A gypsy woman told a Fort Wayne man he was sick and picked ; a five dollar bill from his pocki\ after which he knew doggoned well | Iw was sick. Those who call at the office of the county clerk Jo this city up to five o’clock Monday afternoon, may register and thus qualify to vote in the primary. Don’t lose any more time. Mr. Instill got a fresh supply of lands — 310,000 — and immediately began a fight for his freedom. He is one of those boys who knows but one way of handling a proposition and thats by the use of the money. In Que time those who violate | the NRA will discover they are only injuring themselves. The NewDeal will eventually take us out of the mire and the sooner every one complys, the bettc it will be and the easier the accomplishment. If you haven’t registered, you can still squeeze through by doing so before the clerks office closes Monday afternoon. And its your duty t > qualify so you can help select the best candidates in ' the coming primary. George Higgenbotham of Lebanon says the Presdent thinks he is the big I am” and he certainly has been the past year. It’s a good thing for George and all the rest of us that he has been that too. although generally he is as modest as a man can well be who carries the great responsibility of Mr. Roosevelt. Bandits seem to get away even in Oklahoma and other western states, where they boast of knowing how to shoot. At Miami. Oklahoma, two men and a woman killed a constable, kidnaped a police chief and drove leisurely away. A wooden gun would probably be just as effective out there as in Indiana. That Lake county grand jury may have overstepped somewhat when they took their flings at the circuit judge. They might get away with scoring the governor and other politicians but they should have remembered that the judge has a chance to slap back

and with a vigor that may make them sorry they went into details so unnecessarily. Will Engle, rural carrier out of this city for thirty-one years, a faithful and efficient servant of the people and the government, will retire May Ist and we are glad to assure him that he will always have the good wishes of the people of this community. The eight routes here will l>e reduced to seven, thus complying with the plans of the administration to lessen costs, so there will be no vacancy to fill at this time. As the campaign enters the final month, we hope the candidates will refrain from personalities or from making charges which cannot be substantiated. Talk of a "ring" is of course silly in a county where there are 150 candidates from which the people can choose. You are sooa to make selections. Go out and work for those you feel will serve you best and we assure you that every good Democrat will support the winners. That's as square as we know how to be. They tell us the country is going to the eternal bow wows and that the constitution is to be destroyed. i Don’t get excited. That has been th ecustom each time we have had j a President who did things to meet I a situation. They said it about the work of Jefferson. Jackson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Wlson and now Franklin D. Those who believe in sitting in the old rut are the first to yell that any change means destruction. The truth is that when we get to slipping, the only way out is to put on the brakes and turn io another path. That has been done and the new lane has been found much smoother than the old. The constitution still lives and breaths and will continue to do so. ! fit-Ja VacU . J kx CUA»U/ RY Charley crant Many a single chap is a double crosser. Usually the back patter is a pretty good side stepper. Yes, sah; most of the hugging in life is WAISTED. Many a fellow has a small mind and a dern big middle. When a fellow's the goat it always makes him feel sheepish. It's the chap with the weak will who has the strong desires. Lots of folks are trying to make a big splash in the social swim. G. L. D. says: In banks and in music it's the notes that count. These days, eating pigs knuckles and trying to make ends meet, is tuf. Some fellows feed their girls taffy just to get a pull. Many a dumb belle has a lot of brass. The chap who can get up when he wakes up will rise up. o • -♦ | Household Scrapbook —BY—ROBERTA LEE » 4 Electric Light Bulbs ■A bulb cannot give its required amount of light unless the glass is kept clean.

They roamed the slate over, a ring ing the bells 1 They took the hanker s money, bid the cops farewell , Only stopping with the man. who gasoline sells. They bad plenty of cash, and a I swell old time They didn't go to bed, when the clock struck nine I At any old place they would stop to dine Then always tried hard, to cross the state line. They raided police stations to get machine guns And always were sure to pick the best ones They stole what they wanted and saved their funds And led the police on many snipe hunts. When finally in Ohio. Dillinger struck a nail Was caught by the sheriff, and he chucked him in jail Denied him his freedom, and denied him bail Then Johnny got the blues, and he sure did wail. Then one day his pals motored into the town Os Lima. Ohio, and they all did frown It was a case of swim, or a case to drown So they stormed the jail, and shot the sheriff down. Now they roamed the country over, on mischief bent For other peoples life, they didn't give a cent A looting and robbing, wherever they went It was stick 'em up brother, or to paradise be sent Then they went to Chicago to spend their dough Cops searching the city for them, high and low They didn’t give a whoop, for a friend or foe And always passed the buck as Mr. so and so. Then they started for the west, just to take a little rest They went to Arizona, and feathered a new nest They drank highballs, and they ate the very best They were strangers in town, but oh what a pest. Those Hicktown woke up and got wise Then the coppers sneaked in, and took them by surprise What an awful jolt, you all can surmise. Then the whole brave bunch began rubbing their eyes. They brought Johnny back, in a swell airplane He stood the trip well, without any pain And was finally landed, in Chicago again Then Johnny lost his nerve, and nearly went insane. They carted him by auto to the county of Lake. He landed in Crown Point, just for Johnny's sake Was given sixty days, for his will to make And explain why a policeman's life he did take. He adored his new pals, was treated like a pet But Johnny was not ready, to make his will yet He made up with the jailers, and got all set And laying his plans, to escape the jail net. He got a new idea, and just in fun Picked up a piece of wood, and he made a little gun The spiders over machine guns, their webs had spun So Johnny was happy enough, to shout and run.* He rounded up Mrs. Holley's M-ave jailer force. He marched behind them, through all the doors And sent them all to the washroom of course And had them wash their faces in bitter remorse. He took up a collection, about sixteen bucks They all chipped in like a bunch of

lame ducks No doubt with a smile on -their sweet littlo mugs And they felt about the size of f potato bugs. John borrowed Mrs. Holley's Deluxe sedan With a nigger valet and a chauffeur man An auto mechanic, and Blunk the big pan He drove out of Crown Point like a nobleman. He bade those gunners and sheriff' goodbye And commanded his driver, to put ’er in high He sang get along little doggie or. die And sailing was smoother, than Mrs. Holley's apple pie. Now he's free as a woodpecker, bird in the air Wants to go some place, and don't ! know where It keeps him a jumping, to avoid the snare With cops on his trail again every-1 where. Now where in the heck has Dilling- j er gone Oh where, oh where, can he.be His sentence cut short, and his; freedom cut long And where in all haste will.he flee?
