Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, everywhere, at any and all times. With several local concerns using daylight saving time, we will > have the usual mix-up with the clocks. Seems as though we ought to get together on this questilon of what the hour is. If you have moved, changed your name or are a first voter or if you ' haven't voted for two years, you | must register to qualify for the November election. Call at the county clerk's office. Another sure sign of summer is file fact that the fountains in the city are operating. You can get a drink of sparkling water, as pure and sweet tasting as you can find any where in the world. Try it. The straw hat season is here, officially opening Saturday. W hen the showers are over and we have settled down to the summer stretch, you will be out of style unless you have a sailor or a Panama. Governor Townsend in an address to members of the CiO in their first state convention, urged that all labor organizations get together and that they encourage a spirit of tolerance and friendship. After all there must be an understanding between employer and -employee and an honest desire of cooperation before we can get far. It's foolish to violate the state traffic laws. A squad of state police drifted into town the othei -evening and in a couple of hours, -■picked up more than fifty people who were violating the laws, either by speeding, failing to stop for crossings, driving without licenses or without proper lights. They will return again soon and its quite Important that they find you within the law. " If a special session of the Indiana legislature is called, it will be necessary to hold a special election in this senatorial district, Adams, Blackford and Wells counties, if we have representation. ’-There is no other method of filling a vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator- Thurman A. jfiottschalk when he assumed the 'directorship of the slate welfare department. r .

school annual, Is that one Just off the presses for this year. 11 contains a number of attractive features, with photographs of the ( members of each class, items of interest about the new building us t well as the old Central structure, recently razed. It’s worth looking 1 over'for you will enjoy and uppret chile its excellent qualities. More than 4,800 people eligible J to vote in the recent primary, eith-i ) cr did not vote or lost their vote ’ 1 because of mutilating the ballot! J in some manner. Os course such | > * i a number, if they could be organ-, • izul. would control any election. I It's important to vote and to vote i in the manner prescribed by law. | Plan to vote in November and post yourself on how to vote so it will I be counted. There is nothing difficult about it and Just a little : thought before you go to the polls ■ will prepare you. The Fort Wayne-Peru Kokomo-in- 1 dianapolis interurban line is to be . abandoned and a bus line will take J its place, under a ruling from the | Public Service Commission of In- j I diana. The traction line was for , I years one of the most popular in I the middle west and for years did I a large business. Then came the j bus lines and the private cars and . 1 its volumne gradually diminished to a point where losses in operatI ing were sustained. Overheads ' were cut, rates reduced and every thing done to continue the service but finally it had to give up to the ; march of time. Looks like the interurbans will soon be cast aside ' along with the old horse and buggy. ‘ A special session of the Indiana I legislature will probably be called ' soon for the purpose of appropriat-1 ing funds with which to meet the | Federal government if the PWA 1 request for a fund of {8,250.000, is | granted. The money is to be I used for a building program, including a three milliou-dollar state office structure. The Federal ad-1 1111uiis desirous of putting on a recovery program and will provide 45% of the mney. It's up to the various states that take advantage of this to provide the other 55%. If it's necessary to call a . special session for a few days to I attend to this, it of course will be done. James A. Farley, postmaster general, and chairman of the Democratic national party, visited in Indianapolis Saturday, the occas- : ion being the dedication of the ad-I dition to the Federal building, there. Jim _'s a regular fellow and i a mighty clean one. He has never . taken a drink of any kind of liquor . because his mother asked him not . to. He doesn't smoke and has no I , bad habits, but he is not a sissy, , make no mistake. He loves boxing, baseball and all kind of sports. His word is good and he is in every way, a real man. Even his oppon- - cuts recognize his ability since he ■ predicted exactly how the last nat- . ional election would rsult. His . visit to Indiana this time was not . political but official. ’ Many suggestions have been made as to how to help the railroads. They cover a wide range, from providing the Reconstruction Finance Corporation with $1,500,000,000 to loan the carriers, to a.a outright subsidy and wage cuts. . There is little doubt as to the ' L plight of the railroads and figures • show deficits from operations. In other words, they are not carrying enough freight. More than a third of the mileage is in receivership and many more will be unless some action is taken. What should be done is, of course, a matter of opinion and opinion is sharply divided. There is one thing that could be done which would give the railroads a break and not cost the government or the taxpayers ’ a cent. That is for Congress to j | pass the Petteugill bill, which is ! aimed at repeal of the so-called ' long and short haul regulation. I • The measure would permit the j railroads to give a price differen-
