by Arthur Brisbane SATISFACTORY SHOW ECLIPSE, THE YAK CONDITIONS ARE BETTER SHALL WE FINANCE HIM?

In New York City, where this is Written, overlooking the East river, Brooklyn bridge and some skyscrapers, 4he eclipse did its best against clouds and haze, and office boys, - printers, pressmen, reporters and odds and ends of editors on the roof looking through smoked glasses were satisfied with the performance. They appreciete health sickness comes. Many appreciated the sunlight when it suddenly (departed, leaving darkness that .made yt difficult to sign a payroll. Human beings, thanks to the power of advertising, knew what was coming. Some looked, some did not; all went about their business calmly in the brief comparative darkness. A baby yak, born while the eclipse | was on, will go through life called Eclipse. In Thibet, home of his mother, where yak butter missed with yak hair rtay be found in every cup to tea, such an eclipse would cause wild excitement, and immense- J ly generous contributions to the thousands of Buddist monasteries. The latter would gel all the credit [ for bringing back the sun. Atlanta. Ga., reports more cheer- • ful days In the South, with cotton and tobacco recently rising in value ■ "on paper" by five hundred million, dollars. President Hoover is told by Important steel men that recovery inLthe steel industry is just around the corner. It seems certain that conditions are getting better, perhaps because they could not get much worse. This is unusual. Rev. Harold Francis Davidson of London, convicted in* a British court of "immorality," says , he will come here, bringing one or two young ladies in the case with: him, "t<> raise money for his appeal" from the decision condemning him. You need not wonder at the rev-, erend gentleman's decision. He prob-I ably said to himself: "Americans gave ten billions of dollars without much hope of getting it back to na-| tlons engaged In murdering each oth-1 Mr. They surely would give a few | thousands to a British clergyman convicted of demoralising young girls.”, We know that the reverend gentle- j man is mistaken, but you can't expect him to know. "Those Americans are so queer.” The “Apostle of Doom,** real name Robert Keldt, and of Freeport, Long I-land, Is disqipolnted. Like the owl end the beaver, he took the eclipse too seriously, predicted *n accompanying earthquake that would de•troy New York, and tacked on to one of his other prophecies the item, “Europe will demolish the United , States ’ln war." Seven years ago this same prophet predicted the end of the world. He! was sure of it this time, but the little moon phased In front of the’big lamp, and that was all. Great is the power of New York stile’s governor. Not all governors have realised It. Justice Staley of New York’s Eupieme court, refusing to enjoin Governor Roosevelt from interfering with Mayor Walker, says the courts have no power over the governor, or of his person. For errors, if any, of law or fact, or deed, the governor is responsible not to the courts, but to ’ his own conscience. The governor of New York and other states, like the President of the United States, could do almost I anything. But they, and all of us, I are controlled by public opinion. In Bolivia Professor Bennett and Phillips of the American Museum of Natural History found deep in the < forest a hugh monolith 24 feet long. I tMMMSMMNW j Men struggled over that heavy, stone long centuries ago in Bolivia's forest, succeeded in excavating and moving it. Today men are struggling to harness the tides, to harneer the sun, and trying to refrain from murdering each other in war. Man, now and in the future, will succeed with his problems as those ancient Bolivians did. Struggle is born in us, and victory is stored away in ambition. It appears that newspaper publishers have some value in hard times. The University of Southern California discovers that subscribers to newspapers buy from 12 to 21 per cent more merchandise from the local stores than nonsubscribers. According to the university’s investigation. business would be 25 per cent smaller without newspaper advertising. Not much betting on our spirited national campaign. One house in Wall Street has 1200,000 to bet, but says Roosevelt backers ask odds that are pot reasonable. Scientific important news, inaccurrate, let us hope, announces that the .. use of lactic acid by the mother will cause a girl baby to appear, whereas (Continued «n Last Page)

ELEVEN ARRESTED AS ROBBER GANG It is thought the numerous robberies in the vicinity of Goshen, Millersburg, Milford, New Paris and New Salem were solved by the arrest of 11 persons in raids in Millersburg and Goshen, early Saturday morning. Nearly ail of those arrested were members of the Goshen Council of Unemployed who have been receiving “relief” from the city, and who belong to the Communist Party of America, according to cards of membership in that organization found in their possession. It was found that approximately S2O had been pledged to the communist party by these persons receiving aid from the township trustee in Elkhart county. Those arrested were Norman, 20, and Clarence Stewart, 55, Barbara Stewart, 47, Clinton Stewart, 62, Nellie Stewart, 46, William Stewartj , Robert Stewart, 24, Donald Shannon 22, Ray Salisbury, 38, and Leo Stewart, 25. Norman, William, Leo and Robert Stewart and Shannon were charged with auto banditry, and the other charge, that of receiving stolen goods has been ftled against the others of the group. All of these were taken to the Goshen jail after the raids. Among those of this vicinity who lost property was Ed Klinger of NewSalem who had 80 bushels of potatoes stolen. Then 60 gallons of gasoline, and some tools were reported stolen from the B. & ,0. railroad section house at Milford The Wabash railroad tool house at New Paris w-as entered and gasoline and tools taken. A similar robbery was reported at Benton where a box car was robbed. The Showley • Tamale Canning Co., of New Paris was robbed of practically all its canned goods. Sheriff Harley D. Person of Kosciusko county and Sheriff Merl Forey of Goshen assisted by deputies made raids at the warehouse at Millers burg where some of the Stewarts were captured and at their homes in Goshen where two truck loads of stolen goods, , including potatoes, were discovered. Officers said the number of chicken feathers,, heads, necks and an axe found in' the basement of one of the houses would indicate that the arrest of the Stewarts broke up the chicken stealing ring which has been at work in Kosciusko and Elkhart counties. Yesterday Norman Stewart and Donald Shannon entered pleas of guilty and William Stewart was prepared to plead guilty in court in Goshen when Miss Marguerite P. Glaser of Gary, communist party attorney, arrived in court to defend them and her- plea for a continuance was granted. Bond was set at $2,000 each for the 11 persons. —o— — — — OUT ON PAROLE William Rarig (Bill) aged 77, who was sentenced to Michigan City, last year after the shootipg fray of August 5, 1931, visited his former home on Lake street, Sunday.

In the shooting last summer Rarig injured Frank Rosenbarry and Harry Cleveland, both of whom have recovered from their injuries. STARTS FURLOUGH On September 1, A. L. Miller started a four months furlough from work for the United Telephone Co. Other employes in the local office are taking care of business during his absence, assisted by J. W.

Tuesday morning, George Xanders filed a petition with the county auditor in Warsaw, to have the rbad which W. E, Long has been building on Kale Island, become a public utility, and a portion of the old Pickwick Park road vacated. Notices to that effect will be posted over the tow-ship in about 10 days. At the October term of commissioners court, viewers will be appointed. who after looking over the project, will either declare the new section of road a public utility, or not. j ’ If the viewers declare it a public utility, some hope is entertained that the $3,000, which is in the bounty budget fund for emergency purposes can be obtained to construct a bridge over one of the old channels which the new section of road passes over. I, An appropriation of $3,400 has been made for a new bridge by the commissioners, which if allowed by the council will not be available until next year. ! . The bridge on the old Pickwick road was put on as a temporary affair, and has to be replaced whether or not the new section of the road is declared a public utility, and because of this it is hoped the commissioners will allow the emergency fund to be used for a bridge as soon as the road is declared a public utility. Helvy, county road Superintendent thought at first that an old iron bridge which the county had, could be usejd, but after iboking it over, he said that it whs rusted through. The commissioners stated Tuesday that they knew of a good iron bridge which could be purchased for S3OO. JACOB WEYBRIGHT BURIED IN MILFORD ■ Funeral services for Jacob* F.
