Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. How are you coming along with your Easter outfit? The spring colors and models are classy and if you plan on joining the parade, drop into the stores and look things over. Four weeks from tonight the counting of votes will be underway. The strain will be over for! the candidates and another pri- | many will have passed into history. In the meantime the candidates are selling themselves to the voters. L Approval of the local NYA work project for boys is expected in a short time and as soon as the new street marking signs are received from the state, work will start on their erection. Every street corner in town will be marked with the modern signs, which give the name of the streets and block numbers. An Indianapolis man shot his divorced wife and then threw himself in front of a passenger train. He ended it on this earth alright, but such a cowardly thing to do. His domestic troubles no doubt seemed as big mountains, but if he had sat down and talked things over with his wife, both might be living and happy. April is on its way and we can t be too sure about the brand of I weather until the spring showers, high winds and freakish escapades of the weather man are calmed with a May sun. It's the month when new life springs up on every hand and the time of year when we all renew faith in the wonderful miracles of the Greater. The automobile companies are producing more than 50,000 new cars a week, which is less than a year ago, but shows what a hold the car has on the American people. Auto dealers expect a busy spring season, which will further increase production, as the supply of new models on the floor is smaller than any time this year. The threat to shut oft electric current in Michigan because of strike difficulties sounds un-Amer-ican. Business must go on. The people must be fed. Factories must operate. Hospitals and schools must run. To let labor differences intcrfer with these functions, breeds trouble and we do not believe the governor of Michigan will permit such a condition to arise. Adams county farmers will put out hundreds of acres in sugar beets this year. They expect a "good break" in the weather and with it a chance for a profitable crop. The sugar company appreciates this home ioyaity and will do everything possible to bring the highest price per ton to the grower. The company would like to have a 100-day run this fall, which would be swell to say the least.

“A Star In My Kitchen", Is a clever and entertaining movie on the art of cooking and preparation of appetizing menus. Show us the person who is not interested in good things to eat, and we'll tag him as ill. The women attended the show in large numbers at the Adams theater today and yesterday. The final matinee will be given Wednesday and high school girls and members of the domestic science classes will be honored guests. If you haven't »een it, drop in at the A slams tomorrow afternoon. Decatur police express their appreciation to motorists for the way they cooperate with the local traffic ordinance. Although traffic was unusually heavy last Saturday. very little congestion resulted. The cars moved along, only one or two persons tried to doublepark and when asked to drive on. complied with the officer's request. Second street and other streets in the up-town district are safer to- | day than the old system of pile-up and pile-up and drivers keep in better humor, because someone doesn't block the path ahead. The modern youth was telling that they were going to hold an autopsy on the Panda that died the other day in Chicago to ascertain what made "it tick." His mother looked with blank amusement, wondering what a clock had to do with the rare Chinese animal. It reminds us of the following squib: "You must be keen on the talkies, old boy. to go twice a week." "It's not that exactly. You see. if I don't go regularly. I can t understand what my grandchildren are saying." The rebuilding of the city’s electric distribution system has proceeded far enough in the north part of town that plans are being made to remove the old interurban poles along Second street. The poles were erected more than 25 years ago through an arrangement with the Traction Company, the Citizens Telephone company and the city. The poles are unsafe and stand so high that if a storm did blow them over, great damage might follow. They have served their day. The new electric circuit now runs back of the properties, which takes the wires away from the trees. How many people, who moved by appeals over the radio and in the newspapers to send telegrams to their congressmen and senators are sincere about their stand on national questions? They send a i wire asking that the representative vote for or against a bill, because an impassioned appeal has been made by someone to do it. How many are sincere in their stand or know anything about the proposed law ? There's a paradox in the whole picture. They charge the President with coercion and using unfair tactics in gaining support for a bill and then turn around and by heated speech, advise the individual to flood congress with telegrams to vote against it. Are we having government by radio and telegram control? Dale J. Crittenberger, of Anderson, dean of Indiana newspaper publishers, an esteemed and eminent citizen of the state and a beloved friend to thousands is dead. He died while in the harness, as he would like, having spent the afternoon at his newspaper office. He was S 3 years old. He loved the newspaper profession and his ability as editor and publisher is attested in the high standard and position enjoyed by his paper, the Anderson Bulletin. Honors untold came to him in life. He was a former postmaster, auditor of state and a candidate for governor. He was one of the founders and former presidents of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association. Those who attended the recent mid-wint-er meeting of the Association will have fond memories of seeing him

a — Twentv-first anniversary of United States' entry into the World war. on April 6, 1917, brings forth the question of whether the stage is again being set for a similar cataclysm and whether United t States would be drawn into it. In many respects the present international setup parallels that of 1614. But there are also factors which are contributing to the preservation of peace and keeping In check the ambitions of militarists and dictators.

Yet Europe today is an armed camp, the armed strength of the major powers being given above, the totals including active army and trained reserves. At the same time United States is launched on an unprecedented naval expansion program as well as further mechanization of the army and increase of the air force. AU of which poses the question of whether there will be another April 6 in United States' history.

Another method , is to moisten some absorbent cotton with alcohol and rub very gently un-. til the photograph is clean. Let it dry naturally. Dried Fruits If dried fruits are to be chopped in the food grinder, run cold water over them and they will not stick together. Dried fruits can be cooked ; and kept on hand tor a week or more. Dresser Drawers Why not finish the inside of all the dresser drawers with a coat of good white enamel? It will give | them a clean, attractive appearance and also lessens the burden of cleaning.
