-The door keepers at the republican national convention will be kept busy if the hundred thousand farmers try to get into the hall which has a seating capacity for 15,000. While every man knows he is supposed to be wearing a straw hat, you can t blame him much for not doing so as long as the weather man insists on providing March winds. We start another week and we can make it what we will. If we are optimistic and ambitious we can do many things for our community and incidentally for ourselves. Wesley Woolems who is eighty-nine years old won a jig dancing contest at Indianapolis. His other big ac- ■ complishment in life is that he is the father of twenty children. Perhaps they made him dance. Efforts to make Governor Jackson out a great man failed in the recent | convention. The people have trot forgotten his $2,500 horse story or the fact that he used the statute of limitations as defense in his conspiracy to bribe case. Congress is planning to adjourn tomorrow to give the members ample opportunity to go home and explain I to the "folks” just why they did cer-I tain things and failed to do certain j other things. That sounds easy but , in some cases its going to be rather difficult. Last week Indianapolis had the republican state convention, this week the 500-mile Speedway race, next week the democratic gathering. The hotel men down there certainly have away of distributing these attractions so they can keep every room occupied at a fancy figure. Indianapolis is trying to get regulated under a “daylight saving ordinance” but most of them seem to be using central time for the mornings and daylight saving for the afternoons. Thats a happy solution for those who feel they devote too much time to earning a living. Decoration Day was not designed as a holiday for enjoying sports and for picnicing. It can of course be used for that if you so desire but you should not fail to at least give thought to the purpose of the occasion, to pay respect to our heroes who have passed on. Mr. Leslie, the nomine for governor on the republican ticket will be kept busy explaining how he became speaker of the house in 1925 when Stephenson was In control and what became of the lost amendments. He will also be asked to answer those who desired an investigation of state officials and were checked in their assorts by Speaker Leslie in 1927.

Ed Bush, nominated for Heutenant governor of Indiana declares he will do everything he can to aid Elie fanners in getting higher prices for their products and Ed means it for he has a couple of good sized farms liimself. The only trouble is that as the presiding officer of the Indiana stale senate, he won't have much havce to say what the price of hogs should be.

The Wanamaker store In Philadelphia has abandoned radio broad-cast-ing because "it is not helpful to the store in a general or an advertising way." This great store was built up on newspaper advertising and dach 1 time they have deviated from that I course have found it not only expensIve but ineffective and that is true in I Decatur stores as well as in those of | the larger cities. asassaMammasmsiMigMaa The recent message from President Coolidge to veto the Haugen-McNary farm relief bill is now one of the 1 principal subjects of discussion among i the members of the United States i senate. The president did not bandy words and many of them were not to the liking of the law makers. In plain language he just about "tookMhe skin off of ’em” and you know how that would go down with the high hat boys. Now they say that Mr. Coolidge never wrote the message and they are trying to find out just who has such I a vocabulary. Governor McMullen, of Nebraska, a I leader of those forces which favor farm relief Is seriously considering leading a hundred thousand farmers to the republican national convention demanding a plank in the platform favorable to such an outcome. He should have directed his army to Washington for our obseravnee has been that keeping party platforms is a’ rare occurance unless the candidates so desire. If Hoover is made the nominee as now seems a ten to one shot, the farmers may as well make up their minds that no relief so far as federal assistance is concerned, will result from his election, except a congress is elected which will pass it over his veto.

Jones, chairman of the finance committee of the Democratic national committee who was endorsed as a presidential candidate by Texas Democrats, said if he could serve the party better as a candidate than as a worker he would gladly be a candidate.
