A happy ami joyful Easter and may you enjoy It to the utmost. Even if you can’t wear the new hat or coat to church tomorrow, it is not a sufficient excuse to keep you away from the Easter services. Bluffton and other cities served by the Bell Telephone company will have to pay Increased rates, effective this month and in those places affected, many are wishing they had a home-; owned company. Several residents of this city are planning to build houses this spring and others are figuring on it, which is a good indication for a busy season and a little progress along the line needed in Decatur. The weatherman promises a little sunshine and ‘fair but cool,” for Easter Sunday, so if you have your new Easter hat, suit or cloak, together with furs, it might be safe to plan to join the annual parade. Anyway the season for spring is here and sooner or later we'll be enjoying the 1 almy days. This new mash for the 3.75 beer which the government has authorized, for the sick sounds about like a poultice or a mix-up of bran and middlings. They say it can’t be used as a beverage and if you have to strain the concoction in order to swallow it, the fellow who used to carry a corkscrew will have to add tinware to his accessories. The Junior farm dubs have been organized in this county and soon the boys and girls will be out in the fields caring for the crops and aiming to have the best results in the club. (Tub work is one way of interesting the boy and girl in farming and as shown last year much good can be obtained through the study of better farming and competitive side of having the best field of corn, sugar beets and the like. ’ flood Friday was fittingly observed in this city yesterday. Business houses were closed and the time given over to meditation on the suffeting and death of Him who died on Mt. Calvary. The services were well attended and it is right that during these days of hurry and bustle for the dollar that the public pause and give thanks to Him for his blessings. As long as a community does not forget that there is a God and is thankful for the spiritual blessings it is not headed for- a fall. Tomorrow the joyful feast of Easter, the day on which the world observes the message of the Angel, . "He has risen,” and appropriate services will be held in the churches. Easter above all other days is vested with more religious meaning than any other holiday, because on this day Christ fulfilled His prophecies which were made during His thirty years on earth, that “He would rise again on the third day.” Those thankful for spiritual salvation will join with the congregations in the different churches and assist by their presence in appropriately observing Easter Sunday. During these days of murders, bootlegging. hijacking—l2,ooo were committed in 1926 —and apparent laxity for law. it is encouraging to note that the churches in the United States

The total church membership of all denominations, Protestant, Catholic and Jewish is given at more than 43,000,000. There is still room for improvement, but it is heartening to learn that a

gain in church affiliations is being made and that millions believe in and want to follow the teachings of Christ. Today is tile deadline for candidates to file with the county clerk their intentions of running for those offices to be nominated at the primary election, Tuesday, May 4th. Candidates for delegate to the state conventions of the two political parties have until 1 April 14th to file their declarations. The democrats will send eleven delegates and the republicans eight to the state conventions from this county. The field of candidates for the democratic nominations is large, every office having more than one candidate for the nomination and the results will be keenly watched by the public.

'DUNGAN SPEAKS l AT SULLIVAN. IND. llcierk Os Indiana Supreme Court Makes Plea For Aid In Halting Crime Sullivan. Ind., April 3. — (United Press)—The people of Sullivan county today were facet! with a plea for cooperation between all classes and groups in the battle to solve the crime situation in this elate ami nation. The plea was made in an address here by Zach Dungan, clerk of the Indiana Supreme and Appellate courts, before the Sullivan county bar assoctation. Dungan declared that he is not an alarmist but that "everybody knows the safely of the nation, the security of our institutions and the happiness of our people call for serious thinking on the part of all of us." ' Life must be protested against exploitation, oppression and extinction. Dungan said. ' That the safeguarding of the life I in the home, mill, mine and on the I highways is one of the principal problems of the day was another statement made by the speaker, who is in constant touch with the courts of the state and has an accurate check on the rapid growth of crime. "This safeguarding is the highest duty of society,” the clerk declared. “It cannot be evaded or rejected. “Unless this state is made a safe place for all of us to live in it will not be a safe place for any of us very long. "Deep down behind every militant movement cah be found the genn of revolution,” Dungan told his audience of lawyers. He pointed out that if force is alI ways resorted to in an effort to regulate society that such force someday will result in the destruction of its creator. He cited the Czarist system ii> Russia as an example. "Just now we need sound judgment, l common sense and the interest of all the people throughout the land and a call for the manifestation and exercise on the part of all elements for a spirit of cooperation understanding, good will and an obedience for Jaw and order,” the speaker declared. “After all, the law of the land is merely the organized, enforced moral sentiment of the people. As a result, you have to cope with the moral sen- ( timents of the community to succeed. "To change this sentiment you must educate the people to a higher stan-’ dard and a finer standard of life. “It is only through the exercise of virtues and high qualities that the great mass of mankind can lx* brought nearer to the enjoyment of life and safety. - I "We must remember that freedom was the foundation of our constitution and patriotism and cooperation its inspiration. Dungan said that it is necessary for the people of any country to remember that the nation can be no better than its average citizenship. The integrity and personal service tendered by the men and women elctd as public servants also is a reflection- of the sentiments of the people of the community, Dungan declared. The speaker said that the power to stop the wave of crime which is sweeping the country is at hand and can be had for the wanting. "The power to halt the wave of crime is here, it has been here all the time," the speaker said. "All it needs is awakening." Dungan concluded with a declaration that the lawyers of the nation are its salvation. "They are the salvation ahd in my mind the only agency capable by a unity of service and cooperation to check the great pefidulitm and bring back to the people the righteous mode of living taught by our forefathers and guaranteed by the constitution. “I know of no other means so po- ■ tent to stimulate the right mental i food. It will take gift and courage ; to do it but there aro no blue ribbons for the cowards." — —-o CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our apprecl- ) ation for the many acts and words of > sympathy extended to us by our . friends, relatives and neighbors during the illness and death of otir son f and brother; also, the choir for the , beautiful music and the Rev.
