They must do so between now and April 2nd or their names will not appear on the ballots. The primary will be held May 3rd. Tomorrow is “Hoover day” and Governor Leslie has asked citizens of Indiana to assist in the national effort to restore confidence in business and banking. Greater faith in our institutions is the plea ot the proclamation. We favor the death penalty for kidnap, rs but doubt it will prove a cure. It hasn't stopped murder nor will it stop other crimes. Looks as though we would have to hunt up some form of punishment which makes the criminal live but suffer. Those who are still driving their ears witli 1931 license plates are taking foolish chances for the law is direct and plain and any officer can cause you to pay a fine, after which you still have to get your new license. Stay off the road or get the new 1932 plates. The democrats of the fourth congressional district will gather here Monday afternoon and evening. March 14th at which time will he held a pow wow tliat will include most of the state candidates and other leaders from over the state. Tickets are one dollar and worth it and those who expect to enjoy this big affair should get theirs now. The light, power and water plants in Decatur show a 625.354.72 earning for last year. The report published last evening is one that we may all feel justly proud of for it is important that these utilities show an earning. The rates h-.re are reasonable and below those in most cities of this size and we should all appreciate the efforts neceasary*to accomplish such results as shown in the report. Albert Vestal will retire from congress, lie announces and will return to the practise of law at Anderson. The representative is shrewd and reads the hand writing on the wall. His new district includes part of Marion county, all of Madison and Hancock counties, making c rather tough scrap any time and this year hopelessly democratic. In the meantime it has been definitely dccidea to drop the contest as between he and Ball over the ninevote victory, so Albdrl can retire in peace at the eud of this session.

The high school sectional tournameats are on in Indiana this week and over seven hundred teams representing as many communities I- are fighting for honors. Its a great . old game tyid because it extends r. into every township and district 1 where there is a high school, the interest Is really state wide. To2 ■ night there will be sixty-tour win--11 ning teams and these will meet in g regional tournaments the 12th. 5 Then on the 18th and 19th the six6 teen teams which have stood the test, will meet at the cow barns at the State Fair grounds to decide the state championship. Such a program naturally creates real interest. especially among the students of the schools. Beginning Monday an effort is to he made all over the country to start the wheels of progress, genI eral busines and a betterment of ’general conditions, a worthy cause r ' that we should all join with enthusiasm. In this county Paul Graham i I is chairifian of the Citizens Recon- I struction Reorganization and the program will include whatever the . people hep- desire. In some local- . ities special entertainnments with , sale attractions are being used . while in others the matter is beI ing discussed in open forums. The .'idea is to,do that which is deemed I best in each locality. After all its lour problem and we must solve it. i I We, urge every one to assist Mr. jGraliani in every way possible on ~ this matter which is of such vital I importance to each. , All details of the contracts be- , tween the Great Lakes Sugar Company and the bond Jiolders of the Holland-St. Louis Company, as regards the Decatur plant have been agreed upon and while this has not not been officially signed there is r ! no doubt it will be as soon as the meeting can be arranged. W. F. r Schmidt in charge of the field work r r is proceeding with his plans and the work of gathering up the contracts will begin in a very few days l now. The delay is regretted but been unavoidable as there are ruahv derails both as to the Iwind holders and the courts hut it is bec , lieved that every thing lias been I satisfactorily completed now. The big mill will operate, we are sure, so that’s that and its worth while I t this year when every community needs a little pep to cheer them s x along the way. o • — « Modern Etiquette -11 —by— ROBERTA LEE 1 I Q.

Are You Giving Your Doctor a Square Deaf A recent checking of records revealed that a family in thi> vicinity called seven different physicians and not a single one of these physicians ever received pay for his service. f urther investigation brings out the fact that this is a common practice with a large number of familiesPhysicians have4org tolerated this situation, and now steps are being taken to remedy it in such a manner as to not work a hardship upon the honest man or woman. People Only Fool Themselves Whe They Resort to Such Practice The tactics of going from doctor to doctor, moving from town «” town, county or state, leaving unpaid doctor bills behind can only bc remedied by adopting a system such as the merchants use, of exchanging names cf those who indulge in such practice.
