These tragedies are saddest ! because so many of them result from carelessness. When we get through with the | vote counting and the recounting, j we will settle down to the ordin- ■ ary business of life which is per- | haps more important. If the Republicans nominate Robert Taft of Ohio for his name, j the Democrats might off set it by naming Richard Cleveland, son of one of the great former presidents. 1 Next on the calendar of interest to those who thrive on politics will be the 1939 session of the legisla- ; ture which promises to be interesting and of course more or less important. Judge De Voss has opened the November term, of court, for his last term, as he will conclude his services here the last day of the year, J. Fred Fruchte, well known local attorney, elected judge of the 26th circuit in last week s election, t will assume the bench succeeding Judge DeVoss. Less than two hundred dollars is needed to put over the tile mill campaign. A few people w’ho have so far not helped in this effort to return a hundred men to work and continue a splendid manufactory, could easily make this amount. Start it. some one, and let's com- ’ plete a good job. According to the latest election returns, Dr. Gillie also carried Wells county by 54 votes. Until a day or two ago when an error of 100 was discovered, Congressman Farley had apparently carried the county by a few votes. This makes i Gillie's victory complete, giving him every county in the mstrict.

The public has no objections to a recount of votes, in fact most ; folks feel that ought to occur if j there is a reason for it, but they resent the implication that the election was in any way a steal or i that crookedness prevailed. When j such charges are made, those who make them should be able and will--1 ing to prove them. A fair deal is demanded by the great majority. Governor Townsend has issued orders to ban the slot machines and make no mistake, he is in | earnest about it. State police have , been ordered to confiscate the ma chines and arrest those who operate them There is not much defense for the slot machine. While most Americans like to gamble a i little, they prefer something in , which they have more chances for | occasional winnings. The Republican newspapers are j hard losers. They are not only advocating recounts, and largely without cause, but they have for a week now published their own haphazard returns of the results. | which have not tallied with official returns. Out of power the past six I or eight years they are hoping for ! a return. After all it was quite a Democratic victory in the state, all | things considered and after it's all i settled, will be so declared. The annual roll call of the Red Cross was started last night with a dinner and meeting at the M. E. church in Monroe.

Hamil-, ton. of the Republican national I committee, said that ‘prospects of Republican victories at the polls November 8. supplied the answer to the present industrial upturn. Not content with handing out that nonsense, the Republican chairman went on to say that ‘the 12 million New Deal jobless' will be ‘given steady employment if Uie Republi-, can party is returned to power.' , Who is gullible enough to pay any attention to such a pledge? If Mr. Hamilton were sincere why didn’t he tell how the party planned to create those 12 million jobs?" — Springfield. Mass., News (Rep.) The petroleum industry con-) tinues to assert that the gasoline tax is unpopular and cites a For- 1 tune survey to show that it is particularly unpopular among tax- j payers in the middle and lower i brackets. This will surprise those ’ who have always believed the gasoline tax was one of the most

equitable ones ever devised, especially when the money is not divert- j ed. In Indiana all roads, state and ; county are maintained by this tax with no levy on property It is a fact that despite the tax gasoline consumption has gone up by leaps j and bounds and it is difficult to be-' lieve that the tax in itself has! effected the sale of a single car.—l Hartford City News.

Outlook For Indiana Farmer Is Reviewed In Five Articles

(Editors Note: This is th? second of five articles reviewing the “Outlook for Indiana Agricilture in 1939”. prepared by the Purdne University department of farm manage ment in cooperation with the school at agriculture, agricultural experiment station, department of agricultural extension, and ths U- »■ department of agriculture. This deals with the “farm family living in 1939”; tomorrow's article will concern “Indiana's livestock situation and outlook)". Lafayette. Ind.. Nov. 16 — "How will my family fare in 1939?” eagerly asks Mrs. Indiana Farmer In answering this question, Purdue University evtension home economists have carefully studied the present farm economic picture aud the more general business situation, and then they concluded: "Dollar for dollar, the family's money income is expected to stretch about as far next year as as this, since the general level of commodities brought for living is not expected to change much in 1939 from late 1938. more also included Maryland and Mississippi. New England states, except Connecticut, reported increased claims, partly attributed to shutdowns resulting from September floods.

STRONG MAN

"The level of living achieved by the farm family in 1939 seems to be more dependent on improved money management and use of farm-fii-mshed goods than upon increased cash income. . . . The interest in consumer problems is expected io continue in 1939, and farm family money management should improve correspondingly.” Naturally, farm women know that their families’ level of living depends largely upon the amount of their net cash income and its potential purchasing power. And. it undoubtedly will be encouraging to them to learn that “. . . the total net income . . . will be somewhat higher in 1939 than in 1938. . . when it dropped 2» per cent from the 1937 level. “As income rises,” the outlook report continues, “farm families tend to spend part of the increase for living but they generally apply a larger share than do city families toward getting ahead financially, increasing net worth. Any general improvement in farm Income therefore will tend toward bettering the general net worth situation of families. particularly among those with net money incomes of S6OO or more. Below this line, farm family living has first claim on funds and only •he small family will be goodly supply of farm-furnished wood can devote cash to increasing its net

worth. Non-term cash income may be increased through improved in-j uustrial activities.” Since the of farm fur- : uished goods to the family is far more stable than their "money-val-ue,” it appears wise for farm housekeepers to use as many of these poods as possible, leaving more funds for the purchase of things not produced on the farm. Continued interest is being shown by farm families in “canning by uudget”. Refrigeration storage locker plants are being established in mdiana and are used chiefly fori meats at present by farm families. “No marked changes in prices of gasoline, kerosene, or gas appear probable next year. Coal prices may be somewhat higher." Clothing expenditures are expected to average a little higher in 1939 than in 1938. but textiles may be about the same, except for a s’ight increase in rayons. The increase in leather prices point to) some increase in 1939 shoe prices. | The 1939 automobiles are priced anout five per cent less than those of 1938. An upward trend in the price of building materials is likely. Furniture may be a little higher i priced in 1939 than in 1938. Indiana farm families have experienced a rapid growth in electrical development—26.7 per cent of all farms had electricity on Jan. 1, 1938, as compared with 11.3 per cent in 1930 , . . ..Present indlca-' lions in Indiana are toward continued expansion of use and exten-; sion of electric lines to rural homes in 1939 . . .
