The old Lion has only a few days to get mad and leave us in a flurry. The most popular man in town: A basketball coach whose team has Just won the state championship. You have until April 2 to file your declarations of candidacy with the county clerk. If you want your name on the ballot, you'll have to look after this duty. Then for the wind-up of the campaign. How about your registration? Have you moved, changed preciucU. or are you a first voter? Either one of the three must qualify in order to vote. Better look after it this wees if you want to vote in the primary. How about the spring clean up campaign? lt*S not too early to make plans for one of the most effective drives against dirt, rubbish aucf^ eye-sores, sticking here and there around town. The city will again furnish the labor and trucks necessary to gather up the rubbish and haul it away. With several civic groups and service organizations cooperating in the plan and bringing to public attention. the places where the cleanup should be made, a clean sweep can be made. Work together on the proposition and talk cleanup of alleys, vacant lots and others places littered with the winters accumulation of debris. The WPA projects are designed to furnish employment to those who otherwise would be without work. In most cases men want to work. They do not want charity, but the opportunity to earn a living or some means of support. The WPA is also beneficial to the community and the individual property owner. Improvements such as sidewalk and alley construction can be made at about one-half the cost, since the labor charge is eliminated. Under the old Barret law of procedure, the entire cost of the improvement was assessed against the property. Now all the property “owner need do is to pay for the material and the labor is furnished. With all the alarms and disturbances of the world, bombs dropping, dictators expanding their power, the great problem for America is to achieve harmony and understanding within our own borders. Justice and economic balance, with fair wages, fair prices, opportunity for both farmer and laboring man. form the basis for sound advancement in this country. Business and enterprise will advance when the fears of group jealousies give way to faith and courage. The greatest contribution America can make to the world is to solve the inequalities of our internal rela tionships. showing how great and how happy a nation can be with a square deal policy.—Prairie Farmer.

Fort Wayne was like one big family in celebrating the state basketball championship which came to that city as a result of the superb playing of the South Side Archers. The whole town celebrated, joined by hundreds of others from nearby points in northern Indiana, happy that the state r. - , cup came to this part of the state. The Archers are undisputed 2 champions, a victory they have 0 been striving for with might and 0 main. The team is one of the ? finest ever produced in the state 0 and Coach Friddle is receiving his 5 share of the credit for the big vic- ® tory. After all it is these com-' muuity events which make America. It is far better to celebrate a I basketball victory, than have I armies march over territory and I pose as conquerors. The windshield title holder was ; devised to give law-enforcement of- j fleers immediate information on ■ auto ownership. In the past, with I' closed and locked cars, police of- j ’ fleers had to consult state records , , to get the owner's name. This i was a slow process, and in case of emergencies, valuable time was lost. That the much maligned I windshield "gadget’' is fulfilling the ' 1 purpose for which it was created | ■ is seen in what happened in Bartholomew county recently. A , stranger attempted to cash a check | lat Waymansville under an assuinled name. Suspicion was aroused I because the name on the check did not correspond to the name on ' his title card of his windshield | Investigation led to his arrest for peddling eye glasses without proper license, so the "gadget” deserves some credit. • - In the fiscal year ending in 1933. | the state conservation department • released only 437 quail. In the fiscal year ending in 1937. 32,418. quail were liberated. The pheas-: t ants in 1933 were 4,700 compared } to 16.100 in 1937. And something ■ L never done before — 77.500 pheasant and quail eggs were sent to ; , conservation clubs and individuals . last year. And something else I never done by the conservation de- \ , partment, 5,047 rabbits and 330' ( i raccoons were released in 1937. | , This spring 504 more raccoons were l , freed for enjoyment of coon hunt-I ers. And again something never done before — 344,900 fingerling ( trout were released in northern ! I Indiana streams last year. For ( j the enjoyment of the game fish i . I fishermen, 46.613,000 game fish j were planted in lakes and streams last year. Those are only a fewhighlights of what the present con-, I servation department is doing. 3 This program costs money, and as t the fish and game division oper- ) ates solely from revenue raised | by sale of hunting and fishing - licenses, sportsmen get just what > they pay for. A good sport will - call it a wise investment. ,| |BS> BOOKS FOR PRISONS: t Hoosiers should contribute cheerfully any spare books to assure the success of Prison Library week, . which opened yesterday. The , state's welfare authorities hope , that the supply of reading matter f at the various penal institutions , may be sufficient to occupy the idle hours of criminals. Any type 1 —with the exception of crime tales I —is desired to satisfy a variety of - tastes. Some of those serving time ■ are interested in technical books, 1 - others in history, travel or fiction, i Supplying books to prisoners is •- not coddling. It may be the means ;. oT rehabilitating many. The most j important service is the improves ment of morale. Officials have i, been confronted with a serious >- problem in efforts to keep the men s busy, due to legislation which closn ed a number of industrial activties. e Idleness breeds mischief and crime, e Stern punishment should be imn posed and discipline maintained, e j The state commits a grave injusi- tice. however, if it condemns men d to long periods of idleness behind a prison walls. i- Persons have been asked to leave any available books at coun-

W. M. McUAIN Take, for instance, Mr. W. M. McLain, widely known automobile dealer, 1303 S. Walnut St., Muncie: “I had not had a good nights sleep in two years before I started taking Retonga." declared Mr. McLain. “My tomach gave me so much trouble, and I had such severe pains in my arms and legs. I couldn't get entirely comfortable either day or night. I felt weak and exhausted, and a day seldom passed that 1 didn’t have to dose with purgatives. "I tried a lot of medicines but Retonga is the first one that seemed to be what I needed. I eat anything I want, now without a bit of trouble; that nervous, exhausted feeing has disappeared, and I enjoy the finest sleep I have had in years. I haven't an ache or pain left and feel fine. Retonga is the finest value in a medicine I ever saw.” Get a bottle of Retopga today and see how quickly you begin to feel better aud stronger. Retouga may be obtained at Houthouse Drug Store. adv.
