You can tell your children that February 1934 was one of the coldest on record and if they don’t believe it, go to the newspaper tiles and prove it. Up town business houses are filling up. new stores are opening. That’S a sign of life and that this community is the place to do businessUv Nojiiing is accomplished without effort and enthusiasm for the job. If you're doing anything and don't „ receive some degree of pleasure from It, time and effort are wasted. Stores are already displaying paint up and clean up signs and reminding everyone that spring cleaning days are just around the i mner. — Dr. Wynekoop told her story to the jury yesterday and if that body bMieves it, the aged doctor may have a chance. Anyway she stuck to- her story, believe it or not. April 7 has been fixed as the last day an which to file declarations of camUdacy with the county clerk. Beginning March 9, intentions may be tiled and then up until the dead liue. Those young fellows who came <lpwn from Fort Wayne to play basketball yesterday with the St. Jw boys were a tine lot and to them tlie eighth grade tourney was a lot more important than the tariff or code questions, or even the state championship contest. Indiana had an execution the other day at Michigan City prison, a young man being electrocuted lor the murder of his wife. Gruesome affairs, but so is murder and iitiiil states forbid capital punishiffent the death penalty will be inll feted. Lieutenant-Governor Cliff Townsend will speak at the loth annual farmer’s banquet at Monroe next Monday night. Governor Townsend knows the farmer’s problem, is conversant with every phase of the several plans instituted by Federal and state governments to assist the farmer and his talk will

prove most Interesting. Tickets for the dinner may be purchased for only 25 cents and a crowd of 250 is expected at the meeting. The dairy business is improving, according to the president of National Dairies. Although stocks on hand, which were attributed as the cause of the great slump in market price -'several months ago, are heavy, they have been reduced and the outlook Is brighter for this important Industry during the coming months. The Daily Democrat's 34th annual subscription campaign closes tonight. It was one of the most successful in the one score and 13 years of continuous publication of tin- home daily. Meeting conditions ami desiring to cooperate with the loyal family of readers the publishers extended a special renewal offer to mail subscribers during January and February and nearly every one whose subscription was due took advantage of IL Thanks to all. Indiana's hardwood classic is under way and the eyes of the fans are centered on the teams in the sectional tourneys. The opening game saw 773 schools and 9,276 certified players lined up for the whistle. Out of the sectional con-' tests, 64 teams will emerge vic I tors, privileged to play in the re- i gional basketball meets, in the state contest 16 teams will be represented and then Indiana will know what’s king sport over Hoosierdoiu. Dan Tyndall as president and, Jess Rice as secretary will head the Decatur Chamber of Commerce the coming year. Both men have demonstrated their interest and I loyalty to the community and their I desire to help -promote its welfare. Supported by a representative, board of directors, the officers stand ready to serve the communityin any way and hope the opportunity presents itself so they can deliver real service. Helpful suggestions and a cooperative spirit on the part of all is always conducive to the beset interests of the community and in that the officers and directors unite in making their plea to those who wish to help. Many farmers in this county are taking advantage of the corn hog reduction -program and will receive! cash benefits in signing the govern-. ment's agreement. It is estimated - that the average payment will be I about $l5O and based on -2,000 farmers in this county, total benefits which might be obtained would amount to nearly $300,000. Os course that will not be the case as I all farmers are not eligible ami some do not desire to sign up. Delore making final determination in the matter it might be to a farmer's aidvantage to consult with the county agent or township commitlees in charge of the campaign. We don’t agree with the bill which congress is now considering to limit beet sugar acreage in the United States. The making of sugar from beets in this country is one industry that does not produce a surplus. The crop gives the farmer a now market at good prices and provides employment for thousands of people. A reduction of acreage would mean limiting plant operations of sugar factories and in some cases -prevent running at. all. Congressmen and senators from the 22 beet growing states are calling attention to the harmful results to the Industry provided in the bill and It is believed some change will be made before it becomes a law. _ u Dry Advocate Found Springfield, Mo. — <U.R) —America can not expect prosperity until it is dry again, according to Edward Everett Blake, Chicago prohibitionist, who said in an address here that the spirit of prohibition "is not dead, but merely sleeping." Gasoline in Tar Sand Chemists of the University of Alberta ha’-e developed a hydro-gen oration process with which gasoline can be extracted from tar sands of j that portion of Canada. '
