Time will be up at midnight Monday and the penalty is added. 1 Decatur and Adams county will greet them next Thursday. It will be a worth while occasion for those who love their community and their state. Spring will be here a week from tomorrow and most of us are ready for it. While it has been milder than the average it's far from the good old summer days when we can 101 l around in shirt sleeves or , dress up in a bathing suit. . If the expert economist'cau be depended upon it will be wise to buy your needs as far ahead as • | < you can. They all declare that a continued rise of prices is assured until we‘reach a point where a I more stable condition can be de- < pended upon for a reasonable time. ‘ Most every one supposed that the late Huey Long was worth millions, that he had built up a . great private fortune from his ( political activities, but the final . report of his affairs shows that he < left an undivided estate of but < $116,000. Looks like we can't be- < lieve everything we hear. ■ ( What's the difference what the 1 German press says about America * or for that matter why should Germany take offense at some remark ' made by the mayor of New York or any other official? To quarrel 1 over these unimportant matters 1 may lead to hostile feelings that I will be inconvenient and uncomfortable in the future. Contracts for new residences in 1 Decatur, the work to begin at 1 once, lends encouragement to ' those who desire to see the city ' grow. Others are planning to build ‘ during the next few' months and ‘ during the year it is expected that ‘ from twenty-five to a hundred new ‘ homes will be added. That's real ' progress. > < Indiana will spend six million 1 dollars on new road construction * this year and the program includ- ! es the improvement of the six mil- ' es between here and the Monroe 1 intersection. We appreciate it and will be glad to tell them so next ' Thursday. Other improvements al-1 so will be made, we are informed, by that maintenance department., so that we should fare well in old i Adams county.

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 address and new address. 1

| The Indianapolis Star says there < are ten million men out ot work iu 1 this country but it they go out to find some one to do something, they will probably realize that if * that is true, they don't want to t work. We don't believe it and certainly conditions In this section are 1 much improved over a tew years J ago when the claim as to the num- ' ber ot unemployed wus practically | 1 the same as now. I We are getting ready to give Governor Townsend and his staff a sincere welcome when they vis it here next Thursday. It is not a , political meeting iu any sense but j ' rather a get acquainted event in 1 ! which farmers, merchants, manu-; facturers, school children and school heads and all others inter i ested will have the opportunity to greet the chief executives and oth j ers who are iu charge of Indiana's affairs today. M. Clifford Townsend, fair aud . honest and of the people, says he feels like he has lived four years, in the past two months. His exper-, ience has been more strenous than usual, with the floods, the strikes, j the legislature, the job hunters and the ever present pardon problem. He has discovered that being a , chief executive ot the great state ■ of Indiana is a real man's job, but he is big enough to handle it and will do so with credit to himself aud his constituents. Mr. Dykstra who has made a wonderful record as manager ot the city of Cinciunatti and is so good they are paying him $25,000 a year and figure they are saving money at that over the the old plan, has been offered the presi- < dency of the University of Wisconsin at $15,000 a year and a house and car. If he accepts he will do a 1 good job there as he has in Cin-1| cinnati for he is a man of unusual abilities and is in every way quali-l, tied as a university head. __ Rank bandits find their jobs more hazardous these days. A tip 1 that bank raids were to be made, by four ex-convicts was relayed down the line and local sheriffs, deputies, city police and state officers joined in planning a defense that would have been anything but pleasing to the robbers if they had. carried out their plans. Highways < were patrolled and special guards kept an eye on each banking insti-i tutiou in two or three counties in 1 this section. That's real protection, we would say. i i The investigations following the j attack upon Wayne Coy are regrettable but necessary. Os course ‘ such a bold attack upon an official, or a citizen could not be overlook-, ’ ed and will not be. The grand jury. t has already returned indictments j against Cancillo and Joey Baker' and the latter has surrendered. In I due time their cases will be heard ■ ; aud determined and in the meantime, affairs will quiet down to a point where the regular business can be taken care of. The Republican press is trying hard to make it a factional fight arid to bring some shadow of disgrace upon officials but with little in the way of facts to back up their intimations. What's a legislature without some excitement? 0 Modern Etiquette * j By ROBERTA LEE » -♦ Q. Is it possible for a person to I overcome sensitiveness? A. Yes. The best way is to mingle with people, and to be as impersonal as possible. Try to think more I of the other persons present than 1 ' ot one's self. Q. After being ill for some time, what is the best way a woman can revive old friendships? A. Either a bridge party or an afternoon tea would be a good way. | Q. Should lettuce or salads ever be cut with the knife? A. No; they should be broken with the fork only. *" TODAY'S COMMON ERROfT * Never say, “Let us stand firmly in defense of our position;” say, "stand firm in defense.” <

Well, Have You Read The Constitution? President Roosevelt in his “fireside chat” over the radio said he thought every citizen of the U. S. ought to re-read the Constitution of the United States to see what it actually says. Probably youn haven't looked at the text of the fundamental law of the land since school days. Our Washington Service Bureau has a 24-page Booklet ready for 'i yon. which not only gives the complete text of the Constitution and all Amendments but gives a history of how the document was made, who its makers were, who signed it. and the history of its adoption ; and the pro|H>sal and adoption of each of the Amendments. One of the most important delrates in the history ot the U. S. is that now going on in relation to the President’s proposal for a new Judiciary law. The Constitution of the U. S. is being discussed apd i analyzed as perhaps never before since its original adoption. Get your copy and see what the battle is all about. Send the ' coupon below: i CLIP COUPON HERE Dept.

In case of war would U. S. coastal cities be in danger of destructive air raids by foreign bombers operating from aircraft, carriers stationed off the seaboard? This spectre has been raised repeatedly. Such fears as might have been felt by the good citizens of New York, Boston and Philadelphia are I allayed, however, by the U.
