HIGHWAY SUPPORT: — The support of the movement fostered by the editors in behalf of the state highway commission is sufficient evidence that this is not a oneman effort. The editors have offered to co-operate. They believe that the commission should build roads and maintain them, and that political interference weakens the road program from one end of the state to the other. A. M. Smith, editor of the Crawfordsville Journal, said: -We believe that the commission should be permitted to work without being subjected to interference by selfish interests. The highway department should be run by the highway commission, and not by the contracts s. We editors believe in working for the public good. We must stand for the right and that is what we are doing~when we join in to help the highway commission's stand against the dangers that threaten-it." Observers realize that there is a well defined program being formulated by those who have been unable to control the highway commission. Backing this program are certain contractors and politicians. The latter are particularly active because they have been unable to dictate appointments and so turn the highway department into a political machine. They did what they could with the Ripper bill at the last session of the legislature, and met defeat* but tlrey are in no mood to quit. The plan now is to try again at the next session. Public opinion can defeat the plans again, so the editors have decided to foster and direct it. — Indianapolis News. We are not going to tell you who to vote for in the primary. That must be your own choice, but we do urge you to vote. Its a sign of progress when a large vote is cast. \\ e complain a lot about conditions of times, about the laws that are enacted ami about affairs generally but a lot of those who do the most complaining fail to do their part in selecting nominees and electing them. That’s where you have your voice and if you don’t take advantage of it. you should not be permitted to find fault with results. Pick your candidates, those whom you feel will best serve you and will add strength to your ticket and work and vote for them.'

Boys’ Week, which has become an annual event begins Saturday of this' week, May Day, and in this city the. movement will again be sponsored by the Rotary club. The entire community is urged to assist in making the week a happy and profitable one for the lads of the city, encourage them and teach them the importance of' living clean lives, preparing their minds and bodies for the future battles. It should be a very happy event for every one.

Over six hundred students of the, south side school at Fort Wayne went on strike today in protest against the action of the school board in remov-1 ing Lundy Welborn as coach of foot-' ball and track work. They claim they have been mistreated by the highhanded methods of Superintendent Ward and Byron Sommers, a member of the school board who took the action without cause and without consulting them. Well, any way, they will iind out who is boss. The Better Homes Exposition plans are going right along and you can plan for a big week with a program’

The Industrial Association is putting on the show with the hope of entertaining the people, securing cooperation and raising a fund for their treasury to be used solely for the purpose of ’yelping to make this a better community. If the coal field at Magley should materialize it would mean a wonderful thing for this entire section of , ihe state, providing fuel for industrial plants at a saving of the freight rates and would prove beneficial in numerous ways. One of the most important things to the manufacturer is cheap fuel and it is likewise a very convenient and acceptable thing for the average household during a long' winter like the past one has been. The candidates have but three days in which to finish the job and it is needless to say they will leave no grass grow under their feet. Plans ■ for securing the results are being made by this office and we will make every effort to take care of all who are interested in the results. The campaign has been a clean and a | lively one and unusually free from personalities which endanger success. April will soon be written in hisI tory and the month of May with her spring flowers will be here and then we have a right to really expect balmy weather. The Pennsylvania railroad did over two million dollars worth more business during March this year than In I the same month last year, indicating that, all Ute talk about business in that line being off is bunk and propa- 1 ganda. o -

IRist STORIES THE CHIL OREN WILL TELL

When come the children to my knee And ask me for a tale, I ponder well, what I tell Such beauty to regale; The boy would hear of buccaneers And pirates of the sea While she delights in fairy sprites And princes’ chivalry. ‘ Now telling tales to little folks Is difficult to do, One must beware and talk with care And keep his story true, And one must make them laugh with joy And dim their eyes with tears. For he will find the tender mind Impressed by what it hears.

vas for the funds needed, which will be made during the week of May 23 to May 30. The Lutheran hospital of Fort Wayne was founded on ! Day of 1904 and in rhe 22 years of its' existence, has grown to be one of the! largest hospitals in the state of Indi-' ana. The overcrowded conditions existing at the hospital at this time, 'have made the present effort for a substantial enlargement of its facilities imperative. Immanuel's Lutheran church of near Decatur. Rev. M, J. Frosch paster, will formally launch the campaign in their parish on Friday evening, April 30. when the Rev. Fred Wambsgnass, chairman of the Lutheran Hospital Appeal, will deliver an illustrated lecture in the German language, on the great need of an addition to the Lutheran hospital. At this occasion, Miss Anna Holtman, principal of the Lutheran Hospital Training School, will also make a short address and a quartette, composed of student nurses of the training school, will sing several appropriate selections in the German language. Mr. Richard Bleeke, keyman of the congregation, will direct the work in this parish. o Jjewis Says Miners Will Not Accept Wage Reduction Indianapolis, Ind., April 29—(United Press)—The International Organization of the United Mine Workers of America has no thought of accepting overtures toward a wage reduction, John L. Lewis, president, declared today. Lewis denied reports that field agents of the union were circulating among the workers attempting to stir up sentiment favorable to awagej\Cl/:fn the hope of giving employment to a larger number of men. The attitude of Lewisand International officers was outlined in a letter tk B. W. Elkins, uekspaper ediitop of West Frankfort. 111. operating intents >ane

Now children play their heroes bold And live the tales they learn, He goefc to sea, while patiently She waits for his return, So I must choose mp words with care And shape each narrative In such away they’ll never stray From virtue while they live. They say I tell them wondrous talcs. But little do they see Who drink them in. that they can spin More glorious tales for me; They little guess the hurt and joy They have the power to give To doting me. who waits to see What stories they shall live.

clamoring for reducing wages to the basis now paid in non-union fields, j but that is not the solution of the problem, Lewis said. | “The miners of the non-union fields are being degraded and pauperized and the United Mine Workers are opposing all attempts to modify existing union scales.’’ - Two Bandits Killed And Third Captured Cedar Rapids, lowa, April 29 — (United Press) —An end to the holdup wave which has resulted in 18 robberies in two months, was seen today following the killing of two bandits and capture of a third by police last night. The trio was trapped by police who had purposely parked a motor car on a lonely road where the bandit trio Tiad been working. As the bandit trio appeared and sounded the horn on their own motor car, Al Mikoto, a detective and Steve Stolba, a patrolman, stepped out of the parked machine. • Instead of obeying the holdup command the two officers opened fire. Floyd Ralston, 18 fell dead; Louis Burns, 21, was so badly injured that he died a few hours later in the hospital, while Thomas Gahan was captured. - —— , The Daily Demur rut-— \<n<r Home Taper

Riding Comfort Unequaled Because rd General’s low-pressure leadership in all sizes, both regulars and balloons, you really know the meaning of low-pressure comfort after you have taken yoi»r first ride on Generals. Car Economy The saving to the life of the motor and the car itself is due not only to General’s low-pressure protection of body and mechanical pans, but also the minimum rolling-resistance in the tires, which makes every ounce of the motor's power count for the most and gets it over the hills with the least effort. It adds months and even years to the life of the motor itself. Gasoline Saving unuaed miiuge. a deal Due to Mmc feature or less rolling-resist - ance - you Mve gasoline when you ride on - without losing moJey on Generals.
