1 lions of pounds of Crystal White. | the finest sugar made any where has been turned out, several hundred of men have been employed and farmers will soon receive hand- ' some checks for handsome amounts, j Contracts for next year’s beets are coming in. It’s one of the finest industries we know of and we are all very happy over the splendid 1 outcome this year. Judge De Voss has his commission and will assume office as judge of the appellate court the first day of the year. Whatever the result of the proposed recount, he will serve as judge while the legal technicalities are being worked out. That this will result In his favor there is little doubt and he will hold the high position the next four years. It has been a nerve racking period while the returns were being compiled and his friends are hoping for an early ad- t judication of the controversies that ■ have arisen by those determined to take the offices, regardless of returns. We live longer, on the average, , than did our forefathers in the old chills and fever days. As a I consequence there are eight million more people in this country . than in 1930 and the population I of the United States has increas- I ed 350.000 this year. Since immi- n gratiou was restricted over a dec- i ade ago, the increase is due to less fatalities among infants and long- £ er life for the adults. It is predicted by some that in another ten years when pensions for all over [ fifty are a part of the scheme of things in this country, persons of I that age or over, will control the I nation. That’s something to think about. Recounting votes for state officials, unless there is unquestion- ! able evidence of crookedness, cer- j tainly would not be fair unless the entire state was recounted. From what can be learned the recent election was fairly conducted and except for unintentional error I which might occur in any precinct. The Democratic workers felt confident they would win the election by a large majority, estimates run- ’ niug as high as 200,000. Republi- i cans practically conceded it by 75.000. Under those circumstances ■ there would be no reason for skull- | duggery. It’s a brazen effort of | the •‘outs" to make it appear the 1 election was unfair, so the indict- , ment can be used in the next elee- 1 tion. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. I one of the gladdest seasons of the 1 year, an occasion when every one i should earnestly give thanks to 1 the Creator for the millions of ’ blessings we have received during the year. The Puritans in the early days, found many things to make them happy on this day and I by them it was set aside as the one I time for returning heartfelt appre- j ciations to their God who had led . them to the shores of America. ■ Besides following their example ; the people of today have made it the occasion of family reunions and i tomorrow here and elsewhere we will gather to talk of the good old i times and the good times to come, j It’s a great occasion and will be observed over Adams county in | a genuine manner. Announcement was made by T. A. Dicus. chairman of the State | Highway Commission, that a ques-1 tionnaire Would be submitted to , Hoosier motorists regarding poss- . | ible revision of the traffic laws. The plan was revealed at a Monti- | cello meeting in the new subdis- . trict highway garage. It was inti- • mated that opinions of at least 100,000 Hoosiers would be consided in formulating proposals to be 1 submitted to the legislature. The motorists will be asked whether they favor establishment of a defi- J nite speed limit on the state’s highways or a coutluuatiou of the present plan, in which a motorist's judgment determines the speed,

Lutheran Choral Society \\ ill Present “The Messiah” at Shrine

— .. _ if B i - - jv- A. Fort Wayne. Ind. Nov. 23 —A new’ high in the musical history of Fort Wayne and Northeastern Indiana' will be reached Sunday afternoon, December 4 at 3 o’clock, when the Lutheran Choral Society, under the direction of George Gerhard Arke-f bauer. presents Haendel’s tamed oratorio, "The Messiah." at the; Shrine Auditorium here. Ushering in the Christmas sea- 1 son with this great musical compos'tion with a religious theme, the chorus of 120 voices will be accom-! panied by a symphonic orchestra assembled by Gaston Bailhe, director of the Fort Wayne Civic Symph- i ony Orchestra, and will feature four| soloists of international reputation. ‘ The choral society, in its twentyfirst year, has presented ’’The Mes-' siah” on other occasions, but never has this majestic oratorio been pre-i sented here on so large a scale. | Two vocalists who have sung the solo parts of "The Messiah" with the Philadelphia Symphony Orehes-I tra are among the four soloists who will appear here. They are Loßean Hodapp. soprano, and John Gaius Baumgartner, baritone. The other soloists are Elizabeth Krueger, alto, I and John Hamlin, tenor. Miss Hodapp has made five appearances with the Philadelphia Symphony under the baton of Leo-j pold Stokowski. She has sung with the noted eastern orchestra in Car-, negie hall. N. Y. City, and the Aca-; demy of Music. Philadelphia. Ernest j Newman, of the London Times, says of Miss Hodapp: “Loßean Hodapp is so fine an artist that If mere voice is the least of her qualifications. I am lost in speculative admiration for the first of them. Mr. Baumgartner has sung the baritone for "The Messiah" manytimes throughout the East: Bach's subject to reckless driving rules. Compulsory inspection of motor vehicles also is a question on which drivers will be asked for an opinion. These and other queries are included in the questionnaire. The procedure is commendable in seeking to get the motorist’s point of viejv. —Indianapolis Star.

It has been presented year after year throughout the world' I since that time. , The first part of “The Messiah” ! portrays the longing of the world for its Redeemer, and the birth of ' Christ. The second part describes ' the suffering of Christ, closing with . His victory over the grave and His ascension into heaven, expressed in that greates of all choral numbers, ’ “The Hallelujah Chorus.” The third part expresses the aspirations and; 1 faith of the world. The “Amen Chorus” brings the composition to a tret.tct ions climax. Tickets so rthe concert are now; being sold and reserved at the Pac-i kard Piano Company, 1221 South) . Calhoun Street, here.
