The tens of thousands of visl- tors which he promised came, but they didn't spend, and the only harvest Elwood reaped was a flock of unpaid bills. I Capehart was irresistibly per- Isuasive.

"If you folks have any get up," he prodded them, "you lean make yourselves some real money. There will oe a nan mil lion visitors here, so don't be afraid to spend a little getting ready for them. "The way to make money is to spend some. If you've ordered i 10,000 buns, double it. You'll get your profit in volume." Elwood took this advice to V.Ht Kfaarl Vinf HntTQ ileal JJU113, Ul tivt, hamburgers, pies, melons, soft and ice cream were ordered by the mountain load.

There were enough edibles for a half dozen armies. The armies came, but they didn't eat. What happened was that the visitors who traveled by train ate on the train, and those who drove to Elwood either brought their lunches or ate somewhere else. The Republican national committee had a contract with the Robertson Catering Co. to supply all persons coming on the special trains of the Pennsylvania railroad with one meal on the train and a box lunch in Elwood.

Bills, Bills, Bills Capehart left town after the 1 notification, and Elwood was left holding the bag. With thousands of dollars of unpaid bills, the El- wood notification committee has only $13 in the treasury. Glenn Hills, wealthy Kokomo attorney and G.O.P. nominee for governor, contributed $5,000 to pay the most pressing bills. Largest unpaid accounts are owed to an Indianapolis decorat ing firm, which has placed its bill In the hands of an attorney; to an Elwood electric company which is talking of legal action if Its bill isn't paid soon; to an Elwood restaurant; to an Elwood 5-and-10-cent store; and to a bal-; loon company in northern Indl-' ana.

Among the loudest complainers are unpaid laborers and special policemen. One special policeman, Leslie Stone, finally got the $18 owed him when he told harassed Mayor G. M. Bonham he had joined the navy and needed the money before he left home. Ray Snipes, an unemployed W.P.A.

worker with five children In school, hasn't been so lucky. He still is waiting for the $8 he i claims is due him. Snipes wrote Willkie in Rushville, but hasn't reeelved an answer yet. LouU Moschell, 62-year-old jobless, estimates the loss of himself and his brother-in-law at $500. They were left with 350 pounds of hamburger, 9,000 buns, 200 pounds of Coney Island sand-; wich supplies, and 1,500 bottles of milk.

S. C. Head Tells Faith in Today'sYouth Faith In the ability of modern youth to meet and solve the problems of life created by two world wars was expressed last night by Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president of the University of Southern California, in an address before 400 W.C.T.U.

delegates in the municipal auditorium. "The chasm between the youth of today and their elders is wider than ever before," Dr. von KleinSmid said, "but youth is not responsible for the fact. Youth, which has grown up under the shadow of war, has learned to set things In their true perspective, stripped of the non-essentials which confused other generations." Speaking on the subject, "Youth and the New Day," Dr. Von KleinSmid pointed out that while young people are sometimes misunderstood, they possess an appreciation for the ideals of other peoples which, will give them th universal tolerance necessary to solve world problems in peace and to outlaw war.
