We have ‘ all | both kinds.” Years ago someone said "woman’s place is in the home,” but our ~ .advice is not to waste too much '' time- to find her there. The sun is shinging again ami every body feels better than when the clouds hover over us. Lets go out pnd make things hum. Several citizens are trimming the shade trees, which is the correct thing to do now, but care should be taken that the limbs are <■ not injured by the pruning. Auth- “ ; orities advise that the severed “ ,' Joints should be coated with a • , .water-proof substance, thus presenting the limbs from rotting. A ’ ’ tree is too valuable an asset, a " ’ beautiful fiving thing and should “ “be protected. •• • There is nothing wrong with this n - n . country except the pendulum is „ , .swinging back. We went up pretty “ ‘ 'high during the fifteen years from ’ J "1915 to 1930 and of course when • J •we reached the peak and parted • ' • to liack up we went in jumps that • < • hurt a lot of folks. The old pendu- i > ■ . lum must and will swing back as . , . far as it went and experts tell us I ; ; it has reached that point and that J ; ' now we will start moving forward ; ; • again, slower than before but safer. ■ > • If you have savings now is the time • t • > • • to invest rather than sell. ‘ ’ Governor Roosevelt lias "white- ■ • • washed" .Mayor Jimmy Walker and I I • ■ ■ • there is joy in Tammany hall and . . . corresponding bitterness and anger . in the camp of the city affair com-1 . , . mittee which has been pushing the I . charges. The governor found the ; evidence insuffcient and closed the ‘ t ; case which is perhaps just as well • • all around as a prolonged harangue • • in which there would be nothing . hut the exposition of a lot of dirty j , , linen. Its time for every one tc } J quit fighting ami to try to do bigJ ' ger and better things. ■ . Every body is asking the ques- . , tion, “What’s wrong with the counI try?” E. S. Gorrell, president of J the Stutz Motor Car Company of | J Indianapolis yesterday issued the

following answer to that. "If the Hawley-Smoot tariff rates wore modified, the Stutz plant could put 25% more men at work tomorrow morning." Thousands of manufacturers feel the same way. Then I why in the world doesn’t the administration correct this? Looks as though enough pressure ought to immediately be brought to bear to cause the tariff commission, the President or whoever has the authority to act now and not wait two or three years until a new congress r.ud new officials are chosen. It is wonderful to live, but how many of us appreciate that fact? What does it mean to you to live? To some to live means a life of ease, to be able to lie abed till noon, to breakfast in bed, have serv .'nts tu-wait on one, have others amuse one and just exist like a big pet cat on a pink silk cushion, with nothing to do but eat and sleep and seek amusement. To some that means to live but to most of us to live means to work —to get up early and hustle off to one’s cltosen task, to spend long hours at more or less interesting employment, to lose lone's self in some particular job that one finds interesting. To such a one time is always too short in which to accomplish the many interesting things one wants to do. Gene Stratton Porter’s wildflower woods at Limberlost will open to visitors again this year. Lovers of nature will find a variety of flowers and plants, some of them of foreign nature, spreading them- ■ selves to get the strong spring sunlight. Snow flowers, hypaticas, Dutchman’s britches and pussy willows are only a few of the flowers coming to life. Charm is added by the birds who have returned to their homeland and are busily engaged in building their homes and finding their mates. Last year approximately 10,000 people enjoyed the beauties of this nationally known shrine and preparations are I being made this year to accomo I date those who wish to picnic on the grounds. Annually several hundred Blackford county people visit this shrine and renew acquaintances with the scenes described in Gene Stratton Porter’s books. — Hartford City News. o r BIGF EATURES * | OF RADIO Wednesday’s Best Radio Features Copyright 1931 by United Press Central standard time throughout.

I think it was merely an oversight, as several of the club members know I was at the organization of the club, at the home of Mrs. Studabaker and 1 still have the badge she had painted for each of us and such a lovely dinner as she served and at each plate our napkin and bill of fare was held together with a clothes pin decorated with a little flower, which causes Mie to remiess a little and think how few are left, that were at that dinner 49 years ago. Hoping I am not asking too much , of a favor to liave you print this statement, 1 remain as always, with best regards. Jennie Furman. Marion. Ohio. Editor's note: Tne a’.iove incident is explained by the fact that the two charter members introduced were present at the dinner and the introduction was made that way, the president of the club presenting “two charter members who are present.” o • The Big Questions Editor Daily Democrat. I have recently read the articles in the Peoples Voice column written by Chas. Steele, and I wisn in a friendly manner, to call his attention to some grave errors that lie made, regarding Woman's Sulferage and the Prohibition. However 1 am not in favor of woman sulferage. yet at Ithat the blame that he attaches to this, for the cause of the Tlicrease of crime by the neglect of homes, surely expresses his limited knowledge or. present conditions in fact the greatest curse of the present age are reformers who are long on advice but short on information. I hope and trust that God will ahundantly bless the pioneers of our country for the sacrifices they made and the suffering they endured for prosperity neither am I casting reflection on them for the poor uucare<9 for abused and neglected mothers had to put up with as much as did the pioneer fathers and they liad to put up with, the fathers besides, yet with al) due respect for them I am only starling a plain unvarnished truth by saying there never was a time in history when our iMMr.es are being better cared for than at the present time. There never was a time when our children were better cared for than they are now. In fact I think too nany are really catered to too much for their own good, mothers advise mother’s love, mother's sincerity, mother's pure lives and mother's loyality to her family and God is one of the great outstanding factors that is making the world a fit place to nve. God only knows and understands the suffering of mothers for the perpetually of the human race and after mother has gone to the brink of tlie gfave to bring children into this world, and have spent agonizing nights at the bedside of a sick child, there is a love there and a sorrow -here that a man can never understand and after she has uncomplaningly suffered and made these sacrifices man in his low town brutal state of existance

LOSE FAT Safely and Quickly Kruschen Salts —(a perfect comI filiation of the six mineral salts your laxly should have to function properly) purify your blood of harmful acids, and aid the kidneys and bowels to throw off waste material —the continual formation of which is probably the cause of your fat. In this modern age of living, it’s impossible to get these salts from the fancy foods you eat —but don’t worry just as long as you have Kruschen Salts. Take a half teaspoon every morning before lireakfast In a glass of hot water—little by little that>ugly fat disappears, you'll feel 'better than ever before--years younger, more energy. You'll soon possess that enviable beauty, clear skin, sparkling eyes, superb figure which only perfect health can impart. An 85c bottle (lasts 4 weeks) st Dollhouse Drug Co., B. J. Smith Drug Co. and Cntshall's Cut Rate or any progressive druggist in America. Money Jitck. if Kruschen doesn’t convince you that it is Ihe safest, quickest, easiest way to lose fat. A Hartford woman writes. “I'll tell the world Kruschen Salts Is wonderful stuff to reduce.” An i- Ohio woman lost 10 pounds with one bottle,

would break down Die prohibition law and establish liquor stores for the sake of a tew cold dollars and would recompence tlie dear mothers of our country tor the suffering they have endured by dragging Jlbeir children down to a drunkards grave and a hopeless eternity. Say Mr. Steele if jwlitics has become so corrupted that it has a tendency to break down motherly love men bad ought, to be ashamed to, cull themselves the head of the family. The state of existing conditions regarding prohibition is not cauzng disrespect for officers, let man do his part in caring for children and I will guarantee you that women will neither woman's sufferage or birth control want.
