Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Sunday is Mother's Day. Make her happy. They can call it inflation if they want but things in general are sure going up. A little thing like rain doesn’t keep the farmer from working. More than 1,000 acres have been sowed to beets already and with a day or two of sunshine the entire 12,000 acres will be in. Between three and four million dollars will be paid to Chicago school teachers this week. That should make them smile and give them new hope that the balance of about 25 million due them will be paid later. Employment is increasing, factories are resuming schedules and markets are going up. There is an optimistic feeling everywhere and it appears definitely that the old country has rounded the corner towards better times. The Governor of Wisconsin threatens to close all the creameries and cheese plants in his state. That will tie up the dairy business and no doubt bring suffering to many. Drastic action of this sort may be necessary, but the gain is also small when the hardships arc considered. Strikes never pay and when they are over, they leave sores that are hard to mend. Congressman McFadden hurls the charge that Andrew Mellon owes the government several million dollars in taxes. Similar charges are made from time to time about great men in the country and very few are ever brought to trial, because evidence is lacking. Mellon probably was wise enough not to try the evasion game, for in his business all he had to do was to pass the tax unto the public. -Some fellows can write glowing tributes about mother, but as much as we would like, it’s a difficult tnb. We are probably swayed by sentiment for this noble creature wnd can’t find words to express U. We know she is the finest per-

son in the world, kind, patient and if you would try to define service, just mention mother. She gives 1 most and in a spirit of appreciation i. for all she has done, we are happiest when we bask under the sunshine of her countenance and are shine of her countenance and beaming presence. t We doubt if Gaston Means knows ! who kidnaped the Lindbergh baby, j His statement on the witness 5 stand, naming two New York un- ’ derwold characters as the abduct- > ) ors of the world’s most famous ) baby, caused a sensation and probably was made for that reason. If Means knew who the perpetrators of the dastardly crime were he should have given their names a year ago and probably would have been forgiven for other crimes. If you favor retaining the Eighteenth or dry amendment to the • Federal Constitution you should 3 vote for rejection of the proposed Twenty-first Amendment. If you want the Eighteenth Amendment repealed, vote for ratification of the new amendment. In other words you will vote June 6 on the question of ratification or rejection of the Twenty-first Amendment. i which would repeal the federal dry amendment. A federal tax on tea and coffee I is proposed as a means to raise! funds for the carrying out of a j national building program. It i > i doesn't seem unreasonable and those who sip a cup of tea or drink da cup of coffee would probably be willing to pay a small tax in order that others might enjoy a meal now and then. You know there is one thing about giving work to the I other fellow. He has to be paid and . the money must come from some > source or other. It’s a time to lay , I aside selfishness and pocket-book . patriotism. The sudden death of J. B. Wiles, i manager and industrial commis- - sioner of Fort Wayne, removes a . vital force from that community. , s i Mr. Wiles was a sincere and en- > I thusiastic worker for the best int terests of Fort Wayne and during s his six years residence in that city > promoted and accomplished some I of the finest civic undertakings in i the middle west. He was a dynamic personality, well versed in the technique of obtaining things bene- ? j ficial to the community and his 3 ] death leaves a gap. made all the "I greater because of the successful I I program he directed in the interest *- of Fort Wayne. r 3 Patrons of the Decatur Public - Library regret to learn of the resigV nation of Miss Annette Moses as i-1 librarian. Since IJO6, when the s j local library was opened to the public, Miss Moses has served faithfully and efficiency and her 5 personal interest in each person 1 who called demonstrated her fine 1 spirit and willingness to serve. She y -was acquainted and versed in every e 'duty connected with the operation 3 of the library and its service of providing wholesome and instruc- - tive reading tn the public. Although th© public will miss her I greatly . iis rightly deserves the 1 i rest she seeks. o ♦ - ♦ Test Your Knowledge — Can you answer seven of these test questions?

He won the title by eating 50 three minute eggs—two tpore than the runner-up. Admit! g friends presented Freeman with a handsome hand-pained hog trough. FARMER STRIKE IS POSTPONED BY OFFICIALS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) strike. Governor Olson pointed out that bloodshed and perhaps death probably would attend the embargo. A point set out by Governor Olson which carried much weight with Reno and the others was that the strike, if started now, would do much to destroy favorable farm sentiment built up in the east during the last few weeks. Reno announced that a letter would be sent today to association heads in all states explaining the postponement. He said he would point out that “The President's request is in effect a command and should be respected by governors and the courts." In this he referred to the President's appeal for leniency in mortgage foreclosures.

Anti-revisionists "'had been quietly preparing for a lastditch battle, and with good prospects of success. The situation had been regarded as particularly dangerous in the house where a substantial majority of both Republicans and Democrats campaigned on a "no debt compromise” pUtform. o Odd Election Called Venus.
