Invite the public to trade with you through this paper. Business is getting better every-; where, the records show, and have you noticed that neither President I Roosevelt, the secretary of the treasure or the secretary of war are claiming any credit for the up- j turn. Senator VanNuys wasted no time I when he was convinced that the director of the Federal Reserve had to go and his action brought results. For once, Indiana has a I senator who clicks in tune with the head of the nation. — Some of those who declare that President Roosevelt is just lucky and that Mr. Hoover was very unlucky. should figure that the country was waiting tor a lucky man who would take advantage of his lucky days. There is still a lot of work to be ‘ done on the farm and we are pray- ! ing for weather that will permit it. With the outlook for better prices for crops it will be tough luck if our good farmers are not able to get a harvest. Democratic editors of Indiana will have their annual summer powwow at Lake Wawasee in August and. of coutse, the party leaders will be there too. That will be just about the right time for a big meeting of the Democrats of Indiana. The trend of business continues upward and many who have been* discouraged are again taking heart and will make a great effort to come back. There is no reason’ not to. A little hustling now will bring results. Its strange how some of the critics of the new Indiana state' administration have cooled off since' the announcement that the administration has reduced operating expenses more than a million and a half dollars the srst four months of its control. Tomorrow is Memorial Day and millions of people will give due honor to the soldier dead. It is a holiday devoted to that purpose and properly observed, teaches the i young to respect those who have defended the Sag of the United States. ■

Announcement that we may stay off the gold standard doesn’t frighten the people. In fact it caused 1 stocks and commodities to increase. . After all most of us don't care what the standard is as long as we have good money and can get hold of sufficient tn keep ourselves and . our families comfortable. I James R. Fleming of Portland. I has been nominated by President J j Roosevelt to be district attorney . 1 for northern Indiana, a selection 1 made by Senator Fred VanNuys > that pleases the thousands of Jim's friends in this section of the state. It is a high honor, a responsible position and one that will be filled with credit by Mr. Fleming. He has practised law many years and is outstanding in his profession. Congratulations to him and to the I people he will serve. Every citizen of Adams county may well feel proud of the record I made this spring in tax paying. With a delinquency of but $17,000 I and a total amount paid in which I is but less than was paid last I fall when rates and valuations were 'higher, indicates that this is one I county where the depression was met by getting down to "brass 'tacks," We are not out of the woods yet but we have found the path and can begin to see the light | that will take us out into the cleariing. A Century of Progress is going on in Chicago. The biggest show, in the world was opened formally i I Saturday by Postmaster Generali ' Farley, who represented President < j Roosevelt. It was a great get-away i j and thousands were awed by the I marvelous display. Every day will' jhe a big one from now on and, iabout every one who can possiblydo so, will manage to spend a few days at least looking over the ex- , position. A message from the Pres:- i ident expressed commendation for! .what has been accomplished the ■past hundred years and predicted] |an even greater record during the j next century. Some confusion continues to ex-1 :ist among the people of Iniana as> to the exact issue involved in the! special election on Tuesday. June 5. Many fail to understand that ; the election is on ratification or i rejection of the proposed twenty- j 'first amendment to the United, States Constitution. This amend-, ment would do away with the I Eighteenth Amendment and pro-j • vide federal aid for the states in j the enforcement of their separate! icontrol regulations. Thus, those voters who desire to have the; Eighteenth Amendment repealed '*lll vote in the column tor ratifi-! jcation of the Tweuty-first Amend-, ment as it appears on the ballot.; Incidentally, this is the first or left I ; column on the ballot. Those favor-' ’ing the retention of the Eighteenth! ! Amendment will vote in the second ! icolumn which will contain the names of candidates committed I against ratification of the Twenty-■ first Amendment. It is well that] : voters acquaint themselves with ’ ithe method of voting in this spec ] ' ial election, because it is a particularly important election. o * TVS entyyeails * AGO TODAY — From the Daily Democrat Fite > ♦ Miss Minnie Orris is in MassiH i lon.

Free use of the small flowered. • dwarf growing, free blooming an- ’ nuals as edgings adds much to the | attractiveness of the flower gard-! cn or border, and of these plants | the sweet alyssum is deservedly < the most popular grown, for itsl snowy sheets of sweet-scented, flowers are a constant delight | until hard freezing.

Alyssum combined with dwarf ageratum makes a beautiful > border. The dainty blue, rose and white] uaise- of the ?»war River Daisy are material for a beautiful airy’ border for more robust plants and • this little annual is deserving of wider use. The dwarf candytufts ! are rivals of the alyssum for snowy whiteness as well as giving I beautiful shades of lilac and carmine. They are invaluable in the flower garden. The beautiful purple rock cross, a perennial. Ls difficult to grow in the United States as it does not! stand our hot summers well, but a good substitute for it and giving much the same effect and having similar flowers is the Virginia stock, a dainty little plant is pink and rose shades. It makes a great sheet of blootr but its chief weak-' ness is that its season of bloom is rather short. Gilia tricolor is another rare and handsome little edging plant. Its tiny cups produced in areat profusion are pale lilac, shading j to yellow in the center with five purple spots. It grows only seven inches tall.

Ball feverfew gives brilliant effect 1 with the dusty millers or Ciner- ’ aria and Centurea for gray con- ‘ trasts. The tufted pansies or bedding voilas are used lavishly | in Bnglish gardens as edging or I carpeting plants and are coming into great popularity here. They ' are more compact in growth than pansies with longer stems and more flowers to a plant while the j range of colors is much the same.

60 Years A Star I WIP 4 T’. nT a® * 4 Dad Whitlock, now 77 years old. is a contortion feature with the Russell Bros, circus. He was recently the subject of Ripley's "Believe It Or Not” cartoon. Perhaps the oldest living arena star known today is "Dad Whitlock.'' He is seventy-six years of age. and has been a performer for more than sixty years. When he is presented to the audiences at the Russell Biol hers Circus, he is leatured. introduced, and his correct age given. After his work is done, and he is ready to leave the ring, he is invariably given an ovation. A kind, gentle, polite, intelligent. harmless man, one who has always lived an exemplary life, "Dad " (as he is familiarly called) is now following the “profession." —not for the salary—but to prolong his life. He seems to realize that if he should quit bis method , of life and work, that his days would soon be numbered. When the Russell Brothers Cir-; cus exhibits for one day. afternoon and night in Decatur. Wednesday, l May 31st, "Dad" Whitlock will be > seen performing feats that many an agile youth in the teens would not even attempt. At first, "Dad” j did not like the idea of having his true age announced to the crowds, but when he was given such ovations as he receives daily, he became reconciled. The youth of the Circus world are liberally represented by ,a' group of the most sensational. I daring performers ever assembled 1 with any one Circus. The sensa-1 tional Pauls seem to be the kings ■ of "dare-devils.” for they do many! hair-raising stunts flying in mid- 1 air without any safety device, or! even a net under them.
