AN ENTERTAINER: — Just now when Senator Watson is being mentioned as a possible candidate for the republican nomination for president, its interesting to learn how he is considered away from home and so this from the Baltimore Sun of May 15th gives one an idea: Let no tears be shed because of the overwhelming victory of Senator Watson in the Republican primary in Indiana. True, as a statesman Jim is small potatoes, few in a row—and also very watery. His mental horizon never has and never will reach beyond the ballot box, and his performance never will be above that of the lightning-change artists. The one interest in the whole wide world that ■eally engages him is that of regaining his seat in the senate, and of dreaming absurdly of the Presidency. Still, what would you—from ’lndiana, in these days of the Ku Klux Klan? Is it to be supposed that anybody else conceivable as the nominee would have been shore of the statesman than Jim? Is not the tone of that State in these days such that the man who can foster an anti-Klan investigation of the election to the Senate of Mayfield of Texas and then, after the klan sweeps Indiana, turn about and foster Mayfield—is not the tone of Indiana such in these days that this kind of man tips the pinnacle of Hoosier aspiration? What hope was there that a statesman would be nominated for Senator? Was not the real question whether we should lose a prime entertainer? For Jim is that. Where on this earth is there another man who at one and the same time so completely lacks all quality of the statesman and completely possesses all the extravagant make-up of one. If we may laugh ourselves weak while seeing one of the Four Marx Brothers play the burlesque Napoleon, why deny the supreme merit, in his way, of a Jim ' Watson playing the burlesque of Daniel Webster? Or why deny ourselves the pleasure, when there is no compensating gain in solid attainment in another man? Lets don’t wait a whole year to again tell mother v.e love her. That box of candy you gave her last Sunday is probably empty now and she probably didn't get much of it any way, the rumor being that she gave most of it to the children and the kiddies of the neighborhood. Isn’t that just like her, good old soul, always trying to make some one happy, unmindful of herself? When the chicken is passed for company, did you ever notice that mother usually gets the neck? Lets make every day this year mother's day and lets make this her happiest year because we sacrifice a little and not ask her to do it all. Beware ladies and gents, the Fort Wayne lawyers have caught the spirit of "more money and less hours” and announce that beginning with this date and hereafter, the preliminary fee for divorce cases will be fifty dollars. That doesn't include a trial for alimony or trimmings of any kind but just a plain case where you ask for it and get it. Captain William English who died last week left a will in which he bequeaths two million dollars to the city of Indianapolis where he spent his life and where his fortune was made.

The capitol of Indiana has been remembered thus by several of her 'wealthy citizens, a fine thing for the people there now/and those of the coming generations.

Wasn’t this a fine morning? It was just cool enough to make a fellow throw back his shoulders and again declare his intentions of licking th/ world, the sun was bright, the leaves are green and the trees in blossom, every thing looked good and most people we inet were smiling which is always a good sign. Congress is still “fiddling” with the farm legislation, designed to relieve the farmers of the nation and perhaps the most important legislation in recent years. A guaranteed price for products of the farm will provide a genuine boom to every rural district in the United States and will be of particular benefit to the people of the central west and lite west and norhwest. The bandits have started their spring campaign it seems from reports which come in daily of hold-ups. bank robberies, gasoline station bosses and others. The people should •e on the look out for suspicious characters and should assist in giving such visitors as these a reception which will land them in prison. Better Homes Exposition all next week on Liberty Way—a lot of fun. lectures, special acts, features, music and just a big week. If we make any money it goes into the treasury of the Industrial Association and will be expended for your benefit, so its a fine thing all around. The greatest strike in history, which for a week has tied up all traffic in England has been at least temporarily adjusted. The coal miners however are still out and the conditions there are not as pleasant as they might be or should be. o • — RKSHSXSKKSSSHSSSS X ■ .1 TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY X X X X From the Daily Democrat File ■ X Twenty Yean Ago Thia Day K M * sxsxssxsr.

Warning Issued Against Counterfeit S2O Bills Lafayette, Ind., May 12. —(United Press) —White ants are causing more damage in Indiana this year than ever before, according to Prof J. J. Davis, head of the entomology department at Purdue University. The damage is particularly heavy in the southern two-thirds of the state, Prof. Davis said. The ants eat into the floors and supporting timbers of buildings and frequently the wood is crumbling away before the’r presence is discovered. Control of the pest comes through firoper construction, according to Prof. Davfs. Foundations should be made of material other than wood if any timbers touch the soil they should be impregnated with creosote. In buildings already infested. Prof. Davis recommends removal of the damaged wood and the pburlng of . creosote or coal oil on the ground in i the vicinity.

ASKS FOR AID AMONG STUDENTS Requests That High School Pupils Be Given Credit In National Guard Indianapolbi, Ind., May 12 —(United Tress) —A request that high school students enrolled in the national guard units of Indiana be given the same scholastic credit as students who attend the annual citizehs’ military training camps, has been placed before the State Department of Public Instruction by William H. Kershner, adjutant general of Indiana. Tn hfs requeset. General Kershner, shows that high school students Os Indiana who attend the Citizens’ Mili-j tary Training CampS" at Fort min Harrison or Camp Knox, Ky., for. two successive snramei* are given a full scholastic credit to apply on their diploma. Student members of the Reserve ficers’ Training Corps in many of the larger schools are also given credit for their work inasmuch as it is directly under the supervision of the school authorities. Many highschool students. Kershner points out, are members of the national guard and their membership in that organization obliges them to engage in one military drill session each week and to spend fifteen days each summer at the national guard training camps. This work. Kershner believes, enables the high school boy to gain a more thorough knowledge of the essentials of military training than is possible in thirty days of concentrated work. Inasmuch as the high school youth who enrolls for three years (the minimum) in the national guard engages in forty-eight drill sessions each year and spends fifteen days each summer at a national guard training camp, put as much time on his military work as the boy who merely attends the C. M. T. C. two successive summers. Kershner believes the request is well groundsd The request asks that any boy who enlists in the national guard during his senior year of high school be given one-half credit to apply on his di-j ploma and that any student who enlists and serves duryg two years or more ol his high school career be given one full credit. The allowing of credit for national guard work will add to the attractiveness of that work. Kershner believes, and for that reason will prove beneficial to the state. "Indiana must have a national guard unit," Kershner state, “and everything must be done to make the work attractive to the eligible youth of the state.” Kershndf' illustrated the necessity for the national guard units by citing the Griffen tornado disaster, when that town was virtually destroyed. The national guard unit was on duty in jugt
