CHANGING THE COUNTY ELECTION BOARDS: — George Saunders, editor of the Bluffton Banner and one of the able . members of the Indiana house of representatives, tells of a slick one the republicans worked last Saturday relative to passing a law governing the appointing of the election boards. Editorially Mr. Saunders wrote: "The republicans in the Indiana house put over a fast one Saturday forenoon just before adjourning for the day. The bill, the brain work of the republican state committee, gives the county chairmen the right to name the election boards, removing that right from the county commissioners. In Wells county, and many others, the boards have been recommended by the chairmen -and then appointed by the commissioners, but the new law takes away that right and places it with the election commissioners of the county and the chairmen get this—whose party polled the greater number of votes for secretary of state at the proceeding election, has precedent over the other chairmen, which, of course, gives him the right to name the inspector, which carries with it the majority of - the election board in each precinct. For instance, should Wells county » ever go so far astray on the state tice ket as to give her majority to the 2 secretary of state on the republican ~ ticket, but elect the entire ticket out- • side of that one office, the republican “chairman would make his recommendations to the election commission of the county and that would be that — - and that only. The proposed law also • takes away the right of the trustee “to act on the board in the precinct “of his township, ami thus throw-s an ■' added expense on each township in “ the stale of around twelve dollars in MS “each primary and t lection. The bill • carries an added expense without do- • ing any good so far as honest elec- • tions are concerned. In fact it throws ... the election machinery into the hands of the county chairmen almost completely. sets aside lite county com- ’ missioners and the township trustee. Several republicans voted against the measure, but fifty-seven voted for it and it passed the house. Every democrat voted against the measure.” You are interested in keeping the sugar factory here for it is not only one of the largest taxpayers in the county, but it gives steady employment to 25 or 30 families and to hundreds of other persons during the campaign. It’s the only beet sugar plant in Indiana and surely the stale can support one splendid industrylike it. To operate, the factory must have beets. You need not. raise beets merely for the sake of raising them, lor government surveys show that the rotation of beets with oilier crops is helpful to'the soil und that over a period of yeais beets are a money maker. ■ At this time of the year when you arc getting the soil ready for the crops, reserve a few acres for beets.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE New Haven, Conn. -HU.R>—Two burly campus cops were summoned eject a sleeping Yale senior from an English class when his snoring drowned out the lecture. It was in Prom week. wide at the ends and 300 feet wide in the center. It will accommodate a crew of 43 men, maintain a machine shop, operate a hotel und restaurant and we suppose serve liquid refreshments. It will be something new and no doubt be a great place for a presidential candidates to spemla vacation and others who wish to get away from the rest of the world. The rains and thaws have softened the roads and with the constant stream of traffic no Toad can stand up under it. Adams county has more than 700 miles of macadam roads to maintain and if you every try the job, you'll find that it costs money to put new stone on them and keep them in good order. We appreciate the fact that business and commerce cannot cease to operate, just because the roads are soft, but care can be used. By adhering to the traffic rules governing their use, much trouble und inconvenience and probably expense can be saved in the lang run. Let's be sensible about the matter and each one do his part in trying to save the reads as much as possible. Broadcasting of the program marking the inauguratidn of President Hoover will begin at ten o'clock Monday morning and keep up until the ceremony is brought to a close. The parade from the White House to the capital will start at eleven o'clock and as the procession passes in review descriptions of it will be given over the radio. As has been the custom, President Coolidge will accom , pany Mr. Hoover from the White 1 House to the platform, where the I later will take the oath of office which ! will make him the thirty-first presi-| dent of the United States. It will be an inspiring scene and is worthy of the ail pomp and formality which goes with it. The basketball tourney opened last evening with two big games on the card. The high school gym was pack ed with ardent fans and lovers of the sport and it's an event that both young and old can enjoy. Again we want to say that Decatur is glad of the opportunity to entertain the players and fans and hope you enjoy the tourney. If there is as big a scrap in tile legislature over the proposed antidaylight savings bill as there is a division of opinion in communities whether the clocks should be set ahead one hour, we know that the bill will be tabled and no action taken. We feel a little like Mr. Mellon these days. It’s a great period to be living in and the only trouble is that maybe we'll not be here 50 years from now. *- After next Tuesday the Northamp-' ton. Mass., Chamber of Commerce can start advertising that their little city has been selected as the home of an ex-president. Then after Mr. Hoover gets his cabinet appointed he still has about 18,000 other appointments to make. It sounds like an election. Both sides in the Rockefeller and Stewart contest are claiming victory. After reading that the last election cost a total of $16,500,000, we feel like asking, "why bring that up.” Get ready folks to call him President Hoover. Little Richard Helps . Little Richard’s mother was showing a prospective tenant some roony she had for rent. The season being summer, she emphasized the coolness ( of the basement where the kitchen and dinlog room were located. Richard, thinking to help his mother, opened a hot-water faucet and said; "See, even the hot water is cold.”— 1 Boston Herald. ,

Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE White Satin Collars A white satin collar can be cleaned by rubbing it with bread crumbs which have, little moisture. White kill gloves can be freshened in the same way. Do not have the crumbs too moist. Fowl When roasting fowl, place the breast down in the roaster, so that the juices wil penetrate the breast, which is usually dry. Tired Feeling To relieve a tired feeling, nothing is better than to drink a cup of hot milk, as hot as can be borne. <u> «■ TO-DAY'S s' YFISH (.•e# RECIPE •BY MRS ADA B VAI L C i formes assistant U.S. bureau of FISHERIES --- FISH FOR CHILDREN AND INVALIDS Fish of all varieties come from waters teeming with life of all kinds, on which they feed, as well as plant life' and mineral substances in the water. If cooked properly, fish is not only a tasty dish, but a healthy one. Children should be taught when very young young to like fish Many easily j prepared dishes, such as creamed with macaroni or rice, made into tiny cakes with potatoes, eggs, and bread crumbs will soon create a liking for fish. Fillets of rthite-meated fish, because free from bones and easy to diguest, are ideally suited for children and invalids. FISH BOILED IN MILK Any kind of white-meated fish may be used —s de, fiouner. fluke, haddock, codfish or any other. Put about 2 lbs. of fish in a buttered pan. Add a little salt and enough milk to just cover the fish. Bring to a boil, cover, and set off of the stove for 10 minutes Remove fish to a platter, melt 1 spoon-ful of butter, stir in 1 tablespoonful of flour. Add this to broth in the pan from which the fish w is taken. Boil -slowly 5 minutes. Then add % cup cream and 1 tablesp onful sweet butter. Whip with a wire whip until melted; season lightly with salt Strain, if necessary, and pour over the fish. Serve with buttered toast and a sprinkle of parsley. This is an excellent nourishing dish for the invalid. Good Story Unverified The British war office has been unable to find any evidence supporting the legend that the original Thomns Atkins was a private soldier whose name became familiar because he fell dead of wounds while in the act of delivering a message to the dnke of Wellington during the Waterloo campaign. Mythical Fountain Pirene was a celebrated fountain at Corinth, which took its origin from Pirene, a daughter of Oesalus who melted away into tears through grief over the loss of her son, Cenchries. At this fountain Bellerophon is said to have caught Pegasus. The fountain burst forth from the rock In Aeroeoriuthus.
