Keep the dollar working and the people employed by doing your spring shopping now. Another addition to the role of honor in Indiana is Russell V. Duncan, a member of the state legislature from Marion county who was found guilty yesterday of forgery. He was sentenced to two years iu the federal prison. Farmers have been putting in hard licks this week and the corn planting is about completed. The season has been good and unlike former springs, the weather this year enabled the farmer to do his work and planting when he was supposed to. May prosperity attain his efforts next fall. The Alemocratic editors are meeting at New Harmony this week and the outing will prove a most enjoyable one. Os course politics will be sandwiched in with business and social activities and a ln>at ride down the Wabash will be one of the delightful features. •■■■■■■■■•■■■■■■■•l Sentiment from all parts of the state favors the nomination of Frank C. Dailey as the Democratic candidate for governor. Mr. Dailey is held in high esteem, not only by Democrats, but by those who want Indiana to ' clean up and know that Dailey can do it. The weather man is a funny fellow and is very changeable. Yesterday Fort Wayne was visited by a heavy downpour of rain, resembling a cloudburst and much damage was done, while here in Decatur we were watting for a good rain. Albert .1. Wedekiug, of Dale, Republican. has been elected chairman of the state highway commission. The board reorganized yesterday and we I hope that their new program will include the improvement of the east and west road this' summer or fall. Why not write to the members of the commission and ask them to feet busy. Frederick Schortemeier seems to have the largest bulk of delegates to tlie Republican state convention and those not favoring him for the Republican nomination for governor are busy these days trying to get behind someone else. If the Watson organization is for Schortemeier the boys will have a hard time trying to beat him. Those dty agents must have thought they were up iu the Maine woods looking for big game when they shot the secretary of the Elks lodge of Bostofi, because he diu not etop when they commanded him. The victim thought the prohibition agents were hold up men and when he started to get away he was leveled with a bullet iu his head. Vacation days are just ahead and boys who love to play and should play to their heart's content will be looking for a popular playgrounds. They should be careful where they go. The . other day a group of small boys went to play' around a huge sandpile and before they knew it they were burrow- ' ing into the sand. The sand caved in and one of the boys I* believed to have been buried under tons of it.

The leader of the gang can be a hero by warning others not to play around dangerous places and in the long run all will be happier. . Hili Rogers comments on the list- ■ fight between mi ex-governor and another state leader in South Carolina, , because one called the other a republican and suggests that if the accused was killed that it would be I hard to convict him in any court 1 where justice was delt out. Hill has I • a humor all his own und never uses I the-soft pedal. 1 A reporter interviewed ten persons I over 100 years old from them, what he ascribed their secrets of reaching the one hundred mark. Here they are if you want to follow them: "Be happy; work hard; don’t worry; eat home cooking; develop simple tastes; get plenty of exercise; have an easy conscience, have an interest in life; be moderate in all things; get plenty of sleep each night." The reporter commented that the centenarians were enjoying remarkable health and most of them were surprisingly active, so it must pay to follow a few ot the suggestions. Persons walking on the street in Fort Wayne yesterday were given a thrill when one ot the police sergeants whipped out a gun and shot at a fellow directly in front of him. Everyone expected to see him keel over and they gasped for breath the second time when the policeman tired another bullet at him and his victim still kept on going. He was wearing a bulletproof vest, demonstrating the merits of the armor plate and kept right on smiling. He has a job which would give' mpst anyone a thrill and one we do uot envy, because the head is not protected and in the excitement some fellow might shoot high. ig**¥**<r***¥»* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * s***********x FRIDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WOR —Hobkup 8:30 pm.

SUPREMACY OF AMERICAN FILMS IS THREATENED Washington. (U.K) A steady widen Ing barrier ot adverse legislation in foreign couai tries is threatening the supremacy of American made motion picture films |n world markets. Compared with the numerous laws limiting showings of American Hints, competition 'offered by foreign film pioducers is comparatively insignificant. So serious is the situation considered by tlie producers that Will Hays, as their representative. Is now in Paris conferring with French officials in an effort to obtain some modification of the restructious in that coiin try. A survey by Nathan D. Golden, of tlie commerce department's motion picture section, shows that every major European country has passed legislation to lestrict showing of I American films within its borders i Even in the Far East, where films , from the United States number 90 per | cent of the total screen showings. | there is considerable agitation against American films. The real' opposition to American films, Golden said, comes not from the exhibitors, but from European

film producers mid other large business interests who fear th.' "Americaniziug" etxt thai u counctant viewing of American arenes may have on the population. Patriotic societies have also played a leading 1010 in agitating for reslricilons of filins from this country. Films Good Advertising "Amvricau films help to sell other lines of goods from gowns to .intomobiles which form ar part rff the setting of nearly every 'movie' scene atnj ate seen ami admired by the millions \\lio see tliem on tlie screen," Golden explained. He added: "The slogan ‘trade follows thv filin’ has attained avery practical signittcance in the eyes of our eonny titors. Foreign governments have felt that an instrument of such potentialities as the films must lw> represeut-ed T>y a lo<al industry strong enough to compete with the foreign product. "Legislation lias already been sufficiently drastic and widespread to constitute a barrier to tlie continued development of American foreign trade in films, and as such Is worthy of the most serious consideration.” Footags of 230.000.0C0 More than 30 per cent of the moI tion pitcure industry's entire revenues now comet' rom abioail. and any marked curtailment of tills trade would I have an adverse affect o uthe Indus ; try. During 1927 about 230,1'00,0011 teet of American films were sent to foreign markets. Gross revenues from film exports in 1927 are estimated at $50,000,000. lactin-America, with 80,000,000 feel.
