Congratulations Newcastle, you j earned your championship and' every basketball player and fan in the state concedes your right. Chase the pedlars out ot town I by refusing to patronize them. Keep that money at home, its as important as any thing you can do. Official announcement of candidates for the democratic primary ' are now appearing in this paper , and will continue until the date of j election. May 3rd Look them over. Northern Indiana is being flood , cd with counterfeit five and ten 1 dollar bills ami merchants are; warned to watch for them and to report to police officials' any es- ! forts by strangers to circulate! them. Canada lias a sales tax and like | it but tlic money thus raised is ' used to pay actual government ex-, pense.s ami not to add more. That's the trouble in this country. Every i time we increase taxes we figure' some way to spend that and more.! S Ami Winamac, the runners up, likewise deserves much credit. They were dark horses and they fought their way through to the finals and gave the Trogans a good contest right up to the finish. It may boa little harder to find ' work or to earn money but it can ; b< done for some are. so don't be ■ licked. Keep trying and smiling , and when you get a job bang on to it and do your best to make good Every.

one who does. It would seem wiser if we did something that made big business develop so that labor can be employed. Perhaps the electrocution ot a few hold-up gents and bandits will tend to discourage that business which has become so common in recent years. Tile supreme court ' has held the Hartzell act which I makes the death sentence man-1 datory when one is convicted of' murder while committing robbery I or arson, to be constitutional. As a result a Gary negro named Mack will die at the states prison July Ist. As long as Al Capone wants to stay in jail and pay lawyers to tile motions of one kind and another he has that right but it looks foolish for he knows his guilt and | should know that popular sentiment is very much against him. I: would take some technical error to free him and he would probably be rearrested before he left the court room. He will lose a year on his eleveq-ycar sentence if he isn't careful. — England has a new food tablet I made ot concentrated sugar, cdcoa powder, pea powder, beet powder,’ oily of lemon, and cocoa butter i which will satisfy as well as a meal and costs only a penny or two. | Just think how convenient that is : going to be once it is popularized. I We won't need stoves, dining room, gas. dishes, help or a lot ot other expense. We can eat in the car er at the game, have more time for pleasure and no one will have ; iiy- thing to do. Whither do we drift? Banks in the larger cities are beginning Io tuake loans they have been holding up for months. Since ! Feb. 17 there have been only two, failures of national hanks in the entire United States out of a total of 7.5 W banks. This is due to the Glass-Steagall bill that permits banks a wider range in the class cd securities they can use in securing new money. Had it been a law year ago. much of the financial! calamity that has befallen lire' lountry would have been averted. Failure of solvent banks will lie ' very few from now on. That is | one trouble we are about through , with. The one great big problem that we have before us is to put the farming business on its feet. I mil that is done business is not .."ilia to recover. * ♦ Political Calendar ♦ * FOR TREASURER Please announce that I am a 'candidate for the Democratic nomination tor County Treasurer, ' subject to the decision of the voters i at the primary, Tuesday, May 1. ; Your support will i»e appreciated.
