Wheeler, writing for the Chicago Herald-Examiner under an Indianapolis date line says:— Indiana, which joined the Harding procession in 1920 with the landslide plurality of 185,000, is considered a doubtful state today. In fact, many of the ablest political chieftains of the Hoosier commonwealth are of the opinion that if a state-wide election were held today the entire Repub lican avalanche of 1920 might be wiped out. Indiana is one of the sorest states in the Union. That is one reason Another is the issue of “Newberryism" which Senator Harry New's vote for the Michigan senator has plastered on the state from end to end, Another reason is the senator's vote for the four-power alliance with foreign nations on the ground that the party leaders ordered such a vote. Still another rea son is the senator's vote against a free Panama Canal for American coastwise shipping. I Wheeler adds that the republicans i are slipping and the democrats “siti ting pretty’ and that the 185.000 majority of two years ago may be more than wiped out. Voters of Adams county will be given an opportunitv to hear two o' < Indiana's greatest democrats between now and the primary, Samuel M. Rais ton, former governor and well know , lawyer of Indianapolis and Daniel,W, Simms, an attorney of great ability ( from Lafayette, both of whom are , candidates for the United States sen- . ate. Mr. Ralston will speak here Fri , day afternoon of this week and Mr. Simms on the night of the 28th. You should hear them both for they bring a message every voter should hear, no j difference what his politics. You will at least agree with them on the facts they produce. i

John Tyndall has never faltered or failed a trust confided In him. Voters of the eighth district are taking no chances when they vote lor such a man for congress. Adams county is proud of him and believes if he is nominated on May 2nd he will be elected on November 7th and will fight for and vote for the people whom he represents. We are sure this is the unanimous opinion of the people of this county. Then why not support such a man by insisting on your friends over the district getting behind Tyndall for congress. It's the best thing you can do for your Interests whether you are a farmer, merchant or manufacturer.

The rain let up last evening and there are some indications of a few days of decent weather. At least this is the hope of every one for the question of getting in the crops is becom ing a very serious one. In this county no oats has been sowed or corn planted and there Is much to be done. The farmers are a month, behind last season and as a result they will be busy for months catching up. The floods have caused much damage and the high winds and young cyclones in various parts of Indiana have brought havoc. However a week of good weather will bring about better conditions and we are all sure pulling for the sun to continue on the job. We are going to have a cleanup week in Decatur and every citizen will take pride in assisting the city officials in making this a complete success. The looks of a town is just as important as the looks of an individual and you youldn't have much patience with a dirty looking person, would you? The stranger who comes to this city judges us by the appearance of the town and it is most important that we look presentable at all times. Now is the season when we clean up and have the rubbish hauled away and we should each and all give particular attention to the requests which will be made in a day or two by the city council. Let's shine 'er up. Two weeks from today is primary election and the occasion when you select your candidates for offices. You should use your very best judgment for the duty is an important one. These men will conduct the public busines of this county, district and nation and if there was ever a time when we needed capable and able men, this is the time. Ix>ok well to your ballot Miss Mayme Deininger was a business visitor in Fort Wayne Monday.

McCray April 23 to 29 A GROWING INTEREST In the Library ii Shown All Over State—Many Books and Pamphlets Indiana Library Week, proclaimed by Governor Warren T. McCray for the week of April 23-29, marks a new epoch In state library history. It represents on the part of the body of library trustees —of whom Governor McCray is one —a desire to bring home to the people of Indiana a realization of the value of the library to the community. And it indicates on the part of the average citizen a growing interest in the library and the things that it represents. In every city there are a few people who realize keenly the important place which the Public Library takes in community life. They use it, support it and tell others about its good work. The majority of citizens, however, are apt to take their Public Library for granted—a fine institution, of course, but not one which touches them very closely or which particularly needs their support. Here the yare mistaken. The Public Library has something to give every citizen. There is not a man so far advanced in his business or profession but that he can learn something from the experience of others. There are books and pamphlets on practically every kind of work which has been done, which give the experience of men who hame succeeded and are available as “tools" for those who wish to succeed. They give information, knowledge and power, qualities that are essential to the executive as well as to the employe. “Often a book is better for weariness than sleep, for cheerfulness than wine, a beter physician than the doctor, a better preacher than the minister.’ Frost is Prediction of Weather Bureau (Continued from page were the river to go much higher.
