Along with spring, plan to paint your house, store front or whatever you own and have everything looking bright and cheery for the summer and Centennial week. The Chicago Iferald and Examiner carried an editorial devoted to the merits and benefits of Indiana’s tax law. The article stated, j ‘‘lndiana’s sensible law should be studied not only by her sister stat-‘ es needing better revenue laws.! but also by members of Congress.” I The tight has finally broken out in the Doc Townsend old age pen sion plan group, one of the head men resigning in face of the sen-1 atorial investigation underway.: Movements of this kind nourishi for a while, some get good fat jobs out of it and in the long run the public learns it has been yorked. 1 You don’t give a birthday party to make money. Sentiment prompts vou to observe the natal dav of the honored person. The Centen- 1 nial is the celebration of Decatur s 100th birthday and to figure it will' make you any money is a selfish way to enter into the plans. If a person gives . he always reaps the benefits from community growth. The county commissioners have taken the right step in seeing that adequate fire insurance is carried I on the court house and other pub-[ lie buildings. In case of fire andj total destruction of these build-j ings, it would cost a pretty penny i to replace them and cause undue tax hardships. It’s never the best policy to lock the barn after the horse is stolen. Young Jesse Livermore stepped up before the court and took the blame for the shooting fray in which he and his mother engaged in last Thanksgiving. That's about the way it should be settled. It's a good boy that protects his mother, regardless of the circumstances. If you have moved, changed your name, or were not registered before, go the county clerks office and register if you want to vote in Novembdr Judge De Voss is consideiing ap pointees for the new county department of public welfare, which agency will take over the duties of the board of charities, the board of guardians and the task of administering the old age pension law. The appointments, together with that of a director, who shall investigate all cases ami applications and report to the super vising body, are named in compliance with the new state laws. The Federal Reserve Hanks have adopted a policy, effective May 1. that 55 per cent margin will have to be posted in playing the stock market. That will eliminate much of the skyrocketing of stocks, for

a person will have to own more than half of the amount which he has on margin. It should lend to make the Stock Exchange business more of a retail business and prevent the orgies of 1929 and the ticker tape period. It shottld not be so unusual for men to sit and listen to a woman speaker. Most of do that every day and enjoy it. Mrs Simmons, hailing from a 300 acre Missouri farm will be the spellbinder at the Indiana Republican Editorial meeting next month and it is the iTrst time that a woman has been selected as principal speaker of such an important gathering No doubt the men will enjoy her talk, will be impressed with her sincerity and learn something about politics and what the women of the { country are thinking about. Indianapolis is after the hit and-■ run driver and is considering drafting an ordinance which would lend to apprehend the fellow who kaocks them down and runs away. The Star comments as follows: Recent automobile deaths by hit-and-run drivers should spur off-, orts to draft an ordinance by which fugitive cars could be trailed. A plan suggested for action by the city council would require automobile repair shops and garages to report minor jobs which might be occasioned by the impact of a car with a victim. Crumpled fenders, broken headlights, lost crank slot covers and door handles and other evidences of crashing into something besides another cjtr would be reported to the police. The owner then would be forced to explain how the damage to the automobile occurred. Answers To Test Questions I Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed | on Page Two 1. Duramen. 2.
