If you want to play a good joke on some of your friends April first, run over Io England and call them by telephone and reverse the charges. Mussolini says he is most thrilled by fencing, which is tine if he don t fool around and get “stuck" by somebody. Only twenty days in which to do your shopping for a 1027 automobile j license and there's positively no way to beat the game. Better avoid the rush. Twenty-six professional baseball players sitting in the court of Commissioner Landis at Chicago, told “Swede" Rlsberg he was a liar and yet he denies it. Some fellows are just naturally hard to convince. "Another earth tremor in southern California,” says a headline and thats some explanation why a lot of folks prefer Florida where the worst that can happen is to be blown on top of a six-story building. if that Colorado prison warden wants to do something new in this l age of surprises, he should take his , machine gun and his convicts and march up to the capltol. It would he much more thrilling than standing the authorities off at his own castle. With six or eight sales on in this j city just now there is no reason why you shouldn’t trade in Decatur. By the way the stores here furnish you all the time the very best goods to be found anywhere st the lowest prices and tile merchants aland back of what they sell. You are tile loser if you overlook those fads. It is said tile state tax board will try Io secure power by the enactment of a legislative bill to make horizontal increases or decreases on farm lands or city property valuations which should certainly not lie permitted for horizontal changes in the reports of assessors are always wrong, punishing the honest man along with the dishonest one. Governor Jackson in his message to the legislature indicated that he did not favor an investigation’ of the Stephenson matter which is another reason why there should be out'. As he has been doing since he assumed ! office, he is opposing the state committee and disregarding the state platform. Now we shall see how he gels along this year. Six Decatur churches will open special evangelistic services next Sun- . day ami its up to you Io find your ’ place and serve. Its your responsi ■ Idlity more than any one else’s. Some • -minister or some layman may hell ! you solve your problems along th< 1 religious line but after all you mus' ' be the one to pass the final examin J ation ami you must prepare for tha duty yourself. The slogan is “Th, ' individual's place 111 tlle life of 111 church,” a good one which should i II self inspire you to do your share t make your church services a success Efforts will be made to contest th election of Orrin 11. Markel, newl elected democratic- senator from Ell hart county, when he appears at. it state capltol Monday to take his sea on the grounds that he pledged hit self to be dry just before electio

j Seems like u rather flimsy charge for ten thousand othcrs.’republlcans and democrats, have campaigned along I ■ similar Hues without molestation. He 1 whs elected by a large majority and deserves his seat wheatever bls views may be. Attorney General Arthur Gllliom In lan address at Alexandria declared that the present policies of enforcing prohibition Is tyranny and thut the present laws cannot nor will not long endure. And then In reply Dr, E. 8. Shumaker declares that such a statement from one who should be the state's chief enforcement officer is “one of the saddest spectacles ever witnessed in the history of Indiana. It begins to look as though the republican party in this state will finally i divide on the wet and dry question I after using it both ways for-so many years and right successfully. Watch and wait. Governor Jackson in his message to the legislature favored retention of the primary and repeal of the absent . voter’s law. amendment of the budget law to Include counties, cities and townships, abolition of the state pardon board and aid for farmers by reduction of farm valuations. He lias quite a program outlined, much of which he probably has no intention of [forcing through even if he has the power, which is doubtful, and some of J which he won't be able to put over. Chances are that about next week a fine row will break forth which will largely prevent enactment of laws and keep everybody busy about the state house. Influenza is raging in England again and its a hundred to one that it will < fly across the Atlantic and that this country is in for a seige as severe as 1 that of 191 S when this dreadful dis- , ease caused 11S.000 deaths, accord ing to in. Pierce, assistant surgeon ’ of the United States public health i service. He advises that you stay in , the open air and sunshine as much as possible, breath through your nose, [ keep the windows open, wear loose < clothing, use plenty of covers to keep von warm you sleep, avoid i those who are coughing, wash your hands before eating, keep up your general health and drink plenty of i water. — o — ♦ BIG FEATURES ♦ * OF RADIO * ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦!
