Fort Wayne is having trouble with their drinking water again, a very unusual thing for that city at this season. Candidates are neither as good or as bad as their friends and opponents would have you think just at this period of the campaign. Sever storms in the west and southwest, with some loss of life and considerable property damage but so far not as severe as in many previous years. Lets hope we get by without the usual spring tornadoes and heavy floods. We are promised a forty degree drop in the temperature by tomorrow morning, it may not arrive but if you are planning on very light dress for Easter day it may be well to take into consideration the guesses of the weather man. If half what the Hoover folks are saying of Senator Jim Watson are true, we wonder how it comes that so many people have been “durn fools” -enough to have voted for him during the pa,st dozen electiohs. Guess they are just finding it out. Don't stay out of the Old Home Week organization. We are going to give it and we want to give it so every one will know this is a rejrl community. We need you and you need this enterprising affair. IJe a real part of a movement to liven up things. The first aircraft show in this country will be held at Detroit the week of April 14th and twenty models have been entered. Manufacturers are planning to give visitors such a show jts will cause them to enthuse over Jlite safety, speed and reliability of •planes amt expect to take many orders during the week. Looks like it «<s coming. • 1 :— The Watson boosters declare that Hoover cannot assume the office Os president because he cannot qualify. The consist itut ion provides that to be •eligible for the presidency one must have lived continuously in this country for fourteen years prior to the 'election. Mr. Hoover has not spent “touch time in this country excepting 'since the World war. So there's that to think about. A negro caught choking a sixteen-year-old white girl whom he was try>t.ing to assault was shot to death by a policeman who ought to be promoted and given a medal. He rid the earth of a dangerous degenerate and saved his county the cost of trial' and •the state the cost of keeping him in prison. Its time to quit being lenient *with such criminals. Solemn and impressive were the services held in this city yesterday commemorating the Passion and the death of Jesus on the Cross. Hundreds of people attended Three Hours at St. Mary's Catholic church and the union services at the Methodist church. Tomorrow is Easter, of all days of the year perhaps the most sacred. Needless to say the event will be properly observed here and in churches all over Adams county.

This Is a splendid Christian community. Judge W'etter of the Indianapolis municipal court uses a yard stick tor ’• measuring crimes evidently. When t Henry Raymond appeared before hint charged with slashing Dick Ware with ills "razzej-," the judge asked how many stitches were necessary to close , the wound. Told that it required ) fourteen, the judge declared, “five J dollars and live days for each stitch" j and gave him seventy days in the 5 penal farm and a fine of S7O. > Regardless of political opinions, millions of citizens throughout this land who recognize the unusual ability of the late Chauncey M. Depew, today sincerely regret his death. His was a great and successful career 1 and besides the work he had done as a business man and statesman, he leaves a greater monument, the history of a well lived life which extended far beyoifd the three score and ten allotted to the average. This is the last day for filing as a candidate in the county primaries, so if you are ambitious to enter one of the races you will have to hurry unless you have already hurled your hat into the ring by placing your name on file with County Clerk John E. Nelson. The democrats in Adams county have a number of interesting contests and from now until the eighth day of May candidates will solicit your support. Give them your attention and decide for yourself as to which wijl serve you best. The Capper lull providing for a universal service and draft ’taw now before the senate, would it is argued, do more to prevent future wars than any thing else that can be done. The bill provides that a declaration of war would immediately draft every man between the ages of twenty-one and thirty and would give the president the power to control material resources, industrial organizations and to stablize prices on all commodities. Those who favor the law claim that it would be impossible to create any great enthusiasm for war if these things were assured in advance. it would be interesting to know just how tile republican papers of Indiana which are just now talking so terribly about Senator Watson would get out of it all if lie should happen to be nominated and its not impossible. Don't you remember the campaign of 1920 when Senator Harding. of Ohio, put it over in just about such a manner as Senator Jim is trying? Os course that attempt didn't turn out so good, but if you study political history you will find that the senatorial combine is a serious one to fool with, so far as national conventions are concerned. But of course its alright with us, go right ahead. o BERNE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Silas Spruuger and lamtly, of Fort Wayne, are spending the week-end with relatives in Berne.
