Time to get out in the garden, rake the lawn, sow seed and in general enjoy the life out-doors and the thrill of watching nature unfold its charm. Andy just about hit the nail on * the head when he said, “It’s too bad that hard times had to come right in the middle of the depression." Three weeks from tonight and the candidates can gather at newspaper offices, wait the election re-1 turns and either celebrate victory or congratulate the ones who piled up tile biggest vote. Let's repeal the daylight saving time ordinance or operate on) standard time tills year. The court I bouse clock will not be turned up I and we believe it will be better ■ all the way around to cut out tinkering with the clock this year. Maryland democracy went over ! the top in meeting its quota of the I Victory fund. Governor Albert | Ritchie handed John W. Davis, i the national treasurer, a check for i 335,00 V and the job was completed. Still some people contend that victory for the democrats is not in sighi. Second street may not have the skyscrapers or width, bul it will give a Michigan boulevard or Fifth i avenue appearance after all the poles and electric light wires arc i removed. It will be a great improvement, enhancing the-, attrac I livent-ss of the up-town district | and at the same time increasing i Ibe efficiency of the electric sys- i tern. !: i When it became universal to drive automobiles more than 10 | miles an hour on highways, the , state legislature repealed the law 'inriting speed. It did not require j . vote on the question. In Deea-l-lor. prartirally every merchant 1 and most of the citizens favor re- i peal of the daylight saving ordin- i anee and the easiest and quickest » way out is to repeal It. There's | plenty of time for play these days, i Bids are to be~received April 15 *

for building a new poetottice at I Winchester, The estimate of cost 1 or appropriation 1» $93,000. Now Winchester Is smaller than Decs-! • tur and our building cost less than! $50,000. If the government wantai • lo practice economy it should lop HT several thousand from these building appropriations. Decatur's I l poetoffice is a beauty, modern I and substantial and plenty good | j for a rily tills size or larger. One thing taxpayers in Adams i county notice this year Is the fact ! that taxes are lower this spring 1 than any time In several years. Unless von have added to your | personal property holdings or purchased real estate your taxes j | are less tills year. More Ilian i $150,000 was cut from the tax bill in this county ami tile average i1 levy in the county was reduced j fiom $2.52 to $2.12 on the hundred dollars. Figure is out yourself, j Members of his congregation and Decatur as a whole welcomes 1 the return of tile IU-v. 1!. H. j Fragklin us pastor of the First j Methodist church of this cit\ ! Rev. Franklin lias lieen here only j two years and in that time lie and | liis excellent family have become endeared to hundreds. He is a friendly neighbor, a fine citizen : a sincere and efficient i«slor and | I Decatur will lie glad to have him I !tor at least another year.

Regardleas if tilt- baby is returned, deadlr (or alive the kidnapers will be i ! found out some day and then they , j j will be made to pay for their j d dastardly act. It seems that thoja whole world, united In the effort j t to get the baby, could at least cope i t with a couple of criminals and j | eventually there w ill lie a slip up £ j which will Siring about the appro j i liension of the kidnapers. We hope ! r that soon the babv will lie return-! 1 ( ed. Apparently to save the country ilfoni serious financial trouble and Sk a means to reduce the budget, President Hoover is willing that his salary lie cut to one dollar a year. Americans do not begrudge the president his $75,0'" 1 salary. : He earns it and even in normal times docs not save a whole lot. Hoover may have the. rigid attitude and ills willingness to serve | without pay may bring congress to a realization that it should do •something towards pruning the i appropriations. With a budget of more than four billion dollars, the j $75,000 item would he small, com-; pared to the many places where ‘ money could be saved. Tin- world will accept Von Hin J bentmrg'.s victory over Adolf Hitler as another demonstration of Germany's stability and loyalty to] sound and able leadership. Hin-1 denberg obtained more than fifty! per cent of the votes east for! president and the sturdy old fellow looms as one of the greatest per nonages in the world. Over in this coun ry they are inclined to; think tlrut a man past 65 should not run for office. Imi over in ; Germany age docs not seem to cut,) | much of a figure. Von liindcn-' berg is 91 and still running strong. H would take a man like Hitler. :tHied with ege to believe that he' icould defeat tin- hero of the German republic. _________ Nothing helps revive business ; lor changes public attitude as j iinucli as advertising, in the last !

By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright. 1832 King Syndlcat*. Inc. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., April 00.— Here is the most important casting news in weeks—Metro-Goldwyn- j | Mayer has finally agreed to the \ loan of Joan Crawford for “Kain.” , This is a real qoup for United i Artists, because Joan is ideally ] suited to play Sadie Thompson—a i

role taken on the stage by the , late Jeanne Eagels and or. the silent screen by Gloria Swanson Two factors, I learn, persuaded M.-G.-M. to release one of its major stars to another company. The first is that the story offers Joan a magnificent opportunity. The second

A ' ... * >i\ * ifcjj Joan Crawford

is that United Artist 3 ha< agreed to . give M.-G.-M. a financial interest in the picture. Lewis Milestone, new producer for the U. A., arrived in Hollywood last night and went into conference with Joseph M. Sehenck Official announcement of the deal will be made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer immediately. ’ As to Joan herself, she has all | along been willing to give up her vacation to play the role of Sade. Joan is more than ordinarily earnest about her career and knows the value of such a powerful vehicle. Production of the picture will take precedence over “Promiscuous," which Joan was to have started in two weeks at Metro-1 Goldwyn-Mayer. AND SO TO GOSSIP. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., has just"' sold a short story to a national j magazine. It’s called “Gay Love” • • R.-K.-O. is trying to rent all of j Harold Lloyd's prize Great Danes for the Richard Cornell story. “The Most Dangerous Game.” This, you recall, is regarded as one of the j classic short stories of the world. It’s about a thrilling and gruesome man hunt. . .Now that the rest of Hollywood has taken up turtlenecked sweaters, Clark Gable has discarded them for V-necked slipovers. Clark hates to dress up,; abhon evening clothes. ..Seen about the “bright” light places: Jack Dempsey with a stag partyj of ten at Stark’s Bohemian Case .. . Re* Bell and Clara Bow in the audience at a local mystery play. .. Betty Blythe was lunching at !
