"Troubles ahead for the democrat*?. warbles Everett C. Watkins, «MMF a Washington correspondent. Don’t supple there is a thing bothering the republicans, is there Watty? - The President has decided to keep his hands off the farm problem and now if the rest of them will use the same tactics and permit Hie farmers to look after themselves, they will probably get farther. - —- Governors from over the United States will meet in French IJck in June and already about forty have accepted the invitation. That will give us all a good chance to look them over and decide on the style and niodel best suited to tte needs of uoosierdom. i■ i ■ , There are many things to think about for Easter and among them is what will you wear. Decatur Stores can fit you out in the latest style and at the most moderate prices in years. Look the advertisements over this week and buy from those who invite you. That's always the safest place. Is your subscription paid up? It will soon be necessary to drop those who haven’t renewed. The government is requiring that this be done and that the expiration dates be printed on the wrapper. We are planning to comply with the order and hope every reader will be paid in advance. Just so we won’t forget all about politics, Vermont is electing a member of the United States sen«te today. Os course its only a form they go through there but the .wet and dry issue and some oth?r Jhings have been discussed during th» campaign. A'strike of coal miners is threat eueff, giving the depression even greater similarity to the panics of .the past. It has been several years •since this country went through a genuine strike but it would seem ■both sides could profit from a glance at recent records in England. Looks very much to us like a lot of folks want the Schcimann ” "bridge and a lot of them don't, so it will again be up to the county * aiyt,state officials. We hope the * mailer can be adjusted to the satia- » faction of all, but just how?

that's another matter we couldn't decide if we wanted to. The Indiana Democratic Editorial Association will hold their midsummer meeting in Gary, June 25th to 27th and it Is needless to say it will be a great time. This crowd I always enjoys itself and with the ] numerous facilities in that part of! the state, the program will be one ■ worth listening to. Fred Burke Is back in St. Joseph. Michigan, where he killed a policeman and got away to keep up his murderous career. He will be closely guarded and his killing spree is probably at an end. There j should be no delay in trying, con-j victing and sending him to hard work in prison. Hope he has to sweat fifty years. That will be more punishment to him than death in the chair. A week from today Chicago goes to the polls to elect a mayor. Will it be Bill Thompson again or will they have the judgment to choose Cermak? We believe they will for people are beginning to realize that it takes more than talk to operate a big city or any other unit of government. In comparison to the recent primary, the election has been quiet but don't imagine there will be any lack of activity next Tuesday. The claim is made that 800,000 citizens of Chicago do not pay a cent of taxes on their automobiles. Do you wonder how they get away with it? Well, they simply don't turn them in and the officers permit them to overlook such insignificant personal property. And so they are fighting over a bill on the state legislature which provides that to get your license for a car, the owner must show a receipt for his personal taxes. Looks like they needed something of that kind. Washington writers say there is evidence that Mr. Hoover would like to quietly lay Mr. Curtis, his vice-president on the shelf but the old Indian is not built that way and the President may find some ugly times ahead if he insists. Rumor has it that Mr. Hoover's real purpose to the Carribean Seas was to invite Teddy Roosevelt to join him on the ticket, but there are millions who don't feel that would strengthen the ticket sufficiently to make the unemployed forget the past two or three years. _____ o ♦ ♦ Lessons In English * . * Words often misused: Do not say "The churches had united together" omit "together”.

FILE SUIT FOR DISSOLUTION OF SUGAR TRUST (CONTINUED FROMJ’AGE ONE) their competitive activities, and then conspired to keep cane prices uniformly higher than the price of beet sugar. Any reduction in price which might follow government success in this action would affect directly every person in this country, and would be a tremendous item of saving for large users of sugar such as bakers, confectioners, etc. The suit charges that the 50 firms and individuals obtain unrefined sugar “at abnormally low prices,” but maintain a high scale of prices for the refined product, "and the growers and producers of raw sugar have received no benefit from the increased prices exacted.” The public as a result, the complaint goes on, has been charged “large sums in excess of what It otherwise would have paid.” The sugar institute was organized in 1928 as a “trade association" ostensibly similar to many others that have sprung up in recent years, frequently ’with the advice and consent of the Federal trade

YOUR STANDARD OF LIVING FOR all we know, some Mongolian landowner, living miserably in a smoky felt tent, may be the richest man in the w0r1d.... For standards of living arc not based merely on wealth. They are based rather on the way people use wealth. The reason why American standards arc considered highest in the world is because the great majority of Americans have at their command all the things necessary to a civilized and cultured mode of living. Any housewife in America, even of most moder-, ate means, can draw upon the resources of all the world for her own private use! \ ■ You may study and enjoy outright at very small expense, music... drama... art in all its forms. You may review the smartest styles each day as they appear in the pages of newspapers. You may select household furnishings, modern conveniences, heatunits: refrigeration, food in luxurious and endless variety, cosmetics, dress-goods, automobiles, anything in fact that is commonly looked upon as part of the American scene ... you may select these things leisusely and conveniently by merely studying the advertisements as they appear each day!

Her father, a wealthy financier, shortly afterwards is complete-1 ly ruined in the stock crash and dies as a result of the shock. "Bonnie and her brother, now penniless, seek employment. Bonule obtains a position with a city newspaper. while her brother becomes a member of a notorious bootleg ring.; A series of gangland murders rock the city and Bonnie Is assigned to unearth the mysteries. How she fulfills her mission involves endless thrills and hardships. “A love angle to the story centers about Bonnie and Bob Townsend (Lester Vail). Joan's new male lead.
