The "I told you so” season is pretty well over now until November, when the wise ones will again have the pleasure of explaining it all to those who care to listen. If 12,000 people registered and only 9,000 voted, the county must have wasted the 3150 paid at five centner head for registering them. Looks as though every one wants to be set to vote if he wants to but "prefers to use his own judgment as to when he wants to. Samuel insull will appreciate his freedom more because of the few days in jail and probably leave! nothing undone to keep from serv-1 iug time in prison. It must be a I tough dose for this old boy who j for many years was as powerful as ! most kings. — Ernie Blunk squeezezd out of the i tight jam he lias been in since he permitted Dillinger to get away but we doubt if he will be able to actually regain the confidence -of the people of Lake county. He was freed last evening after a several days trial. Nudest clubs will not be tolerated in Indiana unless those who thus wish to go Adam and Eve one better, can get a law enacted that permits the silly fashion. That is the opinion expressed by Attorney General Lutz and which will be subscribed to unanimously by decent people. Dust in your hair, d,.st on the ehair, dust every where. It has been a long time since any one in this section has witnessed the sand and mud storms of the past week. And it is scattered all over the dozen states of the great middle west. A day or two of rain will be about the only way to wash the dirt off. The kidnapers, only want $75,0i)0 to return William Gettle, Los Angeles millionaire to his family.

I Its a poor wind that blows no I body good or somethin', as Andy would say. The wheat has been practically destroyed in several western states and there may be a big shortage. However, there is a large reserve and the thing this would do, would be to put the price of this commodity up a few notches and it might bo several years before we got as urplus. Decatur ladies have been asked to sponsor membership in the Community Concert Association of Fort Wayne and it is believed a number of memberships will be obtained here. The tickets are but five dollars for the season. During the past three years this organization has brought to Fort Wayne a dozen of the greatest musical entertainments in America and at a nominal cost. Those interested should get in touch with Miss Lula Gerber or Mrs. Dan Tyndall. The Democratic state convention to be held June 12th will be the big political event of the year. The Republicans will have practically no contests but the tight for the senatorial toga by Democrats and tlie fact that there will be contests for the other nominations, will make thousands want to see the struggle. Added to this is the newspaper space being given Mr. Peters and the other candidates, in hopes that the party may be disrupted. Our guess is they will be I fooled and whoever the nominee is i will take the measure of Senator Robinson with ease. With the county organizations complete. we turn next to the districts and then the state. All these things are necessary to complete the set-up under which elections are held and while the various groups frequently contest to the i limit for control, those in charge will proceed to arrange the many and varied details of the campaign, and every one will join with them. Serving in the capacity of precinct and county and district chairmanships mean many duties, some of them rather strenuous, but after all there is an interest that can be found in no other activity. o & CHARLEY k sa y s . bY CHARLEY eRANT •S ~ ’9 ~.

* COUNTY AGENT’S COLUMN # "Indiana ts as fare advanced If not farther ahead than any other state In progress on the corn-hog reduction campaign," said Dr. A. G. Black chief of the com-hog section of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration at Washington, who was in Indiana May 3 for a conference with the state corn-hog committee and the state board of review for the the state board of review tor corn hog program. Director J.H. Skinner of Purdue University and L. M. Vogler of the stale committee, and Mr. Vogler, L. E. Hoffman, and M. M Justin of the board of review, and others concerned with this campaign attended the meeting. Dr. Black complimented the men who have handled the contract signup campaign in (Indiana and declared that the entire project had been wtfll handled by the county agents and more than 5,000 committeemen who did the actual work of getting contracts signed. "We are well pleased with the way the farmers of Indiana and other states have taken hold of this corn-hog project and that they are actually going ahead and will reduce their production according to present demands," said Dr. Black "Thia is the real purpose of the whole program and if the producers themselves are to realize the most from their efforts, ooperation now and throughout the duration of this program is essential. The farmers, themselves, will make It succeed.” Dr. Black expressed satisfaction with the work being done in the state and pointed out the import-
