Much attention is being given Just now to a bill for trf? "protection of migratory birds." We presume the star in this comic strip is Senator Robinson who will feature his soug, "Hirds of a feather." Indiana should east a vote in the coming primaries which will tell the world that our citizens are interested and that they intend to rectify those wrongs which have been done during the pfflt few years. The cold weather hangs on am? several farmers tell us this is the first time they have ever plowed witlT overcoats on, but don't be discouraged. its almost time for May flowers and we scarcely ever have dependable weather sooner. e __________» A corset worn by Mrs. W. H. Ham.lton of near Columbia City, saved her j life when she was attacked by a cow. Her physician says that undoubtedly the corset prevented the cow’s horns from penetrating the holy's abdomen. Now girls what do you say? The only trouble with this statistical prosperity is that it won't pay rent, buy groceries or meet taxes of the folks who are not in on it. We rather welcome a campaign on "Let well enough alone." Eight years ought to be long enough to demonstrate any theory. Though Hoover and won out in Ohio primaries they don't get the votes on the first ballot, the law over there providing thrfT the primary is only that the delegates may know the preference of the voters, but do n»> have to drey. eFine stuff. The primary is nice in theory but a joke in practise Isrg.-ly ’“-cause the people do not pay enough attention to voting. " . .■ Hoover now lias 240 delegates and his backers are singing "Its all over now." However it is quite likely that any one w ho can deliver the other 305 voles necessary to nominate him would be given a warm welcome. Mr. Hoover may be nominated but we arc very doubtful for the forces against him are not only strong but managed by pomicians who have often squeezed through tighter holes than tills one. In the primary election hold in Ohio Tuesday, the lightest vote ever cast was recorded. In the city of Van Wert, 9,000 population, less than live hundred votes were cast and a similar record was made in Celina ami olln-r cities. In Willshire, it is reported but twenty-six voters went to the poll-. Surely if thats all the interest Hie people take, the primary is a failure and we almost doubt tho theory of our government. We coinplain about conditions and yet we do nothing to better them. Two outstanding figures in American speed contests died yesterday. Floyd Bennet', aviator of international fame and conqueror of the north pole died of pneumonia in Quebec and Frank Lockhari, premier automobile racing driver of America was killed at Daytona Beach, Florida, when his Blackhawk turned turtle while he was running at a speed of

bettor than two hundred miles per hour. Both men hud performed tho seemingly impossible in their work uud both were looked upon as great heroes as they were. « Tax paying time is at hand again iu Indiana and notwithstanding' the fact that in dollars and cents you are paying more than ever before, republican candidates Tor governor are declaring that the rate is lower now than it was under Governor Ralston. Thats true but they talk fast when they say it and do not finish the story. The valuations are so much higher that they are raising twice as much money as before and after all what you arc Interested in is not what the rate of the valuation is but what you have to pay. It is natural for a boy to want to shoot a toy pistol and the closer it resembles a real revolver the more fun he gets out of his playing at wild west, so it is not surprising that the youngsters have been getting quite a "kick" with the new pistoiswhich shoots a 22-calibre cartridge and piakes a noise like a regular | “gat." We are for the boys but w<- 1 do not believe they should »Jay witli toys as dangerous as these. Last evening a ten-year-old lad in this city had the palm of his hand shattered by one of the caps and the chief of police has issued orders against the sale of these*-pistols. The parants are asked to see that the toy revd-j vers are not used for a boys hand is I worth more than any value that can be placed upon it.

Jeffries, greatest of heavyweight champions of all time, visit both camps and provide the sports pages of United Press papers with their views as to the strength of the contestants and the probable outcome of the fight.
