The earth tremors are perhaps to remind us that after ail we don't 5 have much to do with keeping the | old ball whirling at just the right speed. Why go to California? We have had winter weather almost equal to theirs and now we are being I shaken around by earth tremors. 1 All we need are the palms and j orange trees and we will be ready to entertain all comers. Several state officials besides Governor Townsend will accompany him here the 18th and arrangements to make their visit pleasant to them as well as to us are now being made. The list of visitor will be annsouuced ooon. Farm prices are the highest since 1930 and January exceeded last year by 20%. That's a sign of better times for when the farmers are making money, the country will prosper. Indications for good' prices this year are reported to f be excellent. A seven-acre lake is to be constructed near the south entrance of the state park east of Bluffton which should add to the beauty of that forest area and prove of value in supplying the water for an overhead irrigation system to be used in developing seedless trees. It begins to look as though there are a lot of men working in the automobile industry who won't be satisfied until they have had a real strike with all the bloody conflicts that make such affairs exciting. Certainly they are not listening to reason or following those who do. In a tax sale held a few days ago, a iot in Willshire sold for $1.20. Looks like it ought to be worth more than for garden purposes for certainly one wouldn’t have to raise a very large crop of potatoes, beans or spinach to show a nice return on that original investment. The committee from the legisla- ' ture which has investigated the attack upon Wayne Coy has turned the evidence collected over to the Marion county grand jury and the burden of clearing this affair 1 and all its side issues is upon them. It should be a fearless and honest investigation and should not cease until every angle has been carefully straightened. We want Governor Townsend to see Decatur and Adams county and ) 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 present ad dress and new address.
I to know us better for we are sure Ihe will like the attitude here of following the Golden Rule and ' making this the best spot in the t world to live and be happy. We want him to know our fanners, 1 our business men, our institutions I and our industries and to know our . earnestness in keeping them all at tithe top. > President Roosevelt likes a fight, 1. thinks It's good for the country to * make the people study and discuss I the constitution and our system i of government, so he wins, what- * ever the results of the present battle over the Suprme Court and it's still a good guess that he will win. He is fighting for a cause and not for himself or any group except the people of the United States whom he loves. | Janies A. Farley is for the Su- ) preme Court changes and is putt--1 ing up an argument that should be convincing to those Democrats who have been joining the enemies of i the administration to prevent adoption of the president's suggestions. He predicts ultimate success and if you remember he is the same fellow whot old us last 1 November that Roosevelt would I carry every state in the Union ex- j cepting Maine and Vermont. The Junior Chamber of Com-1 inerce will take part in the ban-I quet to be given for Governor | 1 Townsend and his staff ot the night! of the 18th. They will occupy a special table and we are sure our | visitors will realise that we are not only taking care of affairs now 1 ; but preparing to take care of them in the future, for this live organ- 1 ization is active and helpful and j it's members will soon be ready to step in the places of their big | brothers. We make much ado about the proposed changes in government, i about proposed legislation, about! strikes and mud storms and many ) thffigs and then the earth quivers and we wonder how important as-, 1 ter all are these things which we' are so prone to think are the big- j ' gest things. Perhaps the most of us spend entirely too much time i ! in thinking about the present and [ too little of the millions of years in eternity. The 1937 session of the General Assembly of Indiana is history and: the record achieved is worth while. I Among the important legislation I enacted are these: Tax limitations | set at $1.25 and $2 for cities and towns; employes relieved of the tax on jobs and employers reports I simplified; retailer’s income tax! exemption increased to $3,000; ' changes in the liquor laws; new labor division of the state govern- \ meat created; safety laws that are expected to decrease number of J automobile accidents and law pro-! viding that new drivers must take examinations after January Ist next. o • . —— . -0 Answers To Test Questions I Below are the answers to the | Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ • 1.

PROBE AWAITS BAKER RETURN Joel Baker Expected To Return From Florida This Week Indianapolis, Mar. 10.—jGJ.RX -Return of Joel Baker, ousted Marion county welfare director, was awaited today pending resumption of a legislative committee investigation of alleged "terrorist” lobbying in the recent assembly session. Baker was reported returning from Florida later this week. The committee has issued a subpoena for him in its investigation j of an assault on Wayne Coy, state welfare director, and "disappearance” of a welfare department merit bill which had been introduced in the legislature. Coy was recovering from a beating administered by Pete Cancilia, associate of Baker, in a statehouse corridor March 1 after an argument over the bill. Baker reportedly obtained the bill from Rep. Martin Downey, D., Hammond, chairman ot the house judiciary A committee, and refused to return it. In reprisal for the attack, the legislature whipped through another measure which contained provisions of the ‘.'lost” bill and also ousted Baker from his county welfare job. —-«c * TWENTY YEARS - * AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File • ♦ ♦ March 10, 1917. —American armed merchantmen are officially authorized to "fire on German submarines at sight.” Evangelist E.
