NEWPORT, Ind, Sept. 17.-Citi-
zens of Vermillion County are be-
coming increasingly indignant over
the persistence Of the Fedora Gov
eminent in spelling the county's
name with one'1" according to an
article printed the Sept. IA issue
of the Hoosier Star, published in
that town.
"Citizens of Vefmillion County are
becoming RED headed over the fact
that the postoffice department per-
sists in spelling the county's name
with a single q the article says.
1.-THE departments attention has
been called q number of times to
the incorrect photography but pro-
tests have been without avail"
So incensed have residents become
over the matter that in May, 1927
an appeal was sent to Secretary Of
State F. E. Schortemeier, at Indian
apolis, to determine what was the
exact status of the county's title.
The secretary examined mouldy
records at the statehouse, and
mailed a pedigree certificate to New
port, showing that local residents are
correct in their contention.
According to the records, the
county's name was spelled with two
81" when it was formed of territory
formerly located in Parke and Wa
bash counties. The constitution OF
the State also shows the same SPELL
ing.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IT.
American" prosperity for Europe.
That is what France and other
European countries are after when
they raise tariff rates or introduce
other startling commercial in
novations, is the belief of DR.. Julius
Klein, director of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce of
the Department of Commerce.
European countries no longer are
seeking pre-war ncrmalcy, DR.. Klein
told the Scranton, Pa, Chamber of
Commerce when 1t visited his office.
Europe now realizes that new
economic world has come into being
since 1918 and the task involves
not the restoration of Anticipated
conditions, but adjustment to new
business environment"
In Germany, DR.. Klein declared,
industrialists are devouring lit
erature on American factory
methods. In all the countries, in
Guiding Great Britain, they are
bordering American industrial
methods, with a view to bettering
standards of living and increasing
production and profits.
1--WE can take no exception to their
endeavors to conserve the benefits OF
this new development primarily for
the parties involved, through
preferential tariffs" DR.. Klein said
unless, of course, there be evidence
of discrimination"
American business, while It will
rejoice in Europe's increased buy
ing power, will have to take new
measure of its possibilities as COM
petitor, he indicated.
