Facts are that we usually don't have dependable weather until the middle of May. Hitch your car some where along the curb. Don't double park unless you don't care whether you are summoned into court or not. The police have orders to stop this practise for the good of the public safety. There doesn't seem to be any good reason why abled bodied men. women, boys or girls in this community should be out of work. This promises to be one of the busiest and most prosperous summers we have ever had around here. Go ahead and enjoy it. Rev. Shumaker is now devoting much time to condemn those newspapers which do not agree with him which at least keeps his attention directed away from the supreme court of the state. If he is sincere he is acting very foolish we fear. Airplanes are sold F.A.F.. meaning "fly away factory," instead of F. 0.8., as you have been used to buying your cars or other goods. You buy your plane in a field near the factory and can either drive it home yourself or have some other ‘ bird” fly for you. Town Talk got side-tracked one day this week but we made a big ’ kick about it and feel sure it will not happen again, at least not often. We know that every reader likes that column and will continue to help make it more interesting, day by day and in every way. Have you gathered the old tin cans and the rubbish and arranged receptacles so it can be quickly and conveniently handled by the city force which starts Monday morning on the annual cleanup campaign? All citizens are urged to cooperate in this movement for the benefit of the entire community. According to statistics from the Washington bureau there were 23,146 business failures in this country last year, a greater number than usual and significant of the large number who try to make good and either fail to understand conditions or can't comply with them. Business access is not easy and comes only after hard work, plenty advertising, good goods and good service. Tuesday is primary election day and every good citizen should cast a ballot. Desides showing your loyalty io your party, remember that a referendum is to be decided on the daylight saving question. We would like to see a fair expression on this question so the council may know how to act to the approval of the greatest number. Old Pete Stafford, of Niles, California got sick the other day and was taken to an Oakland hospital. When told lie was going to die, Pete conhe was a woman. His wife with whom lie has lived for years seemed deeply distressed at the news. The nurses declare it was easy to fool them but haven't worked out any theory as to how Pete got away with tire hoax with Mrs. Pete ail this time. Among the thirteen senators who

voted with Senator Heflin of Alabama on his recent ‘ bottle'’ motion, was the junior gentleman from Indiana, Senator Arthur R. Robinson. The Star and other Hoosier republican newspapers are deploring that fact but if he was a candidate right now for re-election they would support him on one pretext or another, so why cry about it now. The Jones law is ceasing to be a joke. So long as it only affected the bootlegger, the average fellow didn t worry much but now that they have discovered a clause in the new statute whereby the fellow who nips his nip is liable to a SSOO fine and three years in prison makes it a rather serious habit to form and get careless with. The "five and ten" wasn't so bad but this "three-five'’ puts a different slant to old man Jones' pet. Double parking will not be permitted and those who so indulge will be given notice to appear in police court to tell why they refuse to obey the ordinance ami the orders. The practise has reached a very dangerous jieak in this city and the enforcement does not come too soon for otherwise serious accidents cannot be avoided. The public has been asked to not indulge in double parking but many have not complied so that i now becomes necessary to insist upon it. Surely the announcement in last evening's paper that the General Electric plant in this city has added fifty new employes this week and will add that many more next, increasing their force to about five hundred people, made you all smile with genuine pleasure. It is further proof that this is the best city of its size in the middle west and if that doesn't convince you, then add the fact that the Decatur Castings Compnay is going full tilt with fifty men having been added, that the Krick-Tyndall company's big tile mill is having the best run it has enjoyed in years, that every local industry is progressing. Then if you need more to spread that smile into a grin, just note the fact that within a very short time announcement of one or two new industries will be made here. We are stepping out in good style and every one should be up and doing. 0 Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Darning Thread When darning, draw a raveling from the goods which is to be darned, use it as the thread and it will give the particular shade of thread desired.

TAKES LIFE OF WIFE AND SELF Moonshine Liquor Is Said To Have Been Cause For Double Shooting Indianuipolis, May 4—(U.R>— In the presence of is three-year-old daughter, George Sluder, 32. apparently crazed by bootleg whiskey, shot and killed his wife and then turned the revolver on himself, committing suicide. The shooting occurred In the kitchen of the Sluder home, the woman with a bullet through her heart wus found on the floor and the man had straggled to the front yard where he collapsed. Pierce Sluder, Ute first to arrive on the scene, caught his brother as he slumped to the ground. “Were you drinking. George?" Pierce asked. "I had a few." George answered. ■•Was there anyone else mixed up in this?" "No one. oh, I am sorry I shot her"; Sluder exclaimed as he drew his last breath. According to friends, the Sluder's had engaged in numerous controversies since their marriage. It was pointed out that the woman had resented her husband's alleged liquor dealings and "was afraid of him when he was drinking." Authorities could give no reason for the double slaying beyond the possibility that Sluder shot his wife when she reprimanded him for his ' liquor dealings, they said. He waa to have left for Detroit last 1 night, several hours after the tragedy neighbors said. Three other children of the Sluders were playing in the street when the shooting occurred and did not learn of the tragedy until a large crowd gathered at their home. - Political Announcements FOR CITY CLERK Please announce my name as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for city clerk, subject to the decision of the voters in the primary election on May 7th.
