Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dallies it's only two months to Centennial week and there is much to be done. We can't lose a minute if we make it as good as we must to do credit to the occasion. It is no surprise that Congress man Zioncheck is being held on a lunacy charge. The surprise is that his insanity wasn't discovered before. The news flashes of his escapades have been numerous, satisfying the people in general that he is ■’batty." Postmasters and American Legion officers are getting ready for the distribution of the first bonus bonds, expected in Indiana about June 16. The bonds will be sent by registered mail from Chicago to the veterans and must be delivered to the owner in person. The Republican state convention on today is the liveliest the party has enjoyed for several years, due I to the fact they have' kidded them- 1 selves into believing the voters 1 will listen to their balderdash i about the McNutt administration. | They don't know why, but are just I hoping. Vacation time is near and in! planning it, don't overlook the fact I that Indiana has hundreds of lakes and resorts which provide every pleasure you seek. The north part of the state has its wonderful lakes and the south its parks and hills. Pick out a Hoosier spot for this summer. Well, Dates and Irwin each has the satisfaction of knowing he kept the other fellow out. That they may both feel alright about it, they get to go to the Cleveland convention with Mr. Watson and Mr. Ball. That ought to be such a treat that they will be good all the way through the campaign. — The cornerstone of the Methodist Episcopal church was opened yesterday and the list of deposits there were of interest to many, particularly those who can remember that important day, fifty-five years ago, when with due ceremony, the stone for that spacious new building was set in place. The congregation was to move from the old frame building on North First street to one of the finest buildings in the district and it was a jubilee and happy occasion. CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R, R. 2. instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give presejH address and new address.
j It wasn't a poor day's work for Louie Meyer when he won the annual 500-mile race on Memorial Day. He received 331.235 in cash, besides a number of valuable trophies. The main prize was 320,000, thu extras from manufacturers and lap prizes running the amount over 331,000- Ted Horn, second in the race, came away with $13,775. Now if the boys don't start out and kill themselves, they'll be able to enjoy the fruits of wealth for several mouths. Congratulations are extended to Reverend Thomas Durkin on the completion of his studies aud his coming ordination to the Catholic priesthood. It is edifying to see these men ordained and willing to give their life to the service of the Master. The ministry is a noble calling. Priest and minister do much, not only for the salvation of souls and teaching the Word of Jesus Christ, but in civic and j community affairs and their leader- j ship is one which every good community is dependent upon. President Roosevelt told the farm wives who gathered in Wash- j ington that he would seek better j substitutes when new things failed. In other words he does not propose to sit around and let the country go to the bow-wows and the people suffer, without making every possible effort to prevent it. After all we are unanimous that j this should be done, so it becomes ■ just a question of how best to do it. Os course it costs money and when taxes are levied to meet that cost, the howl comes. That's what is the matter now. The rich who are prospering more than any other class because of the improved < conditions, squall because if the tax could be levied direct on the mid- ■ die class it might save the million-,, aiie a few pennies. Really it's ridiculous and the voters will so j declare next November. 0 T ♦ STAR SIGNALS -BYOCTAVINE For persons who believe that hu- , man destniy is guided by the planet. | the daily b-rosc-ope is outlined by a noted astrologer, tn addition to inI f i-mation of general interest, it outj lines information of special interest to persons born on the designated I dates.

FARM PROGRAMS TO CONVENTIONS Farm Organizations Plan Planks For National Conventions Editor’s Note: Platforms at the Republican and Democratic national conventions will be moulded along the lines of recommendations mad " by various groups affected. Herewith Is the first of several dispatcher revealing what these recommendations wit! be. Today—Agriculture. (Copyright 1936 by United Press) Washington, June 3 —(UP) — A modernized equalization fee plan and a farm mortgage refinancing proposal were prepared today for recommendation to the Democratic and Republican national conventions this month. Leading farm organizations, the United Press learned, will offer those proposals for inclusion in Die 1936 platform agriculture planks atCleveland and Philadelphia. Upon their reception may h-lnge a sizeable bloc of farm votes. The “farm problem,” a perennial of undiminished importance this campaign year, will receive serious consideration by both major parties, the New Deal, however, is expected to stand by the soil conservation act, voted by congress this year to replace the invalidated AAA. The Republican attitude .however has not yet taken definite form. Sen. Arthur Vandenberg. R„ Mich., a possible Presidential nominee, said in a Radio address that he favored the principles of the old Mc-Nary-Haugen lili.l which has as its basis the eqqualization fee plan. I Vandenberg termed the soil conservation act “The Same Old AAA, dressed up in false whiskers." under this act farmers are paid to plant i lands in soil-building crops, effectJ ing a modified crop-production coni trol. Republicans generally have cfp- | posed the new deal’s curtainment I programs, although Frank Lowden, I former Illinois governor, has considI erable mid-west support for a soil conservation proposal tinder the states rather than the federal government. Ex-isting legislation provides for turning administration of the ai t over to states in 1936. President Coolidge twice vetoed I the Me nary-Haugen bill although it i was sponsored by Fellow republij cans. The house defeated the FrizI ier-Lemke farm mortgage refinancing bill last month. The national farmers union has not given up its fight for farm mortgage refinancing legislation. "The reactionary leadership of I both parties ganged up on us to defeat the Frazier-Lemke bill,” Edward E. Kennedy, national secretary said as he started a swing a--1 round the country to explain the situation to farmers"That bill was our baby. We spent five years trying to bring it up for a vote and then it was defeated be- [ cause both parties user! the power of office- influence aud persuasiton against us. It doesn’t make much difference what the party platforms say. the candidates are the real Issue.” The national grange, one of the nation's largest farm organizations I suports the export debenture as one ■ of the solutions of the problem of , agricultural surplusses but insists that others, such as secretary of agricultur Henry A. Wallace's . “ever-normal granary through farm
