February lies behind and now for the march toward spring. Those one dollar auto license plates won't be available until 1940, providing the bill passes the ■ house, so you better get one of the 1939 sets if you want to drive your car. In 1919 we drove our cars at a top speed of 30 miles per hour. In 1929. this speed was increased to 45 miles per hour. In 1939, it is 60 or more miles per hour. What will 1949 bring in the way of I speed? It is true that better cars are being made, but have humans improved as drivers. Another chapter was written in the famous Wabash river dredge case when the Indiana Supreme Court made permanent a writ prohibiting Special Judge Kister from hearing the bond case issue. As it now stands the bonds will not be issued until further court action is taken and then only if the decision is against the county commissioners. The Catholic school reopened today following a two-day shut down on account of illness among the pupils. Improvement was reported in health conditions and it is believed that a few more days will see normal attendance again both at the Catholic and public schools. The heavy snow, follow- i ed by sunshine yesterday and today seemed to clear the atmosphere and revive spirits. Farmers and their friends will gather at Monmouth in the new high school auditorium for the annual banquet and achievement program. Professor Robert Phillips of Purdue University will deliver the principal address, while George Krick of this city will preside as chairman. The meeting climaxes the year's work of the agricultural and 4-iI dubs and is an impetus for the new year. The legislature may liberalize the unemployment compensation law, one of the amendments being offered would make the law apply to any employer who employs four or more persons. The present law fixes the number of employes at eight. Provision is also made to reduce the number of weeks of unemployment to make the employe eligible for benefits. The revised bill has to pass the senate before it becomes a law. A decision of far reaching effect was that made this week by the United States Supreme Court, in which it denounced sit-down strikes and ruled that workers who seize closed down plants place themsolves beyond the protection of the Wagner Labor Relations Act. Chief Justice Hughes in writing the majority opinion, declared that, employers could -discharge "wrongdoers" without violating the federal law It gives a new shut oui the strike problem and tuay lead

to n better understanding of the rights of employe and employer. March 1 sees a lot of folks mov- , ed to new farms. The men folks will be busy, meeting many of their new neighbors. The women will be busy, too, but they will not | find it so easy to get acquainted. | One of the finest ideas we know, tried In various places, is a neighI borhood party sometime early in March, with all the new neighbors invited as special guests. The pro- : gram should include introductions of the new people, a few speeches, not too flowery, some entertainment, and a lot of handshaking. Where this has been tried it has proved a real tonic for the community.—Prairie Farmer. PROGRESS DEPENDS ON LOVE OF WORK: The United States' greatest contribution to life is the conception that labor is something dignified and desirable for everyone, deci are s ' Channing Pollock, distinguished playwright, author, and publicist, in the current Rotarian Magazine. Work is its own rei ward, he believes, for nobody ever I did anything well, or got anywhere, | without joy in his job. and that is I as true of little jobs as of big ones. "We can have neither progress nor prosperity, neither opportunity nor democracy." says Mr. Pollock, “while any considerable number of us regard work as an enemy, but, what is more to the point, we shall find our dignity equally lessened, and our self-respect, and our pleasI ure in living. "There are dirty jobs, dull jobs, devastating jobs, but I think there j can be few, even of these, that do ! not give some return outside of the pay envelope,” he continues. “It really must help to know that you're pulling your weight, doing your bit. and holding your place in the world at least it must help the man whose vision hasn't been distorted.' The man who doesn t find his job too dull or too devastating isn't likely to hold it very long, the I playwrite says, for the majority I of successtui men started at jobs that may have seemed uninteresting, yet of which they were unashamed and unresentful. “They were banking on themselves; playing a thrilling game; keeping one eye on the bolts, or the wastebaskets, and the other on the gold—not necessarily material gold- at the foot of the rainbow,” Pollock points out. They could say, as J. M. Barris once did, "The most precious possession 1 ever had —niy job in hard work.” “It is too bad. perhaps, that so many of us toiled to the exclusion of other good things, such as enjoyment of leisure and literature aud art, but I should say that wise and balanced enjoyment of labor, like wise and balanced enjoyment of leisure, is an art. “I can't remember any good job I ever did that didn't leave me thrilled. exultant, and almost hysterically happy," he observes. “Or course there's no happiness in the other kind, though, mercifully, we often mistake bad work for good while doing it. But when one perseveres, aud work becomes good—that's the thrill that, luckily, comes more thau once in a lifetime.” o r TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY ♦ 4 March I—The1 —The Adams county basketball tournament opens at the new Decatur gym.

flora REVIVAIS 1 VUUIIVU lllu TIT nuu Eighth St. U. B. A large crowd attended the services last night, and Rev. A B Sudduth again delivered the message. His text was found in Matt. 19:16-27. “What good thing shall I do that 1 may have eteral life?" You may go to church every Sunday morning and evening but no matter how good a life you are living, the question is. Are you saved? Are you walking down the Jericho Road? God is the main factor in our lives tonight and as we enter into the Easter season we should pray more that souls may find Christ. Jesus said "If you would enter into the eternal life, keep the commandments.” Many of us do not have Jesus Christ in our life. Some of us lack prayer and often times we doubt God and don’t put all on the altar. Often times we are careless and do not thank God for what he does for us. Many of us let money come between us and our God. “What does it profit us if we gain the wealth ot' the world and lose our souls?” Services will continue all week starting at 7:30. Tonight Rev. Martin will be in charge, and tomorrow night Rev. A. B. Sudduth will again be with us. The Monroe men's chorus will also be with us Thursday night.

Saturday night and New Yeat s Eve; (4) Issuance or renewal of wholesalers' pennits made discretionary with the alcoholic beverages commission. but rejected applicants given the right to appeal in superior court, and (5) the credit provision lot wholesalers, and a provision requiring that retailers can extend no credit to' consumers. An anticipated attempt on the part of Republicans to re-insert the provision of the original pill for a four-man bi-partisan commission did not materialize. Two other bills of major importance were expected Io be passed upon today by senate committees. The roads committee was scheduled to meet to discuss a house hill providing for a new system of rc-appropriation of highway department funds and giving the counties a larger proportion. The bill would do away with a $1.250.01X1 diver .ion into the general fund and result in a great reduction of funds remaining for operating the state department. The bill was slated for drastic changes in the senate committee, however, and it. was expected • hat the diversion would be returned and the county increase greatly reduced. The lull to reduce gross income tex for retailers from one percent to one halt' of one percent was the principal problem before the senate finance committee. Unable to reach a tsoiutiwn to satisfy both retailers who seek the reduction dud farmetv who oppose it. the committee is nee king to solve the problem by weaua of a graduated

KELLY,° GREEN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) turns the election commission estimated that Republicans would poll 22.80 per cent of the total vote this year, a gain of about 5 per cent. Republican candidates in the 1938 primary received 192,097 votes. A 5 per cent loss was indicated for the Democratic party. Democratic candidates received 933,591 votes in the 1938 primary. 82.93 per cent of the total vote. Returns from yesterday’s primary indicated they had dropped to about 77.14 per cent of the total. Politicians looking for 1940 national political significance hi the primary had expected that if Kelly lost the Illinois delegation to the Democratic presidential nominating convention would lean toward a conservative wing. They 1 expected any change in party strength to indicate how Illinois might vote as a state tn 1940. Re- | publicans pulled ahead of Demo- ; < rats in dawnstate counties in last I year’s general election but lost out | in the heavy Chicago voting. i The two unsuccessful candidates conceded defeat within three hours after the polls closed. Courtney, who has opposed Kelly tor control of the Democratic party since 193«. sent, him a telegraph which read: “The administration has been approved by the voters. I wish to extend my congratulations.” Green lanched into his general election campaign as soon as ft became apparent he was the winner. "The real fight has just begun,” he said. “We arc organizing the I drive Io smash the Kelly-Nash machine in April. Chicago has had an end of monopoly rule.” He said he would welcome Courtney to ‘‘stand shoulder to shoulder with us in this fight to redeem the name of our city.” scale income rate for retailers The exact nature of the scale has not yet been determined.
