Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Buy a used car to look after your business with and keep the car for pleasure. It should save you money. Arrests are now being made in various cities of those who drive their cars without the 1938 tags. If you take the chance, don’t com- ' plain about the results. — - - You can get used Cars now that - have only a few thousand miles on them and will be more profitable to own and to operate be-1 cause of the lesser investment. Think it over. If your car is unsafe, take ad-, vantage of the Used Car Sale now on every where and get one that will take it's place. You can't afford to drive an old car when you can get one of these good ones so easily. Colonel Edward M. House for many years one of the outstanding characters of America, friend of Woodrow Wilson, with great . power under his administration and since considered one of the j world’s greatest diplomats, is crit- j ically ill in New York City. His ; advice has always been excellent.! More than five hundred students ' of the Elwood high school went on . strike because they couldn't get i tickets to the district tournament : to be held at Anderson, indicating I to what extent enthusiasm goes in this fascinating sport. The strike was finally settled when some additional seats were reserved and they had the opportunity to buy them. - The lime for renewing mail subscriptions is drawing to a close because our anginal report to the J government must be made as of j April Ist. Please look after this. I You want the paper this year | when there are so many things happening. We are trying to make it more interesting all the time and we appreciate the fact that so many are helping us. Adams Post, 43, American Legion, announces plans to sponsor a huge display of fireworks here the night of July 4th, so the boys and girls and mother and dad, may anticipate a big time. The display this year is to be the lies’ yet given and arrangements to present the display from the Homewood addition in the northwest part of the city, have been completed. The annual report of the welfare board of Adams county, Mrs. Faye Smith-Knapp, director, is interesting and worth your careful attention. It is complete and shows the progress made along this line, as well as disclosing the cost of the work and showing exactly how and where the money was spent. It includes a report of old age' assistance, crippled and dependent children, probation and parole data.
I While the visit of Governor i Townsend here today is unofficial, | the cltixens of the county are ' happy and proud to have him and ■ promise him good treatment in j every way. The chief executive loves to drop his office cares occas- | lonally, go out into the country ; and look at live stock and talk 1 farms and farming. He is the guest ! today of Police Commissioner WilI liam Bell and is being well enterI tallied. — Democrats in all of Marion conn--1 ty cast 124,000 votes in the last election. Up-to-date petitions supporting the nomination of Reginald Sullivan for mayor contain more than 108,000 signers and when all are in it is expected will carry 120.000 names. Not much use to run against that fellow. Sullivan is a Democrat who served four years as mayor and who is so popular that just about every body is for him. Read the Lenten Meditations. • to be written by the pastors of I various Decatur churches and published in the paper during the enI tire season. You are sure to gain from doing this for each will contain a thought in which you have I interest. This is the season of i the year when the mind of any person interested in life, now and hereafter, turns to thoughts of I those historical and Holy events 1 which culminate in the observai tion of Easter Sunday. The public will like the sound I and apparently fair statement of ! Bernard Baruch who thinks that j business "hasn't cleaned its own ' stables" because they don't want any change, but who also thinks the government should encourage those who wish to engage in clean ’ and wholesome business in away I that will aid industry and re-eiu- ' ploy labor. Unquestionably there is much in his statement that deserves the deepest thought of those in control of public affairs. Men are funny animals after all. A crowd of them blast and dug ten days uear Dubuque. lowa, to : rescue a fox-terrier dog who hud followed a fox 25 feet into a crevI ice and couldn't get out and stuck ! to the job until they rescued the ! canine. Sounds like a big hearted ! people, as we are, but the papers i are filled with news of murders, I kidnapings and war, in which we ■ take lives instead ot save them. (Guess it takes it all to complete I the story of this rapidly moving | generation. Dr. Glen Franks and his committee will find it so much easier to write plans for operating the country and making every thing just perfect than it is to make i those plans work. It will be nearly three years before they can elect a president and of course I they can't get far until they do | that, and by that time they will 1 probably have'to rewrite their enI tire program to comply with the change in times and conditions. About all they hope to do in the coming campaign is to stir up as much trouble as they can for the Democrats. Be sure to know whether you are properly registered so you can vote in the primary and general election this year. That should be done during the next month. If you have moved, changed your name or if the boundary of your precinct has been changed as in several cases in this city, you must register again, so that your card is at the proper place and in the right name. Also if you failed to vote in the last election, you should check to see that you are listed. After all it's your job to see that you are qualified for the great privilege of voting. National Used Car Exchange Week, March sth to 12th, is being extensively advertised, a group of five of the large manufacturers joining in this effort to move the goods which has largely blocked the sale of new cars, made it im-
