Representative BCHEERER & CO. 15 Lexington Avenue, New York 36 East Wacker Drive, Chicago Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dallies A canning plaut would be popular with hundreds of farmers who would engage in vegetable farming if a home market was provided. Cold weather is predicted but | we have one big advantage and that is that we won't have it long for usually spring ptarts about the middle of March. Get a tag for the pup. The 1039 license is due and the tags are ready for you. They cost fifty cents and if you don't tie one on the dog. ho may be picked up and ! taken to the city pond which will | cost extra. — Senator VanNuys announces he j will stand by business and there I is no doubt sounding in that an-' nouneed intention. Business needs some attention these days if we are to reach that eight billion dollar mark fixed by President Roosevelt. Felix Frankfurter, newly appointed member of the supreme court ot the United States is admitted to be one of America's greatest lawyers aud scholars. Only objection to him is that he "belongs to the liberal school. He is a Jewish educator and his opinions have been sought and followed frequently by the president. | It would be great if the federal ■ budget could be balanced and at , the same time continue the spend- ■ ing of money without increasing ; tuxes or providing new ones, but so far no one bus been able to figure out just how this can be done until business catches up with the pace and unemployment i is taken care of lu such away as to relieve the drain on the national treasury. That's the big \ problem. About every congressman aud smite senators hr.7e plans to save ! the farmer. They have been at [ that a good while aud lately with some success. After all its a very necessary part of this nation today as it always has been fur when the farmer is prosperous, every one else is and we have solved the economic problem largely. So good luck boys, hope you do a good job of saving the farmer and thus saving the country. — Renew your subscription to the | Daily Democrat. Many of you have been taking it ever since it started thirty-six years ago and the weekly before that. It's pail of your every day living for it records what is going on among your neighbors here in Adams county as well as giving you the news from every where else. Its nlill being sold for three dollars a year by mail, which is less than u penny a day and a big buy for the money. While many of the solurns attending the general assembly have cures for various tilings pertaining to state government, we may

| find they are not the final solution. The difficulty Is that few laws are perfect and frequently when they help part of the people they In- , Jure others. Present laws have proven fairly satisfactory to most people because they have enabled Sthe state to stand out the first lu t the Union as to education, bank- * ing, roads and with a safe balance I in the treasury. — * I The report of the Good Fellows I Club shows exactly how much i money was spent and how. The * sixteen dollar shortage was made , up by the Delta Theta Tau sorority 1 ■in addition to the liberal donation ; of fifty dollars made by them. The ! efforts of these ladies brought happiness to 171 children who i otherwise would have had little, j if any Christmas. It's a splendid custom aud we sincerely hope the Delta Theta Tau which has spoil- j sored it a number of years will j | not he so discouraged by the lack j j of interest this year as to drop it. j The final distribution ou the Old Adams County Bank, now be- | ing made by Robert Kramer makes ! | a total of 82.1% paid to deposit- I I ors, of which four per cent on the ! j original amount was paid by Mr. j | Yager, as liquidating agent, be- ; fore the bank was taken over by the Indiana department of finan- j 1 cial Institutions, while 78.1% has j j been paid since that time. When costs of nearly eleven years dis- j , tribmion and the losses necessary when forced sales are made, the showing is sufficient to prove that i the old institution was a very sound one, its closing being brought about because of frozen assets | ! caused by the severe depression. Some of the most enthusiastic \ propagandists are those who be- j 1 lieve in calendar reform. If and when their proposals are carried out, one calendar will be good for ; every year. The quarters will all 1 be equal in length, each quarter ! | containing three months, 13 weeks, j 31 days. Each quarter will begin j on a Sunday and cud with a Saturday. Each year w ill begin on Sun- : day. The first month of each 1 quarter will bare 31 days, the second and third months 34 days. A year-end day aud a leap-year day j will take up the slack. This is what the calendar reformers tell j you.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. , Cliff Townsend is completing his second year as Governor of Indi- i ana. By now, the citizens have j had a good opportunity to find out about his ability as a state executive and to learn if they acted ; wisely in electing him as head of j their government. The answer is ! that Hoosiers have found Cliff to be a better Governor than they were promised. Townsend has battled for the farmers; he has I favored motorists; he has assist-: cd school teachers; he has gone ■ about other business of the state government iu a quiet, determined manner. He has not been • ; spectacular, but he has been } [ thorough. Townsend tried to catch public sentiment by seeking ad- ' ice from many sources, and has j avoided all display of authority. Big busiuess has come to him for j advice and assistance and so has j the common man. He is still "Cliff" to the multitude —which is I the way he wants it. Two years j , have been entirely satisfactory, j Cliff Townsend s prestige and esI teem have grown and will continue to mount. Half-way through Itis term, Townsend remains “the j people's choice." He couldn't wish for more.—Greenwood News. o ♦ + Modern Etiquette j By ROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ Q Who is present, when the wedding rehearsal takes place? A. Only those who take part in the rehearsal.
