Easter Sunday, a day of religious importance and the real opener of spring whether you think the weather is just right or not. it comes tomorrow and custom makes it the day for new togs. The price of railroad mileage tick ets has been reduced and now it it were not for two reasons —the time and the money—we would "knock off" and take a nice trip to Califor nia or Florida or some place where the fishin ’is good. Russia wants a shipload of cats During the hard times following the war they ate their cats. Now the rats are eating them and they are yelping for felines. Why not treat the rats as they did the cats or pass a law putting them out as they die Santa Claus? Now the president is to investigate the sugar prices. Measured by re suits of coal investigations and others of recent date, that will add a cent or two a pound to the price Wc fail to remember any federal in vestigations which ever resulted t< the good of the consumer. Do you? A scientific son of a gun who hasn't much to do, has figured if out that a full-grown oyster produces hine million eggs a year. That ought to make every Leghorn it Adams county green with envy. But what's the price of oyster eggs? We never heard. Plant trees and shrubs. April if the month and all over the country there is a movement to do more of this than in previous years. Wc have much shade in Decatur but there is always room for another tree or two. If wc don't keep on planting, those who live here after while will not have shade. There is more pleasure in safe driving than in taking part in a ter rible accident and as spring ap proaches—the season for getting out the old bus and living in the great outdoors—it’s well to think of these things. Besides this, the continued violation of law is a serious business for it means eventually you will land in police court. The ground hog must have had his headquarters somewhere around Balm Beach this year. It's a cinch be hasn't been banging around the "Soo," where the weather for tlx weeks has been the severest of the w inter. And if he has been sitting around outside his parlor In this re gion. he’ has been ashamed of his prediction many times, no doubt. We are not living in the past. We run a feature on "Twenty years ago today" and another on “Do you remember way when?" This need not make any one think that wo are not alive to the present and the future and just us anxious io progress. These items give an idea of what wc are doing by comparison as well as furnish delightful moments for many readers. There are niany who believe that th' same evidence marshaled against R. O. Johnson, mayor of Gary and by which he was convicted of conspiracy in the booze eases which dosed

thia ftcraiag, oould le uocured against the mayor of any largo city tn tjte state Upon violations of the law are common almost everywhere , and usually because of Incotape- . teney or methods of protection. , Lawrence Lyons, republican state chairman of Indiana, resigns from the Ku Klux Klan and denounces J them publicly. It took him some I time evidently to make up his mind [ they were un-Amcrican and perhaps the notice he got from the Unity League which is an organization in oppostion to the klan, had something to do with his action. Draw jour own conclusions as to the ability of the foxy chairman. Thirty-six years ago yesterday, the town of Berne was incorporated. In that period of a little more than a third of a century, the town has progressed as have few in the state. II a now recognized as one of the thrifty, law-abiding, splendid com i iunities of -the middle west with fine citzens, good business Jiouses. Irst class banks, excellent manufactories and wonderful churches and chools.

3TATE IS READY TO STOCK LAKES WITH FISH Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 29.—From a total of 259 applications for baby fish or stocking public waters filed in ■9lB, the demand increased to 720 applications filled by the fish and game divisions of the state conservation department in 1922, George N Mannfeld, division superintendent, said today, announcing that every es fort is to be brought into play to augment production of fry and fingerlings this season. Records in the conservation office show that the division propagated j filled applications to the number of 259 in 1918; 274 in 1919; 329 in 1920: 399 in 1921, and 720 in 1922. Appliea- ■ lions for 1923 now on file exceed those of last year, and the order books will close April 1.

Requests arc filled in the order in which applications are filed. In says. This year an attempt will be made to propagate for tho first lime channel ‘ cat, owing to the many requests for, this specie. The experiment will be tried at tho Riverside Bark hatchery.

San Diego, Cal.—lt was his "damn | fool altruism" which made it possible I fur him to be accused of the mur- I der of Fritzl Mann, oriental dancer, according to Dr. Louis L- Jacobs, on I trial here of the murder of Mies I Mann. Miss Mann's body was found I ' a little more than two months ago on ■ , the beach at Torrey Pines, with but little clothing on. According to police, an inveatiga- : tion disclosed that she had made arrangements with Dr. Jacobs, an ar- i , my surgeon to have an illegal opera- i . tion performed. Jacobs admitted he . intended operating on Miss Mann. I but claims thpt it' wqsr.only. "flu Am ; , foil altruism."' He felt.sorry for . her , because she was up against it. He I denies that he performed an operation and claimfl he is innocent. ! A mysterious trip to Da Jolla t with an unidentified man the night I before her body was found has completely puzzled police. Efforts to connect Jacobs with this trip failed. The proprietor at the hotel at Du Jolla when Miss Mann and the man it registered could uut identify J scobs. 1
