Naw York Charter Member The Indiana League of Horae Dailies Jim Donohue of New York, whose wife is the heir to the Woolworth millions, committed suicide, but perhaps his wilt's fortune was not the reason. Well, we had a little frost but experts tell us that the clouds saved the crops. We seem to be over this first cool spell of spring for predictions are slightly warmer the next few days. The total receipts for the basketball tournaments held in Indiana last month were $178,725. No wonder a lot of fellows are trying to get control of such a business as that. Its more than most business concerns netted last month. Charley Schwab says the next ' ten years will be wonderful but its well to remember that Charley is the world’s greatest optimist. Os course they will be for any ten years are wonderful and we believe with him that after we get over the present topsy turvey condition we will have seme excellent times. An investigation among the six thousand policemen in Chicago may uncover some surprises. The officers seem to have been in such comfortable circumstances that they could well afford to not draw any salaries. Now it is being charged that they have been drawing six million dollars a year from Capone. Divide that by 6.000 and you can see that the salaries were less than insignificant. Next week is one for the annual observation of those things of particular interest to the boys of the community and the local Rotary Club has worked out a program of interest. There will be something different for every day and the cooperation of every citizen is requested that the lads may know we are interested in them, are back ol them and will be proud of every success they make in life. Our congratulations to the Ladies Shakespeare Club now entering. their fiftieth year of existence. The | members during the half century 1 have derived much pleasure and many benefits from their sessions and their study. The club was founded in 1882 and was one of the * first of its kind in Indiana. The toniing year should be the most

The new state police force to go on about May Ist are to be particularly instructed to be polite, which after all is altout the most Important qualification for police service. The old time officer thought he had to be gruff and important but the modern polite way of giving information is much better and that should be the desire of every" policeman, local as well as v state. Blackford county, with, fortythree other northern Indiana counties, have contributed 5,422 bags of seed corn containing one and two bushels of shelled corn, to the drouth-ridden counties in southern Indiana, the state farm bureau has announced. The corn will plant mere than 40,000 acres, but it is announced something like 150 bags are yet needed to supply the needs. The gift of seed corn was a fine expression of sympathy and the farm bureau is hopeful of securing the needed 150 bags. — Hartford City News. A local realtor informs us that he has recently sold two Decatur properties to ex-service men who used their bonus for this purpose. Wise boys. They realize they can buy more real estate for their money right now than any thing else. Its the best investment we know of, better than bonds for you must pay a premium for them, better than stocks for they, fluctuate? better than any thing for you get them below their real value. These veterans will have something to show for their bonus long after a lot of the boys have disapated the funds which are bound to slip away unless invested. A school superintendent who is responsible for a couple of hundred thousand children, after experimenting largely with ‘‘intelligence tests,” concludes that they are not much good. They show the quick minds but the race is not always to the swift. They discredit slow minds, which often win in the long run. He tells of a test in a technical high school in which the “brightest boy in the class" got the exceptional I. Q. rating of 145 and the “dullest boy” got 70. A test in geometry gave them both the same grade, 75. The scholar who can give a quick answer makes a good impression. and may not live up to it. The one who grasps a subject quickly may not retain what he has learned. Edison, and many another genius, seemed “dumb" in school. The quick thinkers may think wrongly. The slow thinkers, who I take their time in arriving at a conclusion, are more likely to Ire correct about it when they arrive. » i
