Enough is enough and most of us have shoveled more coal now than we expected to. Its time for some real spring. This is planting week and every citizen is urged to plant something, a tree, garden, flower or shrub. It won't take much of your time and you will enjoy watching the result. Nature will do the work in this campaign if you help start it. Now the dope is leaking out that 1 Ed Jackson knows a lot about the klan and there are other rumors that efforts rather startling have been made by the republicans to use the organization for politics. Its funny how things do kick back some times.; ■ — The Fort Wayne News is saying > some real ugly things about Lyons,' the republican state chairman who has bummed his job but that don't necessarily mean anything. They ! said mean things about McCray and ' Harding and Beveridge and Watson! and others aud then supported them to the limit of their ability. Os course Lyons is in bad now with every faction and its safe to hammer him. , ATTENTION ; HOUSEKEEPERS Beginning Monday.

Bids ult th* iu-s school books adopted by the state board show an Increase of thirty percent which is supposed to meet the overhead of lubyiug tlie bill through the legisla ture. Another case of increased expenses for the tux payers which is not apparent in the levy but which you will have to meet just the same. The record of the last legislature should be enough to take the power away from certain leaders for a hundred yeurs or so. On an income of SIO,OOO a year, the income tax is >456 in our country, $l7B in Canada, $416 in France, >1.128 in Great Britain aud >7Ol in Germany. On incomes of >IOO,OOO a year, the tax in Britain is $43,450, \yhile the four other countries average about >30,000 aud none of them very far from the average. Britain is putting the screwsj on tighter than the rest of us. Naturally, she’ll reduce her national debt at a faster rate. —Indianapolis Times. It looks as though Henry Ford would like to be a candidate for pres ident if he can secure the support ot bis wife and either of the two great rarties. Os course he has something to do yet but he has in the past peril rmed some rather improbable ilungs and may get away with this, if he succeeds in controlling the coal industry and reducing prices of that commodity he will establish a reputation even greater thau in the past and he is evidently trying to do that very thing. < Do you know why we are writing alxMt “Twenty years ago” the first <’• < r and the last one, the "Do you ■•(■member when?” and so many people are enjoying it? The answer is easy, its because wc love this county. her history aud traditions, her i irly settlers, those who have helped Io make this the best spot on earth. Its valuably to those younger who thus ain many valuable bits of history ad information about the land of ucir birth or adoption and its interring to those to whom the para- ■ -.raphs bring back memories. The :' (immunity hhs entered into the spirit I ■ f the features aud we appreciate it. One of the best improvements for I Decatur attempted in several years I is that to macadamize Dayton avenue i i iie new street just opened from north Seventh street across the G. 11. ci 1. tracks aud between the G. E. •nd the Casting Company's plaut. This will open for residence buildiug purposes that entire tract lying north •nst of the city and will make valu hie for home building purposes hundreds of lots heretofore considered pf little value. The new improvement i should be completed during the next our months and it is probable that within a year a number of new homes will beautify that section of the city. _o A man with a large family often returns home overworked, only to | have the family keep it up. —- ■ —1 —

Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, who Is known to fame as one of the assistant United States attorney generals, evidently has considerable “pep.” Anyway, she forfeited $lO in traffic cqurt at Washington when she failed to appear to answer to a charge of violating speed regulations. She had been stopped by a motorcycle policeman and served with notice to appear in court, it said by the police, and when she failed to do so had been arrested on a warrant and required to put up tlie collateral which she forfeited. Mrs. Willebrandt came originally from a little town in Michigan—Buckley—where her father. David VV. Walker. was a banker. It was largely to fulfill a lifelong desire of her father that Mrs. Willebrandt took up the law at the Univershy of Southern California. in Ix>s Angeles. Mrs. Willebrandt first taught

school In Michigan, then in Arizona and in California. It was while she was principal of the high school at Pasadena that she decided to take up the law eom-ge, with two classes a day, one at S o’clock In the morning and the other at 5 o'clock in the evening. It was five years before she obtained her dlplyina and finally was admitted to the bar, for her attendance was intermittent. Mrs. Willebrandt has been active iu politics in California. She is a member of the Republican State Central committee.

Brig. Gen. Frank Thomas Hines Is the new director of the veterans' bureau. One of the first messages to reach him was this: “Tou've taken a devil of a job.’’ "I am not at all sure I can get away with thia thing,” the general said, “but I'm going to do my level best. There is no difference of opinion from President Harding down as to what ought to be done. There is a considerable difference of opinion as to bow it should be done. If hard work will get it done the right way, I will pull through.” To make the job even harder the first thing General Hines has got tn do Is all snarled up with politics. He lias got to help a congressional committee Investigate his bureau. ‘•This," he said, "is the big thing immediately in front of me. We will give full co-operation; and it is to be hoped that the Inquiry will be benefi-
