Dillinger is so smart he even i knows ahead ot time when we are - ling to have cold snaps and ■ strikes out for the south. Now he 1 "• is. supposed to be in Mississippi 1 and the first warm days he will be 1 seen fishing up in Wisconsin. i James D. Adams w ill not be a! candidate for the Democratic state I i chairmanship but will continue at 11 his job as chairman of the state 11 ‘ highway commission. at which hell has done a mighty good job that is 1 appreciated by the people of Indi | ana.. i - _ ( Many local people are looking at- t ter the trees which were damaged , in the recent storm, a very import- , ant matter for the beauty and the j life the trees are at stake. Be ( ure to have it done by some one < who knows how and watch that the ( appearance of the trees are no: |■, ruined. j t h Your income tax to the state is L due this week and those who owe I • and can arrange it are urged to pay ( that the schovis may be kept going: during this very trying period. Of', course its not a pleasure but most of the things necessary to get back ’ to normalcy are any thing but that I President Roosevelt s new book, "On Our Way" is now on the market and will have a ready sale, for it will be of interest to know that i this wise man has thought out tar in advance, every thing he has tried and that almost every expert- ' went has turned out as he expected or better. ; Samuel Insult is on his way tome < but its a sorry return for the once mighty king of utilities. No brass bands will meet him and he will be 1 surprised to discover that those whom he considered his best i friends have slipped into the darkness of oblivion. He is now just a criminal, so charged and convicted so far as public opinion is con cerned. Illinois pointed the way in the first primary of the year by giving the largest Democratic vote ever cast in a primary in that state and something like twice as large as that of the Republicans. The Presi-

I

dent was given support In every district wherq his policies were made the ismte The people are for him and why shouldn't they be’’ He has more than made good and It would be the heighth of felly ito tie his hands now. Spring is here whether it feels like It or not and the sun will soon drive away the snow clouds. Get ready for the warm days and the first important job will be the clean up. The city will do her part and its up to every individual to do his. Get the rubbish in baskets or boxes so it can be hauled away and do what you can to make your property appear its best. /Announcement has been made that contractors who desire to bid on building oue or more houses may bid on the subsistence home contracts, thus giving local men opportunity to get in on the lettings. No doubt some bids will be received on the entire forty-eight but this will not prevent the awarding of contracts to local men who are within the money. The plans will be sent to Washington this week and when approved, in about two weeks it is estimated, will be returned here for a short time before bids are asked, so every one interested may make their offer. One of the most interesting stories of recent months is that told by Secretary of Labor France® Perkins in explaining the origin of the NR A. As soon as President Roosevelt took office, she explains, people began writing him letters giving their ideas of how to restore good business conditions. Not less than IW.OOe people—most of them in compara’ively humble circum stances —wrote such letters to the President and members of his official family; and the vast majority ot letters urged two fundamental changes — shorter working hours and the payment of wages above the mere subsistence level, to build up mass purchasing power. It was from his perusal of these letters. Miss Perkins says, that the President got the germ of the idea around which the NRA was built. —Frankfort Times. Q CMARLEy says: BY CUAgLSY a RANT | Married folks who live on scraps sure lead a dogs life. ' Many a chap kin pray like a saint and lie like th' devil. Sometimes after a crook goes on a bender it straightens him out Th’ folks who talk too much generally talk too loud. Life may be a bed o' roses, but most of us end up with a lily.

OUTLAW STAGES DARING RAID IN INDIANA TODAY j (CONTINUED FROM w'AGB ONE) i me so I hesitated about drawing J my own gun.’’ Pittinger's narrative of the raid on the Warsaw police arsenal, the j third such foray staged by Dili linger in Indiana was given to i the United Press with injections ‘ of humor by the policeman who ■ said that "now that I look back . ! on it maybe I was a damned fool 1 after all.” i "There are only two police offi-1 ' cers on duty at night here and j I was walking leisurely along Buffalo street when these two men came up to me.” he said. ; "They were swaggering across the ; street and I saw they had machine guns. When they came closer I recognized Dillinger.” "Dillinger stuck the muzzle of his machine gun into my stomach I and said, just as though he meant j business, that they wanted those ! bullet proof vests in the police j station. "I grabbed the muzzle of the j gun and forced it into the air but | I Van Meter, as he later was identii fied, had anotheV machine gun on i me from behind. ‘There wasn’t a soul on the ' street "Dillinger swore when I pushed i his gun away and said. Don't try t to get funny, copper.' “1 asked Dillinger if his gun would shoot and he asked me ‘ what the hell I thought he was

carrying it for. Just then the clip fell out but Van Meter had a gun on me and I hesitated about drawing my own revolver, a .38 calibre special. Dillinger stooped and picked up the clip, putting it back in the machine gun. "The odds were against me so I gave up and sMd I would go along with them. We started down an alley and then turned east a block and a half to the town hall. "While we were walking along, ! one on each side of me, Dilljpger said I was the biggest dammed I fool he ever saw and Van Meter I suddenly snatched my gun from my holster and cracked me over the head with iL” Q Barnstable.
