LEGION CONFERENCE*: An exhilerating and delightful suasion was the gathering of the Veterans here Sunday, it was a conference of the new fourth district Legionnaires and a reunion of the boys who served in the Word War. The boys with their wives and sweethearts came early and remained for the entire day, parading, listening to the orations and visiting over the dinner hour and evering at Sunset Park. The parade participated in by the drum corps, bands. Legion posts, auxiliaries, state police, firemen and others was inspiring and the crowds which lined the streets enjoyed it. ' Fjfst prize went to Fort Wayne, second to Bluffton apd third to Van ' — Wert, but scored by the judges on points, all were about even. Addresses by Mayor Krick, Col. Ralph Cole, of Findlay, Ohio, State —Commander Gates of Columbia City _ and others were appreciated by the _ many who listened attentively to the program and it is needless to say that the visitors thoroughly enjoyed the program at Sunset, where a chicken dinner was served ■and a varied program of entertainment provided. Congratulations are extended to N. R. ‘llolthouse, general chairman and to all who assisted in making the event one of the best of its kind ever put on in this vicinity. We 4ove_the colors, the drums, the —bugles and the general patriotic air •whirh accompanies these occasions and are sure such events make the blood ting'e for each and every cne who attends the gatherings of the-soldier boys. We hope every one had a genu- - inely good time and that our guests will Want to return frequently. . Thus is convention week for- the Republicans and already the leaders and those who wish to be are gathering in Indianapolis where the big show will be on Thursday. With some eight or nine candidates for the governorship and more willing to be drafted, it looks like an old fashioned struggle. Senator Watson is in the nine-hold because he is a candidate for re-election himself and the battle has warmed up to a degree where he feels he should keep hands off. Governor Leslie has suddenly leaped to the front and is credited with a lot of hidden

power. Senator Robinson is In the background and George Hall, newly chosen committeeman, is quietly wielding some Influence. Just how it will come out is difficult to guess. 1 i Some think Bert Thurman has the nomination sewed up. others be- ■ Here that landls or Bush will show t greatest strength while some of the wisest are looking for Arthur > Sapp to be the lucky boy. Any way [its an important and interesting , I week for those who care for the * ’ great American sport-politics. The jI Democrats will convene soon with ' another chapter and then both parties move on to Chicago for the national conventions. All government employes, exceptthose who draw less than SI,OOO per year, will receive a ten per cent cut. under a hill which passed the I'nited States senate Saturday. Looks hard and is for those who have to take it but of course when these things start they go all the way through and few people, farm- . er, laborer, business man or employee in private organizations but have taken a greater reduction. It can scarcely be avoided and probably should not be for the soonet 1 we get down to the correct plane, the sooner we can begin to crawl cut of the hole. This community, like all others, is going through some trying ordeals as a result of the depression, one of the worst ever suffered in this nation. If we will be as fair and lenient and helpful as we can, we are sure it will be best for every one. Getting mad at some one, gossipping or otherwise rocking the boat will make getting to shore just so much more difficult. Looks as though the Republicans ci Indiana will favor a referendum on the liquor question when they meet in convention this week to adopt a platform. That means of course that the leaders feel that this question, long a campaign nuisance, will have to be definitely settled by the people. Efforts to get the special session of the legislature to consider a lot . of measures of one kind and another have begun. That’s silly and we don’t believe it will be long permitted by those who caused the session to be called for the express purpose of correcting and equalizing taxes. That and that alone should be the work. June and the good old summer] time, the season when we all relax and quit worrying about the furnace] and the snow paths and the rough winds. Forget your troubles and have a good time. You will be the better for it. We are a queer lot. We declare congress or the legislature ought to do certain things and then as soon ,;s th?y have done so, we find fault and criticize. o-A ♦ — • Household Scrapbook -By— ROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ Feather Pillows When washing a feather pillow, dissolve 1 lb, sal-ecda ?.:d % lb. soap in M gallon boiling water.

This is the time we should keep our feet on the ground and try to do the sensible and best thing for the country." Colonel Cole, eloquent in his jiralse for the fine spirit demonstrated by Decatur citizens in entertaining the Legionnaires, told of ■the first organization meeting held in Paris in 1919 at which time steps were taken to organize the American Legion. The meeting was called by Colonel Theoddre Roosevelt, Jr., and at this meeting the present Legion organization had its birth. The Legion is a. peace-time organization and the slogan “serve out ration in peace as well as in war” explains its purpose, stated the Colonel. The whole thing can be summen in one word, "Duty," emphasized the speaker. He called on Americans to renew their faith in God, stating that no nation ever lived that forgot there was a God. “It’s time we renew our faith in ourselves and place a greater faith in the Almighty," the fighting colonel stated. "Any man whg has seen war. men injured and killed, does not want war. America’s position is law with order and force sufficient to enforce that law if necessary"-, Col. Cole stated.

Mr. Minster was an orderly to the Colonel 1 in France and an affectionate oldr time acquaintance was renewed by I'the comrades before the crowd. ; Miss Jeanette Flick, also of Fort . > Wayne, was escorted by Mr. Mlnj ster also appeared on the platform.

ANARCHIST IS TAKEN IN ROME Faces Execution In Conspiracy To Kill Premier At Celebration Rome, June (U.R) A young anarchist who carried on his chest a thin rubber pad tilled with enough nitroglycerine to blow a dozen men to pieces if he had been thrown down by police or soldiers, faced execution today for a plot against the life of Premier Benito Muasolini. The anarchist also carried a revolver and two flat shaped bombs hung from his belt. Police revealed that Angelo BardeDotto, planned and asstssinatiop at the ceremony on Janiculunt Hill Saturday. It was attended by Mussolini and igembers of the royal family. Queen (Helene unveiled a monument to Anita Garibaldi. Police quoted Bardellotto as saytug he would have committed suicide whether or not his attempt against Mussolini had been successful. He was picked up by one of the detectives of the presidential squad. The would-be assassin was stationed at a spot where Mussolini would have passed within half an hour. The anarchist was quoted as saying that he hoped to obtain a pass to admit him to the Garibaldi ceremony but that he did not get the pass and could not pass through the cordons of troops which guarded the premier and the king and queen. Bardellotto will be tried by the special tribunal fbr the defense of the state which sentenced another anarchist. Michae Schirru. to death for a smilar plot in 1931.
