To vote for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, place an “X" in the first column and by the same rule, if you want it to stand, put the mark in the second column. ■Don't miss sending a message through this paper tomorrow. It will reach every one of the twenty thousand population and will bring results. There is no extra charge. Evidently the Herne Witness is, just worried to pieces for fear the j Democrats of Adams county will Mt all "busted” up into factions, which ought to make any one smile. Indianapolis is making war on' slot machines in the old fashioned i manner of sending police. They, might borrow some of the Fort' Wayne bandits. J. Ward Callend. general superintendent of the sugar company, estimates that the farmers in this territory are planting an average of 1,500 acres of beets a day and that makes us all grin and mean it. Yes sir, Decatur is a clean, prosperous and splendid city and we hear it often these days. Our factories are going, men are returning to work and we are ready to step out and take our old place in the sun after four years of depression that hurt here as it did every where. The nuisance tax will be extended another year and there will be some additions, the money to be used to provide labor for unemployed. It is the belief of President Roosevelt and his associates that next year we can start chopping off the burdens and that will bring more joy to the people. According to J. P. Morgan his company’s assets shrank from $700,000.000 to $400,000,000 in one year, bliowlog that even the big fellows ha -e been "taking it on the chin." His investigation is now on in Washington and Mr. Morgan in person was a witness before the senate committee. Wayne Coy, secretary of the state clemency commission, denies forcefully the charges made byJudge Frank p. Baker that money and influence had obtained the release of Malcom Berger, a DePauw student who had served four

months of a one year sentence for attempting a hold-up. Coy says the lad was released because the ■ commission felt it best to give him the opportunity to make good. Governor McNutt has named five splendid citizens of Indiana to serve as members of the state banking commission. The job is an important one under the new I law, but these men will, it is believed. be able to produce a better baking system than we have had in the past, by carrying out the terms of the new statute. In Ohio City, Bluffton and other nearby towns, community sales nights are the biggest they have. The men come to buy or sell at the auction ahd bring the women' and children to trade in the stores,' attend the shows or otherwise enjoy themselves. Its certainly worth | trying as it requires no expense and but little effort. If Decatur business houses will make the same effort to get business on Wednesday and Wednesday night that they do on Satur- 1 day, they can boost their business considerably. It’s not an expert-' ment, but a tried fact. A little advertising. some bargains, the right! kind of service and continuous invitations will do the trick, much , * to the satisfaction of every one con- i cerned. The first edition of the Fort ! Wayne Evening Journal-Gazette; appeared last evening and was a i dandy, with twenty-six pages of i live news, numerous features, well supported by advertising and ready | to go. Features of the edition were I congratulatory letters from Presi-, jdeut Roosevelt, Governor McNutt, 1-Senator VanNuys. Congressman' • Farley, Postmaster-General Farley I 'and many other leaders, all ex- ! pressing hopes and good wishes for I a continued long life in the new field. i AoeMtenta will happen but the > hit-skip motorist is a dangerous I citizen in a community. The least . the man who hit little Henry Morrison. breaking his leg and otherwise injuring him, should have i done, would have been to have given such attention as was possible to relieve his sufferings. Instead of that, according to reports he turned off his lights and stepped on the gas. That’s a serious of- | sense and the officers will leave nothing u idone to discover his : identity, that he may be given the opportunity to show cause for such action. * TWENTYYEARS* AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File Lester Stanley will leave for Bluffton to work for Western Un- . ion.

WHAT IS? ;-"£aa£.GARDEN?j Technique of Transplanting

I The garden season has now reached a period when transplanting the seedlings which have grown in hotbeds. cold frames and boxes in the I house is a main task. The first of !these to go out are the head lettuce seedlings which can stand consid- ■ erable in the way of cool weather land like it. In transplanting the lettuce, snip ,’off the ends of the leaves tor half I their length. This will equalize for [the disturbance of the roots in transplanting and the plants will take hold much quicker. Set the ■ lettuce plants eight inches apart in their beds and let the rows be i at least a foot apart. A small bed I which can be reached across by 'hand can be set eight inches each [way to economize space. The widler rows permit hoeing. i Following the lettuce the seedling 'onions to give the big onions next i' flu are due to go in and they. too. • should be snipped off this f’>* «P---p’.ying to,*ll seedlings in the vegetable garden.

This will be an all-day meeting starting at 11 o'clock DST. City Officials Are Under Indictment • Crown Point, Ind.. May 24.—(U.PJ —Three Crown Point officials were . under indictment on rioting charges today as the aftermath of a disorderly meeting of the city council May 15. s Those indicted by the Lake county grand jury were Mayor Vincent 1 Youkey. Alderman William F. Houk ‘ and Fire Chief Fred Bisselburg. The three were censured for improper conduct but it was not expected that prosecution of the charges would be pressed. The indictments were the out- ' growth of a squabble in the council chambers which resulted when Mayor Youkey summarily adjourn- . ed a meeting after a motion to impeach him had been presented. ’ o Gandhi Weakening Poona. India. May 24.—(U.R)—The Mahatma M. K. Gandhi entered the 17th day of his three weeks’ fast . today so weak that for the first time his wife had to wash ifis face i and brush his teeth for him. r Gandhi was cheerful, however, . and told her: i “I have more reserve powers than i jyou seem to think.” Spring water was administered t [to him every half hour.

detailed on seed packets and stick to it even if the little plants look lonesome for the time being in their beds. They will fill their , space in due time. Dig a hole sufficient to let the ( root occupy its full dapth and to j spread out the side roots. ” Don't , drop it in a wad. Set deeper in the garden than the plants set in the , seed box, almost to the seed leaves. . This will be particularly necessary . with seedlings that hav grown long and leggy. Firm the earth about them carefully after the soil , is filled in and soak. Choose a cloudy day if possible and if It is ! sunshiny and warm it is advisable [to shade the transplanted plants with paper, strawberry boxes or j flower pots for a day or so. A board set on flower pots is a convenient ' method for shading a whole row at once. For the spring growing plants requiring’ a rich soil, a little plant food may W mixld with thk soil at transplanting time so the roots will have food at once, 1

CHINA TROOPS LEAVE PEIPING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) | Peiping, and Japanese bombing planes droned over the city dropping propaganda leaflets, while reports. from Tokio and elsewhere ■ spoke of an armistice between Japan and China. i Here, the military rather than , the diplomatic phase seemed upper- . most. A United Press correspondent I visited General Ho at "his headquarters. Nine Japanese planes roared overhead, and Ho’s bodyguards were ready, along with their : officers, to go to dugouts if bombs were dropped. But leaflets came down instead. “We seek a truce, not an crmls1 tice.” General Ho said. “Thus far we have been unsuccessful. If an ■ understanding is. reached it will be purely local.” Ho deplored the reports of a general arnjistice. characterizing ■ them as deliberately misleading. o DECATUR HIGH SCHOOL LISTED . (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the school is located. In addition it must meet the high standards ‘ maintained with respect to the school building and equipment, ■ library, records, training and preparation of teachers and the 1 school's program with reference to physical edneation and its ath--1 letic relationship with other high schools. The North Central Association is an accrediting agancy comprising twenty states and is the largest regional accrediting agency in the United States. The object of the association is _ to establish (Moser relations between the secondary schools and institutions of , higher learning. Membership in the association is purely voluntary. Inspectors and supervisors of the ass<M'*»H ( ,n inspect accredited scuco's at regular intervals.

Conditions in WAYNE IMPROVE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ployes have been returned to work in the Fort Wayne and Decatur plants of the General Electric Company since January, it was reported. Production of the Royal Manufacturing Company has increased about 50 per cent over 1932 figures, according to company officials. The Wayne Oil Burner Corporation reported it was filling large orders for exportation to Switzerland and the Cafehart Corporation reported increased production of automatic phonographs. o Lower State Wheat Yield Is Predicted Indianapolis, May 24. — <U.R) — A wheat crop 6,010.000. bushels below last year s yield of 22/fnn bushels is predicted in Indiana by K. C. Foust, organization director of the Central States Grain Association. 1

WOODIN AMONG MEN FAVORED IN PURCHASES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Others enjoying a preferred position on the Morgan list: Silas Brown, former president of the United States Chamber of Commerce; Owen D. Young head of General Electric company; Newton D. Baker, secretary of war "'under President Wilson; John W. Davis, Morgan's attorney; Walter S. Gifford, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph company; Charles D. Hilles. New York Republican leader; Thomas S. and Thomas W. LaMpnt, Morgan's partners; Charles E. Mitchell, former head of the National City Bank; R. B. Mellon, brother of the former treasury secretary; J. P. Morgan; J. P. Morgan's stock account; Henry S. Morgan; Myron C. Taylor, banker* and W. C. Teagle, president of Standard Oil of New Jersey. —l.. o — RESERVE BANKS BUYING BONDS

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) bonds, cash balances of member banks are increased by equal amounts. The administration hopes that the banks, with these auditional funds on hand, will advance them to industry to get more money into circulation and help the upturn in business and prices. . During the Hoover administration the reserve banks bought nearly $1,000,000,000 (B) of bonds which they still hold, but the desired credit expansion was not achieved. Officials feel that with business now improving and market values rising, conditions are much more favorable for success of the operations. Woodin said he did not expect any results for some time in international efforts for stabilization of currencies. Dr. o. M. N. Sprague, monetary authority who will be sworn in today as executive assistant to the treasury secretary, will have a large part in working out the stabilization program. 0 — DEMOCRATS TO AID IN REPEAL (CONTINUED FROM I’AGE ONE) would be a reality before the close of 1933. New York was the sixth state to vote ratification of repeal. Thirty-six ratifications are necessary. As exclusively predicted by the United Press last week, the Farley announcement is expected to be the forerunner of a vigorous campaign to be launched immediately upon the adjournment of congress and one in which President Roosevelt would participate. The President, according to close friends, is preparing to issue a formal statement urging his supporters to rally to the cans© of repeal. particularly in the south where a bitter fight impends. Already the administration has sought to aid the repeal campaign by promising that $220,000,000 in new proposed to congress will be eliminated as soon as the

ISth amendment is removed from the constitution. Belief prevails that excises on legalized hard liquor would bring the government at least $800,000,000 ahnually. This would not only wipe out the proposed new taxes, but provide hundreds of millions of dollars additional to help meet the costs of the administration’s giant reconstruction programs and balance the budget. Beer taxes are rolling in at a rate said to be far in excess of the $125,000,000. Annually that was estimated when the law was put into effect a month ago. This is
