It you believe in signs, Heaven bless the ground hog! ii—o - -0-*— One interesting contest for a place on the Democratic ticket In the next November general election has developed. Harmon F. Gillig, incumbent coroner and Richard Linn and Elmer Winteregg, Jr., all three have announced their candidacy for the post of coroner of Adams county. AU three candidates are substantial Adams county citisens and Qualified for the duties of the post they seek, in all likelihood there win be some spirited contests tor other 1 offices and indications are that those who enjoy politics will have plenty this spring and next fall. fr 0 In order to accommodate those people who desire to obtain their automobile license plates on Saturday afternoons, three Adams eounty officials have announced their offices will remain open all day on Saturday February 18 and 15. The reason is that those who have not paid their current taxes, must do so before they can get a 1»5« auto license tag and those ♦ho have lost their tax receipt must get a statement from the county .treasurer. There is nothing in the law that requires these Offices to remain open but Treasurer Neal, Auditor Kitson and Assessor Koos have decided to do io as a public service. Wo commend all three of them. Almost every human being, sometime in his life, has an urge to write someone an anonymous letter. A very few have the desire 7Z to compliment someone but most of these letters have hatred as a core. Statistics show that a big majority of these letters, even If written are never 'mailed. However, if the hatred burns deep enough or the jealousy is uncontrollable, the letter reaches its destination. The recipient usually Worries for a day or two trying to locate the sender and then throws the unsigned tripe away. He

shrugs it off, but the sender lives with his own conscience the rest of his life. The practice will never be stopped, because humanity has among Its many fine people, a few cowards, who perhaps temporarily feel stronger after they have written on seme subject which has tortured their mind. The world loves and respects a great dissenter, even if he is, wrong but we seriously doubt if anyone, even the anonymous writer himself has any respect for the coward who does not sign bis name. 0 A*— The Decatur electric situation is serious but not critical at this moment, according to Lester Pettibone, superintendent of the municipal light and power department. While the city’s generating equipment is old, it all Is in operating condition and while that situation exists, Mr. Pettibone and city officials are looking around for a plan of permanent improvement There are three alternatives. The City can add diesel equipment or steam generating units or the City can buy part of tts needed electric current. Cost will enter in to the final decision, of course, but eost should be secondary. First and foremost, should be a plan whereby Decatur will have sufficient electricity for all of Its needs for now and for the future. We believe it is good procedure to investigate the three fields of possibility. Mr. Pettibone already is In correspondence with diesel manufacturers, steam plant manufacturers and is planning to make some official contacts with all private electric genutilities who might be interested in selling this, city its required power. The problem c'annot be solved in a day, but the Administration has taken a commendable step in starting plans, and Mayor Cole and Superintendent Pettibone have said that •very step toward a solution would be thoroughly explained to the public, prior, to any official action.

Mr. Worthman was back on the bench after an illness of about two weeks. D.H.S. also won the second team game and these boys, coached by Owen Wemhoff, played an equally fine game. Way to go team!

These speeches proved to be quite amusing and it was interesting to see what some people can do with their imagination, if just given a chance. — D. H. S. — A letter was recently received from Cluin Bucher, associate dean of the junior division of Indiana University. The letter stated that Bucher will visit our high school soon to talk with the students who are interested in Indian* University. - D. 11. S. —.
