If congress wishes to tax all foods, the round about way to place a tax bn canned foods is to include can openers. Red ink spreads smoothly but unfortunately it does not Indicate such a condition in the business it records. The man in business today has learned that there are ups and • downs in most any commercial line. J With spring only a few days away, the weather man predicts warm’ weather, so you can plan to I forget all about the winter days. «-.J v This man Adolph Hitler may ! have received more publicity and ■ had his picture in more papers, but sturdy old Von Hindenburg received the most votes. Mayor Jim Key of Atlanta seems to have walloped his critics and opponents in the recall election held in his city. Latest returns show him holding the balance of

power and he probably will be stronger now than ever. Such Ist the fata of politics. The lowa bank robbers and the Ohio kidnapers were given life sentences yesterday. They had it coming and the quick action of | the courts in dealing out justice is to be commended. These fellows don't deserve sympathy and on the other hand have coming all that tlie law can give them. Governor Roosevelt defeated! Governor "Alfalfa Bill” Murray in! North Dakota and will receives that, state's delegates to the national I democratic convention. This is the second state in which Governor Itoosevell has won tire presidential electors and it seems that he grows in popularity and power as the time approaches for the national convention. At any event, it would indicate that if another man is the democratic nominee that he has Roosevelt, to defeat. A survey was recently made to determine the reading habits of! several thousand newspaper read- ( ers. It revealed that out of every! ten women readers, eight read the store advertisements as regularly and with as much interest as news l of current event:; and other fop*!

iinenta, the efficient home manager keeps herself informed ot current offerings In the stores and learns whore she can buy to the best ad- ■ vantage. Adams county has shown good 1 reason why It objects to . the proposed dredging of the Wabash riv- ' er. Objections may be sumed up i i in the statement that benefits 1 would not equal the costs and i ■ right now it would be almost a 1 calamity to have such an assessment of costs against the farmers and county government. The changing of the channel, expert engineers state, will create othAr flood hazards, resulting in greater damages to abutting property, greater than those affecting the low lands now. The committee named to draft preliminary recommendations for the proposed special session of the legislature has reported. Several ways of reducing the tax on real eitate have been suggested, among others being the diverting of part of the state gasoline tax to the general fund. Retrenchment in i government expenditures and cur-j tailing improvements are also in- : eluded in the program and the big trouble seems to be able to get tiie legislators to agree on the program before Governor Lealie calls [the state body into session. Little relief can be obtained this year and it may be the opinion of many that since the legislature meets next January it would be best to draft a sensible, economical procram, work all details in advance i and then ask the legislature to pass i it next year. A newspaper is looked upon as ( a champion of the community, a ■ defender of all that is good and a medium always ready to further the best interests of the public and Ho convey such reasons or arguments for the good of local enterprise. Recently the injustice of the peddlers invading a community and taking from it business

rightfully lielonging to legitimate ideal eoncejns has been brought to the city council's attention. There ' are all kinds of complaints. Can-1 vassers and outsiders come here in rucks, sell bread, take photographs. solicit dry cleaning and! ’ laundry work and take money out ot town. The practice can only be stopped by the public refusing to patronize them. No city ordinance j can prevent a man from driving | j bis truck to Decatur and then canvassing the residence district. It lls up to loyal citizens to make I I their excursions unprotltabie. And i since a newspaper is engaged in I business, having advertising to sell and in the case of thia paper, job printing, the thought came to us as we heard the complaints, how many people, foolishly paid money for fly-by-night advertising schemes, i growled betause it didn't pay to! advertise or sent their money to out-of-town printers when the same j work could be obtained at home. I No successful business of today 1 solicits patronage soly on thei ground of home trade, but it does j j seem that every bit ot business •which the small towns can keep i at home, the better off all will be. 1 o ♦ ♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Ques'ions printed on Page Two.
