Governor Townsend and Dale McMillen have worked for years on the theory that the way to help business is to aid agriculture and their program and effort is nowbearing good truit. » President Roosevelt and Vicepresident Garner are both suffering from toothache, an ailment not! designed to make the patient feel particularly friendly with those around. Job seekers or favor hunt-' ers should postpone any proposed personal contact with these gentlemen of high office. The automobile shows are wonderful, but so far the buying has «ot been as active as a year ago. This of course is accounted for because there lias been somewhat of a lull in business generally. This will soon pass over and the people who can afford it, will want a new car. Then we will go places. Governor Townsend gave deserv-| cd and fullsome praise to Dale W. McMillen for the courage displayed in his battle tn make agriculture a business. He said —and struck a popular chord with his audience — America needs more leaders like Dale McMillen who are not afraid to do things worth while. Total membership of the Red Cross the past year was 4.904.316 and those in charge of the Roll Call are anxious to make this year's enrollment go over the five million mark. Last year's gain was 766,680. Can we make a better record? We can if every one will realize the importance of the work Dalhover admits his guilt before Judge Slick, but a jury will fix his punishment on December 6th, because the court cannot give the death sentence on a guilty plea. Certainly this diminutive bandit,] who admits having been the killer of the Brady gang, deserves no sympathy. He had none for his. victims. Senator Pat Harrison will lead a drive in congress to economize and reuuce taxes and every one who has watched Pal work during his years in congress knows that he can fight if he feels it necessary. However this should be no battle tor every one agrees that the President's suggestions are wise and reasonable. Only seven times in more than fifty years has the Red Cross called for special contributions and in each of those biases the disaster was of major importance, similar! to this year's terrific floods. Half the dollar dues is retained at home and the other fifty cents goes into the national fund with which so many fine things are done. President Roosevelt put his sev-en-point program up to congress and said: “Boys, here it is, see what you can do with it.” That he is honest and sincere goes without saying, that he is striving to I better conditions is likewise recognised. He wants the problems carefully considered and such ac- 1

Ition taken as the majority feels should be. That's good government by a good executive , I The sugar factory quit slicing ! beets yesterday after a fifty-one t day run, one of the shortest in t years, due to the floods of spring, and the blight of the late summer. | t it Is interesting to know however - |that the campaign here w-as much' » more successful in tonnage sliced j ' than at any of the mills in the I ! middle west. More than 70.000 1 > ) tons of beets went through the big - ’ plant and the season while not one! } to particularly excite any one, was proof that the men in charge do! I their best under any and all conditions. Preseldeut Roosevelt believes in action and he urges congress to take what action they deem necessary to relieve the small business man while not injuring the bigger fellow. It is to be hoped they quickly find some means of reviv- . ing the prosperity that w ; as going along so nicely until a few- weeks ago when it struck a snag that so far no one has been able to dei scribe. Most of the trouble of course comes from the same old j thing which has for centuries caus- i ed business waves —fear. A little courage now would help a lot. ! .. ~ Secretary of the Treasury Morg-i enthau believes it is time to en- ! courage business and here is what. he is advising congress to do:| Cut 706 million out of government expense to balance the budget. Do not increase taxes. Renovate the taxation system to make it actually I apply the principle of ability to pay (broaden the base of the in-1 come tax, thereby greatly increase the number of incometax payers, and at the same time correspond- ’ iugly decreases sales taxes). Encourage private industry so that the slack created by cutting government spending may be taken up and move volume to tax be created. Attention of teachers and others who may be interested is called to | the section of this paper of Mon-i day, which contained a complete story of the soy bean and sugar: industry, giving all the technical details and a description of the various processes used. It's a growing, coming business and it is i valuable information to have. Sug- t gestion has been made that teach- , ers could study this eight-page sec- 1 Ition of the paper to advantage andj' discuss it with the school children, , giving them information they can I obtain in no other way. So far as , we have been able to learn, this is the most comprehensive story of , soy beans ever published in this I country. According to announcement by Roy Beiberstine, district superin-. itendent of the state highway commission, Decatur will soon be rout-' ed on another important highway to be known as U. S. 33. It will,. however, just be a change of numbers as it will eliminate 527 and] will run over 27 from here to Fort' Wayne. It has been approved by the state department and the Am-' erican Society of Highway Engineers which means it will be a I recognized national road and that 1 means much for the future. The road will come in through Willshire and run to South Bend and ; from there on up into Michigan, making this even more important as a highway center. —o CONGRESS TODAY Senate Debates motion to consider autiI lynch bill. / Agriculture committee hears Sec-| retary Wallace on farm bill .

He could not fore-i j see the development of the great! j corporations and labor unions and I I how essential it would be for farm- ] ers to unite. “He could not foresee that farm: | buying power would be essential | jto keep city factories running. He , could not foresee the intricate web ’ of economic ties that, extending i across state boundaries, would almost completely submerge the 10-| cal phases of agricultural produc-j tion and make it more than ever, a matter of vital national concern." i The President declared that if. ; Washington had lived today “he j could have acted boldly, to keep ’ I agriculture from goiilg dowu to ‘ | ruin.” “We can be sure,” said the Presi-1 I dent, "that he would not have de-j nied to agriculture advantages) which government has so freely j granted -to industry. All his ac-! tions indicate that he would have! supported farmers in programs of' the type they have adopted. “Just as he himself shifted from one crop tobacco production to a balanced type of farming in order to save his soil, it seems almost certain that he would have favored government action to aid farmers as a group to bring their farmi lug operations ’into balance.” Tooth Still Aching I Washington.

SEEKS AID IN DISEASE FIGHT Dr. Fishbein Appeals For Aid In Veneral Disease Fight Youngstown, O , Nov. 17 —(U.R)—•' An appeal for a "campaign of teamwork" to stamp out venereal ■ ' diseases was made last night by Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the journal of the American Medical Association, in an address delivered over the National Broadcasting system. The time has come, he said, to prove to the world that under the American system of living such diseases may be treated in the same way as typhoid and diphtheria. “Considerable numbers of American cities have reported an entire year without a single death from typhoid or diphtheria." he said i "We now possess the knowledge ' necessary to secure results thatl ' will permit a similar claim in re- ' latloushlp to the veneral dis-' eases." Fishbein was introduced by Gen. Hugh S. Johnson who last week was refused permission by N.B.C. | 1 officials to broadcast on the same subject. Fishbein's address was the “frankest" discussion of social diseases ever allowed on the air. j they said “It is our feeling." Lenox R. Lohr, N.B.C. president said, “that only persons who are authorities on the subject are qualified to present the material in terms which the general listener can accept." j In Introducing Dr. Fishbein. Johnson said he had intended to | speak on the subject until inform-1 ' ed it would be delivered by an ' authority. "I have been a soldier too long i not to realize the importance of ' following orders.” he said. Dr. Fishbein reiterated warnings about the havoc wrought by ' veneral diseases. “All of us ought to know that there Is not just social diseases.” jhe said. “There are several diseases affecting the organs and tissues of men and women con-1 ‘ cerned in childbirth or in intimate personal relations. Most of these diseases are spread by human contact. Occasionally these infec- , tions are acquired innocently." "The vast majority of cases of infection with the venereal dis- , leases represent intimate conj tact,” he said. He commended Surgeon Geiier- | al Thomas Parran of the U. S. pub- ' lie health service for "bringing the j control of these diseases more prominently to the public mind." o
