Keep your buildings up In repair and your costa down with lumber from the home woods, say Purdue University foresters. Plowing under sod, green manuring crops, crop residues, and barnyard manure, helps to maintain organic matter In the soil.

I*, leader* on plana "to keep the hall rolling" until the crescendo of political fever at the sic tional convention next summer.

He conferred with national committeeman Will Irwin, national committeewoman Grace 11. Heynolds. state chaiman Arch N. Hole bitt and Mrs. Eleanor Snodgrass, ( state vice-chairman. "The third term question certainly la an issue,” Hamilton said. "It may become the dominating Issue of the 1940 campaign. If ft does beIceeome an Issue, it will prove our contention that the President is striving to supplant representative government with one-man control." Hamilton declined to b.arard a guess whether Mr. Roosevelt will seek a third term. Concerning Indiana. Hamilton said he had no* discussed Its probable political complexion with 1 Irwin and Bobbitt, but said that “results of the 193* election show a definite trend here toward the Republican party.” Discussing the Republican national committee meeting set for Feb. 18 In Washington, Hamilton declined to express an opinion whether the party should hold It* nominating convention before or after the Democrat*. | "I'nder the orderly proce**e* of i government." Hamilton said. "The • minority party should be the last to hare Its convention. But we are not going to jeopardize our campaign on that account. We are going to make our own decision when we should have the convention according to our beliefs regarding when it should be held.” Hamilton asserted that he had received inquiries on the convention city from Han Francisco.
