About $50,000 more “is being distributed to farmers on the cornhog contracts and the influx of th n money is noticed in many ways in the community. Federal government representatives praise the work and headway made by the local sugar lieet control board. The records are in excellent shape ami said to lie among the best comidled in the country. That speaks well of the local committee and their ityThe Ruxiliary of the American Legion is sponsoring a poppy day poster contest, open to all the school children in the county. Mot in the spirit of promoting a moneymaking affair, but rather to interest children and bring out their talents for this line of art, all are

invited to participate. Indiana has practically ruled out Hirai night clubs and roadhouses with a liquor control law. Following the disastrous lire in one of Chicago's roadhouses, Illinois will at least be expected to pass a law regulating such establishments, providing for ample exits, tire escapes and fire-proof buildings. Following embezzlement charges against a former deputy sheriff. Indianapolis has ordered all the horse race “bookie'’ shops closed. | The deputy is supposed to have lost considerable money in bets on horse races. It's a hard way to try to make a living. No one ever got rich betting on races. It used to be that the bulk of life insurance was paid to the beneficiaries of the dead. Last year the insurance companies paid out $2.700,000,000 to policyholders and beneficiaries, of which only nine hundred million was paid in death claims.

merce. The board will meet Friday for the purpose of electing ofliters and planning the year’s program. These men "have the interest of the community at heart and 1 by giving them your cooperation you will help in the build Decatur i program. President Roosevelt Is a strong , believer In the old saying "that all work und no pluy makes Jack a dull boy", so he is taking a few day's relaxation in Florida waters. Mr. Roosevelt is enjoying wonderful health and the strain of the office has not torn him down, medical experts vouch. He will return to Washington next week, refreshe<! and in shape to carry through his program. The council has been complimented for the decision taken to adopt an ordinance licensing dogs and establishing a corral for the stray ones. The measure Is being drafted by City Attorney Myers i and will be acted on at the next I meeting of the city body. A local veterinarian praised the step taken, pointing out each year many dogs with rabies run loose and as a protection to the public something should be done. Although the crossing is marked, it seems that the railroad company would be ahead financially and the public would be better protected, if flasher signal lights were erected at the crossing south of Decatur. Within recent years two people have been killed and several injured at the crossing. Railroads cannot be held responsible (or all accidents, but it does look that everyone would be belter served if lights were put up. notifying motorists of approaching trains. , R. Earl Peters is doing a wond- I erful job as director of the FHA 1 in Indiana. He is sincere, enjoys , his work and pictures great oppor- i

tunities under provisions of the act, giving employment to hundreds of tradesmen. Indiana stands at the top of the list in carrying the program through, largely due to the enthusiasm of the state director who is visiting every county seat explaining the benefits of a house ( repair, remodeling or new structure campaign. 1 o — *ST AR SIG N AL S T By OCTAVINE ♦ • For persons who bettevr that human destiny is guided hy the planets I the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer, tn audition to in. formation of general interest, it outlines information of special interest to persons born on the designated MARCH 28.
