Indiana League of Home Dallies. And we've seen coal dealers smile these past few days. President Roosevelt said his 52nd birthday anniversary was his happiest and we believe him. A little more snow and signs that ■winter Is hanging on, which is not unusual for this section of the country. Here it is February—the month of the ground hog, Valentines, Washington’s and Lincoln's birthdays. The season of Lent is less than two weeks away, which is to say that Easter will be here before you know it. Dillinger may be a bad man but a woman sheriff has charge of him at Crown Point and she says she can handle a machine gun. It would be a fine thing if some organization took up a tree planting campaign in this community. There are many places in and near the city where trees could be grown and in years to come the spots would be havens for birds and attractive to the eye. In the meantime discourage cutting down of any beautiful and useful tree.

Have you thought up something in the way of a permanent improvement that might be made under the CWA? It the 500 men now on the CWA employment roll can be carried through the next three months it will not only help them but be a boost to all lines of .business. Get the old thinking cap working and consult with the local I administrators as to your plans. Agriculture authorities are now talking about a plan to tax surplus farm production. They point out the advantages of a plan of this kind compared to the present policy of paying benefits for curtailing production and before things are adjusted the country may be try-

ing the tax plan. It doesn’t sound so bad and may be the real way to equalize the old law of supply a :d demand. Those Russian balloonists who set a new record for attaining the highest altitude record, also encountered the greatest fall known. Their gondola broke lose from the stratosphere balloon and they came tumbling down to earth, failing through 12 miles of space. A terrible tragedy, but still we’ll go on exploring what’s above us.

treasury In the Hoover cabinet Is out with a speech against the New Deal und President Rooievelt's policies. He la try'.g to groom , himself for the Republican nomination for president lu 1936, but chances are he will be so far out 1 of line with the general thought of the people that he’ll fall by the wayside unnoticed. He may bo able und all that, but is out of tune. It wont be long until the township start out on their annual job to assess personal property. Under the new Indiana laws, intangibles and book accounts nre not assessed any more as personal property, a stamp tax being paid on the former and the book accounts coming in under the gross: Income tax law. About the only thing listed now includes household goods, merchandise, store fixtures, automobiles and the like. The annua! report of County Clerk Werling shows that much business was transacted in the Ad-

. ams Circuit Court last year. A toi tai of 623 cases, including 355 carried over from the year before were filed and 227 were disposed of, i I leaving 396 on the docket. Cases I venued here from other counties totaled 43, while the number sent to other courts from here totaled only 14. The clerk collected 322,816.54 during the year, of which $19,969.52 was trust funds. Fees collected amounted to about SSOO and the 498 marriage licenses i netted $996 for the county. It is estimated that about four ■ million dollars will be obtained from the birthday parties staged throughout the country Tuesday I night in observance of President 1 Roosevelt's 52nd birthday. That's great. All the money will be used to endow the Warm Springs Foun- ’ dation and the President in ex--1 pressing his appreciation to the > people emphasized the good that the money would do in extending the facilities of the health insti- ! tution to hundreds of crippled children. It was a great cause, nobly . met by true Americans. . Prompt trial of the. Dillinger . gangsters and imposition of maxi-1 I mum penalties the law provides . for their various crimes should go : far to dissipate a rather serious i case of gang ‘‘jitters” in this part :

of the country. No one is optim- I'l istic enough to believe that elim-j ination of this group will automat-1 ( ically end bank robberies and other ’, major holdups. The effect, how-; ever, will be most salutary. This gang will not have so many imi-1 tutors it capital punishment is ini-1 posed on the leaders for killing law 1 enforcement officers—lndianapolis i I Star. * Household Scrapbook —BY—ROBERTA LEE ♦ -4 Window Sills If all the window sills are waxed ; it will protect them from rain and > I dust.

Ma y city dwellers are deprived] of the fresh vegetables they would i)jit e to have because they think they haven't enough space to grow them. If y<»” are one of t ’ ,ose who live in a small home or apartment, and really want a garden of your own, perhaps there is no reason why you can't have oee. No piece of ground, however small or poor, is wholly unfit to accommodate some kind of a gard- ‘ en. Even a space five by five feet square can produce all the radishes and lettuce a family of five can eat. To grow them is no work at all. ‘ and what a lot of fun. to say nothj- g ot the conversation it inspires with friends. And the contribution . it makes to the menu TTJlect a location with as much . sunlight as possible. Sun from , nine o'clock in the morning until j three o'clock in the afternoon is . needed for most vegetables. Many ! city gardens in congested areas, . however, do : ot get this amount of

A perfect soil is seldom found, however, and all soils must be con-; i stantly built and rebuilt if they are to be used every year. So your problem with a poor soil isn’t in-, surmou: table after all, and can be ; easily solved by the use of com-; mercial fertilizers, peat moss, or, its home equivalent, compost, and a little limestone, perhaps, to j loosen up a sticky soil. j Good drainage is a necessity of ■ which the gardener should assure himself before he attempts to plant his ground. No garden vegetables will grow in conditions which per- •: mit of a wet, soggy soil where the puddles after raiks do not drain : off quickly. Such a condition bars i i a piece of ground from use as a ') garden until it has been corrected. Although the small garden is
