Friday will be a big trading day. Be sure to get the house paintedj and the yard improved before the; Centennial opens. We want to look our best and of course that mcass to dress for the occasion. “Political news review show G. O. P. harmony," warbles a partisan j paper. We suppose they refer to the friendly feelings being express-: ed by Don Irwin and Ralph Gates.! The socialist party believes in ! getting in early. They have just; closed their national convention at j Cleveland, nominating Norman • Thomas for president. This will be his third race. Indiana business showed an in-; crease of nineteen per cent in April; as compared to the same month a | year ago, which we insist is making a very good showing, regardless of what tile "outs" say. Courteous police officials, friendly citizens who greet with [ a smile, good looking properties l well kept, activities in business and social life. These things make a good community and Decatur has them, we are happy to say. One of the large electric refrigerator companies plans to build electrically heated and ventilated ' houses that will be quite the latest thing, revolutionizing the dwellings in America and making every one want one. And of course what the people in this nation want, they eventually get. Republican papers have been quoting the New York Times the past year or two and referring to it as a Democratic paper so emphat- » icaljy that most folks have come - to the conclusion that it may not be as Jeffersonian as is claimed for X it usually in the paragraph which ’ introduces the quotation. While there arc a few candidates and a few hangers-on, supported by the G. O. P. press, who would . like to stir up hatred in the campaign. the average person smiles and goes along, with tire knowledge that conditions are improving and that happy days are really here again and will go along for a decade or two. Thirty young men and women * were graduated this week from ■ the Berne high school, receiving ■ their diplomas, congratulations from their friends and a splendid address by Dr. Walter Wilson of Kansas City. The Berne school stands high in every way and the boys and girls may well feel proud of having completed the work assigned by their faculty. Decatur needs more public parking space to take care of the hundreds that visit here each day. Not to lake care of these -welcome

| guests is like inviting Uiem t* i' your home and not offering a ehair. Progress has been made the past year and it helps, but is not suf licient Plans are now being discussed to further increase th* ; space where cars can be properly cared for while folks are shopping . here and will we hope soon de- . velop. The Black Legion should be so ; thoroughly wiped out that neither they or any imitators will ever again attempt to perform their cowardly acts. When organizations meet in dark places, concealed by capes and hoods, decide some oue needs punishment, then grabs the victim and tortures him. sometimes to death, it is time all decent people make them just what they are —■plain bandits and murderers aud punish them accordingly. Over in Ohio, with a sou of former President Taft running against Senator Borah for delegate votes, President Roosevelt, without opposition. received a hundred thous'and more votes than did both the 1 Republicans. In West Virginia, the results were similar, Mr. Roosevelt retelling three times as many votes as Sentaor Borah. And so |it goes all over this country. The people have a leader and know it and they are not to be side tracked by the politicians. 0 I STAR SIGNALS -BYOCTAVINE For persons who believe that human dealniy is guided by the planet, the daily b-rosoope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

, motor bureau director In May, 1935. Under the direction and inspection of this bureau are more than 500 bus lines using the roads of ludtana aud more than 1.300 truck lines Mr. Dawson is married and the father of four chil- * dren,. It is to the credit of the public service commission reorganized by Governor Paul V. McNutt that laws have lieen written and administered which have brought order out of chaos in the motor transportaI tion Industry. The bus and truck businesses formerly were carried on along cutthroat lines without regard to uniformity of rates or the disasterous effects of wasteful competition. As a result, it was not nntil firm regulation was established by the present adminis- 1 tratfon, that those who invested their money in motor transportation had hope of facing ought except bankruptcy in the end. Now, | truck and bus operators with good) i business judgement are permitted to operate profltably and with full responsibility to the public. o Briefly Told One conquers a bad habit more ■ easily today than tomorrow.
