Entered at the poatoftice in Decatur, fndic-a. as second clshO Stall. The balmy days of spring hare arrived and if there is any poetical strain in your blood it ought to be bubbling over now. Shall we clean the streets and alleys or let them go? Right now is the time when a general cleaning up might be the cause of preventing an epidemic of disease. Robert Springstead is the postinas-ter-to-be at Indianapolis, according to information from Washington. He was backed by Vice President Marshall and Senator Kern, while Congressman Korbly favored Mr. Moore. ————— The Indianapolis News has begun a campaign to prevent the selection of Thomas Taggart as the successor of Senator Shively, insisting that he is building his fences with that end in view. Senator Shively has announced that he will be a candidate and Mr. Taggart has on various occasions insisted that he will not accept any office, so why worry about the improbabye things. Vice President Marshall seems to have touched a very tender spot in , his speech to the Wall street bankers i in New York recently. If the bunch there thought that by inviting the Hoosier into their midst they would prevent him from saying what he thought, they ought to be about ready to change their minds. We haven’t heard of him offering to take back * anything he said. The progressives at Indianapolis won in the contest for representation upon the city election boards, proving 1 eligability because they were second ; in strength at the last election. This 1

puts the republicans out of it, and the decision is important for it means that the same action will be taken next year when the state election is on, and it means, too, that this fact will keep the progressives in the field until they have been given a good licking. The Fort Wayne News is strong for Stephen B. Fleming for mayor. After all the abuse they have heaped upon him they are now insisting that he is the one man who would advance that city if he should become executive head. They also feel that an independent ticket should be put in the field. A few years ago when the republicans were in power everywhere and when they had a chance even in rock-ribbed Fort Wayne, it was different. The republican party must be in a very serious condition.

NOW CAR MANUFACTURER A- / / F / /-/. z // I FRANK P. FOX. Frank P. Fox, oil operator, accessory dealer and former race driver, will this year enter the racing game from another angle. Fox is known throughout the country as one of the best drivers who ever faced a starter’s gun. but now he comes before the public as a car owner and manufacturer. He has entered the Fox Special, a car manufactured by himself, in the third annual 500-mile International Sweepstakes Race, which will be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30. Fox has the distinction of being the man selected by Detective William Burns to drive the car in which John B. McNamara was taken away - from Indianapolis after his arrest sot complicity in the famous dynamite case. Fox will not drive his own car in the 500-mile race, having nominated Howard Wilcox for that position, but j he will be on the job nevertheless, and the car which is being built en-1 tirely in accordance with his ideas, will embody much of the experience ! he gained in handling speed chariots ’

BURMAN IN RACE •SPEED KING" FINDS CAR THAT SUITS HIS FANCY. Will Undergo Thorough Training Course That He May Drive Entire 500 Mlles Himself. That Bob Burman, the Speed King, will drive a Keeton car in the third annual 500-mile International Sweep stakes Race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, May 30, is now an assured fact, formal entry of the cat having been made by the Keeton Manufacturing Company, of Detroit, Michigan. This signalises the entry of the Keeton Company into automobile racing, in which Forrest M. Keeton, president of the company, is a firm believer. Keeton was in charge of the racing interests of the Pope Manufacturing Company in the earliest days of the Vanderbilt race, when Herbert Lytle and Bert Dingley were the stars of the team. After superintending the construe tion of his car at the Keeton factory, Burman will begin his training at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, for he believes that in no other way could he tit himself for the contest of which he hopes to be one of the winners. Burman selected the Keeton car during his visit to the New York Auto motkle show, where he went from California with the avowed purpose of selecting a car suitable for a gruelling contest such as the Indianapolis 500mile race always proves. He is convinced that the Keeton is just the car to make an excellent showing in the long distance event. Burman's fame as a driver has spread far and wide and the fact that he will again be seen on the Indianapolis Speedway is filling the hearts of motor enthusiasts with joy. •

Burman has determined to drive the entire 500 miles of the race by himself, if such a thing is possible, and with that end in view he will undergo a thorough course of training at the hands of a competent physical director. Believing that the physical strain upon a race driver is equal to that of the man who is called upon to display his prowess in the prize ring, the football field or the baseball diamond. Burman will maintain training hours, will regulate his meals so as to prepare his stomach and will endeavor to be In tip-top physical condition by May 30.

He began bis career as a car tester x and drove racing cars Incidental to his other duties. He was the winner of the Illinois trophy race at Bigin three years ago, averaging 65.3 miles an hour. He is a daring driver, but he has reduced hie method to an exact science, and it is Expected that he will give a good account of himself when he appears at the wheel of bls Stutz car in the third annual five-hun-dred-mfle International Sweepstakes I Race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedj way May 30.

Wayne, Pa.; December 20, Valentine & Co.; New York .jk'gL' Gentlemen—l wish to say a good word in reference to Valspar. I have used this varnish in October; 1907, on extreme outside work where it was not »«,„ yf] protected from anything. This month we went back H ——-O XT! to same job and gave it one coat, finding this was KI Y/.'Tr ’’"" 1 I z : all that was required as there was plenty of body still M J I ,j > left, only dead here and there. I have tried ail kinds of outside varnish here before, but must say this is the best of all. HJL ggjj -SsS* 1 I I know there cannot be too much said about such ■* r -'-KA ** an article, and I also know there are plenty of men j looking for such varnish, but don't know where to find . it. I shall never buy another as long as it remains B WnwwacowMn 1J what it is and hope many more will find out the good results it gives. I remain yours very truly, Eg R. S. LUCKENBILL. . . P THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. Made bv ' 7 VALENTINE • COMPANY Don’t Wait for the ° Wood to Show f Before You Paint! Postponing painting is like putting off payment of taxes. You are only piling up expense. The wise man paints often, so that there is always a protecting film of paint between his house and the elements. The more durable the paint, the less often this must be done. The most durable paint in the world is WHITE LEAD PHOENIX when mixed to suit the conditions of the wood. All good painters do it this way. Make sure that yours does it, too, and that he uses Dutch Boy white lead and linseed oil. Drop in at our store and get our “Painting Points,” containing valuable suggestions on a selecting color schemes for inside and outside your home. The Holthouse Drug Co.
