Now for another little shower, some warm weather and the farmers will show you how fast the corn can be planted. Two weeks from today and Decor-1 ation day will be here. The spring! ( season is slipping right along and it • won't be long until the vacation and fishing season is at hand. I The truth of the matter is no one;' is being hurt by not adopting daylight. savings time and before the plan is adopted an expression from a major-) ity o[ the people should be obtained.! 1 Governor Al Smith receives all the delegates from New Jersey, making; his total over 600 and he is still riding on the wave of popularity, which , seems will result in his nomination at Houston. i if you want the former residents of Decatur and Adams county invited to the Old Home Week celebration I next September, send in one of the coupons to French Quinn, secretary. Give the person's name and address and the invitation will be extended. The contract has been awarded for • the construction of State road No. 27, from the Adams county line north to Fort Wayne. The road will be hard surfaced and will be improved this summer, giving Decatur and Fort Wayne a paved road for the entire 22 miles. Straw hats are now in style and Arthur Brisbane remarks that ten million men will he more interested in picking out a new straw hat than . they will be in the November election. Anyway we all want a straw hat and the purchase of it is an important I matter, as any clothier will tell you. I - A survey is being -made in Bluffton witli the idea of establishing an airport and a school of aviation. We don't know what the plan is or who is back of it. but one thing is sure, live cities will pay some attention to air routes within the next ten years. I The airplane is fast becoming one of the means of transportation and a city with a good airport will be bene- ■ lited by it. 11. Earl Peters, is favored again by the Democrats to head the state organization, which meets Friday at Indianapolis to elect a state chairman. Mr. Peters made a wonderful showing as state chairman the past two years and by virtue of his acquaintance with tile office will prove a bigger leader during the campaign this year. Democrats in northern Indiana would like to sec him lead the party again. George B. Lockwood, former secretary of the Republican national committee, claims that he gave up a $15.000 a year job to accept one with the Hoover organization without pay. Now George must be figuring on something, for no man will work without pay unless he has some chance to get it back later on. We can't quite understand this sentiment behind lite Hoover movement and the boys must be playing a big game, which the public, will not learn about until after the convention.

Virgil Simmons, well-known attorney of Bluffton, was re-elected chair- . man of the Democrats of the Eighth ; district at Portland yesterday. Mr. Simmons is an able leader and will organize the district for tho November election. County chairmen who ali tended the meeting yesterday were enthusiastic and with every Democrat giving a little assistance and working 1 for a winning ticket in the fall the old Eighth can be changed to the 'Democratic column. Congressman Vestal seems to have opposition and many of his party want him retired and Don Ward, democratic candidate for the office is willing to carry on a real campaign this fall. The city council has practically decided to obtain an expression from the citizens of Decatur on the daylight isavlng proposition through tho 1 means of the ballot. It is proposed Ito hold an election, with one central : voting place for the entire city, probably located at the Library building, ithe citizens expressing their personal wishes in the matter before any) definite action is taken by the council. The council is of the opinion that it) should not act one way or the other ; until a majority expression has been obtained and if the election is held I and everyone goes to vote, some idea I as to the popularity of the daylight savings plan can be had. »¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥¥¥♦» * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO * ***;£¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥* Foeh wins ground near Amiens, regains west bank of Avre river and holds it in the face of heavy counter I attack.

People troubled with kidney and bladder disorders w ill-be glad to read a letter recently written by James Shemberger, 1302 South 31st St., South Bend, Ind. He says: “No one knows the pain I suffered the last two years with kidney trou- ) ble and bladder weakness. At times my back felt as if it would break, so sharp were the pains. Every night my kidneys disturbed my sleep. I had to get up several times. My ankles were swollen, my appetite was poor, nothing tasted good any more. I was badly constipated, extremely nervous, lost weight rapidly and was all run down. Life was pretty miserable. I just had to drag myself around to do my work. Other medicines I tried didn’t do me a bit of good, and I was almost hopeless when I began taking Viuna. Right away it helped me. The terrible backache stopped, the swelling in my ankles went down, and I could get a full night’s rest. My appetite picked up, and soon I was feeling much stronger and better in every way, able to do a full day’s work. I have no trouble now witli my back or kidneys. The constipation and nervousness have gone and I feel better today than for many years. Viuna is sure a wonderful medicine.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, I hiv.y liver and weak kidneys. It purities (he blood, clears the skin, restores api»etite ami digestion,and brings new strength [ and energjs, to tho whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you're not glad v.oi tried Viuna. your money will lie refunded. SI at druggists or mailed postpaid by ice'aiiu Medicine Co., Indianapolis, lud.
