Wonder what ever became of the war between China and Japan or was it ever declared a war? The central European argument has crowded the Far East brush Bimost off the pages The Democrat* of Randolph county have opened headquarters kt Winchester, indicating a spirit that ought to grow during the next year to become one of the militant organizations lu the state. Latuka like congieas may MU-. tiuue through the summer but a few weeks of Washington in July may make many of them, especially the new recruits, change their mind It sure does warm up there In mid-summer. A local pastor remarked the other day that he wished there Was some way by which he could create as much Interest each Sunday as is possible at foster time and does seem that one's religion should be more than an annual observation Vkder Fred Hays, new state chairman, the Democrats are showtex much activity with meetings tn many counties, opening of beadquarters and a general |M*pptng up shat is encouraging Put Indiana In the winning column tor the Demociais next year. ■—UM— Billion- of grasshoppers and crickets have arrived on the west coast and are cassing grot dam•ge So far all means of fighting •hem have lulled and many are gravely alarmed for the middle west as the warmer mouths permits them to travel eastward.

Its ( getting a llttl Indiana built 2.259 miles of new highway last year, the best showing In the entire United Stales and all but Hi miles of this was substantial surface, bituminous mixtures and concrete. The state I highway . onimlssfon in this State i is a great organization that really gives the people a lot for the i money expended. Compare Indiana to any other state for roads, education and generally good gov<ernment and you will find the i Hoosiers at the top. The year 1940 will probably j break another record—that of the I ‘ number of straw votes, surveys I and polls to be made.
