Entered at the postoffice at Deca tur, Indiana, as second-class matter. A western man. handy with his pencil has figured out that the aver-

age farm wife earns 34,004 but just where do they collect it? The cold snap comes too late to frighten anybody very much. At least it can’t continue more than a few weeks. So far we haven’t had enough winter to permit the ice men to put up a stock of goods and before many months, we will wish they had it, probably. A young lady at Warren, Indiana, criticized the clothes worn by Rev. Mow of the Wesleyan church. That gentleman in replying to her in his sermon last Sunday declared that he could take off his coat, vest and pants and still would have on more

clothes than the young lady • who talked about his wearing apparel. It may be true but there is some doubt as to the propriety of the reverend's remarks even at that. July Ist has been set as moving day at Osborn, Ohio, and it is not an ordinary moving day. Picture men from far and near will he on hands to watch the event for on that date the entire town with its 250 houses and stores will be moved a mile and a half to avoid danger of flood damage. For years the town has been threatened by spring freshets and after a legal controversy continuing several years, the courts have granted the rights to move the town. The legislature has appropriated fifty thousand dollars for a garage for the governor and twenty thousand to furnish his home. Though we rapidly are becoming familiar with lavish expenditures during this “back to normalcy” period, we can’t somehow just understand yet why so much money is needed for garages. Just a year ago it will be remembered the highway commission spent some eighty thousand dollars for a neat little garage and now comes fifty thousand bones for the governor's fordery. No wonder this is to be a twenty million dollar session and no longer need people guess at the reasons for exorbitant taxes. It's an outrage and some day a good many people will pay for it by going

"i into bankruptcy. And it’s all to unnecessary. The 1331 session of the legislature will close within a few days now and r the boys will go home. But few laws r have been itassed and so far as r known these are mainly for the appropriation of money for one purpose , or another. We had hoped and we i know the people have that some efforts would be made that would make tax paying a little easier but on the contrary the record set by this session will break all previous ones. The state law makers following the example of congress have certainly wasted their time up to date and unless they get busy during the closing hours of the session, their record will be a sorry one.

Mr. Harding announces that each cabinet officer will be his own boss and will be accountable only for his results, which sounds very fine but in due time it will be found that each office depends to some extent on the neighbors and that with each decision new enemies are created. There is a “heap” of difference between starting and finishing in public office. Several of the new officials will no doubt make good but if they all do, it will be the first time in the nation's history so don’t expect too much. Moet of the men named on the cabinet are unknown to the public and it’s pretty much of a guess as to what they will do. <

An international dispute over the ' Island of Yap just now is causing t many to ask where and what it is. 1 Yap is a very small island, about ten * miles long, located seven hundred i miles east of the Phillipines, in the 1 Pacific ocean and is an important ‘ spot because of the fact that it is £ touched by so many* cable lines. << Through the league of nations the island was put under a mandate en- c trusted to Japan. Secretary Colby 8 c has sent a note to the league council now assembled in Paris, raising two f Questions, first as to the function c and power of the mandate and sec- z ond as to the particular mandate. c Because of its importance as a cable * center, Mr. Colby insists that Japan should have no special privileges s over the island. These facts should 0 be kept in mind by those who desire s to watch the progress of this very I important world controversy which c may eventually develope into a real 1 a contest. c ’ v CARUSOS BIRTHDAY TODAY t i; (United Press Service* , New York, Feb. 25.' —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Enrico Caruso cele- v brated his forty-eighth birthday by j, showing further improvement in his f condition.

The Daily Democrat’s Newest Improvement ’ • i Ji // // Li I ■' l ’f 11 j B j F / ifef HL ililUr THE NEW MODEL 14 LINOTYPE RECENTLY INSTALLED

With the installing of the new Model 14 Linotype, the Daily Democrat now has a battery of three type-set-ting machines, two model fourteens and a model two. The model 14 is the newest and most up-to-date machine made. This mechanical marvel is specially equipped with a complement of type faces which enables us to serve efficiently the large number of persons who look to our publication for enlightenment and entertainment, and who patronize our job printing department. The rapidly increasing circulation of the Decatur Daily Democrat, together with our desire to place at the command of our advertisers and jisers of printing the highest grade of typography. induced us to add to our mechanical equipment a multiple-maga-zine Linotype for the quick and accurate and pleasing presentation of the news of the day, and the production of superior job work. ' Our new Linotype enables us to set by machine virtually all forms of composition that previously necessitated tedious work by hand. Our plant is now capable of turning out composition consisting of correct type faces in many different sizes, and the change from one size to an other is made by a “twist of the wrist.” In the flicker of an eyelash the versatile operator—whose hand is made famous by the Mergenthaler Linotype company as “the hand that keeps the world informed" —on the versatile machine sets type of the following sizes: six, eight, ten. twelve, fourteen, eighteen and twenty-four point, in both light and dark casts. This installation is a testimonial to the prosperity of Decatur and vicinity. And that the good people of the community are duly appreciative of our efforts to serve them in all departments of the printing business is manifested by the many compliments received from individual patrons since the arrival of our new machine. The accompanying illustfation will give our readers some idea of the

marvelous mechanism of the Linotype, which is a machine on which are assembled matrics (or little brass molds) and lines of type cast —lines such as you are now reading. The particular model of ma chine which we have just installed carries at one time four sets of matrics—controlled from a standard keyboard of ninety keys ant an auxiliary keyboard of twenty-eight—and gives the operator instant command of 56S different characters. Besides enabling the operator to set various faces and sizes of type, our new Linotype makes it possible for him to produce the rules and dashes and borders which are used in various advertisements in each issue of our publication. When employed in the composing of advertisements newspaper headings, booklets, .cat alogues, and various other kinds of printed matter, our new Model 14 en ables one operator to set in the same time more type than ordinarily could be produced by five oA six men or women doing the work by hand —and the composition is incomparably better. While for a long time "we have received the patronage of a host of subscribers, advertisers, and printing buyers in general, we look forward to the handling of an even greater volume' of •business now that we are so well qualified to render the sort cf service most to be desired. Robert Garard, Clarence Cornthwaite and Harold Magley operate the three linotypes at this office, they setting the type for the paper, in addition to that used in our large job printing and general printing department. It has been our aim to present the news of the day in a readable way and to boost for the home community, and we shall continue to devote our efforts and resources to the fulfilling of this aim. And of great help to us in the carrying out of our purpose will be our new Model 14 Linotype. Nothing too large or too small for the Daily Democrat Printery to print.
