Stores are crowded and the streets and walks almost impassable, while parking space—well —there just isn’t any. A speaker in the recent state j Rotary convention predicted that. within a year this nation will pass the peak of 1929 in business. If that isn't taking the country out of the dumps in a three year period, what will those opposed to Mr. Roosevelt call it? Delinquent taxes this year are the lowest iu a long time, surest proof that we are getting back to; the point where we can make both I ends meet. Looks like the worst ■ is over for those who have been able to take the punishment of the depression. General plans for the Centennial In Decatur are going forward and its up to each individual to do his part. You can have your own entertainment for your own guests and divide your time among the various features that will be on the I weeks program. - I Even out in rock ribbed Republican Oregon, Roosevelt gave Borah such a chase for votes that it is now freely predicted that the President will again have the electoral vote from that state. Evidently they 'don't think so much of the advice of their neighbor, Mr. Hoover. Those who consider the Homestead grounds a speedway will tiud themselves iu court. Sheriff Brown has given due warning and those who so engage will have to pay the bill. The new addition is a place where people reside and they and their families are entitled to the same consideration as those in other parts of the city. The list of coming events in Decatur, including picnics, the Silver jubilee for Father Seimetz, gram dealer's convention, district American Legion convention, tri-state meeting of the Red Men and the

I big Centennial indicates that this i is a live city where people like to come because they enjoy themselves, are treated well and can trade in good stores. The cars are tuning up for the big speedway classic at ludiauap olis and if you get a thrill out of seeing a car going a hundred miles an hour crash into a wall, you can get it most any afternoon by dropping into the grandstand. Each year a number are injured prior to and during the races and the fact that its all on the level and that these men are really dodging death, creates the world wide interest. France wants to settle her debt with the United States but those who are wise iu diplomacy are looking over the proposal of Leo Blum, probable next premier with a feeling akin to the fellow who is trying to pick out the right walnut shell that covers the hidden ball on the circus grounds. We have reason to doubt the sincerity of such an offer and fear it comes because they want other favors that j may be just as annoying or more I so. With Omer S. Jackson again leading the forces, the Democratic ' state committee is ready for the i battle. A veteran at the game. ■ wise and courageous, far seeing and fair to every oue, Mr. Jackson enters upon the 1936 campaign, earnest in his assurance that the party will win a great victory. He is deserving of and will have the united support of every man and woman who believes iu the party! of Jefferson and wants to continue j its efforts to restore prosperity to ] this nation. A shift iu population from the i industrial cities of Indiana to farm lands during the five years preceding January 1. 1935, is disclosed by the Census Bureau reflecting the effect of the depression years on urban dwellers. The census report on farm population disclosed there were 74,5X8 persons back on farm lands at the start of 1935 who lived in non farm residences i five years previous. The shifti | amounted to 8.7 per cent of the | total farm population of 852,994 in i the state. The trend was con-: spicuous iu the farming country adjacent to such industrial centers as Indianapolis, South Bend. Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, Gary and Evansville. In some counties the farm population jumped as much as 1.000 persons during the fiveyear period. The bureau also found that during 1934 there were 61,734 farm operators in the state who engaged iu part time work off their farms to supplement their incomes. Non farm work by these farm operators, the bureau reported. averaged 115 days in the year. —Huntington Herald-Press. o —, Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ 4 1.

A- No; a banana is not a finger food. The skin should be stripped off, the banana placed on the dessert plate and cut, one bite at a time, with the side of the forkBACCALAUREATE fCONTINUED FRtMM P if' K £ N !i2 which the spiritual life was demonstrated once and for ail. Jesus drew upon the inexhaustible resources of God. He was the "only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and reality. "This fact has also an implication as to our destiny. The beast is driven by its instincts, its hereditary nature, and by its environment. The'glory of man is that he is not only driven, but that he is drawn by that which he has as bis ideal, by that which is above and beyond him. Ido not i suppose that stars mean anything to the brutes, but they do mean something to us. While the sheep and goajs nourish a blind sort of life in the brain, men lift up their hands of prayer and the voices of men in worship rise like a fountain before God’s throne night and day. “When does life begin? Life begins when we become conscious of the stars; when we begin to realize the reach and range of

' these lives of ours and begin to respond to the upward puli of Gcd. .May your ike begin now. in your youth when with the fine companionship of Christ you walk along the high places of life to fulfill the high purposes of your existences.” Class Processional The services were opened by the class processional with Mrs. Car- ! rie T. Haubold at the organ, which was followed by invocation by Rev. I’rugh. Following singing by the entire church, the Rev. George O. Walton. pastor of the Filat Presbyterian church read the scripture, with a choral response by the high school chorus of twenty odd voices, acting as choir. The Rev. H. R. Carson led in prayer. The chorus also sang a nuuaber "Break Forth Into Joy’’ under the direction ot Miss Helen Haubold. The Rev. George 8. Lozier, pastor . of the Evangelical church, closed : with the benediction. Amid the soft oigau strains of "D.H.S.”, high school alma tuaicr ; song, the class receded from the church.
