Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. It’s the flood season and if the rains come too frequently and too heavy, there is sure to be severe damage and a lot of trouble of one kind and another. Os! for another week. It will be successful for those who help to make it so for themselves. Don’t trust every thing to luck. Go out and do your job well. Be sure to read the “Lenten .Meditations’’ running each day in this paper. These are prepared by the various pastors of the city and each contains a thought that will profit you if you study it. The old thermometer is bouncing armind these days with changes of about forty degrees from day to day but the old Adams county residents are not surprised at that for they know they may expect any thing in the weather line in March. Whether you live in Decatur or in any other part of the county you may now pay your spring installment of taxes. Duplicates for the city have just been completed and the county treasurer’s force are ready for those who like to get this semi annual duty out of their systems. Adams county is amoung the first thirty counties in Indiana or electrified farm residences, as j shown by the assessor reports. With 2,150 farms in the county, 625 have electricity, a percentage of 29.5 as compared to 20.9 for the state. That's an excellent showing of progress. With the first brush for the state basketball championship over, the fans will now settle down to the exciting pastime of picking the final winners. As the various tournaments are held, one team after the other goes to the dressing rooms for the season, while the winners battle on until but two teams are left. It provides a thrill that equals the world series in baseball. With a candidate for the Democratic state ticket from the county this year. Judge DeVoss, who will seek the nomination for Appellate Judge, it is to be hoped that a friendly delegation will represent the county in the state convention. This county has never had a condidate for that office, though two former Adams county men. Judge James J. Moran of Jay county and Judge Richard K. Erwin held places on that bench and the supreme court. At a meeting of the Columbia Club in Indianapolis recently, it was reported that one of the most aristocratic and distinguished members offered a toast to President Franklin Roosevelt in these words quoted from the Sullivan (Indiana) Democrat: "To the White House dictator, may he have lots of luck and all of it bad.’’ We can’t believe any citizen of the

state worthy of a place in any club would use such language even in jest and the great trouble it that this guy probably meant just )t what ho said. From England conies word that a new 65-card deck is now being t used In fashionable circles for i bridge and poker and there is some chance of the new pack being given a trial over here. It » ‘ contains five suits instead of four, ) i Royals being added to spades, ’ clubs, hearts and diamonds. It ? i may prove popular here since the ) old poker players are now indulgI ing in high-low, splt-in-the- ocen and other wild stunts, but it s our guess that this is one line in which the most will stick to the old "horse and buggy” idea of what constitutes a genuine deck of playing cards. The talk of Roy Hall, president of the Central Sugar Company to the Decatur Rotary club contains much value for those who believe 1 in the best citizenship. It is important that any community of 6,090 have industries, good ones that help to build, and we have have them. Mr. Hall points out that the primary relations should include a business like and honest political administration, suitability as to location, available labor, good churches and schools and a proper community spirit. Decatur has them and there is no reason why we should not go on to greater things that make for a happier and more prosperous life. The Berne Witness is “panning" Congressman Farley because he did not favor the Ludlow measure to change the constitution of the United States so that a vote would be necessary before war could be declared. Fifty five members of congress who signed the petition to discharge the judiciary committee and force a vote on the resolution, due to the fact that in the meantime some important and far reaching negotiations with eastern and European nations were in progress and to have adoetpd the Ludlow proposal would have placed the state department in a very embarrassing position. It is the opinion of many of the best thinkers in America, most of them in favor of peace, that such a regulation would endanger our position in the world and make the United States the victim of numerous impositions. It’s a big prob- | lem and one that should not be bandied around in politics. Our Government after 150 years finds itself cumbered with a thousand growths that overlap and complicate its functions. The President suggests a reorganize- ■ lion. or rearrangement, of bureaus , and departments, such as every big business finds necessary as con- • ditions change. Every recent President has called attention to i to cumbrousness and confusion in our governmental structure and made an effort to correct these faults. There are difficulties, due to the tenacity of individual departments and the insistence of important men, in and out of Congress, that their constituents in office be not disturbed, but the necessity of. modernizing the government has never been disputed. What is the result? The critics charge President Roosevelt with striving for greater powers: with a selfish and subversive desire to destroy safeguards and break down time-honored habits. AU he is trying to do is to make a clumsy machine work more smoothly and 1 efficiently. It happens that the President of the United States is weighted with a responsibility of appointments an d commissions. ‘ He alone is in a position to know the flaws in every branch of the Government. He has submitted a ' plan to Congress, which Congress will pass, reject or modify. If the plan develops weaknesses, perils 1 or injustices, this or any subsequent Congress can repeal it or change it.—By Charles Michelson. . o Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into a tall glass; then pour iu the dose of castor oil. Add a pinch of ground ginger, then the juice front the rest of the lemon. Now add 1/4-teaspoon bicarbonate of soda and stir briskly. This solution will foam like soda water, breaking the oil into tiny granules, so small that they cannot be noticed. Drink while it is effervesing. New Frying Pan !

The caller should always do this, and immediately after transacting his business. The business caller who lingers to talk baseball, vacation experiences, and such sub- , jects, is usually a bore. He is at ! least inconsiderate. Q. te it proper to call a man by ' his title, without adding his name, | as “Doctor,” “Judge.” “Professor”? A. It is preferable to include his | name. “Doctor Morgan,” “Judg ; ( Brown”, "Professor Lee.’ Q. When a toast is proposed to a peraon, does this person drink from his glass? A. No; he does not rise from his I chair nor drink the toast.
