The big fight is on in Chicago today, this being the day for holding the primaries. There is no democratic scrap, but boy the repuMicans are going to the mat. There is a contest in every precinct and plenty of bloodshed according to early reports. That double execution in Pennsylvania is over and those who feared the law would not take its course as well as those who were ifraid it would, will have to look i'or something else to get excited about. Some times we think such events as this have entirely too much publicity. Every hotly is trying to get a ticket to see Earl Carroll's show when it returns to Chicago next week. It comes because of a difference of opinion between the police and Judge McCarthy as to what is obscene. It pays to advertise. We'will continue to try our best to pttblish a good home newspaper and we are hoping for the support of every subscriber. Those who take the paper by mail should check up on their subscription and if it’s due, come in and renew. We will appreciate it more than we can tell you. The Indiana senate lias passed a bill which if it becomes a law will ijlvert some six or eight million dollars a year to the general ; fund. It provides that the auto license money go to the purpose of paying the bills of the state, tf’hich is alright, but we should remember that it will take that much away from tile highway commission and result in the building of less giiles of road per jear. Seme of Hie papers are trying to glorify Mr. Legge, retiring chairman of the farm relief board which a year ago was touted to be the saver of every farmer in the land. We \vish we could too but when we glance at the markets and find them below any level in many i yeais we hesitate, it's too close O/z VijthKvenue —riding, strolling, shopping—a panorama of beauty streams thru this famous street of fashion.

to Washington's birthday to say tilings so ridiculous. Billy Sunday is threatening to nominate himself for the presidency, but so far hasn't excited any one very much. The Rev. Billy has a field in which he shines but he will find if lie ever enters politics that he is in a game that will make him move faster than a world series or an evangelistic meeting, and even then he probably won't get far. Thousands who will cheer him from the saw dust trail will fight him to the last ditch when it comes to losing a job. Ex-Governor Al Smith is a thinker and does things and he has of- ( sered a suggestion that may help) to bring the country out of disord-, er. He suggests tlrnt all over the. country and especially in the larg-j er cities, the tenement districts be, converted from old shacks intoi modern dwelling places. He tried it in New York City and with much success and he feels it can be done every where if properly inaugurated. The passage of u bill permitting cities to regulate rivers a distance of twenty-five miles up stream has caused quite a little interest here. No one seems to have realized that the bill had even come from committee and few here had heard of it since its introduction until it was announced to have passed. Just how serious it is we cannot say but it is probable that any condition existing here w’ouid likewise be found in other sections of the state. It is doubtful if Fort Wayne will attempt to regulate sewage disposal here for certainly a number of questions, serious not only to us but to other communities would arise. However it was introduced by Senator Williams and likely has a purpose which we shall hear about in due time. , ~ i News concerning the possibilities for the Decatur sugar plant to operate are not encouraging and unless something now unforseen occurs, this community will have to get through the year without this crop and without the campaign mAt fall which has always been helpful. Much as we regret tiie action, we believe Mr. Gallagher and others associated with him have done every thing within their power. Conditions for several years have been any thing but favorable for those who must finance such concerns as this. There is no doubt, but that the balance of thirty per cent, will be i paid the farmers in due time and we are confident that during the year all the difficulties can be worked out and the factories reopened for 1932. We shall continue to cling to tiie slight hope that this may occur during the next week. If however arrangement cannot be made, as is now indicated, we will have to make the best of it and keep right on smiling, hoping and working. ♦ —— * Lessons In English Words often misused: Do not say "The show was pretty good.” Say, “fairly good.” Often mispronounced: Cantata.

Ind., Feb, 24 — With numerous new materials on the market for inoculating legumes, it Is highly important that the farmer buy very carefully and depend on materials that have already proven reliable. Results with some of the new materials have been disappointing because of their low bacteria . content, and it is well that farmers . try these only on a small scale until i their reliability is known. Inocula ; tion materials for nou-legumes have i not been effective because the legume Is the only crop able to take in nitrogen through the root nodule. i Dry materials designed for inoculation several weeks before planting have not given tiie satisfaction otobtaining from jelly or moist cultures, or from soils that are well > supplied with inoculation. Tests at the Purdue and other Experiment Stations, and the U. 8. Departmen' of Agriculture, as well as farm ex- » perience bear out this conclusion. t Soil from thoroughly inoculated fields is satisfactory for the particut lar legume to be grown. However, the nodules should be abundant in • such soils and the farmers can only determine this condition during the . growing season. Small seeded legumes like alfalfa or sweet clove' I should be made sticky with a solution of one part sugar and two par's water. Less than one pint of the

sweetened water Is sufficient per bushel of seed. After thoroughly wetting and stiring the seed, about a quart of fine soil free from stones should be thoroughly mixed with ’ the sticky seed. Only a few min- ) utes for this operation tire requlri ed. and unless the seed is rather, wet, it may be stored or sowed at • once. ’ Soybeans need not be moistened) although they usually are made at ! least slightly damp. Too much water I causes the seed coats to slip or the drill to become gummed. If muddy ' water is used enough dry soybeans i should be adde to take all excess mud or moisture so that the seed > feels dry. While sunlight may kill bacteria, 1 average precautions gainst undue f' drying or heating will prevent kill--1 Ing of the bacteria which are neces sary for adding nitrogen to the soil ' Inoculation with present materials should be aded to take all excess date as possible and preferably at 1 the same time the seed is being sown. ’ A large acreage of the newer le- ‘ gurnes like alfalfa, sweet clover, soy beans and Korean clover will be sown this year. As the bacteria for these legumes are not in the average soil they should be supplied by inoculation. Otherwise plants will ; be handicapped, Growth limited , protein content reduced, and soil building power eliminated largely because of lack of nitrogen gather- ’ ing ability. Every inoculated legume r is a nitrogen factory, and no far--1 mer should miss this opportunity to ) set up a Muscle Shoals wherever be grows a legume. i j BOMB DAMAGE ) CHICAGO OFFICE - (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) son, who eventually were found - alive and unhurt in another secr tion of the city. • Neighbors told of hearing ■ screams immediately after the ex--1 plosion and le<l police and firemen t to tiearch the ruins until the fatnt ily was found.
