America will not become overpopulated in view of the traffic killings. The year 1936 will record about 37,500 deaths, an all time peak. President Roosevelt and Governor Landon have accepted invitations appear on the Gridiron club program. We bet Roosevelt has the best laugh. Dr. Sargas, thwarted in his attempt to engage in a hundred or' more duels, has brought suit against Hungarian newspapers, charging libel. They must have exaggerated a little. The cheery Christmas lights are going up. heralding the happy season when the whole world, seems kin. The lights will be turned on Saturday night, the advance gun in opening the shopping season here. More than a million people turned out to greet President Roosevelt in Buenos Aires yesterday, i The President is recognized the world over as the greatest leader in history and is loved because of his interest in mankind, his sin-' cerity for world peace. Every few days the headlines bring the hope that civil war in Spain will be brought to an end. | The world hopes so. but when we stop to think, Civil war in the United States lasted four years. Once started, it's hard for either side to give in. Governor McNutt is right in his stand opposed to diverting gaso-i line taxes from the highway department. The motorists are pay-' ing the tax and the money should go to improve the highways and build new ones. The truth is the road building business has just started. The junior corn king crown comes to Indiana through Willard Bainbridge and other 4-H club members of Greensburg. The exhibit of corn was adjudged the best at the International Livestock show and the Hoosier boys are happy over their honors and the' state rejoices with them.

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.

To further show its cooperation, ' the Central Sugar company is making an advance payment of : $5.50 per ton for beets delivered to the mill, an increase in amount due on the initial payment and 1 forthcoming more than two weeks t ahead of the contract date. The • company is grateful for the coop--1 eration extended the past season and by increasing the payment ! gives the fanner the advantage of * having a larger financial return on > the early delivery of beets. Sev--1 eral hundred thousand dollars will i. , reach the growers in this territory. I which fact will reflect itself in ! local trade channels. THE BOOK IS CLOSED FOR FRED ROHRER: Death has closed the active life ,of Fred Rohrer, founder of the Berne Witness, esteemed citizen, 1 militant crusader for the causes which he championed, civic and religious leader in his community. As an emigrant from Switzer- . land. Mr. Rohrer came to America . when he was 16 years old and settled in Berne, named for the town of his birth. For a halt century he was part ! of the local community and in his home town was one of the most dominant and influential citizens.' As editor, publisher and author he expressed his views and was unafraid to voice his opinions, although sometimes he might have been in the minority. Mr. Rohrer came into promin- 1 ence through his crusade in Berne against the saloon. For years his name was synonymous of the fight and to a great extent typical of the thought and expression of the people of that community. It would be as difficult to disassociate Mr. Rohrer s name from Berne as it would to remove Father I Knickerbocker from New York. i Mr. Rohrer was sincere in his work and had energy and tanacity possessed by few. He was an able editor and was recognized as an author. Although in feeble health for several years. Mr. Rohrer, kept in active touch with his newspaper office and the only time when he was not actively connected with its management was during the period when he served as postmaster of Berne. He was prominent in Republican political circles. He contributed to the civic life .of Berne, was one of those instrumental in obtaining the community building, served in other civic undertakings and above all was a devout Christian. Although , death closes an active career his work and spirit will continue to I influence the community in which he was such an active character for a half century. In newspaper parlance "30" has been written to his life's work. o FREE! If excess acid causes you Stomach Ulcers, Gas Pains, InI digestion.
