If Mr. Sinclair gave Mr. Fall $269,000 for one-third of his ranch and there are enough Sinclairs in the country to do so liberally by the rest of the farmers of the land, the reliet question can be solved to the complete satisfaction of every one. The Muncie Press admits that "birds of a feather flock together" and that it is important that a candidate has not been associated with political criminals, which is certainlv not a * great boost for our junior senator, Mr. Robinson. I Those who think that there is noth- , ing practical about an airplane should change their minds. A few days ago an automobile which was stuck in a . ditch was pulled out by a plane, the aviator using a tow rope to hook on to the car. Republican leaders in Washington declare that an agreement has been reached for a compromised flood relief bill which will meet approval of the president. We are anxious to know how they arranged to prevent the real estate hustlers of the Missis- • sippi lowlands from piling up easy fortunes at the expense of the govern- . ment. • i May Ist is Child Hpalth day over j this country and in almost every ( community will be observed by the * Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, the i Children's Aid and other groups. The idea is to promote child health and the event is observed differently in the various states. We all agree that those things which mean better health for the children are worthy. Health authorities of Indianapolis have been called into conference by Dr. King, secretary of the board of health to plan methods of preventing the spread of rabies which means I that whether we like it or not some- 1 thing must be done to protect the people from stray dogs. Human lives .are more important than are those of * the canines. The opposition of Mr. Hoover to the farm relief bill may gain him votes in the "way down east" states but we | doubt if its such good politics to play I it up here. However we give to those | capable men m charge of his Indiana campaign the full and complete right to manage it as they deem best. Watson may be bluffing but a lot of voters will probably like the bluff even if they think thuts all they will get. The . General Motors Company sold about 209,000 automobiles during March, a gain of 36,000 over the same month lasi year anti according to Alfred Sloan, president, another world record will be smashed in April when it Is expected they will sell more cars than they ever sold before in a single month. Thai might indicate prosperity and to an extent doe* but the strange part is that few other lines are showing a profit. This is Arbor day by proclamation of the governor and each 'school has been asked to have a program suitaide for the occasion. There are dno.omt school children in Indiana and if each were to plant a tree today and if gll those trees would grow to maturity, they would have a value

based on todays market of more than three million dollars. The depleted timber stocks in America indicate that we ought to carry out the purposes of Arbor , day and plant trees. • Harry Sinclair didn't testify lu his own behalf. Neither did his attorneys present the testimony of Albert B. Fall. His attorneys probably felt that there was doubt in the minds of the court and they wouldn't do any thing to disturb that doubt, but there is a question as to the wisdom for the matter ought to be clarified and the way to do it is to put all the cards on the table. The death of Mrs. Mary Congleton has brought sadness to many of the older citizens of this community who knew her well. She was a pioneer of this city, her father, the late John Crawford was a leading merchant and citizen, representing this district in the first legislature after the adoption of the constitution in 1353 and her husband. Winfield S. Congleton was a brilliant newspaper writer and editor. Mrs. Congleton was a woman of lovely personality and excellent character and one of those splendid ladies whom every one loved and admired for her good qualities. We are thoroughly convinced from what we have read of the journey across the Atlantic by the three aviators who manned the Bremen, that they would have been more comfortable had they made the trip on a liner. The first two-thirds seems not to have been so bad but that last lap was a continuous battle against high winds, sleet and fog which ran them around in circles and had them ready to end it all by the suicide route. Up to date there i$ nothing about it to attract others to catch the desire of flying back and forth to Europe. Charlie Bilger, bad man of the Egypt section of Illinois and who had several notches on his gun, went to death yesterday with a smile on his fate and cheery good-byes for eve"y one in sight. When he passed the coroner's basket which was soon to carry his remains to the morgue, he gave it a contemptous look and spat Into it. He didn't seem to care a fig about jumping off into space and there are not many who will grieve that he has done so. When a man reaches that point that he considers . the lives of others lightly he is a dangerous citizen whether he meets death bravely or otherwise. o—- ******»»¥**»♦ * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * y* ¥ *¥¥******* x FRIDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES

Jones, local lawyer outbid the ( city for possession of a three-acre island in the middle of the St. Joseph river, to be used as a goat farm, according to reports. The island, said to be the last particle of the countries unsold congressional school "lands, went to Jones on , a bid of $750. The city was desiricus ( of obtaining the land for a city park. ! but their predetermined bid was considerably less than Jones. County autorities intimate that Jones plans to start a goat farm iu competition with a fellow attorney, who raises goats as a side line to his | legal piactice of making theqi. The theory was advanced also that being in couit so often where the sheep a>-e separated from the goats would tend , to make an exceptional!' good goat held of any lawyer. - o No Danger Here Don't be afraid of the draft if yon open the windows of your miud. — American Magazine.

HOW UNITED PRESS HANDLES THE NEWS 11. v Important political news presents special difficulties to such u press association as the United Press which is pledged to full and Impartial presentation. This is because in most important poltical developments, the whole story does not appear on the surface. Scattered pieces must be gathered up and be put together. The biggest political story in the past year was President Coolidge’s "choose" statement. It consisted of one short sentence. Jwo hundred words more were adequate to describe the simple scene In the schoolhouse. I Yet that left the story far from complete. It was necesary to report 'the immediate effects of the announcement, what candidates were ready to step iijto the field, whether political leaders would insist upon Mr. Coolidge accepting renomination and if not what candidates they preferred. Political leaders had to be interviewed. * The political reporter must write much for which he can quote no ’ specific person. This is because most politicians, like generals, try* to con- , real their strategy as long as possible ' from the enemy. But if the political , reporter is on the job he finds out what the strategy is. Every political reporter in Washington knew weeks in advance that Secretary Hoover | would announce his < andidacy. Poli- i i ticians knew it and were making their | plans accordingly, all of which had , |to be reported long in advance of the formal announcement. This places a heavy responsibility i
