Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, every-1 where, at any and all times. Election day was perfect so far | as weather conditions existed. And now to business. The primaries are over and there is much i to do. Let's keep this the best I town in the country. — This newspaper, as it has for, many years, strives only to present! the news of the community to its 1 readers. We will continue to do so to the very best of our ability. Figure out the returns. That’s interesting, especially for those who have taken ait interest, such as each candidate has to do. Not a bad idea to tile them away for reference in the next campaign. The annual meeting of the Benjamin Franklin Highway Association will be held Monday, June fith, at the Nixon hotel in Butler, Pa. Those interested in good highways can spend a delightful day by attending the meeting. It might be advantageous also to this com-

munity to have special representatives there. The Democratic state convention will be held July 11th and 12th and the Republicans will meet June 28th and 29th. These events will as usual, be held in Indianapolis and will be awaited with much interest by many who are interested in who will be named for the important state jobs and what the platforms will stand for. One of the most enlightening and interesting articles we have read in a long time is "But is there a Federal deficit?'’ by David Cushman Coyle. It s a half hour of information, argument and analysis that you will appreciate for it .shows clearly that this nation is sound and that confusion will give .way once the general picture is understood. » A Los Angeles man deducted as a loss against income SI,OOO lost on the races. His wife deducted S3OO lost on roulette. Some official in the treasury department decided that the first was deductible because he gambled expecting to win, but that the woman's loss -was not deductible because she -gambled for pleasure. Such is the . mystery of law. “Help make Decatur beautiful” •is the slogan of the city and with -the street department, a clean-up of ail the rubbish is being hauled • from the alleys. We can add to the program by seeing that the yards are properly prepared for .the season, that the buildings are .painted and that necessary remodelling is done. Such things add to the value of your property. Forty-four cars have been entered for the annual 500-mile automobile race at Indianapolis on May 30th. A number of these will be eliminated in the speed tests but it is probable that about thirty will get away when the ‘go’’ sign is given. This event is credited

with being otto of the greatest sporting events of the world and always attracts enormous crowds. It's a big show and a great thrill. ______ Henry Ford may not do much ( talking, but ever so often he says something worth while, line of t th< e occasions was in New York ’ thi other day and this is what ho said: "Too many people are halt asleep. They are looking for scJeurity instead of making it for H themselves." That is true. For • the past few years far too many JI people have been looking to the , | government to give them some--1 thing for nothing. The county committees will meet | Saturday to elect the chairman, vice-chairman. secretaries and I treasurers, the chairman and vicechairman will meet next week to select district officials and the fol-; lowing Saturday the state commit-: tees will convene in Indianapolis ! to elect state chairmen. The con-1 ! ventions will come next and then | ! a few weeks rest before the fall I campaign opens. There is nearly . [always something doing in politics in Indiana. Only ninety-one absent voters I I ballots were tiled in yesterday's I I election in Adams county. Numcr-j ous calls for ballots for sick peopie, unable to go to the polls were ! made but this is not permitted un- ; ! der the law. Many people favor : 'a change in the statute which would permit those too ill to go; to the polls to cast a ballot, when accompanied by the certificate of'. the attending physician and it might be the fair and wise thing i to do. Hot primary campaigns in Lake. | Marion and other counties of the ' state where the population is large i brought out a lot of ugly state-■ ments and there were signs of real trouble similar to .those that have marked elections in Kentucky for many years. It seems so foolish to permit elections to divide a copiinanity, to make enemies out of: ... • I . . * . t i

friends, to destroy rather thau j build, but the human mind is aj queer machine and in this country 1 where full expression is permitted and desired, we will always have ■ sharp contests in elections. Now that they are over, it is to be hoped the olive branch will be offered and accepted and that peace , will again reign. A sense of deep appreciation for I invaluable service during many I years marked the testimonial to David E. Ross, president of the' board of trustees, by grateful almui, faculty and students of Purdue University. A handmade book 1 designed as a work of art and con- 1 taining tributes from many ad j mirers was presented to Mr. Ross at the banquet held Saturday as , part of the gala week festivities. 1 Mr. Ross was graduated from the • university in 1893. Since then he has been one of the “grand old men' of Purdue. In addition to his judgment on the board of trus- j tees and his participation in every major enterprise, he has personally been responsible for numerous bequests of land and other gifts that made possible the expansion | of Purdue activities. He has been I closely connected with the airport, civil camp, field house, housing project, stadium and Union building. The scene of thrilling football games bears the name of Mr. Ross and another noted benefactor, George Ade. It was fitting that a token of such general esteem should be conferred while Mr. Ross i continues in touch with the uni-1 versity’s progress. His efforts reflect in abundant measure the v gratitude and loyalty of a successful alumnus for his alma mater. It is fortunate for both that his in- i dustrial career permits such close association with the daily life of the university.—lndianapolis Star. o — * TODAY'S COMMON ERROR - * Curator is pronounced kiu-ray’-tor, not kui -a-tor.
