Farmers say the prospects are very encouraging and that ; with a break in the weather the next two months, the crop will be fruitful. It is always gratifying to hear that the farm crops are faring well, for it means prosperity to the community. Chairman Jesse Jones of the j RgC is urging the big banks to losen up. His advice is good. With private capital working along witA the government, the pump- ■ • ® nt 1 priming program will be successful. When money is spent it creates employment and when men earn, they spend. Some of the towns around here are staging Salesmans Crusades, which has been put on very successfully in a number of places. The slogan is, "Sales Mean Jobs. Jobs Mean Sales.” The plan seems worthy of investigating and might be used in reviving fall bargains after the fair. More sales is what every merchant wants. The central tor and state highway officials are making every effort to get the streets improved and opened for general traffic. The material must season or dry out before traffic can be permitted and it is the desire of those In charge to give Decatur good streets that will not wear out in a few years. The entire improvement is costing the state about $45,000. Attorney Fay Leas of Fort Wayne has been nominated by the Democrats to fill the place of former Judge Charles Ryan on the Allen county ticker It is expected that Leas will also be named by Governor Townsend to fill the unexpired term of the deceased jurist. Leas is a well known attorney and although active in party politics, this is bis first political position.

Governor Towusend had his pic-1 ture taken wearing a motorman’s > cap. He helped dedicate the new terminal facilities in Indianapolis, which marked the establishment of a modern transport system tu , the capital city. Governor Townsed is a good fellow uud when it ’ comes to boosting Idiana business I ' and industry, is always ready to j lend a helping hand, together with his presence at dedicatory cerei monies. . The extra tetMloil o( the legislature is underway and it is beUeved that a week will see most of the emergency legislation disposed of. The state is appropriate | Ing money out of the general fund , for new buildings, grams from the WPA being obtained for the balance. It is a good bargain for the people and with the state surplus to work on, the buildings can ( be constructed without adding a penny to the lax levy. One of the proposals in the ; i special session is that no county ' shall levy more than 10 cents per ! one hundred dollar valuation for j j welfare relief, including old age . pensions and child welfare. The I | governor proposes to distribute i | two million dollars among the ■ 'counties so that the levies can be j , kept within the limit. This year, I ■ a law would not affect Ad- < ! urns county for the levy is only j ten cents. With a big increase in the budget for next year, such a . I limitation might affect the levy. — } QUEEN MARIE: Dowager Queen Marie of Rou-. ■ a remai who rose far above the role usu-; ally reserved for feminine mem-, bers of royal families. While her , influence was exercised in a dis-, ferent manner, it rivaled in import- j ance that of Dowager Queen Mary : i of England when she was the wife of George V. Queen Marie combined beauty [ ( and charm with hijtJi ability in statecraft. The last trait may have been the heritage of her Victorian parentage. She was a daughter of Queen Victoria's second son • , and relative of a Russian czar. ' thus uniting symbolically the two mighty dynastii s of Europe. With 4 such unusual equipment, she spent ' a happy youth, as her memoirs ' relate. Perhaps the sadness that visited her later years was due to the _ aggressive part she played in s I Balkan and continental politics.l i e Her ability as a matchmaker affected the fortunes of several. j Balkan countries. In some re-. a spects she exercised an authority , 1 beyond her prerogatives. She rend-' s ered a valuable service in labor- 1 1 Ing zealously to align Roumania i with the allies in the World War. | ’ She was personally indefatigable in performance of various hospital duties. Fot that activity she be-1 came one of the most respected ! royal figures of those dreary years. Queen Marie captured America | on the tour of this country in 1926. The friendly, smiling visitor quick- j ly captivated American hearts. She i may have grown weary of the, rounds of welcoming addresses; from state and local notables, but; there never was any visible abate-1 I ment of her animation. Indian-. apolis was one of the cities on her I tour. Thousands of local citizens j lined the streets over which she ; passed and several hundred at-! tended the banquet held in her; honor. The Queen also attended | services in a Roumanian church I here and received the greeting of' those who had come from her country.—lndianapolis Star. o * < | Modern Etiquette j By ROBERTA LEE Q.
