Spring is definitely here, the boys are wearing straw hats and the first reports ot the season are coming in from the fishermen. Local iderchanta are inviting you to trade with them and we are sure you will find it very profitable to read ibe advertisements in this paper from day to day. Better get a tax tag for your pel dog. If be doean t have one. be will be locked up for ten days and then If not claimed, will join the cautnea who have crossed the river Styx. Perfect weather for the time of year, equal to Florida, except not as dependable and the flowers and green foliage are missing. Just the same it looks good and it's great to be back home again iu Indiana. Chicago taxpayers have just iceru told what the tax rate tor real and personal property wilt be this year. The total rate is lb 12 per 1100 of assessed valuation. And we talk about high taxes!—New Castle Courier-Times. Adolf Hitler is making Napoleon Booapart look like a piker but we wonder if he will gain as much siteniion from future history. His victories are don,. so smoothly that they do not attract as though he had led a great force to battle. It's only about five weeks until the limit for spring tax paying is up and the sooner you pay it. the longer you will liav< to get ready for the next pay day. Taxes are reasonable- here and you get a lot for your money. The Cllixens Telephone Company continues it* progressive polIcies and will spend a large appropriation iu bettering the rural lines. This company is one of the beat in the middle west, providing excellent service aud operating al low rates. The conservatives an- making a great play these days in prepara tlon for next years campaign, but dou t forget we still have the problem of the unemployed, the lorgotten mau. the middle class and that next years election will be one ot the most Important In all the years of this great democracy. W’<«h the improvements at the soya bean plant, the rrbulldinr ot the Krick-Tyndall factory, increased employment at Iho General Electric, miles of highway Improvements In the county. the building and remodelling of many home's and a general increase in business, the future here looks exceedingly bright.

Thom ' as Dewey and has given him a naI tlonal prestige that may land him the Republican numtuation fur president. The popularity of Franklin Dei lano Roosevelt continues and surprising as It may seem to you, is four per cent greater now than a , month ago. However the polls 1 show that the people do not favor him for a third term. He Is per--1 haps the greatest leader the coun- ' try has ever had for he has been able to retain the good opinion ot a large majority ot the people 1 longer than any other president and has been able to do more with congress than any predecessor. He hasn't won all hla points but sufficient to gain for him undeniable right to leadership. Gallup reports that while threevoters out of four favor selling food to Britain aud France during 1 a war in which those nation* might | j be involved, and while- 52 per cent favor sellins arms to those coun 1 tries, even during a war. 83 per i cent are opposed to sending our army and navy abroad to help either country. Only one- per cent of all the people say their sympu ' thies would be with Germany and !
