I No need to look at the calendar to ‘ find out when spring is coming when , we’re having this brand of weatuer. So far the only word from ‘.he ’ White House is that the new occu- . pants like it and will probably want j to stay there the next four years. t Now the only things for President t Hoover to solve are farm relief, law enforcement, prohib* ion, the Mexican situation and last hut not least the < appointing of 18,000 men to jobs. 1 Tomorrow conies the Rockefeller i and Stewart election among the stock- ( holders of the Standard Oil company f of Indiana and with both sides claim- t jug victory, the outcome is being t watched with Interest. 1 ■ , With these spring days automobile s traffic is increasing and those who £ drive should observe the STOP signs. ( They have been newly painted and , an alibi that you did not see them , will not be taken for gospel truth in ( case of accident. I The state legislature is having a hard time deciding between duty and the beating about the bush in trying to raise revenue. Slate finances are short and more money is needed. Insteady of raising the state levy, some way to raise funds through special sales taxes, licenses and what not is having the attention of the legislators. Before the boys gel through everyi thing you buy will have a nuisance , tax on it. Cutting a mellon of $1,150 a share by the First National Bank of New York city, adding more than thirty ■ millions to the wealth of the owners of the stock proves that banks are a good investment. Every community, large or small, must depend upon I its banks and good banks are one of the best advertisements a town can have. Decatur has three strong and well managed financial institutions, all of which have aided in the building up of the community and are here to continue this policy. Announcement lias been made that the Holland St. Louis Sugar company will increase the price for sugar beets to $7.50 per ton, making the crop more profitable than ever. The local sugar factory cannot operate without beets and the management is doing everything possible to encourage the farmer to raise five or ten acres of beets this year. It's important to you that the sugar factory operates next fall and with a guaranteed and much higher price offered for the beets, we believe that many farmers in this territory will grow lieets this year. With Hie exception of Mr. Mellon as secretary of the treasury and Mr. Davis as secretary of labor, the senate has approved President Hoover's cabinet appointments. The senate has a big republican majority aud if Mr. Hoover fails in having his personal appointees approved by that body, his stock as a politician and party leader will get a slow start. Several of the new cabinet officers are just average men. unknown to the country and it seems that Mr. Mellon and Mr. Davis should not be discriminated against. What would the administration do without Mr. Mellon'-’

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Buenos Aires — (U.K)— A $25,000 fire burned itself out here the other day whtle firemen dug for the waterplug which had been concreted over by workmen who had repaved the street. He has been the boss of the last two administrations end surely he is needed now. Decatur is to have a Full festival and agricultural show this year. Adams Post No. 43 of the American Legion is sponsoring the big show and with the cooperation of the members of the Decatur Industrial Association and local merchants the affair can be made a happy and enjoying one. It will be patterned after the Old Home Week celebration and the Legion hopes to make the week such a grand success that it will become an annual affair. France Confer, commander of the Legion post, will soon appoint his committees aud by having six months or more to plan and work for the success of the festival, it is bound to be one of the outstanding events next fall. Special attention will be given to the agricultural show aud prizes will be awarded for the best exhibits. Now some fellow comes along and opines that the presidency will be a handicap to Mr. Hoover’s earning capacity. Mr. Hoover no doubt realized that before he became a candidate and does not regret taking the fatal step. The new president is probably the richest man ever to occupy the White House. He is reputed to be worth ten million dollars and that, even in this day, is not to be laughed at. He probably did earn more as an engineer, than his salary as president, but the nation is not niggardly with its president. He is paid a yearly salary of $75,000 and is allowed an extra $25,000 for traveling expenses. He is given the use of the White House, with all its servants, secret service men, cooks, secretaries, valets, chauffeurs, a yatch and an automobile or two. His only expense is for his clothes and bread and butter. President Coolidge went into office a poor man and it is said, saved nearly a half million dollars. The honor and power which goes with the presidency off sets any financial consideration and there are few men living today who would not trade dollars for the high office. President Hoover would not trade for the highest salaried job in the world. Hoosiers in general regret to see Harry S. New', postmaster-general leave the cabinet. Mr. New was appointed by President Harding and during his administration the postal service was improved aud the Hoosier cabinet member proved to be one of the real hard working men in Washington. Indiana did not land a place in the cabinet, although two members of President Coolidge’s cabinet were appointed by Mr. Hoover. Expressing the state's regret, the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette remarked: “The decision of Presideut Hoover not to retain the services of Postmaster-Gen-eral Harry S. New is the occasion of general regret in Indiana, aud the more so since it would have, been quite logical to do so. The appointment of Walter F. Brown of Ohio is distinctly a. political and not by the hardest stretch of the imagination an engineering choice. Mr. Brown is intensely a politician and lie was the Hoover field marshal in the grim battle of the primaries in the Buckeye state. He was one of Theodore Roosevelt’s captains and he has served Mr. Hoover well. But in sheer point of merit Postmast-er-General New had the superior claim. If he was not passed over as a concession to Senator James Eli Watson, now Republican floor leader of the senate, then it is necessary to discard the probable as improbable." -—o—0 — NOTICE I am not responsible tor any checks ! signed by J. 11.
