Any way when they got down to brass tacks, the administration forces made their opponents look like they didn’t have much claim to the support of the voters. The weather man seems to have, forgotten to put any spring in his j 1934 program. We have missed j the spring showers and the cool I weather usual in May and jumped right into the good old summer time. We may get tired of “ninety in the shade ’ before October. Democrats exceeded Republicans in voting in Indiana by 100,000, it is dhown by the official figures and I that’s probably a better indicator than the recent Pennsylvania elec-! turn in which Reed beat Pine-hot, j HHMKK). in a Republican primary. j Have no misapprehensions, the people are going to support the politiral party which took them oil! of the depression. Polities in Indiana will have to take a back seat for a coupie of j weeks now until the 500-mile speed- j way races are over and talked j ahaut. This is an annual event in j thj state and attracts thousands j of “customers from all over the world. Nothing in the sports line comes any where near it in America I unless it is the Kentucky Derby and it has never drawn in numbers as do the death defying auto racers. Omer Jackson, new Democratic state chairman, has the right ka k j ground for tile job. His father, Stokes Jack.on proved a great leader in the same place many years ago and Omer has served as county and district chairman with an excellent record. Dr. McCulloch, who relires now has done much to get the warring factions of his party in harmony and his report disclosed beyond argument that he »a3 the right man at the right time. Decatur is a good town and the streets are frequently packed with people as was the case Saturday evening, when ears were parked every where and drivers had to use the utmost care. Credit is due ■Chief Melchi and his assistants who ha.e been doing an excellent job in preventing double parking down street and in keeping the traffic moving. Its no easy job and the officers appreciate greatly the fine cooperation being given them by every one. Dr. L. A. Pittenger, president of Ball State Teacher’s college of Muncie, is recognized as one of the outstanding and upstanding educators, not only in Indiana but in the entire country. Rail state college stands at the very top of those engaged in training school teacher;; and much of the advancement of-this institution of learning has occurred under the guidance of Prof. Pittenger. Decatur is honor-ed-in having him as the speaker

in the high school commencement exercises tonight. Tonigght will be one of the big dates for the slxty-ono who will receive diplomas as graduates from the Decatur high school. They w-itl ■ look hack upon this occasion many times, with pleasure and with , t hankfulness that they continued in school to this point. Each is better titled to meet the problems of life and while this is but the commencement of activities for them, they feel they have accomplished something worth while and they have. We offer our congratulations and best wishes. The great fire in Chicago Saturday evening caused a loss estimated at from ten to thirty million dollars. An area a mile or two square was destroyed and in the great blaze were included many famous buildings such as the Drover's hotel and hank, the live stock exchange. the huge ampatheater where the International live stock shows have b*-en held for years, the Stockyards National bank. Stock j Yards Inn and many others. It was second only to the fire of 1871 which destroyed almost the entire city. Blame for the disastrous Chicago fire is placed upon a careless man who dropped a lighted cigarette butt in a pile of hay. Similar acts have caused many serious fires in j this country ami is inexcusable. It should be a warning to those who hire in the habit of carelessly throwing down a lighted cigarette to see that it is ontened. While this is true always it is more lust now when the entire middle west is burning up from an unseasonable drouth, making every piece of wood tinder for spreading a fire. ———— - Work of building the new bruslii less motor was begun here today I and employes will be rehired as \ rapidly as required and as fast as they can be instructed in the newwork which is considerably different than the former jobs. It is the opinion of many in a .position to judge that the new motor will prove a big seller and will require a large | force to manufacture in keeping I with orders. If that proves true. | the local plant may soon he using more people than ever before, which is something to hope and pray for. « — « i Household Scrapbook -BYROBERTA LEE ♦ • Removing Paint Spots A careless painter will often Heave some unsightly spattered I: pots on the pavements or front -ceps, but they can be removed by' wishing with a strong solution ot potash, allowing the solution to ink in.

Raft said the word. j The Chicago ! heiress admits this, but added that she doesn't believe Raft would ask her to make the sacrifice. Tin sure he would leave that up to me,” declared the pretty blonde girl, who has captured • the star’s attentions to the exclusion of all otlier Hollywood

beauties. “Os course, it’s too early yet for me to talk much about a screen career,” said Virginia. “But if lam lucky enough to make a hit, I certainly want to go through with it." With Raft in the east making per- > sonal appearances and with the prospect of a 10-day stay in the hospital, which she has entered for rest and observation following her illness in New York and on the trip to the coast, the blonde actress temporarily will mark time both in her romance and in her career. Meanwhile, her relations with Warner Brothers remain at the delicate stage. The studio objected to Virginia going east and put her off pay during her absence. Agent A1 Kingston, who handles the Chicago beauty’s business affairs, says he and his client are not worried. “As a matter of fact,” he said, “I’d be tickled to death if Warners didn't take up Miss Pine’s option. There are several things I could put her in right away.” \The Raft-Pine marriage may not take place as soon as the film colony expects Latest rumor reports a hitch in settlement negotiations between George and his wife in the east.

It was Mae herself who finally put it up to them about the army bomber. They thought the idea was fine and now all Mae has to do is to get one. She is offering to pay all expenses of the plane, and, if the government consents, will carry her bodyguards on the trip. When Frank (“Bring ’Em Back Alive”) Buck and Gene Austin performed for the “Hollywood on the Air” radio broadcast the other evening, it was a long-deferred reunion. The pair were boyhood friends in Gainesville, Texas, but hadn’t met in 20 years. Buck left the little Texas town to become one of the best known authorities on wild animals and Austin followed the crooning route to international popularity. Joan Crawford slipped into town Saturday night to give a small din- i ner party attended by Franchot Tone, the Clark Gables, Lynn Riggs and Jerry Asher to celebrate her ,

final decree of divorce. She still denies that Tone will be her next husband and, anyway, the young actor is busy for the moment playing opposite Jean Harlow in “100 Percent Pure.” Interesting that Joan and Douglas F airbanks, Jr., exchanged cable* ■ on the day of their final decree.

As welcomed to their Temple graciously, 1 rest; They stand with reverent bowing heads In stately humble grandeur. And I am free to join their worship of our great Creator. One feels so welcome, and so Bure ; of God— That He is love, and that He, too, j with smiles— Will welcome all who come to! these majestic aisles. 1 ' » Like a great pipe-organ, the wind among the tree-tops Plays a sweet sonata of the harps of God, As through the trees his dexterous fingers move— The harps are faint and sweet, or clearer, louder sound; In sweetest obligato sings the thrilling solo of the birds, Moving the soul to worship and - bow down. The ferns, so green, and delicate as shreds of lace. Waving so gently from their lowly path, the sod, Like soft hands clapping, are giving praise to God. And incense from a million flowers Uprises from the field and glen As gratitude ascends to God from men; Their colors, varied as the coat which Joseph wore— As we have read in ancient Bible lore, Together blend in one harmonious whole— Like all the attributes of a human soul. Our Host is God; our hostess is the earth; The humble planet which to us has given birth. We’re here; and as invited gucst3 We should be watchful, thoughtful, lest We prove ungrateful to them both. : Existence upon any plane is cause for thankfulness. To be here — Welcomed, loved, with needs supplied, and beauty all around. To know the love of God does everywhere abound With room for all, is cause for; deepest gratitude. To know that God is love, and love can make no error — Must surely take away the cause of all our terror; The future is so bright, so clear. When with the ones we love so dear — We see God face to face. All this | one sees When joined in worship with the * trees! —Mrs. Ella Michael. 2857 Ford Street, Oakland, California.
