Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, every-* where, at any and all times. ; If the April showers of the past i week are an indication of May > flowers, we ought to have a liberal , crop of snow balls. Warmer weather is promised for this week and it's getting near the , time of year when we may expect l some real sunshine and soft breezes. It won't be long now. The big primary will be held three weeks from tomorrow and you may rest assured the twenty- ' one days between now and then will be busy ones for the candidates. It wouldn't be spring in Indiana without floods and indications are that we will have some. However it looks as though they will be slight in damaging results as compared to those of last year. The Haagsche Post, published at The Hague, lists President Roosevelt first among the ten most important persons in the world, which is an honor worth while. ; When those of other nations view I him so. we who live in the country | which he governs, may well feel proud. Vai Nolan. U. S. district attorney for the Indianapolis territory, deserves much credit for his sue-1 eessful campaign against the sale I of "obscene’' magazines in Indiana. J He sent Ralph Rlair to prison for two years and wholesale magazine jobbers have promised to ban forty-six magazines which either contain tilth or tell the purchaser where he can buy it. Sixty boys and girls will graduate from the Decatur high school May 26th and start their career in t the great battle of life. They will enter the arena at a time when conditions are different in many ways from those of other decades but they should remember that equipped as they are, they have the same chance or even a better one than did those before them. We wish for thf-m every success and hope they will remember the teachings they have received during the years in the grades and high school. May you go far and be happy all the way. Congress recommitted the reorganization bill, 204 and 196, a surprise after the test votes that had been taken. Just what effect this will have is problematical, but it is no. likely to aid in recovery. It is a difficult matter to please every ’ one and only support, of those in charge will help. Evidently a, majority of those in congress did not agree on all parts of the measure, which was designed to do away with the overlapping of various departments and which has been advocated by every president I of the past twenty years. It looks as though it would Ire wise now to send congress home and let the nation try to work Itself out of any recessions or depressions that may arise.

Concerning business conditions, you will bo interested In the statement of James IL Bancroft, president of the American Institute of J Finance. Mr. Bancroft is nowhere | neur as pessimistic as some of the t ' self appointed seers of spooks and hobgoblins under the bed. "The I weight of evidence,” he says, “fuvors seeing the trough of the present depression in 1938, rather than being protracted over a period of I I years with the basis laid before the > year ends for a new business re--1 eovery." Taking James R. Bani ) croft's prediction in connection > with the observations of other * economic experts, you will perhaps not pay so much attention to the amateur soothsayers masquerading as prophets of the period to ; come. — Fort Wayne Journal-Ga- : zette. , THE RIGHT INSTRUMENT: "The trouble with your boy," said . the judge, "is that he played the; I wrong instrument. If instead of ; letting him waste his spare time I | and money playing the nickel in | I the slot gambling machines in bil-j i Hard rooms and dance halls, you ; I had had him play the piano, the vioI lin. the trombone or some other in- > I strument. he might have kept away ; from bad company and he would I , not not now be facing a two-year ! sentence in the penitentiary.” "That hurts. Judge,” said the | father. "His mother wanted to; give him music lessons, but some-| how I thought it was sissy for a ( ■ boy. and again I guess I was too | I mean to lay out the money. Gosh. Judge, ain't there something that can be done. He's only 17.” "Well," said the judge. "I could j put nim under parole. He looks as though he had good stuff in him ■ and I will do it under condition, and that is that you buy him the : best instrument you can afford and get him a fine teacher and arrange I to have him come to my home; once a mouth and let me judge ’ how hard he is working at his I music. You see. I was brought up , with music in my home, and I know what it means." • This story was told to us by a ■ ' band director who refused to have i him identity revealed. This much ! we do know —boys and girls who I are deeply engrossed in music i study have not the time tot dang-I erous nonsense. As Cervantes I puts it, "Where there it music, I I there is no mischief.” i Even in prisons, experts have found that those who play in the band and the orchestra offer far i fewer disciplinary problems than 1 those without these privileges. Millions and millions of dollars are spent each year upon the manufacture of gambling slot machines which, like all gambling devices, prove dangerously attractive to youth. They are the kindergartens of vice. A fraction of their cost spent upon music and musical instruments would reduce ’ the potential prison population of tomorrow very greatly. The reason why such games exist is that parents fail to do anything about i them: Our prisons are filled with young I men and young women, many of whom are th< because of the ' neglect of their parents, just as! though the parents had led the '; youths to the prison gates as a 1 kind of human sacrifice in the "age of don't care." Let's stop it. Do your share. Teach a boy to blow a horn and he'll never "blow" a safe. —Etude Magazine. W?| Public condemnation of convicted drunken drivers is reaching high proportions. And justly so. Is there any reason under the sun why a man should be permitted to drink more liquor than he can control. step into a high-powered automobile and drive recklessly down our highways, injuring an,!, killing people? There is none. It is regrettable that in many cities and counties throughout our nation enforcement officers and even courts have been somewhat
