Just when we were getting ready to discard the red flannels along conies a nor’ westerner that makes us dig up the old heavy overcoat If Huey Long ever becomes dictator of this country, will he hang those who now call him "a bellowing jackass" or will he employ them? A man with an income of $1,004*,000 after lie has paid his income : tax has left $427,000. Well, he ought to get along on that but its probably hard to give up. Minnesota now has a law requiring physicians to immediately re-' port to police ail injuries from | firearms, brought them for treatment. That state has been a favorite hangout for gangsters. It is claimed that four million ’ cars are still in storage because of! the depression. Owners apparently have not given up all hope of touring again or they would have swapped the old busses for meat and potatoes. So far as we have heard former President Hoover confined his social calls to those political wisewho can tell hint how he i stands with the people. He motor-j Cd through Decatur Sunday but made no stops.

When President Roosevelt start-, ed his CCC camps the boys were called “sapi liug planters '. Now the wisdom of reforesting this country is evident as dust storms and cyclones cause enormous damage and the scientists declare the only cure is more trees. Thousands of youngsters over the country are praying for the restoration of health to James Martin. He is postmaster at Santa Claus, Indiana and has for years handled more Christmas mail than any one else in the whole world. Ifo is suffering from a paralytic stroke. The conservation league banquet here next Monday evening will be an enjoyable event and all who can possibly get a seat at the big table should certainly do so. You will enjoy every minute of it and just now conservation is one of the important steps towards economic recovery. John D. Rockefeller says making money is very simple, requiring saving. If you make S3O a week he says you should save three dollars of it and if you make JI2U a week, you should put half of it away. Then what? How do you keep it earning and how can you hang on to It? Thu baseball season is here again and all over the country the interest is the greatest in all time. Os course the crowds will not be large until the weather gets so you can drink pop ami eat peanuts but the sport pages of the newspapers will furaiah every Uu v.

The widening of state highways cannot come too soon for with the ever increasing number of automobiles and the greater speed, danger is so great that the number of accidents is sure to occur unless we provide more space for the traffic. James D. Adams of the state highway commission realizes these facts and is starting this year in a real program of safer highways. Frank Knox of Chicago, Senator Hastings of Nebraska, Mr. Hoover of Palo Alto, California, ami several others are making an undercover study of the political situation with a view as to what they can do to put the "outs’’ in next year. So far there is no indication they have found any thing that makes it look like the old fashioned "lead pipe cinch” to which G. O. I’, leaders are accustomed. Huey Long may ride the winds, but he cannot direct the storm. When the battle lines are drawn in 1936. he will either be out of the picture or be tagged out on his way to first base. Jim Farley will resign his postoffice job but it won t be on account of Huey’s outburst. It will be to run Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s spirited campaign for re-election next year.—Real America. The “safety first" movement in industry has brought about a gratifying decline ih deaths and accidents. Unfortunately, the "safety first" movement in the motor vehicle zone has not been effective. In the third danger zone, the home, progress has not been made. Too much emphasis can not be placed, therefore, ou the hazards that exist in every home. Home accident sla-1 tistics show that the kitchen is the most dangerous room. Rag rugs, ho t dishes, washing machines, stoves and knives figure in most of the kitchen accidents which made up 34 per cent of all home accidents in 1934. When the housewife goes from the kitchen to the living yqym or basemeut, the acct-t deiit’Tazard is reduced 20 per cent on the basis of 1934 statistics. Serious home accidents outnumber serious factory accidents two to one.—South Bend Tribune.

We see farms put together; corporations are monopolized; functions of state are centralized. 1 And to what purpose? For the • purpose of giving the combination more power. And as the aim was so is the ultimate - result, more' autocratic power. Today our schools stand upoß ■ the threshhold of a prospective change. Forces are at work trying to push the school system into a new centralization unit or county unit, not that there is a demand for it but that those at the head of it wUI have more power. Our' schools form one of the valuable! bulwarks of the nation. They receive our young folks while in their • plastic stage and mold them into I future mau and womanhood. Youth . needs guidance of th-y right sort I and the school is the agency on the' spot. To get oil the subject a little to drive home a point. Who is to blame for the widespread crime of today? Society and not one else but. Youth is brought up trained ; by both church and school to cer- j tain ideals of thought, honesty of | action and duty to their fellow ■ men. After graduation they find 1 that greed rules the world, that i crime and dishonesty are rampant and justice is confused. Is it any wonder that some arc led to crime? And today we arc .passing j through the process of more and more centralization of government. Those with the power in their hands want more power. Witness the light last winter to ditch the primary the last stronghold, the last check by the people; Primary and home rule is all that keeps this country from being another IP H 0 N E 359 | There is Still Time for EASTER CLEANING HATS-COATS-SVITS SHEETS BROS.

| Europe. All government has a chec k. The two houses check each oilier in [ congress and the state legislature. The county council can. if it will.J I check the expenditures in the j ! county. The advisory boards of a i township can check the trustee. . ' but only about one ot ten boards; has the least suspicion to that es- ■ feet. Now under the new plan of a I county unit where is the check?! There is none. Under the old sys- ■ • tem usually the trustee and board are average taxpayers aiul they know what and where the tax ; comes from. Under the new plan: with no check on the school offi-i 1 cials aud run perhaps by a visionary who knows what the schools will cost? The taxpayer will have no recourse except to pay the bill. , Many people are objecting to their taxes and they are parity to blame. i Here are three good reasons why j tax is hard to pay now: First, farm prices age out of joint with industrial prices. Second, some people are indifferent as to what causes ; high tax. Third, school bonds and road bonds. In four or five years ' some townships will be paid off on ' these and their tax will drop, in some instances, 60 cents on the ; hundred. As to the argument that the i schools unuer a county unit would be more efficient this writer doesn't I see it that way. The present trustee system has given capable service aud are answerable to the home folks. To illuslrate the

point, one trustee after the election and when his term started gave out his intention to release all teachers except two in the consolidated school. That might seem a little drastic but it was seeming- ; ly popular demand. About the silliest thing outside ! Richmond is the proposed uniting I of the present counties in Indiana I into districts.

United Brethren Mission Despite the inclement weather on Monday evening, a good sized crowd gathered at the Mission, i showing their interest in the revival now in progress. ; Rev. Pau! D. Parker of Fort Wayne and a delegation from his 11 church will have charge of the ser-1 vices tonight. Rev. O. Wilbur Fix, i| the pastor, preached a very timely I sermon last nignt from the first clause of the tenth verse of the, eighth chapter of Ecclesiastics. 11 "And 1 saw the wicked buried who had come and gone from the place' of the holy." He said in part. “A man facing J death becomes very candid.

being saved. One vestibule of the church had a sign, no smoking inside. Our nation was founded on religious principle?, today it is policy rather than principle. How can a man have come and gone from the church and be lost. Too many do not enjoy the old fashioned prayer meeting. I’d rather go to judgment from Imuthen Africa than from enlightened America If T were not saved. Opportunity Is a fine thing every man has an opportunity to lay up treasures and be rich in heavenly things. The people Solomon talked to here are people who had opportunity and failed to grasp it.
