The most bitter critic. <>f the president would hardly < with knowingly end dtjJlETTatel y offering ' he knew to be . Without any foundation. That’would be inviting trouble, and the president, in the course of a tempei- / adn 1 ' stration, has seldom been in a position where he felt that he had to invite trouble. It .walked in on him. But suppose the president had gazed into a crystal globe, and. on : the day following the crash, an ndunced that the country was in for - the wdrVt depression the world had ever seen; that in the next two and a/half years steel would full from 261 t,» 25, the commodity price level w uld drop,i42 per cent and- that in the winter of 1932 some 25,000,(100 tn ally one out of every five ii.en, women and children in the nation, —w<juld be recipients of charity'.’ These things, then, being inevitable, the people much be courageous, immediately establish a government corporation with authority to lend about s2,’(M>OiOOO,odo to banks and private industry end to . the states, c nsolidate all forces to feed the hungry- and try to smile their tumbles away in the hope of a bet- . ter day .-. . , . I Provided the president had been ' able to -convince a! lunacy commiesion of his fitness to remain in ;the White House, he woultlnow be leguided as the world's most distinguished pessimist the man who asked for trouble and by his dire predictions brought it on. Washing- . ton Star, '.■- - . a ' MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS. Monday! and Tuesday of this week the weather -zenied to be ideal for fishnig. Geotge Colwell, who has been given the credit of being a -good fisherman by others said that the buss were not ’’hitting.” Floyd Stiieby was r. : see: . the lakes these two days. He pi a bably had consulted hik. fishing almanac and had found out that the sign was not right and left the unbelievers in fish signs to find out how bad the fishing really was when “the sign’’ was not light even though other indication* we.e favorable. Politics, so far. ,fra*e not aroused any great amount of enthusiasm, except among the profession*!*; In . fact the ma** of people are regarding polities with an that almost amounts to despair. This condition, no doubt was brought about by the fact that the two great, political parties have not advanced any theory <>f how to correct the present financial depression, one that the people can und'eratajfd and become 'enthusiastic owr. Neither have the leaders been. able to set the woteta on lire, either by word pr by their personalities. In truth most people are more worried as to how they are going to survive this winter than about who is going to be the next president. Commenting on the national political convention which the High School Seniors have planned to hold tomorrow. Miss Hamman said to be a proper national convention there must be a national hook up so that delegates from Massachusetts can say ’ Hello” to the folks back: home.

In all parts of the country not only ! banks, but department stores, hotels and all sorts of business concerns are i quietly reported u> be insolvent and ready to fold up. In the majority of instances there is no foundation of truth in the whisperings, but they have the effect of making the depression worse than it is. One of the conditions precedent to recovery is healthier minds and more hopeful dispositions. The moral is to discredit what the scandal mongers say. There has been enough! of real depression without making a bad matter worse by senseless chatter. Perhaps it will not be long before there will be equally spurious whispers of the millions of money this or that person made on. the Stock Exchange. If there must be whispering let it be optimistic. —Shoe and Leather Reporter.

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAE

COUNTY W. C. T. U. MET IN SYRACUSE W. C. T. U. CONVENTION The county W. C. T. U. convention was held in the Evangelical church Thursday with the County | President, Mrs. L. C. Oyler, presiding. After singing the W. C. T. U. Song of Praise, Mrs. Ora Irwine, county director of Evangelicalism, gave a splendid devotional address. Mrs. Etta Winans and Mrs. Sadie Hire sang “He Comes To Me.” Mrs. Oyler gave a report of her, year’s' work. The county officers and directors reported: Mrs. Lula Fermier, county vice president; Mra. Rose Baker, recording secretary; Mrs. Lulu Balliet, corresponding secretary: Mrs. Myrtle Luse, treasurer; Mis. Edna Niles, L. T. L. secretary. Local presidents reporting were as follows: Mrs. Lois Trumbull, Warsaw; Mrs. Lena Bauer, Syracuse; Mrs. Ora Irwine, Leesburg; Mrs. Rose Baker, Mentone. Duane Bauer gave a reading “A I Fable of ’Prohibition.” Mrs. Trumbull gave a report of the National Convention which she attended in Seattle, W«sh. A short memorial service for the departed members was conducted by I Mrs. Ferntier with Mrs. Willard singing “Glory Over Yonder,” prayer by Mrs. Wood*. Supper was served by the Syracuse ladies to the ministers, school; teachers and visiting W. C. T. U. ladies. Rev. Foust opened the evening service by reading the 97th Psalm.

The ladies quarj tette sang "When My Soul Reaches Home.” The quartett was composed i of Mrs; Etta Winans, Mrs. Esther! Osborn, Mrs. Lera Grieley and Mrs. Sadie Hire-. • Rev. Foust dismissed, the convention with prayer. —. PURDUE GIVES TIPS ON HOUSING PULLETS “Just because the pullets do not , have a new, or a nicely ‘dressed-up’ laying house is no sign they will not lay winter eggs, for suitable housing conditions can be supplied without these qualities,” says E. E. Schnetzler. of the poultry department of Purdue University. "It is true that some poultry houses have cracks and knot holes in the ends and back that should be closed before cold weatherm It may be j necessary to adjust the size of the opening in the south side. It may also be necessary to widen narrow. houses, and make other changes and repairs. But it is just as important! that the poultryman do this as cheap-; ly as possible in order that the ( house rent which the pullets will be i expected to pay may be reduced to a minimum.” According to Schnetzler a south opening in a house with practically j air tight ends and back in most cases, will provide suitable ventilation. ! Concrete floors laid on a six-inch bed ( of cinders, gravel, or crushed stone , along with proper ventilation and I not putting over one pullet to each three and one-half square feet of, floor space will help supply suitable ( conditions. Elaborate ventilating ( systems, aiHificial heat, and expensive insulating materials have not | shown sufficient gain in egg produc— ! tion to justify their extra cost. ■ THE RUBBISH PEDDLERS In a recent article in the Atlantic Monthly , = John Maynard Keynes, one of the foremost, economists of the world, said that “in the United States it is almost inconceivable, what rubbish a public man has to utter today j The reason for that is that most public men, particularly those in high office, minimize the intelligence of the public. They have seen themselves and others swept into office on platforms consisting mainly or solely of ancient platitudes, sonorousevasions, polysyllabic misrepresentations, and appeals to local prejudices. They have then acted accordingly. The public is largely to blame for this condition, not because of lack of intelligence, but because of a laissez faire attitude toward j the* business of government. If the aver> age well-informed citizen’ paid as little critical attention to his own business as he does to the public business he would be bankrupt. There are grounds for hope that present conditions have awakened the voter. They have tended to make us think —to look at government and government officers with new eyes., I If they have done that, the depression has been worth its cost. And the result will be that a good many officeholders, "whose stock in trade is bunk, will be looking for new jobs in the near future. PUT UP 1»51 BOTTLES Women of the Church of the Brethren put up 1051 bottles of tomato juice and grape juice, at the church last week, to be sent to the hospital of the church in Chicago. They are canning more today and then will fill orders given them by Pell Clayton and lake residents.

SOUNDED LIKE A WRECK Saturday morning Ross Franklin started to back his car out from where it was parked on Main street between Klink’s meat market and the Jet White, and it was just that moment when Robert Kitch of South Bend was passing, his car headed towards the Huntington-Main street crossing. There was a crash caused by two automobiles coming together, and a crowd quickly gathered. Neither machine was badly damaged, and no one was hurt.
