California and Arizona are the drye t states in the union. No. not that way. we mean the rain fall is less in those states than in others. Three weeks from today will be a • busy one in Indiana. On that date, ’ May 4th, will occur the democratic and republican state and county prie maties. In the meantime there is] - much to be done by those good citi-1 - zens who feel that their parties should be represented in the best way. “ The predictions usual for this time of year that the ouilook for a big j. fruit crop are excellent have been sent out. Soon the trees will bud " and blossom and then will come the every year prediction that the fruit 7 has all been killed off. We have about the same things to contend with ■ each year if we just made notes of them. If you want to hear a democratic speech, filled with the fire of eloquence and logic, one that will leave •> no doubt in your mind as to the issues of the coming campaign, go to . Fort Wayne Thursday evening for the banquet and listen to Fred VanNuys. j one of the great orators of Indiana. _ Tickets are $1.50 each and worth it for the program will be a splendid, one. Every Adams county democrat I is invited, so don’t hesitate for that reason. , ‘ The return of Dr. Somerville Light ’ as pastor of the Decatur church for another year at least, was received ’here with genuine pleasure by the many who admire his ability, force and personality. During his first year as pastor of the local Methodist church he made a great record and with the continued cooperation of his • ’members ho will continue to be a ] force for great good in this community. Luther Burbank was a great man and He before whom he has now appeared for judgment used his wonderful talents many years before He called him home. Burbank produced more new plants, flowers and trees than any man of his age and brought pleasures to millions of people still to inhabit the earth. Why not forget the (hatter he gave out a few weeks ago as to his belief of a future about ■which he admitted he knew nothing? Senator Brookhart was unseated yi . tirday by* the United Stan , senate ami Daniel F. Steck, democrat, was put in his place, thus finding a buttle of nearly two years duration. Brookhart is a "bloc" republican and ' his support came from republicans and democrats who favor his position while the. opposition came from the regulars of both parties. Its a rather queer alignment and the future roarback may be interesting and important. Huntington has organized a Factory Fund Association, whose duties will be Io secure new business.industries for that city. They are attempting to ri’i.ie a $50,000 fund with which to do business. The first efforts will be directed towards bringing the business offices of the Farmer's National Life Insurance Company, of Chicago, there and to do that will launch a campaign to secure for them $500,000 worth of new business.

For years the treasurer there has made large sums of money. The legislature of 1921 fixed his salary at 47,500 plus fees for collecting delinquent taxes and other extras which they thought would hold him to about $45,000 per year. The present treasurer, however, is contending that he ] is entitled to the interest on the more ! than a million dollars on deposit, which adds $60,000 and will give him a total of $105,000. Democratic mfini bers of the Indianapolis council con tend his services are not worth it and 1 that it was never intended he should receive such an amount. The matter is in court. All hail the great American sport—baseball. The season opens today in the big leagues, the National and the American. For weejes the members of the various clubs have been training in the south and today they start the battle which will close next October with the world series. Its the greatest outlet for enthusiasm, furnishes amusement and a break from the every day routine for millions of fans, saying nothing of the other millions who get pleasure from | watching the score boards. In the National league this year the wise ones are picking Pittsburg or New 1 York to win, while in the American. I the guesses are divided among all the teams excepting Cleveland and the Boston Red Sox. And you never can tell just what will happen during the six months of playing, so just take your favorite from any old reason 1 and pull. o :• x x xxx xx xxx xxx x x:: M * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY > K k X From the Daily Democrat File $’ $5 Twenty Years Ago This Day F S 3 K xx:::: :: x x::x x x x x x s x s April 13, 1906—Mt.

LAUG HTER

I thank the Lord for laugliter and I thank the Lord for mirtn. For who can start a chuckle sweeps the sorrows from the earth. Though it may be but a minute, swiftly born and swiftly spent. The weight of care is iiften On the fiood of merriment; And for all those sixty seconds pain and anguish disappear. For there’s never any heartache in the laughter whitit you hear. There are times when man is solemn and is burdened down with care. And you know his heart is heavy, for iife isn’t’ always fair. There are countless disappointments for us all along the way,

C., by kindly stating, because of the fact that the gray matter of certain individuals has been so poorly developed, their limited mental power can only act and reach to spasmodic explosions of unreasonable utterances, and then they reach the end of their string which is seldom very long at the best, then they resort to personal abuse, as a reprisal for undeniable facts they can not refute, by resorting to statements that could only come from an abbreviated mind.

Many doubts for each to master, many plans that go astray; But when hale and hearty laughter rushes in and takes control, You would never guess, to see him, life had ever tried his soul? By the blessed gift of laughter pain is swiftly put to rout. From the mind of him that moment care and grief are driven out. Fate has lost the power to harm him. all his itatreds are forgot; lie’s a free man for th'e moment, though at times lie may be not. Here’s one distinctive privilege that’s given man at So I thank the Lord for laughter and 1 thank the Lord tor mirth.

“That I live in a civilized neighborhood anil many are far above me. 1 have respected these individuals by asking them for spiritual help. While on the other hand 1 have known people, if 1 wanted to get down to their level, I would have to go under a bridge and crawl in a snakehole. He further states. “I am in favor Os every civilized individual attending to their own business.” 1 wonder why the little dear didn’t attend to his own business and'leave me alone? Pretty nice, old boy, had better.try to practice what you preach. I know the shoe fits pretty tight but if you leave that stuff alone the swelling will go down. So please just let this souk ih. Sihce time began adolescense has enjoyed a period of blissful self adoration and superiority, but being tempered by wise restraint, naturally was able to adjust itse’.f in due time and proper manner. Today it meets with encouragement byway of toleration and approval. Why? Because if criticism were used it would take in or include to many pa's, ma's and grandma’s. Now you got a slap on the other car M.R.C. I want to kindly thank you for the compliment, "That I have brains but they are covered with cob-webs.” Nbw come on old pal and be honest with yourself. aren't you a little jcolous because you have Neither? In conclusion 1 want to state, if you weren’t a distant relative of the hell-hounds, you wouldn't be trying to prop up your family tree, and by the size of that tree, 1 will kindly ad. vise you not to scratch your head, tot fear you'll get your fingers full ol splinters. Please be a man and if you waul to’ refute my argument, deal wit) facts, for you only make yourself ap pear to my fritends and public as t third rater of the Z class. , Yours truly, Robert Bovine, Monroe, Ind
