Those wiio vio- 1 late them, do so at their own risk. The rains are helping a lot and , indictions are that the drought of ‘ the past two years is over. The * showers over the week-end were 1 heavy and the ground is getting well soaked again. Decatur merchants did a good business Saturday and it was 1 noticeable that those who advet- ' tised in this paper were the bus- 1 lest. Os course it pays. If you ' have doubt of it, the only way to 1 convince yourselves is to try it. 1 Harry Miesse, secretary of Hie Indiana Taxpayers Association, evidently does not agree with those who believe the legislature did ' nothing worth while. He declares ' that five new laws enacted will

save the taxpayers of Indiana five million dollars. The new state liquor laws are intended to control the traffic of Intoxicating liquors and those called upon to serve as members of local and state commissions and who will have power in this important part of state and local government, will find their work difficult and important. NBA boards in Indiana have been discontinued and those who have business with this organization will have to transact it through the state board. Just what will happen to this organization which started so vigorously a year ago depends greatly on the results to certain bills now in congress. ' Its an ill wind that blows nobody good. The mud storms have ruined the crops in the middle and far west but as a result the bau on wheal lias been lifted and those who have prospects for a crop of 1 .this important cereal may rest assured that they can sell all they raise and ala good price.

Ex-President Hoover is giving some advice to the Republican party, of which ho is titular head aud they will do well to listen to him. The old 0. O. P. which held great power so many years is badly demoralized Just now and unless tho leaders get together and decide upon a definite plan, they will cohtinue to go back. A "jamboree" is to be held in northern Michigan on March 29th. opening of the smelt fishing season. We thought that might mean some kind of a wild spree until we noticed that Rev. Ross Stokes, | formerly of this city, is a member of the committee in charge and then we discovered that it is just a good time for those who love the great out of doors. The acts of 1935 will be ready by the latter part of next month and the volume will be one of the largest ever published in the slate The recent session passed a large large number of bills and several of them are quite long. For in stance the original liquor bill contained 147 pages and to this were added a score or two of amendments. The new laws will be read with interest by many. The usual number of automobile accidents occurred over the weekend and these seem to increase from year to year. In 1934 there were more than 36.000 fatalities from auto accidents in the United States and nearly 1,200 in Indiana. With the greater possible speed for cars, better roads and moro cars than ever, drivers certainly cannot be too careful. You must not only watch your owu speed but ’ keep your good eye on the other ( cars which go and conic. . 1 R. Earl Peters will speak to the j in im -s men of this community at the annual meeting of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, his subject of course being the FHA program , in which he is very much inter-

ested. being the state chairman. ■ and at which by the way he is making the best job of any iu similar positions in the entire nation. 1 We are always glad to welcome back to Decatur this man who has i made good as a public servant. Tonight’s meeting promises to be 1 one of the best ever held here. The committee of which Senator ] T. A. Gootscltalk is chairman is now securing data and giving serious consideration to reorganization of county government, reducing expenses and .making the officers more efficient. They will report April sth to the governor and if their recommendation is favorable it is assured that such a measure will be presented to the special < session ot the legislature, suppoi ed by the administration. Just what they will work out has not been disclosed but there seems to be no doubt that some action along this line will be favored. o * S T A R sT(^NALSI By OCTAVINE ♦ • ———- ♦ For person?* who believe- that human destiny is gui-led by the the daily horoscope is outlinea by « noted astrologer.
