Whether you gain or lose in the battle to got some where depends L.rgely on your own/efforts. Keep that chin out. If they find the murderer and kid naper of the Lindbergh babe, we suppose such a low dog would be entitled to defense by a reputable lawyer, but most of them would sure shy away from the assignment. They ought to get every one of the grafters who was trying to hold up Col. Lindbergh and his friends and sentence them to prison for life. There is no room outside for persons who thus deal on the feelings of tho£e whose hearts are heavily burdened. It is reported that the various jobs held by the late Robert Fuestal, of Fort Wayne with the utility com-i ■ panies will be distributed four or! five ways, that is, his work will be ] divided among that many heads. | No doubt his heavy responsibilities j hastened his death in the prime of j his life. Clarence Manion, professor of lew at Notre Dame University will act as temporary chairman at the Democratic convention at Indianapolis on June 21st and will give the keynote speech. John S. McFadden of Rockville will be permanent chairman. Both men are reeogniz ed for their ability and their serv ices and the event promises to be interesting, exciting and harmonious. This is commencement week for the Decatur high schools and the seniors as well as other classes will be bw»j. There are as usual many Social activities and then of course I rhe regular program which closes with graduation exercises Friday evening. It’s a happy event and perhaps more important than many of th* members who will receive diplomas realize for it is really the commencement of their busy lives. -The appraisers have completed Mt big job of fixing valuations on tie reil estate and improvements in this county and according to the figures now available, but unofficial, tlere will he a reduction of about twenty to twenty-five per cent or st veral million dollars in totals. Tills means of course that unless the budgets can be cut decisevely

and there Is a limit to that, the rates must be higher. It is assured however that in dollars and cents there will be a less amount to pay for taxes next year than for I some time past. Ralph Rich, chief of police at ■ Anderson, a patrolman and six others. most of them bootleggers and , gangsters, were convicted in feder- » ;.l court for violation of the profit- ! bition laws. A number of others > ) are to be tried later and several ’ have pie id guilty. They will be > duly punished and in the meantime it is said the boys are having a tough time getting refreshment supplies in the Madison county seat. It's a tough business at best. It begins to look a little as though , the various organizations which have been demanding a special session of the legislature in Indiana. will get together sufficiently to warrant the call by Governor Leslie. They have about agreed that taxes and nothing else should be the program and if benefits can be thus derived, no one will object to the special meeting of the lawI makers. But the people want no I fooling. ■ . ' ■ Commencement exercises of the Ist. Joseph Catholic schools will be conducted Friday evening. June 3rd jat the school auditorium at which ' time sixteen young men and women will receive diplomas and enter the business world. Father Schmitt of Marion, Indiana, will deliver the undress and in addition there will bt the program especially arranged i f<,r this interesting event. The schpol year has been a very successful one and the sixteen boys and girls who will gradate at this i time have each made excellent i showings. The government will spend two lor three billion dollars more for , public work in an effort to furnish i employment. Os this it is proposed to divide three hundred million dollars among the states to be used as they see fit in public work while t he rest will be spent by the federal authorities. We hope it works but we are doubtful if the distribution of this vast amount will do anymore towards relieving the depression than have some other efforts and in the end, it is well to remember we must pay it bgck some way or other. R. Earl Peters was re-elected state chairman of the Democratic party Saturday as predicted, this l.eing the fourth consecutive time he has been chosen for that high , {honor. Mr. Peters is an old Decatur man who has battled through many obstacles and with success. He will continue as the titular head of the party and will have charge of the coming campaign which promises to be one of the most interesting ever held in the state. Mrs. Flynn of Logansport was re-elect-ed vice-chairman and Marshall Williams. secretary and Amos Woods, treasurer. The opposition to these officials continued until the vote was taken Saturday.

wanted Leslie Howard to repeat his Broadway role in “The Anima! Kingdom.” But now it develops that Howard would not be available at the later date. Rather than lose him, the studio decided to change its production schedule. This means that Ann will have to curtail her vacation, but she secs the necessity and has agreed. As matters stand now, “Bed cf Roses” simply will switch places with the Barry comedy. It j s the original story by Adela Rogers Hyland Among the bigger laughs of the week is that telephone conver a’ion between Arthur Caesar and Edward Anthony Brcwn, the original “Whitey” of “Queer People.” It seems that Brown was out with some friends and. at 4 a. m., got the idea of calling Caesar "Hello, Arthur,” he shouted jovially, “how are you?” And Caesar flipped right baek: “Okay. I can’t sleep either. Where’s the party?” AND SO TO GOSSIP. The Harold Lloyds are planning to take a villa on the Riviera this summer and, leaving tbe children there, to make a leisurely tour of Europe. Neither Harold nor Mildred has ever been abroad. Several times they’ve planned a trip, but pictures or babies have intervened. ... If you’ve two or three hours to spare, ask John Miljan about his new baby. . . . Now Paramount has decided to change the title of “Merton of the Talkies” to “Gates of Hollywood.” . . . Sylvia Sidney is moving tn the beach for Ure summer. while Clive Brook has taken over the old Lasky residence in Hollywood. . . . W. F Carey, president of Madison Square Garden.

AN ARMY Os Salesmen Who Take Little Time When a salesman ealls upon you, your subconseious question is, “How much time will he take? Yet every day an army of salesmen comes marching into your living-room. They take your time only when you can spare it. They present their products to you briefly and politely, without a single interruption during your moments of consideration. They retire at your wish, or tell you more if you desire. Are you learning all you can from these salesmen the advertisements in your daily paper! They conn from the market places of the world. They bring the latest facts about the things you want and need, suggest other things you might want or need. They can make life more pleasant, efficient and economical. But you—and you alone—are the judge! (’an you afford to deny an audience to these salesmen? They do more than try to sell you something. They bring you the news of what your neighbors and your countrymen are doing in the world of business. Advertisements do not ring doorbells—but they receive cordial reception from intelligent, discriminating people everywhere. Again and again they point out tbe only true bargains—sound merchandise at fair prices. When you read the advertisements, you are helping yourself to better things! ’ * Decatur Daily Democrat
