If you haven't registered, you should do so and without much more delay. Already as many have done so as voted two years ago, but there are still quite a number who can qualify if they wish to do so. It won't be long now until the referees at the recent basketball tournaments may safely emerge from their hiding places and be just as sate as the umpires at the world series are a week afterwards. It's going to be a difficult job to secure election boards this year with the large list of candidates for no relative closer than a third cousin can legally serve. And with the large ballots it is important that the boards be composed of capable and speedy members. The Republican patters continue to insist that all public affairs should be operated ou a merit basis or under civil service, a plan however that is immediately discarded when they are in. It's jiolitical bunk to a large degree and is evidence of a lack of real issues. It costs but $2.50 per year to belong to the Decatur Chamber of Commerce and every one who desires improvement here and a continued march of progress, should be happy to be a member of this organization, designed solely to help every one. Remember the warning of the police as regards bicycle riding, roller skating and throwing stones at the light shades. The orders are to see that the ordinances as regards these things be strictly enforced that danger and damage fuay be averted. Smoking in bed is dangerous, as

evidenced again by the suffocation in his room of Ward Sweers, at Port Wayne. Many make themselves comfortable in bed, get a book or paper, light a cigarette and proceed to enjoy themselves until they drop to sleep and then they are lucky It the lighted "cig" doesn’t drop down and set fire to the paper or bedding and in a few minutes its too late to do any thing. Another thing to put on the ‘‘be careful" list, It is claimed that the old fashioned county fair will come back in Indiana this year. Already in numerous counties the activities have started and thousands will again enjoy the races, the corn and pumpkin shows, the midways and all the other features that for many years made these events the great reunions. There is something about a county fair that you can't get any where else and the average person will appreciate the tendency for a come-back. Al Smith, fearless leader, lias resigned as editor of New Outlook magazine, giving press of business as the reason. The great fighter perhaps realizes that being an editor, especially when one has decided ideas on public questions and a following such as he enjoys, is not easy and it no doubt interferes considerably with his other plans. His retirement is regretted for his i articles have been filled with logic and reading interest. The Chamber of Commerce will urge the paving of highway 224 by the state highway commission and that's right and proper. We have waited long on this improvement and have had repeated promises. We understand that the commission is having trouble these days building new roads because of the fact that so much has beeu assigned to repair work that will employ the greatest number of men and that fact will of course be taken into consideration. However we also know that those communities which make the largest effort are sure to receive the most benefits and there should be no let-up in our requests for the improvement of No. 224. This road was improved from Huntington east to Markle last year and the stretch between there and here is the only one across the state. Let's go after it.

MORE VICTUALS I FOR PRISONERS Ruling by Attorney General Says Prisoners Must Be Well Fed Indianaipolls, Mar. 24— (U.R) ” prisoners in Indiana county jails who have been scantily fed by sheriffs call expect to get more and better food in the future 10l lowing a ruling by Attorney General Philip Lutz, Jr. Lutz, in an opinion to William Cosgrove, chief examiner of the stale board* ot accounts, set out that county prisoners must be well foil and adequately housed. He stated that the expense for such care can legitimately be collected from the county treasurer. Reports that sheriffs, whose former allowance of 40 cents per day for each prisoner was removed by the 1933 legislature, had been cutting down meals to a "starvation" basis had been received by Cosgrove. Cabbage, hominy and molasses were found to be the favorite meals at many county jails. On receipt of the opinion, Cosgrove wrote all sherifts, informing them that commissioners can legitimately appropriate and expend funds for better care of prisoners. o EDUCATOR MAY REFUSE CASE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) is trying to understand the fact that the people of this country have not sensed their danger before this," be declared. "All along administration spokesmen and members of the brain trust have been admitting that their object is a revolution in government business and private afairs." “President Roosevelt’s real friends have failed him. Representative government in our county is dead. Americans must awaken and decide whether Democracy is to be killed and whether a government by propaganda shall rise in its place.” o Great Lakes Yachtsmen Turn To Sailing Vessels SANDUSKY, O. 4U.R) — Navigation of sail boats on Lake Erie is expected to reach a new modern peak during 1934. Revival of the ancient art of sailing began during the depression years when lake boaA owners found the use of power boats somewhat expensive. The return of the trim canvas-topped craft reminded old-timers here of the days before the age of speed had extended to the waters of the inland lakes. Sail boating lacks the dash and noise of speed boating, but recent devotees have found it more suited to pleasure cruising. Membership in the Sandusky Sailing Club has increased more than 506 per cent in recent years. The Sandusky Club is affiliated with the Inter-Lake Yachting Association and plans to enter the big lake events this year. "Other sail boat groups have been organized In Port Clinton, Vermillion. Lorain, Toledo and other Lake Erie ports recently.
