Texas, and other western states have brought predictions of a bumper wheat crop that will make the farmers of that section smile with joy. after several tough. years. Predictions are being made that a track record of 124 miles ahour will be made in the Indianapolis speedway classic this year. Have to do better than that boys to excite any one. they almost do it on the roads these days. Towns and cities north of here will go on daylight saving time next Sunday so arrange your dates accordingly. One of the inconveniences to many as the new time comes in is the change in any radio program which makes is dis ficult to adjust dinner and other dates to meet them. The baseball season is getting away to a good start, games for the opening week having been fast, with sensational plays and rain enough to stack up some reserve games for the holidays and special Sunday attractions. By the Fourth of July the fans ought to be well filled with enthusiasm. Mayor Bangs of Huntington is always in the headlines. His latest success along that line followed a terrific swing at an attorney appearing in one of the numerous cases tiled against the fighting executive, Claude Cline, in the Huntington court room. There was no damage and the mayor made the front page again. Governor Townsend will be j among the speakers at the dedi cation of the new WOWO and WGL radio stations in Fort Wayne on Saturday. May Ist The occasion is to be observed with due ceremonies, including greetings from many stations over the country and speeches by distinguished Hoosiers from the Fort Wayne' headquarters. Twenty-eight graduates of the Lynn, Indiana, high school were taken to Washington. D. C.. as a t commencement exercise and in appropriate manner, their diplomas were presented there by Senator Frederick VanNuys. The several days at the capitol will no doubt be as educational as any course they have taken during their school years. It looks as thought whatever the I position of employes of the Indiana Traction Railroad and the receiver, they will hold tight until the lines are doomed. It was for years one i of the outstanding traction roads in America and its abandonment would work a great inconvenience on that part of the public which still uses it both for passenger and freight conveyance. The endorsement of Senator VanNuys by former Senator James E. Watson may be one of the shrewd Jim's political tricks. He knows that his recommendation

would not make many Democrats follow any suggestion he might have. He is not for VanNuys but is friendly to any one. any time, any how to cause an argument among the Democrats. The two hired men on a Tompkins county (N. Y.) farm recently staged a sit down strike in the barn, demanding more pay. which the farmer wasn't making enough i to grant. Finding his arguments unavailing, the farmer turned the' bull loose. The sit-down strike ended right there. Perhaps harassed officials in sit-down areas might use this idea, and incidentally provide a good market for old bulls. — The Prairie Farmer. Hon. Floyd I. M< Murray, state superintendent of public instructions. will be the speaker at the commencement exercises of St. Joseph high school here in June. His message will be one that should help every graduate and every one else who hears it. A polished, educated and traveled gentleman of the highest grade, a splendid public official, willing and eager always to serve the public to the best of his ability. Mr. McMurray is a genuine leader. He will receive a hearty and sincere welcome here and the school will listen to a rare treat. The Decatur Junior Chamber of Commerce has opened its city improvement campaign and for thirty days will follow it up, using the school children along with their own organization to inspire every one to make this a more beautiful and a healthier and finer city in which to live. It's a splendid gesture and one that this live wire bunch of young men and women will put over. Watch for announcements from time to time and be sure to read the special pages devoted to the effort to appear this week on Saturday and after this for a month on Wednesday of each week, in the Daily Democrat. Jim Farley, cordial and smiling chairman of the Democratic National committee will be a guest of Indiana Democratic leaders next Wednesday afternoon and evening. News stories that his mission is to pick out a V. S. senator to succeed Senator VanJCuys is bunk of course. Political set ups as important as that are not done that way. So far the senator has not announced that he will be a candidate and no one has so far sought the place. In due time they will line up and then will be plenty of time to pull strings. This is the offyear in politics and the newsmen will provide many manufactured stories, based on any rumor or any outside facts they can find. The visit of the distinguished Mr. Farley here next week will stimulate Democratic workers and no doubt tend to coordinate the party. To cover the expenses of administering its unemployment compensation law for the present quarter enuing June 30. the State of Indi ana has been awarded $(H),737.60 by the Federal Government, it was announced by Regional Director H L. McCarthy of the Social Security board today. Additional grants will continue to be made quarterly in accordance with the provisions of the Social Security Act. For the past 12 months, since Indiana has had an unemployment | compensation law, nearly $8,000,000 have been deposited by employers to a state unemployment \ fund. The amount will be used to pay benefits to unemployed work- . ers which number 548,000 in employments covered by the state law. Actual payments will not begin umil next April because the Social Security Act requires that ' the fund be accumulated for two years before withdrawals for beneI fit payments are possible. * TODAY'S COMMON E°ROR * ''l I Never say, “I wish you hadn't of come;'' say, "hadn't come.” 1 ♦ <
