Its a bum day when the newspapers can’t fuid a murder trial to a give its readers and its funny hc-w the public likes to read all the horrible details. s , t i Onlv two weeks more and the t legislature will be over. They have o move along at better than the average pace and the results will y show that progress. a You can help the officers by giving strict attention to the parking rules and we should remember these men whose duty it is to enforce laws have a tough job. (j s The best wav to boost President 3 Roosevelt’s stock is to have Mr. Hoover and his supporters start after him. They will find again that he has a lot of admirers who e will stick to the last ditch. n v Thinking about spring? Most g every one is and this is the time . u for the merchant to tell the folks a what he has for sale. People want li to buy and will and your problem is to get them to buy from you. , V Let us help you. _ P « We don’t know just what its going to be but it does look as though we will have plenty of liquor con- j trol after the legislature is over, if its enforced. After all these matters are usually and mostly up to J 1 the local officials. n t - ! 11 An act of the legislature will, if it passes, make it necessary to serve notive five days ahead if ( " you propose to marry and you and n the girl must each produce a pliys- 11 icians certificate showing free from ” transmissable disease. n Here we are right up to the tour- g , ney season with every fan on his h toes.

times is crazy, so he gave him a life sentence instead of the chair. It pays to be kind to dumb animals. Every once in a while we are Inclined to doubt the wisdom of the groundhog but after all he seems to have hit it pretty well. The cold north winds with the sleet and snow can't last but a few hours. It won’t be long now until winter will be over and spring with all its sunshine and rain and flowers will be with us. And for most of us it can't come too soon. President Roosevelt is not going to worry about his relief work program. It the senators desire and Insist on its being cut out, he will proceed to give direct relief to those who need it. As he stated some time ago, no one in this country must go hungry and if the senators and congressmen don’t want work provided, then it must be pension, dole or something else. Then the law makers may answer to their own people. Mr. Hoover will continue his attacks on the administration, it is announced. That means of course he wants to be re-elected president. He will have to do something besides knock and his program must include some thing that will prove better than the plan used by President Roosevelt. Certainly we have made more progress the past two years than we did under the entire administration of Mr. Hoover and he will have quite a job convincing the public that he can do it belter now. George Washington's hatchet is buried for another year and the stories of his prowess will be laid away again. They are many and wonderful but it seems this man was wise, not only as a general and a statesman, but as a money maker. He is said to have been worth nve million dollars at his death which in that day was perhaps as great a fortune as that of any man in America. He owned more than a hundred thousand acres of rich lands. 300 slaves and other chattels and his residence farm at Mt. Vernon was the most complete plant for comfortable living in the world. f ST AR SIGNALS* By OCTAVINE For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

tion. The only exception t? be made to this rul will he in families where members ar physically unable to plant and cultivate gardens. Families on relief who do not maintain vegetable gardens will be required to make detailed explanations to case workers as to why they did not comply with Cue established 'policy of the commission. Both families and individuals on relief who refuse 'to paint and cultivate a garden without n adequate eveuse will be removed from relief rolls. According to Indiana laws township trustees are authorized to require persons making applications for relief to work for the amount of relief received, in accordance with these provisions of the law some trustees desire to plant, cultivate and harvest community mass production grdene with direct relief labor. Direct relief labor is defined as labor expended by persons receiving direct relief up to the value of such relief at a reasonable hour wage rate. Clients of the commission are to be expected to cooperate with trustees desiring to operate mass production projects. If they refuse to report for work t times designated by the trustee, county case ' work supervisors of the Commission will be required to refrain from issuing them any further relief orders. Vegetables grown in community mass gardens are to be assigned a crash value by case work supervisors and will be distributed as a general relief commodity as a part of the client’s direct relief budget and not as a surplus. 0 __— _ The juniors call him “Phillip for Short” — Tuesday at B:ls—■©.
