Have your renewed your subscription to the Daily Democrat? Please do! The blue bird had better get under cover or he will get nipped for not having believed the ground hog. The hundred-year old town hall at Fawn River. Michigan, will be sold at auction this afternoon. Some one ought to page Fred Allen. If you have any news call One Thousand. We want loca items, society, personals, reports of illness, items that will interest the people of Adams county. Jack Benny and Fred Allen get heavy sugar for putting on a verbal battle over the radio and have a lot of fun. while the politicians get mad and lose their sense of humor. Twenty-one head of good horses were shipped from the county this | week, indicating we are still the place the eastern buyers turn to| when they want the real thing in horse flesh. The President's birthday parties ! netted more than a million dollars. it has been announced and this amount will b- used to aid the foundation in fighting the dread disease of infantile paralysis. ■ 1 After discussing the beer and 1 liquor problem five weeks it be- ' gins to look as though the only changes that will be made by the . general assembly of 1939 will be to abolish the importers and move the closing hour up to midnight. ■■ President. Roosevelt paid tribute I to the Boy Scouts by saying they are a “national trust.” The observance of Scout week focuses attention on the youth of the nation and it is well that we pause and consider what the real assets of the country are. Telephone items of interest to your home newspaper. We would like to publish a column of personals each evening. In the old days when people traveled by train or traction it was easier than now when they get in the car and are mairy miles away in a few minutes. The tame pigeon in the north part of town furnishes a lot. ol pleasure to those who enjoy having the bird round and watching it fly from place to place. It is so tame that it will light on your shouder and even take you horn.and walk up to your door. Protect it. President Roosevelt doesn't bandy words and he lias openly accused a number of senators of 1 deliberately misrepresenting his foreign policy and giving erroneous reports of the sale of anti-aircraft io Great Britain. He is a fighter and a good American and few people believe any thing else.

i Republican leader* will banquet i in New York tomorrow night, observing Lincoln's birthday, with : Hon. Herbert Hoover a* the speakL er and a thousand congressmen ! and others attending. Tickets are t $25. Whut do you think “Honest Abo,” who was raised on “corn t pone and sow belly" would think • of that? Os course unless there is some ‘ way to reduce the expenses of the ) ’state, there will have to be an > Increase in the budget. Some 1 score of new buildings the past l i year or so make It necessary to 1 increase the appropriation to operate them. We needed the buildings and they will have to be operated and It costs money to do it. No other way to figure it. — The newly organized board of > i health has sent recommendations to the city council for an adequate ! sewer system, an incinerator to ' take care of garbage, immunization of all children of school age and a complete ordinance for regulating the sale and distribution of milk and dairy products. J The suggestions are good and no doubt will be seriously considered by the council and carried out as far as finances will permit. French Quinn, who has told many groups about the life of Abraham Lincoln, which has been a subject for his study many , years, says he got one of the I greatest thrills ever when he told lof the many line qualities of the great emancipator to the two hun- i dred boys in the CCC camp at Bluffton the other evening. He say* they an a wonderful bunch < I of clean, well groomed and attrac- i tive appearing youngsters and j could not help wondering what would have become of them if this | opportunity had not been provid- : ed. And there are thousands of ■ these young men so engaged all i over this country. _ Au ice carnival will be given in | connection with the Van Wert | peony festival next June and ar- 1 I laugements are underway to make it a feature attraction of the fam- | ous national show. We like the I peony show and beautiful flowers < land gardens, but there isn't any- i I thing more thrilling than an ice | skating event Even if you haven’t , I seen Sonja Heine in person at one of the International shows, you ; I have seen her on the screen and the grace and charm of the skat- y er* bring the ahs and ohs, thrill- I j ing one to the toes. Van Wert has I picked out a popular show. The h 1 skating rink will be set up at the a I high school stadium. —J* IdII ■!—l ii :i* The world mourns the death of v I Pope Pins XI. great and good jii i man, leader of four hundred mil- 1 lion Catholics, a strong believer in ■ peace and a friend of man. He had made a heroic fight to live, , believing he still had work to do | and anxious to aid in the celebi a- a ■ tions planned for this week-end.

WHIPS TEACHER I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Maehler came out. When he did, 1 1 stopped him. " ‘lx> you remember that whipp- ! ing you gave me when I was in I first grade? Well, I m getting even.’ I said. So I hit him. 1 think I must have knocked him down seven times before a crowd of students ganged on me and stopped the fight. I figured 1 had paid him back, with 'interest' too." McDonald left LaCrosse that night, latter. Maehler died assault and battery charges against him and the youth was arrested in Valparaiso.
