Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Summer is about over but remember that the autumn is the, most beautiful season of the year. The coloring will soon be attracting thousands who'love the great outdoors. Don’t miss it. The campaign in Indiana is open-I Ing and in a week or two will be in full swing. Every one entitled to vote should be interested in what promises to be one of the most important campaigns and elections iu a long time. The Chicago Herald Examiner, one of the leading Hearst papers of the country has changed its make-up to a picture pamphlet. Whether it was because of too much competition or a desire to be more modern has not been made " public. The state fair is going big and it is predicted the attendance will beat all previous records. It has become a real institution in Indiana and each year hundreds of thousands enjoy the big program which has many instructive advantages as well as amusements. Vacation days are over, autumn is near, it’s time for all of us to buckle in and do our best at whatever jobs we have. The business ; outlook is better than it has been for a year, fall trade will be good, prices of farm products are average and there is much to be happy about. Keep your chin up. The annual work of preparing the tax rates for the coming year 1 is now in progress with even more difficulties than usual. The relief aria pension costs is the big item that will cause almost every unit to boost its rates. In this county we will fare better than in most places and that’s something to boast about. Sheridan Downey, who was nominated for senator by the California Democrats had the appeal of a thirty-dollar-a-week pension for persons over fifty years of age. Os course that would be a great thing for the recipients but some one must pay it some way and thats another story that still seems a dream to those who have had some business experience. Governor Townsend expressed the feelings of many thousands of people in Indiana and elsewhere when he stated his regrets that J the ranks of labor are split and that the leaders of these factions apparently prefer to battle than to cooperate. Surely a house divid-. ed will not long stand and in the meantime those who labor must be the victims. President Roosevelt may have ideas that, surprise you and you may not agree with all his policies but you must admit he has courage and unusual ability. His address in Maryland was another master piece and it will be inter*

'eating to note what effect his talk will have on the voters of that state. The latest poll shows SenJ ator Tydings the favorite almost J two to one. t There are complaints about the weeds along the county roads and t suggestions that these could be re- ' mojed by a WPA project. Os ! course its getting late now and one of these nights nature will remove I [ them by means of a heavy frost. I In several Indiana counties how- ' ever it is reported the weeds have J been practically killed by repeatied cuttings. It’s something to 1 think about when planning for i next year. The race in the National baseball league is exciting and the next ; month will keep the fans on edge 1 with Pittsburgh. Cincinnati. Chi- j cago and New York all in the run-; ning. Any thing can happen and it’s about an even bet. with the j breaks of the game playing an important part. In the American league the New York Yankees I have the pennant tucked away ' again so the world series will be • between them and the National, winner. “Home Building Gain.’’ said a ' page headline in The Wall Street Journal. "Is Most Encouraging Sign for Recovery." The Department of Labor reports that permits for home building in June were 12 per cent greater than in May. July j was 79.1 per cent above June of this year and 128.8 per cent greater than July of last year. The Wall Street Journal can hardly be • described as a New Deal newspap-, er. "There is no question," it de-1 dares, “that the activities of the ! FHA have contributed materially to the improvement of residential 1 building." We pass this on to those I whom the anti New Deal press has mesmerized into beliieving that the New Deal is continually “under- ‘ mining" business confidence. PROGRESS OF LABOR: Celebration of Labor Day in In diana took on a new meaning. It ■ meant more than a tribute to the t worker, more than an advance in i wages, more than new concessions | won by force. For the first time labor, as a ' class, could rejoice that collective bargaining is not a privilege, but a right. No longer does it have to fight and struggle to obtain the priiv-1 ilege. The law gives the priivilege 1 to labor if labor wishes to exercise I it. No one can tell any group of j employees that they cannot organ- i ize. No one can black list and, boycott a worker who joins a union. ' In Indiana it means more than this, for Gov. M. Clifford Townsend has inaugurated a program that provides means of peaceful settlement of any dispute. The workers I of Indiana can look back over a year in which reason, not force, has settled every question of difference. There has been no bloodshed, no soldiers with bayonets and bullets. !no swinging clubs of policemen, i In Indiana, a different and a bet-' i ter way has been provided to set- ’ tie the so-called labor disputes. In i asking tor the passage of the law establishing the Labor Department, the Governor said, "the time to settle disputes is before the quarrels become acute and bitterness i makes solution difficult, if not im- j 1 possible.” The Governor also declared that ; the public has an interest in every quarrel for a strike or a lockout j jof employes would close the gro-' I ceries and the stores, and reduce the sales of food by farmers. i Labor celebrated not only its 1 progress, but a year of peace under the Indiana plan. For that, thanks I 'to the Governor of the state for ; his foresight and wisdom.

MORE BENEFIT FROM PAYMENTS Removal Os $lO Clause Increases Benefits In Indiana Fort Wayne. Ind., Sept. 7.—Approximately $300,000 per week will . be put into circulation in Indiana through additional unemployment j compensation payments resulting from removal of the "$lO clause , from the Indiana unemployment compensation law, officials of the state compensation division estimated today. About $30,000 of this weekly amount probably will come into the Fort Wayne district, which ■ is composed of Allen. Wells. YY hit- , i ley and northern Adams counties. v Since the repeal took effect i c August 15, there have been 31.680 0 claims filed by persons without 5 earnings in covered employment after March 31, according to division records. Should most of these claimants be found eligible and • draw benefits for the maximum of 115 weeks, expenditures to them ' probably would not exceed $4.500.-, - 000, which is well under the maxi- | mum estimate of $7,500,000 made j by the department when the legislature was considering the repeal. r “It is likely that the weekly f I checks of those claimants will be 1 near the current average of $11.45 j I each,” said E. F. Kixiniller. deputy £ ' in charge of unemployment com- j pensation in this districit. “How- < [ever, it is probable that the average , $ duration of benefits will be shorter than that of normal claimants because of fewer months covered employment and proportionate lesser insured wages. “All benefit payments are based * on past earnings from employers | «ho contribute to the unemploy-. - ment compensation trust fund, the 1 period on which benefits are now based having started April 1, 1937 [ and ended the day of application. $ The maximum allowed by law is | sls per week, and a total of either j t 15 times the weekly benefit amount or 16 per cent of insured wages,; I whichever is the lesser. “Claims accepted in this section I since August 15 without covered I wages after March 31 numbered: I Fort Wayne. 2,832: Bluffton, 81; I Columbia City. 43; Decatur, 195; I Auburn. 68; Huntington, 237; Mar- I ion. 563. and Berne. 32. Larger, I cities reported: Indianapolis, 3.- I 268; South Bend. 3.516; Gary, 1.- I 261; Evansville, 1.448 and Muncie. , I * “There w’ere apparently 360 per-1 sons taken from the benefit rolls I in this district last week by re-1 employment, bringing the total to I date to 2,270. At the same time 6,600 beneficiaries in the state were re-employed, bringing the total to 42.800. Claims by persons laid off numbered only 3,634 in the state and 256 in Fort Wayne, four In Bluffton. 17 in Columbia City and 16 in Decatur. “Benefits paid to tally and par- | tlally unemployed insu/ed workers ' I in the Fort Wayne district topped I I half a million dollars last week, as . I 13.424 checks totaling $40,823.91 ■ I [carried the 18-week total to 41.635 j checks valued at $514,188.81.
