You sixty-year-old boys who talk about being too old to stand hardships or to enjoy your self ought to feel ashamed. Theodore Quillen, 98, over at Logansport has taken out a hunting and fishing license and is all ready for the season. The federal officers declare they are going to make Houston and Kansas ( City as “dry as possible" (luring the conventions, which is a nice way of saying that they will be just about as tile whole country is, wet as the dickens if you know the ropes. Faulty lights were the cause of the Bremen airplane getting off the track on the trip overseas last week, according to the men in charge but it would take rather good lights to penetrate the fog and its likely that none are made which would have done it after so long a flight against L sleet and fog. Its less than three weeks until the i primaries and if the candidates are going to arouse any Interest they should get busy. If there was ever a time when every voter should go to the polls to express his digust at the manner in which things have been operated and his desire for a change in state and national affairs, its this year. Our old friend, Will Hays, who for '• several years had an easy seat on top ♦ of the waves, as a result of his activcities as state and national republican . chairman, is getting in badly and it may be wise for him to continue his vacation in Europe indefinitely, un- ' less lie wishes to be embarrassed by ’• some rather pointed questions by the investigating committee of the United States senate. The best tonic for spring fever andto restore good health is fresh food and fruit and plenty of out door exercise. The best way to get the exercise is to play golf and you have a splendid opportunity to do that by joining the Decatur Country Club - which opens for the season tomorrow, its a great game and you will enjoy it. feel better, live longer and be happier if you engage in it. Henry Ford is having a line time over in England where he is lieing « entertained by the royalty, but Henry , doesn't need to think its because ot his (twn attractiveness. They have _ an idea that lie has some money to 'spend and that a few factories over' •■there to furnish employment for the - millions who haven't jobs would help . out. Such men with such power and ‘possibilities are always welcome and i "England is no different than Indiana. • — — ~ « It would be interesting to know just 1 ~ who is paying the expenses of the Hoover and Watson campaigns. Some ■ one is surely for it costs a lot of real ■ money to operate, as they are. With • headquarters, men on the road, ex- - tensive newspaper advertisements and incidentals, it takes a bank roll. * - Seems as though we ought to know ~ just who is back of the candidates * now rather than in two or four years .and how? ——R———W— Senator Robinson, who became famous by his allegation that “birds of

a feather flock together," is still insisting that the oil scandals belong to the democrats. Its been eight years since any democrats held office In Washington and If they stole any oil ’ prior to that the republicans have r certainly been slow in digging up the facts. Why, senator, thats so long • ago that following Governor Jackson's precedent, its barred by the statute of limitations. > [ its the season for cleaning up. , which means your yard, your home. I your piace of business, your business J property. There are many things II that can be done to give the community an appearance of neatness Remember that the week of April ! 30th is the one set aside by the city council for the work of gathering the rubbish and at that time the city I force with their big trucks will visit every section of town to haul away the cans and rubbish which has been placed in barrels and boxes. — » Meredith Stewart came home last night and was given an enthusiastic reception by those who attended the wonderful concert given by he and •Mr. Verne Rothaar, pianist. That these young men have unusual talent is granted and we are sure you will hear much of them in the future if j you keep in touch with the musical world. Those who remembered Meredith as one of our newsboys or l a youngster in school here, could scarcely believe that he had become a violinist who could lufld his audience spell-bound, but thuts what he did. We were very proud of him and regret that more did not take advantage of the opportunity to hear him. e ****¥«<■.**¥«¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * WEDNESDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO features; WEAF— Hookup 9:30 pm.

April 18 - (INS| — With ten dogs dead today as the re,suit of the operations here of a dog I poisoner who is using frankfurters filled with potassium cyanide as bis bait. Valparaiso dog lovers were up in arms today and were enlisting the aid of authorities in running down the malicons executioner of their pets. That the poisoner had some knowledge of just what amount of poison to place in the slit frankfurters was i plain from the manner in which the dogs died. An overdose of the poison would have had a counteracting effect and recovery would have been possible. Irate dog owners whose animals were poisoned were examining rec- | ords at local drug stores today in an attempt to got a trace of the purchaser of the poison. Among those who have lost dogs by the poison route were Attorney Ira ' (’. Tilton, Clarence Beach, who lost three dogs, Charles Lybargcr, Glen Baker and Jesse Smith who lost two . j animals. Citizens were further aroused by ’ | the report that some of the poisoned 1 frankfurters were found in the yard of the Banta school where children ranging from five to eleven years In age enjoy their play hours before and I I after school.

If not we need one and need It badly! if the city does possess such an organization it needs to be awakened. The practice of shooting stray dogs simply because they have no home or no particular person to care for them is an outrage. Is there any city ordln anee which forbids a dog pond in Decatur? Clean up week is fine for the Community, but why not spend a little time in caring for the pels? Such as conditions existing in the cify is entirely uncalled for as long as there is any available place for l> g Pound. Decatur, with Its motto, "We Can and Will," has a large field in which to work. Cruelty to animals wil never make this town a better place in which to live.
