Two new houses will at least be erected in’ Decatur this spring, the Home Builders’ association having awarded the contract yesterday The ice has been broken. Let’s keep the ball rolling and build at leas! fifty houses tills year. They will b< occupied the minute they are ready for occupancy. If Decatur is going to have a band this year it will soon be time to start one. Sufficient talent is here to form a good band and a number of local men are willing to give their time and attention to the organization. Music is the spice of life, as the saying goes and we believe everyone likes a little of it. Hi Johnson is cutting another caper in New Jersey, much to the disgust of the Wood backers. , Senatoi Harding carried Ohio over she general and now his managers and supporters are turning their attention to Indiana. Harding will get a big vote in Indiana, it is believed and will prevein the general from obtaining a plurality. Those young Americans who readily responded to the idea of having a "clean up week” in Decatur are the right kind of fellows for they show that they take an interest.in their city, they want it to look spick and spand and want visitors to form a good impression of Decatur. Well come on boys, clean-up week will start bright and early Monday morning and we are sure you can keep busy clearing the alleys of tins and other rubbish. It took less than six hours to try th.- nineteen year old negro who criminally assailed and murdered the little founeon year old white girl in Indianapolis last week. He was found guilty by the jury in twen-

He will be the first man to die tn the electric chair in this state and society in general will be better off after the button is pressed. We sincerely hope thut the owners ind directors of the Schafer Saddlery company will decide to rebuild heir factory iu Decatur. The con corn has been a progressive one and it gave emplojment to at least, thir y-five people. It is true that a maority of these employees will be orced to seek other employment luring the time that the owners ot the company decide on their future dans and also during the time the factory is being erected, should they ‘ake such action, but we are sun-

hat in view of the high busines. e principles practiced by this well known concern and the consideratior E riven their employees, that they would be glad to return to their ’ormer places if needed. Decatu vants you to stay. The two lumber companies in thi: ity have been conducting a si? I weeks' advertising campaign through he columns of the Daily Democrat in he interest of building, setting forth the fact that they have enough mater al to build houses and that the price >f building material compared to ither articles has not advanced in proportion. We are not arguing the benefits derived from advertising, but we wish to remind those who •ontemplate building this year, but who are holding off under the im-j pression that they cannot get mater j ial, that they take up the matter with ! (fie two lumber companies in Deca I tur. We are fortunate in having I such concerns in this city and if they' can keep a sufficient stock of lumber in their yards, it will solve one of the biggest and most important problems facing the people of this city today—the fact that Decatur ■ must build houses this year. It is a known fact that Decatur is a big "Saturday night” town. There’ is no fault with that. As much busi- - tress is transacted by the local stores during a few hours on Saturday evening as is done in one or, two days in the week. The trading' people know that the stores remain open and they have become accusI lomed to put off their buying until I Saturday night. Why not make one or two evenings during the week as big as Saturday night If the farmers and working men knew that the ■ stores were open and that they could ; make their purchases during the week, we believe Decatur merchants ;

i could do as much business during the i week as on Saturdays and that it would not injure their week-end sales. One plan would be to give a band concert ou Wednesday or Thursday night, keep the stores open and invite the farmers aud the laboring people to "come in ' and enjoy the conert and also do their trading.

teams 11 ! Are Not Very Numerous i Among the High Schools Now —Track Teams ■ ARE MORE POPULAR Tennis Will Be Played by More High School Teams Than Ever Before. — (By Heze Clark. Written for United Press.) Indianapolis, April 28. —In no place can the followers of athletics learn what is really doing among the high schools of Indiana better than in the sporting gocxis stores of Indianapolis There the college and high school managers gather every time they are in the city, and there the clerks dis cum the reports of athletic victories and the reports of the performance of some star athlete or fast baseball team. The mail of these sporting goods dealers received from some 434 high schools in all parts of the state almost always contains some information in regard to the various schools prospects for a winning team. It is in (he sporting goods stores that the advance information on the strength of the athletic teams is most surely 1/irned. aud Indianapolis has thir teen companies that sell athletic goods. Baseball Is popular but the early closing of many of the high schools of the state prevents these schools from having baseball teams accord into Bob Sturm, one of the members of a sporting goods company. Many of the schools close May 1, and there It* very little chance to play baseball be

fore that date in Indiana unless it is played in snow shoes or canoes Stum declares that the expense of outfitting a baseball team also stands in the way of high schools having a nine. He points out that track athletes are cheaper and therefore more popular. Sturm said his company*had sold track athletic clothing, shoes and equipment to more than sixty Indiana high schools this year while only about fifteen high schools has purchased baseball uniforms and outfit.-,. He said three high schools besides the Indianapolis high schools were reported to have strong baseball teams. Those three are Franklin. Columbus, and Shelbyville. Sturm deviat'd that Martinvllle. Rushville. Summitsville and Roachdale would be strong in track and field athletics this season. It also was mentioned that Brazil high school was starting a tennis team for the first time this year. R 1,. Beck, another company, picked Anderson. Patteraburg and Washing ton as the high schools which would go big in the track meets this year He said that Evansville and New Castle each had strong baseball teams and that Itoth had track teams. Wayne Emmehnan of the Em-Roe sporting goods company selects Rochester. Goshen. Evansville. Sheridan, high s. holds, and the Spiceland Academy, as the prep schools that will have the strongest track teams this , year. Kewawna high school is Emmelman's choice as the strongest high school baseball team in Indiana, this season. Tennis, he declared, will be played by more high school athletes than ever before. Kokomo. Muncie and Marion high school athletes will all have tennis teams, and all the Indianapolis schools will as usual be represented by fast athletes in the net game.

NEWSPRINT PAPER CONSUMPTION FAR EXCEEDS PRODUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES Consumption of newsprint paper in the United States has increased 21 per cent, in the last five years, during which period domestic production of the commodity has shown a gain of ohly 6 per cent., according to a survey of the newsprint paper situation published in the May Commerce Monthly, the magazine of the National Rank of Commerce in New York. Although the present acute newspaper shortage is partly due to greatly increased use of paper in newspaper advertising, this lack of a normal increase in production is one of the principal causes of the stringency, the bank says. Coal contains drugs, dyes, fertilizers! and other valuable ingredients, all of which are consumed in the fire without adding to the hear. The next advance will be the extraction of these hidden values before the coal is turned over for fuel uses. s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—$— $—S
