Jump in your car tomorrow, gather up a load and drive to Fort Wayne for the big Democratic meeting. It's <he opener for the Fourth district and will be worth attending. The ground hog has ns thorough-1 ly convinced that lie knows his | stuff, and can make us fellers who I take him lightly realize that it I doesn't pay. We admit his prowess | and hope he won't go any farther I ..r. to prove he can do it. The past week seems to have' liven a very tough one for the air Ar< ■ .- ■ th--rs jrnd that pertains to both many Snd commercial aerialists. ♦« * tM course all of these men are ex- . piirls at their work but the past ten <Eys “have been unusually tough 1 — ojes for those who travel tile air. . The terrible accident in which eight < people lost their lives when their i ship fell in the mountains of the Salt Lako Valley, was the worst in : a year or more.

*The meeting al Fort Wayne tomorrow <i' ning will , t -. 'AI- tnocrattc workers and hoosiers from each of the counties in the fourth I’migressioiial district. Governor • McNutt, Congressman Farley and i State Chairman Carl McCulloch will | sffeak at this opening of the import-1 apt campaign, (let there early and j gel a front seat. The curtain goes uji at eight o'clock at Catholic Community Center. “Every baseball fan in the conntoy will regret the passing of John McGraw, veteran player and manager of the New York Giants. Recognized as one of the most ydorful leaders of the great national sport and as a manager of ft re ability, he iiad for years atftactnl attention. His team had Hon ten national league and three World championships, a record that n,iay never be equaled again. - acre farm of Warren T. jl' Cray, former governor of Indiana and at one time considered the leading Hereford breeder of the Tinted States, has been sold to •• I Arthur Baxter, Indianapolis financier, for’ $105,000, an average of about $42 per acre. It’s a bargain «>f course and Baxter will make a good profit on his deal. McCray bid up to that figure and then asked a continuance to permit him to arrange the payments, but this was denied and the finest farm in Indiana went at the low figure. The ex-governor made a gallant fight to conic buck but even at the low figure he rest-cured it for, was unwork out. He had issued

and sold preferred stock for 2392,• 000, showing at least an aptitude tor that means of doing business. ——- r " -J Some one who signs himself "One of the Kickers," writes he will accept the challenge to get county counellmeii out “If you leave us select the majority of It to have a working force." We don't just get the inference as to the "you." These councilmen are selected by districts and any one who so desires has a 'ight to tile as a candidate. So far as we know, no individual or group has any authority to name these candidates any more than they have any others. It's open to any one who can qualify, so get in and let the voters decide it. The President's notation, on signing the 110,900.000 crop production loan bill, that it should be “considered as a tapering-off loan and should the last of its kind" will be hailed as encouraging news. Congress last year appropriate 2100.000,000 for crop production loans and the President points out. it resulted in a "large loss to the government.'' There is no doubt that many who tool; advantage of the Federal offer may have been greatly in need of assistance from some source but were not entitled to be considered as good credit risks for the money advanced to them, it is no secret that many who have hud seed loans, crop production loans and other advances from Washington have used some of the money

to pay notes at the bank and foi other purposes not on the original program. The President believes loans to farmers should be handled through The associations that have been established for that service. He is right in that contention.—lndianapolis Star. o • TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Dally Democrat File ♦ ♦ Fob. 27 ’ — William Zimm.rman inov♦». Peterson. i.Mrs. T. H.

It will not | i be used if you prefer that it I not be • 4 Decatur Airport The purpose of the following discussion is to create more enthusiasm and also help make it somewhat clearer to those wlio may be in doubt as to the proposeil Decatur airport. Sometime ago it was suggested, in order to furnish work for CWA, that airports be built ail over the U. S. Upon the passing of this program certain progressive towns and cities were granted the right to have such an improvement. Among

those approved was Decatur. The possibility of having an air- 1 port depends entirely on * the expense. The government requires the City, to obtain a five year lease on a I field favorable situated and passed upon by a government inspector. I The possibilities of enlarging the ■ field in the future also have to be i taiken into consideration. The field has already been chosen and passed on by government officials. Upon obtaining a ifve year lease and a suitable location, a number 1 of CWA workers smooth, tile and ' ; work the ground nto a smooth runway necessary to facliiate the land- ‘ ing of planes. Other than giving Decatur an

airport as are many cities in this: part of the state are doing, it would ; answer the problem of local CWA ■ employment. Now seems the right time to take advantage of an opportunity as this , and save the trouble in the future., it is very evident that this will be '■ I the case and that such an improve- ' inent to prosperous cities would reappear in several years time. j 'lf this were made possible through the cooperation of the business men and the help of every enthusiast in Decatur by talking this up to the extent of making it self evident to the city as a whole that such a project would better it, I am sure there would be some local plane owners. With the government proposing in to build about It),QUO new planes ' selling at about S7OO. the number of planes in every community i wuold naturally be increased. There are now about 7,000 licensed plaues for miscellaneous flying in this i country. From these figures you can soon see the increas in flying Trusting that you will give this a , thought and talk it up. we will give . you further information. Air-Minded ARRIVALS Mrs. Mary V.

MORE INTEREST , IN 4-H CLUBS! 39,016 Boys And Girls Enrolled In Stale l-ll Clubs In 1933 Lafayette. Ind., Feb. 27. I Spec lab — Continued growth ami in creasing Interest in Hi .dub work in Indiana is reflected in the teport of 1933 activities released to- I day from state headquarters al Pur-i due University, which reveals that j there was 39.016 different individuals enrolled in the various pro-1 jects during the year, as com par-1 ed with 35.941 in 1932. Os the 39. | iH6'dub members, which included ■ 13,15 b boys and 25.866 girls, an unusually high number. 32.691. completed their projects. Some idea of the scope of the club work during the year is given by a summary of the projects, lit swine work, the youngsters raised , 10,512 animals, while in corn the) ; handled 11.760 acres on which they | produced 5'5.706 bushels. In pel tato work. 83.672 bushels were pro-j duced on 869 acres, while 88,767 birds were raised in poultry work. There were 1.911 animals in the dairy project. 1.167 animals in beef. 12,162 animals in lamb, and 228 ani-, mals in the colt project. Among; the other agricultural activities ( were tl>e garden, orchard, farm , management and miscellaneous pro-1 Ijects. In the home economies projects. ; 2,635 were eprolled in food prepa-1 ration. 4.866 in baking, 1.628 in I canning, and 17,914 in clothing, every project showing a substantial gain There were also substantial ■ gains in enrollment in both the junior leadership and health projects for both boya and girls. The 4-H club work was conducted in every county of the state, with I the average enrollment per county i jumping to 424.2 from the 390.6 1 mark set in 1932. The average en- ; rollment of boys per county was i 143, and of girls 281.2.

Old Car Good Enough? Say, just ride in a ’34 YOU’LL chage your mind about holding on to the old car the very first time you get behind the wheel of a Nineteen Thirty-four. Are these new jobs smooth and smart and comfortable? And can they “travel”? Even if you aren't going to buy at present, you should read the automobile advertisements appearing in this newspaper. It’s an excellent way to keep up to date on what the spring salons are showing. There are important developments in styling and engineeringinteresting features pictured and described — which contribute to new riding ease, new safety, beauty and e-c-o-n-o-m-y. Economy is an important point in these messages from leading automobile manufacturers.... Exceptional values, long life, unusual freedom from repairs, low fuel and oil consumption! Economy is the reason they advertise in this newspaper, for here they can reach you and many other logical and intelligent car buyers at a minimum cost per person. Read the advertisements in this newspaper as an economy measure. They save time, energy, money . . . and even now are pointing out that owning a luxurious, up-to-the-minute motor car is often more economical than maintaining an old one.

ford • Eranchot Tone nuptials but the incident of the wedding veil gives Jonn the biggest laugh. Within the last wick, several writers and at least one airchatterer have broadcast the fact that Adrian. M. G. M 's stylist. is making the Crawford wedding veil. He did. that’s

true, but Joan wore it only to pose . for a picture that will subsequently ( adorn the June cover of a fan mag- ( azine. She didn't even have to don a bridal gown. All they wanted was , her head and shoulders. Furthermore. Joan recommends ■ that the chatterers read up on their Emily Post. For a svrond wedding, the bride does not wear a veil. t I This star is building a theater in the back yard of her home. It will ’ be small but fully equipped to put on amateur productions. Joan ha been talking plays for months now. She wanted to do “Autumn Crocus” with Francis Lederer, but the I woman’s part was unsuitable. The studio won’t let her go long enough to appear in a successful play anyway. Says Joan: “I’m going to act behind the loutlights. though, if 1 have to do it in my own back yard.” There is a orojection-room in the home of almost every important Hollywood star, but Ramon Novarro is the only otber one v> have a private theater. The irrepressible Harry Ruskin. Paramount writer, will always break a lance for the suppression of unnecessary dignity. For weeks now, he has plotted against Gertrude Michael’s butler. Yesterday, the Raskin sense of humor broke out in the following wire: “Dear Gertrude: Butler said you were tight. How did he knJW?
