On one hand they tell us from Washington that we have too much laml under cultivation and then they boast about the Hoover dam which will provide a million acres mire. Figure it out if you can. Evidently they are trying to get the price of gasoline down to the point where a fellow can enjoy his caj even during the present times. Any way it is the lowest it has been in years. Reports from over Indiana indicate a reduction of crime and it teally does look as though for some 56ftson there is less of every kind QCbanditry. It may be because of the activity of officials and then ttffttin it may be just a lull. Every we is hoping tiiat whatever the reason it will prove lasting. -With a "Long live Spain" as his putting message, Alfonso XIII, late piig of that country, sailed away to exile after having been driven from.

The more you think alwut the suggestion to utilize the windows Os the empty store buildings for Show purposes, the more you will be impressed with it. There are three empty rooms on Second street which could be used to great udvantage for this purpose, helping tjie looks of the main street and aßliiig every one interested. ’•Senator Arthur R.

Nature says your stomach needs pepsin needs it three limes a day at every meal and the stomach remedy that you need most of all is Dare's Mentha Petpsin. It will do you more good in two weeks! than all the old time relievers will! do in a lifetime. That’s just the reason that its sales in good drug stores all over America are enormous—that’s why the Holthouse Drug Co., Is selling dozieiis of Irottles every week.

They are put- . ting on a flower garden contest ' here. That's the proper spirit and - should causa much cooperation which will improve home surroundings and beautify the yards. Noth- ’ Ing helps a community more. You i don't need to be an expert. Just make your yard look as neat and attractive as you can. use plenty ot flowers, read the rules and follow them as best you can and you may win one of the prizes. Whether you do or not your efforts will be more than worth while. Indianapolis banks and trust companies have announced thut beginning May Ist, they will pay but three per cent per annum on saving accounts and time certificates and | it is expected that this will be urged in all banks by the state j banking department soon. At the I annual meeting of the state bank-' I ing association last autumn, a reso-1 lution favoring three per cent as the interest rate, was adopted but 1 this is the first step towards putt-; ing the action into effect. Banks must show net earnings and under the general changing conditions will probably have to adjust rules I to meet same. The.death of Claude Gregg, former mayor of Vincennes and a leader of southern Indiana business | and politics, removed one of the I most active men of middle age in I the state. But forty-four years old he had accumulated property worth a fortune, took a part in politics and assisted in many enterprises of benefit to the public. He was I the president of a company which operated some fifteen large canning plants in the state and was considering establishing a branch ■ here. Stricken with appoplexy he lived but a short time and the announcement of his death shocked thousands of friends over the state. He* had represented his district on -* - • . ■ the democratic state committee for years and was an ex-ccmmander of the Indiana American Legion. The Huntington Chamber of Commerce has been working for some time to secure the paving of state road No. 16 between that city and Markle and now have a promise for next year, the survey to be made within the next month. Perhaps if a little steam was shown here on I this matter this action might lie extended through to Decatur, but unless we get busy it may be delayed several years. Along the same line, attention is called to the fact that some action should be taken to induce the state to take over officially the road between here and Willshire. We know they have this in mind but of course action is taken from time to time on those roads where the most enthusiasm is shown. ♦- 1 j Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE • (U.R) * Polish Polish for oiled or varnished floors, or for linoleum, can be made front equal parts of kerosene, linseed oil, and turpentine.

UNIQUE TRADE TOUR PLANNED Coventry, Eng., April 16—(UP) — J A unique travelling British Industries Fair contained in a number of I amphibian automobles soon is to make a 12,000 miles trade promotion tour of Europe and Africa. The automobiles, or “boat-cars," now being built by the Riley Company here, are designed to cross the deepest rivers without the aid of a separate boat or raft and are propelled by canoe paddles. The cars are fitted witlt giant wheels and surrounded by a* detachable electron frame carrying four large lair hags on each side of the car. When inflated the air bags will enable the vehicles to cross any watei course at such a height as to prevent harm to the engine. They will be accompanied by a trailer and two motor-cleles. Over forty British manufacturers are cooperating in the expedition which headed by Captain Goeffry Maims the explorer is expected to be traveling for over a year. Two or three expert salesmen will assist Captain Malins in an endeavor to convince the people of the countries visited that British goods are best. Samples are being taken in

Radio Pictures are no longer content for their find to play straight comedy They have bought Rex Beach’s stery, “The Slander Girl," to give Edna May a semi-dramatic role, something on the order of Marie Dressier’s part in “Min and Bill." The heroine of this story is a former dance-hall girl who gets married, settles down and has a son. When the son is wayward, she and her husband work to save nim Young Antnony Veiller, son of Playwright Bayard, is busy preparing a script from the Beach story. R. K.

Her former contract provided she didn’t have to come on the set until 9 a. m. and could leave at 5. Dur- • ing the filming of “Rebound” she has to arrive at 7:30 and works cheerfully until the director says : stop. If Jgnmie Walker hadn’t gone back to New York he might have broken into the films. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has just signed Wilbur Mack, who bears a close resemblance to hizonner, to play i the Mayor of New York in a se- * quence in Marion Davies’ new I picture, “Five and Ten.” . . .

MAY FILM DICKENS. There is a new plan afoot to make a talkie version of Charles

s Davey Lee.

Dickens’ “Oliver Twu?t.” Bryan Foy, who made the first full-length vitaphone feature, isscou t i n g around for a suitable boy to take the part. Davey Lee was approached, but is not available. Foy’s ideal cast, I he says, is Richard Bennett, as Fagan; Noah

Beery, as E ll Sykes, and Pauline Frederick as Nancy Getting them, of course, is another thing. The Dickens storv is public property. I ast year, M. G. M. talked of filming it, but the project fell through. Foy would produce it independently. DID YOU KNOW. That, in 1921, Mary Astor taught classes in the drama in a Chicago school?
