Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Boost Decatur, be a good citizen, aid those who are honestly and | earnestly trying to make this a bet-1 ter city for every one. It s your j town and you have a right to be i proud of it., Merchants here are showing i Easter wearing apparel and many j are ordering now. Don't wait un-' til the last minute to get your, spring duds. Now is the best time you will find. We notice an occasional car with the 1937 license tags on and wonder why any one would be so foolish as to thus invite arrest. The cost will be more than the new plates, to say nothing of some inconveniences. You will like the new street markers which are to be put up at every corner in town. They are attractive, convenient in finding addresses and will give a metropolitan appearance to this excellent city. A fifteen year-old-boy who escaped from a detention home in Indianapolis admits that during the two weeks he was out he stole nine automobiles, robbed a truck station and a drug store and stole a revolver. Now there’s a young fellow with a good start towards Michigan City. — Hungary wants to pay her war | debt without interest but congress I doesn't warm up to the propostion much, leaders declaring it a bad precedent. Most folks have been led to believe that if we could get ' the original investments back, it i would be a right precedent. That j ought to help some. Every one who reads the Lenten Meditations now being published' in this paper and prepared by the | various pastors of the city find in | them thoughts that will aid in ’ clearing the mind and helping them to live. It should prove a wonderful help in preparing the people of this community sty the Easter season. The courts may be a little slow but they finally catch up with a fellow. The supreme court of the United States has ruled that Charles E. Mitchell, former chairman of the National City bank of New York must pay the government s3<ii,4si for alleged fraud with intent to evade his 1929 income taxes. Mitchell fought it through all the courts. t We are not advocating the passage of the bill now in congress to establish a national lottery to be known as voluntary taxes, but we insist there is something in it that should have serious consideration. It would undoubtedly go a long ways towards solving the ever increasing problem of how to raise money enough to operate the government and all its branches. It’s tunny, but we Americans would lose a ten-dollar bill and smile but

kick our heads off when we have 1 to pay Uncle Sam for the privilege I of living in the best country in the ’ world. Phil Sauers, representing the, board of county commissioners, is j assisting in taking right-of-ways ■ for farm to market roads in this' county, to be Improved by federal and state money and later taken I over by the state and maintained. It’s a chance to add nearly thirty i miles of Adams county roads to | the state system, save up-keep for ■ this county and provide better highways. Every farm owner along the routes should cooperate with I these men who are striving to help I them and of course in doing that ! help every taxpayer and every car driver. The Berne postoffice is now io- j cated in the handsome and modern new federal building, the change j from the quarters in the Witness block being made without any inconvenience to the public. Mrs. Zehr as postmaster, superintend-, ed the moving job and in this as in all her work did the job in a manner that pleased the public. The new building will be dedicat-| ed April 9th with a program fitt- , ing the occasion. Thurman Gott-| schalk, head of the State Welfare Board and former Berne citizen will be in charge and the princi- ’ pal address will be made by Congressman James I. Farley. The Berne office did a business of more than $25,000 last year. i Paraphrasing late Vice-President Marshall’s statement that "what this country needs most is a good , five cent cigar.’ Governor Town-! send is telling his audiences that what he thinks Indiana needs most i is bigger halls for holding Demo- j cratic meetings. To date the Governor has spoken at nine or ten Democratic banquets and in every ! instance there has been an overflow crowd. The big turnouts in- 1 dicate the popularity of the Governor, for one thing, and they are conclusive proof that the Democratic party is a live, wideawake and going political organization, i The concentrated drive of the G. ! O. P. state organization to arouse enthusiasm through Lincoln Day speeches fell far below expectations. Behind Omer S. Jackson, I Democratic stale chairman, is ax’, army of red-blooded workers who foresee another sweeping Deinocratic victory in 1938. i BUY A USED CAR: Edsel Ford and K. T. Keller,; opening the campaign to stimulate interest in used cars made sen- ' sible and inspirational talks. Speak- | ing of the event, the Automotive I News says: ii | "There were no bombastic appeals to patriotism, no pleading for , assistance and no optimistic prom-1 ises of opulence to come. Both j speakers pointed to the simple facts that when sales halt, proI duetioh stops and unemployment; | starts; that a revival of buying now is our best assurance against further decline; that buying in the used car market today, needs no justification on the grounds of patriotism since the values offerI I ed are so tangible and the prob-' abilities of personal gain so great, j that common sense and thrift 1 should dictate immediate purchasing. "We have maintained and still maintain that the present decline ■ in sales is not due to a buyers': strike or inability on the part of buyers to buy, but rather to a hesitancy on the part of buyers because of a feeling of uncertainty , regarding the future. We feel; this reaffirmation of faith on the, part of the industry, which is back-1 ed by a $1,250,000 advertising ex-1 penditure this week, should do much to dispel these fears. "On the other hand, we are not j kidding ourselves that this indus- , try, or any other, can wave a magic wand and cure all ills. The present campaign can stimulate i interest iu used car ownership. It i, can bring prospects to the dealers' |
