Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies Work with a zest and get the thrill of doing the job well. The spring showers and balmy 1 days are working wonders with the lawns. It won't be long until you'll have to push the mower. As far as we are concerned we're ■ glad the gallows borrowed from ; Illinois will not become a permanent fixture in Indiana. Former mayor Jimmy Walker seems to take on wisdom with the I years. He'll have a lot more fun being papa, than he did as playboy of New York. Get the spring shopping fever. It's only two weeks until Easter and from present indications the style holiday is to be one of the brightest in history. If you can t afford a whole outfit, get a new hat, a pair of shoes, or even a necktie and you'll feel happier. Times are better. We can point to the proof. In 1933, a certain stock was at low value and today it has increased at least $lO a share. Multiply that by a fewthousand shares and see where values have gone. Roosevelt restored confidence in the people and business has enjoyed some of its best years, bringing about increased dividends and higher values. The petunia has been adopted as the official Centennial flower and the Civic section of the Woman's club requsets residents to plant them in abundance this summer. Vacant lots, intersections to the city, space in front of public and commercial buildings, schools, churches and homes can be beautified if a bed of petunias are set out. They will be in bloom during Centennial week and will add much in conveying a message of welcome to visitors. April 1, will mark the opening of the street, sidewalk and sewer construction programs under the WPA. In this city, much work will be done on the streets and a big sidewalk construction program is planned. Although the number of employes on the WPA roll is lower than any time during the past three years, city officials hope to ' ave sufficient help to make the necessary repairs to streets and to get everything in shape for the summer The next few months will find most communities busy as bees. The Red Cross reports that at least 387,000 persons are in need of relief in the stricken flood areas in the cast. The number is no much larger than first estimated that the Red Cross asks chapters throughout the country to appeal to the public to increase their contributions by fifty per cent. In Adams county the original quota was SI,OOO. About 60 per cent had already been subscribed and in view of the increased demand for funds, the charitable heart of the

people will respond to the request for larger contributions. The Red Cross is doing a wonderful work and if it were not for this chart table agency, men. women and children would have no way of obtaining food and shelter. It would be a great step forward if electric service could be extended to every farm home in the county. The farmers in this section have been more progressive than in other parts of the state and rural electrification was started here several years ago. The City plant now has about 75 miles of rural lines and serves more than 450 patrons, not including those at Monroe, which place is furnished current at the Decatur corporate limits from the municipal plant. If the campaign of the Rural Electrification Membership Corporation is successful, miles of new lines can be built through the I government's loan plan and the ! convenience of electricity extended to a wide territory It should; be Adams county’s aim to have I every farm home electrified. The ' City plant has sufficient capacity : io serve additional distribution lines, low rates and good service. ————o * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ March 26, 1916, was Sunday. o ♦- ♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦— —— ♦ 1.

ONLY ONE MAIN BILL APPROVED I Two “Must” Measures Still Await Action In Congress Washington. Mar. 26 - (U.K) —The present congress, which began Its labors almost three months ago, today had only one major new deal measure to its credit. Two "must" proposals—the tax program and the $1,500,000,000 relief appropriations — remain to be acted upon before senators and representatives can pack their bags and go home to prepare for approaching elections. Enactment of the soil conservation program, designed to replace the invalidated AAA. is congress’ only major achievement in response to President Roosevelt’s demands. But that does not mean that the legislators have been twiddling their thumbs since Jan. 3. Congress had l>een in session only a week when the house ram made through the $1.730.000,000

soldiers' bonus payment b.ll despite presidential opposition. The senate passed the measure on Jan 20. Both bodies approved it again over the president s veto. The neutrality law, designed to lessen the nation’s chances of becoming involved in a foreign eon flict, was extended until May 1. 1937. by speedy action of both houses in mld-Februury. This measure, however, was not classed at a part of the administration's “must program.” When the supreme court outlawed the original AAA, Mr. Roosevelt asked congress io repeal the accompanying tobacco, cotton, and potato control acts. The request was granted immediately. Two appropriation bills —the deficiency and independent offices supply measures — have been put through and signed by the president. Eight others are progress ing slowly. The house ways and means committee is ready to start hearings on the tax program but it will be several weeks before the legislation is in form for a vote in either house. Pending speedier disposition of the tax bill, there has been little action on the president's relief appropriation request. Although congressional wheel appears to be moving slowly, hun-
