vitlea for the collection by the heirs of the victim of SIO,OOO from the city, township and county in which the act is committed. While a lot of folks who might take part in such an affair wouldn't care about that, it may stop some of the would-be participants. Leading democrats are gathering In Washington for the meeting of the national committee on Wednesday and a dozen booms for the presidency are being quietly launched at this time. It will be one of the most interesting events in a long time it Is predicted. Lew G. Elllngham of Fort Wayne is repre-1 sen ting Mr. Greathouse, Indiana national committeeman at the I session. Why not the bonus money? The I men who got this allowance went to war, most of those who draw it at this time, need it badly, it will be spent and will help considerably to restoring better times. Os course it will be a little hard on the income tax payers but after all they are the ones that can pay. The man who makes a million a year is a poor sport if he objects to dishing out a few thousand to the government. After all the fuss about the drought relief and what it would mean, Secretary Hyde now holds that farmers in dire distress must prove it and then give ample security before he cun borrow from the twenty nrillion-dollar loan. There's an arrangement that looks helpless and hopeless for the average victim of the drought who most needs aid probably can't muster much security. After all these relief propositions seem to be best handled by the Red Cross. Every community which prospers must have strong financial institutions to assist and nothing is much ■ more important in the growth of a locality. Decatur and Adams county has always had these but the unusual conditions of the past year or two has forced many changes every where. The purchase of the assets of the People's Loan & Trust Company by the Old Adams County Bank, was no doubt wise and proper, this being agreed to by many who regret the passing of the Trust Company, which with its predecessor, had a prominent part in affairs here for seventeen years. The present change will give this community two very strong banks, amply able to care fore the financial needs of the locality aud to grow and prosper with Decatur and Adams county. We bespeak the loyal confidence and support of the people for the local banks for they deserve it. We believe the atmosphere here has cleared and that we will all profit by the wisdom disclosed in concluding the deal which was consumated Saturday. o —• rCHURCH REVIVALS Contributed The revival meetings opened at the Calvary Evangelical church. Sunday night, and a large audience was present to hear the first sermon. Rev. D. R. Heil, of the Van Wert. Ohio, circuit, is the evangelist, and he preached upon "The Power of God." In presenting his subject. Rev. Heil told bow man may obstruct this power and how he may release this power for his own good and I for the glory of God. Rev. Heil will preach each night this week including Saturday night. Services will open at 7:30 o’clock, sun time. 0 The revival services at the Church of God closed last evening. The pastor Rev. Alva Bragg deliver ed an inspiring message Sunday j morning on the subject of “Makin? 1 your Christian Experience Pay' | and closed the series of meetings with a sermon on "ThO Last Summons.” An appeal to the sinner with an exhortation to prepare for the final judgment was made by the pastor. The local church considers this > one of the most successful revivals held for many years. Q 'eXZEMA — All kinds of skin trouble Try a box of B B OINT- ‘ MENT.

Archbold that ,a certified seed list is now available in his office to anyone who wishes the list. This list includes the names and addresses of grow ers and the amount of certified seed each grower has for sale. Certified seed is seed of true origin, true to variety, of excellent purity and high quality. All these qualities are certified by experts from Purdue who examine the grain in the field, check the manner in which it is stored and examine the seed for purity, that is, free from weed seed and inert material. These experts also

ers. and saw the tide of bitterness rise and fall as ideas and ideals clashed. His whole life had been spent in the minority, but so cleanly did he fight that those of all factions were his friends. Cooper was identified with the elder LaFollette, and was the leader of the LaFollette insurgent group in the house. However, his service In congress antedated that of the late senator from Wisconsin. He had served continuously from 1893 except for one lapse, 1918-1920, after the war. He voted against declaration of war. During his early days he fought against Speaker Tom Reed's rigid rule of the house, and he was one of the leaders in the successful 1910 fight against Speaker Cannon. Years later, he took up the fight to liberalize the rules still further and with a little band of insurgents held up organization of the house for a month in 1923. He was the candidate for speaker of a group which held the balance of power. They stood firm until finally they won their way in a coalition with democrats. The most dramatic episode of Cooper's colorful career 1 was when he stood before the Cleveland republican convention in 1924 and threw out the Lafollette challenge to the party. Cooper was born on September 8, 1850, in Walworth county, Wis. He was district attorney of Racine county from 1880 to 1886, served later in the state senate and was elected to the 53rd congress in 1892.

Bird’s-Eye View Os Legislature From Dick’s Desk (Written by Dick Heller, chief clerk of the House)

A week from tonight the seventyseventh Indiana General Assembly will pass into history. What that bodv does in the next week will be its greatest record, in other words the big problems stili lemain in the hands of the two houses. The income tax question remains unsolved. There is a sharp division of opinion as to the rates of income tax which may cause both the personal and corporation tax plans to died without becoming laws. Both tax bills, which were Demo cratic platform pledges passed the House several weeks ago, but were muffled around in the senate until finally that body managed to pass the personal income tax measure in a greatly different form and now it is held by the House without concurrence to Senate amendments, "it is believed that the last few days will see the naming of a conference committees to attempt a final solution. The House started discussion of the budget bill today. At 11 o'olock the lower division of the Assembly dissolved itself into a committee of the whole to discuss the budget bill which was introduced three weeks ago. It is believed that the budget bill will be ready to go to the Senate by the middle of the week. to date there has loen no solution of the reapportio. ment of Indiana's congressional districts. The House submitted a plan some time ago, which appeared likely to pass, only t obe stopped by petty politicians in the Senate. One thing is decidedly outstanding in the General Asssembly and that is that every bit of important legislation, which fails to pass, will die in the Republican Senate. House Democrats held party lines together for weeks and managed to send the legislation to the Senate. The last week rush will see many bills become acts and it also will see many bills die because of the state's law making it necessary to adjourn sine die Monday. Night sessions are scheduled tor every night this week and leaders of both houses will make frantic efforts to clear up the records as near as possible. The Lake county salary bill which places officials of that county on a salary basis instead of a fee basis is ready to go to the Governor. The bill introduced and passed a few days ago giving Fort Wayne control of the river water within a radius of 25 miles was recalled last Saturday from the Governor and an amendment was aded restricting Fort Wayne's power to condemn to within the corporate limits of that city. In other words the Fort Wayne city council will have no jurisdiction over refuge going into the river in Decatur. The Bert Evans resolution which passed the house several days ago and w’hich shows some glaring facts about the Richard Lieber administration of the conservation department was taken to the Senate las’.

Friday and immediately hurried in a committee. Evans has uncovered many truths about the conservation department which Lieber fears to I have made public and with the 'splendid co-operation of Lieutenant Governor Bush it seems jirobable that the conservation department will continue to spend the money of the people the way Lieber sees fit Evans has worked for two years gathering facts concerning the department and many open-minded members of both houses of the Assembly did not like the way the resolution was hidden away in the Senate. The three Watson school book bills are being worked on in the i senate. If passed the bills will give local school officials the right to select their own books. Book publishing companies are alleged to have spent much money trying to kill the bills along the route but so far they have been unable to do so. The bill codifying the drainage laws of the senate also is ready for passage jn the senate after going successfully through a stormy battle in the House. Small loan companies of the state have managed to prevent passage of a bill limiting their rate of interest, but the bill is still alive and has a chance to pass. Tired weary law make r s are anxious for the end to come and the first days of wine and dine have passed into history and the members of both bodies are battling away to save their own legislation. The end will come after midnight next Monday night and after that will come the exact reeapitulatfon of what has been done. o Card of Thanks We wish in this manner to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to tho neighbors ana friends to those who sent floral offerings the choir for its music, the minister for his consoling words.
