The merchant who does not advertise in his newspaper, may go on in his humdrum way but he will never lay much by tor the next rainy day. The ice hangs on and the car drivers will do well to continue to be as careful as possible. Taking curves at fifty is about the surest way we know to alight in a hospital. The federal grand jury in session at Fort Wayne last week, returned seventy-seven indictments, which is somewhat of a recordbreaker since the old prohibition days. Plans for the Centennial are coming along and in due time you will know all about them and what you can do to make the event the best ever held in a county of 20,000 population. Mrs. Huey Long in the senate probably means little except an appreciation by the former leader's faithful lieutenants. She won't be there long and probably won't stage any of Huey's famous filibusters. Oil wi 11, we have gotten t_,ed to tiff- cold weather, rather like it and any way don't expect any thing else for six weeks. We have reached the point that when the thermometer gets up to zero we think it's warm. The next six weeks will be busy ones for the basketball players, coaches and fans. The season is now at its heighth and will conclude next month with the big tournaments, in which the dark horses will surprise you agnin. Don't neglect to renew your subscription to the Daily Demo-, crat. We need you and we know you will enjoy reading all the events that will happen in the year. Never in history have there been so many interesting items of news and indications are that this will continue. It you need a suit of clothes, you will save money and trouble by going to your merchant or tailor and buying it, rather than io pal ronize the lottery club, being advocated by smooth salesmen. Remember they secure a good profit and you take a chance on getting any thing back. This campaign should lie more I hau just throwing Insults to each other. We will decide the future course of this country and It will be interesting to know whether the people want to run their own affairs or again turn them over to those who feel they have some special dispensation to live in luxury from the work of others.

Eight men have been found guilty in connection with soliciting money for the famous Sir Francis Drake estate and will be sent to prison. The game was the old • one of digging up supposed heirs who by paying in funds with which to fight the case, would receive . large legacies, which of course never came.

STRIKE THREAT OVER NEW YORK Threat Os Three Strikes Hovers Over New York City New York. Feb. 3 —(UP) — The threat of three strikes, which would affect hundreds of thousands, hung over New York today. Most seriously considered was the claim of Union leaden, that elevator operators and other buildingh service employes were iprepared to walk out on "Five minutes notice" unless their demands were met. Thks strike was set for today but it appeared to have been postponed temporarily pending further negotiations. It would paralize partially 1200 buildings in midtown Manhattan in a space bounded by 14 th and 42nd streets and fifth and eighth avenus. A strike has been ordered for tomorrow at 9 A M. CST for 40,00# millinery workers and meantime a temporary truce held up the threatened strike of 105.000 garment ■workers. Fear of violence that might follow the proposed strike of the elevator and other building employes led authorities to keep 2,000 extra police in the district. I One of the most heavily guarded buildings was the worlds tallest, the empire stat?. The elevator’s union has charged that empire state 'employes were coerced into joining a company union. Al Smith is President of the empire state. ■ Shortly before noon, Mayor F. HLagardia announced at city hall that he "undarstood” t lie strike call would go out today and William D. Rawlins, of the realty advisory board, an employer group, said “Some progress has been made toward a peaceful solution.'' Union officials would give no confirmation of the optimistic reports of the mayor an<f Rawlins. JOLIET GUARD (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ON gate the guard's story.

Feb. 3 —(UP) — A one-year extension of expiring neuhiality act was suggested today by [chairman Key Pittman of the Senj ate foreign relations committee. The act. expiring Feb. 29, made it mandatory for the President to embargo war materials in event of I war between two foreign nations.

INFLATIONISTS FIGHT NEW TAX Leaders Will Fight For Controlled Currency Expansion Washington. Feb. 3—(U.R) Inflationists of both house and senate rallied today to the fight for controlled currency expansion to stave off the need for new taxes.' I Farm and lion us inflationary blocs united ta.citly, at least —on a program looking toward issuance oi -'v-’e $5,219,000,000 (B) in new currency. Os this amount, $2.240,000,000 would be used to finance bonus payments to veterans. and $3,000,000,000 for the Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage refinancing hill. The big inflationary drive is expected 'to await introduction of the administration's new taxation program, expected this week. Justice and treasury department officials have been working on tax measures which might total almost $1,000,000,000. The new farm bill, made necessary by Invalidation of AAA, would account for $500,000,000 of the taxes; bonus amortization expense for a year I would total about $230,000,000; and the remainder would come in an administration effort, regarded . as likely, to recover $200,000,000 in AAA processing taxes through a retroactive law. Strategy of the bonus inflation bloc headed by Rep. Wright Patina,n. I)., Tex., called for a fight on the direct fosiue of currency expansion rather than an attempt I to attach an inflationary rider to .

the $2.249.090,(Mi1) bonus appropriation. The Pajman group decided to make no effort calculated to delay the appropriation bill. To do so would make them vulnerable to tin- charge that their inflationary attempts were delaying bonus payments tq veterans. Indications were that the Fruz-ier-Lemke bill would l>e the first intlutiomijy issue to come up for a showdown fight The petition for an immediate vote on the measure lacks only three of the 218 signatures needed. Leaders of both farm and bonus inflationary blocs disclaimed un outright agreement to combine their strength. It was inferred, however, that tile two groups would fight side by side, for currency inflation. Sen. EUaer D. 1 hoiiuis, D., Okla., leader of senate inflationary forces, summed up the situation with the significant statement: We know who our friends are and what our strength is."
