The weather continues to be about as decent as we have a right to expect here in the middle west. Any way it's certainly something when we compare it to a year ago. Retail sales in Decatur have increased more than a million dollars per year since 1935. That's something and just the start of an era of prosperity that ought to take us places. The strikes gain but we still have faith. We don't believe either the working men or the bosses will want to throw away this wonderful year with its opportunities to really show profits. Adams county is the only one in the state where the relief budget for 1937 under the new security act shows a deerease from the oid total, and is receiving much praise from the taxing organizations. Those who use the stock market as a guide to the conditions of uie country should feel that those who thus deal are not alarmed about the strikes, as the prices of stocks ( continue to soar. Even automobile j stocks are strong, so is steel and , so are utilities. < Some one lucky enough to pick off the murderer of the little Matt son boy can secure for himself SIO,OOO in government cash, some extras from Tacoma and the state of Washington and the everlasting 1 thanks of the nation, a chance for I a good detective to fix himself up | for life. Harry Moore, twice governor of New Jersey, announces his desire to resign as a member of the United States senate to again become 1 ( chief executive of his state. He likes that job and evidently feels he can render greater service there ' than he can in the law making job. Unusual to say the least. " ~~~~"~ . i it is most unusual that a hundred people should be snow bound in southern California. If that should happen in the west, middle west, east or north, it would be just news, but coming from the land of sunshine it is more outstanding and again proves that any thing can happen in this world of ours and does. The usual number of silly and impractical bills may be expected in the 1937 session of the legislature. Facts are they have already started into the hopper. During the past two sessions there were so many important matters that most of these kind of proposed acts were lost iu committee, but this year it may be more difficult to dispose of them. it is rumored that Paul V. McNutt, who has this week retired as governor after an administration that has attracted attention front New York to California, will soon

assume the honorable position of. president of Indiana University, a position for which he is splendidly' qualified. Whatever he does his | thousands of friends iu Indiana i&UkM •• make good. The flu, pneumonia and severe colds ure prevalent all over the state with the worst epidemics in Indianapolis, Gary and other parts of the Calumet district. There i have been many deaths and it is I important that every one who has a cold get after it with the right kind of treatment. About the . safest thing is to see your doctor and follow his instructions which is usually that you go to bed forj a day or two and really light the, old "bug.” Governor Townsend is serious about his desire to give the state. of Indiana a plain and wholesome administration. That has always been his life's desire and he can't i be any thing but just an honest, careful, wise Hoosier. He will guard well the ship of state and he will render to you excellent service. His inauguration address was a dear cut and easily understood statement of his hopes and , he desires the aid and the advice |: and the actual assistance of all ' who are interested in keeping the state at the head of the column of forty-eight which go to make the i greatest Union in the world. Trust ', Cliff Townsend, he will take you I through. * : The kidnaping and murder of, Charles Mattson, ten year-old son 't of a respected physician, Dr. Matt 1 son of Tacoma. Washington, must 1 have been the work of an insane man or the worst criminal who was < ever running loose in this country. 1 After holding the lad ten days, the fiend murdered him by hitting him J on the head so hard that three ; teeth were knocked out. Then he < tore his clothing off and threw him into a hole in a wild part of the country fifty miles north of Tacoma, where he was accidently found by a young man who was hunting rab-1 bits. Three times the father tried , to contact the kidnaper and pay him the demand of $28,000 but the 1 kidnaper was evidently afraid to J deliver his prisoner. Police will continue the hunt until this man is ; found and convicted and there 1 should certainly be no mercy. Os ' all the crimes in the annals of this ( country, and there have been many : terrible ones, we remember none 1 that seem so cruel, so uncalled for and so utterly defiant. , ♦ — —■< Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ ■ • 1.

POPE CONDITION (QONTINU BSD FROM WAOB ONB) 1 laipse. I The pontiff indicated that he will '"> tt>r w tilth lie "has been forced to abandon since the start of hie grave illness 40 days ago. He was greatly cheered by the congratulatory greet- ( Ings of the Cardinals, his nephew, and Intimates of the household. The ealon was brightened with vases of flowers. While the Pope was out of his bedroom, it was given a thorough airing and cleaning. ■ - o ARREST NEGRO (CONTINUED FROM PAOH ONE) Queens county announced Hie arrest. Before hte arrest, Green was ! taken to the Case apartment by deJtectives. They ordered him to take i oft his shirt and said Case’s initials were found inside the collar. Green was locked in the Newtorn police station. He had not confess- j ed. Detectives made no mention of the ball-headed hammer also found ' in the incinerator or of the whisp lof hair found clenched in Mrs. j Case's hands. The hammer was of a type used by machnlsts. o —• KIDNAPED LAD (CONTINUED FROM fAQB ONE) film of sandy loam found 0“ parte of the mutilated body. This, with other evidence, indicated that possibly Charles was first buried in a shallow grave, later exhumed, and dumped in the snow just off a lonely country road near Everett. Wash. ■ This theory was supported by an indication that the body started to decompose, that this process was halted, and had started again just before the corpse was discovered. The wound in Charles back was made with a keen blade and pierced the flesh about four Inches. Charles had been dead from four to six days when found, it was learned. Spurred by SII,OOO in rewards and growing public indignation, posses, official and unofficial, searched the Washington wilds for clues. ■lt was learned that police at Puyallup, a small town nine miles east of Tacoma, had a child's jacket they believed was stained with the blood of Charles, and an abandoned automobile. The jacket and the abandoned car were being examined closely for finger prints- The jacket was said to be of the same color and pattern as that Charles wore when he was stolen from his parents’ Tacoma home by a bearded man on Dec. 27. Federal agents were incensed at Puyallup police because they permitted the news of the find to get out. An international blockade set up along the Canadian border soon after the body was found yielded two men. They were arrested last night: by Canadian mounted police and taken to Grand Forks pending the arrival of G-men. Heavily armed, they tried to slip across the border at Danville, Wash., last night. o * By UNITED PRESS Senate In recess.
