Surely they will soon have every thing talked out so that production can be resumed. They are losing au exceedingly good year of business. Adams county should have a highway committee which would work out definite plans for the next four years and then push those plans through. It can be done to the great advantage of every part of the county if enough effort is made. Several terrible murders occurred over the week end. one in Illinois. another in New York and numerous ones in almost every state. Something seems to be wrong with many people aud the crimes grow more gruesome if any . . thing. Oh well, that, new Easter suit won't spoil and it won't be long until it will fit the weather much better than it did last Sunday, if you haven't fitted yourself out yet, take a look at the wonderful displays of clothing for men aud women, boys and girls, now being shown in Decatur stores. A few days of spring aud the general cleanup of house and yard wjll be on. Os course Decatur as it has for years will cooperate in every way possible to do a good job. Visitors to the community are attracted by cleanliness and it requires just a little effort to make the old towu shine. If the supreme Court continues to give decisions unanimously as they did yesterday, it won’t be' long until those who have been defending them will be accusing them of being too much in accord with President Roosevelt and you know there are a few to whom that would be little short of treason, ; John L. Lewis goes right back at William Green, each accusing the other of being wrong and in language that seems strange for these two men who in past years had worked shoulder to for the laboring man. Just now they are getting farther apart and there is danger of the unions suf-; faring as a result of the conflict, j — Even the spirit of Easter failed to bring a respite in the terrible: civil war which for months has taken so great a loss of life in Spain. The Loyalist faction 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 addrew and new addreea.

■that of the opposing forces are lighting desperately and the loss of i life has been terriffic the past few weeks. What a terrible thing is , war of this kind in which families are ditided and In which deatruction cannot be replaced tn a cenlt tury. t Prof. Henns tutu Joe Ellsworth lof the University of California 2 have invented a bug killed that 0 really does the job. Its au electric ® bulb which attracts all kinds ot 5 0 insects and the minute they alight 6 they laud in heaven. It has been * successfully tried out and it is pre- ' dieted will be as popular as the electric toaster In a year or two. It is being installed now by theaters, swimming pools, service stations aud playgrounds. It is predicted that not less than , a hundred thousand trailer cars will be sold in this country this year, adding to the growing popu,l lation of travelers. In many cities, especially the summer and winter resorts, the sanitary problem in : connection with this newest mode of habitation has already become 1 something to cause study and : action. Indiana has recognized the - situation by fixing a 35 registraI tion fee for the house cars. i While most people probably 1 agree with Mr. Green, president of the A. F. of L. that sit down strlk- ' ers are wrong, that no person has > a right to trespass or to destroy property belonging to some one i else, they also feel that every time some thing arises out of the ordinary, it should not be necessary to pass it along to the federal govI eminent. In other words it would , seem that local and state officials , should handle situations that are in violation of the laws. We expect too much from the federal government. — J I I The Supreme Court of the Unit,j ed States has rendered decisions 1 upholding the new Fraxter-Lemcke mortgage law and the railroad act, indicating a recognition of the NewDeal that would have been surprising a year ago. The whole affair will probably straighten out in due time and we will have our country and our constitution, though many have expressed fears of bad results. We may not always agree i in this country but the average citizen is too smart to aid in destruction of the greatest form of 1 government ever inaugurated by; man. One hour parking on Second. ; street would help the officers whose job it is to look after down town traffic. The tough job is to permit those who must drive up to a business house to get close enough to unload goods. It seems to us that every business man would wish to cooperate in a movement to make it easier to get to their, | store. During this year the state highway commission will determine the definite route of No. 27 and No. 224 and unless we can show them that traffic here does not interfere with through travelers, these roads will go around the city. It's a matter that should have serious thought. o Modern Etiquette | By ROBERTA LEE • < Q. Is it advisable to give a child an allowance ot money? A. Some parents consider it wise to do so, training the child in the handling of money. But it all depends on whether this allowance is nominal or excessive. Par ' ents should not he too indulgent. Q. When a girl is preceding her escort, and comes to a door, should she open it? A. No 1 : she should stand aside and allow her escort to open the door and hold it wide for her to pass through. Q. What is the best way to indicate to the waiter that you have I finished a course? A. Place the knife on the plate, ; blade in, alongside the fork.

GOV. TOWNSEND HITS FACTIONS __ Indiana Governor Working To Remove factional Interests Indianapolis. Mar. 30. —<U.R) —Gov.i M. Clifford Townsend's recent ap 1 point meats of state officials indicate today that he is determined to harmonize all factioanl interests in the Democratic party and most firmly not to be bound by his prede- ’ i cesor. former Gov. Paul V McNutt. Patronage moves by the governor to date reveal: 1. Gestures toward R. Earl Peters. Indiana federal housing administrator and former state Democratic chairman, with whom McNutt broke in 1934 when Peters wanted to be United Slates senator. 2. Another gesture toward the ! supporters of Pleas Greenlee. McNutt's patronage secretary who . aspired unsuccessfully to be goverInor in 1932. Those who swung back to the fold after the state convention are being given some meas- ; ure of recognition while the irreconcilables are being weeded out. 3. A definite effort to gi»e lu--1 dianapolis its full share of patronage to control this key county while at the same time ruin the

Dismissal of some McNutt I henchmen while others who have I remained loyal to Townsend are | being retained. ■' Marshall Williams. Indianapolis, (appointed by the governor to the state tax board, is not only a form-, er Democratic state committee secretary but also a former associate of Peters in the FHA. The fact that Albert Walstnan, a Demo-; . cratic member of the state tax I board and considered one of the i! most capable men to sit on that t J group in years, was removed iu ' favor of Williams proves the determination of the governor to give | the Peters group adequate recognition in the state administration. Two factors contributed to Wais- . man's removal. First, the Indiana- . polls district chairman, Henry . Goett, is a Baker supporter; aud i second, Walkman backed the plan . to tax revenue-producing property of tax-exempt organizations, which produced the opposition of relig- . ious, fraternal and benevolent , groups to his reappointment. Phil- . lip Zoercher. tax board chairman, was less articulate on this legisla- . tion and received the support of these organized bodies. Relative to the Greenlee recon ci'iation, Hallie Myers.

! ture by Townsend. Myer's was chief doorkeeper in the house during the recent assembly session. Other Greenlee adherents, how ever, have been weeded out, such as Phil Lutz, former attornyy-gen-eral, aud most of the members of > his staff. Indianapolis appointments dotn-1 inate those made by Townsend. Marion county is represented thus far by two members of the state tax board; two members ot the alcoholic beverages commission ■ plus the secretary; the chairman- ; ship of the state probation board; chairmanship ot the state barber; board, aud membership on the state police, board. Other lesser important appointments are expected to further strengthen the goveriffir’fi ■ hold on Marion county. Finally, Townsend has not hesitated to remove McNutt 'support ers, although some nave been retained in high positions, such as Earl Crawford, former secretary to McNutt who was named chairman of the state highway commission with a $27,000,000 budget at his command. But others have been eliminated, and the inner council of Townsend advisors has been revamped to include his own personal friends such as Alex Pursley, fifth district ichairman; L. L. Needier, of the Indiana Rarm Bureau; Kenneth Kunkel, now a member of the conservation department and one of I the governor's financial "angels" during the campaign; aud Virgil , Simmons, head of the inconspicuous conservation department. Lesser patronage matters have been placed in the hand of county: ; chairmen, who jammed Townsend's ' office daily before he left for Florida for a vacation, -indicating that with the $80,000,000 biennial budget and the large patronage whip that goes with it he intends to construct a formidable Democratic machine. And the reason, statehouse ob- ; servers say, is that Townsend realizes that the McNutt presiden- ! tial boom may collapse but also may have enough impetus to produce a vice-presidential nominee from Indiana. And this, his friends already are saying, may be Townsend himself. o Answers To Test Questions i i Below are the answers to the Teal Questions printed on Page Two 1. Japan. 2.

SERIES OF SEED THEFTS SOLVED Two Plead Guilty At Celina, Two Others To Fight Charges Celina, O, Mar. 30 Four men 1 allegedly implicated In a series of i clover seed thefts in northwestern I Ohio were arraigned Monday two pleading guilty and two other* preparing to fight the charges. George Green 22. Van Wert, who admits that it was he who was shot through the shoulder during an attempted burglary at Ft. Jennings earlier in the month, pleaded guil--1 ty to participating in the burglary ■ of the Little elevator at Rockford. O . on March 18. Squire C. B. Rice : of Celina set his bond at $2,000 and remanded him to jail in default of bond Tony Talerico of Fort Wayne,who also confessed to Mercer county officials, pleaded guilty to I the same charge, received the same boud and was remanded to i jail. I Carey Switzer. 45. Van Wert, pleaded not guilty to implication in the theft and was remanded to jail' ! upon default of $7,500 bond. Isaac Putman, 52, Van Wert, was arraigned in the court of Squire ' W S Giffin in Van Wert on : charges of concealing stolen property to which he entered a plea of not guilty and was bound over to : common pleas court under bond of [ SSOO. William Robinson, arrested in ' Fort Wayne Saturday night, has been implicated by confession of ! Talerico and Green. He is expect’ed to be extradited within a fewdays to Mercer county. The burglary of the Little elevat- ‘ i or at Rockford netted approximately $1,500 worth of clover seed. Depredations since the first of the 1 year in Mercer and Van Wert coun- ' ties caused about $4,500 loss to ‘; elevator operators. Arrest of Talerico last week led to apprehension of the others. told officers he remembered certain buildings in Van Wert where clover seed had been taken 1 after it was stolen and then identi-1 tied Switzer as “Jim,” the man who had helped them unload their truck. Green was arrested after Taler- ' ico's confession and was found to have been wounded A suitcase 1 labeled “Kid Robinson" containing the bloodstained shirt . worn by Green the night of the Ft. i Jennings burglary attempt were found in Switzer's residence along with several guns. Green was paroled from the lowa reformatory last October after serving more than three years. Robinson is a former inmate ot the Ohio state penitentiary where he j served out a full term. Q.
