. - Candidates are getting lined up for the primary race and within a month or so will be out on the | road, combing the county for votes.. It looks like an interesting con] test with a lot of good timber seek-: ing the offices. May the best ones! win. This newspaper promises you all a fair deal. Those early forecasters who pre , dieted this would be the worst winter in years must feel like they: have lost their prestige. So far it ] has been about as delightful a one: as was ever known here, if you prefer crisp, snappy, cloudless days to blizards, snows, sleet, ice and below zero temperature. The new parking ordinance | seems to be working and without’ many difficulties. Occasionally the ! police find someone who wants to' argue about it but in most cases,] every one seems to realize that . its an effort to control traffic for] the best interests of the public and follow instructions.

Tomorrow night will be the first opportunity to really try out the j new' traffic ordinances on a busy, Saturday night. It will give the I police some busy hours no doubt , but with just a little cooperation,; they believe they can get the rules! established so that in the future] the enforcement of lite parking i laws will be easylit face of the frantic efforts of the G. O. P. partisan press, thei poll by George Gallop through his institute of Public opinion, shows that Roosevelt is still the popular choice of 62.1% of the people. They arc standing pat behind this great man who is lighting a battle that means their continued freedom and liberty and they are not being fooled one iota.

The board of county commissioners, city officials and various cotn- ( mittecs. interested in the continued improvement of Adams county roads are in touch with the state commission and it is believed this county will be taken care of in proportion to its immediate needs. Greater Interest is the thing that counts in this Important work. President Roosevelt wants Illis nation Io spend a billion dollars for defense. In his position lie knows many things which cannot be told the public. It should StifBee that he asks for the appropriation to build an army and navy uaEurpaiised any where. Perhaps that is the best insurance for con-

tinned peace and if it brings that, | its cheap, even if the budget isn t balanced for another year or so. The federal deficit will increase I some this year because of two reasons which seem unavoidable. | First there has been u let up In buslines. the last three mouths which I will materially effect incomes and because it will be necessary to J make some audttional appropriations to avoid further depression. President Roosevelts message in--1 dicates he and his administration will do the best they can under the circumstances. Harry Walter, of Muncie, unitl] recently a hard working man, father of live fine children, con-; fessed to assisting in the kidnaping of several people at Centerville, Indiana, Christmas Eve, then, broke from his captors and jumped from a second story window at | the county jail in Richmond and was killed. His excuse that he | could not find work and needed ; money to take care of his family is scarcely a justifiable excuse for. 'such a crime. His partner, Wil-, ! liam Marcum of Newcastle, is un--1 der arrest and will face trial soon. It doesn't pay any way you figure. While it would be line for SenI ator Minton to be named to the I supreme bench to succeed Justice i Sutherland, it probably is not hi I the cards at this time. He is one I i of the president's most dependable j , men in the senate aud the chief

| executive will not likely wish to weaken his organization in the face of much important pending legislation. However, if he should 1 decide to nominate, he may rest j assured he will be pleasing the I greater number of good Indiana citizens, who recognized in Sen- | ator Minton a man of major size in every way. who would render excellent service in any position. i The mid winter meeting of the; I Indiana iiemociatii Editorial Asso-: Illation, always a delightful and : important event, will be even more iso this year. It is scheduled fori ! February 19th and one of the prill-1 cipal speakers on the program will be the former governor, Paul VMcNutt, now U. S. high commis-l ] sioner to the Philippine Islands ] ' and one of the outstanding Demo-; i cratic leaders of the country. Fre-] ,! q'tenlly mentioned in various parts’ | of the nation as a possible candi- ■ ] date for president in 1940, he will ■ ] receive a wonderful w jlcome home from the editors and their triends. It will be a great event and you

are invited. —— ! The selection of J. Dwight Pet- 1 i I erson, of Indianapolis, son of Mrs. ] J John S. Peterson of this city to be : ; a member of the board of trustees , I of Indiana University, is pleasing , j not only to his host of friends here ( ' but over the entire state, where he 1 : I is so well known. A graduate of that institution and always one of its best boosters, he will prove a board member who will take his duties seriously and work for the best interests of his beloved Alma Mater- He succeeds George A. Ball of Muncie, who resigned re-, centiy because of his many duties] and business cares. Congratulations Dwight, and congratulations I. U. The re - election of Theodore

Graliker as president, Theodore' 11 lobrock as vice-president and i Daniel Sprang as chairman of the board, R. E.

AGK ONK) greatest difficulties now." he said. 1 "He can barely purchase what he needs — prices are too high—and, | as for the man returning to the farm to start again, it is virtually hopeless. The capital requirement' is too high. “We will offer our new tractor at a price which any one can afford. With it he can do all sorts] !of work. Production is what we; need on a farm and it can only be I done with tractors.”

But what of overproduction on the farm? Hasn't the country been plagued by farm surpluses?; What of the campaign to plow un-| der? To Henry Ford there is no such, thing as a surplus. The pressure of the surplus, he believes, will force us to discover all sorts of] new uses for the annual produce of the soil. ‘‘Our laboratories are at work now.” he said, ‘‘on plans to use chemurgic products in more qnd more parts of the car. Only a few'; more experiments are necessary] until we will have perfected this! products until it will withstand a] shock as well as steel.” He called for a thin, convex] sheet of a glossy substance made ] by a chemurgic process. It had; been manufactured from soy beansi or wheat chaff. He placed it on] the floor and jumped mi it. The piece was undamaged. “If that was steel,” he said, “it] would have caved in. “Once production of this mater-! ial begins on a large scale and; we are working on that very thing: now -the demand for farm products will increase tremendously.; The farmer, instead of producing! only the things we eat, will be pro-; during materials for industry. “It is the solution of the nation’s, troubles- Get agriculture and in-; i dustry working hand lit hand, and; that will mean the tanner and] working man are partners, intcr-jj dependent on each other.” For years Henry Ford has been the trumpeter of this new ear in which the earth w'ouid provide a , solution for economic woes. ToI day's prediction of his prophesy’s imminent fulfillment recalled Ills' pioneer work in the use of farm products to make steering wheels, | gear-shift knobs, distributor coverts and other parts. ■ He highly approves the farm I i i

chemurgic council, made up of outstanding scientists interested in development of new products from agricultural materials. Now he believes he has the means by which the farmer—the little farmer —can attain a mass production basis in keeping with the demands industry soon will lay upon him for raw materials. Ford's new tractor follows none of the accepted patterns. It looks like nothing on land or sea. It has one large cleated wheel. Directly in front of it is »».e driver’s seat and a smaller wheel which serves for steering. To the left and behind the large wheel is another small one. Btween them is th engine, a Ford V-8. That’s all there is to it. Ford was asked how much the tractor would cost. “How much do you think we should charge?" he countered. "How much do you think the average farmer can afford?” He was asked if it would sell as cheaply as the Fordson tractors of the early '2o's. “It will," he said, “and less if possible. Our first tractor sold for more than SBOO and we brought that down to $375. We would like

The ; farmer must have the means, at] once, to make his business produc-] tive and profitable. If we sell our; tractor cheaply, it may bring the price of other machinery down.
