Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. Have you joined the Chamber of Commerce? The membership committee would like to wind up the campaign this week and if they give their time to solicit your membership, you should be glad to join. If you have something on your mind and wish to give it expression or have a suggestion for the good of the community, attend the annual C. of C. banquet, March 31, and get up and say your part. It's advancing ideas and suggestions that help bring about public improvements and public benefits. The Young Dtmocrats — and there are many—will attend the state convention of the Democratic Club in Terre Haute next month. It will be a peppy meeting, not alone filled with Democratic ideas and ideals, but offering a force which will have its effect in politics and political organization. It promises to be an interesting gathering and we bet the young folk give a good account of themselves. Adams county will send 16 delegates. Little Lithuania bowed to the demands of Poland and thus a possible war has been averted. The world war started on less grounds and after all what did any of the countries get out of it. War j does not settle anything permanently. History shows that the signing of every treaty, is the beginning of another terrible conflict. Polands action probably postponed another war. which many of the larger countries would have jumped in later. If you don't believe that general conditions and tax matters are in good shape in Adkins county, take a look at the delinquent tax list. Only 54 descriptions are listed in the annual notice and a majority of the pieces offered for sale are vacant lots scattered here and there, which the owners, in many eases, do not care to continue to pay taxes on. It is one of the best ' showings in the state and a true evidence that most people in this cdhnty believe in paying their taxes and that the levies are within the bounds of payment. This county, although regretting I to see Earl Crawford resign as chairman of the Indiana State Highway Commission, is happy to see Cliff Siniff. promoted to a place on the commission. Mr. Crawford 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.

Is one of the best trained public | servants in the state. He has been ' an honest and efficient worker. He 1 has filled many important duties ■ and each one with credit. Cliff Siniff is our neighbor from Fort Wayne, knows Adams county and 1 its roads and this part of the state is happy to see him elevated to! the commission. He has earned I the appointment and is one of the state's foremost road authorities. Plans are underway for a very interesting meeting to be held in Decatur, April 26, at which Hon. I Thurman A. Gottschalk, state di rector of Public Welfare, will de I liver the principal address. The meeting is sponsored by the Adams County Federation of Clubs and invitations have been issued to; the civic and social organizations. ; making it a community gathering i of importance and interest. The Department of Public Welfare is j one of the newest units of govern-, meat in the state. Each eornmun- [ ity has its welfare problems and each county has a department for the administering of the program. I Director Gottschalk will bring firsthand information from the state office and his visit here will not only be a pleasant occasion for his friends, but informative on one j of the subjects of great interest i to all the people. NO DICTATOR IN THIS COUNTRY: When Administration critics in and out of Congress run out of ’ grievances against the White House they always come back to the solemn charge that the President is seeking to assume dictator-. ial powers. Just how dictatorial the Chief Executive is able to be was recently illustrated by the con- - , ference he had with the three comI tnissioners of the Tennessee Vai-, ley Authority. The President had all three of * them in, two of them declaringl that their chairman would not co-! operate in any way and that, there- i fore. aIT manner of things that ought to be done were not being done. The chairman of the board, 1 in response, accused his two fel-j f low commissioners of lack of integrity and other similes which i suggested turpitude, but flatly re-' fused to disclose wherein this iniquity had been exhibited or what | especial iniquitous act he had in mind. Up to date, the dictators we read about perform their functions with j I perfect secrecy until the time for action in their estimation has come. For example, nobody heard of the conquest of Austria by Herr; Hitler until the Fuehrer's soldiers' were at the border if not actually marching into Austria. Similarly. ; Signor Mussolini failed to advise j the world in advance of his con quest of Abyssinia. 0 | Modern Etiquette | By ROBERTA LEE Q. Isn't it rude for a hostess to , specify in an invitation for a visit, a definite length of time the guest is expected to clay? A. No. it is not rude. It is customary for a hostess to do so, that there may be no misunderstandings. Q. When a man is taking a girl to dine in some public place, thouldnot he draw back her chair for her? A. This is the waiter's duty. Her ; escort may do so if no waiter Is present. Q. Should a person attend any i public affair, party, letcure, or theater, while suffering from a bad cold? A. Never. 'lt is very inconsiderate ' to do so. o TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File t March 21 — Germany breaks ! through British lines at St. Quentin. , By a vote of 367 to 2, congress I passes bill to furnish financial as-! eistance for American industries ! necessary for war work. “Shucks” Schumacher sends I money order to buy Liberty Loan bonds.

[aged slayer IS EXECUTED Former Policeman Is Put To Death in Electric Chair Bellefonte. Pa., Mar 21. -<U,R> Marini J Sullivan. 72 years old, father of 12 children and grandfather of 23. was put to death in the electric chair of Rockview penitentiary early today. He entered the execution chain her on steady legs, hie bald head gleaming, following Father F. P. McCreesh. who had helped him prepare to die. He said no word except to give the responses to the priest's prayers, and he relaxed as the electrodes were at-: tached. as though he had no ob jection. Sullivan was a policeman of Du quesne, a suburb of Pittsburgh ; Persons who had known him for- - said he had always been ex | ceedingly vain. As age crept up on him and began leaving its marks. Sullivan took certain remedical measures. First he began wearing a tcrapee. Later he took to rouging his cheeks, and in his last years of freedom he used lipstick. School children called him the I “funny corner policeman” and guyed him at every opportunity. It made him angry for anyone to so much as notice that he was an I old man pretending to be young. | In the spring ol 1536, the par enls and relatives of Antoinette Vukelja, 12. charged that he had made a sexual attaint on her and had him arrested. The night of Dec. 17, 1936, Sullivan took his service revolver and went hunting for witnesses who had testified against him. He killed Mrs Mary Vukelja, Antoinette's mother; Milan, her brother, Mrs. Laura Bacon, a social worker, and Joeph Benda and his wife. Helen parents of an 18-year-old girl who kept house for him a few months before the slayings. He tried to kill Joseph Vifkalja. Antoinette's father, but he recovered. Taken to jail, Sullivan shouted. “I'm satisfied, even if 1 did miss , one.” That night, police saved 1 him from a mob. ♦ « I | Household Scrapbook By Roberta Lee ♦ ♦ Stiffening Dimity A good stiffener for dimity can be ' made by dissolving two ounces of j gum arable in a pint of hot water. .

WARM WEATHER GREETS SPRING Spring Officially Opens This Morning With Fine Weather Indianapolis. March 21 — (U.PJ — Spring returned officially to Indiana at 12:43 o’clock this morning. I A few hours later the sun peeked above the horizon into a cloud- [ less sky. the temperature began to rise and the season was opened > with one of those days poets often | write about. To most Hoosiers, however. ; spring stole a day and arrived yesterday morning even though the . weather bureau said that technically this was not true. Taking advantage of the warm, i fragrant Sunday-most beautiful of I the year—thousands of Hoosier citizens spent the day motoring, walking, golfing, horseback riding and in many other forms of out-1 doors amusement. The temperature struck a new • high for 1938 — 68 degrees at 4 o’clock. The previous high was 67 i on Feb. 13. With Easter still four weeks dis- 1 tant, many citizens were unable to I resist the opportunity for a dress rehearsal of spring garments Young men appeared upon the streets sans topcoats and hats while the girls paraded in flimsy spring dresses which most likely bad been carefully laid away from I last summer. City golf courses were invaded by hordes of linksmen unable to I wait for the formal opening scheduled for the middle of next month, ! On many a college campus, stud- • ies were forgotten in a wave of! "spring fever” as students paired , off-in groups of two and tour. Birds chirping merrily announced , the advent of spring. Ice cream parlors did a land office business.; The grass became greener, over-1 night. Thousands of persons visited . various state parks, according to Mark G. Waggeuer of the state conservation department. Camp facilir ties at Dunes, Clifty Falls, McCor-i
