It looks as though Justice Black! is going on the Supreme Court, but | it is doubtful if he will receive the thrill he first expected from membership in this august body. The mistake was made in not launch-, ing into the investigation beforehand. The sugar beets are being delivered and with a break in weather, it is expected that the big factory of the Central Sugar Company will get in motion next Saturday. Farmers will harvest about 11.000 acres and the crop looks good. Here's hoping they receive a good return and that the company enjoys a profit sufficient to repay it for its big investment. New York has seen some great and enthusiastic crowds, but none more lively and real that the American Legion members who have taken the Empire city for their 2vtti annual convention. The Legionnaires are not permitting the vastness of the city to make everyone feel at home and the convention promises to be* one of the. most interesting ever held by this grat organization. John W. McCarty, age 81, known for his civic spirit and splendid administrations as mayor of Washington, Indiana, is dead. Mayor McCarty enjoyed a wide reputation in view of his services to his community. He was elected chief executive of his city five times and served 21 years as mayor. He assisted in building one of the finest municipal light and water plants in the state. The farmer's income for 1937 will be $9,000,000,000, an increase of more than one billion over a year ago and nearly two billion more than in 1935. Compared with 1933 it is about double. The farm policies sponsored by President Roosevelt and Secretary Wallace are now showing 'he results, much to the good of the country. With the farmer's income boosted, business in genertfl improves for purchasing power has been increased. Japan's invasion of Shanghai has had a noticeable affect on Uncle CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another.

Sam's exports io the two belllger-1 ent countries. Botb nations are spending a 10l ot money iu the United States for supplies. Our I exports to Japan this May jumped ■ to more thun two and u halt times [ our exports of May last year, or 836,177,000 in May, 1937, and $14,-. 403,000 in May, 1936. For the tirat six months of this year our exports j I to Japan amounted to $165.619,000' ! as against $93,042,000 for the comI parable period in 1936. Figures on | our exports to China are not as 1 i complete, but the department of commerce reported the total tor. six months this year was $31,355.-1 000 against $10,083,000 for the same period last year. Os course, sale of munitions has been responsible for this increased business in the Orient. Several years ago the council' passed an ordinance prohibiting the posting of bills and placards on light and telephone poles within the city limits. It is a goodj ordinance and enforced. It stopped tue nuisance of plastering the posts ; with unsightly advertising. The only thing the ordinance failed to cover was the prohibiting ot throwing of hand bills around iu the residential and business districts. | Last Saturday after the streets were swept aud cleaned, our at tention was called to the litter on j Second street, as a result of ad- [ vertising bills being distributed i among the automobiles lined up along the curb. It was natural for the auto owner to throw the paper i on the street and in an hour's. i time the effort of the street department to keep the thoroughfares clean and tidy was annulled. ‘ Why not an ordinance stopping such an abuse? A group of men of wide occupa- , tions and experiences sat visiting the other day. Conversation turn ed to unemployment—to what was causing it and to how the problem could be solved. One man related how a steel mill foreman had shown him a new piece of machinery which enabled eight men to do what SO formerly did. Another spoke of a coal loading machine; that was operated by only two men j and did as much work as 45 men could do by hand. A third man told how a printer friend had boasted of a new automatic press that enabled him to increase his pro duction with one less pressman. What had happened to the 72 steel workers? Were the 43 coal miners now on relief or had they found other employment? Where did the pressman turn when he lost his job? All men recognized the contribution of the machine age to unemployment. What was the ans-, wer? None of the men knew. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the j i Test Questions printed on Page Two '♦ 1. ,n Congress alone. 2. Friedrich Ebert. 3.

Since the beginning of the fight for Shanghai the Japanese have refuse dto permit foreign authorities to remove foodstuffs from the Japanese-controlled Hongken stec-t.-w. which is the storehouse for the international settlement. At the same time Chinese authorities in the interior have withheld rice supplies for fear they might reach the Japanese. Beef has risen since August 10 from 38 to 55 cents a pound, veal from 6" to 91, mutton from 47 to 60, pork from 41 to 60.

It was our Btll o< Rights- the popular name for the first ten amendments, which specify the con- | sUtutlonal rights and privileges of aU the people So important are the amendments that they have come to be generally considered as a part of the original Constitution. For these additions to our fundamental law there was a real and nation-wide demand It came both from the states, as such, and from individual citisens. In many states only the promise that the amendments would be included assured ratification of the Constitution. Zealous to protect the Liberty won m the Revolution, the people were determined that their personal rights should be fully protected against any possible encroachment by government Thomas Jefferson was one ot the many distinguished patriots who spoke and wrote vigorously in support of the amendments. Congress, meet mg in its first session. reflected those views. . Accordingly the amendments which now constitute our Bill of. Rights were quickly adopted in the ,
