Get the garden ready for planting and don t forget to fix up the j house a little. Under the FHA you can finance it and pay it out in • easy amounts over a period of a ; few years. A special session may uot be necessary In Indiana and if it isn’t, it will not be culled. Unless some additional measures are required to meet the demands of the National congress, in order that Indiana may receive her full slutre of the benefits to be thus derived, no specie I meeting will in- held. The President apparently has not lost his power with congress, if the result of his work relief bill in the senate is a measure of his I' strength. He won a smashing victory and will have nearly five bil- j lion dollars with which to help this country, unless something tinforeseen liappens during the rest of the bills travels. If the splendid men named to atteifd to the business of the Indiana t liqjjor control, do not please you, j it is because you can't be pleased. ( Governor McNutt has named the i best men he could obtain for this important and responsible job. ( They have already started their i tasks and will continue on the job i ’ i until the best results to- every one , have been secured. 1 We smile when we read the 1 i tirades of certain Republican news- , papers against the new law regu- i lathig the sale of liquor. Most of these papers insisted on repeal of , the eighteenth amendment and a return of liquor. Now they find fault with every thing that is done

to regulate the sale of intoxicants.! They know they are only playing! politics and every one else ought to realize it. The Berne Bears were finally stopped in their fight for the state championship when the fast Shelbyville team defeated them in the quarter finals, 28 to 17, but every one at the field house knew they ■were a basketball team and several of the members received high compliments. It wa - an honor that every one in the county interested in the fascinating sport will appreciate ami congratulations are due the Bears. The NBA in Indiana will be a signed to aid rather than disturb and built along that line, will be of much benefit. During the past ■weeks it has been a popular pasttime to decry the National NBA but tve believe that once every one understands the high purpose of tile Indiana orgunizatiou, they wili wish to give every aid possible. A stabilizing measure for industry, providing codes of fair competition. should b» of interest to one.

R. Earl Peters,'chairman of the FHA program In Indiana, will the speaker at a meeting to be held here next Monday evening and we are sure his discussion of r the great problems he is undertaking to solve will be of greatest InI tereat. The occasion will also be the annual meeting of the memt hers of the Decatur Chamber of . Commerce, when inambere of the 1 board of directors, will be chosen. It is ap occasion of more than I passing interest and it is expected that more than two hundred boosters for this community, will attend. — - — Only young reporters of big city origin, and a few of their elders whose roamings have been limited, believe there is any such thing as a ‘'hick" dally press. Informed men do uot accept the conception of a "country" daily as one of provincial viewpoint. haphazard operation and small influence. A daily newspaper, wherever printed, is an institution whose field of interest is as wide as the world itself. The 1 very fact that it exists is proof i that a small town daily is a dy- ! namic force, socially and econor,i---j i rally, in its community. It takes ' hard money to publish a daily ' newspaper, and the expense conItinues. day by day, regardless of ' income. There is a minimum of i cost below which no newspaper

can fall and live. When a daily, i large or small, ceases to interest 'and serve and ceases to show dol- . lars-and-cents return to its advertisers, it dies. Therefore, when yon see a copy of a so-called “country” newspaper, you may well say to yourself: ‘This is a good paper. I which interests the people of its 'community, and serves them in i every way it can. and in which it PAYS to advertise.

• FROM THE LEGISLATIVE MILL Senate Bill No. 145. Introuuctd by Senator Fred Eichhorn. Democrat. { , of Gary Approved March 11, 1935, Chapter 173 of the Acts of 1935.1

Senate Bill No. 145. is another] outstanding act of the 1935 leg is- 1 lature and ads as a two edg.sl ' sword ir the saving of the taxpayers money. It is similar some- j what to House Bill 41. Senate Bill 145 is an entirely new act and first provides that; school or mnuicipa! authorities shall take into congideration the, Amount of revenue they receive from the state form or for any I fund and shall be shown in budget estimates and taken into consider-. ation in calculating the tax levy to be made for the ensuing year. Tho act goes further and provides. that after the tax levy is , made on the basis of consideration of the funds so received from the state, no moneys shall be expended from these funds including

"I don't like that word cowardly,” shouted Shearer when the adjective was uaed by Senator Homer T. Bone, of Washington, who lashed at Shearer in a cauatie manner which precipitated an outburst that ended only when Senator Gerald P. Nye, of North Dakota, committee chairman, ended the turbulent session by banging for order and commanding Shearer to sit down.

' the gasoline fund, the motor vei hide fund, the common school revenue fund, or the general fund , for highway, street or school pur- ■ poses, until this money has first i been appropriated by the proper officers authorized by law to make such appropriations. Various local units of government have not been taking into consideration th<* moneys received ? into these various funds from the state nor have they been appro- ; priatiug the money before expenditure. This act will reduce tax levies in the first place and will bring abqut economy in expendij ture in the second place. Estimates on tho savings to be made throughout the state as a ’ result of this act have been as high as s2,oUo,Out).

Scores 1,500 in Pinochle Game NELSONVILLE, O. (U.R) — Playing at a party here recently. Miss Alfield Johnson scored 1.5U0 points in one pinochle game. She held a run in diamonds, pinochle, and six aces. Getting the bid for 280. she found two aces in the widow to make her a total of 1.000 points. Iler partner melded 40 jacks and a nine of diamonds to bring the total to 1.250, and they took every trick for another 250 points.

Shearer cooled off with a drink of water after defending himself from the pointed charges made by the committee. During his testimony the witness waa questioned concerning a pamphlet he authored in 1928 which included the name of President Roosevelt on a list of “anli-Americans” under ths heading, “knaves or fools?”. This incident provoked Bone's wrath. .j

Television requires a wave band 100 times wider than sound broadcasting. he explained. nnd for this reason lias been shoved up into the high frequency channels. In iiigli frequencies televiaion carries only 25 or 30 miles, a rang - unprofitable tor commercial stations. “If television were permitted in the wave bands now reserved for sound broadcasting. a picture'broadcast would iwrry around the world easily," Professor Mackeown asserted. "Apparatus wo now have is odequote for good broadcasts at lower frequencies, though subject to fading' and other detects from which sound radio also suffers. “However, it is doubtful that listeners will sacrifice 100 sound programs for a single one of pictures. "The only alternative is a Urge number of stations placed 30 miles apart—about one hundred to bridge the country- Until civpital is available for this large project, well have to wait." — - Wore Out 80 Flags New Westminster, B.

COUGHLIN CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONO desirous of knowing your reasons for favoring continuance of our present broken down liimnclal system. They also want to know what you think about a living wage and how it can be acquired." Most newspapers, the priest said, have proven themselves hostile to the 16 points proposed by the National Union. "These 16 points, however, can win for news journal a circulation increase if the editorial staff possess the ability to prove that they are nothing more than asinine absurdities." Coughlin appealed to the press to discuss "frankly und fairly the problems facing the nation. "Were 1 opposed to the social and economic philosophy intimated by these questions I would endeavor to rectify the false apjieal being made by remembering that 'of whom fools made a martyr, his doctrines they immortalise'. 1 would disparage not the person who propagates such non-sensical principles but the principles themselves.
