Your might buy two or three lots in Home wood and build a home. It's a fine time to do this and in tire years to come, you will be glad you made the investment, j — Charles Luciano and eight others convicted of operating a vice ring in New York City have been found guilty and sentenced to 1.- ( 865 years in prison. And they called that guy "Lucky.'’ . Some talk of nominating Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth for vice ( president at the Cleveland con ven- . tion but its probable she will have ( too much political wisdom to even consider such a thing. ————— The recent rains were needed and the crops which appear backward because of the rather cool I spring will soon show the results. i With warmer weather now. the . s wheat, hay, corn, beets and other . crops will step right along. Os course that thousand dollar entrance fee the Democrats are 1 charging may keep some good men ' from starting but after all the fel- 1 low who thinks he can ride to vic- 1 tory in a political campaign without putting up the expenses, usually doesn’t get far. The benefit of fire proof equip- 1 ment in a building was demonstrated in the fire at the Adams theater, where a smoldering blaze in a ' tire proof casing failed to get through in many hours. The loss ' consequently was small and the ; fact a definite proof of the value of such protection. We realize how big an undertak- 1 ing it is to publish a Centennial edition of the Daily Democrat and how much extra work it will require. We can only succeed if you aid us, which we fee' sure you will do. We assure you we will appreciate your cooperation iu this effort to render a public service, i A "fifty-niile-an-hour" club, organized in the east, has 100,000 members and is growing rapidly. To be a member one must promise never to drive in excess of that speed, it being thought that this will do much towards solving the CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If yon 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 present ad- i dress and new address, i

traffic problem which hus caused so many deaths and injuries the past few years. The dice are loaded for the Cleveland convention It appears and Governor Landon of Kansas \ is to be nominated on the second I ballot, the first vote being just to give a little recognition to a few of the boys so It won't look like a , road roller process. The governor was peeved Sunday because he couldn't go Ashing. Chicago and Brooklyn were playing a hot game of hall, the score was a tie in the last halt of the ninth, when a man named Baker, pitching for the Dodgers got the bases full, no one out and then passed the next man, forcing the winning run across the plate. Spect he is about as popular with the home fans now as President Roosevelt is with the Morgan crowd. Isn't it funny that in national ’ conventions, we rarely ever hear in advance who is to be considered for vice president, except in cases of renomination and yet whoever that nominee is. may become the president. One would think it just as important to name a running mate equal to the occasion as the head of the ticket but we seem to lose track of that in the battle for the higher place. — Indiana veterans of the World War will receive checks and bonds j totaling more than fifty million dollars, a neat sum that ought to make general conditions consider- \ ably better and they are nos so, bad right now. Every business is showing improvement, labor is getting scarce, the farm outlook is good and now’ added to these comes the bonus, which certainly should take us well around any corner of the depression that may have been holding us up. Governor McNutt took the Republican platform plank apart in a talk over the radio Sunday and ' showed the people of Indiana why it won't hold. They propose to re-j peal the gross income tax law and substitute a net income tax, repeal the emergency clause of the $1.50 tax limitation law and eliminate two cents from the state property tax levy, which sounds good but : which would bankrupt the state and every county, close the schools and mean that local government could not function. The governor j favors lower taxes by reducing expenditures and there is much in his address that should interest every citizen who really wants to improve conditions. There is in other words, nothing sound about a policy that cannot be carried out, will not be and would cause chaos if it were. o Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two * — ♦ 1. 14.7 lbs. per sq. in. 2.
