Get the rake and hoe out and go to it. Fine exercise and a lot of fun to plant and watch things grow. It will be tine if some plan is worked out that will prevent strikes and many believe this can be arranged under the Wagner law which has recently been held good by the Supreme Court. The fishing season will close Fri-I day, the 30th and between that time and June 15th you can't legally catch bass, blue gills and other game fish in the rivers and lakes of Indiana. If you contemplate getting in on the early sport, it's time to be oiling up the old reel. The plan inaugurated here last week for buying milk on the grade is growing in favor and those who attended a conference with Gov ernor Townsend Thursday say thati he is in favor of and will help inaugurate an inspection system that will prove to the benefit of all concerned. Don't neglect the church. After all It's the balancing power for any community, county, state or nation. As the country builds up, the church and the school must also grow and keep pace. With your sincere support that can be done easily and with better returns than any other investment. Automobile factory strikes have cost the industry, employes, merchants and the state of Michigan $477,int0,00P so far this year. Think of it. a half billion dollars tossed into the settlement of problems that should have been decided in a few hours conferences between those vitally interested. It is claimed the average pay for big league ball players is >8,240 per year for eight mouths work, sufficient to prevent sit-down strikes. When Dizzy and the boys put on their acts, it should be remembered that it pays to advertise, especially when they can get it on the first pages of the sport editions free. The house building fever is on and the hammers will be heard all summer. Besides the fact that from 1 thirty to fifty people are planning to build homes for themselves, there are several deals to build in groups. It's a good sign and indications are that Decatur will take 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 addreea.

care of the house situation, meeting every demand. The G. E. recreational building ■ will be dedicated some time in June It is thought and the event : promises to be a happy one. The new building will provide many > happy hours for the employes of ; this wonderful company which is going forward with rapidity at the | present time. The local plant has more than 550 people on the pay ' roll and is turning out from 15,000 to 20.000 motors a week. Maxie Baer, once world champion, tried to come back in a I battle in London against Tommy Farr, Welshman, but lost in twelve rounds. He said "Guess I can't ' tight any more," which is not news to the tight fans of America. Maxie lost his head when he won the championship and led a Tile of dis ; sipation for a year or two, to find . that wine, women and song was ( | the surest way to train for a fall in the great game of self defense., Those who say the present era lof prosperity is to be short lived just don't know what they are talk- ] ing about. Every one needs so i much, every one is so anxious to go ahead, every one believes in I this country so whole heartedly that there is no way to stop this forward movement for a long time. 1 Once the nation gets settled down las it will do during the next few months, business will go forward in a healthier manner than you ever knew. Make your plans to go along. We can't sympathize with most sit-downers but the one at Tobinsport, Indiana seems to be justified. Miss Mae Leaf. 45, operates the telephone exchange in her home and is supposed to get fifteen dollars a month. She hasn't received a penny since February and decided she was not bound to answer dalle. She closed the switchboard and is taking a vacation, the first I in thirty-four years, while the sub-, scribers dig up her wages and those of her daughter. Indiana is for education and I proud of it. Rarely are objections | offered to any proposition to bene-■ fit the schools. Children cannot' wait for their education while oth er proposals can usually be delay-' ■ cd without injury to any person or group. In Kansas many schools i have closed early this spring because enough taxes were not lev- 1 I ied aud the laws in that state pre-' vent borrowing for operation of the schools. We are grateful for the spirit in this state and hope it continues. John Rouff of Huntington got mad when he lost on a pin ball machine and carried it out of the store with him. He claimed it was a gambling device and the case has attracted considerable attention. John lias been in jail but finally got a hearing and paid a 1 dollar fine and was released. In the meantime they are trying to decide whether or not the pin ball machine is a gambling device or a game of skill, a problem that may effect a lot of Indiana people, one way and another. Many Adams county people have learned with deepest sorrow of the death of David O. McComb. 65, for a quarter century superintendent of the Allen county schools. He appeared here on numerous occasions aud was highly respected as a school man. He was regarded as one of the best school men in Indiana, was a tireless worker until his health failed a few months ago and was interested in all things that were intended to help in the [ educational field. He will be miss- , cd for a long time in this part of Indiana. 'I TODAY’S COMMON ERROR * Never say, “I had luncheon j | with Reverend Johns;” say. j I “Reverend Mr. Johns." '♦ ♦!
