Clean up, paliu-up. tlx up time and about every one Is doing IL —o— It's tax paying time, which kind ot spoils the old soug about the merry spring. —o—o It’s time to clean-up and fixup and paint-up and a lot of the folks are doing It. Let's make it uuaul- , ■one. —o-o— All but four of the sixty-eight men who were seut from here to Port Wayne for examination for admission to training camps passed the test. That's a good showing for the average for rejections is much larger. I —o— According to a poll taken by the Indianapolis Star, eighty percent of the people of that city want daylight saving time. It that's true there can't be much to worry about for eventually, one way or another, such a majority Is sure to get what it wants. oo- ■ Ladies are invited and urged to join the Red Cross knitting circle that is meeting at the American Legion home on First street. They are providing many articles for those in need and doing a patriotic as well as good neighbor work Join them. —o ■« Except for the coal miners of the south, the strike situation shows considerable improvement. The threat to General Moton will probably be dispersed and indications are that general business will run meh smoother the next six months than It has the past half year. —o Kish-, the most famous cow in the world, was killed In a New York City truffle accident. Owned by a large milk company. Elsie bad made a hit al the world fairs and was recently touring the country in a'vaudeviiie act. And none of the bovine family Is trained U> lake her place. —■ ♦■■a Truffle movement in the mouth of March showed a ten percent Increase over the same mouth last year. Part of that Is due to the Increased number of cars in operation and some of it is due to the fact that we bad much better wwather this year than last during that month. —o— Andrew Jackson Houston 17, will succeed tbs late Senator Shepherd of Texas, having been appointed by Governor O’Duuiel. The new senator is a son ot the famous hero ot Run Jacinto. General Sam Houston and lias long been prominent I tn the Lone Star state. He will serve until the election June 38th. ■ O' Q— The forest flres in the eastern auimr have become really very aer-

lous and In seven or right states the reports of losses are tremendous. The blase which covered thousands of acres In Indiana han been controlled by aid of the rains but in the east there has not even been a shower for a month or more. Th. coal strike must be Mopped and quickly or factories will have 'I to close down. Interfrrrlng greatly I with plans for defense. Just what I the real dlffl< ulty is seems covert'd up by the refusal of mediators to I get together, but whatever it Is. can be settled in some manner that I will not necessitate the closing down of the nation. —o A LaPorte woman is under arI rest, act used of having swindled from 300 to Soo men out of ten dollars each. The Woman operated a I tavern there and under promise of landing Jobs for the men luduted them to pay her the ten-doilar bills. It looks impossible that she could fool so many, but she finally caught up with herself when federal men investigated and she is now under bond to explain it in federal court. —O—•— if and when Charles Evaus Hughes resigns as chief Justice of the Hupreme Court ot the United States, that body will lose Us moat outstanding member and one ot the worlds greatest jurists. He is a great lawyer and bis years ot experience have made him a most valuable Judge. He Is in his eightieth year and while he Is entitled to rest, bls services during these strenuous days will be greatly misaed. o—o In Port Wayne the Liou's club, sup|»orted by the city officials and many citizens have completed plans for a campaign to enforce slower driving within the city limits, to reduce tiafflc accident*. They will advocate a maximum speed of twenty Mis miles an hour. That will Im> very annoying to those who feel they are crawling if they drive under fifty miles an hour, but it will go a long way toward* solving the vexing problem of how to save live* in traffic and after all that'* the important thing. —o o Any nation that anticipate* it will have to meet Germany in military conflict will do well to realize that Hitler victories are not from magic or from luck but because his army is the lost equipped, trained and directed in the world. To figure any other way I* to use the ostrich tactic* of sticking one * head In the sand. The soldier* of many countries are Just a* brave but outnumbered and out-equipped with their movement* out-planned, they must meet great odd*. Think it over. The Decatur Ministerial Association ha* adopted a resolution favoring improvement* at the Adam* County Memorial hospital to take care of the ever increasing demand. Other organizations have taken similar action and it is expected that some action will soon be taken that will provide the most for the least investment. The county commissioner* and councilmen have the big task of providing improvement demanded while at the same time guarding' against excessive taxes. And that * what makes the Job* lough. — o u There will be much lax talk the nest few weeks a* congress discusses that vital problem and there will be boosts for those who have money with which to pay. After all raising billion* of dollars for defense la «ur« to cause v orrle* and sacrifice* but If we save our boy* and our property, it's worth whatever It coats. The mau who makes a million dollar* the next year will have to turn three-fourth* <xf it back to the government that 1* protecting him aud making that pogwibie. but he cm probably have an occasional steak with the *350.0041 he ba* left.
