The swing to better business baa started and with it is a spirit of optimism that indicates the spring and summer months will be brisk and The jury hearing the sex murder case in Fort Wayne is composed entirely ot men. the women being excused from sitting through sev oral days of sorid testimony. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor are planning to visit America thia summer and If that is the way they feel about it England is not , going to war. Surely the Duke would want to be in line. Cooperate in the clean-up drive and get your premises in order, it will not cost you anything to have the tin cans and debris hauled away if you place it in containers and have it ready for the clean-up crews next Monday. The movie industry spends about 11 "0.000.000 a year to produce pictures for the people's entertainment. the theaters paying another SO thillion to show them, it's big business and one which the public would tniss If it were removed from American life. ■=? The shock ot seeing a man jump from an eighth floor railing in the rotunda of the Wisconsin state capital caused the death of the' witness. Most anyone would have a heart attack after seeing a human being flatten out like a new bride's pie right before his eyes. _____ --— ’ One of the major inducements to home ownership is the low I property tax rate in Decatur. With a civil city levy of only 40 cents, the total rate payable here is only |2.4» on the assessed valuation. The way to continue home building is to keep local property taxes at a minimum. Robert Gentie will attend the Hoosier Boy's State at Indianapolis next month, being a representative of the Lions Club. Boy s State acquaints youth with the functions and operation of governmdht and the week's training given is beneficial in many ways. Several hundred boys will form the school. Have the tin cans, bottles and winter's accumulation ot debris raked up and placed in boxes or containers for the city cleanup crews next Monday. The canvass of the alleys will begin next Monday and all the rubbish and unsightly objects, except the ash pile, will be hauled away free by the city clean-up vans. “I don't want to arouse stockholders hopes too high, but business is coming along, and in my judgment, our net will exceed the flrat quarter of 1938 by more than 6u percent." raid the president of the publishing flrm of the Saturday Evening Post. The editorial policy of this great weekly maga-

sine does not Indicate any Meh condition and the stockholders may tell the editor he is wrong. Adams county will continue its bovine tuberculosis eradication program. The county eommisalonit era have renewed the contract it with the state veterinarian for u p ; i continuance of the examination of cattle thia year. It la the correct I thing to do. We must protec t the * cattle in order to safeguard tke | q health of children and the T. B I 6 test of herds is one way to do it. I I Dairy herds in thia county have D a high rating aud it should be * our aim to maintain that standard. The Democratic central commit teemeu who are served through the Fort Wayno postofllce will i ' meet May 11 to endorse one of! the three certified candidates for postmaster of that city. The leading candidates for the office are Godfrey J. Gladbach, assistant I postmaster; Clyde llrlesbach, paper salesman and war veteran and 1 John W. Knorr. Insurance agent I The recommendation will go to the I'nited States senators, who In turn will ask that the man selected by the committee be nam- , ed by President Roosevelt. The coming years will bring full i .ippiaisal of P'esident Roosevel c administration. When partisanship* ' has been forgotten and hie accomplishments can be judged Im-i partial and upon their merits, it i is the belief that the social secur-1 ity program will top the list of the - many great things done for hu-!' inanity. So well was the program < I accepted after President Roosevelt proposed it that only 33 members ' of the House of Representatives I out of 435 voted against it. and j. only six of the 96 tn the Senate opposed it. In the abort time that the social security program has been In effect. 3.500,090 of the aged, the blind and the dependent children are receiving federal-state allowances. Already all Mates have unemployment compensation < laws and more than 27.500.000 wage earners have earned credits ‘ toward out-of-work relief under these laws. Already 43.000.00014 workers have applied for accounts under the federal old-age insurance I , plan. Thia is clearly the most far-reaching thing that Americans have ever undertaken cooperative- ' ly. Posterity will ever praise 1 , Franklin D. Roosevelt for begin- ' nlng this program. 1 MAN'S BEST FRIEND: I Many encomiums have been paid t to man's best friends among so-,, ■ called dumb animals. Perhaps the < one moat frequently quoted la Sen- - ator Vests eulogy In which he | said: | , “The one. absolute, unselfish , friend that man can have in thia i selfish world, the one that never | deserts him. the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.” Then there are the familiar quotations also brimful ot sentiment: "Love me. love my dog.” and "Who loves me will love my i dog also,” and. as expressed by ' Sir Thomas More, "Whosoever loveth me lovetb my hound. " Not only has tribute been paid the dog in prose and poetry, but 1 also In song. Medals for bravery ( and endurance in the face of great ! danger and for devotion to his 1 master have been awarded him. 1 and enduring monuments have been erected to bls memory. A ’ notable example is the bronie 1 figure of Balto. the leader of the - dog team which carried diphtheria serum across the wilds of Alaska > to save'the Ilves of sufferers from r that dread malady. It stands on a rock on the east driveway of Central Park In New York City ‘ and Is Inscribed as follows: k "Balto —Dedicated to the Inr domitable spirit of sled dogs , that relayed anltoxm 600 miles over rough ice. across trencher- > our waters, through Arctic fallsf sards from Nenana to the relief ' of stricken Nome In the winter of 1925. Endurance, fidelity and I intelligence." k A monument might well be erect-1

BWhen Mothers and Daughter* Get Together AN QI ETS for mothers and daughters are popular during the early weeks of May. So let’s plan one and use pansies for our decorations. You've seen the. little boxes of pansy plants offered at the florists. Perhaps several of these boxes—decorated with frills of purple and yellow tissue paper would be attractive centerpieaes on the tables. At the end of the party the boxes could be sold or given to the oldest mother present, the mother with the largest number of children, the mother who has been married longest.

the youngest mother present, < Or you might have low bowls of c the cut pansies, and a little indi- : vidual pansy plant at the place of each mother. The pot of the plant t could be concealed by a large lace j paper doily brought up around it a and frilled at the top like the lacy c frills around the old-fashioned bou- t quets. Place cards could be ail-11 houettes on lavender cards of i women in old-time attire. i For the Menu I suggest the fol- > lowing: j Fruit Salad Bouquet 1 Roast Lamb with Mint Jelly I Mashed Potato Nests Filled with 1 Green Peas I Tray of Relishes (Radish Rosea, i Olives and Celery Curls) Hot Biscuits or Rolls i lee Cream Little Fancy Cakes i _ or Fresh Cherry Puffs Coffee Here are the recipes and quanti- I ties necessary for serving this dinner to fifty guests. Fruit Bouquet Salad: Place a rosette of soft yellow eream cheese in the eenter of a bed of lettuce on individual salad plates. Into it press three large black cherries stuffed with nuts. Around this, place alternately petal-shaped pieces of fresh pineapple and sliced oranges—having them overlap. Arrange little clusters of strawwrries to look like rosebuds around the outer edge—dotting the frill of smaller lettuce leaves that surrounds the whole bouquet (Before arranging the salad marinate the fruit with Sweet French Dressing.)
