by Arthur Brisbane ; PRAISE ROOSEVELT MR. HITLER COPY CATS UNCLE SAM IN BUSINESS TURKS AND AMERICANS President Roosevelt will be remembered for many things, heaven only knows how many, at the rate he is traveling in unexplored fields, but praised by no one more greatfully than by 15,000 American postmasters whose jobs and future he seeks to make secure, planning to put them under civil service rules, no longer to be the plaything of politics. This is all the more praiseworthy since these postmasters are, generally, republican appointees. Chancellor Hitler, borrowing from President Rooeevelt, or perhaps he thought of it' himself, puts all German business under government supervision. Business and labor will be under police control, with strikes, lockouts, and other- labor disputes “suppressed.” Later there is to come | a definite arrangement of all these; things. . Here, various codes” governing l industiy .and business are expected to; end much wastfulness of strikes and lockouts. Unl**.«> certain that you have pro-| vided for everything, old age ihclud-j ed, keep going. It is very hard to be sure. and. dangerous to stop. In New fork Dr. E. .M. Well thought he had enough, letirtM, found at the age of sixty that he must work again and tried to'rebuiid his aban-j donod practice. - The attempt failed; and a friend found Doctor Well and j his little dog could not make a liv-j knew the dog could not make a liv-1 inf and gave it strychnine before I taking the poison himself. - The moral is: Keep on working. Idleness iy dull: and. it is dangerous since the bottom can drop out of anything. Government tells farmers to reduce | wheat acreage 2o per cent, tells the cotton men. to reduce. Suddenly, it discovers that' this year's wheat crop will he the smallest in 40 years; the o.t’ ct<>p smallest on record. That may explain the sudden use in gram prices. Speculators . knew' what was going to happen before the government knew. The government will investigate, regulate, and, if necessary, direct every kind of business. That is the bigge.'i news since the war Started A minimum wave and a nhArimum “hours of work” schedule will apply to every business and industry. Under the rule of the sultan and his pashas in Turkey, citizens were careful to hide their wealth and look pooi What the pashas saw they took. Americans know how-these Turks, felt. Whatever government—national, state or local sees it takes in part. New York needs money and proposes, through the board of aidermen hairdressers, hat check ladies, soda waler salesmen, motion picture machine operators, candymakers and “cosmetologists” who work in beauty parlors. | Thus far nobody has suggested taxing the baby’s rattle,' but that may come. The United States government proposes, a kidnapping law to cover the whole country. That would interfere seriously with kidnaping enterprises, in which local officials spmetimea cooperate, as in a recent case when a policeman arrested the kidnaped man and turned him over to the professional kidnappers. If the government’s secret service takes kidnaping as seriously as it does counterfeiting, it will be bad for kidnapers. ■e ' News from Washington pleases big oil companies and those that own their oil stocks. The President, under the industrial recovery act, prohibits shipment in interstate com-| merce, of oil distributed in violation of stale conservation laws., Secretary Ickes, who knows the importance of government regulations to protect the Country’s oil supply, says this will stbp the illegal shipment of 500.000 barrels a day. Money is not plentiful in Japan. One state in this Union is richer than the Japanese empire. But where self defense is concerned Japan does not hesitate, and she will spend $156000,000 to build up her navy to equal Britain’s or the United States*. The Japanese keep up to date. They will spend $48,000,000 on eight new air fleets, build six new submarines, eight torpedo boats, fast cruisers, aircraft carriers of high speed and not one battleship. The arrest in New York of Joseph Toblinsky and his son, Henry, shows that-racketeering is not new. Thirty years ago Mr. Toblinsky was convicted as • horse poisoning racketeer. He put arsenic in the feed bags of truck horses whjm the owner of the truck would not pay “for protec- " tion." This time he is arrested for kidnaping Mr. Bornstein and taking his truckload of woolens. Now Mr. Bernstein admits that ho made a deal to be kidnaped and lose the truck, and he to in jail also.

$6,000,000 TO BE SHARE FOR INDIANA — This Sum Alloted by U. S- for Growers of Wheat. Upwards of $6,000,000 will be distributed by the Federal government ;to Indiana wheat growers during September and October this year under provisions of the agricultural ! adjustment act, to bring the price received by the farmer for his 1833 crop to a parity purchasing power on a basis of the pewar period of 1909-1814, if ail producers make applications for it. | This is Indiana's share of $140,000lOOU which has been allotted by Secretary Wallace to pay wheat farmers throughout the nation on this year’s crop in lieu of a reduction in their acreage up to 20 per cent, it asked to do so, for the 1934 and 1935 crops. An excise tax of 30 cents a ■ bushel, now being collected from all processors of wheat, will provide the funds for payment to the growers. I The farmer will receive about 28 I cents a bushel from the government for approximately 60 per cent of his ' production (domestically consumed | proportion) in addition to any regu- ! lar market price which he may receive. The tarm bureau along with other organized agricultural groups was instrumental in securing the I new’ farm relief law. By Counties and Townships. M. L. Wilson, administrator of • the wheat adjustment plan, explain- ! ed the mechanics of the program at a legional meeting of state agricultural extension forces held in Columbus, O. , last week. Os first importance. Mr. Wilson pointed put, is the fact that the authority is decentralized and divided down to the counties and townships, with the wheat farmers themselves in control of adminstering the plan for themselves. The first step, in an Indiana county for example, will be a preliminarymeeting of a campaign committee, consisting of some seven to nine men and the county agent, or the emergency agent who will be appointed in noncounty agent counties. This temporary committee will plan and conduct the educational part of the campaign and assist in forming the permanent organisation. They are simply the starting agency and once the thing is started, this temporary pommittee will dissolve entirely, During the latter part of July and the first part of August this committee will supply news and direct mail educational service throughout the county and they will decide howmany community meetings or township meetings shall be called to best serve the county, and where these meetings shall be held. The meetings will then be called and every farmer in the community is invited. The temporary committee will also mail to each wheat farmer an application blank for a contract. On this application blank the farmer will indicate whether he wishes to participate in the plan and share the benefits, although this preliminary application will not be binding on him. On this application he will state what his average wheat acreage and yields have been for the last three years. . ■ At the time of the first community meeting the entire plan will be explained and discussed. Literature will be distributed explaining every (Coniinucd on Last Paget ACCIDENT PROVES FATAL TO DEFRIES John DeFriea, whose leg was mangled when he accidently stepped ; into the cylinder of a threshing j machine, Wednesday last week, submitted to amputation. of his leg in the Elkhart hospital, on Thursday, but his death occurred Saturday morning. Mr. DeFries was working on the Robert Chilcote farm near Leesburg, in charge of one of the threshing machines of his nephew, James Traster of Syracuse, when the accident occurred.

RESIDENTS OBJECT TO BOAT BUSINESS Complaining that the boat livery which John Fleming has put in at the end of John Street was a nuis- , ance, Charles Bowersox and Mr. Holland appeared before the town board Tuesday evening and . asked that the board take action to have the boat livery moved. After considering the matter the board decided to ask Fleming to move the boat livery. Mr. Fleming is living in the Ellis property on John street near the lake. Bowersox and Holland claimed when the wind was blowing the metal boats moving around made noises resembling a boiler factory. They said some of the people who rented Fleming’s boats trespassed on their property which is situated on the lake front on both sides of John street. Mr. Holland stated that some fishermen had exposed themselves and that- a situation had developed wherein his wife could no longer stay there alone. < When Fleming rented the Ellis property several weeks ago, he askthe members of the town board, individually if he could use the foot of the street for a boat livery. The members told Fleming to consult his neighbors, and if they had no objection to put in his pier and conduct his business. At Tuesday’s meeting, Bowersox said he had told Fleming what would happen if the boat livery was put in, and Holland claimed that Fleming had said nothing to him. Anyway, Fleming put in the pier and p|it a sign in his yard announcing boats for rent. After that happened, Bowersox claimed, the peace of the neighborhood was disturbed by noise, and men prowling around. He also claimed the road to the lake was being ruined by cars running in there. When asked his opinion as to what could be done, Warren Colwell, town attorney, stated that the streets ate for public and not for private enterprise. He said that the town has jurisdiction over the streets and ihat the board could either let the boat livery remain or have it removed. After some discussion the town board decided to ask Fleming to remove his livery. They took into consideration that Fleming depended upon the boat rental for his living, and stated they would help him locate a vacant lot where he could rent his boats. — 0 “AG” TEACHERS OF COUNTY AT MEETING At the meeting of the county agricultural teachers in Warsaw’ last week, a tentative schedule of work for the schools was adopted.
