A bitter,. acrimonious fight is waging between the and Republican parties aS to which spent the most money. "Liar” and worse are the forms of adjectives used in this political fray. . Out here in the country far from the state’4 capital it is rather hard ;•ob’..'n:. ‘ui biased, accurate reports tiUi -the state finances.

' The expenses of Indiana’s government during the month of July 1933 weie $2,265,623.07 less than in July, 1932.

In dur opinion both stories are correct Both parties have twisted their - The Republicans played upon /the w ord "total disbursement . ats , claim that the Republicans should have used the wftrd ‘expenses” and then a true story, would have been the result. After reading the following data sent out by the. Democrats, and comparing it with the figures released by the Republicans, one can make his own deduction as to which is right. No doubt the total disbursements: have gone up for comparative services, even the Democrats donH deny that, but they claim that expenses have gone down. Oh. my head!

V The time of many game wardens might be used more advantage than attending a trial of an elderly lady. There are still plenty, of “fish pirates. ” While we did not approve of the agricultural act. We think that a fanner is foolish for not curtailing his wheat crop and receiving 30 cents a bushel extra on their re mainder. It is an outright gift from the American people to the farmer for not working. AA traveling man remarked that if business men over the country w-ould stop worrying about what is going to happennext, and hoping ,for something big from the NBA, instead of following conscientiously their code, either blanket or specific, business would increase. As it is, he said everyone is upset and worried, and business in the last two weeks has decreased. Hugh Johnson has decided to bait Henry Ford into the open. Ford has more than proven that he is a match for Johnson when it comes to playing the waiting game. Johnson wants action, and so far Henry has refused to give him action. Sows and pigs are being led to the slaughter from whence only a few sides of pork are to emerge. The rest will be tankage. The American people will again foot the bill, and there is a probability that they will be asked to eat corn because there won’t be enough pigs to eat it, and the corn crop will be a surplus like the wheat crop. Corn Flakes ought to be cheaper then. SURPRISED ON BIRTHDAY Last Sunday when Mrs. Amanda Hunger arrived from church at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl O’Haver in Pickwick Park, 20 guests had gathered to enjoy a pot luck* dinner and surprise Mrs. Hunger on her birthday. Swimming was enjoyed by the younger folks, and music by the elders. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Alfred, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Bunger, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Bunger of Elkhart; Paul Vantine and Jean Goodman of South Bend; Mr. and Mrs. Forest Plank and son of Goshen; Mr. and Mrs. Emmit O’Haver and Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Shock. Mrs. Bunger received many nice gifts. ANOTHER FISH STORY When C. G. Wilber of Kale Island landed a 24 inch fish, Saturday, he claim* one of the neighbor’s told him it was a pike. The fish was cooked and eaten and enjoyed—until a man selling bait happened along and saw the head of the fish and told Mr. Wilber it was a dog fish.

But jus’ same I’ll finish this one. t So this fellow, what’s it Wilson, wants "constructive ideas” on social progress, not jus "Criticism.” Why not fro* me ’stead of fro- this Ballard person. » Criticizing society. Civilization,is all right. Good-thing. We could not get along without it. What is criticism if not diagnosis. finding out things.’ > Still, it don’t help to merely say, like Prof* Donovan; "The time is npe for the actual organization of a new society,” or Civilization, without showing how to do it. Yes. we must be constructive, also. with solid theory facts’. It was high time for a “new society”, in !!o A. I>. and before and since’. But look here: You do not send for a physician until you know that you are sick, until you feel a need for him. Some people die without knowing they need a doctor like “stroke” and heart cases. So, also, you want social changes only when you fee! the need or them, w hen you see that something is incomplete. Mind you, incomplete! But most Americans make this mistake! They just assume that the Thirteen Colonies, at one step, in 1776, moved out of their complete British MonarchyCivilization into complete, foolproof Democratic Civilization. Do you? Such folks capnot feel the need for a social doctor. They are asleep. Benjamin Franklin, . John Adans. Washington and others did a ntighty good job; but they could riot at that time do a complete job. . Why? I’l| discuss this later maybe. When you' send Tor a doctor he must do two things. First, he finds what is wrong, whether Hu. measles, etc. But he must then also find out what you yourself are your age, general health. He cannot cure until he does both And it is just the same in doctoring social things. First, we must diagnose-the case, find what hurts us whether economics, religion, or what. But then we must also take a look at society as a whole, .to see just what it is, its history and nature, and how it works. For you cannot safely deal with a machine without knowing about it, whether it is an auto or a social machine. So, to be “constructive,” we must BOOK REVIEW. Among the interesting books recently published by the Macmillan Co. , already in its sixth printing is “England, Their England,” by A. G. Macdonell. Christopher Morley, in his foreword to the book, says: “The Scot does not laugh hastily. 1 imagine Mr. Macdonell watching the oddities of England, calmly self-contained for (say) fifteen mature years. Then he could bear it no longer. Something snapped. He uttered a long and echoing guffaw. But in the actual relief x <»f this explosion he realized also that while laughing he had learned to love . . . .

mentally take our Civilization to pieces. When we do so, we find that it consists of five natural fields or divisions: five and no more, like a cut into five pieces. 1 like to. :iutY.ber these ' \e divisions and then associate the number's with the fingers, of iny hand. Thus! 1. Philosophy (The Thumb). Like the thumb. Philosophy certainly is first in importance. 2. Religion (index finger) is next in importance. 3. Education (great finger) follows Religion close- !». I. Economics (ring finger), and lasit and least, 5, Government, (the little finger). Now, that is the way to discover “constructive ideas”. Let us apply this formula to out country to any Republic in fact. We will find out how it came about that our Forefathers accepted a compromise instead of setting up a complete Democracy. That is what it is a compromise. And we will see just what we must do to complete the good work they started. For it is easily seen, if you feel the that our Government, only. was unchanged. They remained Monarchial as before. If they were all Monarchial in England and were not changed by us here, then aren\ they still Monarchial? « So we have Democracy, but only in Government. We have not Denio ; cratic Economics, nor Democratic Education nor Democratic Religion. You can prove this point by any dictionary. Democratizing gach <>f these other four divisions of our Civilisation is Man’s future social adventureproblem. Now , that is the way to apply “constructive ideas.” Can, you accept it? Or don’t you feel the need. So most of our Civilizations that are. anti-Democratic. That is the real cause of our troubles: Our house is incomplete. We are divided. No wonder it pinches and hurts us! And to “cure the patient” we must make him wholly Democratic, a Democratic unit. Thus may we complete the structure our Forefathers dreamed of and began. We must make all, parts of society Democratic: not merely the little finger (Government) but the whole “hand”; a united Democratic Civilization. ’ Thus are “constructive ideas” absorbed: that is, if you feel the need. •Note.

.WHEAT NEWS 1 i By Irvin J. Mathews _|_ -Emergency Agr’l Assistant | • • Wheat Grower Meetings. During the next few- , days, meetings of interest to wheat growers arej scheduled as follows: g Mentone. August 30, High,school! assembly room. Milford, August 31, High school; gymnasium. Etna Green, September 1, High school gymnasium. Claypool, September 5, High school assembly room. Interest Running High. During the first series of meetings which were run off, in which the plan was explained, interest ran high. The average attendance was 121 per meetingindications aie that wheat growers are going sled-length in this cooperative move with the government which aims to keep, production in line with effective demand. 83 Get Applications. The second series of meetings nowin full swing is for the purpose of handing out and explaining the application for toruract and the blanks which accompany them, to make it easier for the grower to submit the records which are required. That there is much interest among growers is tested by the fact that during the courtroom meeting last Fridaynight. 83 of applications and blanks were taken out by the wheat growers for the purpose of filling them out and returning them. Plant Truck Patch, . Question: “On the acre . which 1 contract to leave out of wheat production, can 1 plant a ti uckpatch.’ V. S. . • | Answer; The act says that you shall not plant anything on the contracted acres which is offered directly or indirectly for sale. This nieans that if the truck Which you plant on the contracted acres is Cor the use of the family then it definitely comes under the act. In faet I would recommend this use for the contracted /lores wherever it is possible because. I believe that the nearer fanners come to raising all the food possible that is consumed by the family the sooner we will get back to a parity price for farm products that are placed on the market. Question: “Can?l plant forest trees or a wind breslcon the acres which .1 contract To, leave out of w heat production?”- R. F. Answer: This is permissable under the act and personally I cannot recommend it too highly. I can not see why so many farmers haVe left their hofnes and farmsteads to be cuffed and blown about by the winter winds, wljen a windbreak would soon stop it all. Small trees cost little and soon get to be of enbrrnous advantage. Question: “Can I sow alfalfa this fall in the acres which I contract to leave out of production?” R. C. Answer: If you wererto-use all the alfalfa grown-on these acres to feed your horses, it would be permissable but in my humble judgment it is getting altogether too late to sow‘alfalfa yet this fall. It seetns to me that- it would be a belter plan to either sow the entire field to alfalfa in the wheat in the spring or to sow alfalfa in . the w heat and then summer fallow the acres which are left out of production until, the middle of July. Not many people ever fail with July sowing,, when sowing on ground that has enough lime and putting in inniculated seed. ’S— ,O — — ' HAS BRIDGE PARTY Mrs. Lloyd Disher entertained with a bridge party, Friday evening in honor of her sister who is visiting her.
