Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywltere, at any and all times. Stand by the President. He is making a real fight for you. Unemployment compensation is' now effective in Indiana, further proof of how the Democratic party is serving the people. There may be a lot of people I out of work but it's about as hard j to get semeboay to help clean j house or do similar work as it ever I was. A scientist physician has declar-1 ed that "sleeping in a tree will , cure insomnia.” We had the idea that sleeping any where would do that. Have you attended to that good ■ citizen's job of cleaning the yard ' this week so the rubbish can be 1 hauled away? It's about over and it has been a fine job. Os course to be entirely successful it must be unanimous. The big league baseball championships have not yet been decided. The teams are getting into, stride and the next several months ’ will find some alternating as to the leaders, it looks like a great season for them. Just a couple of more weeks of school and then the three months summer vacation that the youngsters look forward to. It's line for | them to play but it's wise to have a program and to see that not all tlie time Is thus spent. Those who think that President Roosevelt is not popular any more were no doubt surprised at the results in Florida, where Senator Pepper was renominated on a platform and record of standing back I of the President lUO%. The people : like Franklin D. The Kentucky Derby will be run tomorrow and 100,000 or more men and women will gather for this spectacular event. Americans love sports and this event, world wide in reputation will serve to get the minds of those excited by politics, i cooled off somewhat. Congressman James I. Farley has been a faithful and staunch supporter of the administration policies. He has served the Fourth district with the ability taught him from his years of business experience. His constituency will continue him in his high office. Henry Ford explained his recent visit to the White House by saying he wanted the President to see a man who didn’t want any thing. Well, most folks with a billion dollars could talk the same way but the trouble is that most of us don't have every thing we want. Close elections often result in contests and over the state hunter- ■ ous cases of this kind are report- ’ ed. Election boards try in almost! every instance to be fair and the ' law- gives those who feel decisions ; have not been decided as they

should be. the right to contest by paying the cost. Harry Gottschalk, well known here, was nominated by the Democrats in Fort Wayne for mayor of that city. As an engineer he spent considerable time here when the General Elctrlc branch plant was being located and made a host of friends who believe he will win in November and will give his city a , fine administruton. Mayor Baals. . present executive of that city, will be his opponent. Party organizations are being made and of course these are as , important steps in a campaign as any. perhaps the most important. ' Committeemen and vice-commit-teemen will meet Saturday in each county seat to elect those who will manage the party politics the next two years. Knowledge of politics. | personality and the willingness to extend every energy are the required recommendations. The union painters in Cleveland, i O„ who have voted a reduction of 120 cents an hour in their wage I scale and an increase of one hour : | in the work day are not posing as I martyrs. As they see it the re- 1 adjustment is “good business.” > The announced purpose it to en- j courage home owners and home builders to benefit themselves and i the painters by making use of the I I latter's services. The formal deI cision in Cleveland is that it is 1 i better to be working than to be I not working for 20 cents an hour I more. —South Bend Tribune. Mrs. O. I). Oliphant, past nation-1 I al president of the American Le-1 i gion Auxiliary is heading a cam-1 j paign to aid relief of the south's | | serious cotton surplus by insistI ence on the use of flags which are | 1 ' wholly American in manufacture | ' and materials.” We supposed of ! course that all American flags were made in this country but itl is claimed that is far from being ! true. Os course they ought to be i Ahieriean made. There may be ’ some products that we must and | should buy elsewhere but certainly I with the surplus of cotton, we I | should not be using the red, white I and blue emblems made any where ; else. Mrs. Oliphant says "One out ■ of every ten Americans is depend- . ent upon cotton for his livelihood.” ■ — — -wAn encouraging record of thrift, industry and honesty is disclosed ' l in the report of the Farm Security ; Administration, covering repay-. inent of funds advanced by the gov- , ernment largely as a form of char- . acter loans. From a purely flnan- ' cial point of view, these grants were poor credit risks. The percentage of repayments so far made leads overument officials to estimate that 80 per cent of the funds . will be recovered. The grants avi eraged between 3*oo and 3400 a ' family. The money was used to buy essentials for agricultural op-! erations. The loans bear 5 per cent interest and are repayable over periods ranging from one to five years. A total of 3137,470,000 i was distributed in an effort to eni able farmers to regain a self-sup-| porting status. A check by Federal agents showed that 231,661 families had increased their net worth ' an average of 3252 per family. The number showing an improved condition was 169,884, while 61,777 families made no progress. The more successful farmers increased their production of grain, small i crops, live stock, canned goods and other commodities. The areas where farmers have made little progress are in the dust bowl region and the Dakotas. — Indianap- I olis Star. • o | Household Scrapbook | | By Roberta Lee J To remove mildew from cloth, i put a tablespoonful of chloride of | lime into a quart of water, strain it twice, then dip the mildewed places into this weak solution.

HICKS DIES IN ELECTRIC CHAIR Heber L. Hicks Fourth To Pay Penalty For “Head And Hands” Killing Michigan City. Ind . May B. <U.R> — Heber L. Hicks. 40, was electrocuted early today at the state penitentiary for the “head and hands ' murder of Harry Miller, retired Cincinnati fire department captain. He was the fourth man executed for the slaying. John Joseph Poholsky. hVank Gore Williams and William A. Kuhlman were electrocuted in the same chair last summer. They admitted their guilt after having been convicted. They confessed that Hicks had been their leader in a plot to kill Miller and obtain his 315Q.0W savings. The elderly victim was beaten and shot to death at hia summer home near Trenton, Ind., June 11, 1936. His head and hands were severed and tossed into a lake near Carrollton, Ky. His torso was disposed of in a culvert near Eminence, Ky. Skillfull detective work brought recovery of his remains. Hicks was arrested first. He had been chauffeur and close friend of Miss Flora Miller, eccentric, spinster sister of the victim. Weeks later, Poholsky. a former Pennsylvania coal miner, was seized at Warren, O. Williams and Kuhlman were captured on the west coast. They said they had learned Miss Miller would inherit Her brother's money and that Hicks, on the basis of her friendship, planned to steal it from her. Hicks’ parents. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Hicks of Cincinnati, visited him yesterday. They returned home last night after they had made arrangements for his burial at their former home in Kentucky. He went to his death resignedly. Failure of one of two attending physicians to bring his stethoscope to the death chamber delayed the execution five minutes. Hicks finally was pronounced dead at 12:14 a. m. CST. He lost hia last chance of escaping death early yesterday when Gov. M. Clifford Townsend refused to intervene. The governor said he could not overrule the supreme court of the United States, the state supreme court and the judge and jury which had found Hicks guilty. Hicks had claimed he was convicted on . perjured testimony and that a confession he made to state police was not voluntary. His three accomplices in the crime testified against him. After he had learned of the govemo'r’s refusal to intervene, Hicks spent the remainder of the dky reading and smoking. He ate a chicken dinner at 6 p. in. and later was visited by a Catholic priest. The only witnesses to his execution were Warden Louis Kunkel, a deputy warden, the priest, and death room attendants. o MANION’S NAME (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) corded full party support ever since his appointment, possibly due to resentment with which the dismissal of Fenton was received in ffTT EOT. 41 -- - • P Modernize Your Walls With Lasting Beauty You'll be delighted with the beautiful wall and ceiling effects created with our new GIBBS BOARDTILE, and its guarantee of long life—without deterioration. • We can match any desired color scheme in plain colors or tile ef- ' feet—a fine-textured surface that , is proof against moisture or - grease.
