Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. It s a dog’s life alright, when the pet is led to believe that someone | has been kind enough to put out I a choice morsel of meat, loaded with poison. Don't worry about the stock i market. It always adjusts itself i and where there are bargains, the I wise buyer will snatch them up aud be ready for the up turn. Poor old Barcelona. It's difficult to believe that while we are enjoying such beautiful spring days, in other parts of the world bombs aud bullets destroy life and property and leave a horrible picture. The deadline for registering or correcting your registration card at the county ylerk’s office has been extended to Monday. The clerk's office is open evenings to accommodate those who can't call during the day. If you wish to vote, you must be registered. Decatur is the greatest town on earth. Everything is running along in good shape. A spirit of harmony I prevails and you 11 find only a small minority who are not ready and willing to sing its praises. Keep the good work going and help make it a better place in which to live. Secretary of State Hull believes in making Mexico come to time in making compensation to Americans for oil properties and farms expropriated by the government. He has informed the country that they must pay and pay in cash. His stand has the hearty approval j of the country. Property taxes payable in De- < calur this year u.e less than a year ago. The payment of the spring installment, which is due on or before May 2. has already 1 started and the savings in the bill | are appreciated by the taxpayers. j In Decatur the total levy is only $2,46 on the SIOO. of which 40 cents goes to the civil city. The law which requires owners to display the certificate of title on the windshield of their auto will stand, unless the legislature amends or repeals the act. Three federal judges have upheld the validity of the law. pointing to its merits and the fact that legislature has power to change it. Most of us like to have something to growl about and the pasting of the cejjiod holder on the windshield safflned a good thing to pick on. If the law proves no good, the next general assembly will no' doubt tie notified of the fact and amend it. The federal government has earmarked $1,500,000 for Fort Wayne to be used by the Housing Authority in the construction of low rent houses. A few months ago similar action was taken by the government in setting aside $50,000 for Decatur. The local Housing Authority has been investigat-

ing the government plan and data ha# been obtained on the construction of the houses. The building of small cost houses for families , of moderate income will be one of the objectives this year in stimut lating employment and at the same time till the need for houses of t this class. t Samuel D. Jackson made a spleli-, did speech at Geneva the other I ‘j evening before the members and i II guests of the Democratic Women's : • club. Mr. Jackson is not only an ’ Interesting and able speaker, but j 1 ; a student of government aud pub-1 * lie affairs. He stressed the good | that has come to the country i through the five years leadership of President Roosevelt, the saving of homes and farms, the consideration given tlie laboring man, the I refinancing of the banks and the desire to make America a better I place iu which to live. Mr. Jackson paid tribute to the state ad-i ministration and mentioned several 1 of the outstanding achievements. 'of the McNutt and Townsend ad-1 ministrations. His talk was enjoyed by the crowd, so large that J ; it had to adjourn from the church I basement to the new Geneva school ■ building, which in itself was con-' crete evidence of the help extend- j ed by the government through financing part of the cost. The pastors of the different' j.churches are making plans for ( Holy Week services aud appro- I priate programs are being* arrang j ed. As has been the custom here | for a number of years, the Three Hours, commemorating Christ's suffering and death on the cross, j will be observed in church aud with a general curtailment of bus-1 iness activity from 12 to three I o'clock on Good Friday. A union service will be held at the Metho-1 dist church, while during the same period the Three Hours will be' observed in St. Mary's church Mankind owes its salvation to the ' Redeemer and we cannot hope to mdrit the award which awaits us in the Heavenly kingdom unless we prove worthy of the sacrifice j made. Holy week has its special | spirifual meaning, marked by the | suffering and death of the Son of God and the joy of Easter Sunday is all the more appreciated when in a spirit of humility and rerer-| ance we bow before the Cross of Calvary on the anniversary of the < crucifixion. Modern street pavements, new j buildings and extended residential i districts have created a condition j in many cities which over-taxes' the existing sewer systems. In the heavy rains the water is rush- j I 1 ed in a few minutes to the catch j basins and regardless of the planning aud forethought used in de-' • signing the systems the facilities j are not adequate to care for the ; downpours. Indianapolis, For t j Wayne and other cities have had I their troubles with sewers and 1 ! miniature floods this week. Many | basements were 'flooded and in j some cases important streets were j inundated. The same condition ex- j ists to some extent in Decatur, where the sanitary sewers also I carry the surface water. The sewers were built before the day of paved streets and when the town was about half its present size. The roof space in the uptown district is about double to that of 30 years ago. A remedy must i i be found and in all probability the I construction of storm sewers or' trunk lines to carry the water away must be included in any plan made for the future development of the town. o ' Judge Curtis Will Seek Re-Nomination j Indianapolis. Apr. 1.--<<LLR>— Judge I Harvey J. Curtis announced today | he will seek re-nomination to thel Indiana appellate court in the ; Democratic state convention next June. He is serving his second term i on the appellate court, having been elected first in 1331. His uome ial Gary. o I Fotos 10c. 240 W. Madison?
