made the whole force feel good and everybody pitched in to do a little better job. The Los Angeles Examiner comes to our desk, containing sev oral pages of pictures taken dur ing the rose bowl tournament. It was a wonderful show and attrac.l ed thousands of visitors. Another item of Interest we found was that ’he daily- paper sold tor live cents per copy, something new to this section ot the country, where three cents is top price for a newspaper Probably the Hollywood influence. The old fashioned bob sled is still up to date, but the means of I ravel is different. Around here •he sleds are hooked to an auto and instead of driving uuly a few miles into the country, the gasoline horse makes it possible for

| the enthusiasts to cover every l road within a hundred mile radius Maybe it’s not as safe as having old Dobbin hitched to the sleigh, but evidently it's more exciting. The state of Indiana and the thousands of Purdue graduates will be gratified over the honor con--1 ferred on Dr A. A Potter, dean i of the university's school of engineering. His standing in the pro- , session has been attested by unanii rnous nomination for president of ' I the American Engineering Council ’ for 1936-37. He will take office at i a threc-day meeting of national, 1 state and local engineering society delegates at Washington this week. —lndianapolis Star. Banks in this city and county continue to show a steady Increase in business and increased deposits. The First State Bank alone had deposits of more than $1,500,000 at the beginning of the year. The First Bank of Berne had nearly a million and a quarter on deposit, I while substantial increases were shown by the Farmers State Bank of Preble and by the Geneva bank. Money is gradually going to work and confidence is reflected both in the increased deposits and loans. The county commissioners have completed their organization, electing Phil Sauer, president and Frank Martin, vice-president. Mr. Martin served two years as president of the board and Mr. Saurer’s promotion to the place comes at the beginning of his second term on the board. The board has had a busy session, disposing of a number of i matters and taking up new pension applications for the coming year. The county lias been well i served by the commissioners. Boys and girls of the county 4-H clubs and members of the several dairy cattle associations were encouraged to go on with their work by Dale McMillen at the banquet served the members by the sugar and soya bean company officials. One of the reasons why Adams county pushes forward is that we have a good farming community and progressive farmers. The most valuable crop produced is the boys and girls who carry on the work and keep the business young. It’s fine to encourage and help them. Possibly the authors of the AAA and other laws which have been declared unconstitutional thought they would not pass the test, but as something had to be done favored their enactment. The control ! acts served a great purpose in l stabilizing agriculture prices, both ' for grains and livestock and alI though only of short life, performi ed miracles while they were being I enforced. The Supreme court itsi self, by its decision of six to three, proved some good could be found in the acts. It gets back to one's own opinion, arguments being for and against the constitutionality . of the measures. o — Answers To Test | * Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.
