Your property schedules must be in the hands of the county assess- j or, Ernest Worthman by the lutli and this important duty should not be put off another day. Send in the names of former Decatur residents and their pres-. ent addresses, so they can be in-1 vited to the old home week in connection with the Centennial celebration. With taxes out of the way. we can all feel easier for a few months. Its a dose we must take twice a year but without it we wouldn't! have many conveniences. Perhaps j its worth it. Get ready to vote tomorrow and . do it early., its a line privilege to! cast your ballot for those candi-| dates and those principles in which you believe and you ought to use it if at all possible. The trees have blossomed out the past few days and spring has really arrived. Outlook for a prouporous and happy year for every one adds to the good cheer and smiles take the place of the old frown. The war over in Ethiopia appears to be about over but the natives there will not feel kindly towards Italy for several generations. It doesn't seem to us to be a very desirable spot to locate in just at present. Business continues to improve regardless of the old ‘'bugaboo'' that such a thing is impossible in a campaign year. After ail, who ever wins will be a good American citizen and will want the nation tv go on as the greatest in the world. Don’t be afraid. Karpis, public enemy number one, must face trial at St. Paul, where he will no doubt be found guilty and receive either the death sentence or life imprisonment in Alcatraz prison and of these two forms ot punishments he probably prefers the former. Election returns will be received at this office. Arrangements to receive the reports from the various precincts have been made and we will be glad to give such information as may be desired over the telephone. The number is LOW and we will be happy to serve you. Try advertising in the Daily Democrat. Its the surest way to increase your business and costs less than any other kind of advertising. Those who use it will tell you the results are more than worth while and this is the best time of the year to go after new business. Crime doesn't pay. During the past week, almost daily some desparate character who perhaps thought he could violate the laws
and avoid capture and punishment i has been taken and will pay for his career. Surely they realize now that the straight and narrow path would have been smoother.. ____________ t Bold Venture copped the Kentucky derby, took the 338,725 stake ( . and received the cheers and plaud- _ its ot 65,000 fans for this event is t always a colorful affair which attracts iieople from all over the > world. The winner was a 43 to 2 • bet and those who had the nerve 1 to play him are enjoying that thrill I i which every race follower antici--1 pates but gets only once in a life i . ! time. The primary draws to a close. It has been a quiet and orderly campaign and the election will be as always in this good old county, a fair and square expression of the voters. The winners in the primary tomorrow will go to the polls again next November, at which time we will decide who shall hold the various offices. Work for your candidates but be good sports and give the other fellow a square deal. After all, a friendly cooperative spirit is best for any community. It doesn't pay to think too viciously against the other fellow. Two women and a young girl met death near Fort Wayne Saturday evening, proving how quickly and easily we can be dashed to 1 death.. Tho driver of the automoi bile slowed down and stopped suddenly to pick up some hitch hikers. A car behind, traveling rapidly, runs into the rear of their car. which is overturned and before they could be rescued, all three burned to death. The usual num- ; her of week-end fatalities added to : this one, near home, should cause | every one to think seriously of the I hazzards of travel these days and I how accidents can be avoided, j The death list so far this year is | the highest ever known. o - ♦ « STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVINE For persons who believe that human destniy is guided by tile planet, the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

Is Problem of Unemployment With Us to Stay? sL -- ISEH' * mH WPA worker. Rhm Harold Icket Pr.»id«nl Roo.avelt
All .the furore aroused by the recent request of Harry Hopkins, WPA administrator, for $1,500,000,000 ,to finance, relief in 1937 has served to focus national attention on the problem of when and how the < current relief-drain on the public treasury will end. Some conception of the terrific burden entailed is-.suggested by statistics which •how that more than $2,000,009,000 is being spent annually to provide for the 35,000,000 on relief There are many who believe that unemployment is with us to stay, that the problem requires a program of more permanent and constructive nature than

President Rooaevelt suggested a conviction that the problem required more fundamental treatment in his recent speech at Baltimore when he touched on limitatioi of working hours and age limits for labor. Soma effort has been made to carry out a more beneficial and constructive program, notably when Secretary of Interior Ickes was at the head of the PWA. but paramount responsibility seems to be in the hands of industry itself which must absorb the unemployed before the situation is relieved to any great extent. .

Dr. Dill, a resident of Plainfield and long acquainted with problems of tile Boy’s Schorl. was appointed superintendent by Governor Paul V. McNutt in June. 1933. Sweeping ‘changes were made by Dr. Dill almost at once- Where formerly stress had been placed on disciplinary training almost akin to prison regulation, began laying emphasis the educational and vorational training which the school could offer so as to fit members of the school for useful places in society. Tile case of each of the 590 boys normally attending the school is made a special one and each is giving training to develop his hidden talents in trade, art or tearing. Building in which the boys ara housed ceased to he barracks and have become hemes with a man and his wife in attendance.
