The annual peony show at Van Wert Wednesday will attract a great throng for they really give a show. Besides the flower show there will be a parade with fifty bands and fifty floats. Dizzy Dean probably has discovered, though he has something on the ball that few pitchers have,} he can't run the whole show. Suspended until he squared matters with President Frick he came through and promised to be good. A good time is in store for every one next week end when the fire men's convention and the Boy Scout Camporee will both be held here. If you don't enjoy it, it will 1 be cause you don't get into the I spirit of these events and have ■ your share of the fun. A race driver who was standing on the tracks at the speedway in Indianapolis the other day was injured when another car smashed into him and has sued the association for SIOO,OOO. It's too bad he got hurt but we had an idea that moxt of the fellows who work at that game realized they were taking some chances. A run out into the country these' days will convince you that the farmer is about the busiest individual in the country and that he is not losing any time talking about which organization ho should join to control hours or wages. He ( is putting in every minute the I weather will permit and taking his chances on the returns at harvest time. Wally and Eddy are enjoying a honeymoon in Austria and refuse to be interviewed for which few will blame or criticize them. Even the bride's two former husbauids decline to express themselves on the affair which has attracted more attention than a world series. It's good news now and it will be good for feature stories for several hundred years. Max and Jack McCrory, local boys who have completed the course of study at the Masonic school in Franklin, Indiana, were honor guests at a banquet and party given at the Masonic rooms here last evening. They are upstanding fine lads and every ope who met them again last night will i aid them in going forward and making their mark in the world.

State highway 27 from u point , 500 feet south of the intersection of that road with 124, just west of Monroe, into this city will have a ! 100-foot right-of-way, an entrance : into this city that will be helpful to traffic and will be an excellent approach to this county seat and I busy little city. It will be im- , proved from time to time but the } important thing is that eventually . it will be a trippie or tour lane | highway. Do you know that no one ever ] won ail argument? You may think ; you have and perhaps you can ■ ! even prove you were right by facts ! and figures but the mind of the . other fellow doesn't mellow and in i I fact he usually becomes more stub-I born because he doesn't relish be-1 j ing shown up as an ignoramus. After all the average for all of us ' I is that we are only fifty per cent I I right. Why not admit the other I 1 fellow's position occasionally? The International Harvester Company is locating a four mil-1 ■ lion dollar plant at Indianapolis j ! and the president of that company 1 in a speech to the Chamber of 1 Commerce there this week stated that the decision to locate there i was definitely made after Gover- j nor Townsend's action in settie-! ment of strikes at Anderson and in other places in Indiana. They ' I like Hoosier government, people ' and conditions and that s good for 1 any state. ! * i This is an important day for the workers of the local General Electric plant and for this community, marking the dedication of the new , . recreational building, complete in every detail and presented by this great company that those who work there may be happier and I more comfortable. Many happy l hours are in store for this family !of employes who devote their thought and their skill to helping ! 1 one of America's greatest indus-* } tries progress. The program this afternoon will be short but im- j pressive. Heartiest congratulations to the fifteen boys and girls who last evening graduated from St. Joseph ; high school and the forty who completed their grade work. The school has become recognized as one of the good ones and a diploma ' means much as a recommendation ' for those who have completed the course, that they are well fitted to meet the tasks ahead, whether■ that be in business, home life or college. The address by the Hon. I Floyd I. McMurray, state superintendent of public instructions, was I one that we are sure impressed not only the class but all the listeners, inspiring them to do better | I things and to continue to grow by learning. Hundreds of teachers may re- } ceive additional protection of their } positions under the tenure law 1 through a decision of the Indiana Supreme Court. The opinion the tribunal handed down concerns that status of teachers in consolidated schools. The original tenure law was amended to exclude township teachers, but did not define directly the contractual rights of those in consolidated schools. 1 A Daviess county teacher contended that as he was employed in ; this type of school, serving more 1 than one township, his tenure protection could not be jeopardized by a legislative act which permitted ■ discharge at the pleasure of any single township trustee. The claim was sustained by the lower court > arid confirmed by the Supremo ■ Court. The latter’s ruling asserted that ‘‘a consolidated school is clearly not a township school, as recognized by law.'’ When schools of rwo or more townships have been consolidated, particularly if an incorporated town is included, : such consolidated schools partake !of the character of city schools, according to the court's ruling.— Indianapolis Star. 0 Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

MASS MEETINGS OF TAXPAYERS Every County To Hold Meetings To Explain New Tax Law Indianapolis, Ind., June 5- 4U.R> - Mass meetings of taxpayers will be held in every county in the state from June 4 to June 25 under the auspices of the Indiana Farm Bureatf and the Indiana Tax-1 ■payer's association, those organiz-l ation have announced. The purpose of the meeting will be to explain the new tax limitation law passed by the last session of the legislature. Taxpayers will be urged to take an active inter-' est in the preparation of budgets for all local units of government, to attend budget hearings and perfect appeals to the state tax board if proposed expenditures appear to ' be too high. The counties have been divided into groups, and each group will have a special speaker. Among those who already have agreed to address the mass meetings are H. E. Schenck, president of the state farm bureau; L. L. Needier, chairman of the farm bureau's tax committee; Larry Brandon, farm bureau secretary; Newton "Fullenwider, farm bureau organizer; Addison Drake, farm bureau district chairman; Harry Miesse, executive secretary of the taxpayers association; Walter T. Horn and W. T. Mints of the association's research division; Will Price, president of the Cass county taxpayers association; and six field secretaries of the association. | In announcing the meetings Miesse said: "Unless the public becomes thor- | onghly aroused and shows an acI tive interest in next year’s taxes they will be considerably higher. We now have a stronger tax limi--1 tation law than we had in the past 1 but it will be useless unless we ■ | take advantage of its provisions. “We are working with the farm bureau to persuade the men and women of Indiana that they have: the power to enforce economy in I the conduct of public affairs if they will use it. Oue purpose in holding these mass meetings in every county in the state is to acquaint the citizens with the new: law, persuade them to watch all budgets, attend hearings and then protest with the machinery the ‘ laws gives them if they are con-} vinced that waste and extravag-l ance is threatened. "Many communities cut the tax rates that are in force this year • and additional cuts can be made next year if we all work together for a reduction in needless expenditures.” Woman, 80, Wed Third Time ROM BEY, Alta (U.P.) — Mrs. John Sandberg, 80, twice widowed i and grandmother of 31 children and great grandmother of six, has i just been married here for the third time.
