Wayne Coy is encouraging any investigation of WPA affairs, because he knows there has been nothing irregular. Honest officials welcome audits of their books and affairs and those in touch know that this program has been carried out carefully and without partianship. The old nuisance—daylight saving time—is on again and those visiting a number of the towns and cities which insist on continuing this proceedure, will do well to remember the difference. Decatur, which tried it a time or two some years ago, seems definitely decided to continue on the regular standard. Dr. Fred Patterson says the pageant to be given here during the Centennial will be wonderful and we are willing to take Fred's recommendation for he has had much experience and has much natural tayent along this line. You, will enjoy this feature and of i course you won't miss it during the big week. William Randolph Hearst, politics unknown, is trying to elect Governor Landon to the presidency. If he doesn't come any closer than he did in electing himself some years ago, there is noth ing to worry about. It wouldn't be considered very wholesome if he was the man behind the throne in this country. Max Sehmeliug. former world's heavy weight champion, has arrived from Germany and will go into training for his match with Joe Louis. He arrives with a broad smile und expects to do his best to regain the crown lost a couple of years ago. Most of the sports writers believe he will lose his smile the night he meets the bomber Louis. Ms. Roosevelt is not only a great president but an unusual speaker and hie talks over the radio always interest millions. He has away of convincing his listeners and those who believe in him have never had reason to doubt his good judgment. He has brought us out of the worst depression ever known in this country and he will keep us out if given the opportunity which al this tine seems assured. Distribution ot ten per cent of the funds held in the Old Adams

County bank are now being disri tributed, making a total of approximately slxty-threc per cent paid up to date. Coming at this time when tax paying is at hand, the moat of the old depositors are t happy that they are reviving these dividends The liquidation of t banks will pretty well be out of '. the way by the end of this year, 1 here and all over the country. > While the boys are doing a little I fancy work in politics these days, * it is not nearly as exciting as we ) might have expected a few months ’ ago. The primaries will be over ( next week and the conventions in June will provide the nominees. Then a several months rest and the fall will bring the big battle. As predicited some time ago, the hot shots were fired early and the campaign has been quieting down since it was discovered that the ■ people are rather determined to leave well enough alone. Senator Alban W. Barkley of Kentucky will be temporary chair- j j man and keynoter at the DemoI cratic national convention to be i held in I’hiladelphia. beginning i June 23rd and Senator Joseph I Robinson of Arkansas will be II I permanent chairman. Both men ‘ are experienced and have perform|ed the same duties before and both ' ■ will take care of themselves in ex-1 j cellent manner. Senator Barkley 1 jis one of the greatest orators in 1 the United States, is close to the I Roosevelt administration and will i thrill the delegates and millions who listen in on the radio. o— — STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVINE Fur persons who believe that hu- ‘ man <1 stniy is guided by the planet, ■ the daily horoscope is outlined by j a nottd astrologer.
