Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. Van Wert is getting ready for its annual Peony Festival, always an event worth while. It has become an affair of interest to many and folks come from a long distance to see the greatest show of its kind in America. If you have something to sell. I trade, rent, want to buy or ex-, change articles or have some other message you wish to give the ' public, try the Daily Democrat classified columns. It pays big div-; idends as those who have used it will verify. The new labor department in Indiana seems to be working. A strike at Connersville was settled in a few hours after those in authority got together. There is no reason in most instances why these difficulties should not be settled without loss of time or danger to life. Indianapolis police now make arrests of jay-walkers who cut across streets in the middle of the block. That seems the only w-ay to stop the practice and it works. About the time you have paid a two to four-dollar fine a couple of times, you don’t think it’s too much trouble to walk up to the corner and cross with the lights. The next week will tell the talc as to whether or not we will have an oats crop in this section. Only [ a small percentage has been sowed up to date, but with a week of fair weather, hundreds of acres will be put in. If it's not done soon we are informed, it will be too late to bother with, and the fields will have to be used for beans or oth-1 er crops. More than 15,000 dependent chil dren in this state are being cared for in their own homes under the security act, this number having been increased from 800 last Aug ust, explaining why it costs more money and why capable organizations to care for this forward means of looking after the needy children, is necessary. Take a look at the posters prepared by the school children for the civic improvement campaign. Many of them are wonderful and you will not only be enthused in the effort to beautify and help De- I catur but you will be impressed by the excellency of the artistic work done by these young folks. They are on display in dow-ntown windows now. CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give o!d 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 address. (

| The supreme court measure as I recommended by the president ' may not pass this session. Both sides claim victory but admit it is so dose that any thing can happen, but of this bo sure what ever is right about it will eventuul- ; ly win. That’s the way we do it in America and it’s often well to think abaut these things seriousI ly rather than rush them through. The Madison Courier observes its one hundredth birthday with a fifty page special edition that rc-' cords much history of interest and is well supported by the citizens 1 of that community. The paper started in 1937 and since 1849 has I lieen operated by the Garber fam-1 ily, now in the third generation. It j is recognized as one of the excell J ent newspapers of that part of the ; state. Adams county folks who met and ' heard Harry 11. Woodring when he spoke at the Catholic auditorium here during the last campaign ■ will be pleased with his appoint-! ment as secretary of war. When 1 here, he was serving in that position under a vacation appointment; which now has been made permanent. He is splendidly qualified ■ I and will give a good account of' his high office. Henderson, Ky., is trying to, . collect $300,000 in back taxes from i the city of Evansville because it i is contended the Evansville water I works lies in Kentucky and not in Indiana. It is an old argument[ and the chances ar 6 Henderson won't get very far. Evansville contends that since it is an Indiana ; city it cannot be sued in Kentucky ! and that no Kentucky officer can i serve a summons in Indiana. Regardless of what you may ’ have read from time to time about , any quarrels or disagreements | within the ranks ol the Indiana j Democratic organization, you may I dismiss them and you rest assured that, its affairs are being oper- [ ated to the best advantage and are running smooth. The conferences this week with the national chairman, James A. Farley showed also that the contract with the Washington administration is pleasant and most friendly. The suggestion has been made that plans be started to make the state routes for highways through Decatur boulevards, widening the 'surface and beautifying these streets to make them more attractive. It’s worth thinking about and we wouid be pleased to have your ideas on these matters. State representatives will be here to discuss i with us what we desire in the way ‘ of permanent routes for the various state highways through the city. Now is the time to think about this matter. ss Names of several are being mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomination for United Stat- ; es senator next spring to oppose James E. Watson, who seems to be the one and only candidate for the G. O. P. On the list we notice I the name of Samuel Jackson of Fort Wayne, a lawyer of ability, a i clean and capable citizen, well known here and highly respected. If the honor should come to him he would find excellent support here. Others mentioned include i Senator VanNuys for reelection, Mayor Kern of Indianapolis and several others. It has been a long time since the north part of the i state has been represented in the senate and many believe it is time i to recognize this great section of i Indiana. o Adams County Memorial Hospital Admitted Friday: Mis.
