Non-parti an democrats in the city council will look better than non part ison republicans. Try it. This is the time to be nonqiartisan in the same wav and in the same manner that republicans are, only instead of voting a straight republican ticket, scatch the rooster. Next Tuesday is the day, the hour any time between six and six. Bet | ter come early and devote the remainder of the day to convincing your neighbors to support a straight non-partisan democratic ticket.

This non-partisan business is a good thing. If continued it means a duplication of the same non-par-| tisian program that secured the appointment of six non-partisan re publicans as election inspectors. The argument is thin and should not deceive a democrat in the city. Twenty-nine ties in two years, more than was recorded since Deca-' tnr became an incorporated city. They were made by four republican councilmen, all candidates for reelection. every one of them busy telling his “dear constituents” what a good councilman he is and how extremely non-partiscn we should ' be in selecting four councilmen next Tuesday. No more double crossing goes. The voting strength of the prohi bition party in the first ward is one vote, and Ves Peterson the prohibition candidate for council, will likely get the full benefit of that one vole. He is expect ing support from the republic in party, but their rank unt>" aess to prohi Mtion will like* ause this vote to 1 go to the winners—Buhler and LeBrun. Ves will have the proud sat istaction though, of knowing that he received the solid and united support of the prchibs.

Coal Oil Johnny brags about defeating Horace Porter two years ago. Brags about circulating a slander. Brags about putting an • utterance into the mouth of Horace I Porter that was never uttered Brags about what he will do again. When called upon for conclusive proof, he dodges the issue and says so and so told me. Now that is great. Certainly once is enough to convict a man on a false charge. Horace Porter deserves vindication from those who were deceived two years ago, and if vindicated, the laboring men of the second ward will have a stannch and true supporter in the city council.

A story is going the round regarding a farmer who is greatly troubled with absentmindedness. On the way home from town, so the story goes, the thought came to him that he had forgotten something. He took out his notebook, went over every item and checked it off. He saw that he had made all the purchases he had intended. But as he drove on he could not put the feeling aside. When he arrived home and drove up to the house his daughter came to meet him, and with a look of surprise asked: ‘Why, where is ma?” Next Sunday afternoon will be the last practice that the Rosenthals will have before the season opens proper on May eih th, and x it is the earnest request of the management that nil candidates come out again and show their mettle and by the fore part of next week the team will be made known to the public in general and the line up published as the team will play against Celina. The team will carry twelve men and there is no saying but tha 1 - several of the candidates that are now earnestly working will be carried on the staff. None of the candidates should feel discouraged but all should come out and try until the end. The practise game will start promptly at two o'clock, remember the hour. State Statistician Johnson says that the wheat crop will not average more than forty percent of the crop harvested usually in Indiana. He is hearing general complaint from the farmers of the state about the outlook for wheat. Since the reports showing the general ruin of the crop by a hard winter, the wheat has b»>en further damged by dry soil, coupled with cold and delayed spring. Under the cold weather and'dry soil this spring the wheat that was left undamaged has not had the proper conditions to grow and recoup the strenght that

it lost lust winter. Mr. Johnson now has little hope for the wheat. While two weeks ago he thought it possible that with better weather conditions a better wheat harvest would be cut. He further states that this will undoubtedly prove to be one of the greatest corn years Indiana ever saw, as corn is not so suceptible to bad weather and the soil of Indiana is particularly beneficial to its growth.
