Spring certainly came in with 1 perfect weather, just the right 1 temperature, plenty of sunshine, 1 blue skies and air that had the ] : proper twang.

If we don’t get some during the next few weeks those scientists who have predicted a more severe drought than last year WANT TOLOOK YOUNG? The secret of keeping young is to feel young—to do this you must watch your liver and bowels —there’s no need of having a sallow complexion—dark rings tinder your eyes—pimples —a bilious look in your face—dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound as a substitute for calomel to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his nation is for years. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are gentle in their action yet always effective. They help bring about that natural buoyancy’ which al! should enjoy by' toiung up the liver and clearing the system of impurities.

Jasper went to the finals, a ! splendid team of little fellows who had plenty of supporters from the j | side lines. There are always folks willing ] to take something from an estate and it is not in the least surprising that dozens of people are trying to , establish a relationship with the late Miss Wendell of New York who left a two hundred million dol-j lar estate. Think of the pleasure she could have had distributing the! immense fortune in such a manner' as to do the greatest good. Seems j as though she would have enjoyed | seeing some of it producing results, i | The Muncie Bearcats fought their way through one of the most Interesting state basketball tournaments ever held in Indiana and came through with the state championship. It was a clean cut victory and the boys desvere due credit, but after all the teams al! over the : state have become so expert that • its almost a toss up and in the; recent contest there were numer-1 ous upsets. Tiie season is over for ■this year and the fans can cool down until next November and then start to figuring it all over again. Great game at that. I The Secretary of Commerce, Mr. i Lamont, admits there are more, than six million unemployed men ’ in this country and several nation-! al writers put that number as high ; las nine million. If that isn't ai ■ problem this nation never had one. ■ | Do you realize that is almost half the able bodied men of the United I States and do you stop to think what it means that so many families don’t know where the next : meal is coming from. Certainly [ there ought to be something done { and now for the longer this condition continues, the more serious will it become and the more difficult to correct.

HOOVER LANDS IN PORTO RICO THIS MORNING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Continental press for fear that the importance of the movement might be exaggerated. The nationalists are an ardent but small group without any important political following. Emelie Fagot, mayor of Ponce, delivered a welcoming address from the balcony of the city hall in which he praised President Hoover and Gov. Roosevelt Cor their work in rehabilitation and development of the island and made a plea for Porto Rican selfgovernment. “Honorable President, your arrival on our island this morning strengthens the ties of mutual Understanding and reciprocal affection between this territory and ihe leHuiienlai United States," Mavor Fagot said. “Suffering still from the disastrous effects of a hurricane which recently swept the island, toiling under the stress of unheard of poverty and the greatest financial crisis in our history, the jieoiiie of Porto Rico lays aside its sorrows to cordially welcome you to our shores, and sincerely thanks [ you for the honor of your visit. "At the beginning of your administration you wisely appoint J j as governor of Porto Rico a man iof high intellectual capacity and ad minis’rat ive ability whose generous devotion to his task has prepared the way to our final recovery. And during your incumbency as the national executive we have witnessed the approval and extension to Porto Rico of adequate federal legislation tending to solve our problems to au unprecedented extent.” Mayor Fagot then reiterated the plea for Porto Rican selfgovernment under the guidance of the Unitad States. BOARD REFUSES TO BUY WHEAT CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) "sertims calamity." Senator Borah, [ Repn.. Ida., an outspoken critic of ! the present farm relief act. said he j would have some comment to make today. “G.owers must recognize the responsibility that rests upon them." the board's announcement said.

"The federal farm board Is encouraged by reports from the principal wheat producing regions that growers are organizing to reduce acreage an d market cooperatively. These and efficient production are the surest means of permanent relief." A hint that some of the 200.000,000 bushels now held by the board’s grain stabilization corporation may be put back on the market was contained in the statement that the corporation "cannot indefinitely buy more than it sells, or indefinitely hold what it has bought." “It is too early now to set forth in detail what the sales policy of grain stabilization corporation will he in the new crop year except to say that stabilization supplies of wheat will-be handled in such away as to impose the minimum of burden upon domestic and world prices It should be stated now, however, that {he federal farm board will not autorize the grain stabilization corporation to make stabilization purchases from the 1931 wheat crop. There will be no alteration or change in the policy of the grain stabilization corporation with reference to the 1930 crop. "In the light of the foregoing facts growers must recognize the {lesponisibility that rests upon them. The Federal farm board is encouiaged by reports from the principal wheat producing regions that growers are organizing to reduce acreage and market cooperatively These and efficient productions ar& the surest means of permanent relief Some progress has been made but 1; is only a beginning. The movement must lie can led to all farmers in the regions. Spring planting of wheat is at hand. Let farmers iu that region heed the warning to reduce acreage and as planting time in other regions rolls around, farmers should do the same."

CLAf FIGURES SHOW CHINA AS DADDY OF POLO Field Museum Anthropologist Says Far East Originated Game Chicago, Mar. 23. — (U.PJ—China, birthplace of gunpowder, printing, silk, the telescope and fine crockery, also may claim to have pioneered in which has become one of the world's classic sports—polo, according to Dr. Berthold, curator of anthropology at Field Museum of Natural History and scholar on Oriental subjects. Although the game played in ancient china and engaged in bywomen probably differed sharply from the 20th century polo in scoring, number of chukkers and general rules, the exhibit at the Museum of four day figures of Chinese women on horseback swinging mallets tends to show the ancestry of the modern game. “The clay figures of polo play-, ers, which were buried with the i sport-loving noblemen in the Sth century of our era, are the earliest monuments to polo now extant, writes Dr. Lauter. “The first great polo "match on record was played in 709 A.D., at the imperial cotlrt of Ch’ang an. The players were Chinese princes and Tibetan am- [ bassadors, who had arrived from Lhasa to receive a daughter of the Chinese emperor, who was to many the king of Tibet. “Polo was first played about th* beginning of the Christian era by Iranian tribes of nomadic hoi-se-men inhabiting Central Asia, and from this center both the polo horses and the game was transmitted to Persia and China. "It is a singular fact that in China donkeys and mules as well as horses were trained for polo. The prince of Ting-siang under the T’ang dynasty taught his ladies to play polo on donkey-back." 0 Writes Family After 13 Years Udine, Mar. 23. tU.Pji-The family of Giuseppe Geiban of Marlborghetto, who was an Austrian soldier during the war, and is now an Italian subject, received a letter from his from Siberia after 13 years silence. Geiban was taken prisoner by the Russians. He addressed his letter to Marlborghetto, Tarvis, Austria, ignorant of what has happened to the map ot Europe since 19\8. 0 Miss Viola Dellinger of Willshire, Ohio was a business visitor here today.
