It is claimed the b'g match for appropriations started off with about ten thousand people on h.u to boost one way or another. Have you sent in i subscription for the fund to provide radio sets for the five blind people of Decatur? It will require about three hundred dollars but It will prdvide the greatest possible pleasure to five people who deserve it. * Won’t you please renew your subscription this month if you are taking the paper by mail and its due. Our annual campaign to renew our list is now on. Help us make it a success for we can't do it without 1 you. Several Indiana cities report hiccough epidemics. They say the trouble lasts four days and then disappears and they tire telling the peopl- just how to handle the ailment but they neglect to tell us where they , get lite stuff that causes the hiccoughs.

plan for a bigger, better year for the paper. » We have heard of a dozen or more splendid letters acknowledging receipt of one of the pamphlets "Facts About Decatur, Indiana." and complimenting the Industrial Association for the public spiritedness in this work. We will be glad to publish any of them and will apprec'ate it if you will turn them in. There is no question that these efforts help.j Nothing succeeds like success, is an old adage and a true one and w‘hen yon begin Io "get there" th- world soon knows it for you tell some and they tell others. Il pays to advertise and the information contained in the booklet will be used and prove valuable by hundreds of people far and near. . The tight to repeal the primary law seems to be disappearing as rapidly as it came, due perhaps to the decision of Governor Jackson and his crowd. After all the most of the fight is among the politicians for the people as we see it. don't rare very many hangs whether we have a primary or not. They know there will be some way for them to declare their rights and they pay but little attention to the exact manner. In a country where less than half the people vote it is probably safe to ay that not more than a fourth and perhaps less understand the rules and mmy of those who do have no opinion or desire as to the whether state officials are nominated by primary or convention. o— Mid-winter morning, chilly and raw, Strong are the froat-king’s seals; Fogbank heavy, clinging and cold, Hiding the snow-covered fields.
