If the weather man will promise to provide a day like yesterday for Easter Sunday he will add to his popularity considerably. There was much oratory in the Reed-Borah debate on the prohibition question but nothing we haven't all heard from the soap box on the corner or in the washroom of a Pullman. So far there has been no graft excitement over the city primary campaign and it is not likely there will be. The candidates however may file until April 7th and there may be some new contestants by that time. if you like to read locals you can add to the interest of that section of the paper by telephoning items in. Call 1.000 and tell us the news so ’ve can tell it to our readers. Its the best feature a newspaper can have. Considerable build ug is being contemplated in Decatur this year, the surest sign that a community is moving forward. Pep up and help make 1929 a real record breaker for prosperity here. The state board of accounts will chock up the armory dibursements, which is right for those who have been spending this money have no more right to do so foolishly and extravagantly than have those in charge of roads, schools or other departments. A Muncie man has figured it out that basketball in Indiana costs annually $9,200,000 and says if it cost ten times that, it would be worth it. Now if some one can commercialize it. he will make a fortune and if he don't it will be the first venture of the kind that hasn't wound up with fortunes for those who gained control. Wheat never looked better, the soil is in excellent condition, fruit has not been danaged, the outlook for a big crop could not be better at this season of the year. Hope and pray that this may continue for what we need above every thing else in Adams county is u bumper crop and then a fair price for it. It is reported that many of the players and fans of the various basketball teams, wept when defeat came, which seems rather silly when there are so many things more serious to sob over. Its great to be loyal to your team and to support them in every honorable way but we doubt if that includes depressing yourselves by an “old fashioned cry,'' but if that helps, go to it, youngsters. The Frankfort basketbull team took home the bacon from the state tournament, this being the second time they have scored a victory in the big meet. They had a good team, well coached and won the final from Technical of Indianapolis because of smartness in playing. Every body recognizes them as the champs for this year, but wait until next season opens and every team will go out after the honors. Another terrible flood calamity in the south, with great loss of lite and property and indescribable sufferings. Something ought to be done and quickly. If the nation should spend a billion dollars to correct the situ-

The special session of congress should act. Bank bandits may learn after a while that while they can get away with the money from the rural banks I they are taking long chances in geft-1 Ing away. A few minutes after they I left the bank, Sheriff Hollingsworth | and a crew of aides were on their trail and assisted by police from other cities and detectives, kept on the job until they landed their man. Good work and deserving of praise. There ( should be no leniency nor any delay in dealing justice to these or any other bandits caught with the goods. The bootleggers are exercised over the Jones law which provides a ten thousand dollar fine and five years in prison, claiming it has injured their business greatly. That was the purpose of it we presume. Plans are being made to try the two men caught at Woodburn the other day under this law at Fort Wayne, this being the first test in this section, perhaps in the state. A few convicitions wi’h such penalties would no doubt tend to lessen the ambitions of thousands en-1 gaged in the traffic. Governor Leslie has approved the bill providing for a license of from three to twenty-five dollars for each store and filling station. It is estimated that this law. if held constitutional, will raise from one to two million dollars by revenue. Thats part of the purpose of it and the other is probably to control to some extent the chain stores and to make them j pay more of their share of government overhead than heretofor. One danger of the new law is, however, that it is the beginning of a system that may become burdensome in the future. Taxes on gasoline raise $300,000.000 in the United States, it is estimated but this will not stop those having cars from “seeing America first." It is expected that between three and four billion dollars will be spent for gas to drive cars this year, the prices of the fuel varying from ten cents a gallon to thirty. Every state in the union now has a gasoline tax, excepting New York and Illinois and the latter Is to have one its a result of the present session of the legislature. No doubt you are anxious to get. out and try the new Indiana no speed limit law, but remember that under it you are expected to drive carefully which doesn't mean you are to open up and race over the highways at risk to yourselves and to others. Saturday two cars racing on their way to the basketball tournament at Indianapolis side swiped. One r,f them turned over three times, killing one and seriously injuring the other occupants of the car. Don’t take such chances, its so foolish and so dangerous. Even though the appropriations in the recent legislature total more than $55,000,000 and some fifteen or twenty million besides that for highway development and even though there must be a ten cent increase in the state tax rate, those who should know, claim the state is in a very serious financial condition which will develop most keenly about October Ist. Seems as though the republican politicians felt so sure' that Frank Dailey would be eleeted governor and they were so anxious to prove that democrats cannot operate business, that they decided to make it impossible and came near doing it. Now they must work out of it the best they can. Its a joke on them but a bigger one on the people. The state board of accounts was

SURVEY REVELS THAT MARRIAGE IMPROVES GRADES OF STUDENTS

Seattle, March 18— (UP) — When Cupid enters Into the affairs of University of Washington students, better scholastic standings result, according to a recent survey made on the campus. The married students at tin- university—and there are plenty of them—have learned that the wedding ring is a valuable asset in acquiring an academic education. "I think any boy or girl will be better off by getting married before they’ve finished their university studies," Joe Bowen, varsity football player said. A tendency to settle down from the gay college life and greater attention to books is th chief advantage these students find in their undergraduate marriages.

HOGS, IN DARING CONTEST WITH TRAIN DERAIL CARS BUT NO ONE IS INJURED

Great Falls, Mont., Mar. 18—(UP)— Hogs may ordinarily be considered harmless and docile animals, but a pair of them combined to upset the equilibrium of a trainload of 30 people at. Fields, seven miles east of here, recently. Waddling onto the right of way of the Great Northern Railway, two of the animals defied the power of a passenger train and sent the train bouncing off the tracks and scurrying across the prairies for more than 100 yards. The traiu was heading for Lewistown when it. met the hogs, who tefused to let the approach of the locomotive bother them. One of the animals was tossed high in the air, but the other, believed to have had more courage than his mate, ducked his head and went, under the wheels of the locomotive, directing them across the froaeu prairie. The loco-

for a number of years the butt of attack from many politicians and interests throughout the state. It has survived all these years and grown in favor with the people of Indiana because of the great good it has accomplished/- The board, was created at the urgent recommendation of Governor Marshall in 1911. At that time its only duties were to audit the books of public officials. Since then its duties have been extended until now it performs many functions in al! departments of the state, including the preliminary preparation of the budget. It examines plans for public buildings to see that specifications are right and that no extortion is practiced. While the board of accounts or any other agency can never prevent corruption in office, it can minimize it and that is what has been done. Once every year the books of every township, county, city and state official are examined by experienced accountants. These books are uniform all over the state and the board instructs new officials how to keep books. It has done a great work and is one of the very valuable agencies of the state government.—New Castle Times.

Quite tten both husband and wife are still atendiug (lasses, although sometimes just one of the pair is able to, a survey revealed. At the University of Oregon, I’roffossor Herbert Howe, of the English department, would have all of his students marry. “All college students should be married before they enter college," he is quoted. If they wre all married, and they would waste fewer evenings and marriages w uld be for the betterment of scholastic standings.” Edwin Guthrie, psychology evpert at the university said: "Intelligence tests show that persons who get married have a higher intelligence rating."

The cars s’ayed on their wheels, and although the passengers and crew were thrown into a riot of disorder. none was badly injured. And now it is wondered whether the hogs were trained to the ta.sk. The owner of the animals appeared at the wreck, somewhat aggravated a‘. the loss of his pork. But his young daughter also appeared, armed with a camera, and began “shooting” tlie prairie tour from all angles, announcing that she would send pictures to all who wished them. The resulting collection was rapid and large. The little girl walked away with both hands filled with coins, secre’.ly hoping that “papa's hogs would do it again sometime."

These wives of ours! WE TOOK them from the shelter of their families, gave them two or three rooms and a share of o-ir salary—then left them sitting there among the wedding presents, a bit bewildered. BUT they knew how—these wives of ours. They knew how to make rooms into homes, and how to get more merchandise out of a dollar bill than we ever could. We’re lucky to have wives.. How do they do it? LOOK through this paper, day by day. You will find advertisements covering almost every human need They are filled with hints for the household, hints for health, hints for clothing, hints for keeping young. They are virtually little essays on life. No wonder these wives of ours follow them so carefully. As one wise wife said: “It isn’t so much that I know housekeeping so well. I know where to learn it!” Most advertising is prepared especially for women. Read it. It forms an authoritative textbook on good housekeeping. Decatur Daily Democrat
