Buy a ticket for the President's Ball. Hundreds of farmers would appreciate efforts by the Chamber of Commerce to land a good canning , factory here that would provide a market for tomatoes, pickles and other garden products. Instead of prolonging legislative sessions it would probably be better to have congress meet only sixty-one days. The more laws we enact the more complicated becomes government and the more difficult it is to meet all the demands. An occasional cold wave at this time of the year is to be expected and there are those who declare they like it and really seem to. It is better to have seasonable weather, both as to health and business, so lets not complain too much. Hoy Scouts did a good job selling badges on the march of dimes program in the tight against infantile paralysis. They worked on the down town streets Saturday and their contribution will be a wonth while one to be added to the profits from the President's Ball the 28th. A Pittsburgh lady is giving a gift to the people of Einland because that is the only nation to pay her just debt to the United States. A line gesture but perhaps it would be wiser for those so philanthropic-ally inclined to just send the check to the U. S. treasury. We need it perhaps as bud as Ehtdland. Babson says unless we quit spending more money than we can possibly take in, we are headed to the rock pile and he is right. No individual, firm, community, | state or nation can expect long to > prosper unless we stay with the bounds of thrift sense. We must of course provide work and aid to . those who need it but we should , certainly do it always with good f judgment. The officers of the Krick-Tyn-! dall Company are working as hard i as they can to complete plans for i rebuilding and expect to be able | to make a definite statement within the. next week or two. The community wants this great industry to continue, a fact that is proven by the fact they subscribed ten ' thousand dollars Io aid in the I purchase of additional ground that | will provide the necessary clay. Persons who have an income and who accept poor relief front the township trustee, will be subject to a heavy line and imprisonmeat, it a bill presented by West,

Democrat, and Baker, Republican, in the Indiana house becomes a law. There Is little doubt that a 1 huge sum ot money has been spent in Indiana by giving aid to those who are really nut in dire need, imposing on the people a larger tax bill. It should be safe guard1 ed. l : Civil service too often leads to : persons doing just enough to get J by. and no more. In some instan- , ces It works out all right, in others • not. We believe that Jobs should 1 be held out us reward for political work. We do not believe a man should be given a job simply because he is a precinct worker, if he is not capable, but if he is capable, we believe he should receive . preference to one who has done nothing for the party. — Columbia City post. The Decatur school board is of-1 sering for sale two excellent lots , located at First and Jackson ; streets, where the Methodist 1 church was located for years, latter the building was converted into an opera house and twenty years ago was taken over by a I citizens committee and remodelled ' as a gym, being purchased a year ' or two later by the school board. The lots are well located and will grow in value. Bids will be re- ’ I ceived on February 13th up to ' seven o'clock P. M. Half our subscribers who take the Daily Democrat by mail have I i -mewed for 1939 and we hope the ext three weeks will be as satis- > factory as the past three weeks have been. You may not know it hut under the federal laws it is nessary that subscriptions to newspapers be reasonably paid up, meaning that only a short time can be allowed for delinquencies. If this is not done the postage I rates become so high they eat up ’ the entire amount to be paid. We arc making every effort to secure a 100 r ; t>aid up list. Wont you help us do that by renewing promptly? The Chamber of Commerce vot- | ed almost unanimously for a street fair which will be held as usual sometime in August. Let's make it the best ever for that's the only way to do it. A good fair is a I good thing, giving farmers of the county an opportunity to showproducts and to learn how to better their conditions by talking to others interested and to see the latest machinery. Besides that it provides entertainment for many thousands and if conducted in a clean and wholesome manner is helpful to every one. Past fairs have been excellent and it will require real effort to improve the ' 1938 show but that's what the boys will try to do. Give them your support. ■■■■ Evidently Republican leaders in Indiana just can't understand how a party could be as strongly entrenched in power as the Democrats have been the past, six years and not go wrong some where, j In nce the avalanch of resolutions ' demanding investigations. Demo-i crats offered no objections and j they started to work, but strange I as it may seem, they have failed , to find any thing they can use for propaganda. Maurice Early of the I Star says: “The G. O. P. has put I the clamp down on further Investii Rations of the Democratic state. I administration during the session, investigations that have gotten under way so far have not been Iso productive of thunder as the Republican command had hoped. Democratic members of the Legislature are openly jubilant.'' o - — TWENTY YEARS | AGO TODAY ; From the Daily Democrat File | Jan. 23 —The gym lund shoots up i to $716.

Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE Q. When there is some item ou tne menu which one does not under- , stand, is it alright to ask the wait-' |er what it is? A. Yes. Only a timid jierson. would resitate to do so. Q. What should a person say when being introduced to someone whom he has met previously? i A. “I think I ,ne'_ Mr. Marshall . several mvnilis ago". y Is it proper for one to use a | telephone to acknowledge receipt of la gift? j A. No, it is not good form. . o g i Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee Woolens that Scratch To prevent woolen garments from scratohing when wora, add a tew tablespoons of glycerine to the hast rinse when washing them. AlI'viyslbe sure that each water is the ’ same temperature when washing j z oolens, as it is the change from ' warm to cold water that shrinks them. Brown Sugar If a supply of brown sugar is j kept on hand, keep it in an airtight jar. let it remain in a cool place and it will not become lumpy.

I recommend this as a safety measure.' No dobut there will be many arguments proposed against this recommendation on the belief tljat tha lorn is absolutely necessary to varn other motorists and peck stt Una of an approaching car. On the other hand, if you had no horn on your car, you would drive with extreme caution and in a sate manner. Rome tried it in certain sections of the city and foil'd a big drop in automobile accidents. Before criticizing this suggestion, I think it over.

Every individual, in so far ae it is possible, should have au equal chance to develope his inherited possibilities. Since the operation of tariff laws reaches into the domes- ■ tic life of every home, as every i home in a limited way is a governJ ment into itself, it might be well to consider the fact that this predoi mutating influence seeks aud finds i a chattel which flows into or away from the main body of political par- ' ties. Preferential advantages given to one class of society at the expense, j of another, always leads to an unbalanced economic condition Since ! the complexity of governing a modern society increases by leaps end bounds it is the height of folly j to promote a tariff law which does r.ot equality protect all concerned. ' However, I do not believe in soaking the rich or robbing any other class, because the equalization ot benefits and obligations is the only policy which welds the different groups into a strong government, for each individual should receive and pay according to his earning power. As the earning power of an individual Is governed to a great extent by Jaw, it is up to the government to meet the demands ot' existing conditions by passing laws which will equally protect both agriculture and manufacturing industries. Perhaps a short review will shed seme light on what happens when they are not so protected. A li.gh protective tariff which was passed b. the old line Republican Party worked fairly well as long as our industries were in their infaacy, b it after they grew up and developed into double-fisted giants they still sought and received more and more protection. This went on for a long time and no one seemed to pay any attention to the situation until farmers had reached a point where they demanded that their products bhould lie equally protected in order that they could exchange their products for manufactured goods on an even basis. We soon dicoverea that a tariff on an exportable surplus was ineffective. This law at that time divided our nation into two classes, one a highly protected

This procedure drove the unprotected class out of the market for manu-1 factored goods, which closed many j factories and proved to any fair minded person chat a high protective tariff would not solve the problem. Neither will a tariff of that kind meet the demands of present existing conditions. We are now leaping the disadvantages of a high protective tariff and the help given to it by reciprocal trade agreements, which are giving foreign nations the right to dump their products on our market.
