6/Arthur Brisbane QUIETLY AND', EASILY ;i , GANDHI MEETS THE KING THE AKRON MORE PROSPERITY NEWS How quietly and easily the world entered the big War in 1914. How acutely it feels its pains and aches now, while it is passing through the depression caused by the war. Just as quietly and easily Japan,l China and Russia may be sliding into ' another war, itse importance to be guessed or its results foreseen. Let us pray, hope and believe that nobody will drag us into that tempest if it starts. But you can never be sure. J _ When you read “Tokyo is sending heavy reserves to China because |.fteen Japanese have been killed in\a Manchurian battle,” and read of Japanese and China fighting “in the Russian zone,” you may prepare for big yews. Japan has been, sending heavy gold] shipments through San Francisco for j|sep’>sU to credit here. This puzzles France, but should not. , : For buying in-America Japan r: have gold, and therefore Japanese gold is coming here. Japan will w. nt many things if . war starts on- a big scale and roust use gold in this market. J? 1 • . Mahatma Gandhi met the king of England recently, raising his hands as he *]' I th* ial p*ii age, as though in benediction. The mahatma, from India’s .coral stands, wont his lol.n cloth and shawl, legs arid arms bare, sandals on his feet. The king wore a' black vat. tui ned d . dark t ie, with < ld-fashiqned pin, formal civilian attire. | Once the representative of i Indian power would have a 4<mg title, elaborate clothing, many jewel* ’ And the representative of European royalty would have received his visitor, brilliant in color, in a long cloak, lined with ermine, brilliant stars glitter ing cut his breast, The giant airship Akron flew with 2u7 human beings on board, a record for any aircraft. and the t be congratulated on investing ss,o<«>000 in the Akroci. Not enough praise has been given to Mr. Litchfield, pi e.~ ident of the Goodyear com, whose enterprise made it possible to build such an airship here in the United States. And not enough praise h:ts x been given to Admiral Moffat;, who ihq>ked hard to push through the enterprise. The Akron, intended for war, will carry five planes, that will leave the mother dirigible, attend to invading floating ships, or Submarines, or drop bombs on hostil cities, then co'me back to the mother ship. On top. in the middle, and at both ends, the giant Akron carries chine gun nests. It could earn a living carrying fast mail and a few passengers across the ocean in peace time This country should have a dozen like the Akron, but bigger, and 5,000 he*vier-lhun-air ships a* a fighting fleet, also useful in peace. A sign of prosperity, bigger than a man’s hand, is the rising price of wheat. Arthur W. Cutten of Chicago, able grain personage, expects $1 wheat. That would mean money for farmers, money for farmers w» uld mean hiring meh, and that, plus a few other things, would mean prosperity. Premier Laval, back in France tells his cabirtet what was said and done in the United States, and the cabinet declares Laval a wonderful man. French newspapers applaud him, -lie Paris public is delighed with him. They probably know something that we don’t know here. One thing is sure, when. a French statesman goes anywhere he goes with a plan, and slicks to iL . • - The observatory at Mount Wilson will have a telescope with an eye. or lens, two hundred inches wide. Twice, as big as any other telescope, this wonderful cosmic eye will carry man’s sight into space three times as far. as it has ever gone before, reveaL ing new nebulae, new marvels, hundreds of millions of light years away. The eye of man, not the telescope, ' sees. The telescope only supplies to th human eye a wider pupil. The pupil of your eye, not much bigger than the head of a black pin, is nine feet wide when you look into that new telescope, and, being wider, absorbs more light and penetrates space to a greater depth. Think of an eye with a pupil nine feeF wide. The eye itself would be a hundred feet in width, requiring a face as big as the faces of angels that Mohammed saw in Paradise.

A. L. Miller explained general election laws when the Young Peoples’ Republican Club met in the library,® Tuesday evening. He said that a general election .is held every four years at which time! a president and vice president of the United States are elected; governors and state officials, and senators anti congressmen whose 'terms have expired. A candidate for a public office can be selected in two ways, he pointed out, by primary election and by convention or caucus. The latter method is the oldest, but -the use of the primary has grown steadily in the past ,20 years. In this method people select candidates by individual votes after a person has announced his candidacy for office. Voters vote for one from a , number of the same party whose names are Fisted on the ' primary ballot; the one • receiving the largest number of votes is the candidate for that party in the coming election. In the caucus method, partips call conventions to be held on certain dates for the purpose of selecting candidates. Delegates to these conventions select the party nominees.

MACY WRITES ARTICLES FOR MAGAZINE “BOATING BUSINESS”

M. W. Macy has written two articles for the magazine “Boating Business,” one article ‘‘They Want Quality When It Comes to Gas and Oil” being published in the October number ol the magazine: and “Our Service Facilities and the Price We Charge for Them,” appearing in the November issue. In his first article Macy explains that he likes the gas and oil business. That an automobile owner stops for five gallons, but a boat owner says; “Fill Her Um” He writes that he always recommends changing oil in boats every three tankfulls of gas, and that records are kept at the Slip showing when oil changes are needed. He claims that customers want, demand, and are willing to pay for quality, so why handle inferior goods ind jeopardize the good will of customers? “To show how the demand runs, we handle three tirades of gas here, al Wawasee. Ethyl, Regular and gas frankly sold on a price basis. Here is how . , 70 per cent; regular, 28-per cent, cheap grs, 2 per cent,” is the way he summary izes it. Macy’s article goes on to say he THREE WOMEN HURT IN HEAD-ON WRECK ,M.s. Salina Kuhn of North Webster and her two daughters, Mrs. Oran Wilcox of Nqrth Webster and Mts. Ada Chilton of Angola were all seriously injured’ when the car in •vhich they were driving was demolished in a head on collision with an oil truck, on the curve by the flour mill south of North Webster last Friday, morning. The injured people were taken to the Elkhart hospital, and passed through Syracuse in Ira Rothenberger’s ambulance and in the two cars which followed. . - Mrs. Kuhn received a broken jaw, scalp wounds, punctured neck, a broken wrist and cuts in her leg in the accident. Mrs. Wilcox had two broken ribs and cuts, and Mrs. Chilton three broken riba, a badly bruised head and outs in the leg. Mrs. Kuhn is still in the hospital, her condition is serious. >... .<> THE WEATHER’S THE BERRIES The second week of November, md W. M. Wilt and A. A. Pfingst are picking A >pe strawberries from their strawberry barrels. D. Gibson brought some ripe red raspberries to the Journal office an Monday to prove that he was picking berries from the bushes at his home in November. And Mrs. James Peffley picked a hollyhock blossom from her flower bed last week, Warren Ruple had one in blossom too, at his filling station. The rain last Thursday * evening tried to turn into snow. The attempt wasn’t so successful as the weather turned warmer. It was 70 outdoors by the thermometer at Butt’s land- ; ing Sunday, ■ - . MARRIED IN WARSAW Everett Rookstool and Miss Helen Hummel of l-eesburg were married Tuesday morning by Rev. D. ,L. Thomas of Warsaw at the court house. They will make their home on a farm near Leesburg.

The primary method seems fairest, Mr. Miller said, as it represents the ’choice of the majority of the people, j But the disadvantage in this method is that often the best candidate for ! office is not selected in this way the matter of friendship enters in. In voting at the primary election a voter must declare his politics when he enters the polls. He must state which party ballot he wants, and then unobserved in a booth selects his candidate from all those on the party. The election board is in charge of the polls. The board consists of an inspector, two sheriffs, two judges and two clerks. The inspector is paid sl2, the judges $9, the clerks $9 and the sheriffs $6. The two political parties casting the largest number of votes for secretary of state at the last general election determine who will compose the election board. The inspector, who is in charge of the election board is chosen from the party whjch cagt the largest number of votes. Sheriffs are law enforcement officials, qualified peace officers at the (Continued on Last Page)

handles only the highest grade of | oil, Duplex, Mobiloil, Texaco and i Havoline, and that 90 per cent of i ; the customers leave the choice of oil up to him. Customers want quality, and then ' speedy service, is what he claims, j So at the Slip there are Wayne motor driven meter measure pumps for i Ethyl and regular gas. The motor driven pumps save from 10 to 12 1 2 j ! minutes of the boat owner’s time, he I writes. Two attendants service all boats ’ at the Slip, Macy explains in his ar- ’ tide. One attends to the gas and i the other checks oil, water in bat-1 teries, etc. All attendants are there to give service, answer questions, to give advice, and be courteous al all times,' he writes. In addition to the pumps, there are three underground storage tanks for gas, and Macy explains that wet ; hoses are used on the gas pumps: I servicing the boats as the flow of gas can be controlled at the end of the hose, thus preventing an overflow on ! to the boat.

MENZENBERGER SAYS SUIT IS A MISTAKE Yesterday morning Earl Menzenj berg er stated that the suit brought ; against him and his wife by the ! American State Bank of Ligonier i was a mistake. He said he had i thought the interest on the note in! ' question was due on Wednesday, and that the money would' be in ' Ligonier Thursday morning, on acj coUnt of yesterday being a legal , holiday. Va The suit was filed Tuesday in the i Kosciusko County circuit court, on a note and mortgage foreclosure [ against Earl and Hariette Menzent berger and the General Builders Supply Co., in which a judgment of| $7,000 is demanded. The petition also asks that a receiver be appointed. I The property involved is on Lake ] Wawasee in the South 'Park and , Brunjes Park. The suit is on a note for St',ooo given by Mr.. and Mrs. Menzenberger on April 11, 1931, for I a six month periods __ u _i WORK TO START ON HILLS-LAKES ROAD • ; ' ■■ ! State Road 13, or the Hills and Lake* road will be graded and re- ; surfaced this winter, between the Vawter Park •choul house and No. Webster. In the spring some sort of asphalt top dressing will be applied. Such is the plan of the State Highway Department, according to R. Crow, who is in charge of the work. J The new route, which is' being surveyed this week will be straight. It will follow the old gravel road from the \'awter Park school house to Webster. It will continue south ’ until it joins with temporary Road ■ 13, at the L. H. Kline farm. About 1,000 feet of the new road will have to bp constructed, No definite plan? have been made by the department on how the road will go through either North Wgbi stpr or Syuacusp, Grading is to start either the last of this week or the first of next week, The brush already has been cleared back to the outside limits of the road, There has been gome trouble geltting the 80 foot right of way for the road, but according to Crow, the i road is going through. The state is using this plan of giv- , j ing work to as many men as possible in the construction of the road. Work will be given to one gang of men , for two weeks. Then they will be laid off and another group employed ■ for two weeks. At the end of this t two weeks the first gang will be j again put to work.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS CHORUS PRESENTS INDIAN OPERETTA.

The crowd which attended the operetta, ‘‘The Feast of The Red Corn” at the High school, Friday eVeping, expressed its enjoyment that evening and has since expressed its appreciation of tUe work which made the production of the operetta possible. The operetta was presented by the Syracuse High School Girls’ chorus which had been trained by Miss Lucile Henwood. Costumes for all had been planned by M'ss Henwood and had beep pjade by the girls taking part. Mtes Henwood’s brother Harvey helped her in lighting the stage, and made the bows and arrows for those taking part, weeks in advance j of the production of the operetta. Flood lights and dim lights brought out the desired effects during the production. The story the operetta was . ba§ed qp. the Feast of the Red Corn. It wa» believed at harvest time the one who discovered a red ear of corn would have her wish granted. As the Indian queen's husband had: been away at war for some time and not heard from she was worried as.

llstate Head ' OF LEGION AT MEETING ■I. ' x . Commander Addresses Group at Tavern Monday “The American Legion 'is not a military organization r.s the pacificists would make it, but the greatest peace organization this country has ever seen,” was the dominant note in the address of state common-" der Ralph F. Gates, speaking to the Ancil Geiger Post of the American Legion at the Tavern Hotel Monday night. • The only reason the Allies were victorious in 1918 was that they had finally reached the state of pftparedness that Germany had at the be-iinning-of the war, he said. Ihe Region is in favor of a naval toliday or| any other kind of military loliday as long as the rest of the ountries observe it, long as he United States keeps on a parity .n war strength with other countries. Gates said. Ihe Legion believes in citizen raining camps and reserve officers ' being trained as a means of preparedness, but one bit of legislation which the Legion has sponsored but which has never been passed by congress is universal draft. This would ibt only draft soldiers at a dollar a day, explained Gates, but would draft money, industry, bankers, preachers, farmers, railroads and everything else which could be applied in war time. “It would take the" profit but war,” Gates said..He also statecl that he Legion was opposed to Communism for ComAiunism is utterly ncompatible with our Demfieratic ■>rm of government. Speaking on what the Legion has lone and what it should do in the future, Gates said that in 1920 there ere 25,000 Veterans in hospitals md today 36,006. These men are the esponsibility of the Legion, and. he Legion must see that they get aIE hat they are entitled, ta from the government. The Legion had passed, in 1924, he adjusted compensation agt which ailed upon the government to day .side a reserve fund pvery year for his purpose. In 1930 the Legion got Jongress to allow the Veterans to borrow 50 per cent of their adjusted! ■ompensation money which had a)-> eady been set aside for them. The, Legion thought the Veterans- could, use the money better now than 20. years from now. The Legion ■in 1931 listened to President Hoover’s plea not to ask for the payment of full contpensaion for they had made sacrifices in 1917 and w.ere willing to make then igain in 1931. Gates explained however that at .he Detroit convention, tire Indiana lelegates went on record for the full payment of compensation in the near future. ' ■ The Legion also believes that the veterans should not pay a higher rate of interest on what they bor-, rowed on their compensations than he government- pays on the money which it borrows. Legion members from surrounding posts were in attendance at- the meeting Monday evening and all enjoyed the roast ham sandwiches and. coJTee furnished by the Ancil Geiger post, and the apples which had been donated th* meeting by Redmon’s orchard, '

to his welfare. Added to her worriest was the conduct of Impee Light who insisted on playing tricks on Fudgee, Pudgee and Wudgee, three daughters of the ’queen. t Impee Light went so far as to> !have the children pretend that they had drowned when their boat up- . turned in the river. When the tribe ■ was sorrowing the three* re-appear-ed quite well. The queen discovered the ear of- - corn and made her wish that the chief was safe so that the operetta | ended happily despite the dark prophecies which the Old Squaw made. The overture to the operetta was i played by Miss Olive Baugher, Miss; Opal Garrison and Jimmie Freeman, 5t piano, violin and drums. Then the opening chorus was sung by Indian I maidens: “Dead Leaves Amid the Corn,” and the Old Squaw, the part , acted by Isabell Boose, and the choruA sang: “Somebody’s Been Up 'to Something.” !
