The city of Valparaiso has au ice war on it is reported, posh it hasn’t been hot enough for that any where else- in Indiana this spring. Its out at last — Lindy and Miss Anne will be married at four o’clock in the afternoon of June 14th. Now the newspaper reporters can quit being peevish every time the ace refuses to whisper the secret to them. Sunday will be Hospital Day and is to be observed in this city. From two to four in the afternoon will be “open house” at the Adams County Memorial hospital and you are invited to call. Circus day and the hoys and girls, both young and o'd. all thrilled If you are not old you wil enjoy the red lemonade, the smell of the animals, the peanuts and the clowns as much today as you ever did. It's the one thing that never grows stale. The one cent Increase in gasoline tax increased the income for the state highway department $300,000 during the month of April, a rather successful start. At that rate it will add several millions to the fund aud ought to enable ttiern to construct a good many additional miles. This was one very good week for the farmers and if you don't thiuk they took advantage of it, drive out in any direction. You will find many fields plowed and prepared for corn and in a few cases even planted. They can stand another week just like it. John Raskob is back ou the job as a member of the iijiance committee of General Motors. It will be remembered that Raskob resigned as chairman of the board to assume charge of the Smith campaign. The directors evidently feel he has been .punished sufficiently or need his advice, one or t'other. South Bend lias adopted daylight saving time and Indianapolis expects to do so June 9th, with much opposition in each place. There is but one thing ultimately to be done in this matter and that is to have federal regulation that will give every body the same lime, whatever that is decided to he best. There is no- speed l*mil iu Indiana under the tiew ! law but tlie president of the lloosier Motor club warns drivers not to see how fast they can go for the law does provide a penalty for reckless driving aud Mr. Hatfield points out that this means driving at a rate of speed no faster than will permit you to bring your car to a stop within the assured deal' distance ahead. The police appreciate tiie cooperation given last Saturday to enforce the traffic ordinances in Decatur aud ask fur a continuation of that attitudp. Its a tough job for every one. officers.:;the police, the drivers and the peddstriaiis and can be solved only by every one workiug together Don’t double park, don’t run the red lights, don't drive with one light and be sure' to stop at the street signs, if you do you will save embarrassment for y ourself and for every ope eise.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Pawtucket, R. I. — (U.R) — Mrs. Alice Holbrook was forced to call police to keep undertaker* away from her home. A practical Joker telephoned moat of the city’s morticians that Mrs. Holbrook's sister had died. >

! Catherine Cassler, of Chicago, was 1 tried for haring plotted the murder i i of a man. was found guilty and was sentenced to be hanged. In Chicago i this was more than a seven days' 1 marvel. It is a notable phenomenon when a Chicago jury convicted a female murderer of any degree of guilt, and a hanging verdict was quite unprecedented. In connection with the same crime another woman. Lillian Fraser, was convicted as an accomplice aud given a sentence of life imprisonment. See how justice has worked in Illinois. A higher court granted Cassler a new trial, but Fraser went to Joliet according to the court's degree. Now the Fraser woman, having died iu the penitentiary, has served her sentence and paid to society her debt in full. And the prosecuting attorney of Chicago has forthwith nollicd the case against Catherine Cassler, declaring that without the testimony of Lillian Fraser It would be impossible to hope for a conviction. Law in Cook county, therefore, has operated to send the lesser criminal to literal life imprisonment and to leave unpunished the woman charged with being the chief instigator of a capital crime. Such miscarriages make the law look like a grab-bag. Either both women were guilty or both were innocent, and if they were guilty the one who has suffered was less guilty than the one who is now turned loose. —Cleveland Plain Dealer.
