Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dallies. President Roosevelt may have to' break with the senate but he will never break with the people. That is why they love him. An hour or two in church tomorrow will clarify your mind and make you see that after all we get out ot life only what we put in. The Supreme Court of the United States seems to have contract-' ed the “sit-down” fever. They are | delaying any decision on a half dozen problems ot importance just now. R. Earl Peters was "tickled pink" to come home and said so. He has gone far and made a great fight. He found many sincere friends here and all were delighted to see and hear him. Tune in for the basketball gain es this afternoon and evening. It's the semi-finals and this section is , represented by Fort Wayne Central in the meet at Muncie. It should be a real contest for the Central boys are fast and have plenty of reserve. Next week end the finals. Much good will was established in the meetings held here on Governor's Day. from what we can hear. Every event was a success, the -farmer's at noon, the schools in the afternoon, the industries, the banquet in the evening. It was a big day and one from which we 1 are sure many good results will follow. Governor Townsend is just one of the folks. That's why the people 1 trust and believe him. They know he is honest, capable, fearless and! a real fellow. He visited various industries here, met hundreds of people, gave four or five talks and, made friends every place he went. It's a great thing to have- such a man as governor. We all feel we can brag about him with safety for he would sooner die than breake faith with the Hoosiers. They may win the W abas h dredge case some day but those who are favoring it will certainly know they have had a battle. They are being contested at every point because most of those assessed cannot figure any benefits and because those down the river believe it will but add to their flood problems. If the Wabash is to be widened and deepened at this end, it will be necessary to take care of it all the way through tne state and that looks like a government job. !

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.

It is difficult to understand why such terrible catastrophes as that which occured at New London, Texas, must come to us. Hundreds of happy children housed in a modern school building were killed or ’ terribly Injured in a gas explosion which completely wrecked the building. Os course all those in charge thought it was a safe and modern structure und just what j the cause will probably never be - known. Unsafe school buildings * i are a menace and when for one | purpose or another the attention i iof authorities are called by state I inspectors, it is wise to give alien- ! tion. The recent catastrophe is deeply regretted by the nation and ; our hearts go out to the griefstricken parents of that section. The only good that might result is ' that it should cause every one in- ' terested in school buildings over i the land to urge the best and safest facilities possible. The friends of the Rev. Father Joseph J. Hennes, and that includ- i | es all in this community who have ! known this good man and watched his earnest work among the people, are proud of his promotion to be director of the Catholic Youth Organization in the Fort Wayne deanery. No better man could be chosen for this important duty, for Father Hennes loves it and knows how to handle the young people to their good and to secure best rei suits. Nevertheless it is with much regret that we realize his new, duties will take him away from here. We know Father Hennes has loved this community and we know he is held in the very highest re gard. Wherever he goes and whatever his work, we predict for him success. Well prepared, with a I pleasing personality, interested in j life and all that goes to make it | worth while, he whs sure to attract I attention and we are not surpris- I i ed at the summons to enter upon a larger field. We hope he contin- 1 nes to be active in this territory .and that he visits us ofteu. Good ( luck and lots of it, Father Hennes 1 and don't forget us. Senator Harrison says there will be no new taxes as a result of the t present session of congress. We 1 seem to be getting to the point where we can begin to budget. THE HICK TOWN IS GONE The Hick Town is gone and the ' small city has everything the big j town has including vice, in lesser! proportions only. That's just one , . of the statements made by Steph-' ,en Holies, editor of the Janesville 1 ! 1 i , (Wisconsin) Daily Gazette. In a| t talk he made in Chicago last year, i , lie said the small town population I ! percentage of literacy is higher . than that to be found in any metropolis. There are no odorous slums, the people read the stock' , market and savings bank reports and are the bulwark of the nation. "Most 6T them still believe the ten commandments have not been re-' pealed.” he said. “Their fathers , were pioneers. They went into this "country without anything but a few household goods, a great faith, and an unswerving determination.” The story is the same whether starting on the shores of Plymouth Bay or ending at the Golden Gate. These small towns and the couni try round about in the new expan- ( sion from wilderness to cultivated fields, were built by those who believe that illiteracy is the greatest . enemy of democracy or represent-i I ative government. So there is someI thing tremendously fundamental in a nation of small towns where' . the newspaper is the unquestioned necessity for the stable and sound and homogeneous republic; a pressing, implacable force against ignorance and despotism. — Linotype I Shining Lines. — 0 Untied Shoestring Lucky Alamosa, Colo. .(U.R) — Harry . Wilkins, WPA welfare department official probably owes his life to a shoestring. While waiting for the - bus here, he noticed that his shoestring had broken and missed the . bus wbfle trying to purchase a new one. The bus was wrecked shortly 1 1 afterward.
