Its a burning shame that after . waiting so long for a hard surface road frofn this city north we must plow through sticky tar which almost ruins p car and which costs the owner ‘front twelve to twenty dollars for cleaning. It may be a good road some time but its hardly fit to use now. About two hundred and ( fifty thousand votes were cast in Tuesdays primary for the democratic candidates, a rather healthy vote and convincing proof that the old Jeffersonians are coining to life in a happy and effective 'manner. Look out for ’em next November. The democratic senatorial contest : will go to the convention and it promises to be a lively scrap. Delegates should remember that in selecting a leader for this high honor, age, ability, ideas and character should all b e considered. The right candidate can win and he can be chosen from the list of those who made the primary campaign. Well, the third or fourth wonderful spring day right in a row and every body is so full of pep that something must be done to let them explode it. The first big chance will be at the Better Homes Exposition. Then Vomes the Fourth of July, the<county fair, the Chautauqua and several other opportunities. And besides we have the building program, the golf club, business, pleasure and duties. ’At-a-boy. The boys have had a big week which we believe has helped them • •hud their dads as well. This morning more than three hundred breakfasted

at Bellmont Park as guests ot the Rotary club. They had a good romp, ate heartily and enjoyed it and it is needles to say that the older boys who pulled out of bed at six o clock to help them do it, also had a broad smile on their faces when they arrived back at their desks. Its a mighty fine sentiment. The organization of political committees is now effected in th e counties. Next Tuesday the democratic district will name chairmen and within a week the state organizations will be ready to move. Much success depends on this necessary routine but not all of it. The real work after all is done by the precinct workers on whom every chairman and official must rely. The campaign this year will b e a lively one in Indiana so roll up your sleeves and get ready to help put it over. Farm wages were higher in 1925 than in any year since 1920, and were three times as high as at the close of the Civil War.—Adams County Witness, v True perhaps for the ‘ hired man” but how about the farmer who paid him? lie is the fellow who has been carrying the burden on his back for the past five years and he is the one worker who needs relief more than any one we know of.

One week from today the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel will start moving to their new home, one of ’he handsomest newspaper buildings hi the country, and by the following * Monday will be ready to print their first paper from the new plant. New equipment includes a double sextuple press, fifteen type casting machines,

I Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, an occasion which touches the heart of every person, young or old, for no difference what we may think of other things or how much divided we may be in our opinions, every man and woman carries in his heart, deep down where only the finest thoughts are found, a love and respect for she who reached almost into Heaven that you might come to life, who fought for you tyways and who will continue to do so as long as she has breath. Mother is the sweetest word to all and we need but remind you that tomorrow we pay her our respects. If you can t see her and tell her you love her. you can send her a message by wire or by post, but see her if you can,, put your arm around her and give her a good old squeeze. She's the one friend who will never go back on you, she's the one you can tie to and who with her last breath will hies you, no difference what has happened. We are going through another period of adjustment in this country, one pet haps unexpected but not strange. The only way we can get back to a level is step by step. General conditions are very good if you stop to go over them. The cool spring has delayed farming but nature is now responding to warm weather, labor is •.ell employed, there is-expansion in public utilities, good roads are being constructed and new homes built. Me should remember that living standards in America are the highest ever known ip any country or in any age. Aeroplanes are rushing mail from boast to coast, there are 16,000,000 telephones in use and five million

radio receiving sets. We can't get back to normal in a <Jay or two and we haven’t, but if we all help a little, rs the farmer is given some actual relief so that his earning are equalized, we will soon have the best and steadiest good times ever kqown.

ACQUISITION OF LAND HOLDS UP WORK ON PARK Dunes Project Receives A Set-Back, While Land Is Being Bought LARGEST IN STATE Big Tract W ill Be Used As Playground For People Os Middlewest Indianapolis, May 8— (Unitert I’resal t —Tlio problem of acquiring nccesaary land ja retarding work on the Dunes state park tract. Richard Leiber. director of the state department of conservation told the United Press today. Plans for the park, which will be the largest in Indiana, call for the acquisition of approximately 3,000 acres of land in West Chester town ] ship. Porter county. As yet the department has been able to gain title to a little less thifn 1,000 acres. Os the remaining tract of over 1.000 acres, the largest part is contained in one estate and the commission expects to acquire this tract, containing approximately J*oo acres soon. Working night and day, the department has been able to make but slow progress because the land has been cut up’into small lots owned by many individuals and each purchase requires the drawing of separate abstracts and deeds which is necessarily tedious work. Most of the land not yet acquired is contained in the one large tract however and, after this piece is acquired the department will be able to start plans for the development of the park. The department is rushing the work of buying up land as possible. Lieber said. All lapd which has already been acquired is being patroled and the public has already started to make use as the park. Wardens are constantly on the job to prevent the haphazard building of fires and to see that the privileges accorded the public are not abused. Dunes park, according to Leiber will not only benefit Hoosier residents but will also be a big attraction for Chicagoans and other citizens of eastern Illinois. With its vast acreage of windswept, ever shifting sands and uncultivated wildernesses, extending for three miles along restless Lake Michigan, Dunes park is destined to become nationally famous as a spot of rugged beauty, Leiber believes. No attempt will be made by the department of conservation to “improve upon nature." Leiber stated, but he ( believes with proper care and a rigid
