Governor Hoffman of New Jersey was of course able to find any kind of advice he wanted, when he went outside the attorney general's office to find it. The public will be glad when the Hauptmann cause is disposed of. Indiana has been fortunate so far as to floods though much of the country has suffered greater than usual. The spring here has been about as perfect as could be asked for and the frost has disappeared gradually, permitting the rivers and creeks to carry off the water without much overflow. Thanks a million. Not to be outdone by Frank Mann or Duke Stoops, Mrs. Jennie Furman, loyal Decaturite sends in her check for live dollars and a promise to make a speech during Centennial week. And we can guarantee you that it will be well worth hearing, with facts and fun | and statistics for every old tinier. The city of Indianapolis is one' of the dangerous centers in the, country it seems for autoists and i pedestrians. The past several' years the casualty list there has j been one of the largest in the court-, try and they are keeping up their record this year, regardless of the campaign for safety put on the past year by the newspapers there. The sale of Good Will Bonds goes merrily on with assurance of complete success, an achievement in itself worth while for no ordinary committee size could or would meet such a request for funds with which to celebrate even so great an event. Feel sure that the event will attract nation wide attention for remember Decatur is already known as the “city where the lads on the street say good morning to strangers.” While the G. O. P. leaders rant and rail and bewail the times, President Roosevelt smiles and goes fishing, resting up for those days when he will talk to his people about the fireside with the knowledge that his statements will be listened to and believed. He has performed a wonderful job in three years and with a conservative attitude for the future will in another term as president, do the greatest performance ever given by any ruler any where. James Kenney, widely known and beloved citizen of Adams county, for years a member of the Adams county council, is dead and hundreds of admiring friends join its in extending heartfelt sympathies to tho bereaved family. To know this kind man was to love him and his advice was wise and to be depended upon. Uncle Jimmy had many close friends in this city as well as all over the county and he

' will be mikkcd during the years to come. As a citizen he ranked high and as an official, always capable, honest and progressive. * HERMAN H. MYERS: t Again we bow our heads in sorrow as the grim reaper stalks, taking from earthly scenes Herman t 11. Myers, brilliant young city att torney. civic leader and popular townsman. It seems so unreal , that many cannot yet believe that I this untimely end has come to one * who was so active and so willing J in all community affairs. , Mr. Myers met his death Satur- * day morning, when the car in ' which he was riding with James Beattey, Jr., and Paul Crozier, in Indianapolis, was struck by another car. He lived only a few hours and news ot his death came almost as soon as friends here had been notified of the accident. The fact that the driver ot the other car is . held because ot intoxication and driving without license does not lessen the pain of the loved ones ' and friends of Mr. Myers who are so reluctant to part with him. 'j Death is hard at any time but more so when it strikes one who had not even arrived at the nooni time ot life. Herman Myers was ! capable, efficient, ambitious and always glad to serve, a thorough gentleman and with personality that attracted him to those whom he contacted. With a successful i future just ahead, he had gone far in the few years since he entered i the law field. As city attorney he was making an excellent record i I 1 and in his general practise he rankied high as a lawyer ot integrity ■ i ' and ability. He was not only | ■ recognized here but had a wide acquaintance over the state and his services were frequently demanded. His home life was happy. I his business connections ideal and ■ his standing with those in all ! walks of lite were such as to make ithese hours very dreary. I Herman Myers was a good citi-1 II zen and we shall miss him greatly ; I as will so many others. We know • j not why such tragedies must hap--1 pen and we can only turn to Him I I who doe th all things for the best, iTo the grief stricken wife, son, | mother and sister, we extend sinI cerest sympathies and the assnrI ance that this young man has left his mark upon a community which I will long remember him with love I and respect. From far and near, from high and low and from rich and poor have come messages of regret and condolence, which must help those to whom the loss is heaviest and hardest to bear. Its hard to say goodbye to Herman Myers. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the | Test Questions printed ou Page Two ♦ ♦ 1. Swedish engineer. A Hawaiian Islands. 3.

The electorage was regimented ; as never before even in Germany. : People who were on the doubtful • list were visited by nazis who offered to “escort" them to the polls. I Frau Fritz Past h, living in a Berlin suburb, gave birth to a son at 8:15 a. m., yesterday and a daughter at 8:30. At 10 she voted. Yet despite this pressure on vot- | ers, no doubt was left that Geri mans vindicated Hitler s statement that the country was behind him in his foreign policy. Hitler got 93.5 per cent of the vote in the last reichstag election in November. 1933, after his withdrawal from the League ot Nations. In his assumption of the title of fuehrer and chancellor after the nazi blood purge of June, 1934. and the death of President Paul Von Hindenburg, he received 88.1 per cent. The vote was regarded general- ! ly as Germany s united answer to I the other Locarno treaty powers and to the League of Nations. Hitler was understood to feel that he has been vindicated by the only court he recognizes—the German people. The vote in a sense was one of patriotism, yet also p trta oisasmwi ffG- ARFODWILN patriotism was linked so closely with Hitler personally that the vote was one for him as fuehrer, too. o Woman, 101 Feted Bucyrus, 0., »— (UP) — On Mrs. Susan Ensminger's 101st birtl»day, residents of the vicinity, following a six-year-old custom showered her with hundreds of congratulatory cards and dozens of plants —_— -x> —• (— Hocpital Record Unique Buston, ‘—(UP) — Jacob Messenger, 80. first man to undergo an operation at the Bc.ston City Hospital, died 65 years later at the same hospital. o —_ TO HOLD MYERS FROM PAGE ONE) car.
