Ralston, nominee for the Unit- 1 ed States senate and others. According to all indications, the 1 ; democrats will force the taxation j question to the front as the main is- ! sue in the fall campaign, as a part of a general plan to enter the fight on state Issues. 1 “The Goodrich tax law is most 1 ; unpopular with people over the j * i state,” said Tom Taggart, leader in 1 state and national party circles, who L resigned this morning as treasurer of the state committee. , , Other suggestions which the advisory committee will make to the plat- () . form committee to be written as c i platform planks follow: j Restoration of home rule so far as " i possible in matters of taxation giving ' local taxing units a voice in fixing 11 « their tax rate.

It was predicted confidently that the platform committee would adopt many of the main suggestions of tlie advisers and that the "home rulers" wouldn’t carry out their aims looking toward repeal of tlie state utility law and abolition of the state highway commission. The convention will be in actual session tomorrow when the keynote will be sounded by Frederick Van Nuys and addresses will be delivered by Samuel M. Ralston, nominee for United States senator and other leaders. The state ticket will also be selected. Today was given over to love feastings.

One of the visiting delegates admitted that, expert as he was in “optobatics,” he had been violently effected by the disease on arriving on the street of Los Angeles. He attributed the effection to an effort to look in six different directions at once, toward two halted street cars and at the four corners of the street where the wind was blowing heavily. Local occulists explained, however, that the eye gradually becomes accustomed to such experiences and that it is rare for any permanent resident to be affected by flappereyetis. o YEOMEN, NOTICE All Yeomen are requested to be at the hall tomorrow evening at 7:30 o’clock to make arrangements ■ for the big Yeomen fair which will be held a week from Saturday night. O o | BACKS DECATUR PLAYGROUND MOVEMENT | 0— o The realization that provision shall be made to permit the children of Decatur to develop their natural instinct of play makes the writer feel glad in- , deed. Since children are prone to | find “Something’ to do —let us meet them with different instructive titlegames. Provision for various exercises on the different school lots, as | well as other lots, may be made for vaulting, jumping, hurdling, basket ball, dashes, tennis, swings, sand pits, teeter boards, rope climbing, volley ball, horizontal bar and medicine ball. Many other games, which will occupy ;he child’s mind, may also be introluced. The Civic Department of the Woman's Club is to be congratulated n starting Decatur playground move- I nent. Let us hope that al citizens of I Jecutur will help boost this movement ]| o give the “Citizens of Tomorrow” the 11 test that may be had by contributing I Iberaliy, and gladly. a Yea—let us go. M. F.

FIRST GROUP OF PRISONERS TO BE MOVED TO PENDLETON FROM JEFFERSONVILLE, JUNE 1 Jeffersonville, May 31. —The first group of prisoners will move from tlie Indiana reformatory to work on the new structure at Pendleton, next Thursday, June 1, it was announced Iby George Shideler, superintendent, here today. They will be housed in a two story frame building which is expected to be finished by that time and to be part of the permanent group of buildings. It will have a dining room for 100 men, two dormitories, a recreation room and kitchen, 011 the ground ( floor. The se.cond floor will house 11wenty-five officers and foremen, according to Shideler. This building can be enlarged if necessary, he said. It is being built at the Ttear of thirty acres enclosed Iby a thirty foot concrete wall. The first permanent unit will be a i power plant to be placed on the rear of the enclosure. A tunnel will exI tend from the front of the institution Ito the power house with lateral channels, to accommodate water, gas, electricity and other service mains. 1 The next step, Shileler said, according to the present plans, will be to I build a three or four tier cell house. There will be two such cell houses flanking tlie main entrance. Each will be sixty cells long. Two other cell blocks will radiate at an angle from the inner guards’ hall—a building 40 by 60 feet which will be the entrance to the institution. One of these blocks will have a ground floor dormitory to accommodate 200 with a room for movies upstairs. — ■ HEALTH THE SECRET OF ATTRACTION Women of today depend a good deal up on the modern modiste and a knowledge of the cosmetic art to make them attractive. Too often there exists beneath it all a suffering woman whose nervous laugh or forced smile covers a pang of agony caused by some feminine ill. To such a woman Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will bring health and a happy relief from her suffering, that will make her far more attractive than costly gowns and cosmetics. For iH'erly fifty years American women have relied upon this root and herb medicine to relieve their ailments. ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH English preaching services this evening at 8 o’clock by Prof. E.
