No state provides more beautiful scenes than does this old Hoosier commonwealth during the autumn season. Look it over. About twelve hundred farmers in Decatur territory raise sugar beets and profit as a result. That’s why every one should ask for Sparkling Crystal White Sugar made in the local plant. The Cubs and Sox will fight it out again in a Chicago city series, designed apparently to get a few dollars to tide the boys over during the long winter season. The fans will have a good time throwing pop bottles at each other. It takes eight hours of labor to make a hundred pounds of sugar and twenty millions pounds are turned out each campaign by the Central Sugar Company of this city. We can all well afford to boost such an institution, first last and always. Ladies, be sure to be at the Adams theater Monday afternoon at 1:30 to 2, to get a good seat for the Daily Democrats cooking school. You will enjoy it a lot. And it’s absolutely free with no embarrassing strings and nothing to sell but good will. What Indiana makes, makes Indiana and we are turning out motors, harness, sugar, stock feeds, electfle motors, fertilizer, butter, ice cream, cheese, fine mAtts. cement articles, castings, tile and building blocks, novelties, handles, hoops, cigars and numerous other articles. Use them, demand them and help make this a better community. That's real boosting. Eire Prevention Week opens next Monday by proclamation of President Roosevelt. Its purpose is to remind the public of the huge losses each year from this source, much of which can be eliminated by care. Accumulation of trash and old paper, faulty electric wiring, bad flues, worn out heating appliances are some of the causes. Have your furnace and chimney looked after now. Cleanliness is the best fire preventative. Many people do not realize what an important industrial center this is becoming. For instance, the Cloverleaf Creameries handle 25000,000 pounds of milk a year, manufacture six million pounds of but-

I ter. a million and a half pound* of cheese, a million and a quarter pounds of buttermilk powder and thousands of gallons of the finest ico cream made any where. It's a really great outfit and aids in making this a market far above average. I The forty-sixth annual session of the Indiana Conference on Social Work is in session at Indianapolis this week end. For many years these meetings were limited to a few social workers, mostly from large cities. Now with county welfare boards, with aid tor dependent children, the blind and the needy, the problems effect every one. This year sessions are interesting and the program includes men and women of national renown. Several from here are attending. , One of the most attractive spe- \ cial editions we have seen is that of the Goshen News-Democrat, observing the one hundredth birthi day of that live and enterprising newspaper. Beautifully laid out and made up, well edited and perfectly printed, with liberal teai tures of historical interest, the publishers may well feel proud of their effort. For a century the paper has been a leading force in Elkhart county and has much to do with making Goshen one of the finest cities in the middle west. To call attention of motorists to the necessity for careful driving, a black flag, message that a death has occurred during the past twen-ty-four hours, will be hoisted on the steps of the Soldier's and Sailor's monument in Indianapolis on , those days when traffic fatalities occur. On other days a white flag will tell the story that no deaths have occurred from such accidents. That city has had 78 deaths from motor accidents this year as compared to 85 for the same period last year. However the accidents have more frequent but the occupants of cars seem to have been luckier this year. Janies A. Farley made a speech at Lansing. Michigan this week and declared that while me Democrats are having a few’ differences, they will be ironed out at ‘opr own council table.” He de- ' dared that Senator Vandeuburg can "arm the country against more dangers that never have happened and never will happen than any man in public life.” He predicts continued prosperity and greater success for the Democratic party. He asked every one to compare his bank account and his pay envelope with a few years ago and thus determine whether or not the administration had been helpful Weil Jim has proven a good guesser in the past and perhaps knows more about what he is talking now than any man in America. With the approval of the city of the plan for financing the new school building and the agreement to issue fifty thousand dollars worth of bonds, which with the school bonds and the government grant will make a total of $215,000, it really looks as though this splendid community will soon let such a contract and that work will start soon. The new building must be completed in nine months which means it will be ready for occupancy next September. The school board has already started a program to secure labor for the razing of the central building and later the west ward building will be torn down. The work is expected to progress rapidly from now on. Permanent plans will be adopted, bids will be received and a contract awarded within fourteen weeks from last Monday, to comply with the terms of the federal grant. Every agency should and will cooperate with the school board that we can secure the finest building possible for the money to be expanded. This buildiug will be used for many years and we are all deeply concerned in . having it as comfortable and as

Mr. Schultz is just about the size of Mr. Farley with an equally smooth pate and a deep husky voice. He thinks the similarity is a good joke. It serves, he said, to make a good Democrat a better one.
