Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Henry Ford says he won’t agree with the proposed Lewis un-, ion in a hundred years. Tut, tut, Henry you can't hold out that long The thing that is hard to under-. stand is how they can organize J the Ford employees and call a strike unless the employees want to do it. Your spring taxes are due and must be paid not later than May 3rd if you wish to escape penalties. I Why not look after that little duty: now instead of waiting until the last day in the afternoon Business seems to be improving even with the churches—the First Methodist of Fort Wayne will ask the annual conference to appoint an assistant to the pastor. It's ap-, parent that good and bad times effect about every thing. At least fifty new houses are being contemplated here. A number of them are under construction now, others are being planned and still others are to be financed. It looks as though this would be the best year for building homes Deca tur has had in several decades. Premier Hepburn of Canada seems to have taken the same attitude with the strike organizers as did Governor Townsend. He has notified them that they don't need or want these agitators to settle their labor disputes and feel perfectly able to do so themselv- 1 es. —— The gross income tax report for the first quarter of this year is due now and the reports must be in the mail, where required, by the 15th. Those who fail to do this must pay penalties and fines. During the last six months of last year these amounted to more than half a million dollars. Why pay extra? If the weather doesn't dry np a little the farmers are going to get to planting oats when they ought to be putting in their corn. The ground is the wettest for several' years, due to the heavy rains in January and February. It may surprise many to know that the rain fall during March was below normal. The application for a federal grant with which to build a new high school buildng in Decatur is in Washington, bearing the approval of the state representatives 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 ad* dreo and new address.

I from the Indianapolis office. It Is! i possible that the sessions may op-' on in the new quarters by autumn of 1938. There is of course still' considerable conjecture, so don't J build hopes too high. I The new state highway comniis i sion believes that the people in! communities that pay the taxes ! should have something to say a- ' bout routes and other matter pertaining to the building of such ini-) provements. They will confer with! the cities in each county, to ascertain their desires, before definitely deciding upon permanent. routes. That sounds democratic 1 and is certainly fair. 1 Stocks, market prices and pro-! duce declined last week which is a good sign. The worst thing that' I can happen in building prosperity ' is for those in control of certain markets to advance them sky high as they did in 1929. If living | costs are held down and wages ! adjusted to meet them, every one 1 will be happier and much better I off than if we blow the baloon to' the point of bursting. Some notoriety seeking damsel' filed an affidavit against Beatty., the lion tamer with a thousand scars, charging him with cruelty I to animals because he used a whip; to make the lions and cats obey j him. If she thinks they can be ; handled by petting she is no doubt I i wrong and that's what the judge said when he dismissed the case and told Mr. Beatty to use his own judgment in handling his job. When the employes of a Hersh-1 ey plant in Pennsylvania went on a strike, they got along fine until it affected the market for the farm-1 ers of that section who sell them 890,000 gallons of milk per day and are well satisfied. The farm- , ers organized and went to the plant where they forcibly evicted |he ziO-downers, using emphases, enough that it is not thought prob- j able the workmen will care to try it again. The little slump in the stock ! market does not alarm the aver- j age person who realizes it is more ■ I or less a gamble all the time. Unless we Had these ups and downs, the business of buying and selling stocks would be neither profitable nor exciting. In other words most ! of the fluctation is due to manipulations. It's the other fellows game' and if you play it you ought to! | understand that. General business ! j continues good. Governor Townsend is home from ten days in Florida, where he attended the meeting of state representatives held in St. Petersburg, did some deep sea fishing and thoroughly enjoyed himself He is ready tor another tussle with the state, problems which are heavy , these days and which use up the vitality of the chief executive. It's fine to get away from the grind ' occasionally and Governor Town- ' send makes no pretense that he ( I doesn't like to do so. The traffice problem will not be solved unless local citizen* help to do it. As'long as we pay no at-j tention to parking rules, permit ’ the car engine to run while we liesurely attend to business in sonic ] store, pay little attention to stop i and go signs and otherwise disre- ’ gard the rules we think others! should obey, the officers can do little. Each year it becomes more I difficult to handle and each year i the dangers of serious accidents 1 ! are greater. • O—■■ —- Bachelor Aids Romance Pittsburgh.—<U.R>—Wedding bells are the keynote behind the newly formed Pittsburgh Friendship club. ; Bachelor William F.
