The fall rains are a little late , 11 this year and we need them. Plan to vote on election day. It’s , a grand privilege and means much. H Run that red line of the liter- , mometor up over the top this . week. i i - ... — I Only sixty-five days in which to do your Christmas shopping and some of the wise folks are already planning tor that great holiday. : Advertise it in the Daily Democrat if you want to sell it. Those who have tried the plan declare it's the best medium they have ( found. The committees are at work on . the drive to put the Krick-Tyndall fund over this week. Don't put it off any longer. Let's get this important job out of the way , i RIGHT NOW. Adams county citizens will sup- ' port Frank Thompson of Bluffton ' for state auditor. They know him as an honest, faithful and efficient citizen who will give his very best to serve the people of Indiana. i “I see nothing but recovery 1 ahead” says Roger Babson, ad- ’ mitted leading authority on bus- i iness in this country. That's discouraging news for the Republi- 1 , 1,.. .• b. [ [ ,'1,., I io’- 1 by Roosevelt At the conclusion of the factory fund campaign, a complete report will be published. That's due the ' public and it's fair for those who ' subscribe. It's a chance to really 1 show how much you think of Decatur and her working people. , The grand jury is in session and a lot of the boys have dug up their . regular excuse, “I don't remem-, her." This is a peaceful and happy community and there is usually not much for a grand jury to investigate other than misdemeanKeep Adams county and every town in it going forward. That should be tho program and is the only one that will solve the prob- 1 lems. If our people are prosper-' ous, happy and employed — and' these all go together — there will be little, if any, complaint. Clarence ‘‘Pat’’ Manion is an j orator. He is more than that, he is an educated student of economics, who believes in the priu i ciples of Democracy and tights for i it in season and out. He is one l of the most effective speakers on I the political platform today. What's the use to vote the Re- ■ publican ticket as long as the lead-1 ers of that party arc so confused as to what they stand for that they , cau't have any two make a dcclar-. at loti ou the same subject without : differing widely? If they have any i thing to sell Hie public they ought to inventory and announce what j it is. I

Put over the factory fund this week. It's a splendid opportunity to make this a better town. The money will be held in the bank until the new building is completed and ready for operation. You can’t lose. It's a cinch to better ‘ your condition and to return your contribution several times over. A check-up of the various precincts show that Chairman Nelson and his precinct committeemen have done a good job. Every one, excepting a few who for some reason or another do not care for the privilege ot voting, has been duly and legally registered. The ' vote on November Sth should be a : large one. The right-of-way agreements with the farmers in the county must and will be paid. It's a right cause for it improves miles of highways preparatory to turning them over to the state highway commission and there are few things more important than maintaining a good road system in the county. We have done it for years and will continue to do so. Decatur is a great city. It has | wonderful streets, the best lights : of any city its size in the country, | good sidewalks, numerous industries with large payrolls, a dozen . churches, new and modern and I well equipped school houses, a , city plant that earns money to keep us apace with other cities at I low tax cost. We must and will go on. Subscribe to the factory fund. “ — Gabby Hartnett is offering to trade all but four of the players I on the Cub team but his boss. Mr. Wrigley, has asked him to tune down a little as he no doubt will. The chewing gum king is not going to put up another fortune this year. He has done so in the past, usually with poor results. Now he favors training young men in min- . or leagues and then taking them' over. which is not so foolish. The best investment any community can make is to continue its desire and constant efforts to secure industries and keep them , going so they can employ men ana women and increase the business.■ That adds to the tax duplicate, i That reduces taxes by savings on ' relief. That's wise. The poorest investment any property owner orl tax payer or merchant can make is to lose interest in his community. — The enthusiasm displayed last evening at the Woman's Club ban-1 quet and the rally at the court ! house in which the Young Demo-, cratic Voters joined, was certainly I not to be denied. With the interest thus displayed and it is the same over the state, there is no doubt of the outcome of the election on November Bth. The people will show their continued support of those who are trying so hard to help every one in the nation. Discovery Day was observed here I and elsewhere over the nation, celebrating the landing of Coluni- , bus in 1492. That's quite a while ago hut he would scarcely recog--1 nize this nation now if he could ' return. Thon it was a wild but 1 rich and undeveloped country, populated only by Indian tribes. ! Now it is the greatest in the world i with rich and productive fields, I large cities, going and growing industries and we live at peace. We I have much to be grateful for and | we have a right to feel very proud ' of the advancements made. — It is regretted that Judge DeVoss could not attend the rally last : evening, due to the death of his ' sister. However he is so well known and so widely admired that i he will be given a splendid vote 'in this old Democ’atic county. He I has been well over the state tn his I race for the appellate courtship land is pleased with the outlook. Let's tell the people of Indiana by . our votes what we think of himi who has worked as a boy and man

: ISSUES ORDERS ft ‘ ON RELIEF FUND I 11 — r Orders Cost Kept Down; r Wallace Proposes TwoPrice System Washington. Oct. 13 — (U,R| — President Roosevelt today itw 1 strutted Aubrey Williams, deputy i works progress administrator, to hold expenditures within the $700,000,000 balance of emergency funds until next March 1. Mr. Roosevelt issued the instructions during a White House | conference with Williams. During the conference. Williams 1 presented a breakdown of the rej lief agency's expenditures since 1 July 1. when congress made available $1,455,000,000 for its uses The breakdown showed the fol-' lowing outlays by months: July—s2ol,ooo,ooo. August— $201,000,000. September—sl9l.o4*o.ooo. •'We have hopes of stretching the money out as desired by the president,” Williams said “Employment is increasing everywhere and the outlook is: brighter thati at any time iu a year. I look for a steady increase in employment all over the United States and in all lines.” He said WPA rolls now total I 3.130,000. The last congress, in providing i relief funds for the current fiscal i year, made provision for only the. | first eight months —a period end- : ing March 1. President Roose-: i velt s plan was to make a survey of the situation at that time, and j present a recommendation for a I supplemental appropriation th fi- : nance the relief organization until I end of the fiscal year. Morgenthau Endorses Washington. Oct. 13 — (U.R) —j The new deal developed plans rapidly today for a “two-price" system under which the government would finance the sale of , food and clothing to low-income i ■ groups at reduced prices. Secretary of the Treasury I Moigenthau today endorsed the | ' plan proposed by Secretary of 1 Agriculture Wallace for the sale: of surplus cotton and food pro-: ducts in this country at low ■prices to increase domestic con-■ sumption. “That will be the best money' ever spent." Moigenthau said. ”1 ‘ I don t know where it could be 1 spent to better advantage." Moregtithau said several con * 1 fereuces attended by Wallace. Dr. , Thomas Parran, surgeon general ! of the U. S. public health service, and himself were held on the proposal in May and June. ■ Wallace said emphasis had been shifted in recent weeks from export subsidies to the "subsidiz- < ing" of domestic consumption in an effort to find markets for unprecedented surpluses of wheat,; t cotton and dairy products. I The suggestion made last week I in a speech at Fort Worth. Tex., i lor a “two-price" rystem whereby i the government would finance, sal of surpluses at a low price’ < < *'» f.S »♦ to tn.’ poor, still is tUMler UIS- ; mission,” Wallace said. “It there is to a two-price sysI tern and if there is to be dumping, I would much rather Bee American consumers the bene-' j ficiaries rather than foreign con-1 sumers," he told a press confer-1 . elite late yesterday. The discussions, he said, include a proposal that the govern-' . .nent sell cotton and other pro-' ducts on which it has made loans to processors under an agreement ' that the products would be mar-' , keted at a low price among "the in this community and who has served with credit sb city clerk, as mayor and as circuit judge.

"it must have been a terrible explosion,” he said. “We had a hard time finding the bodies.” — -o HOLD HEARING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I answered that the record spoke i for itself, and that he had fol-1 , lowed the steps recommended by j the attorney, Mr. Custer. Ralph Myers ot Hartford town- ■ ship testified that he had inform-1 ed Mr. Tyndall before the council, : had met on September 9 that a I i remonstrance would be filed. At the conclusion of this testi- | money. Mr. Moran moved that the j petition lie stricken out uue to - failure tv give notice to remonStrators of the number of names on the petition or to show the petition at the request of the remoustrators. The action on this is to be made by the county council. Mr. Myers, who represents the county taxpayers association,, talked briefly before the council. I saying the remonst rators, were not greatly concerned about the' amount needed for proposed bond issue, but that the remonstrators had made a long fight to relieve property owners from heavy taxation, and that iu the face of in- «* they were opposed to additional taxation for a I wind issue. Harley Roop of Root township appeared before the council and I said he had been misinformed | when he signed the remonstrance. ,He said the renmostrators had I told him that the improvement ’ would add a "great sum” to his I annual taxes. He said he had I i since been informed that it would | increase his taxes oniy a small l i amount. He asked that his name be stricken from the list of re- j ' moustrators. By agreement of ■ the attorneys, this was denied. ( ' because of the expiration of the | lasi day to add or remove names. Other remonstrators talked briefly against the proposal. Following the hearing, the coun- • cil met in closed session.

WORKS PROGRAM 3 GIVEN PRAISE Sen. Minton Praises Business Stimulation Under Program ( | Crown Point, Ind., Oct. 13.—<U.R) . — President Roosevelt's public works program has stimulated business by creating mass purchasing power and has improved every ' community of the nation. Sen. Sher-j man Minton asserted in a camI palgn speech here last night. “The expenditure of government i 1 funds to stimulate business and : industry helped to make the an- : anal national people’s income $30,- , 000,000,000 more in 1937 than in 1932," he said. “During a political campaign, every citizen should look over the record and decide whether or not ! he has benefited from the policies lof the various Political parties.; The record of the Democratic party is more eloquent than any oratory. ' It proves that the new deal has brought breater happiness and stability and security to the American people.” Outlining the work done by various federal agencies in Indiana. Minton claimed that money is cirI culated among the unemployed at the bottom and that WPA workers ' are now spending more than $35,- ; ' 000.000 each week for the neces- : sit les of life. Townsend Speaks Fowler. Ind.. Oct. 13.— (U.R> — Speaking at Fowler's annual corn • festival, Gov. M. Clifford Townsend ■ today declared that "the top six I inches of the soil is one of the : most valuable possessions of the 1 people and it should be conserved for future generations.” “Anyone who has I ravelled through the south and seen the precious top earth washed and blown away realize the terrible tragedy that wasteful use of the I earth has visited tqwii some secI tions of our nation. i "The farmer* of Indiana know j that a rich soil is one of their most precious heritages, and as a i result the high quality of Indiana corn and other agricultural proI ducts is recognized throughout the i United States." In a speech at LaPorte last ■ night, Townsend discussed the administration's program to bring relief to homeless, neglected and dependent children, sayiug they “have been given a chance to live a normal, happy life.' "The waifs who roamed the streets, who suffered all the miseries of destitution, or who had none to take them iu have been given homes, and the state has provided for the maintenance of | these homes,” the governor ex- ' plained. j "Mothers who had to give up I their children because they could : not afford to keep them any longer have been re united with their sons and daughters, and the state has ~ .de this possible.
