Go to the county clerk's office or get in touch with the assessor or one of the deputy registration officers. ThcQt’WA paid out over a hundred thousand dollars to workers of Adams county the past few months and it is needless to say, that this fund brought cheer to huudreds. No similar effort ever came close to doing the great good that this one did here and elsew here. Jimmy Adams, popular chairman of the state highway commission, is hack at his desk after an absence of several weeks, the result of illness. During his absence his duties have been well cared for by Evans B. Stozenberg. a member of the commission who acted as chairman. Mr. Adams expects to continue at his job though Jet haps he may have to keep his speed geared down for a while. One of the matters which seems to have been overlooked by candidates is the tiling of candidates for advisory boards in each township. Although we elected here two years ago the last legislature passed a law which says that these as well as all other township officials must be elected in 1934 and each four years thereafter. This means that we must elect advisory boards this year. The Lake county grand jury has indicted Deputy Sheriff Blunk and Sam Cahoon, a trusty, for aiding the escape of John Dillinger, for which action they deserve much Credit. The advisability of trying to score officials, county and state, Is doubtful. Usually it is better when an investigating body makes a clean report as to those who have grossly violated the law, as was -true by those who aided in the bandits escape. The rest of the report or at least much of it, would

probably have been just as effective It thrown in the waste basket. The tragic death ot Dallas Wertz berger has brought sadness to the f many wh<f knew him here and held him tn high regard. He was one I of the Decatur young men who went into the great southwest . when ft was new territory and ■ made good. He engaged in the ’ building of oil derricks and accumulated a fortune which he used to ! aid the city ot Tulsa where he made | his home. He gave children parks i and otherwise donated liberally to 1 assist the poor and unfortunate. I Os wonderful personality he was i welcome in any crowd and his visits home always brought happiness. We join in extending the sympathies of this community to the sorrowing relatives. Charles O. Borst of the legal department of the Federal Land Bank ot Louisville writes as. "It is just too bad that a few of our Democratic pa;wr 9 do not realize just w hat a great thing the Federal Isind bank's part of the New Deal is. If you knew that one hundred and twenty-five lawyers are examining abstracts and that the bank is loaning fifteen to twenty million dollars per month to the farmers lof Indiana. Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee, from just this one bank, and that the majority of these loans are dis'reused loans and each J loan means ‘the old farm saved.' : then the public would appreciate what the New Deal means to the farmers.” Thanks, Mr. Borst Thanks to you, we know what the Federal Land Bank of Louisville is doing to help the farmers of Indiana and other states. And we do appreciate what the New Deal is doing for the farmers. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. There is a sincere and general feeling of regret over the unfortunate ending of Milton Werling’s efforts to uncover a counterfeit nest in Chiiago, which was his defense. No young man in the county has had greater popularity and the entire affair has shocked every one. Apparently the undisputed fact that he was in possession of the "green goods’" or rather in a car in which SSOO of the counterfeit money was found, made conviction necessary and the court was not inclined to | accept excuses, however plausible I they may have been. In this case I Judge Sullivan seems to still have some doubt, sufficient to order an investigation into the "family traits” of Werling. Just what that I means, we do not know, but the family for many decades has stood high in this county and there can he nothing but good reports from thqge who make inquiry. In the meantime the affairs at the county clerk s office is proceeding with Mr. Werling being assisted by his wife and sister. . o

If there is one thing in which i successful gardeners agree it's that plants need food. Proses-I sionals and amateurs alike have witnessed the amazing results obtained through regular feeding of | plants, and the amateur gardener may well include the feeding of plants among his regular garden practices. An effort to obtain the very best knowledge of how and what to feed plants is likely to prove confusing. A certain garden writer will recommend one thing, the local seed dealer another, while the landscape man something entirely different. That's because they have often obtained their information by the trial and error method under specific conditions, and while they have individually had good success, those who follow their advice de not always obtain equal results. There is one method of plant feeding that is preferred by a majority of successful gardeners. It has several advantages over other methods, the most important of which are its simplicity, and its positive results. The scientific way of feeding plants is gaining in preference steadily over the pet methods of individuals which call for a handful of this and a handful of that and a pinch of something else if conditions seem to warrant. Just as cookery experts have abandoned the old guesswork method in favor of exact recipes which give known results, so gardeners- are- turning to scientific plant feeding with complete, balanced plant food. Today, anyone can be sure that they are supplying their garden friends with all of the plant food elements they need for greater beauty. No longer need the gardener worry that bacterial actiSh in the soil will not be quick enough to make the

I Here is the new way of feeding ! j' plants which gives such sure re-1 ’ suits: .' 1. t Don't overfeed plants. Four' i' pounds of complete plant food per i s i 100 square feet of lawn or garden | . - area is the right amount to use in c 1 spring. More is wasteful and I 1 sometimes harmful. p 2. In feeding established lawns, i ■■ j be sure the grass is dry—not damp ' 11 from dew or rain. As soon as the p ‘ grass is dry in the morning is the I-i, best time to apply plant food to t' the established lawn. 1, 3. Always mix the plant food e j thoroughly with the top few inches i

of soil before seeding a lawn or garden. It is advisable, but not necessary, to wait a day before planting. 4. Keep the plant food off stalks and stems of established planta If some gets on plants.
