Only 52 years old but holding a record for jrselfish accomplishments that the country has not seen in 152 years, is what makes every American eager to wish President Roosevelt a happy birthday. Anderson suffered from a disastrous fire yesterday, the Citizens Bank building burning with an estimated loss of about a million dollars. Cold weather demands heavy tiring and unless everything is in good shape it doesn't take long for a blaze to ruin the most modern of buildings. The radio announcers are now going the movie actors and actresses one better in having their marital troubles. Graham McNamee. made famous early in the game has taken wife number two, which will be O. K. it he doesn't try to do too much talking around the house. Candidates are announcing every day aud soon you'll be greeted by the scores of men who are seeking party nominations. Now is the time to consider the qualifications candidates have for the office and then vote i : the primary. Unless you are registered you cannot vote. • You have until April 9to qualify. And did it get cold. Just when the days began to get longer and we began to have thoughts of spri g. along comes old man winter I and down goes the theremometer. It reached a tow of al>out four degrees below Sunday night and discounted all those theories that we J didn't have the old fashioned w inters any more. Bluffton paid honor to a distinguished and lovable citizen last week when a community meeting was held to wish Prof. P. A. Allen a happy birthday o j his anniversary. Mr. Allen has been connected with the Bluffton schools for 53 years and is looked upon as the daddy of the public school system in that city. He is a fine gentleman, a sincere workers and has a wonderful record as an educator. Throughout the country great sums wilt be raised from the Birthday balls for the President, the money going to endow Warm Springs Foundation for the treatment of infantile paralysis ami restoring crippled children to their normal state.

It will be put to good use for the President hlmzelf will have the final suy so in the disbursement of the national fund. r The President has demonstrated his unselfish aud thoughtful service to the country und in the case of 1 the Warm Springs Foundation will see that every penny is spent ■ judiciously. 1 The nation-wide observance of President Roosevelt's birthday an- ' nlversary is one of the finest Amer- [ ican jeslures of good-will aud re- , apect every shown in this country. 1 Regardless of politics and religious ’ beliefs everybody joins today in j i extending greeti gs to the chiefi executive and in wishing him suc-| cess during the next three years, i We like the spirit behind the whole thing and are happy to have lived to see the day when the country unites in. paying respect to the person occupying the highest elective office in the world. Death always brings sorrow to Hie loved ones left behind. The living stagger under the blow when it comes and with aching hearts turn to Him for solace and in resignation of the command. “Thy will be done." Taken in the prime of life and with a promising career ahead of him, the sudden death of Ishmael Macy of this city stunned those near ami dear to him. Attaining the respect aud admiration of all who knew him for his manly qualities. Mr. Macy early in life earned laurels in his profession of engineering on account of his ability, sincerity and enthusiasm. As an engineer for the Indiana Public Service Commission he quickly gained that recognition which follows merit. He was likable, bad a pleasant and winning smile, was a young man whom you enjoyed meet ing. He lived as his heart always was. clean and wholesome. Words seem frail in expressing sympathy to his beloved wife, the little daughters and other dear ones. We feel heavy too, but know that all should look up. look up, for oue day there shall we all meet. ♦ - -♦ Answers To Test Questions — Below are the Answers to the j Test Questions Printed on Page Two. 1.

WHISKYTAXIN i! STATE HIGHEST ! Indiana's Tax of $2 A lial-, lon Is Highest In i Country Indianapolis. Jun. 30- 'U.R 1111 high price of legal whisky in Indiami was explained today when it ! was lear ed tHut the slate s tux of 1a gallon is the highest of 12 states where such taxes are levied. I Aud the Hoosier rate cannot txlowered without special action by the legislature, Attorney General Philip Lutz. Jr., revealed. In addition to the slate tax. wholesale liquor jirices in Indiana are higher than those quoted by the federal alcohol co .trol commission. Fear that bootlegging would exist on a large scale in Indiana because of the high tax was expressed in the current issue of state government, magazine of the American Legislators' Association. The 32 levy was passed by the 1933 legislature to procure revenue from prescriptioe whisky. At that time, it was pointed out, national repeal was not immediately contemplated. The desire of Gov. Paul V. McNutt to avoid a special session of the legislature to levy liquor taxes after repeal resulted in the ?2 lax being placed on spiritous liquors. The rate could not be changed without a new law. it was pointed out. Maryland has the next highest, state levy at *l.lO. a survey con ! ducted by >lie magazine showed. 1 States having JI levies are Dela- 1 ware. New Jersey, New York. Wis-1 cousin and Pennsylvania. Rate? of other states are Ari- j zona. Colorado and Missouri, Sill cents; Minnesota 60 cents and { Massachusetts, 40 cents. y Bonded bourbon whisky retails 1 from $3 to JI in Indiana while im-j ported Scotch runs as high as 16 a quart.
