HOFFMAN: Death has called another stalwart citizen of Adams county from the scenes of earthly activities and we mourn the loss of an excellent official, fine citizen and kind neighbor. John G. Hoffman, native of , preble township, where he was ■ born sixty-six years ago, died early yesterday, following a short illness •with pneumonia. He was industrious and successful. As a farmer he was recognized as one of the best and in addition to his work there he found time for other business affairs. He served as a member of the board of directors of the Farmers State Bank of Preble, agent and appraiser for the Preble Township Fire Insurance Company and active in all matters of interest to his township and county. Five years ago Mr. Hoffman was elected county commissioner and re-elected three years later. In - thaX capacity he served honestly - and always with the best interests of liis consituency in mind. He was a friend to every one and his advice and council were sought by hundreds of people who had faith in his integrity and judgment. We extend our sympathies to*Tlie family with the assurance that we -shall always remember his faithfulness to the tasks assigned him/’ He was a leader in all things in which he became interested. Keep your eye on Owen D. Young while trying to figure out the proper candidate for president next year. Mr. Young is a man. of many accomplishments, has iniitiative ' and is believed by many to be just the proper man to bring this conn,z J.ry out of the chaos of the past ‘ "Tear or two. When the time comes, that man who will appeal to the average person as the one who can help solve the numerous and serious economic problems, will be tlie one to whom the voters will turn by the million and Mr. Young may be that man. He is not seeking the presidency but could not and would not run from it. His ex—■pressions on every big question are sound and have the tone of a statesm rnan’s utterances. Republican editors will entertain “ President Hoover at Indianapolis, June 15th, and his message will be of interest every where. He has - much to explain and while the public doubts his ability to do it satisfactorily, ‘they will listen with rapt attention to his explanations -of the whys and wherefores of the T present depression. Ami then about “ that time the democratic editors in "" a meeting at Gary will listen to • Governor Roosevelt of New York, “ Senator J. Ham Lewis of Illinois - and other'distinguished statesmen who will readily reply to.the president's explanations. This year will bo largely devoted in getting ready for next year s campaign. Earl Peters, democratic state chairman, is urging that meetings be held in each county of the state on April 13th, the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson, ” founder of tlie party. Democrats " of Jay county are planning a ban- ’ quet and club meeting with Hon. Paul McNutt of Bloomington and

Mr. Peters as speakers and It is probable that democrats from Adams county will participate in that event. Tickets are one dollar and t a supply has been received at this r office which may b« obtained by r - those desiring them. As there will it be a sell-out we advise you to get I" them quickly. r __________ The price of wheat went crasho • Ing downward yesterday and didn't 0 stop until eleven cents had been dropped off per bushel. There 5 ought to be a bottom some where ' [J but on farm products it doesn't j seem so. In the meantime the only ; remedy the farm board has to offer | is less acreage. Looks as .though [ Mr. Young's suggestion to sell the i surplus abroad at any price obtainable would be better for every one. Mr. Mellon and others at Wash- ' ington are somewhat alarmed over! the fact that income taxes have dropped about in half so far this year. What did they expect? The only person we have heard of be-I i ing optimistic is our own Senator , Jim Watson who insists that every j thing is alright. That's easier to do when you are' on the government pay roll for a thousand a i month. i The crowd here for gift day last Saturday was one of the largest in a long time, indicating the advantages of doing special things to at-1 tract trade. Every merchant did a good business which more than repaid him for the effort. The next thing on the program ought to be a Dollar Day shortly after Easter. The Muncie Bearcats declare they will win the state tournament again next year, but don't bet too i much on that tip. We have heard [ of teams getting chesty in advance I and then never getting out of the county tourney. Optimism is fine, but dangerous. ________ If you have some thing to sell, advertise it. The public is watching for your announcements and 1 will trade where they are invited <£> get started. BIG FEATURES OF RADIO Tuesday's 5 Best Radio Features Copyright 1931 by UP. All CST.

COWBOYS FLIGHT GETS MEMORIAL Portland, Ore., Mar. 24. —<U.R>— On October 22. 1929, the world was surprised to learn that a Montana cowbody, Urban F. Diteman. without previous announcement, liad hopped from Harbor Grace, N. F„ on a non-stop airplane flight to Ireland. . Twenty-four hours later the world knew that the silence of the North Atlantic had claimed another victim. / On October 24, 1929, the Oregon ian here carried a cartoon by E. S. (Tige) Reynolds, entitled “Where Dreams are Born." That cartoon has been reproduced in stone and set in the Diteman family plot in the Yakima, Wash., cemetery. The cartoon showed a cowboy with bis reined horse on the brink of a vast expanse over which he is looking, in the sky, a mirage, appear an airplane and an old sailing vessel — Diteman named his plane the "Golden Hind” after tb« ship of Sir Frances Drake. Tlie cartoon depicted the restless, conquering spirit of youth throughout the ages, and aroused much favorable comment. The memorial monument was created on the order of Urban F. Diteman. Sr., of Portland. ♦- —— ♦ Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE 4— (U.K) ♦ Q. Is it proper for an engaged girl to send announcements to the newspaper? A.

K. Riley of the Department of

Entomology ol the Purdue Uuivetsity Agricultural Experiment Sta tion. Cattle should be examined at regular interval* during the next [two months, since at this time of I the year, the warbles will be found in swellings on the backs of infested animals, where they can easiiv be destroyed. In early spring the maggots issue from the swellings, drop to the ground and transform to puparia and later into adult flies. They, in turn deposit eggs on the hairs of the legs and body, the eggs soon hatch and the maggots burrow into the skin, migrating through the body tissues to the gullet and finally to the fleah on the back, where they complete their development In the prominent swellings, which appear first during December and January. Animals are often extremely annoyed and frightened by the flies while the eggs are being laid and there is considerable irritation by the maggots in the body causing reduced milk flow, decrease in rate of growth, lowered vitality, damaged carcasses and hides. Warbles may be removed by squeezing the swellings witli the hands but when the herd is large this process is tedious and impractical since they cannot be removed until well grown, necessitating frequent treatments. The use of an [ointment prepared by mixing one 1 part of iodofrom with five parts of i vaseline has given excellent results ! and treatment is quite simple. A i small amount of the ointment about ithe size of a pea is rubbed into tne center of each lump - soon as it Becomes recognizable. ho material enters the small hole .n the skiu through which the warb.e breathes and the warble is killed and gradually absorbed. A second examination and treatment should be mads two or three weeks later to destroy any remaining warbles. A thorough community campaign against this destructive animal pest gives decidedly beneficial results in preventing losses. ■ o ; 4 4 Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE ♦ — (U.R) * Blankets After washing and drying blankets, beat the mwith an ordinary carpet beater to make the wool light and soft.

Should The Children Eat It? % PARENTS, particularly mothers, are paying a lot of attention to children’s diet these days. For it is far more economical and pleasant to keep a child well by feeding him correctly than by nursing and doctoring him back to health: EHL"**’ Os course the doctor should be consulted regarding what a child should eat and what he should not eat. But do you realize that the leading manufacturers of food now seek the advice and approval of the leading nutritional authorities in the country, relative to the claims they make for their products in their advertising? In other words, food advertisements are reliable sources of information regarding diet. They are based upon the results of the latest approved scientific discoveries about vitamins, minerals and roughage, in relation to vigorous bodies, clear complexions, sound teeth and properly regulated systems. So read these advertisements carefully. Consult your doctor about them. Very often the advertiser invites you to do this because he has asked authorities, whom your doctor respects, about those advertisements first. Decatur Daily Democrat
