There is as much interest in the election of a queen for the centennial as in most primaries and as time slips along, this interest will grow. The Republicans now propose a New Deal to get rid of the New Deal, but so far haven't given any very good reason why such an experiment should be tried.

What can be done to take care of traffic and the cars that will be here Centennial week? Every effort is being made to accommodate the visitors and it will be done, but any suggestions will be appreciated. The offer of something new politically by the Republicans may be on the level but we are inclined to think its a case of a lot of fellows who have been out for four years wanting up to the public trough again. The traffic problem and the question of finding parking room "continues one that is difficult to solve. Any one who doubts it can Certainly discover what a job it is by looking around here ou a Satur■day evening. Home economic and 411 clubs 'will cooperate with the commit 'tees in making the Centennial here \ Ti real success from every stand point. They will have a promin ent and important part in the events of the week. Watch for the official program. The Democrats refer to the Hoo \ ver speech in the recent conven I tion as a “hymn of hate’’ while the I Republicans say it was magnificent and nonpartisan.

Wouldn't it be a good thing for i the country if they did? Defiance. Ohio, had a million dollar fire Saturday when flames rac- ' cd through the buildings of the . Defiance Pressed Steel Company's plant. Frequently we think our buildings are safe from this damage but when a tire gets a good start in a big building, the loss is heavy and the results serious. As the weather warms you will be planning your summer vacation and there are thousands of delightful places to go. To those who have not visited all the wonderful parks aud lakes in Indiana, comes the news from the state conservation department that they can eujoy themselves to the limit and find just the kind of accommodations they may desire. A large delegation from Adams county is attending the Democratic state convention in Indianapolis where a ticket is to be selected tomorrow. The district meetings will be held tonight and there will be a number of interesting angles. Just who will form the big fourdelegation at large to the national convention—will be settled at the session. It is agreed that they will include Senators VanNuys and Minton and Governor McNutt. President Roosevelt was a guest of Indiana yesterday and Mrs. Roosevelt who accompanied him is staying over for a few days with the Hoosiers. The President assisted in the celebration at Vincennes yesterday, speaking to a great throng. Mrs. Roosevelt will be in Indianapolis today and tomorrow and will speak at Purdue Wednesday morning. Os course this state extends to their distinguished visitors the hand of sincerest welcome. We are all proud to have them here, hope they like us and will return often. The Transcontinental Airline ‘ highway, extending from New York City through Pittsburgh, Mansfield. Delphos and Van Wert to this city and then on to Huntington to connect with road 24 is now reported, adding to this city as a center of main highways, in the years to come these important roads will mean as much to the city as the railroads have in the past and we can afford to feel jubilant over the efforts now being made by President Gleiidenuing and others of the Chamber of Commerce along' that line. Good luck aud more of it as you strive for a better community and a more important one each year. 0 STAR SIGNALS —BY— OCTAVINE — For persons who believe tfiat human destniy is guided by the planet, the daily boroscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

In many small communities the state council, through its inspecting architect, is able to save taxpayers money on the planning and 1 cost of buildings. • 1 Since th 1935 legislature, the ad- . ministrative department of the i state has had consolidated control . over funds appropriated for buildings in state institutions. By calling upon the administrative building council and wisely planning ahead, the administrative depart ' merit can save many thousands of dollars of taxpayers money going for slate institutional buildings. The arrangement is at once an example of economy practiced by the administration of Governor Paul V. McNutt and the use of good business sense and foresight in consolidating the work of de-1 partments and bureaus and of planning head for the future.
