Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. The cool weather has slowed spring up a little but with Easter at hand, the real stuff is just around the corner. Now all the Republicans of the fourth district are supposed to be for Mr. Hoover which suits all the Democrats just fine. The recorder's race will create a lot of interest this year because of the number of starters and bebecause in most of the other contests the entries are limited to one or two. It looks as though some of those connected with the old age pension plan were not willing to wait for any such law to be passed but j took care of their incomes out of. the general promotion pot. Advertise it and sell. That’s what makes business and it works just as sure as you try it. This is the time of year when every mer-1 chant should be taking advantage I of the better times. Just what Bruno carried with him to the grave will never be known but a lot of magazines' would have given a lot of real money for his thoughts and a true story of his part in the kidnapping. Mr. Hoover talked in Fort Wayne and was given a courteous reception as should be given any ex-' president. Os course those who heard him were largely in sympathy with him before they went and it is not likely the anti New Deal talk changed many votes. Senator Borah was turned down flat in New York, which was no surprise to him or to any one else who follows the ]x>litical game. The east has no use for Borah or for any other westerner whom they can't handle.

Now it is claimed that from ■ source has come an offer of milt lions of dollars to the Townsend old pge pension crowd to form a third party, believing this would 1 defeat Roosevelt. We don't beL lieve even such measures as that will turn out • the man who has , brought us from darknes into the i lights of prosperity. ' The time limit is up for tiling as candidates and the races are , on now, the results to be known 1 after the primary is over on May sth. It will be well to remember that the important part about a campaign is the fall election and that those interested in their party should be careful in seeing that they do not make the going any tougher. Prices on farm lands are showing a steady increase and if this year proves to be another profitable one. you may expect the prices per acre to get back to something near normal. Improved farms in this county should be worth $l5O per acre and will be one of these days. However you can still find some bargains and its a splendid time to invest. After all there is nothing safer. The community owes a vote of thanks to those members of the Board of Charities and the Children's Guardians for the excellent work done during the years past. In existence thirty years these men and women, some of whom have served many years, have done much to aid the under privileged ' children of the community. Work- ! ing without pay, they have peri formed these duties solely because * they believed in it and were kind j enough and willing to give it the time and attention. It cost twelve hundred thousand , dollars to capture and convict ' Bruno Hauptmann and many will always feel that a lot of it could have been saved if we had been a littte firmer in our decisions. I The sentimental let good judgment get away witli them for after all the laws must be upheld. He was given a fair trial and found guilty by the jury. The rest of the proceedure is fixed by law. It will be a relief to the country to know j that at least this part of the affair is over, if others are guilty they will probably not escape in the long run. • o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ -»l 1.

With the outbreak of the Civil War, Clara Barton volunteered her services. All I through the war she endured the priva- . tiors and dangers of working behind the t firing lines. With the war oven she carI tied on her most difficult labor, searching for missing men, and identified more than 12,G00 graves. A trip to Europe during the Franco Prussian War brought Clara face to face with the Inter* national Red Cross, and in 1879, inspired her to organize the Red Cross of America. She acted as its chief until 1904, doing noble relief work, not only m war times, but in times aS national disasters, such as floods and earthquakes. It can truly be said of her that she helped relieve the world s sufferings. —' T'!

A. Webb declared today. Rumors to th ■ effect that this Southwestern World’s Fair would carry over into 1937 were declared without foundation by its management. "The year 1936 is Texas Centennial year in which the Texas Centennial Exposition commemorates I a hundred years of Texas independence and progress." Mr. Webb says, i "This anniversary of freedom is i observed only on e in a hundred j years and we have not even con- : sidered extending the Exposition i period into 1937. We will close our I show November 29 as scheduled.’’ : lit cent national expositions have I >et-n extend d into seeeond year I events as in the case of A Century of Progress at Chicago and the San Di -go Exposition. Since the Texas Centennial Exposition commemorates a defininte historical haipp-n---ing of one hundred years ago. it cculd not logically be continued as a Centennial observance beyond Centennial year, those in charge i oint out. August Walters and Leo Kirsch ! will leave this evening for a business trip to Detroit.

Clara Barton came from a famfly of echool teachers. When A she was eleven years old, herw brother fell from the roof of a barn. Clara nursed him for the next two years, and was un doubtedly influenced at this time toward a career of nursing. r& * ti'WSwv \' Ot- \ Jr- ”,

It will not be used if you prefer that it not be I Way Back Yonder Editor Democrat: Being greatly interested in the I coming Centennial celebration in ! Decatnr 1 am going to make a suggestion that al this time the calling of the attention of the people to conditions or incidents in the city’s early history might assist al i arousing additional interest in the centennial. Therefore 1 make this suggestion: One of the local papers of this I city carries a column headed "Who Remembers When?" and follows with some incident that occurred many years ago. Let me give you j a sample of one of my Decatur recollections: Who Remembers When un old frame building, located where the Decatur Daily Democrat, I office is now located was used as | la furniture store and repair shop? j Tlie machinery in this shop being , operated by a horse-power contrap- ’ tion on the rear of the lot. and the ; J old horse hitched to a crane went 1 "round and round" for hours at a i i time and thus operated the machinery in the building.
