The plowman who used to “homeward plod his weary way. now uses a tractor and the dog goned thing doesn’t work so good when the ground is wet two feet down. An eastern critic declares Shir-, ley Temple can't act but she is probably making a hundred times as much as the “wise guy" who wrote it so what does she care? Rev. A. Elliston Cole, familiarlyknown among his friends and associates as “King" Cole, is one of the most popular men in the state and his selection without opposition to be president of Rotary for the Indiana district, was a deserving honor. Os course the big sporting event for this week will be the Kentucky Derby to be run at the Churchill Downs track at Louisville. It has for years been the greatest race in the world and this year will attract a record crowd and perhaps other new records. Next Sunday is Mother’s Day, an occasion when we i>ay respect to those dearest of all world lead ers. It is a time when youth should give respect to mother, with a kindly word, a greeting, flowers, candy or a good hug and kiss. Make Ui. day a happy one for the mother you love. The Gallop poll shows that President Roosevelt is more popular now than he was at the last election and has 63% of the people solidly back of him. That’s something he is no doubt proud of and for that reason he feels he should go on in his efforts to make this a grander country in which to live. Plans go forward tor the convention of firemen to be held here June 11th and 12th and indications are that it will be one of the best for attendance and entertainment. The committees are working hard and reporting good success all along the line. Get ready to enjoy the occasion with the boys. A new rate announced by telegraph companies, effective June Ist will make it possible to send twenty-five word night letters between any points in the United States for twenty-five cents or you may send a thirty word radiogram for the same price. It’s always welcome news when costs are reduced so this ought to please. Buying advertising in score cards, time table sheets, director- :

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 address, j

! ies. etc., is a waste of money so far as advertising values are conI cerned. If you wish to support some enterprise that is using this means of raising money, well and good, but if you are expecting re- ; turns, you will probably be disappointed. Rev. R. W. Graham who will i serve as pastor of the Methodist church here, takes much interest i in public affairs, according to the Kendallville N- ws Sun. During the three years he has served at Ken dallville he has been active in B.iy Scout work, the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary club. He was president of the latter organization last year. When we see a car behaving rather queerly on the highways, it’s probable some one will say, "oh. its just another woman driver." but those who do may be surprised to learn that of 2,345 car drivers involved in accidents during the first two months of this year, only 137 wore women. Most of the drivers were men between . the ages of to 49. It develops that Ellis Parker of Newark. N. J., expected by his plan to dig up a victim of the Lindbergh kidnaping case, to land J. Edgar Hoover’s place as head of the “G-men,” so he and his gang kidnaped a man named Wendel and forced him to make a false confession. Now they are to paytor their foolish ambitions and methods of obtaining them. Farms continue in good demand, according to a report ot the Farm Credit Association. A thousand more farms were sold during the first quarter of this year than during the same time last year. Farm owners and previous tenants bought 3.625 farms during this period. Continued excess of sales over acquisitions reduced the inventory of f irms and sheriff’s cer- i tificates to 25.411. | "Gone with the wind" was the "distinguished novel" for 1936 am? i the Pulitzer prize of SI,OOO goes to the author, Margaret Mitchell of Atlanta. Ga., who leaped into; literary fame with this story of Civil War days that led all the best sellers many months the past year. It is estimated Miss Mitch , ell. real name Mrs. John Marsh, has received more than a half million dollars in royalties from her book. Food is scarce in Germany and , Hitler believes the country should I sustain itself. So he has issued strict diet orders, effective May Ist and to be rigidly enforced until the shortage is over. Remember back in the war days here when we had to measure sugar, flour, fuel and other commodities? It’s * no fun and we hope it never oc-I curs again in this land of plenty 1 where we can be happy if we try and use a little judgment. The government is trying to i collect $1,600,000 from Pierre S. | DuPont and John J. Raskob for I taxes in 1929. Such a little mttter ' as that would be taken care of, ■ you might think, but there seems | to be quite an argument about it. 1 The big financiers transferred stock in what is termed “washed ' sales,” meaning transfers back and forth at less than the market, to establish deductable losses and ; thus reduce their income taxes. Any way it will be worth watching. * congress Today * By UNITED PRESS Senate In recess. Committees: Judiciary considers court reor-j ganization bill in executive sess--ion. 10:30 a. m.

AMATEURS GET PICTURE OFFER Eord Offers Prizes For Best Action Pictures Os V-S Truck' Here’s a new ouportunity for amateur photographers to cash in on their hobby. The Eord Motor Company has isxued an invitation to amateurs to send in action pictures of 1937 Ford V-8 trucks and offer to pay ten dollars for each print accepted. Amateurs in a 1 ! sections of the I country are expected to respond. 1 . Only pictures showing truck* at work making deliveries, being load-1 ed or unloaded or performing units- [ ual and interesting jobs are wanted, i The announcement state* that ■ only sharp focus, fine grain, glossy I prints with good detail will be pur-' i haaed The 8 x 10 size I* preferred i although 5x7 prints will be con-' ■ sidered. Amateurs are instructed to in-' dude with each print submitted au I advertising release signed by all persons appearing ip the photograph. as well as from the owner of I each truck photographed. Copies of' a release form may be obtained' from the Ford Motor Company. Dearborn, Mich. A list of suggestions has been I compiled to aid amateurs in getting , tlie best results. These are as follows: Radiator and name iplate of truck should be in plain view and should not be blocked out by persons or objects between camera anj the , truck. Since the human touch -is necessary to make an action picture, the presence of at least one person is r jnired n each photograph. Worm’s eye views and trick shots will be considered, but the company desires realistic illustrations. Although good backgrounds are highly des-rable, they should not l dominate the scene. Truck engines should be turned off during exposures to prevent blurred negatives. Amateurs planning to send in prints are directed to get in touch with a local Ford dealer for the purpose of obtaining the names of , owners of 1937 trucks and to get i themse'ves thoroughly acquainted with the appearance of new models. PHnts should be forwarded to the E'ord Motor Company, Dearborn, Michigan. i, ° » Answers To Test Questions J Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ■ « « 1.

Modern Etiquette -BY— By ROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ Q. How long should the letters ’ be that a bride writes when acknowledging her wedding gifts? A. These acknowledgments can be notes, not long letters. It is not the length of the acknowledgement that is as important as the J sincerity and genuine appreciation expressed. Q. When one's name is pro-1 nounced wrong, should one correct the pronunciation? A. Yes. but it must be done in a friendly manner, never resent-; fully. Q. Should a dinner dance include a large number of people or a small group? A. The dinner dance usually includes a small, select company. j o Church of N?zarene The Rev. M. T. Brandyberry' epoke to a large and attentative audience last evening from the subject. “The Price Paid for a Reviva’." The sermon tselfing was taken from the book of Jonah. He said in part. “If the people of Decatur want a spiritual awakening there must be a price paid. F-iret a price of sacrifice. When prophet Jonah pro-, claimed that short mes- age.
