The Democratic Worn** s club Is growing rapidly and each meeting becomes mare interesting than the previous one. It they continue to devote their efforts to helping the party, as is planned, they will do much tor themselves and tor the Democrats in this county and state and will deserve and receive due. consideration, we feel sure. Lieutenant Lowry of Milwaukee was the first army mail pilot to loso his life since the government took over the task of delivering the U. S. mail. It was to be expected ot course that some ot these officers would meet with accident for these are perilous jobs at best and when the weather is as severe as it has been recently it is doubly so. Dennis Striker and Phil Sauer have announced as candidates for renomination as members of the board of county commissioners. Both are serving first terms and the rule here for a long time has been that they be renamed without, opposition. The men have made'

excellent records which may be ! checked by any one interested. Hon. Keith Johns who spoke to! the ladies here last night is one of | the coming young men in the Democratic party of Indiana. His newspaper training and his aptitude for general affairs, his personality and his pep. make him fit his present position as secretary to the state committee. He has numerous friends here who wish him con tinned success. A suggestion has been made that I while CWA labor :s available, the court house ought to be cleaned '

and repainted on the outside. The old brick could be sanded and if I this was done by hand would re- ;■' I quire some fifteen or twenty men ; land all the work could be done 11 with but little outlay for material. Its a splendid suggestion and we r hope it is filed as a project application. j Adams County should send a hundred to the district Democratic meeting at Fort Wayne next Wednesday night. It will be an important event with speeches by numerous leaders including the governor. J congressman and state chairman. j The women will have a delegation I and the men should see that they j do as well. — ( Lew Ellinghatn has received the j appointment as acting postmaster c at Fort Wayne, much to the grab * <i tication of every uue who knows Lew and that includes every Demo ■ crat in the Fourth district and several hundred thousand other Hoot- , ltrs. Just how long he will bo per- I | mittcil to serve without appointment as regular postmaster, we j have no idea but its alright with the folks, it that's as loug as he 1 wants the job. He will prove au . efficient and capable postmaster as he has made good in every job he I ever tackled. RESOLUTION UPON THE DEATH I OF REV. C. P. GIBBS ■ Whereas, Hie Rev. ('. p. Gibbs

was a»-4a»uored member of the Decatur Ministerial Association and a welcome participant in its fellowship during his brief pastorate in our city, and Whereas, he has "endeared himself to Ho all as a man fully accredited ot God and diligently devoted to Hu acred calling of the Gospel ministry, aaid Whereas, the community at large has felt tie influence of his inspiring pr< since and has profited by his splendid example as a citizen. Therefore, lie it. Resolved: 1. That we, the members of the Decatur MinisTirial Association, make this expression of our heartfelt. grief ip his departure from us. and 2. That we pray unitedly and individually for God's Fatherly blessing to be upou his family, to whom be was so deeply devoted, and upon his congregation, to which his last measure of strength and of shepherding cure was given, and That a copy of this resolution be given to his bereaved family, on.- to be seat io the Daily Democrat, ami another to lie spread upon Hie minutes off Xis association. For he was a good man, still of the Holy Ghost and of faith " Chas. J. Roberts, Pres. C. M. Prugh, Sec y.

FAMOUS MUSIC i COMPOSER DIES ' 1 Sir Edward Alger, Master 1 Os King’s Music, Dies i In England j London, Feb. 23—(UP> Sir Ed- J ward Elgar, master of the King’s ’ music und a composer of world re- ' |nowu. died today. He was 76 years old. Many critics believed him one of the greatest of modern day com- • posers. He had been in practical retirement for 13 years, grief stricken at the death of his w ife. Elgar died at his Worchester horn.-, Marl Bank, to which he was removed early in January after he seemed recovering from an abdoni i inal operation lie underwent in Oc- ’ toiler. Saturday his condition became i worse. His death had been expected at any time. I Only two weeks ago, using the telephone lines from his sick bod. he conducted an orchestra which was making a phonographic record of his composition "March from I caratcacue." Immediate plans to pay national honor to Sir Edward were baited | when his daughter revealed that ■ I frequently, in recent mouths, he had asked that there be absolutely i no morning, no flowers, and that he, I be buried privately. Praise-sparing George Bernard Shaw once said of Elgar: "He is the ■ I greatest master of music in the , world— Master of stupendous tone without noise. Elgar called himself a self made musician. Sent as a youth into a lawyer’s .office to study, he pracI tired the violin. H said tills was his only musical education. 1 He was 43 whfti London musical i«pple were astonishes! by his •'variations,” intended to lie character studies of intimate friends. Musicians marvelled at his mastery of contra point. His beet known works were: Pomp and Circumstance marches ' iThe trio of one contained the meI lody whistled over the world as "The-Lad of Hope and Glory,") The dream of Gsrontius. the Apoatles. and The Kingdom, all Oratorios; iA violin concerto; th first and second Symphonies; Salut D’Amour; var-l ious chamber music. He was knighted in PJO2 when Edward Mil ascended the throne. He wrote the official ode for the i coronation. — o ♦—; 1 Soviet Wins Radio Contract Moscow (I T Pi The Soviet government has concluded a contract j with the Turkish republic to erect*! a 150-kilowatt radio station at An kara.
