It every one does it, the results will be more than pleasing to the merchant, the buying public and us. Up to now the acts of the president have been of a deflation tend-> eney. closing the banks, reducing salaries, establishing economies ■ and all the other things. Now he will start inflation from a base that will stand a march toward prosperity. He is wise and the people will do well to have faith in him. Commemorating the death of Christ upon the cross, special services will he held in the various churches here and over the county, Friday of this week. It's Good Friday and the local stores will as has been the custom several years past, close from twelve o’clock, noon, until three. Yoh have until May 2Sth to get stamps on your intangibles. In the meantime you should post yourself on wfthther your valuable papers — come under this law or not. If they do you will- save plenty of money . by complying with the regulations. Otherwise you will have to pay the regular tax together with heavy penalties. Times arc improving and that's no apple sauce. From every section of the country and from almost every line of endeavor, comes news that proves it. Soon we will be getting rid of that worried expression that has become epidemic and learn how to smile again. Then we can look hack over the days of the past four years and tell the younger folks >f the deprivations and how we met them. It s on again —the baseball season opened today—and from now on you can watch the score boards,

It's good for w hat ails you for any real good American who knows the ► great national game, can't help but forget all his troubles w hen he j watches them knock the little old j baseball around the lot. . Each of the ten districts in In- >: diana is to have a beer inspector I ; whose duty will be to drop in on . II . i the boys and see that the laws are i i' obeyed to the letter. Now there is > a job that they probably can till i ' without difficulty, but its perhaps more important than many w ill bei lieve until they have demonstrated just how much in earnest they are. The new law. if it is to be contin--1 tied, must be enforced to the letter and Paul Fry, state excise officer, says it will be. Twenty-one guards have been dis I missed at the state prison and their i j 1 places will be taken, up to nineteen. by Democrats. A shake-up m i the forces on the highway is sched-' tiled for Saturday. Some will think I that partisan and make consider-1 able fuss over it but after all, its a part of the game that we will ; never get away from. To the vic- : tors belong the spoils, is an adage | !as old as American politics and | that's what keeps the organization I I going. The recent livestock sale brought 1 back memories of the good old : days when the horse business was a real one here, when farmers made money and many buyers earn-I ed substantial profits. They tell us the horse business is coming back and if it does. Adams county will swing into line, for our farmers know how to raise them ami many of our people know how to ’ sell them. Next on the program will lie the; development of Muscle Shoals. We j have argued and discussed that ' proposition pro and con since the' war i-losed. Mr. Roosevelt be- ■ lieves its operation will help the people and provide employment for many men. He wifi see that it is made the best plant of its kind in the world and the people will benefit. In a month the President has done more than is sometimes done during an entire presidential ' term. Jesse H. Mellett, former mayor • of Anderson and who resigned last January, appeared suddenly at his office, traveling m a wheel chair and said he was only foolin' and that he was still the chief execu-1 tive of that city. Harry Baldwin, i former controller, who had assitm- j ed the office -f mayor was not only I discharged by the mayor hut like-1 wis* informed that, he could no longer serve in his old job. Just how an official can resign and then renounce his resignation‘or how he ||cm serve when he chooses, will probably be decided by the courts. In the meantime Anderson is in a rather unpleasant position. — -o —* ♦— - . Test Your Knowledge — Can you answer seven of these test question?

DARROW PLEADS FOR BOY’S LIFE (■TON TINT'ED FROM lAGK OXI!) Hams, the hoard took the case i under advisement. Today's appearance before Governor Horner will be for executive clemency to ' commute the sentence to life iniI prisonment. Max A. Weston, assistant state’s I attorney of Winnebago comity, i argued against Darrow. He rei called that at the time of the ' : slaying McWilliams was driving ■ one of two cars which his family i owned. He met Darrow's ennteuj lion that the youth was reared in ia slum area by declaring that the i McWilliams home was average and in a respectable neighbor- ■ hood. , He pointed oiu that Mc\\ illiams had been involved in several previous holdups. Supporting Darrow's plea was a petition for commutation from the Tax Survive Association of Illinois. . One of the most unusual on record, it contended that because' iof high taxes on homes, McWil- ! Hams' parents were so hard press|ed to make a living that they I could not give him a fair chance ; in life. CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM .MAY BE ( LOSE!) ' CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I pension of schools came yesterday I when 2,000 of them stormejl Tayli or's office after a parade through l the loop. Taylor, beleaguered almost daily tor the past three weeks by unpaid i teachers, vainly tried to placate I the aroused group. He was surrounded by shouting, protesting : teachers in iiis office. Finally he asked, almost hope- ' lessiy: "Do you want us to elose the ] schools?” "Yes,” wins Hie almost unanimous reply. Taylor was alarmed by the reaction but added calmly: 'We are doing our best. We arc working night and day. But there are no funds available." in yesterday's demonstration, i teachers gathered at the city hail, i Several hundred invaded the office lof acting Mayor Frank J. Coor. : Then they marched around the i building, trooped past the county building and through the loop. ; They carried signs and banners <ie- ' manding payment of Tuck salaries. Lieut. Mike Mills, head of the police radical squad, said several known communists marched with | the demonstrators yesterday and i were believed to have instigated similar uprisings. At Taylor’s office, the glass door i was smashed and the door unlocked. Angry shouts were hurled ami , threats made. Several demanded 11 hut Taylor resign. “I'm ready to resign anytime,” : Taylor replied. I "Do von exited us girls to walk tiie street for a living.” <nie woman I teacher shouted. With the school strike imminent, officials recalled that non-payment ■of salaries possibly was due in large measure to the untimely death of Mayor Anton .1 Cermak. He had gone to Florida to confer with then President-elect Franklin It. Roosevelt regarding federal aid i when a bullet aimed at Mr. Roose--1 veil wounded the mayor fatally.

Had Cermak lived, some officials said, at least a partial payment would have been made before the situation reached its present critical stage. 0 PATRICK NASH MAX BE N AMED UON-IINT ED FROM PA?iE ONE) "I don't want to be mayor,” he declared. "Im not .courting the position Hut it appears I am being pushed and shoved toward it. The party seems to be urging the job on me.” Nash said he had not definitely decided to accept hut authoritative sources in Democratic headquarters said they were certain he would consent. If he accepts, Nash said, it will be with the stipulation that deputy he named to relieve him of rigorous routine of the office. Nash's long political career libs brought him in close contact with Chicago's problems. He was school-; ed under the late Roger C. Sulli-j v in. long a party chief in Cook county. Following Cermak s death. ■ he was named county Democratic; leader and succeeded Cermak as national committeeman. Patrick A. Nash, if he accepts the mayorality of Chicago, will step into the office facing one of tiie most perplexing situations ever confronted by a city executive. More than 15,000 school teachers
