It pays to do those things which attract patrons to your com- ■ munity. If the Industrial Association carries out its plans and names a committee to see that the river baijks are cleaned they will accomplish much for the right start this spring. Last year this itn portant job was overlooked some way. it was about the only drawback to the best year the community ever had. iw Its just a little early but Erank N. Wallace is already out with the statement that the peach crop for 1930 has been killed and gives as his reason that the mercury dropped to fifteen below zero last month and that peaches can't stand that temperature. Some of the finest peaches in the world however. come frpm central Michigan where it is not unusual to have weather more severe than any we have had here so we are going to wait and see what happens. ■•i — ‘ The third monthly Community Auction will be held at Bellmont Park on Saturday, March Sth. it is announced and indications are that this will be the largest so far _ conducted as many inquiries and ** entries are coming in. These - events help for they give farmers • and. others the opportunity to buy and sell at a market place, attract many people who thus make your city a trading place and assure a larger business. Many are attending these sales from a long distance and after they have operated a year or two will prove as good drawing cards as any thing that can be done. Seventeen Indiana cities, including Angola, Peru, Muncie, Kokomo and others over this way are try- ■ imr to land the field hospital for World War veterans, though it is generally expected it will go to Indiaziapolis.

Twenty years ago today the Boy Scouts of America was incorporated by W. I). Boyce, Chicago newspaper man whoso interest was aroused by a kind act done in Ills behalf by an unknown London Boy Scout tile year previous. The organization immediately took hold and lias grown steadily and rapidly until now there are 220,000 scout h aders in the United States, cat eying the program of character development and citizenship training ■ ■

H TODAY’S CHUCKLE 1 « (UrR) 4 Paris. — Premier Andre Tardieu has promised Par- ■ lianientary action to prevent | the erection of factories and buildings which would ob- ; | struct the marvellous panorama from the famous terrace at St. Germain en Laye, > j which is so popular with American tourists. ' to more than 600,000 boys. Dur1 ing the twenty years more than tour million American boys have received the benefits of scout training. This week. February 7th to 13th is Boy Scout Anniversary Week all over the country, special programs and events are being conducted. There is nothing finer or better than this wonderful work being done by those interested in the boys. ii i .n. Among other things to think about seriously this year is the proposition of deciding whether or not Indiana will have a new constitution. Several organizations have announced intentions of fighting for it and one or two new bodies have been formed just for that purpose. However others are as earnestly opposed to tearing ' down the structure of the basic law of the state and having it rebuilt by representatives of various interests and isms. The attorney general has ruled that the act providing for a vote at next Novembers election on the question and that a majority of the votes cast on ’that proposition shall prevail, is good though it has been held in the past that such elections must be based on the vote for '. secretary of state. There is much J tc think about when we consider , this important step and we hope 1 every good citizen will study it * well before he definitely decides , what position to take , t i Thurman Gottschalk, of Adams , county, the present state senator representing Adams, Blackford and : Wells counties, has announced his candidacy for another term. This .Ski very pleasing to his friends over the district. Senator Gottschalk lias long been recognized as one of the leaders in legislative affairs, taking a place in the front rank of every sound, progressive move- 1 n.ent in the state legislature. A man of excellent judgment, of wide experience, conscientious in pH that he does, it is no wonder that I ivs prestige has steadily increased 11om the day he entered the legis- . lot ure. The district is fortunate in . having such a man to represent it. ; He is a credit to the counties he represents, and above all, lie can always be relied upon to back with ail ills ability anything he is con- . vinced is in the interest of the people. He is an implacable toe to any star chamber pieces of ) legislation. That is one of the reasons that he lias the confidence of the people.-Hartford City News. o Modern Etiquette I I By | ROBERTA LEE ♦ (U.R> ♦ Q.
