They will fool around with these strikes until the public goes on a strike and refuses to purchase new -cars and then there will be trouble. again.. Old Man Winter is like Old Man Impression, it takes more than one or two little punches to knbck him - out. Al) we can do is to keep at I it until we are sure they have taken the count. The adding of 191 men on tile . homestead project, will not hurt a thing and ought to make it much better for every one here as it more 1 than takes care of the relief list' and takes up the general slack in unemployment. Instead of saying destructive j things against President Roosevelt' and Governor McNutt, the good i c. izen who really wants to see ■ this country restored to a pros-j porous condition, should be boosting. At least you must admit they are trying and that’s something. Boys and girls who skate on the sidewalks and streets or who race their bicycles amidst traffic, should , remember they are taking serious j chances in these days of speedy j automobiles. You can't be too care-1 ~. ful because some times the others * are not. •> We like the fighting spirit of . Governor McNutt and eventually » he will win back the high favor he * held before the dirty rumors were started. When a man knows he is right, lie can put up a real scrap and that’s what the chief executive is duing. The registration period will soon be over. Have you qualified so you can vote? More than 9,000 in this coppty have but there are still a * few who are out. If you will get « in touch with the precinct deputy, the 'county clerk or the township assessor, you can still register with but little difficulty. The city plants show a profit of nearly thirty thousand dollars for last year, which is splendid for the plants also carried many items of overhead, furnished the best street lights of any small city in the middle west and otherwise aided this community. And besides this it should be remembered that there was a large reduction in the amount of taxes collected. It's a worthwhile showing and we congratulate those who deserve the credit. A month from now the old primary campaign will be going some. By that time the weaker candidates‘will probably be lost sight of wliije the stronger ones will be heading for the stretch, using every thing they have. Keep her going boys, but remember to keep it clean. Good Democrats should not support those who are willing to destroy the party to win. Decatur was visited by oue of

Dillinger's gangsters yesterday but he was guarded by a bunch of state policemen, so there was no great danger He was on his way back to Michigan City, from Lima, Ohio, where he testified against Russell Clark, charged with murder and identified him as one of the men of the party..' The prisoner here was Edward Shouse, who has evidently turned state's evidence to save his own skin.. The President has worked hard on a difficult job the past week, that of averting a strike that will at least cause a serious set-back in the campaign to restore economic conditions. It seems foolish that he must go through this. Surely every one realizes how important it is that every one uses plenty ot good common sense in these days, but there are always those who insist on standing pat. regardless of the results. Suppose we must just take whatever happens and try to keep on smiling. The Chamber of Commerce wants you to be a member and you should want to be. This organization has only one desire aud that is to help every one in this community. There are many ways to do this and it's easier if the membership is large. Dan Tyndall is the president and assisted by his board of directors and members ot the various committees will strive to make this a banner year for the association. There were only 124 members last year but it is hoped to increase that to two hundred or more this year. The membership fee is only $2.50. | Household Scrapbook —BY—ROBERTA LEE Shoe Bags Tack a shoe bag to the inside of' each bedroom closet door.

Only Slight Drop In Dope Smuggling Seen BELOIT, Wis. (U.R) — Twelve years of work in the federal bureau of narcotics has convinced Miss Mary C. Whelan that present methods used to counteract smuggling dope are futile. Miss Whelan recently returned to Beloit, her home town, and now is the city’s first woman lawyer. "There has been no decrease in dope traffic despite a continual drive," she said. "Addicts should he handled as medical, rather titan criminal, cases. We must destroy the market by finding a medicinal substitute for drugs.” Miss Whelan served as assistant narcotic agent in New York and nine months in 1927 was in complete charge of the office. She has had numerous encounters with underworld characters and admitted that she also had several opportunities to go into the dope business.
