Senator Gottschalk w ill talk about the tax issue at Democratic! headquarters tonight. Be sure to hear him. Fort Wayne is back on regular time and for the next six or seven ; months it will be possible to tell what time it is here when it is the same there. It’s time to get up political steam and from now on there will be something doing all the time in this county. Watch for announcements from time to time. The Wayne Novelty company is increasing production and adding employes with the outlook for rap- 1 id growth. We are very proud of our local industries and believe they will all prosper and grow. Taxes generally are lower now 1 than six years ago and yet we have ‘ pasesd through a period when the ' cost of relief has been the great- 1 est ever known. It's foolish to go ' back to the old fashioned method ' of placing the tax back on vour property. 1 —______ Hows your bank roll as couipar- ! ed to four years ago? Have you ' as good or better job? What about ' your prices for grain and livestock, any better? Are you getting along better than you did in 1932? If so, ' don’t you feel you owe support tn 1 Roosevelt and Townsend for tuak- ! ing it possible? ‘ The Literary Digest poll is ap- I patently being commercialized this 1 year, advertising products and be- 1 ing used in such maimer that the 1 vote is being given little attention. ' Certainly it doesn't reflect the 1 same results as do those of the ■ Scripps-Howard, Public Opinion 1 and other newspaper straw votes. Several Democratic rallies will be held over Adams county during ■ the next five weeks, definite dates and plans to be announced soon. Speeches in each township will also be arranged and a sizzling campaign will be put on. Among the speakers expected to be in the county will be several of national | note. CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address, 1

I Every teacher iu Indiana should 1 favor Townsend for governor. The state will puy 3500 of each teach era salary next year, a total ot ten million dollars. To do less will mean either reductions in the ; pay of leacber» iu schools and col--1 leges or a much higher local tax. Those who are wise wig vole tor their friends. The Red Men ot Übio, Michigan 1 and Indiana enjoyed the conven ! tlou here and said so in no un- * certain words. We are sure this community was happy to have the privilege of entertaining this fine , group of men and hope they will return. It Is the oldest fraternity J in the United States and one ot ' the good ones. Harry Woodring, former governor of Kansas and acting secretry under the late George Dern, has been appointed secretary of war, under the recess power of the President. Mr. Woodring is one of the outstanding men of the middle west, has a wonderful rec- ■ ord and his appointment will meet the approval of the people and the workers. If by any chance Governor Lan don should be elected president, ■ you know it would require months to make the necessary changes, bringing iu new men with new ideas, another change that would mean a let-down in business. It s a bad thing always and worse now when the world is in an uproar and when only trained men should be handling affairs of state. Welcome representatives of the) Parent-Teacher's Association who convene here tomorrow for the | annual meeting of the northeasternl Indiana council. The organization is one of the splendid ones, the purpose being to assist in providing better schools all the time, keeping up with other states and a little ahead, assisting the teachers and the pupils and helping iu every way they can. Raymond Springer, Republican' nominee for governor, seems to be an old fashioned promiser. He has advocated about every kind of a tax ever thought of. First he cameout for a net income tax, then changed to a sales tax, then at Wawasee a couple of weeks ago, said there would be no need of any 1 taxes. Now realizing the hole he* is in he has some kind of a spiel that uch taxes will be levied as are I uud necessary. If you want to learn for your own satisfaction how the voters feel about the coming election, we suggest you tune iu on WJR any afternoon at three and listen to "Michigan speaks." It is a radio poll being taken in every town in the state and at each session from twenty to forty voters are asked to state who they will vote for and 1 why and how they voted in the past. We have listened to several and the vote is usually about four or five to»one in favor of Roosevelt o STAR SIGNALS j -BYOCTA VINE For persons who oeileve that human destniy is guided by the plauet, the daily Iv-roscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

Devaluate Francs Faris, Sept. 28 — (U.R> — The French government intioduced its franc devaluation plan into the chamber of deputies today, met a radical insurrection which threatened the solidarity of the cabinet, and defeated a rightist effort to send the legislation back to committee for revision. Radicals in caucus, voted 32 to 28 to oppose a provision in the proposed law to adjiast the national wage scale to compensate for the fall of the Crane, although they approved 55 to 13 the rest of the legislation. But they threatened, so intense was their feeling, to withdraw their representation tn the cabinet if the sliding wage scale provision were not changed.

By ARMAND TOULOUSSE International Illustrated Newa Writer QUEBEC—Latest political development to make the Canadian headlines came with the recent announcement of an increasingly influential faction which is pledged to work for making the province of Quebec a French state within a Canadian confederation. It is the contention of this group, which numbers many younger voters and lias the support of a considerable body of the clergy, that Quebec is dominantly French and is entitled to greater share in running the government I which is now controlled by the English-Canadians. That there is some justice to their stand is evident when it is considered that in Quebec there are 2,300,000 French-Canadians—-most of them speaking only French—and only 700,000 of English ancestry. Quebec has retained much of its original French pioneer ways and their interests are in many respects different from those of the rest of Canada. Premier Favors Plan It would not be possible, nor does this young voter group urge it, to obtain complete autonomy for Quebec. It is their proposal to make the province an enclave i within the fraroswork of the i Cangowi federation. They realize that complete separation from the 1 rest of Canada is impossible and
