Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home DailieWith this kind of spring weather it's no wonder straw hats are the style. Think of it—B.ooo.ooo pounds of butter to be made in Decatur during 1935. That means work and a lot pf it, thousands of cows to produce the cream and a real industry in a top-notch community. The Central Fertiliser plant will get underway next week, becoming Decatur's newest and most thriving industry. No place in the world is going ahead as fast as this fair city and everybody has a right to feel proud of it. The fact that the three mile road building law has been inoperative during the past two years, is shown in the decrease of road bonded indebtedness. The debt fell more than 10 million dollars from 1933 to 1931 aud tax authorities estimate that by 1910 all townships will be in the clear. Then look out for something. Quick adjustment of the fire loss at the municipal plant was mad? yesterday and repair of the damage, less than $2.1*09. will begin next week. Insurance carried on contents, equipment aud buildings _ will be ample to repair the silos and replace the housing on top ” with steel and sheet iron material. * The silos were not damaged to any “ extent and the loss was considered •“ nominal by the adjusters. The Democrat’s Farm Page showed the close relationship between farmer aud manufacturer. In Adams county agriculture and industry go hand in-hand. The Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., is a market for milk and butterfat and the Central Sugar and Soya bean plants purchase the beet and bean crops, both plants manufacturing products for all to use or consume. It is a close tie between producer and seller and proof that we must all work together. The bonus bill is on another ride through congress, the House voting 318 to 90 in favor of the Pat man two billion dollar cash payment plan. The senate, which recently jumped the traces aud voted in favor of the so-called literal wage scale bill, is expected to show a more sober attitude on the bonus measure. However it appears that the bill has a tetter chance of going to the president this time than any time since the Coolidge regime. Sponsors of bill see a margin in favor of its passage. • The new liquor control law. fixing the time for night closing and prohibiting the sale of alcoholic drinks on Sunday will be observed here and throughout the state tomorrow.

The report shows a decrease in the number of child'.UM D t ren who admitted liiting their finger nails, an ugly nervous habit and an increase in the number drank milk every day. Those wipo took milk to school increased more I than one hundred per cent and a three hundred per cent gain was noted in the group who brushed I their teeth. It was an encouraging 1 report and we dare say there isn't f. much wrong with boys and girls! of Adams county. Keep up thej good work, listen to the advice of I your teachers, your parents and' the nurses and you'll become Babe’ Ruths and Amelia Earharts. More titan a million flowers have been brought together at the Grand Central Palace in New York for the twenty-second inter-i national flower show. Many a garden lover will look in on the show, will go away with blooming ideas., Other garden lovers wilt not havel an opportunity to view the display as acacia, cyclamen, lilac. Narcissus and many others. But other flower fans the nation over will de-! rive even greater enjoyment from their own less pretentious but equally lieautiful gardens right in their own back yards. They will remember Voltaire’s worus of profound simplicity, that wheu cares weigh one down and the burdens of life are overwhelming, "it is necessary to cultivate one's garden.” —Journal-Gazette. The announcement that work on the homesteads is nearly concluded has been timed by the FHA committee in Decatur which is now supervising a housing survey of the city. The eanvasers should be given every consideration by householder whom they visit in au effort to discover repair work wh-ich will employ the men why have spent the winter on the government project. Repair work done now on the houses will have bene ficial results. First, the houses which need only minor repairs now will need major work done on them in a few years unless they are taken care of immediately. Sec-

ondly, the employment of men will tend to lower the township tax rates which are now overburdened with relief appropriations. The government has done its part through the FERA and the Decatur subsistence homesteads. It is time for every citizen to dig in and help the community climb to n higher plane.

FROM THE LEGISLATIVE MILL House Bill 204. Introduced by Representatives Bennett Reckey o? Sharpsville and Justin A. Roberts of Noblesville. Approved March 8, 1935. Chapter 163 Acts of 1935.

House bill No. 204 was sponsorI ed by the state tax board and eliminates the fonr-year reassessment of real estate. The next assessment of real estate was due in 1936, and it is estimated that several hundred thousand dollars will be saved the tax- ' payers in the biriag of special , assessors. in addition, it will j eliminate a reassessment of real estate in a campaign year, always more or less of a political propo- ’ sttlon. The reassessment in 1932 1 Towered the assessed valuation of i tlte state more than a Idllion dollars. It was a campaign year. This bill amends the taxation act of 1927 and provides that no reassessment of property shall be made except on order of the state i board of tax commissioners, except I where twenty-five per cent of propi erty owners of a township outside ' incorporated towns or cities, or five i per cent in township with city of I 10,009 population petition for reassessment, then the tax board shall order a reassessment if peti-

The last word tn modem bathroom planning and equipment is illustrated here. Utility gives no ground to Itreury but both are found in the above arrangement in happy combination. Modern mirror and lighting installations suggest spaciousness. Simplicity is also the order of the day. Note the compact but roomy tub, the graceful, two-legged wash basin. Buiit-te towel cabinets are answers to many housewives’ prayers. The four plan is m adaptation of economy of space.

By JEAN ALLEN (International Illustrated News) San Francisco.—Giant airliners, linking the United States with the Orient, are scheduled to go into j operation this summer, establishing | an 8,509-inile transoci'anic air service across the Pacific. Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh i technic*! advisor to the Pan-Amer can Airways, is expected to be on? of those to make the first voyage. One of the giant Clipper ships, designed by Igor Sikorsky, will lie ; used on the first trips which will j te used on the firs trips lie in the nature of experimental flights. The Clipper is manned by > a crew of nine and is capable ot! carrying 14 passengers and a ton of mail or express. Four engines, capable of developing 2.800-horse power; will drive the airliner at a cruising speed of , 145 miles an hoar. The plane has i a cruising range of J.ote miles and I will carry nearly 3.s'kt gallons of gasoline. Japanese Protest Transport and passenger servic? j across the Pacific will te provided ■ on a 70-hour schedule in compar;-! son to the 20 days now required by express steamer. I Japanese naval authorities have vigorously opposed the project on grounds that the construction of air ports at Guam, Midway and | Wake islands was a menace to Jap-1 ansae- security. High Japanese nav-| al authorities were quoted as term-! ing the project "military preparations in the guise of civilian enterprises." Authorities at Washington, how-, ever, are proceeding with plans t«. cooperate with the Pan-American I Airways in development of bases |

I Plan Seven Airports Tentative plans, as outlined gen- | erally by officials of the Pan-Amer-ican indicate that air bases will be established at Alameda. Tai. Kano ehe Bay in the Hawaiian islands, ion one of the Midway islands; at ! Wake island and on Guam. The j last leg of the westward journey i will te from Manilla in the Philli- , ppines to Canton. China. By establishing airports at these points, the 8,590-nrile jonrney will be broken up into hops of not more than 2,909 miles long. This will enable the pilot to be guided at ail times by radio beacons which now have, a range of 1.809 miles. This ! direction-finder is of invaluable as--1 sistance in holding a course to a comparatively small objective in the vast Pacific. Extensive and exhaustive tests i have been carried on in recent i months to accurately check the ' power and dependability of the ! Clipper Pioneer. The ship recently completed a 3,000-mlle non-stop cruise over the Caribbean sea. Seen as Aid to Peace Despit? professional fears of the l Japanese, the institution ot air ser- ' vice across the Pacific is seen by I many as a step toward peace and better relations between United States and the Orient. It is believed that a tetter international understanding will te promoted by im- : proved transportation facilities. ■ A few years ago it was thought 1 that the Atlantic would be spann|ed by regular air service long be-
