"Any shrine is better than self worship" and any egotist unless he possesses a sense of humor, would have that old saying in large letters on the wall before his desk. A few of our subscribers have j not renewed their subscriptions for the year. Wish you would do so at once as we are getting our paid up report ready for April Ist when it must be sent in. Easter Sunday will be appropriately observed in the churches of this county and plans are now going forward to make the occasion all it should be as one of the most sacred holidays of the year. It's spring and now for baseball training, opening of golf courses, a few showers and the usual busy season of house cleaning and planning for the summer. Officially the season opened yesterday. The strike of printi rs in Indianapolis continued only tweuty-seven hours, long enough to cause the three newspapers to lose out on giving their readers the story of the Texas school disaster. Negotiations will no doubt result in a satisfactory agreement. It was the first time the papers had missed publication in thirty-four years. Now for another week and it s Easter week. Every merchant should send a message tnrough the Daily Democrat to its fifteen thousand readers, telling them what they have to sell that will make the occasion a happier and better one. The people are looking for just what you have. Tell them about it and you may be surprised at results. The government is happy that Mr. Mellon gave his wonderful art display to the nation and will provide a suitable place in which to house it, the people are happy to have the privilege of seeing the wonderful display which is perhaps the greatest in the whole world and now Mr. Mellon says he is happy that the gift has been accepted. So wo are pleased all the way around. Il won't he long now until we will all know jus t what team in the state is basketball champion. The nearly eight hundred fives have been eliminated down to four and these will settle thei argument next Saturday. While there is perhaps not as much interest as in the days when thirty-two sectional champions met to fight it 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 i two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address. 1

out but It's much easier on the i team members and that's more ini j portant than furnishing thrills for; the crowd. Fake agents are reported to be : traveling over this part of the country selling correspondence courses to high school boys and 1 . girls, which according to the Bet- j ter Business Bureau of Fort Wayne I ** spurious. These agents ought 1 to be caught and severely punish I cd for thus taking advantage of I i inexperienced school children. Per-! i haps they feel that an early ‘‘trimming" may be a good lesson for j these youngsters hut it's a dirty way to pick up a likelihood. The cost of living lias stix per cent the past two years, j according to the index compiled j iby the Labor De)»artment of the! r. S. government. That's certainly not unexpected for during the de- j pression cost of living was reduced to a minimum that was understood could be only temporary. There is danger of a more rapid increase 1 in the future and this should be j tempered with good judgment. In other words, the general scale , should advance but living cost and j earning power must be kept pretty close together if we are to really improve conditions. If the increases are 100 rapid wo are sure to head in to another 1929 disast or, hut if we are careful and sensible we can make this a happy era for every one. Few disasters in history have been us tragic as that wh.cn p'ac ed a pall over Texas and the nation as a result of the school house explosion at New London, where nearly live hundred met death, i most of them innocent children, where parents are wild with grief and where little can he done to I console them. Our sympathies go out to Mr. Shaw, superintendent and to all others who were in i charge of one of the finest rural schools in the world. They wil! ( never foget the tragedy and never have the same spirit. In many catastrophes it is possible to render aid as was done during the recent floods but this was all over in a short lime and was so com plete thdt only words of sympathy can be offered and these seem idle. ' It was a terrible accident, from which the nation should be reminded that the most careful inspection should be given to those, buildings in which the children and their teachers are housed day after day. ' -.i. Emil Hurja, right-hand man ot i Postmaster General James A. Far- | ley, has long lieen regarded as a forecaster extraordinary. He predicted that Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York would win overwhelmingly in the presidential contest of 1932. He predicted that the Democrats would gain additional congressional seats in the by-elec-tion two years later. He predicted that President Roosevelt's 1936 opponent would be Allred M. Landon of Kansas. He predicted a Roosevelt re-election triumph last j year, but did not approximate the electoral total which the postmast-er-general correctly prophesied. All in all. Mr. Hurja has achieved a remarkable reputation ill figuring out political forecasts. No wonder that private businesses have made effort after effort to hire him to do the same for them economically as he has done for the Democratic 1 party politically. When he resigns his present post to go to work for j a private concern in about two | months, Mr. Hurja automatically! i becomes a political legend with an ; j almost unbeatable batting average, j ■ —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. < ♦ • Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE ♦ « Q.

We strived in Washington Sunday evening at 12 o’clock, ! ate and went to bed. Monday morning we got up at . and went to the congressional of ! fices. This building contains all j the offices of the representatives. We met Finley Gray, congressman from the Muncie district; then went to the senate building and saw Senator Sherman Minton. After the rest left, three of us re- j maiued and talked with him. He I gave his views of the court proiiosals and we told him about Indiana. Then we went to the bureau of : printing and engraving where they make all the money and stamps. They make more than eighteen million dollars a day. 1 saw the whole process, my hands covered a million dollars and also my hands were placed on lop of a plate glass under which were twelve SIOO,OOO hills, besides a lot of bills from SSOO to $50,000. From there to the department of justice where we went through the crime laboratories. saw over ’six million finger prints, had ours taken and ran the criminal records of Diltiugcr, "Baby face" Nelson. Hamilton and Hauptmann. The “G” men gave us conclusive evidence that Hauptmann was guilty. We saw all kinds 1 of guns taken from gangsters. I molds of faces, etc. We met and | talked to J. Edgar Hoover, head of I the department. He is a swell guy. | We saw how the men are trained. Last night we went over to the > congressional library and saw tliw original Declaration of lndepen- - dence and the constitution of the United States as written in 1789, also saw over 3,0*H1.000 book*, and every magazine printed in the world. 550 daily V. S. papers and 220 foreign papers. This n. ming we went to the capitol building 1 The senate was having a hearing on the Supreme Court changes. 1 saw Senators Norris of Nebraska. Mahony of Wyoming. Minton of Indiana. Bone of Washington and Austin of Maine. Also saw President Greene of the A. F. of L., and Garner’s body guard. This afternoon we went to the house of representatives and heard i the debate on the neutrality hills. Heard congressmen from Maine, Massachusetts, Oklahoma and oth-i ; er states. It was very interesting. We are going out now to “Little j , congress." Write you later. Your son, Mariou. I W BRAUN } rJEe Safely 'Man After spending half the night celebrating a birthday party, two | young men left in separate earn for home. They drove different routes j hut as they lived in the same neighborhood. they eventually .had to ! cross their route somewthere. It so happened that while driving at a reckless rate of speed, they collied at one of the intersections. Both of them got out and were about to engage in a heated argument about j driving while drunk when suddenly l they recognized one another.
