It is also more than probable that it will continue I to boil until November. The backers of Watson and' Hoover , in Indiana are confident and each can I prove his claims beyond contradiction —but that doesn't change the j fact that only one of them can win and the other must lose. A hundred or two of our mail sub-, scribers have failed to renew their subscriptions and we are hoping I those who have overlooked this will ; see that it is attended to before the j first of April. You want the paper | this year when there is so many , things you will be interested in. I Stocks have been shooting upward! this week and a lot of people have i made their fortune, but the tough j part of it is that just as many will: lose theirs when the crash comes i .which just as sure as any thing can j be. The safest way to gamble in l stocks is to invest in real estate. — Over Sunday, boys of the Decatur | Industrial Association, see if you. can't think of a plan whereby we can j secure an industry that 'will enliven , business and intake things better for ’ every one in the community. It can j be done if we can find the way and we can do that if enough of us hunt it. William V. Hodges, treasurer of the national committee of the G. O. P. predicts that they will have a bigger campaign fund than they had in the prvious campaign which probably means that Senator Walsh will be busy investigating another four years. It apparently takes more than the reprimands so far handed out to stop this practice. it develops that under Will Hays' administration as chairman of the national committee, the plan was to send a bunch of government bonds to some “safe” person tin a certain I territory who distributed them to , well known persons, who in turn j wiote checks as donations to the committee. Does the law permit this ! coveting up? Senator Borah is raising SI6O,t)UO by subscription to pay buck the national republican cßiinnittee debt to Harry Sim lai., which is alright as far as it goes, but doesn't go far enough to erase the fact that the committee has used in every campaign in recent years millions of dollars to win the election and then expect to clean things up by an admission of wrong and uu apology. It looks mighty thin. We have never talked or written or considered whether or not Old Home Weik would be a good investment for those who aid in financing it but we' are sure that aside from the pleasure It will "provide that it will prove valuable at' a trade producer, pot only during that week but before

| ami afterward. It it does nothing else it creates optimism and makes i folks forget their little petty troubles and mod of them are petty after all. I' " ~ >,! St. Patrick's day with all its weart ing of the green. Hibernian celebration and good times. Just what the day stands for depends upon where ami how you get the information, but J any wuy in the one big days of the j I year when those of Irish descent cele- ’ brate that fact in varied ways, when j happiness and good cheer prevail ;! and when due respect is paid to the • Saint of Ireland who has lived through 1 , some fifteen centuries in the memories and traditions of man. B. K. Settergren, piano manufactur-' er of Bluffton, has purchased the Estey piano plant of New York and 1 the Instrument will be manufactured in Bluffton, good news for that city which has been having some rather , hard bumps lately and deserves a boost of this kind. Mr. Settergren, i will according to the Bluffton newspapers, build additional buildings and add men to his factory. We congratulate our neighboring city and we hope this is but the first of a lot of j rays of prosperity sunshine. j The last lap of the race for first, place in basketball is on at Indian- ! I apolis and thousands of rooters are pulling for a favorite. It has been ( ■ a great season with interest even more intense than in former years it ; such a thing is possible. Indiana has i a lot of good high school basketball teams and the game is popular be-1 cause every hamlet and many country , ' schools can engage in it and with as much pleasure and credit as the i larger schools. Sports add to school , interest and help except when we ■ make them too great a part of school., Lets not do that but lets use good judgment and keep both sides of it running along smoothly. o *¥¥¥¥¥•><*¥¥¥¥*. * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * •.J¥¥¥¥¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ * ¥ ¥ S SATURDAY S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES !

DEC ATUR H. S. NOTES ....by... ROBERT HELLER The Key R. W. Loose, of the , Evangelical church, gave an interest- ' ing talk yesterday at the regular I Friday morning chapel program. He explained tlie parable of the man who , left each of his three servants a number of talents .and told them to keep them for him until he returned from a trip. Two of the servants multiplied their talents, but one bur- ‘ led his talents. Rev. Loose showed bow this applied to high school pupils. Then Mr. Worthman told of i-ome new pIHPs a few colleges are considering. An average of ninety-two per ' cent at high' school ifi the studies taken up will be required for entrance.
