It should be a good time to make the action real. — Last day for tax paying and the | treasurers office was busy. Those ' i who fail to get in today will have to pay the penalty. It’s a tough semi-annual job, always has been , and always will be. The recent conviction in the Adams circuit court was the first by a jury in two years, a record that few counties can boast in this day and age when we hear so much of the fast living young people. May day meetings with more than the usual demonstrations by the workers were held in many cities o> the world. For years this date has been used by laborers to parade and to in various ways express their feelings. Don't forget to buy your intangible tax stamps. Your bonds and stocks that require these are not good without them and those who purchased properties at the delinquent tax sale should remember that to complete their transactions they must add the stamps. * • - Every merchant here who v ill advertise in the Daily Democrat consistently, will increase his business. That’s no guess, it’s the verdict of those who have tried it and we would be glad if you would work out a program if you haven’t already done so. Let us help you. Republicans in congress are urging a ten per cent reduction in all appropriations but of course thats a political maneuver. They don’t have to worry about paying the bills and are for any think that will bother the Democrats and give something to talk about in the next campaign. Some of these days the public is going on a sit-down strike and then what will happen? The consumer is a patient fellow usually and takes a lot but there is a limit and it is somewhat surprising he has taken all the abuse he has been forced to accept the past few years. Several of the Washington commentators seem to be losing customers which is not surprising if you have been reading their attacks on the administration. So apparent is the fact that much of CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed front 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.

what they say is manufactured :ind represents what they want ; rather than what they find in the nows that it Is no wonder many newspapers have stopped their pay. This is a great Saturday night i town and further plans for taking , care of our visitors will have to be made. More parking space and I that off the main streets should be provided. Lets convince those I in this trading area that we appre- 1 elate their business and want to make their visits here as pleasant as possible. It’s time to make your vacation plans and you will be surprised how reservtlons for hotel accomoi dations and cottages have already ' been closed. Indications are that I the various resorts will do the largest business In years and may set up a new record. Indiana has I twenty-one parks and you can find delightful and clean entertainment in any of them. Next Saturday will be a "Tag Day” when members of the Chamber of Commerce will assist the j members of the boy’s band to I raise a fund with which to purchase uniforms for the players. These band boys plan to give a series of concerts during the summer for the pleasure of the public, alternating weekly with the girl's band. They deserve your support j so be sure to buy a tag. Funeral services were held in Indianapolis this morning for "Jack" Shea, 72, veteran Demo cratic politician, known and loved ' by more workers over the state 1 than any man in Indiana. He was ; for years a right bower to the . famed Thomas Taggart, served as | ‘ sergeant-at-irrns for many state l conventions and several national 1 meetings. He was cordial, wise and helpful and during the past , decade seldom missed a day of i visiting with the boys at the Clay-, pook He will be long remembered as a regular fellow. The government cashed in on | careless addressing of mail to th*' extent of nearly $230,000 last year. An almost unbelievable total of 12,250.000 misdirected letters went ; ! to the dead letter division and of these 108,45-1 contained money in the sum of $96,326. Th© revenue to the government from all sources, including the sale of unclaimed packages, recovery of unused stamps and fees collected for returning misdirected letters, totaled j $229,353. Burton G. Cowles of the ! dead letter division has some i theories about what causes people to misdirect mail. One of the principal causes he contends is the "interrupted addresses.” This is caused when a letter writer is in-1 terrupted by a knock on the front door or the telephone rings. The letter is put aside and later mail- 1 ed with the address incomplete. He also lists an "association of ideas” category, citing a letter intended for Fort Recovery, Ohio, which, by some mental quirk gets an address of "Fort Convalescence.” No figures are given on the cost of operating the department, but it’s a safe bet that the $230,000 in revenue will not begin to take care of it.—-Newcastle Cour- : ier-Tiraes. I o | Registrations l or Motor Vehicles Up Indianapolis. May 3—Motor ve-1 hicle registrations for the three months ending April 1 showed an i increase of 77,977 over a similar period last year, Frank Finney, I state motor vehicle commissioner, announced today. Total registrations were 840,065 i ■ for January, February and .March of 1937, of which 673.421 were for { passenger cars. A total of 827,60? i operators’ licenses, an increase of ; 84,483, was issued during the ; three-month period. New car titles, a barometer of' business conditions. Increased i 10,344 to 50 147, despite the automobile strikes. Used car titles totalled 113,106, an increase of 1 14.506. o Hiram Lockwood, of Bluffton, is in a very serious condition at his home, suffering from heart disease. ■ He is not expected to live.

CHURCH REVIVALS Church of Nazarane Rev. M. T. Brandyberry's subject of last evening was "The People Had a Mind to Work.” He said in part. “Decatur needs a spiritual awakening more than they need the revenue from the j sale of intoxicating liquors. 1 America needs a spiritual awak- , ening more than they need an in- , creased army and navy. Legisla- • tion of social laws are beneficial ! to the masses, but that will not save America. America needs a I revival of spirituality. Five per cent of all church members dor not exist; 10 percent of them cannot be found; 25 percent never go to church; 50 percent never contribute a cent to the work of the church; ?5 nercent never attend' the midweek prayer service; 90 , percent do not have family worship in their homes; and 95 percent never try to win a lost soul to Christ.” These statistics are from the church statistical department.
