While on this allotting business someone might try to allot the rains in this section Today was national hospital day. observed in memory of Florence Nightingale, famous British nurse who was born May 12. 1820. Hospitals throughout the country observed it with open house and programs of interest to the public. When you vote on June 6 remember that yon are voting on the question of ratification or rejection of the TWENTY-FIRST AMENDMENT, which amendment proposes to repeal the Eighteenth or so-call-cd DRY Amendment. No one seems to care if Gaston B. Means is found guilty and given another sentence on top of the 15 years he is now serving. He’s an unpleasant character in this country and a few more years to his stretch won’t make much difference. For those who like sensational law suits, the case of the United States against Banker Mitchell will in all probability furnish thrills aplenty. One time a leading banker of the country Mitchell is now reported to be more than two millions dollars in debt and is charged by the federal government with evading income taxes in 1329 and 1930. The Illinois supreme court has he'd the state’s three percent sales tax invalid. The law attempted to exempt certain commodities and classes and revenue from it was not for a specific purpose. One of the reasons for passing the bill was to catch some of the 30 million people to th. world's fair next summer and unless a special session of the legislature is called the state will have to do without the expected income. It seems that no one can tell a fish story or any sort of a tale pertaining to fish correctly. The

I Bluffton News-Banner was called on the carpet the other day as a result of mentioning in its columns that 400,000 newly hatched walleyed pike were put into the St. Marys river at Huntington. Os course someone reminded the editor that the course of the river had not been changed and the correction was made, placing the St. Mary’s river in that teritory between Decatur and Fort Wayne. Just another fish story. Immediate prospects for agriculture are promising. Grain surpluses are neater the vanishing point than they have been for several years. Next winter ought to see the country restored to something like normalcy as far as agriculture is concei ned. The farmer can now hire labor at wages within his reach. The deflation of farm values which began with the end of the war seems to have touched bottom and begun to rebound and more credit sources are open to the farmer now than for a number of years. Industry, commerce and finance congratulate the farmer and themselves. —Hammond Times. The new state board of education will win public approbation if it adheres to the intention of making the minimum number of changes in textbooks to be used in public schools in the next five-year period. One of the chief criticisms of boards in by-gone years involved 'he frequent and unjustified changes, imposing needless expense on parents. Books which were used by an older child were cast aside when a younger member of the family was ready to use them. The methods used in obtaining book awards became a state scandal. Governor McNutt indicated that books would be retained if suitable and that at least half of the texts formerly used would be readopted. The steady progress achieved in some branches of learning would make books obsolete after a few years, even for the grade schools. be almost as good now as they were a decade or two ago, eve nthough teaching methods may have changed. Grammar, arithmetic, geography and similar subjects have become largely standardized. Texts dealing with science and modern history might be out of date in a few years. The board of education must give serious consideration to the matter of price in weighing the merits of competing volumes. The parents of school children should benefit from the general reduction in all I lines. Trivial cuts, however, j should not be sufficient to justify! changing textts and thus adding extra costs on families throughout | the state. Some companies are repotted as offering bids 15 per cent below the last scale. A few asking ' higher prices should receive scant consideration.—lndianapolis Star.
