Easter shopping should reach a peak this week-end. Visit the stores and do your buying. Local merchants appreciate your ipatronage and will be happy to serve your needs during the preEaster season. Hitler will have to lay in a new supply of chopping blocks if he continues to behead convicted spies. Since the old kaiser spends most of his time chopping wood, why not run him into service? The Chamber of Commerce and city officials are working out plans for a free parking lot. Property owners are cooperating generously and within a short time, if present plans are carried through. Decatur can boast of an adequate parking lot. It is one of the real needs of the community. The check for $1,300 from the General Electric company for beautification of the park areas in the Subsistence Homestead division has been received and turned over to the Chamber of Commerce. The money will be used to good purpose and the beauty of the lawns and parks in the division will forever denote a generous gift by a public spirited donor. The tramps and hoboes can move on to other cities and climates, since the city has decided to close the lodging quarters maintained for them north of town. Shelter was given the unfortunates during the cold winter months and now that weather conditions permit travel and unheated quarters, the "knights of the road" wi have to pass up Dhcatur in planning an over night stop. The new city ordinances prohibiting peddling and house-to-house canvassing and requiring dogs to be tagged and registered become effective this week. Final publications are being given today arid tomorrow. The anti-peddler's ordinance becomes operative at once and the council has extended the time of obtaining dog tags and licenses to May 1. Requirements may seem a little out of step now. but within a short time all the "kinks" will be worked out and everyone will wonder why the city did not have such regulatory measures before. * The school year is drawing to a elost and plans have already been completed for the annual commencement exercises of Decatur high school. May 24. Professor .1. Raymond Schutz of Manchester college and Indiana Extension university, will deliver the address. There are 61 candidates tor diplomas, one of the largest, classes in history of the school and we hope that commencement day will see each one rewarded for his or her efforts. Professor Schutz is an able and interesting lecturer and will deliver, au address ot laarit to the graduates and their many ineuds.

It appears that there is only one step left for the school trustees of Wabash township to take and that is build a new building. The present school has been condemned by the state inspector and the state tire marshal and classes huve been dismissed. Naturally it means a financial burden on the community, but regardless of cost the lives of children cannot be endangered. It is claimed that the foundations under the building have been weakened from vibrations caused by the heavy trucks which pass over the state road, east of the site. Part of the cost of a new structure might be obtained from federal funds and township and school authorities are investigating the possibility. In less than a month, Adolph Ochs, noted publisher of the New York Times, followed his business manager, Louis Wiley, in death. Mr. Ochs, who went to New York 40 years ago with a modest capital, purchased the Times and made it one of the leading papers in the < world, died in Chattanooga. Tenn.. J while visiting relatives. He start- 1 ed work as a "printers devil", be-j came publisher of the Tennessee: paper and then embarked on his New York career. Without a college education, he became famous I as an educator, publisher and through his paper grew rich. From a boyhood job of $2.50 a week he lived to see the day when in the name of philanthropy he donated sums ranging from a few thousand to a million. His paper is probably one of the best edited and most prosperous in the country. Ochs carved out a great career for himself, was honored by college and university, national and stale governments. although he never held office and made his influence fell throughout the world. He was one of the organizers and first presidents of tlie Associated Press, the world-wide news gathering agency. His death removes one of the great men of the country and to the younger generation, his life holds i a certain magnetic touch. o N A L s’] By OCTAVINE For persons who believe that hunan destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.
