McNutt for the Philippine Islands on April, 3rd attracts more attention since | announcement has been made that President Roosevelt will probably visit him next autumn. It looks like the strikes must be stopped or they will stop the country. Stocks are off because of the unsettled condition and the outlook at present is not nearly as good as it was three months ago. Saturday will be Student Day in the Decatur stores when members of the Decatur High School will act. as clerks and will appreciate your business. You will find them courteous and efficient and glad to see you. Justice Hughes thinks it would be a mistake to increase the number of members of the Supreme Court and his letter has the endorsement of Judges Brandeis and VauDevanter. Does that mean its another six to three decision? Governor Townsend is a booster for the old fashioned spelling contest, now becoming quite popular and believes every student should give special attention to learning how* to spell correctly. His address over the radio during a recent contest was most interesting. Business will cease in Decatur on Good Friday for three hours, from 12 noon to three o'clock, while special services are being conducted in several of the' churches. It is a custom which is each year becoming more and more prevalent and one that is helpful to the world. The thirty-second annual convention of the Northern Indiana Firemens Association, will be held here June 11th and 12th, so you can get ready for a good time for these boys always put on a good entertainment. Plans are now under way to extend a real welcome to the visitors and to make their visit a happy one. Senator Gottschalk has entered upon his duties as supervisor of penal and benevolent institution:: with offices at 141 South Meridian Street, iu Indianapolis. It’s a very important position and one that Thurman is qualified to fill. Nearly a quarter century in legislative; work has prepared him to handle | 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 addreM and new address.

' the various problems In an exceli lent manner. The mayoralty problem in Hunt- ( ington is coming to a head. Mayor Bangs has been impeached and t while he refuses to accept the t mandate, is in a position that he _ | can't do any thing. He says he t will appeal his dismissal by the council to the courts and keep up ; the tight, but seems to be on the > wrong side, since his strongest ’ supporters have deserted him. > ' i We have a hunch that Jim Bradj dock will never go to Berlin to light Schmeling. He says he will for $400,000 but he will probably , want that iu his own bank and with some other "ifs" and provis- j I ions that no one would meet. It' will be a relief when Braddock j meets up with either Lewis or' , Schmeling and shows the fight fans that he either is a champ or an ■ accident. While there appears to be some , difficulty in raising the money for ' the propsed new school building here, this should not and will not | prevent those iu charge continuing their efforts until they have ac-1 complished their purpose, that of; providing a suitable, modern and well equipped school building. Under present conditions, it is estimated it will cost between three and four hundred thousand dollars to provide what is wanted and financing a proposition of that size, is always a headache. We believe there is away and that those in charge will find it. A time limit for parking on Sec-j ond and Monroe streets may save I route 27 and route 224 through the city. The definite survey of these roads is now being made and the' permanent routes will be decided upon during this year so that when ! the state takes over the city streets next January Ist as provid ed for in the new law, they will know they can spend the money without danger of change. The reason of course for circuiting cities is to get away from dangerous traffic. We believe it is to the advantage of every merchant here to have the highways go through the business section. What do you' think? While several sport writers and many fans are "pulling" for Huntingburg to win the state basketball j championship, those in the "wise'’ are confident the Fort Wayne Tig i ers. representing this sectional district should be the favorites as to form. It is natural for sport fans to boost the underdog and since Huntingburg is a new entrant in the state arena, they are receiving a lot of encouragement. No doubt it is a splendid team as also Anderson and Rochester can boast, but they will find the Fort Wayne outfit a classy squad with speed and' power and every thing it takes to! make a real championship team. ■ —. -.t-=b The survey made by local work-' ers under direction of Dr. A. Earl Kernahan of Washington, D. C..1 discloses that in this territory, in-; eluding Decatur and surrounding ■ communities, there are from fifteen hundred to two thousand adults who do not belong to any church. I Committees are calling upon these men and women to urge them to unite with any church iu which they favor the teachings, a worthy effort entitled to support. No one I will question the fact that one who associates with a church is a bet- ' ter citizen and the addition of sevj eral hundred of these prospects would strengthen the church and aid the community. The final report as to immediate success will be interesting and the campaign should go on until every one has had a personal invitation to be- | come a part of the greatest work in the world. 0 Dog Birth Records Asked Augusta, Me.—KU.R) —- Dogs, as 1 well as babies, would have birth certificates if the Maine legislature adopted a bill tiled by Rep. Joy' Dow. Jr. His measure would have dog owners file notice of birth with' i municipal assessors.
