This is the last week to tile intentions to be a candidate for nomination in the primaries with indications that the Democratic ticket will be well tilled and in some cases the crock seems to be running over. Register this week or you can't vote in the primary election. Surely Jpu are willing to make that small effort to qualify for the great irivilege of taking part in the selection of the m- .< who will conduct affairs of the greatest importance to you. Up tb Saturday evening 136 candidates had tiled in Adams county and by the end of this week, with candidates for committeemen, delegates, supervisors and others added. it will probable reach 200, which means you will have quite a ballot to look over when election day arrives. Jack Edwards, mayor of Marion, is out for renomination and election and that means whoever his opponents are, will know they liave a campaign on. Jack does things iff away to attract attention and is a vote getter, as he has demonstrated every time he has been before the public. The General Electric, always among the first to aid the nation in any movement for the betterment of every one, announces a ten per cent wage increase and that's not going to be hard for their employes to take. It's coming and soon we will be latighing at those who cry depression, communistic government or any other silly chatter. The more Dillinger gets over the country, the more the public is convinced that what he did in Ohio and Indiana ne is likely to do in

In his battle at p St. Paul ho returned shot for shot until tiw opportunity came for him to slip out and disappear. t The improved conditions here are manifested again in the rejuirt ’■ of the First Stale Hank, recently 1 published, showing total resources of *1,110,178.18 and a healthy * growth since the last report of 9 U three months ago. The bank is 5 liquid with cash and government J bonds of more than *360.000 and 5 0 other bonds of over *200,000. The ) First State Ins riden the waves and deserves every confidence, as is being given. | The CWA is gone, closing a career of a year last Saturday. What would we have done without it? Millions were given the oppor--1 tunily to earn an honest living and it did more to bring back confidence to the "forgotten man" than any . thing that has happened in the past memorable year. It will be a followed by FERA. which is a permanent employment plan that is expected to forever ban such a thing as 12,000.000 men out of work. r Every one here appreciates the 1 extraordinary efforts made by the : city light and power force and the 1 telephone crew in restoring service after the disastrous sleet storm last week. By Friday night they had every section of the city taken care of. most of the rural lines and telephone connection was restored 1 on the toll lines. Unless you are in 1 close touch with those who do ibis ■ work you have no idea what it 1 . means to wor.t under such circua- . stances. Its about the toughest proposition we know of and we congratulate those in charge and those - who assisted them. It was splen did i ... — Attorney General Lutz, who rul- . ed recently that under the new law. meals could not be charged by the „ county- sheriff for prisoners and j that It would be necessary for (the county commissioners to make all purchases an 1 operate the kitchen . and dining rooms, has reversed that ruling and the plan used for years, 1 will continue, thus solving what • appeared to be a tough problem i over the state. Feeding prisoners I at twenty cents a meal is not like - ly to make anybody rich and is - perhaps the most economical plau that can be arranged. Mr. Lutz be lieves that when one is convinced ’ he is wrong, he should change bis 1 opinion and that's what the public - believes. o

Not many people are acquainted with thta fact and others would not believe it if they were told, but It Is true. It means millions of dollars to the state, and Kirkland Township is entitled to a share of this money. I have made application for this state aid which will mean *6O for each grade school and about *3OO for the hltth school. I have paid one thousand dollars on the special school debt of Kirkland Township, and also kept the school buildings in good condition. All the school buildings will need a certain amount or repair, so the state aid money will corns in handy. This does not mean the money the state will pay every township from the gross sates or excise and income taxes. It means out of the state fund of which the schools of the southern part of the state where the valuation of the township i* very low or where they could not raise a good crop or ragweeds, are able to operate. latst fall the furnace In the high school went bad. 1 last a great deal of sleep over this, but do not know how the advisory board felt about it Mr. Shady advised me to consult Lieehty Brothers of Berne. The advisory board and li met representatives of Use company at Kirkland. The company recommended a new cell at a low coat if the furnace would stand leaning. The furnace was scaled about an inch thick. Mr. B. W. Devor of Decatur had already made himself known to do this kind of work. Thanks to Mr. Devor and the good janitor for their fine wot* in cleaning out tii« furnace. We now have a furnace that will be good for the next twelve or fifteen years if properly taken care of. About three months later the furnace in the gym went to pieces. Not a single part was in condition to be used any longer so li was forced to get a new rurnace equipped with a fan for over there. The north room at the Peterson School was furnished with sash and glass, with screen inside and out. These windows were knocked out years ago and I replaced them the first year that I was in office. The athletic department at the high school had been in debt for several years—and not a small amount either. We formed an organization and thanks to William Scherry, Fred Adler, and Sam Henschsn for their good work as the debt is now paid off and there is a small balance besides. From those who have been acquainted wtth the affairs of the school it tias been said that the needs of the township have been cared for efficiently and yet economically. These are a few points that I would like to put before you regarding my first three years as trustee. lAs I am a candidate for reelection I can truly say that if elected. I can do more and better work than il have been doing. The special school debt should be paid oft in the next few years. With state aid, funds from gross sales, income, and evcise taxes tor teachers a great deal of benefit will come to Kirkland Township. Respectfully yours, Daniel Sdherry, trustee, Route 4 Decatur, Indiana. — o Queer Fish Found Tyler. Tex. (U.K—Perhaps Moth er Nature has become SJRA conscious. A peculiar fish, carrying red. white and blue stripes across the tail and similar colorings on its curved fins, was found by Ben L. Smith while seining for minnows near here. Smith suggests it be named the “New Deal" or "Blue Eagle" fish. o War on Match Strikers Montreal —(UP) —Proprietors of buildings on St. James Street, Montreal's "Wall Street." are thinking seriously ot declaring war against -careless matchstrikers. They complain that smokers are marring tbe appearance of their buildings .by striking matches on the walls and windows, and are planning to post guards to caUli culprits and have them arersted.
