Don’t become discouraged. There are days when things don’t click, but in the long run most of the troubles we fear pass us by. The Democrats met in Indianap olis today and nominated their state ticket. The party stands united and ready for victory next November. Decatur is preparing a hearty welcome to the Indiana Grain Dealers who will assemble here Thursday for their mid summer convention. More than 300 delegates are expected and the hospitality, for which Decatur is noted will be extended them. According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, it would take a man a week to count from one ■ to one million, working fairly steady. If he continued at the same rate, he would reach one billion in 19 years, three months. If you doubt the calculation, start counting now. President Roosevelt was given a great ovation by a crowd estimated at 75,000 at Vincennes Sunday. He inspired the huge audience with his wonderful address and again proved to the world that he is a great leader. The country is not going to the bow-wows under, the leadership of Roosevelt, but is building a greater and stronger nation. The world war veterans are re-\ ceiving their bonus bonds. The bonds are being delivered by the mail carriers and if the veteran is properly registered and has filed his application, the certificates will come to him in a few days. More than $300,000 will be received by veterans in this county. It means the circulation of more money and an added impetus to business. Seen interest has been manifest! by many Adams county people in the proposed Centennial edition of the Daily Democrat.

Well beloved by 1 students and former students ' throughout the state of Indiana! ( and beyond its borders, President Bryan has long done a splendid job for the school at Bloomington. No one could conceivably merit the honor more fully than he. — Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. — One of the most ablest and sin cere civic leaders in Fort Wayne was removed with the death of Maurice C. Neizer. Mr. Neizer j was a leading citizen in his com- ■ inunity and contributed much to < its business, social and civic life., Born on a farm near Monroeville, I he carried with him a love for this section of Indiana, always said a good word for Adams county and its people anJTSiis untimely death | brings sorrow to hundreds of ’ friends in this community. He was a man among men. Governor Landon appears to be a likeable fellow, fairly successful in business and probably has made a good governor for Kansas. However he has had little training in, national affairs. His state is not one of the most progressive in the Union. Indiana. Illinois, Ohio and other mid-western states can point I to more progressive legislation dur-, ing the past three years. The' country will size up his experience i and ability and no doubt will vote in favor of keeping President j Roosevelt in the White House for! i the next four years. o r ♦ STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVINE For persons who believe that human destniy if guided by the planet,, the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

THOMAS EDISON FRIEND SLAIN D. McFarlan Moore, Noted Inventor, Killed In Own Back Yard East. Orange. N. J., June 16.— Police said today that they had learned the identity of a young man who visited the home of D. .McFarlan .Moore, inventor assort ate of Thornes A. Edison, a few hours before Moore was assassinated. The frail, gray-haired scientist’s daughter, Beatrice, who was voted most beautiful girl of the Welles ley college class of 1933, uamed the visitor and said her father told her . He was an enemy. Detectives sent to arrest him in Bloomfield, N. J., where he formi erly lived. learneX he had moved !to New York. Police there were i unable to find him. They would 1 not reveal his name. Miss Moore talked to the man at about 9 o’clock Sunday. night. I She said he was young, "courtly,” I and handsome. He wished to see . her father but showed no extreme disappointment when .Miss Moore told him the inventor had retired. From an upstairs window of the ' 18-room Moore house. Miss Moore saw the visitor walk down the street a minute later. She told her father of the call and described the ; caller. “Father said," police quoted her, "that the man was one with whom he had a quarrel over some televison work three yeans ago." Moore, 67, was credited with some of the most important developments of television apparatus, as well as with approximately 100 other electric patents. Working in General Electric company and Radio Corporation of America laboratories. he invented the gaseus .conduction lamps used in transmisI sion of facsimiles by radio, and I the first lamps used in receiving | motio npictures by radio. He started his scientific career in Edison s West Orange laboratories in 1890. Police leaped upon the clue Miss Moore gave them, for there was no other apparent explanation, in Moore's retired life and inoffensive character, for-his slayiug. He retired from active invention and ' commercial activities several years ago. saw few people, went almost j howhere. CHURCHES PLAN rommcßa ramt pact okei ■ speak at the services.

"What other taxes?" he asked. "The people of the state are entitled to know.” The G. O. P. demand for reduction of auto license fees and gasoline taxes was answered with an explanation that "Indiana pays an average less than other states but has more roads per square mile." He had an even more vigorous defense of the state government reorganization act which centralizes administration in the governor. "The efficiency and economy of the plan have demonstrated its worth," he answered. “The only thing wrong with the plan is that it originated under a Democratic administration.” In answer to Republican attacks on the Hoosier Democratic Club
