Through newspaper advertising you can reach everyone, every phere. at any and all timea This is a good time to pay your taxes and get that job out of the way so if you get busy later it won’t interfere. The tax levies have been fixed for next year and while some of them are slightly higher than last year, in all cases that's because < they provide for improvements and take care of the needy. The Berne picnic under auspices of the Adams County Womens Democratic club was a splendid opeuer of the campaign. The crowd was large, there was a feeling of victory, plenty of enthusiasm, good speeches and a fine time. Let's do things in Decatur. We can improve conditions for every one by improving labor conditions which means we must provide work for those who want it. We have opportunities and will have more and we should take advantage of them. • James I. Farley is campaigning ’ the district and reporting to his constituency upon his record, of • which he is proud. He believes in I this nation and in the future and his experience and ability makes him a valuable man in the law making body. We may not like the arrange- 1 inents being made to prevent a 1 war in Europe but after all it's the | • business of the folks who live in • those countries directly effected. » Our biggest thought should be to be fair to all and keep this country out of it. The bestway to help the labor—mg man is to provide him with work at good living wages. Regardless of any thing else we - should do this. Now is the time • and it marks Lie difference be-, • tween a good town and the a ,er-' ■ age just-run-aloug town or city. Senator George is the winner in ■ Georgia and will he renominated In the convention as the result of this weeks primaries. It was predicted and was shown in the ad- 1 vance polls. He is a Democrat and j a statesman of ability and will prove a valuable member of the highest law makiqg body in the i world. — Two years ago the Republicans carried Maine five to three and it j was one of only two states in the 1 Union that voted against Presi-’ dent Roosevelt. This year they car-' rled it five to four. Not much of a victory to crow about nor is it much consolation for those who would still believe that “as Maine goes, so goes the nation.” With Republican candidates leaning towards the Townsend plan there are indications that the Democrats may become the conservative party. They will never be tb>old guard as controlled by the G.

Congratulations to President Herman B. Wells of Indiana Uni-I versify are very much in order at the beginning of the academic year in view of the excellent fat uity additions secured by him in recent months. President Wells was faced | with the problem of filling vacancies created by the resignation of senior professors who had reached 1 the retirement age. He traveled' more than 33,000 miles to inter--1 view prospects, and he induced a I number of outstanding educators; to come to Bloomington. Included . in the number are four world leaders in the field of nuclear physic's. I the leading algebraist of the world, a nationally known researcher in "erm tics, and an outstanding 1 authority on Eighteenth century French. These scholars and others' have had extensive teaching ex- 1 \ perience and have bolstered the i faculty to an extent unprecedented since the days of Davis Starr Jordan. Indiana University has long been known for the excellence of I its educational standards, its high , rating is maintained and even en- j hanced as the year 1938-39 opens. | —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Aside from the esteem accorded I Gov. M. Clifford Townsend for his j excellent administration of state I affairs and his ready and logical solution of many perplexing probI lems which have confronted the > State of Indiana since he assumed I I 'TTs stewardship, the Chief execu-' tive is highly popular among al! ; Hoosiers for his genial personality and keen sense of humor. As a vis- | itor today to Anderson, he came i i not because of his position at the head of the state government, hut j because he enjoys meeting people and being with his friends. He made the trip to the National A. A. U. Junior Horseshoe touruai rnent solely in the interest of rej creation and having a good time. | A number of admirers greeted him upon his arrival and escorted him jto Athletic Park, where Ae took part in a special horseshoe match ; with Mayor Harry IL Baldwin as I a feature opening the three-day (competition. The Governor thor- ; oughly enjoyed the entire proceedi Ings and caused much amusement Iby his particular brand of home--1 spun humor which is so dear to native Hoosiers. The Governor not only is a sound business man and ! a capable executive and leader, but also is a hale fellow and a most enjoyable companion.—Anderson Daily Bulletin. o i * TODAY 8 COMMON ERROR * ' Lithographer is pronounced I lith-og'-ra-fer! not lith'-o-graf-er ■ «
