Do you realise that the legislature will adjourn three weeks from Monday and that it will then Ik March Oth and spring will he here? Beats all how time and tide travel right along. mmmmmmmmmtmmr ' It begins to look as though the WPA will either he abolished by congress or cut iu two. a movemeut which doesn’t agree very well witli the promises made during the campaign. Ten thousand people are homeless again in the Ohio valley as a result of ardent tains and the i Red Cross is on the job, rendering service as they can. It’s the greatest organization we know of. The 1. U. basketball team went out in front of the conference teams when they defeated the leaders, Ohio State, decisively.

It operated two weeks, folded because the expenses ex-, ceeded the receipts and i hat's always sure to result iu bankruptcy \ The wonder of it all is how they ! can still interest capital to that extent on a "shoestring." mmmuamammmm** Senator Minton is ill iu the Naval hospital at Washington. He attended the funeral of his father in southern Indiana last Friday and returned to the capilil with i a severe cold which developed into influenza with symptoms of pneumonia. His thousands of Indiana friends are hoping and praying for his speedy recovery. The appointment of Mr. Lassus as acting postmaster to succeed Mr. Ellingham seems to have stirr- " cd up some trouble at. Fort Wayne, which is not so surprising when j we consider that postofficc appointments have caused a lot of annoyance the past hundred years. After all only one applicant can win. Build a new home . Perhaps you think you can't but perhaps you are wrong. With FHA, aid of local banks, lumber companies, contractors and others, its surprising how easily you can build a modern home thal you can enjoy while paying for it like rent. Read the announcements from time to time in this paper and investigate. Republicans have a bill iu the legislature that would permit the buying of votes in an election. Os ail ilte crazy measures so far introduced, that would certainly be Hie worst. Alter years of battle

to bring about clean campaigns. J and we hove advanced, to do away with all this effort, would be u disgrace which of course will not J be permitted. bb—bbb«— Governor Chandler of Kentueky, 'I the politician with a smile and a , lot of ability, including his speech ! making, will be on the program ; I : with Governor Townsend of ludlI ana at Saturday night's editorial banquet. You wilt enjoy it a lot If you attend. Tickets can be obtained now by writing state Demoj crutic headquarters at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis. Spring is jußt around the corner. It’s time for every one to awaken and get busy. There will be a lot of building, highway improvements, homes will he remodelled, additions built to factories, its going to be a big year for those who go after it. Merchants should meet the progessive steps by advertising and getting ready to do their share of the business thal is bound to go some where. There is no need to patronize magazine salesmen.

Drop in and get a circular or write us and we will send you one. Republican leaders are charging the Democrats with delaying legislation in the Indiana assembly, j which means of course they refer i to bills of political significance, i which opposition forces are scarceIly expected to agree on. I’p to date the G. O. i’. has been able to 1 muster its majority of two whenj ever necessary and the public doesn’t see just what Mr. Evans is crying about unless its more political hunk. ___ We do not believe there is any desire on the part of Mr. Baum- ] gartner or any one else connected with the calling of the meeting of j committeemen here Saturday ati ternoon. to injure the Democratic cause in Adams county. We hope ) that any differences of opinion may he ironed oat and that the j meeting concludes in a decision to unite in the common cause for a j victory in 1310. Important issues will be at stake then. " Raymond Willis, defeated caudi dale for U. S. senator last fall i lias decided not to contest the ' election further, blit will give a sob story to the voters next year about how he was counted out. He has had every opportunity the , laws afford and can still have a i recount before the senate if he has any evidence of corruptness. Now is iiis time and not 1940. The results showed Senator VanNuys the winner by about 5,000. If it bad been the other way. Mr. WiljUs would now be parading in Washington declaring Democrats poor losers if they had uttered a word of doubt about the results. If you read your news from the angle of the front page, or the editorial page, you will find thut I the New Deal has ruined business, is competing with private enter- ] prise, is sending the little business man to the devil. But if you go back to tin' financial page, you find that thr; price of stocks is ' | rising, that confidence among those i wito havo money to invest is increasing, that insurance and other companies are prospering, fn Indiana, an insurance company, founded during the depression by Ilte late former Governor of the state, lias written over $10,000,000 in policies since its inception. This is in competilou with exist- ( ing insurance companies, with f their years of experience and their - vast reserves. If this means auy- ■ thing. i< means that there is still i opportunity iu this country, not

only in insurance, but in all other fields of enterprise. It shows that the administration has saved and preserved business. As in all other business, insurance must have buyers. Business does not exist ; and cannot continue to prosper! among paupers and buggers. They must have customers. And cus-j tomers must have money. o * J Answers To Test | Questions ; Below are the answers to the | Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ • 1. A total lack of reasoning powers. ".
