Indiana, as second-clnes matter It is said that in a number of eastern dubs golf balls containing a good, stiff drink of liquor is now provided the players. Now we understand why the first rule of the game is to keep your eye on the ball. The candidacy of Senator John W. Tyndall for congress is meeting the approval of the men and women of the district, according to all reports reaching here and the offers of support from people in every walk are genuine. They realize the district should be represented by just such a man as Tyndall, who will work every minute of his time for their interests. Tomorrow is the last day for tiling declaration of candidacies and it is expected there will be a last rush. In this county there are still a num ber of places to be filled on the two tickets, including committeemen. The primary will be held on May 2nd and the next month will be a busy one particularly for the democratic candidates in this county for there are contests for most of the offices and the men are busy. The naval limitation treaty was ratified in the senate by an almost unanimous vote, Senator Frame of Maryland being the only one to cast an opposing vote. The people of this country believe in the limitation treaty and the greater the limit the better they are pleased. For a long time we have needlessly expended mony in a show navy and now with the airplane and perfected bombs giving the means to destroy the big battleships in an hour or two,, why keen

The supply is limited, so you bad better order yours early in the morning. When choosing your dessert, it is best to S use the same delicate caution, with which you select the rest of your menu. When buying Conter’s Ice Cream you arc assured of the same quality, purity, flavor, j service, which has marked our steady proj gross as caterers to the Ice Cream Trade. A If Center’s Ice Cream cost more, it would / be worth the price. But you can buy it for ' the same price you would have to pay for just • ordinary ice cream.

r on wasting the money? If we prepare | for peace we will have It and just as surely If we prepare for war we will I. get that. The people have had their r fill of war, sufficient to do them for several decades at least and it is r P wise to adopt any policy which tends for peace. Our people are satisfied with the naval treaty. I n f ■ * It takes more than a fire to stop a ( newspaper man like William G. HosI fer of the Willshire Herald. Ten i days ago his home and his office were 1 wiped out by fire. He saved a job ' press and a little type and Thursday of this week his paper came out in new form, twelve pages 9x12, full of interesting news items, advertiaißg announcements and, snappy editorials. Mr. Hoffer is a man who does things and he prints one of the best country weeklies in the middle west. The belief that approximately onethird of the children in Indianapolis

schools are improperly nourished seems to be justified by such exam inations as were conducted last week by experts. The trouble is not alone with the kind and amount of food given to children, but with the failure of parents to realize that young children should have the benefit of a reg I ular schedule of activities, that they should get plenty of sleep in well ventilated rooms, and that play should be regulated with some regard foi the child’s strength. Parents who have observed the extension of school interest in children outside of the school room with some alarm, fear ing that the state is going too far as foster parent, can hardly find fault witli such activity when it is clearly shown that a third of the children are not being properly cared for at home. The state reached out and de manded education of all children as a safeguard against destruction ot the state through ignorance. It now goes further and demands well nour , ished children. —Indianapolis News. We don’t know where the idea of spring cleaning originated, and w< don't care much. But we are thankful that each year finds more people awakening to a realization of the facl that the house-cleaning habit is the greatest protection to life and prop erty that the American people car cultivate.

place In which to live, and which will also reduce danger from fire, to worth while. House cleaning wjjl do all of this, and more. Rubbish that accumuated during the winter months, boxes or barrels of waste stacked against alley fences, careless disposition of ashes and paper provide unsightly spots and increase the danger of disease or a serious conflagration. Now is the ideal time for cleaning up the attic, ,the cellar, the yard and the alley. Now is the tune to make improvements that will mean safety throughout the summer months. A little paint here, and a coat of whitewash there, a liberal use of hammer and nails on broken fences or out buildings will not prove expensive when we take into consideration the loss we are apt to suffer if the work is delayed or allowed to remain undone. Don't wait for your neighbor to start house cleaning, but set a good example yourself. Pitch right in and improve your property, brighten your own surroundings and he will have pride enough to fall into line.

The People’s Voice WANTS CLEAN SHOWS. Editor Democrat: — The picture shown at the. Mecca Theater, Wednes day. "Don’t Neglect Your Wife’’ is an affront to American civilization; it tears down our ideal and shatters the tradition upon which our high stand ards have been builded —the home. A school-boy, capable of passing an eighth grade examination and who knows the tenderness of a mother’s caress, writing a story would never descrate the home as is done by the au thor of the picture in question. Thc inferences drawn from such pictures as “Don't Neglect Your Wife,” are very demoralizing. It is time the photo play houses demand that for which they are paying—a good, clear first class entertainment free from the villanious portrayals of the underworld. REEL GOSSIP THE VALUE OF TIME Time is the one thing that can never be retrieved. One may lose and regain a friend; one may lose and regain money; opportunity once spurned may come again; but the hours that are lost in idleness can never be brought back to be used in gainful pursuits. Most careers are made or marred in the hours after supper.—New York World. One step won't take you very far. you've got to keep on walking; one word don’t tell folks who you are. you’ve got to keep on talking. One inch won’t make you very tall, you’ve got to keep on growing; one little ad won't do it all. You’ve got to keep them going.—Team Work. ’Tain’ no sense o' frettin’ ca'se a man im’tates yo’ goods—long ez he hab t’ toiler yo’ tracks he ain' apt t’ pass you!—Uncle Mose. HUBAM SWEET CLOVER NO BETTER THAN OTHER Tire propaganda to boost the sale of seed of Huban or annual sweet clover has struck another snag in that some of the experiment stations have found it to be inferior to the common biennial variety for either forage or soil improvement. Some very extragant statements claiming wonderful merits for Hubam are being circulated in the newspapers and Purdue University is being flooded with inquiries regarding them. “Experiments comparing Huban with the common biennial white sweet clover have shown that the biennial wil make just as much and considerably beter hay in the same length of time", said Prof. A. T. Wiancko of the soils and crops department of Purdue. “As a crop for plowing under for soil improvement, the biennial produces fuly as much total organic matter, makes several times as much root growth and brings to the soil twice as much nitrogen as the Huban in the same length of time. The only place we can see for the Hubaneis as a seed crop while the price remains high. That, however, seems to be a thing of the past and it is probable that by next year Huban seed wil not sell for any more than the biennial.” — ■ I, ■ e Quick Come Back. A well-know Senator went to /i political meeting In Kentucky./ Tfai train was very slow —so slpw that be complained ,to the conductor. ,<“if you, dbu't like the train, you can ' get' out and walk,” grunted the conductor. "I would,” replied the Senator, "but they don’t expect me till this train arrives.”

I • BOATS OUT AT Ft. WAYNE. ' Ft. Wayne. Ind., March 31.—A police boat patroled the flooded water of the Maumee, St. Joseph and St. Marys riv- • era here tofciy to protect families livI ing in the lowlands. Residents of . Lake Side, Spy Run & Nebraska were fearful as the rivers continued to rise from rains of the last few days. In Bloomingdale and in Lakeside cellars are rapidly filling with water and part : of Baltes Ave., hero is under water. . — —* TWO CHILDREN DROWN. (’rawfordsxille, Ind.. March 31.—The lifeless body of seven year old Mildred Meagher clinging to that of her brother, Gordon. 8, were found In a small creek which flows back of their home today. ' The children throwing tin pans into the creek were carried away by the current when the bank gave way. A downpour of rain converted the dry bank into a torrest. The father of the children, Mr. William Meagher is a barber. e FENTON JUMMPS IN LAKE Chicago, March 31.—Wm. T. Fenton, wealthy Chicago financier committed suicide today by jumping into Lake Michigan. Fenton, 70, vice-president of the National Bank of the republic, drove to the lake from his home in a taxi. As soon as the driver had disappeared he apparently had jumped into the icy water. 11l health was given as the reason. FREEZING WEATHER TONIGHT Indianapolis, Ind., March 31. —Freezing temperature tonight and fair weather tomorrow' may forstall the effectiveness of a wide spread flood which threatened Indiana today from recent rains. The lower part of the state will suffer however with White and Wabash rivers and their tributary streacs overflowing according to J. H. Armington, government weatherman. Five inches of rain has fallen in the last four days around Vincennes and the lower'channels of both rivers will go out of their banks, Arlington said. In central Indiana the rain has been lighter and the rivers will not be flooded to such great proportions. OFFICERS ELECTED. At the meeting of the Ladies Missionary society of the Christian church held yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Charles, the following officers were unanimously elected for the coming year. President, Mrs. MeClaflin; vice-president, Mrs. Charles; treasurer, Mrs. Fisher; secretary, Mrs. Geo. Steee. After appointing the executive and program committees, refreshments were sevred. The next meeting of the society will be held Thursday afternoon, April 13th, at the home of Mhs. McClafiin 13 W. Adams street. ■- - • NASSAU IN FLAMES (United Preea Service). Nausau. Bahama Islands, March 31. —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Nausau, mecca for winter tourists and center of rum running activities, was partly in ruins today as a result of a fire. The fire started in the laundry of the biggest tourist hotel here, the Colonial, and spread forcing firemen to dynamite other buildings to save the city from destruction. There were no casualties and the fire was brought under control today. BLAMES THE OPERATORS United Press Service. Washington, March 31, —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Blame for the nationwide w'alkout of coal miners, now under way, rests on the operators, secretary of labor Davis declared in a statement which is accepted here as the official view of the government. The operators, Davis said, have failed to “fulfill their contract obligations” to meet the miners in a national wage conference before April 1. - • A valveless, gearless engine for automobile use is being made in Manchester, England.
