The campaign managers for Senator New and Albert Beveridge have agreed not to engage in personalities against each candidate. Both sides must know something that they do not want the public to find out. Well their managers should kuow. The milk campaign to be conducted in this county next month should create a bigger demand for milk and Its products. Milk is one of the best foods available, both for young and old and you should drink and use more of it. Senator Tom Watson broke loose in the senate again yesterday and de manded that Andrew Mellon, secretary of the U. 8. Treasury resign at once. The charge is rather sensation al, but that's the style of Watson. The Georgia senator says Mellon should resign or be impeached because he is one of the wealthiest men in the country, controls large manufacturing and banking institutions and seeks legislation beneficial to him, and that by holding office he is Violating the law. It's doubtful if Watson will get far with his charges. President Harding has come out against the state wide primary, his political preference in the choice of party nominees being by caucus or convention. The primary as far as the president is concerned no doubt seems useless as when he was a candidate he ran fourth in the race, but in the convention got the nomination. Why wouldn't the primary seem useless to him? Then again, he may be thinking of his “buddy,” Senator Harry S. New, who might stand a better chance of getting the nomina tion in a convention than in the primary election next May. The fight

against the primary will ba watched with interest M-LU l_ UILU-Jt Regardlees of any propaganda that may be circulated to the contrary it in a fact that excellent hard-surfaced roada may be constructed without the use of ceifient and it may be possible that in this fact lies a sole tion of the troubles the state administration is having over the high cost of cement concrete road work. Twenty-two states have or are now laying surfaces for highways without the use of cement. In most of these instances the hard-packed gravel and crushed stone that has formed roads for years is being used as the foundation for a top dressing of asphaltic origin and the resulting highways have proved satisfactory. While they are doubtless less permanent

than either the cement concrete or the brick surfaced roadways, highways constructed in this manner present solid surfaces that require only a minimum of care and can be laid at far less cost than the type of construction which has been used so generously in this state. Cement manufacturers are by no means dependent on road construction for outlets for their product. In fact, they have heretofore made the statement that highway construction is only

one of numerous uses to which their product is applicable and it is not necessary for their prosperity that any cement be used in highway construction. In view of the fact that the Attorney General and the Governor have expressed themselves as being by no means satisfied with the dentical bids submitted by the cement manufacturers for the privilege of supplying the state with cement for its highways, the advisability of onstructing roads without cement is it least worthy of close consideration.—lndiana Daily Times. — CANDIDATE FOR CLERK Please announce that I am a candilate for the Democratic nomination or county clerk, subject to the decison of the voters at the primary, May 2nd. 4tx TILLMAN GERBER. s .

Ohio Great preparations are being made for the Duroc Jersey hog sale to be held at the Tabler pavillion on West Washington street by Ray arvey. on next Thursday. Indications point that there will be a large crowd present on that occasion. A large number of our basket ball fans left here for Fort Wayne last Friday to witness the game played between the Catholic high school team and the Monroe high school team, which resulted in a victory for Monroe by'Score of 37-13. It is said that the game was fast and that the local five never were in better trim. The Decatur team played here Tuesday night and a game is scheduled between Monroe and Monroeville on the night of Fteb. 21. The fire has been kindled under the political pot and it is already beginning to sizzle. There are three avowed candidates for the office of township trustee of Monroe township and possibly a fourth one may bob up. While the election is some two months off, yet the candidates have already opened the "dance” and persist in keeping the same fresh in the memory of their constituents. The active candidates for the office are —Otho Lobenstein, David Depp and Vince Mattax, who are now busy In the work and expect to keep at it until the last hour on May 2, 1922. The long and much talked of basket ball game was pulled off here on Tuesday night when the Decatur and Monroe high schools clashed. The girls and high school teams of Monroe and Decatur played. The local girl team was defeated by a score of 24 to 3, the eighth grade teams resulted in a score of 18 to 9, in favor of Monroe. The big game between the two first high school teams was a one-sided affair from start to finish, and resulted in the defeat of the Decatur team, the score being 57-9.
