Ten marriage licenses were issued at the county clerk's office for ■ Easter weddings, which proves ; that things are not so dull in this i jcoininunity. — For those who glory in watching ' records fall or new ones made, the daily showery since the first of! April gives them something more to talk about. It has rained every day this • month and those who have tried to hang out the week's washing, work in the garden or on the farm between showers are about convinced that we have had enough. An opinion has been rendered by I state officials that postal savings! deposits are taxable under the newintangible tax law. It' you have .money on deposit in this department you are expected to turn it in for taxation. ’ A new and different feeling about i conditions prevailed here over the weekend. Business picked up and! there was much activity in manuf < tilling and retail lines. Let's keep the ball rolling and before long you can throw away the red ink bottle and forget your troubles. [ The fellow who thought he could get an old fashioned spree on a few bottles of the new 3.2 brew, has found out that his capacity will not match the kick in it and that its a harder job than he anticipated. Those who tested the beverage vouch it is not intoxicating. Winnie Ruth Judd is staging a more or less spectacular show and on the pica of insanity may escape death by hanging. It's one of those . cases, regardless of guilt, the fact of hanging a woman, grips the * emotions o£ the public ar.d with "sentiment aroused, the execution " may not be carried out. * Indiana's quota at the reforestation farms is 6.500 men. In con- ■* nection with the federal relief pro- * gram, it is planned to have two •-reforestation camps in the south I art 61 the state, giving employment to about 600 men. The proZ gram seems popular and in time the tree farms will take up some of the slack in the unemployed » ranks.

Governor Paul McNutt announcI ed yesterday that a special session jof the legislature was unnecessary ;to deal with poor relief problems lin several of the counties. It is a ; ■ matter for the local communities , to solve and whatever legal steps I are necessary, counties and townships are empowered to go ahead • with the work as they see fit. . Mayor Johnson of Gary, former Adams county citizen, invites those from this section of the state to : visit him while on their way to the ! world’s fair this summer. Gary is lone of the wonder cities of the ; middle west and to many a visit in | the great steel city will be as inI teresting as seeing the exhibits and I mail-made wonders at the fair. We ; know Adams county people will be I welcomed by the mayor. Following a lew hours after the story came from Washington that President Roosevelt was going to have trouble in getting his legislative program through congress, the Senate killed the 16 to 1 illation measure, just because it was hinted j that the President did not favor it. | Congress is going to do what Roosevelt wants and the ccAintry ' favors the carrying out of the ‘ executives program. The skirm- | ishes are just so much play. j An irate father lashed his 11I year-old son 11 times for spilling I sugar on the floor. The case was carried to court and the father was ; given a 30-day jail sentence. The judge should have added a year or two, giving the old man time to I cool off and to reflect that after all it %as only a few grains of ’ sugar which could have been swept ! up with one tenth the effort exerted ! in the flogging. Jake (The Barberl Factor, who it is claimed duped some of the i smart ones in this country and in . England out of about ten million l dollars in a get rich swindle ! scheme, is going to be chiseled for 1 a RAv grand before the kidnap- ' ers’rel'urn’liis son. Spending one hundred dollars a day for a pent house, Jake claims he can't raise i the money to pay the ransom. It j may be a long time before he sees his boy unless he decides to jar loose with the money demanded. Seems like a case of trying to even up matters. — The Senate has approved of the five-day week and six-hour labor day and if the bill is to be modified. changed or killed, the house will have to do it Both Indiana t Senators voted against the motion to reconsider the measure, the Sen-1 ate having acted favorably on it * two weeks ago. Evidently there will be a fight in the house and the ; outcome there will be watched with interest. Putting America on a five-day working basis and limiting labor to six hours a day is a departure from the old method and it may not help in bringing the country out of the sloughs. It’s good news to this community that the state highway department is going to repair the stretch of road between Decatur and the Ohio line, known as route 527 at once. Specifications are now being prepared for the improvement and highway officials give the j assurance that the work will be pushed rapidly. This route is fast I becoming one of the important routes in this section of the state, connecting with the Ohio and In- . diana state roads and to this community it is one of the most important links in local territory. The road needs repairing and before high summer, officials state they , will have completed the job of making it a hard surfaced highway. o ' NOTICE —Please call for your reI pair work soon I need the money.

Heavy Taxes Blamed in Appeal to Save Condemned Boy Killer * ♦ ♦ ♦ * * Parents, Burdened by Taxes, Could Not Give Russell McWilliams a Fair Chance in Life, Says Clemency Petition Before Illinois’ Governor. 73ST k • K ■P L A’/ I® ..

Cl arence Darron la a desperate attempt to save Russell McWilliams, condemned slayer, of Rockford, 111., from execution, scheduled for April 21, one of the most unique petitions in history is before Governor Henry Horner, of Illinois. The petition, presented by the Tax Service Association of Illinois, claims tbit the murder of William S. Sayles, who was shot to death by McWilliams during a holdup in August, 1931, was indirectly the result of his parents having been so heavily taxed as to be in no position to give the boy a fair chance in life. The ease aroused keen interest throughout the nation during the three hearings. Last February Clarence Darrow, veteran criminal lawyer and crusader for lost causes, came out of retirement in an attempt to save the youth, who was only 16 at the time of the crime. But Darrow’s eloquence was futile. Ihe court upheld the previous verdict, and, failing Governor Horner’s intervention, McWilliams must die. A pathetic figure in court daily during the trials was Mrs. Maggie McWilliams, the condemned boy’s mother. But no less pathetic was the widow of the murdered man, Mrs. Alice Sayles. Darrow ' hung the weight of his pleg for c!«nge*cy on the sentiment “he is too young to Mie," but Judge £. D. Surileff pointed out that whether a man be IT or 77 there are no mitigating circumstances when he deliberately ,' slays a fellow man w hue attempting to rob him.

Taking Your DOLLAR To Market EVERY year your family, and every family of your acquaintance, spends about 70 per cent of its income just for living, exclusive of rent — so economic experts tell us. Think what this means—seven dollars out of every ten invested in food, clothing, household utilties and all the multitude of things that keep a family comfortable and happy. That part of spending is readily understood. But do you realize that every manufacturer and retailer of these necessities is planning how he can get your dollar? It’s a big job to spend so much money wisely and well. It requires careful business methods to get the best possible returns from each dollar that leaves the family purse. The clever woman goes for help to the advertisement in her daily paper. There she finds a directory of buying and selling. She learns about the offerings of merchants and manufacturers. She compares values. She weighs quality and price. She takes this opportunity of judging and selecting almost everything she needs to feed, clothe, amuse, instruct and generally bring up her family. Do you read the advertisements? You will find them willing and able to serve you in the daily* business of purchase. * :: * I Advertisements are guardians of your pocketbook—read them carefully.
