The Better Homes exposition in Decatur may be delayed a little but it will be held just as soon as arrangements can be completed. In the meantime don’t lose interest for it should be a great big, interesting event and will be it we all help put it on. Another howling wind and snow storm is coming eastward out of the* Rocky mountains, we are informed through the weather bureau, certainly not a very friendly Easter greeting, but cheer up—it can’t last much longer and the May flowers will be the more beautiful. Os course we are wrong about it, but we had the idea that the Eighteenth amendment gave congress the right to say what intoxicating liquor is instead of Mr. Andrews. How comes he can say what is intoxicating, what is a beverage, when and where may we indulge? There are twenty cases of rabbies I in the state laboratory at Indianapolis | and the health officials will ask that a sixty-day quarantine’ be placed on dogs, requiring these animals to be muzzled during that time. County sheriffs will have the tough job as they will be ordered to invoke the law. Wiry' waste time trying to get Jack Dempsey to fight? If there are any prize fighters who think they can lick him, whats to prevent them getting up a few matches of their own and going right ahead as though Jack wasn’t in it? We might have a fighting champion and a non-combatant claimer of the title. Stocks on Wall street seem to have hit bottom and for the past day or two have been coming back slowly. Its the old, old game. A lot of people were smashed in the downw-ard slide and then when the stocks hit bottom, the masters quietly and deliberately began buying them in. Naturally prices again start upward and the game is on again. Those who are foolish enough to gamble in such things must learn to take his losses as a good sport, with a smie. The tradesmen in Indianapolis are on a strike, demanding considerable increase in pay. They have the right to strike. Whether they or the contractors win out. depends on the real demand for building there. The outlook for building generally over the country is not so good as for the past several years and it would seem wiser it every one concerned worked In harmony to continue the "own your home’’ campaigns. You may iaugh about the orders to "keep off the grass" and ignore them if you want to take a chance on being prosecuted, you may walk across lawns and perhaps get away with it, you may let the chickens run and the dogs dig up your neighbors flowers, but why do so? You wouldn’t want any one else to treat you that way, you wouldn’t like it if you had worked-. many hours to improve the ftppearauce of your property only to have it ruined by some one’s carelessness, would you? The season of the year will soon be here when a little care will help the other fellow a lot. Think it over and lets all be decent about it. t Senator Watson will devote three

j weeks to campaigning on his own be- [* half in the primary, opening at Kokomo on the 11th. He will explain in his own smooth way just . wnat he meant by saying the farmers ■ of Indiana would be satisfied with a 1 bag of peanuts. By that time Mr. Adams will probably have a lot of for him to answer if he cares to but Its quite likely that the j distinguished gentleman will stand on his rights and reply by a discussion of the World Court, the income tax and a few other matters which have had attention. Jim's a hard one to corner in a primary. Congressman McLeod, of Michigan, Is trying to get a congressional reapportionment based on the 1920 census. If he succeeds that means still more members in the house

which is now so unwieldy that they have difficulty in even agreeing on a motion to adjourn. The body is now composed of 435 members and the boosters for the reapportionment want a couple of dozen added. The last time a change was made fortyfour were added and each one has cost the country a lot of money since. When congress was originally or- ■ ganized there were but sixty-five congressmen. The number has grown steadily as the population grew and the territory increased. We doubt the judgment of adding more, in fact we are rather inclined to the arguments offered by those who would reduce it. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * Big Features Os * • RADIO * ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Saturday’s Ten Best Radio Features (Copyright 1926 by United Press) Central Standard Time Throughout WBZ, New York. 454 M, WRC, Washington, 469 M.

A large audience was on hand when the Union services opened and as the first part of the program got underway many more came to take part in the meeting. Only a few persons left before it was entirely completed. Schools were closed this afternoon and many of the younger people of the town joined with their parents in observance of the day. At St. Mary's Church Ceremonies, marked with impressive religious meaning, were held in St. Mary’s Catholic church today in observance of Good Friday. At 7:30 o’clock this morning, the mass of the presanctified was celebrated, this being the only day in the year on [which the priest does consecrate a I sacred Host for the sacrifice of the mass. The appearance of the church on this day emphasizes mourning. The altar Is stripped of its ornaments on Maundy Thursday and nothing remains except the crucifix veiled and the six candlesticks. On Good Friday the church susi pends the offering of the holy sacrl- . fice of the mass to commemorate in . this way the sacrifice that was offered on Calvary. During the mass on Holy Thursday the priest iconse- ! crates two hosts. Ono of these he ■ receives in libly communion, the - other he reverently places in a chal- . ice and reserves to be consumed on 3 Good Friday. Everything is given over to mourning and medltaiHoh^p£^sS..J£. f - ■ 1 1111 11- -■ ■JJ-- "Jgggg* COLDS of header chest Sremore t treated externally with— VICKS ▼ Vapoßub - —- Qtmr IT Million Jara Uood Yonrfp.

Graham proposed that five republi- | cans and two democrats be charged with the prosecution of English, but I Garrett interposed an objection on the ground that the party division should be four and three. Whatever agreement Is reached will b eput in resolution form and submitted to the house Tuesday. Just when English will be hailed before the bar of the senate to stand trial is problematical. A definite decision on a date for the trial .is expected after house prosecutors have conferred with the jurist. Some senators are disposed to put pending business on the legislative, shelf and proceed with the case at. once, while Majority Leader Curtis, | Kansas, feels it should be postponed until the end of the session. ■ - -o ' Mr. and Mrs. George Schmitt, of Fort Wayne, will be guests of Mr. and Mrs. G.
