The work relief program will start in Decatur Monday. Several projects will be started and employment given to a number of men. It will be the start of a busy season. Governor McNutt has been named to President Roosevelt’s WPA advisory board. He will be a member of a committee that will advise with federal officials on the work relief program and his knowledge of conditions will be of great help to the board. The G-Men have entered the man hunt for Earl Jacobs, killer of Arlie Foster. The country will be combed and eventually the maniac will be run down. It seems that the Fort Wayne police could have apprehended the criminal by notifying local authorities to surround his hide-out. taking advantage of the minutes during which the gunman escaped. America lost its smi'e when news of the tragic deaths of Will Rog--eta and Wiley Post was flashed the world. To say the world was shocked is putting it mildly. The people were stunned and heads a.re bowed in grief. Probably no other man in the country held the place in the hea.t of the American people as did Rogers. The whole world wishes it hadn't happened. To take advantage of the work relief labor and provide employment for those who need it, municipalities must have funds to purchase material. This will require some additional appropriations, but the improvements accomplished will be done tor less than if the entire cost wa.s shouldered on the city alone. Street and sewer repairs can be made, all labor being furnished by the WPA and it wi'l mean a saving to communities l»ter. TRAGIC FATE OF ROGERS AND POST: Will Rogers. and Wi'ey Post, who came to a tragic death in the ‘Alaskan wilds, were outstanding supporters of air travel and had done much for the cause of aviation. Post was recognized as one of the most intrepid of pilots. He had circumnavigated the globe alone in his plane and had established many records for speed and altitude. Rogers had seen a large part of the world from the air. His trips to Latin America and other lands were" almost invariably made by airplane a.nd attracted attention to the rapid progress and comparative Safety of air travel. It is v.n..fortunate that his death and that of Wiley Po»t may arouse needless fear as to the safety of the means of transport they did so much to advance. It will be recognized, of course, that they were in a private ship on an uncharted course and

taking chances that would not be encountered by any one on a ■regular passenger route. Will Rogers was unique among . the comedians and characters in the public eye. He had a following that included movie patrons in ( all parts of the world. He was a . fine type of American, a man our people were pleased to have represent us before foreign audiences. ! Mt. Rogers had done much for the [ movie industry. He stood for clean. , wholesome humor and pictures. 1 The faot that the people flocked to see his films undoubtedly wa.< a potent influence in the general elevation of the tone of movies. A man of humble origin. Will Rogers worked his way up from thte cattle ranges of Oklahoma to tame and wealth because of fidelity to just what he was. He had a never-failing supply of homely humor and philosophy. He was always natural, just Will Rogers, whether he was on the stage, in the movies or hobnobbing with the great and near-great. He left a lasting Impress and a place In the hearts of thte people thaa can not be tilled. —Indianapolis Star. ■ —o- — ♦ I STAR SIGNALS bv OCTAVINE ♦ ♦ For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

Set Out Your Pansies This Summer And You Will Have Them In Bloom For Tulip Time Next Spring. They Are Easy to Grow. Pansy plants such as are sold in flower in early spring may be grown quite easily by the gardener who has a cold frame. The seed is sown in early August in a seed bed which can be shaded and watered. Seed of one of the giant strains should be obtained if one wants large flowers. If small flowers are preferred, the so-called tufted or Scotch pansies will do better. Violas may also be given the same treatment. All pansies are members of the viola family, but the name pansy is applied to those which have "faces.” If you have a seed bed made of fine soil shaded with a canopy of cheesecloth or lath, and which can be watered, sow the seed in rows. If you have no such seed bed prepare a flat shallow box full of sifted soil in the usual manner and sow the pansies in that. It can be placed in a shady spot and kept well watered until the seedlings appear. In sowing spread the eeed thinly. Mix sand with it if necessary to prevent overcrowding. If the seeds are too thick it will be difficult to disentangle the roots of the seedlings when time ccrnes to move them. As soon as the seeds sprout they should be given all

the light possible and plenty of fresh air. Do not let them dry out. Protect them from the midday sun. When the seedlings have made their first rough leaves they should be transplanted to other flats, where they have more space, or to the cold frame. Florists usually move them to flats where they are planted 2 inches each way; this is called "prick-! ing out.” They are allowed to i grow here until they are small' sturdy plants. The amateur may | short cut this procedure and move I the seedlings directly from the j seed bed or* first flat to the cold I frame. Soil in the cold frame should I not be overmanured, but should be | light and friable and reasonably fertile. The plants should be set in rows. 4 inches apart in the rows, and C inches between the rows. Let the plants grow in the open through the fall until the ground begins to freeze. Then fill up the cold frame with dry leaves and cover it with the sash! or boards. In severe weather the ’ sash can be covered with straw ■ mats or any such covering, but' this is not usually needed. In the spring as soon as frost begins to come out of the ground, the leaves should be taken off the pansy plants and the sash put on the frame. The management from now on is the same as any other planting in the spring. The pan- ■ sies will bloom under the glass i much earlier than they would i outdoors, and ’you win have pati sies to set out in the border when i the tulips begin to bloom.
