As for us we would like to seel Joe Louis work on King Carol in- i stead of a meek a n humble' masseur. ---■ ~ If the Groundhog insure about six weeks more of winter, we'll t take a gamble on it, providing the spring breezes arrive at the end of that period. We’re pretty liberal in this! country at that. A man convicted of Writing threatening to President Roosevelt receives only a ini-day jail sentence. It seems the weather is on a rampage throughout the world. Down in South Africa, the has was ar, big as cocoanuts and 19 j natives were killed by the falling, stones. Must have been the tail I end of the sub-zero blast. Its funny that all these prison 1 investigations must he made someone is killed. Why not do it before? Surely the guards and prison authorities pre not dumb to what is going on and a little; action beforehand might prevent riots, murders and disorders within the prison walls. People have a lot of time for reading these days. This clearly shown in the renewal campaign conducted each January and February by the Daily Democrat. Despile the cold weather many of uir subscribers have called at the office or have mailed in their renewals for another year. It's a good lime to advertise, because readers tell us they read every line in the paper. Jess Sellemeyer of Los Angeles, a native son of Decatur who is happiest when visiting among his hundreds of friends in and near the old home town, writes that he is planning on coming here next summer tor the big Centennial He will be greeted with all the enthusiasm and friendliness so easily bestowed by people of this city and the reunion will not only be a happy one for him but for his friends as well. 0 On Wednesday the city of Indianapolis will celebrate its centennial of the obtaining of its ‘lrst charter. The Chamber of Commerce is planning a birthday party at which six former mayors will appear on the program and give short talks on the early history of the capital city. Judge Thomas L. Sullivan is the dean of the former mayors. He is Utt years old and piayed an important part in the building of the Hoosier city. This is indeed a Centennial year.

Although the coal dealeru are flooded with orders, business is not so good. They are unable to get the prepared sized of coal and consequently orders cannot be fill- ’ cd. The coal operators are also ; having trouble. The mining of coal is a Job In itself and for every ton mined, about half comes under the head of slack. This grade Is not moving now, the price is dropping, cars are loaded with It and what seems like a harvest to the person on the outside, Is more or less a problem for the men unfl organizations concerned in getting coal shipped to dealers. Special District Attorney Dewey is smashing thqj white slave ring in New York Ciw His deputies raided the leading haunts and resorts In the great metropolis and and the leaders in the traffic of, selling souls are believed caught , The country should back the otli- ' cials in helping route the worst curse known to mankind. Mon and women who take innocent young girls and subject them to a life of shame and drudgery should be beheaded or at least placed behind bars for life. They are scum of the earth. Surely America need not let these conditions exist. * ° t Answers To Test Questions Below' are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two « « 1. Derelict. 2. Italy. 3.
