John D. Rockefeller, Jr . seems to be a pretty good kind of fellow. To speed up the completion ofj Radio City, he will spend $12,000,- ■ 000 and provide a million man-days | of employment. It every one who can comes through in a similar way the recession will take such a jump ahead as to suddenly become , a boom. Adams county ranks fifth in the state in the unemployment census recently taken and really ranks first for all of the counties below us have less population and fewer industries. This is a., excellent showing and bears out the claim that this county is one ot the best in the entire country. Only 392 men and women reported that they are out of jobs. A good job is open for the right man as manager of th“ New York stock exchange, it will pay trom $50,000 to SIOO,OOO, but the guy who takes it will have to deliver of course. Heretofore the president of the organization has taken care of the job without delay but it has become so heavy and so important that it has been decided to hire some one to give it all his time. Congratulations to Ered Pickford and Walter Butcher of the Cloverleaf Creameries, who have been honored by the Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corporation, for having driven their trucks for live years without an accident. They will keep the signet rings awarded them and wear them witli determination to continue the splendid records. Pickford drove 200,000 miles and Butcher over 100,000 miles.

Os course the state Is spending more money now than a few years ago because of pensions, relief and care of crippled children, blind and , other unfortunate citizens.

Shake, newly appolnt■ed judge of the Indiana Supreme : Court, was widely recognized as | an astute lawyer while practicing ' law in Vincennes. As an example, bis friends tell this story . . . After the wholesale bank holdups in Spencer some years ago, in which a police officer was slain, a group of Bicknell young men were ari rested and taken to Spencer as suspects. They engaged Shake to defend them. While in jail they used various form of prefects to buy sugar, yeast, raisins, etc. from the sheriff and his wife, and finally one day the sheriff found them intoxicated trom crudely distilled | "hootch.” Meantime it was established that the young men were not involved in the robbery, but they were indicted for making moonshine. This was followed by a fanfare of publicity for the town and county officials. When the trial opened. Shake knew his I clients had no defense, and with I the judge an avowed dry, he was j up against a tough proposition. He suggested that the youths be tried together instead of separately. This pleased the court. Then he ac- . copied the jury without challenge, further incurring the favor of the j court. The prosecutor introduced ' evidence, but Shake rested his case without offering evidence. In arguments to the jury, the prosetutor talked brilliantly for an hour Then Shake arose. He frankly admitted that his clients were guilty. He spoke of the fine community which was then the center of population of the country and expressed regret over the unfavorable publicity it had received. Why. he said, wouldn't it be wisest to free i these boys, let him take them back home and spare the city of any; more notoriety in the newspapers! That was his line of argument. The jury was only out a short time before returning a "not guilty”, verdict. Afterward the judge called Shake before the bench and praised him for being so considerate of the court's time. The judge I hailed Shake's conduct as an example for local attorneys. Shake I had won against, almost unsur- . mountable odds by using his wits, i —Ray Smith, in Sign of the Times. t * TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY 111 From the Daily Democrat File II ♦- — ♦ i January 20, 1918 was Sunday.

BOY FATHER TO SUPPORT CHILD i Linton Lad Ordered By Judge To Help Support Baby Linton. Ind . Jan. 20-^U.R>-Four-teen-year-old Tommy Chapman hoped today to find a job in Detroit that will enable him to help P«>' SSO a year for the support of Betty June Lacer, 13-year-old unwed, mother of his son. Circuit Judge J. Raymond Powell ordered the young father to contribute that amount annually for 10 years or until the children are old enough to be married. Betty June can't become Tommy's bride until ' she is 15 under Indiana law. Tommy was to come before ' Judge Powell again today to sign I a bond guaranteeing payment of the money. The bond must be signed by five others. After this, the boy will return to Detroit with his father, Fred Chapman, and look for a job. Betty June and her parents. Mr. 1 and Mrs. Ben Lacer, were happy 1 that the judge had provided support money- Lacer is a WPA worker and would have had difficulty providing for the infant were it not for many sympathetic people throughout the country who sent clothes and money when they read of Betty June's predicament. The young mother, busily engaged in caring for her son, cher- | ished three hopes. She wanted Tommy to visit her ' and the baby for she hasn't seen him since last May. She hoped that the state of Indiana would grant her request for a mother's pension, thus making her the youngest mother in any state to receive such help. And she hoped for a nice new baby carriage.
