The boys are home from the naval conference held the past several .weeks in London. They do not luing.with them any treaty that they -can go wild over or that the peop|e will but perhaps they have advanced a step towards world peage. That's what every one is hoping. The state is building the grade for the paving of No. 27 between Berne and Geneva and paving No. 16 between this city and the Ohio state line, all of which means the employment of a number of men and a highway system through the county which will keep us on the ruaiTin the future. Women are now mixed up in most of the robberies that are reported. indicating that they are rapidly attaining the equality with men for which they have clamored for . several decades. Os course whan caught they should expect to take the same medicine the men get and with a bold front, its certaWly'Tiot a sob game. it stems brutal to shoot into the prisoners ai the Ohio penitentiary but just’Tiow would you do it otherwise ff held a job there? The place is so crowded that isolation # of more than a small percentage of the men is impossible and since they refuse to observe orders and almost every day start a new riot, it looks as though they must be controlled or freed. Its serious. As the end of the campaign draws near there is more or less tension among candidates and we hope that each will continue the clean and open campaign which lias so far marked the contest. Play it clean boys and after its all over smile, shake hands with the winners and go out to pile up the largest majority in history next November. Five men, convicted of crime and all ready to take the trip from Denver to Leavenworth, have demanded a specially chartered airplane for the journey. Why, sure, why question the desires of the hoys. Pack the thing with an electrical refrigerator, or one of those “ice from gas” things, fill it with a few tilings to eat and lots to drink. Our thugs must be pampered or they'll complain.—Uluffton Banner. The Ladies' Shakespeare club this week closed their forty-eighth year as an organization. That seepis a long time but there are members of the club who well remember its founding. During those years these women have each year studied literature and history and have kept familiar with current events. Certainly such a club is worth while and Decatur has several of that kind which (kserve

The meeting of the eighth district club women held here was un ! event of interest, not the least of | whicU was to leant their position • on various questions of importance. I One of the matters discussed by • them with of course a variance of i! I opinion, was that of the proposed • constitutional convention, upon! which the voters will be asked to pass next November. We agree with them that every one should , study the question that they may vote intelligently and we would add that they remember that changing tlie state's basic law is a very serious tiling at this time when there are so many private interests to lie served, so many ism and divisions. If there are firings ;to be corrected they of course I should be taken up and clguiged j provided a majority of people think they can lie bettered but to make two or three necessary change* is

it necessary to rebuild the entire constitution? We doubt it and we ' hope every woman and every man as well will think seriously over the proposition that they may vote intelligently. in 1932 the nation will oelebrate the 2m>th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. Naturally, the celebration will take a lot of forms; one of the best that we have heard of thus far is tlie proposal of the American Tree Association. which hopes to see 10,000,000 memorial trees planted in the United States between now and February 22, 1932. The American Tree Association has fought valiantly, for many years, to get the American public to understand the importance of reforestation meastm-#, Tlie bi-centennial program it haft IttsfV'aiinounced should give this cause a great impetus. Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the Association, has this to say of it: “George Washington was a woodsman and a tree planter. His diary contains repeated references to the value of trees and their care. Great programs are being put under way by tine Bi-Centennial committee. The tree planting is a* thing the individual can do. Thus hie can have a very real part in the celebration.’’ » • I Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE ♦ — • A Brush for Velvet An efficient brush for velvet hats and garments can be had by making a padded cushion of velvet about five inches long and three inches wide, inserting a piece of .cardboard to stiffen it, and then stufling witli cotton.

NERD OFHUNGRY GOATS ALWAYS RETURN NOME Hybrid Variety Escapes Brambles, But Eats Everything Merry Hilt, N. C„ April 29—(UP) —Slate Senator E. S. Oskew, Bertie county, owns a herd of 100 "Ikioiiierang” goats - they always conre track. The herd was waited several years ago with a pair of Angols. Angota have long liair, and the many reeds ami Imrier in the Roanoke river section kept Senator Askew busy untangling his goats, so lie decided to cross them with ordinary hilly goats. The present goats do not get stuck in brier patches, but they inherited enormous appetites. They lave eaten almost everything around the Oskew farm except tlie water pump. in the flock are goats of various names. One is called “Washing," because he ate the entire laundry of a negro tenant, consumed clothes L lines and whetted his teetli on the! ■lothes pins. David J.

the voters of Washington Township I am a candidate for the Democratic nomination for trustee of Washington township and as it has been impossible for me to personally see every voter I am taking this means to solicit your vote and your support. I have served more than three years in this office and have tried earnestly during that time to save the taxpayers every cent possible and at the same time to keep up*your property and to serve you in the best way. I feel that I have accomplished that fairly well and am asking your support upon my record. My books are open for your inspection and I will be glad to show you where savings have been made and just how the office has been conducted. I will annreciate your vote next Tuesday and promise if renominated and elected, to continue to serve you to the best of my ability. Sincerely, T. R. NOLL. My number on the Ballot is 49 « Pol.

Another has been named “Tim | Can,’ He ate the paper off cans In j the trash pile and tried to swallow a tomato can when the red label stuck. Senalor Ankew had quite a time making the goat "cough un. One goAt ts called '‘Overalls" be-] cause he ate that garment off a farm hand taking a nap after a heavy (tinner. Another Is named because she ate the rubber tup of the family automobile. Before Senator Askew learned of lire enormous appetites of the crossed goats, he sold a few kids tq the neighbors. They soon brought the goats back with such explanations as: children love Billy but Hilly loves fruit trees and flower bushes too much.’” One little hoy said Billy ate the family Bible and "Ma says I got to bring him back to you." Senator Askew now lends the gonts out, warning friends of their appetites, and showing them the acres of new land the coats have eaten clean except for a few scattered pines. Like a boomerang the goats always come back. o GRASS SEED. Vaughan’s Chicago Parks grass seed.
