Mr. Grimm of Auburn, is running for the Republican nomination for congress in the fourth district and bases his platform on the Dr. Townsend plan, which will give those interested a chance to see how popular that idea is after being exposed by the congressional investigation as a money gathering scheme. in the Pennsylvania primary held Tuesday Col. Henry Breckenridge of New York was entered against Franklin 1). Roosevelt for the presidency and ran a twenty-to-one loser. That’s about the ratio in which the president is held and it doesn’t take much of a politician to predict the results next November.

Vote next Tuesday, You ought t to be deeply interested in selecting those candidates you feel will [ serve you when elected in Novem- . her. The right of suffrage is a t precious one for it is by that means and that only that you can retain ! democracy. Important questions ' will be decided by the electorate ■ this year and you should take your ) part as a good citizen. [ "Elect me and I will reduce taxes," is one of the oldest jokes on record and evidently will be, used this campaign as it always | has been. The only unexplainable I thing is that regardjess of whom you elect, taxes will go on and on. 1 as long as we demand improvements and the expenditare of money for relief, pensions and other purposes and how will we get along without these expenses? Os course every good citizen of Indiana will welcome an investigation of the WPA' but most of them feel that Wayne Coy and the others in charge of that branch of government here, are. and have been fair and non partisan. In such a large organization there can of course be single instances where unfairness can be shown hut Mr. Coy himself would be the first to denounce any such proceedings. Let the investigation be ■ made. The committee which took over i the job of raising $7,000 to pay ‘ expenses of Centennial week, de- ' serve much credit. If you don't think that's a full sized job, its I because you have never had ex-! i perience. This campaign was put lon in a methodical way and the I results show that those on the job ! attended to it m the proper way Ito get results. The money is on the line and the other committees arc making every effort to use it so as to get the best results. Absent voter ballots can be used this year but only by those who will be out of the city on election day. In the previous law of this' kind the ballots could be used by the sick aud infirm, but this caused the statute to come in to disrepute | after a few years. In the larger cities organizations were made and these ballots taken in wholesalelots. thus influencing the results so much that the act had to be repealed. The present law is for the convenience of those who must be absent and wish to cast their ba’iots. o * STAR SIGNALS -BYOCTAVINE ■’ For persons who believe that human ili-.-tniy is guided by the planet, the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

They are under the direction of Myron L. Rees, of Rochester, a graduate engineer and landscape architect, who is director of state parks, lands and waters in the State Department of Conservation. In 1935. Indiana's state parks attracted 770.000 paid admissions which is 135.000 more than ever before. The admission fee is 10 cents for adults and nothing for children. This goes a long way toward making Indiana's park system partly self-sustaining. Last fall, a count was taken and it was found that about 46"? of the visitors to the state parks in a two week's period were families from neighboring state of Illinois. Ohio. Michigan, and Kentucky. Dunes ■ State park and Turkey Run are holiday havens for visitors from Illinois. Pokagon on latke James draws visitors from Ohio and Michigan. Cliffy Falls and McCormick's Creek parks bring them in from Kentucky. The Nancy Hanks Memorial and the Pioneer Village at Stone Mlil State park brings visitors from all over the country. In the past thtree years that Mr. Rees has been director of parks, vast improvements have been made. Most of these have been the fruit of labors performed by youths who have been enlisted in the Federal conservation camps. New shelter houses have been erected, roads built, picnic and POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS! (Advertising) « _ k 4 COUNTY TICKET » -4 Joint Representative Adams-Wells Counties Frank G.

WITHDRAWAL OF AID THREATENED Relief Workers Must Accept Private Employment When Offered Washington, April 30. — (U P) — Withdrawal of federal aid from ablebodied men who refuse private employment as farm hands in agricultural states this summer was I planned today by Works Progress Administrator Harry L. Hopkins. The situation became acute in the midwest last year. Landowners complained many laborers declined work to remain on relief rolls. Hopkins investigated. In areas where farm owners were not attempting to "chisel" down wages, he ordreed state relief directors to withdraw emergency grants to force the workers to accept employment. The problem is present again. North Dakota farm operators as- ■ serted they could not compete I with wages, hours, and type of labor offered on works progress and rural resettlement projects. The state's director of WPA employment announced federal aid would be withtdrawn from any work-relief worker refusing a bona fide farm job. He reportedly was acting with Hopkins’ consent. Hopkins adopted a broad program to make certain a plentiful

supply of farm labor this summer. Since mid March, he has been paring WPA work rolls ut a rate to reduce project employment from about 3,900.000 to 2.300,000 persons by July 1Hopkins estimated 300,000 of t 700.000 discharged would be cared for either through farm labor or from food grown on their own plots of land. If a family leaves relief rolls with no funds, welfare agencies probably will advance money until the worker's first pay day. The other 400.900, Hopkins believed. could find employment on heavier work relief projects startling this spring after the winter de-; lay. Unless private industry permanently employs a major portion of the number, however, they probably will be seeking government Jobs again next fall. Reports to WPA revealed state relief administrators, separated I from government control since the

That I is it standard relief policy. Hopkins also must decide soon whether about 250,090 veterans on relief who receive government bonus bonds June 15. may continue on work relief projects. He said he would take "no arblI trary action, deciding eases on their merits.” He Intimated that, if a needy ex-soldier used his money; to pay back debts and had nothing ; left over, he would be allowed to I remain on the federal payroll. Individual states hold the right 1 to decide disposition of veterans on direct relief rolls. Their total has not been tabulated here.
