Are you doing your part for CLEANUP week? it starts May 2nd but in the meantime you are asked to gather the rubbish from the yard and place it in barrels or boxes so it can be moved by the trucks. Good Friday—tomorrow—will be observed in this city with union services at the Zion Reformed church and the services at the St. Mary's Catholic church. Business houses will close during the afternoon for three hours that every one so desiring may attend the services. The occasion is important and the increased interest manifested is an encouraging sign. Senator Curtis Shake, of Vincennes, was the p, iu, rpal spcakei at a Jeffeison day banquet held at Indianapolis last evening and his red-hot speech last night caused a boom for him as a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor. He will have some considerable opposition but from what we have heard you might keep your eye on him as he represents in a very outstanding manner the younger element of the democratic party. Fort Wayne has decided to have daylight saving time, contrary to the desires of a large number of citizens there and elsewhere in this setcion of the state and contrary to the refer-, enduni vote recently taken there by a newspaper. Just why we don’t understand nor do they seem to. The council even failed to designate a proper date for starting the new plan, fixing it for Sunday, May 16th while that date falls on Monday. There is much 1 opposition and there will be continued 1 a confusion so long as the time is in ( force. , Some one connected with the administration at Fort Wayne seems 1 det rmineil to ram daylight saving I down the throats of the people. Whether its Mayor Geake or some one else who has more power we don't know but its evidently some one who believes in the old adage “the public be damned.’’ There has certainly been no demand for the change that would warrant it and Rs our guess that those who have forced it through will be sorry many times before the season closes. While its their business, it is also of importance to other localities in this section who of necessity must arrange their time to conform. The east and west state and federal road through this city was designated yesterday by the state commission as No. 16 from the Ohio state line to Huntington where it will connect with No. 24 which extends on to the Illinois state line. Paving preliminaries were begun at Logansport this week,| looking eastward and the road will ' probably be paved as far as Huntington with the idea of completing the ribbon across the state within three years. The commission will not <l< signafe the route- from here east until" they are ready to begin the work necessary in taking over a state road which I hey announced would be within a few weeks. The highway is assured and will prove a great-artery* during the years to come. A representative from the Washington offices of the weather bureau in a speech to the Rotary club at Indianapolis a day or two ago, predicted that this spring and summer would be

similar to one of a hundred years ago ' wht*n farmers had difficulty in putting in their crops, could not cultivate them and few succeeded in harvesting anything. Now we don't doubt that this fellow has a title of honor, but j we just want to tell him that we don't I believe in his system. We have watched these weather predictions for years and have found them very un.reliable. To us this seems like an 1 ideal spring. However it may be wise J to get the crops in as early as possl- ; ble and to count on a cold, wet season. 1 If it doesn't come you won't be hurt i uny and if it docs you may do better 1 than by waiting. There are almost as many fellows planning a (light across the Atlantic this summer as persons who will swim long distances for records. Every-! thing speed and distance these dayq, With automobiles making over two hundred miles an hour, it would seem that the airplane people ought to speed up the aircraft, but there must be a limit somewhere. But what is it? It has been but a few years since twenty-five miles an hour was considered a dangerous speed for an automobile on a public highway. Now the dangerous speed is sixty n\iles an hour. Who dares to predict what speed will be considered dangeruur ten years from this time? —Hartford City News. What could have been more inspiring than to watch 500 children marching calmly through the smoke-laden I halls of a schoolhouse? A small fire. | but plenty big enough to start a panic I among inadequately trained children. I broke out in public school S iu Elft:-j beth. N. J. The principal sounded the 1 fire drill and turned in a call for the fire department. Within the next few ! minutes the children were quietly ( passing out and the clanging engines , were rushing to the scene. Evidently the fire drills in that school are some- 1 thing more than perfunctory performances that must be endured in a place i where a fire has never occurred. No matter how fireproof we make our schqolbouses, there is always the greater danger of panic that is likely , to follow the startled cry of fire, i Once begun, there is no stopping such a rush. The incident in New Jersey serves to show anew that careful drilling can prevent such panics, even among the smallest children.
