The first snow of the season marked Thanksgiving period and made the occasion all the more delightful. It won’t be long now until we are having an old fashioned winter. The merchants'were busy today with winter trade and Christmas shoppers. With only about three weeks left to get ready for the ’big holiday, those who are wise will* start preparations early. Another Saturday and another i)ig day for those merchants who have advertised in the Daily Democrat. It can’t help but bring you business for it is read by many thousands in this radius. They say that Governor Landon and Mr. Hamilton are angry w'th Mr. Hoover and that he thinks they are a couple of “duds.” All of which doesn’t auger well for the plans to reorganize and revive the G.

An organization known as Gods' Bible School in Cincinnati fed IS,- ; 000 children and 2,000 homeless I men Thanksgiving day and the menu included turkey and every thing that goes to make up a feast for that occasion. I Wally Simpson, close friend of King Edward, is receiving 300 letters a day and most of them tell her what will happen if she cOps ' the monarch, making her romance . rather exciting.

close friend of President Roosevelt, there is no med to worry over the third time bogey. Creel says the President recently told him. "On ■ January 21, 1941, when a new President takes over, I will be iu Hyde Park having the time of my 1 life." A big tough westerner drank a quart of whiskey in eleven minutes on a bet he could do it in half an hour and live. He died on the way to a hospital a few minutes later. The blood stream cun handle jtist so much alcohol and no more and when that is exceeded, no constitution can take it. The new automobile licenses will be ready and on sale December loth and it will be necessary that you have them by January Ist. Governor McNutt has ordered that no extensions be made this year and those who do not carry the new numbers cream and crimson, will be subject to arrest. Don’t put it off. For the first time in 110 years 1 there is a tie in the election of a congressman, this rare event hap-i pening in New Hampshire where Al Roy. Democrat, and Art Jenks. Republican, each received 51,679, votes. The Washington authorities believe it will be necessary to hold a special election to de termine the winner. Further proof of better times is shown in the statistics that marriages and divorces will this year reach an all time peak. During ■ the depression it seems, because' misery loves company or money for the costs was not available, the i number of both marriages and divorces was the lowest in years, off i le.iiiM) for the ten-year average. I prior to 1929. John Obettiger, son-in-law of. President Roosevelt has been nam-. cd publisher of the Seattle Postintelligencer, which causes more wonder among those who like to discuss the great and the neargreat. Obettiger is a newspaper man and a good one and probably accepted the job because it offers great opportunities, but the president probably wasn’t even consulted. The law which provides a flveyear moritorium on three-mile roads, will expire next September, but it is probable that the coming session of the legislature will extend the period. The need for the law is not as great by any means as it was in the old days when we were constructing fifteen to twenty-five miles of the roads each year. It took us out of the mud and lor that the folks in Adams county, will always be grateful. o — ♦ 4 Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed ou Page Two 1.

OUTLOOK FOR i (CONTINUED. FROM P.AOJB, <ATJ Ing 1912-14 an 100, the index figure of farm land prices per acre in Indiana on March 1, 1936, was 6(1 aa compared with 61 a year ago. It la probable that The farm land price index for Indiana on March ' 1, 1937 will show an increase for ’ the fourth consecutive year. Changes in ownership of farm real estate showed favorable trend I during the past year as indicated ’ by the number of voluntary sales reaching 21 per loot) farms in IndI iana compared with 20.2 farms for the previous year and 16.3 for 1933. The number of transfers in Indiana as a result of foreclosure of mortgages and bankruptcy declin--1000 farms in 1934 to 23.1 in 1935. ed from an average of 27.6 per 1 Similarly, changes of ownership as a result of failure to pay taxes on Indiana farm real estate declined from an average of 5.7 farms per 1000 of all farms to an average of 3.0 in 1935. The continuation programs inaugurated by the Farm Credit Administration following its organization in May. 1933. has been an important factor in contributing toward the improved farm real estate situation. Another factor cit- ’ ed as favorable to the continued increase in land values is the maintenance of comparatively lower levels of farm real estate taxes. The change in the relative trend in farm land values and tax , rates on it since 1929 is not a departure from normal but un approach toward normal. With the exception of a few lo- ■ cal areas, the drought was less severe in Indiana than in most other | competing corn belt states. Consequently, the Indiana farm i)U come for the coming year, except for the local areas, where the drought was most severe, may be improved more by the resulting higher prices than it is decreased by reduced production. An increase is expected in the cash income earned by members of the farm family employed in non-agricultur-al industries. Increase in farm net income, lower interest rates, and long time financing plans for debts will tend ■ to increase the cash available for farm families’ living in spite of the fact that farm equipment, farm buildings, automobiles, and live< stock will doubtless claim a goodly share of the increased income. Increases in cash available for family living may in part be off-set by higher prices for food and othj er commodities. Except for a rise in the price of shoes and other
