Th.* republicans in Adams county | filed for but three places, those of auditor, prosecutor and surveyor hut they evidently have a greater interest in the organization for tn most of the precincts there will be contests. The democratic primary will attract the attention of most of the Adams county voters since there i are spirited contests for a number of the offices as well as several for committeeman and in six of the eleven districts, for delegates to the state convention. — Frederick Schortemeier, former 1 secretary of state and four years'* ago the leading candidate for the ■ republican nomination until the ! deadlock came, has announced that ! be will be a candidate this year for lieutenant governor, which It is 1 1 presumed will please Senator Wat- < son and the other bosses who are , fixing the fences these days. ; , ' ' i We believe it is impossible to publish a good daily paper tor less!] than three dollars a year. That's I. less than a penny a day and surely its worth that for you to keep post- j ed on the events of your commun- ( icy. your state, your nation ano me ( world. It costs a lot of money to ( publish a newspaper and we ask your support that we may continue to keep you posted on things of ( interest here and every where. ( The democratic national commit- 1 j tee hopes to complete its Victory Drive for $1,500,000 with which to 1 pay all debts and establish a fund ' '■ c tor the coming campaign, by April) 13th. the birthday of Thomas Jeffer-|’ son. This county is still short 1 j J about one hundred dollars and ■ ( those who really hope for a national victory this year should- sub- ’ scribe to this fund. Put your name on the national roll of campaign ' contributors. It is being proposed that Mrs. 1 Vestal be chosen by acclamation to * serve out the unexpired term of her 1 husband in congress and democratic • leaders are being asked to join in < this.

will sit as an independent. Congress Is rather close and tamely submitting to the seating of a republican at this time may bring down the wrath of Speaker Garner again as it did when there was delay in contesting the last election when Mr. Vestal won by nine votes. Though the average person canInot understand just why we should I have to elect a successor to the I lute Albert Vestal, member of con- [ press, it appears it is mandatory. It will cost considerable unless it <an lie arranged for primary day : nd the one elected will serve only until next March. The new member it is also announced must be elected in the old eighth district. Tile new member will not effect the majority in congress and will probably not lie able to do much in the short time, to save the country. For many years the Waring Glove Company has been one of the leading institutions of this city and until the last year one of the busiest ones. They employed many people, made a high quality of goods and had much to do with the progress of the community. It is good news that the factory will reopen soon and with prospects of again assnm- : ing the activities of former days. Citizens here also are glad to learn that Mr. Waring will continue his residence here, though he expects to spend considerable time in travel, i He has been associated with many local enterprises and has taken a large part in affairs here. We wel- 1 come the new proprietors and as-[ sure them of the cooperation of! the best community in the w-orld. ! Thirty years ago the only roads in Indiana were township and county. Most of them were township roads. In the year 1990 the entire road expenditures in Indiana, including maintenance and construction. amounted to $.3,014,218. Fifteen years later it amounted to $11,795,403. That was before the | state highway system was estab- 1 lished in 1919. In the year 1930 the countv and township road maintenance and construction amounred to $21,501,158. or seven times what it was thirty years previously. But in 1930 the state was maintaining 5,000 miles of the main highways and for maintenance and construction the commission spent' $18,829,251. The total expenditures ■ for gll roads in 1930 was more than [ $40,300,000. In the year 1900 the schools of Indiana, not including the colleges, cost $6,470,000. In 1915 the disbursements for that purpose had increased to $15,564.000. while in 1930 the total had grown to $48,221,000. In other words, schools and roads that in 1900 cost Indiana $9,500,000. grew) in 1915 to $27,300,000 and in 19301 to $85,500,000.

vvhat . is UOMF r~iiv /ii r 4 A ARDEN? Spring Planting Time!

It is April, gentle reader, and t I the spring planting season consists 1 ! of April and May, the most desir- ] able period being from about 1 April 15 to May 15. If you have ; been dreaming of the wonderful 1 things you would do in the spring, 1 with trees and shrubs and vines I and flowers, it is high time to get i busy. I ( , Watch for These Shrubs in April I I Do you realize that there are I j several plants that will be in i bloom tlijs month? The Forsythia. or Golden Bell,, is the most notable’ 1 of these. Ever noticed that cheer-j ful shrub covered with glowing golden flowers, even before the ' leaves are out? And do you know : that it will grow in shady places, like the north side of a house, just about as well as in the sunlight? In fact, it seems to flower best in shaded places. Then there is the 1 less showy yellow-flowered Cornus Mas. or Cornelian cherry; it is the first of the dogwoods to bloom; and that little starry magnolia, ' which, of- course, can’t be grown everywhere — it can't stand the climate in some localities. The elm and the red maple and pussy willow and soft maple and alders all flower in April. Aside from flowers, we can’t i overlook the plants that wear I cheerful clothes in the winter, like 1 ’ the red and golden dogwoods. | They glow with increasing warmth of color as the sap starts to rise.

a scheme of planting which is rest-] ful,quiet and dignified throughout.! Don’t fill up your front lawn. un-[ less you dislike having people see i your house. A neat border or hedge along the front property line is all right. The main idea is to keep low plants like shrubs out of the center, and use trees only to frame the house. Big trees like elms or maples are used to soften the sharp lines of the architecture and also to give shade from the hot summer sun. Give a Thought to the Properties Shrubs are used next to the house walls to obtain transition between perpendicular house lines and the horizontal ground line. Curves are more pleasing than right angles in this instance. If you want a garden, try to lay it out where you will see it best from the part of the house where you spend the most time. Make the paths and features of interest such as seats, statues, sundials, etc., “line up" with the doors or windows that pierce the shell of your house. The result will be that your private living room will extend t othe boundary of your property instead of the house walls. If you pay “so much’’ per square foot for floor space in your house and then buy furniture to make it livable, why neglect the ground outside? Remember, the early bird fares best. It is spring planting time. You should plan before you plant and in order to have everything ready for the planting season begin on the plan now.
