One of the big circus outfits has a woman clown this year Evident* ’ ly the fairer sea intend to go on with their fight for equal rights with men. —— Watch for counterfeit dollar bills A number have been found in Fort Wayne. The number Is I S-3411U73-A. Paste that number * over your cash register and report to police if you find any. We hope the officers will ftnd some method of making the "moochers and hoboes move on ( to other pastures. There are a lot out wtth the robins this spring aud they are no good in the community. Special services will be held iu [ many of the churches of the county tomorrow in observance of mother s day You arc cordially Invited and we know you will enjoy the music, the sermon aud the services. Affairs in central Europe seem * to have quieted considerably the • past few days but it's hard to guess whether it's a good sign or a bad one, whether it means a general let up on the campaign or a deliberate plan to rest and wait for the . proper moment to move. As the summer vacation approaches it will be wise to warn the children to be careful when crossing the streets, riding their wheels, roller skating or otherwise enjoying themselves. Ho far this year the city has been fortunate ' iu having tew serious accideuts. Let's do ail we cau to continue the i record and improve it as we can. Olin K. Holt, former mayor and i ten others from Kokomo, on trial in federal court at Indlanaitoiis, charged with WPA frauds, will soon know their fate. Th, Mate) has rested and the defense will require but a day or so It is said The charges are serious and the case Is being watched with great Interest by citlxeus everywhere. Life insurance claims paid in Decatur last year totalled fll’.ooo and tn the state fifty-four millions. Those who figure that a lot of money goes our of the community annually for life insursce. and that» correct, also should consider that a large amount la returned each year and that It usually comes In most conveniently, snd that s correct also. It Is reported that Republican newspaper editors have been In-! vited to attend a secret mectlhg at the Hays hotel In Warsaw. Bunday. the litat, for a conference with Herbert Hoover. Just why all the mysterious tamaflougc we don't know but It's evidently something big that Kcnatur Watson and his ’followers won't like. Great old game isn't it? Mother's day will be observed bunday afid regardless of how strong you are for these special

days, we are sure you will agree that It mom has been neglected In , any way, this In a good time to at i least tell her and show her that J you still think she Is the grandest I person In the world. She has It aud we're for her seven I million per cent. U High Commissioner Paul V. Me- | Nutt left the PhlUlpne islands with . a grand send off and the best [' wishes of the cltlxens there beI cause of excellent services rend- • cred and he will be received here 1 ■ 'with a genuine welcome from mil- ' i lions of admirers who believe he * is the outstanding man tn the na- ' tion for the presidential race of j I 1940 He baa made good In every ' thing he baa attempted and he will I continue to do so. Effort is made by the city ad-1 ministration to collect all arrear-1 I ages due on water and light and j power bills and ft will be well for those who are tn the position of | debtor for these utilities to inform ; I themselves on the new order which I ' provides for immediate payment , for bills under ten dollars and paymeuts of ten per cent a month for I . all amounts over ten dollars. Those j who fail to meet the requirements I will ftnd themselves tn the dark and thirsty one of these fine days. Dredging of the St. Mary's river I | as is now being promoted by a | number of Ohio farmers will no doubt be a great aid through this ■ section It accomplished, it would provide a greater water supply that would aid during the sugar I campaign and probably would solve numerous problems of the conser1 vat ion clubs. If the Improvement cau be made by the federal govern- ! meat aud without cost to the various counties through which the i river flows, it seems to us a prop- ■ osition worth boosting. At least it is worthy careful consideration and investigation. Regardless of polls, straw votes , and guesses at this time, It to well |to remember that the Roosevelt administration has been for the, people, has made a great fight aud a good record and that auy mistakes that may have been made | were errors made in a battle for ' the people. Those who would turn national affairs over to the old conservative group should and we I la-llcve will realise that they are | : trusting their affairs with those who will if given the opportunity.' maku it more difficult to live as I the average man hopes to. There ! I is a great difference and it s well to listen carefully to criticism, but , it's also wise to remember that your own best interests are at | slake. ■ A representafive of the Indiana I Hoard of Tax Commissioners is; | authority for the statement that a j reappraiseihent of real estate will I Ire ordered by the board for 1941.' He Mid the new appraisement will ire the moat thorough iu the history of Indiana. The depression years have witnessed the decline in real estate values, but In mom sections of the State property has remained I on assessment lists st appraisals made when values were much greater. This has been true both of residential and business property. At the same time, many other pieces of property of equal value base | been assessed al lower figures. | Local and stale officials have bcm aware for several years of the need for a more scientific appraisal of I property for taxation purposes. | The old hit-or-miss method of eatl- ! mating value has only served to | create burdens for some while permitting others to escape their just share of the lux bill. — Richmond Palladium-Item. 1 O'— i— To Speed Between Fairs Butte, Mont, — ((IP)—Mike Kavran, resident of Butte, plans to 'scoop" Ute entire population of the United States by being the first ; man to see both the San Francisco aud New York expositions. Ho has made special transportation ar-, rsogements which he is convinced j no oue else will be able to outdo. <

BEST COLORS FOR YOUR HOME Wea»her and colors have a very | large influence <m your home life i i through their etfecta upon dlsponl I tlons Os cwuree cheerful colors' ma Ire ctieerfnl homes, but colors depend on weather and auuahtne.» A home to t»- cheerful throughout depends on how you handle the colors <>f your drapes aud furniture Here are a few fundamentals of auccesaful Interior coloring | to remember with relation toi weather and sunlight Light from a north window la' never strong Except in early' morning and late evening In sum-1 • mer a north window does not re-1 <-eivt direct sunlight Light froml the northern p«rt of the sky la ■ old and blue, and the latter lh< day outside the chillier and colder is the light within. It you want j to make a room ilxh'ed from the north l<M>k like an Ice box just finish it tn blue aud white. To make a fourth room plenaant let I the drapes Im- white and have pink nr yellow colors predominating In the walls. You have a wide latitude of in I ter tor colors for a south window, i but because the light from a south window la strong its shade should tw* heavy, and the drspes can stand i more color ntid darker tones than pother window*. During mid-day In I summer little direct sunshine : enters a south window, but sky light from the south irf always | I strong and white, and It can Ihcounted ou to be two or three | times as bright as the light of al : north window.
