One of tlie things we don't need in this section for u few days is a good rain. They might at least keep the fliers on one ocean. Its hard to watch the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Arctic oceans all at the same time. Alter all it isn't surprising that the Democratic stat, platform failed to approve the Jackson administration. —lndainapolis News. No. the surprise is that his own party could not approve the Jackson regime. Nine Indiana colleges will graduate thirty-two hundred young men and women next week, adding a lot of mighty tine young men and women to the workers of this great state. They should be splendidly qualified to take their places in the busy field of opportunities. No one understood during the primary why they were trying to beat Frank Dailey, no one understood why they went on through the convention with the odds against them, no tnie will understand it now if those who believe there should be a cleaning up in Indiana do not vote for him. The crop outlook is not as good as we would like to see it but compared to last year it is probably not any worse. Do you remember that at this time last year much of the corn was not planted? This year its in but the excessive rains have made some of it look rather sick. The sentiment for Old Home Week is growing. It can be made a big occasion and one that every one will enjoy if we will all become enthused. Every community needs an occasional celebration of this kind and besides being a good thing for business, a pleasant week it helps by drawing all of our citizens closer together. An immigrant landed in New York twenty years ago with only a few cents in his pocket. He worked and .accumulated a small fortune, then became a stock gambler. He built up a fortune of ten million dollars. -Then his luck turned. He died the .other day penniless. He had his . thrills but he would have had more happiness playing it safely. The flagpole sitting stunt doesn't Seem to be going so good this year. Ben Fox made elaborate plans for such an exhibition in Chicago but so little attention was paid to his efforts .to break a world record that he slid down the back way, eluded his guard ’and got away, leaving several credi•tors unpaid. We seem to be making some progress. The News-Sentinel is terribly ’ wrought up because of mention of farm relief in the stats democratic platform. What will they say and do if such a plank is made a part of the Kansas City platform? If the G. O. P. does otherwise they will slap in the face the delegation of one hundred thousand farmers who are petitioning them for some relief. You are urged to give whatever aid you can to the authorities who are trying to check the course of the

smallpox or chickenpox now spreading some. Whatever It is it is contagious and you should assist in stamping It out. Call a physician if there are auy indications of illness • and obey the quarantine. If this is j done, the epidemic, If it can be called that, will be soon under control. To • do else is to take serious chances. Marguerite Bumbaugh, of Warsaw, 1 shot and killed her former employer* j lover at Niles, Michigan. March 30th. , She and her two brothers were ari rested on a charge of murder. Yes ' terday by agreement she plead guilty to manslaughter and was given a sentence of three to fifteen years in the house of correction at Detroit while her two brothers were freed. All were tickled pink as we should naturally think they would be. Looks from here like they got off rather easy. 11 " It won't be long now. The republican national convention will open in Kansas City next Tuesday and by a week from today we will be receiving some news of that fray. Two weeks later the democrats meet in Houston. Texas, to name a ticket. Then comes the most Interesting national election campaign held in this country in a number of years. What will be the result and what will it mean to this country? Times are not what tlrty were when the republicans took over , affairs eight years ago with a promise that prosperity was just around ' the corner. _i hi. 1.1 _ With a minimum of the variety of ! Internal strife which so often has deprived the party of the benefit of its • labors, the Democrats of Indiana ' Wednesday applied themselves confidently to the nomination of a s’ate ticket and the adoption of a platform which they can lay before the people with the certainty that they will get a hearing in the campaign. The nomination of Frank C. Dailey for governor was dictated by considerations which speak well for the party’s judgment of men. His record in this state and elsewhere as a federal attorney in eases involving election corruption Is a matter of general satisfaction. The delegates were impressed with his reputation for integrity and ability. They were in a mood to give complimentary recognition to other aspirants for the place, but they expressed their approval of Dailey in unstinted terms by nominating him on the first ballot. He is well qualified to plead the party's cause and to uphold the traditions which it cherishes with singular tenacity.—lndianapolis News. o *¥*¥¥*■<>***¥•* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO • Saturday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1928 by United Press WBZ, Springfield, 333, 6:10 cst’— Bos-, ton Symphony “Pop" Concert.

Ll!\ § N O OTH E R WE E K i (By Mrs. Rose Shoemaker) > Our old town’s just a-booining with a glorious welcome call ! To loyal folks both far and near, she wants you one anti all To meet again; to feel again the thrills you cannot speak ' In a happy gct-to-getlicr during “Old Home Coining Week." There’s a bit of hallelujah in the greeting of old friends, Though often misty sadness with mirthful laughter blends. If life is what we make it and lime evens up the score; (Lome, let us count our blessings as we never have belore. We are proud of Adams county with a name so truly great; She has cradled many a lowly born for (tod, for home and state. She may not boast vast riches nor flaunt a worldly tame, But in good old-fashioned friendship she is always just the same. There are memories doubly sacred linked with early pioneers; Hdw they trod the way of empire, filling ranks of volunteers. Thru their stamina and valor in this land then little known, Made (he-wilderness to blossom into homes we call our own. t Think on days ol happy childhood: noble youth so unafraid. Dream of rambling wiidwood pathways and the pals with whom you played. Oh. the years have wrought their changes, count them three score years or ten Rut our never failing spirits softly echoes an amen. Do you hear Decatur's welcome? Hear her ringing jubilee? Ne’r a time like this recorded on her page of history! Let's forget life's little troubles. Let us mingle here and seek .lust to have the best time ever, during “Old Home Coming Week"
