Kansas City, Mo. the ground hog was planning this April Fool joke all the time. That's why he fibbed to you on February 2nd. He said no more winter and it was just beginning. We have completely lost faith in him. Saturday of this week is the last day for filing as candidates for the primary election. While the list of candidates in this county this year is not as large as usual it is said over the state there are more candidates than ever known. The finance committee of. the Decatur Industrial Association needs several hundred dollars more before their report is made. Several who should have responded to this call for funds to help the community have found excuses but after all there is nothing more important than boosting and helping your home town. It'kjiot too late yet. We have another letter from "A Taxpayer" complaining about Jefferson street and urging that the holes be tilled with stone. If the writer will sign the criticism, we will print it. We believe the street committee is doing all they can and should be given a chance and we believe also with those complaining that the street should be kept in the best condition possible um til such time as it can be paved. Os course one way and the only way really to obtain the paved street is tor the property owners along the street to petition for it. Until that is done the council cannot build itCandidates as delegates to the •democratic and republican <onventions must run in the primary as do candidates for any other places. They however, have until April 16th in which to file while those seeking other offices Including those of precinct committeemen must file by Saturday us this week. One delegate for each *OO votes cast for secretary of state at the last election is allowed and with that rule in mind they divisions ha\<| been made. The democrats will have eleven delegates and the republicans, ■even, distributed over th county. Any person who wishes to a candidate may do so by"filing his petition signed by ten voters In the county, with the county clerk It is quite prolmblc that the presort primary campaign tor governor will be the last in Indiana. It is clear that both republhsns and democrats, many of them at tanat, are dlsgucstcd with the law. There ar* eight demo cratlc candidates and six republicans and of these, eight are making vigorous campaigns nt on ustim.-ni-d cost of »f.Oti per Wtw , k , <V |, ijoddes title tunny friends are "pending money and time and It's aomawhal of a joke any way lor there Is but little that a candidate on either «< k<d will «l».

phla. after listening in experimental ly, declares itself shocked by radio programs. Ministerial representatives have been horrified by "blatant out bursts of jazz,” and declare that much of the radio entertainment, is Tmmw . al and trifling.” "Trifling.” no doubt. But "immoral?” An ordinary radib pa r tron is likely to be curious about that charge and ask the ministers to sped fy. A scurrillous fan confesses that I he has "combed the air in vain, night s after night, for immorality, and wust ) ed his time.” The complainants think J radio ought to be censored and one ■ of the ministers suggests that relig I ious devotional program of half an • hour every day should be made com 1 pulsory for broadcasting stations. Posibly the public is the best censor, or radio as of films, plays and books, leaving to the ordinary police their natural authority to suppress anything flagrantly indecent, in case such broadcasting should be attempted .As for compulsory religion, that cure has never worked-well, even in the most advantageous circumstances; and the most obvious thing about radio is the ease with which any patron tan escape from any bit of broadcasting he doesn't like. —Goshen News-Times. o —— Music I Love This music is sweetest to me,Wind in the evergreen tree. And the voice of a dove Softly sighing of love. And the Aon? of sweet summer tea. The gentle patter of rain On roof on window pane. And a chorus of frogs From lily pond bogs. And the whip-poor-will's midnight refrain. a • And I love t<j be all alone In some nook to others unknown There, while my heart seeks Through nature He speaks His message in soft undertone. Then, strivings within my heart cease. From worry and care come release,When the winds gently blow. And the violets grow. And nature's one anthem is. Peace. —A. D.

IMAKIHG STUDY ; OF ELECTRICITY E. .1. Archbold, Os Decatur, To Be Graduated From ‘ Purdue This Year t Lafayette, Ind., April 1 E. JArchbold of Decatur, who will be graduated from the Electrical Engineering course this year at Purt due University is working with _» several other students on an interesting subject, "Corona losses bet tween wires at extra high voltages," for his thesis which is required for graduation at Purdue. Young Arch- • bold and the other students are do- . Ing some original research work on this topic for the Engineering Experl- , meat Station, under the directfpn of Prof. C. F. Harding, head of the school. Th»r results of their work will be published later in bulletin i form. Several yeijrs ago the most powerful .high tension line in the country wus constructed at Purdue for experimental purposes, because of the growing tendency to carry current long distances from yne large central power station. The loss of power because of the corona discharge which is shown by the illumination around the wires, has been one of the big problems and the Purdue work lias been to make thorough studies of this subject to find out how far apart the wires must bu placed to minimize his loss of current. The Purdue plant generates as much as 660.000 volts of etectriciy the work done by Archjpdd and his fellow students was up to the maximum. Heavy alumninum cables have been used as [lower conductors. these cables being on 40 f -et < ross arm* 65 feet above the ground. The work being done by the students gives /them new inforir/ition from tht-ir course and valuable training for work which they are to follow I after graduation. o —_ Coal Miners Quit Work Until Wage Is Determined < United Press Service) Kansas City.
