torn by bloody revolution a short
time ago. an interesting situation
was created a few days ago when
a government decree announced that
sO-called natural law Is to super
sede the constitution of the country.
This is, to some extent, return to
the law system of ancient Rome, and
apparently is designed to give the
government an even more extended
power than it already possesses.
AT the same time it was said that
negotiations, for some time progress
sing between Austria and Germany.
are making very good progress; the
object of this exchange of views is
to reach compromise on the question
of whether or not the two German
speaking nations should be united.
Austria, seconded powerfully by the
Entente powers, wants no merger;
Germany does, but, it seems. only as
a result of propaganda or what Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler prefers to con-
slider natural development.
Even more bewildering than before
has the Austrian situation become
since it is understood that the nom

Among the peoples of the earth
there is a growing suspicion that
nations preaching the blessings Of
disarmament at the same time they
build up vast armies and navies to
prepare for the curses of war, can
not be CREDITED with what is known
within the ordinary human family as
sincerity. Also, the conviction spreads
that not one of the great nations
really is interested in the cause of
disarmament, their lofty professions

Apparently the new CASTOR DOum-

its recent predecessors been, and one
evidence of that is the announcement

a fact that the country is not recOg-

question of foreign recognition forms
one of the complicated problems with
which the new emperor is faced.
1t can be a very serious one, too,
in view of the fact that the parlia-
ment of China has requested its gov
eminent not merely to withhold rec
ognition from Manchukuo, but also to
send punitive expedition to that
part of Asia in order to compel Japan
to restore it. There is some reason
to believe that the Chinese govern
ment will hesitate before taking such
a step. War costs money, as China
found out two years ago. And of
money China has previously little
that can be spared for a new armed
conflict with a power as strong as
Japan.

'This occasion is a tribute to the man

his untiring efforts for those who have
suffered misfortune, and as the one
who had the genius and the vision to

Warm Springs, the spirit which he has
inspired in those who have come here
for aid.
"As you know, the Warm Springs
Foundation was organized by Mr.. Roose-
welt a number Of years ago, and Is
operated for the treatment Of those
who have infantile paralysis. They come
here with impaired bodies and depressed
spirits. They leave with bodies i'm
proved, but also with strengthened
characters, determination to rise when
they fall, and to carry on despite all
handicapS; a spirit of cheerfulnesS, Of
self-reliance and confidence, which is an
inspiration to all mankind"
as an experiment. The idea was
to make use of in the most primitive
way the warm waters of the springs.
The genial climate of Georgia and the
soft warmth of the waters makes the
spot ideal for bathing and water sports.
Buoyed up in this sunshiny element
those afflicted with infantile paralysis
find again the use of their limbs. What
they are unable to do themselves the
water does for them. How wonderful
their beneficence is atteSted by the fact
that President Roosevelt had not been
a great while at the springs in the early
years of his treatment until he again
found the use of his legs. To the springs
hundreds of patients now come from all
over the United States and Canada.
The usual treatment covers a stay of
approximately 16 weeks.
There is every reason to believe that
long before the white man came into
Georgia, discovered the warm springs
and availed himself Of their temperate
and healthful ministrations, the Indiana

Recovery for the Nation,

y of economic paralysis, through
the application of new and un-
tried remedies to the body general takes
courage stout heart.
Recovery of hope and a new grasp
on life, a grasp powerful enough to
bring a wrenched and wracked body
back to the hilltop of strong and well
men again and shoot it on higher, to
heights undreamed of save by few,
takes a stouter heart-the heart of a
hearted"
Tuesday night thousands upon thou
sands of young and old, men and
women, will give testimony to that cour-
age-the courage of Franklin D. Roose-
velt in striking back at infantile paraly-
Sis, that would strike him down and
destroy his usefulness to the world, and
conquering it. They will dance to the
music of thousands upon thousands of
dollars rolling into the Golfers of the
Warm Springs Foundation, the home of
health and happiness to infantile
paralysis victims. The occasion? That
of the SD birthday of the President.

county last week, which was in the
interest of the Indiana Condensed
Milk company, relative to establish

time ago a survey was taken of the
county and report of same sent to
the company named. The report
was so favorable that the company
decided to investigate the situation
still further, and sent Mr. Caldwell,
one of their employees, here to make
a personal contact with the farm
ers, business men and citizens in
general, and to get their reaction
toward milk condensery. Mr..
Caldwell reports the survey as most
favorable in every respect. In all
during the survey 246 farmers were
visited, and of the number 241 had
cows, with a total of 1852, and 400
heifers to freshen. The farmers
manifested a splendid spirit. 1t is
believed that the milk company
mentioned will. soon make a decis-
ion either for or against locating a
