The April showers will bring May dowers and most every one . will be glad to see them again. It has been a long, cold winter. The baseball season is at hand ] and the office boy will manage toI get a lot of afternoons off on account of the illness of his grandmother or some one. else. It always so and always will be. We hope the primary vote in this county will be a large one. at least average. While there are not as many candidates as usual in most of the races, neverthless it is Im-[ portant that you show an interest. and assist in selecting the ticket, i —' : Beautiful Easter services were held in the churches of this city and all over the county. It is one of the most seriously observed holidays of the year and surely no more beautiful exercises can be given to those who think seriously of religious affairs. You can still get one of the Good Will Bonds and ought to have one to keep in the years to come. The committee is anxious to close their campaign for cash and will appreciate you sending in what ever amount you feel you can spare for the big Centennial celebration. Chairman Fletcher of the Repub- : lican party has employed seven I brain trusters to find fault with ' others college men who have been 1 working on various problems. In '. other words he favors them but wants to name them. Its a great game—this American politics. Isn't it a bit peculiar that every thing the Democrats do is wrong for the G. O. P. press these days and every thing proposed by their leaders is just the proper cure? And its only three years and a little more since these same leaders stepped down from office after making a complete failure of their attempts. All Indiana state parks will open for the season on May Ist and by the way if you want to enjoy yourself you cau do so to advantage by visiting any or several of these parks. They are wonderful and becoming more so each year. Don’t fail to stop when you get near one .for you will be well cared for and enjoy every minute. Gerald Swope of the General Electric reports a gain of business the first quarter of this year as compared to last of ten million dollars. Business keeps moving up even though Mr. Hoover and others are stumping the country and telling the people that every thing has gone haywire since he was defeated. As a campaigner he is a great humorist. If you happen to get a package about the size of a cigar box postmarked Wilkes Barre, Pa., better let it soak in a pail of water a while before you attempt to open it. Some wild man is sending out

[bombs from there, neatly wrapped pi and tied up with fancy ribbons, looking harmless but when the lid is loosened, boom goes the machine and several people have met death *’ as a result of his Easter gifts. President Roosevelt is back ou t the job aud enjoyed it, after a few days at sea, off the coast of 11 Florida. He brought back uo great I yarns of big catches but he came > | with a tanned and rested face • which is something when doing a ' job like bis. Just how one human > i ■ can take it as he has the past three > years is beyond comprehension, [ but he seems to do it and hold bls own better than most presidents have. The dirigible Hindenburg limped into Berlin after a trip to Rio De Janeiro, indicating them to still be somewhat unsafe, even for Germany, where they have had the best ones ever built. Experience in this country has convinced everyone but a few faddists that we have no business spending millions and endangering lives. The effort now being made in congress to get an appropriation for the purpose of building lighter ‘Ban ' air ships should be discarded for 1 j goods and the development of the practical airplane given more attention. Indianapolis is really insisting on the observance of traffic laws add each day several hundred are j receiving stickers and paying fines. For some time it was easy for the average person to escape the penalties of the law by coaxing a little , or having some one else do it for j them but the numerous fatalities i in that city the past few weeks has : caused the officials to really get busy. Now if you double park, exceed speed limits, or do any of the I other things which the laws say , you shall not, it will cost you real ■ money and a second offense may r carry a jail sentence. — o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two 1.
