By nine o'clock tonight one town in Indiana will celebrate because it has the state high school basketball championship. The report that gold had been found on a Madison county farm is false, but there are many Adams county farmers who will receive gold returns from crops this year. Here's wishing everyone of them a big pile. The first week's poll in the Literary Digest's straw vote on the prohibition question at least started a few feathers to fly and added ; heat to the hearings being held in congress: We have an article on our dask which asks the question, "How much does a baby cost?" That's impossible to answer for as we look at it they never do grow up ami as long as we have a penny wa're willing to share it with them. Northern Indiana's chances of winning the state high basketball championship were blasted when rhe Frankfort squad defeated Fort Wayne Central last night. Central wgs ahead at the half, but it was a yifterent story during the second halt and the former state cliampWWls showed the citv boys how to •play basketball. Frankfort, Washington and Muncie loom as contestants for the state title. ** - TVarden Daly of the Michigan City prison in an address the other day told of the overcrowded conditions in the state penitentiary. He predicted that there would be -3,tt00 convicts back of the walls within the next three years, the population of the colony growing at. the rate of more than 200 a year. Daly intends to ask the legislature for a half million dollars to build an addition to the prison. This is something for the citizens and taxpayers to think about. Congressman Albert Vestal, rep-

|f 1 TODAY’S CHUCKLE « ((J.R) « Heath End, Eng. — Frantic i barking of her dog caused Mrs. | George Evans to open the door i of her oven, and her cat Jump- I ed out, unharmed. ♦ —- ♦ resenting the Eighth district, took time off this week ‘o announce that he was a candidate for the Republican nomination for the ■ame office. Mr. Vestal has served in congress for 14 years and is now the “whip" of the house. He has opposition in his own party this year, hut the seasoned cam paigner intends to make a thorough canvas of the voters in this district and the race promises to be interesting at least. Alexander WoolcoU tells of a small town editor who referred to a somewhat bibulous and doughty Major of t.b« community as a “bottle-scarred veteran.” The Major burned a path to the editor’s office, waving a six-shooter in one hand and a horse-whip in the other. A retraction was immediately promised, but the editor left town when it appeared. It mollified thusly: "The Major's record on the field of honor is so well known that it is doubtless superfluous to , explain that what we meant to call him was ‘a battle-scared' veteran of the Civil 'War." —O. O. McIntyre. ' Sure, a newspaper never has any trouble. The Democratic State committee has readily acceded to the request of the Indiana Bar association that in the order of nominations for state office candidates for the supreme and appellate courts be placed first. That makes it unanimous, the Republican State {committee already having amended its rules in similar fashion. The purpose is that nominations for the state judiciary be made at the outset of the ballot work in the state conventions where there are ample time and opportunity to choose nominees with all consideratMW.* Heretofore the nominations for the judiciary were the last business of a convention, when great numbers of delegates would have gone home and those remaining would be* too tired to greatly care , what candidates were named provided it be done quickly. Having now provided that nominations for the judiciary shall be ' made with such attendance of circumstances as may permit thorough consideration, there remains another essential step. That is that the political parties give themselves some pains to assure that candidates worth considering present themselves for place on the judiciary tickets. It not always, we do not know that it is' often, that the best possible men are brought forward for these nominations from which the benches of the state's highest courts are to be filled. The best possible should be done in all cases, and the parties have some duty to see that the best possible will at least be good. What now has been done to assure supreme and appellate judges of the proper type can be regarded only as one step. There ; should and doubtless sooner or later will be other steps. But at least there is the beginning of I definite effort to get improvement. This should have some moral influence on jiarty managers and upon the electorate, both which elements appear to have been in need of some spurring.— Fort Wayne ■lout nul-Gazette. o I 0 — - — o | CONGRESS TODAY !♦— (UiR) « Senate: Conlinties tariff debate.

Ml NERS VOTE LEWIS SUPPORT President Gets Unaninwus Consent to Discipline Revolters | Indianapolis, March 14.— lU.RI John L. Lewis rode today on the . crest of a wave Os enthusiastic J vindiction from dolegates to the; United Mine Workers of America convention. The veteran International president came through the most critical of his many battles In the realm of labor with a vote that was tantamount to vindication and support In his struggle to repress reIgdlioiie forces seeking to establish a counter union in Illinois. Delegates voted to the man. that rebellious officials in Illinois should be disciplined to whatever extent is considered necessary ill order to preserve the present unioif. Action was taken after four days of discussion of the Illinois situation. Speakers during that time flayed officials of district 12 and subdistrict 9. and their followers. “Men from the pits,” in unvarnished terms, leveled charges of murder. intimidation, coercion, graft and corruption, at leaders of the rump convention in Springfield. The vote by which a complete victory for Lewis was apparently [ assured, was taken on a committee report of a joint officers report. It said in part: "The reprehensible part played by the district and sub-district organizations in this affair, in attempting to secure a permanent injunction to restrain the officers of the international union from revealing the true state of affairs existing in Illinois, should be con demned by this convention. “The Springfield meeting was called without authority and *in defiance to the laws of our organization and tho-e who participate in this meeting should be deal' with by this convention. "It is recommended that this convention concur in the actions of international officials, and take I such action as is necessary to preiserve our organization." Only few rifts were in evidence in the convention. Among hundreds of resolutions sent in by lo-

cals there were some •linking re-1 1 bakes to officials. l-t <hey "ere far in the minority. Eight local., would have Lewis and other lout national officials resign, and. *< , oral suggested that salaries ot lu i ternational officials be rem ■ but there was no evidence of a ] strong following to either silggcf Today’s session closed at noon, with reports taking up the greatei part of the time If any firework" . ‘re going to be brought Into P«>. ; they are being saved for next I week. •OLD IRONSIDES’ RECONDITIONED (CONTINUED F A U — ) "nearly three years while 1 shipwrights worked to restore it to a semblance ot its erstwhile glory. Floodgates were opened. Old ironsides was floated, ami. flaunting Hags and bunting from , three temporary masts, move • majestically in tow to a neighbor- . I ing pier. There it was tied up to I await installation of permanent J masts and rigging- ’! Eventually, If all goes well, th' '! venerable warship will make a tour ot American ports so that school J children board and inspect the I craft whose conquests oi the Se.iS ; crowd many pages of United ' j States history. For years prior to the restora--1 tion work begun in 1928, Old ' Ironsides had rested in obscurity | at the Boston navy yard, scene of ’1 today’s undocking, tenantless ex''lcept for the crowd ot memories '(that peopled her deck. • I It was just a century ago that ’ the government decided that this pioneer warship was unseaworthy ' | and should be broken up and sold ' I for junk. Then a young man nam- ' cd Oliver Wendell Holmes sent to 8 I a newspaper a few lines of verse, '• I which read in part: 8 "Oh letter that her shattered hulk i-1 Should sink beneath the wave: I Her thunders shook the mighty s i deep, i> | And there should be her grave: i-INail to the mast her holy flag, e ' Set every threadbare sail, ' Ami give her to the god of storms. The lightning and the gale!” s : Government machinery, inspired s by this poem, was set at work to e 1 reetore Old Ironsides and soon she '- 1 was sailing the seas again, but now lon missions of peace instead of in e the belligerent mood that had won i-1 her an indelible place in history, i- The Constitution, only 175 feet

Their own automobile was bulleti riddled and nearly out of gas. Shortly before noon the bnndlU had driven in front of the State Bank nt Manter, Kans. While one remained in the automobile, the ' others entered the bank. Forcing H. H. Hoopingarner, president, two tellers and nine customers to line up against a wall, under threats they would "pump them full of lead if they turned around.” the bandits dashed behind a cage and gathered $4,000 in cash in sacks. The two then backed out of the bank, leaped into the waiting automobile and sped toward the Colo- ! redo line. The bandits apparently were equipped with a small arsenal. A general alarm was sent from
