Business may be a little dull, but not for the ice man. A firm or individual who does not advertise is like the chick that dies in the shell—it's dead. If the coal mines will supply all the coal the country needs this winter if the cars are provided, why not send a couple thousand of the empties there at once? Decatur received quite a bit of publicity over the plan of spraying the kiddies with the tire hose. Wouldn't It be fine if the papers were talking about the cool bathing pool Decatur had for the children? Lemons are selling as high as six cents each, while the margin of the retail dealer is very small. Some commission man or broker must have a "corner” on them and as the demand grows is taking advantage of the opportunity. Too bad the Indiana farmers cant grow lemons.

ing ordinance and further ads that it is causing a lot of trouble. For the benefit of the Witness editor we wish to inform him that the council has not passed such an ordinance, as could plainly bo seen Saturday night from the number of automobiles parked along the streets and that about the only trouble we saw was in a pedestrian trying to get across the thoroughfare. If such un ' ordinance was passed it would be done with the idea of preventing accidents and surely no one could be criticised for that. President Harding has sent out an informal invitation to the governments of Great Britain, France. Italy and Japan to participate in a conference with the United States on the disarmament question. The step is a good one and the people of this and the European countries will no doubt welcome any plan which will curtail military and naval expenditures and cut down the cost | of government. But the Versailles treaty provided for disarmament and it looks as if a couple of years have been thrown away when the countries could have mapped out a program and disarmed, had the senate ratified the peace treaty when it should. Since this time is now lost it is hoped that another year will find the European countries together with the United States disarming to the core in answer to the appeal and yearnings of a tax burdened people. The suggestion of the councilmeu to mark the streets for parking purposes and to employ a traffic policeman on Saturday afternoons and evenings at the Monroe and Madison street crossings are worthy of consideration. It is the tendency at present to park the automobiles in a straight line alongside of the curb, one right back of the other and the owner or driver of a car encounters much difficulty in trying to get his car out of the jam. Many cities have the parking spaces or "stalls" i painted on the street at about an , angle of forty to forty-five degrees , and this enables the driver to get ! his machine and drive away without much trouble. Traffic here on Saturdays is heavy and a few traffic cops at the principal corners would no doubt help relieve the congestion and eliminate the chances of accidents. Second street is free to those who want to park their automobiles there, but a few regulations governing it may avoid a serious accident in the future. MOTHER-IN-LAW SAID HE WAS TOO POOR TO MARRY (United'F.-ess Service) New York, July 12. — (Special to Daily Democrat)—Cupid was given beating by H. C. L. today when it was learned Hint Lieut. A. L.

CLAIMED HE FURNISHED COFFEE AND MEAT After twenty-eight years of married life, during which time life had been anything but happy, Mrs. James Worden, 1118 Barthol street, caused the arrest of her husband on a charge of intoxication Sunday. In court Monday morning she told how her husband would not assist in her support and how cruel he often was when under the influence of intoxicants. Mrs. Worden declared thatthe only'money she received for the support of herself and children came from the children and what she could earn herself. Worden took immediate offense at this and told how he was having a hard time to sup port himself and how he had "several times taken home coffee and a little meat.” Judge Moungovan became indignant and ordered Worden held foi ten days during which. time charges of non-support probably will be brought against him., -r Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.

He said the s trouble with the people of this oh e world lies in the fact that they do not e know their Bible, and that before wt can get right we will have to get back to that good old book. “Yor hear all this talk about harnessing Ni agara and electricity, but you can’t ’■ do anything with Niagara and Niagara don’t want you to do, and you can’t do anything with electricity that 1 electrcity don’t want you to do.” The same law applies to the Bible. You 1 can pick out passages of scripture here and there, and you can try to make the new testament your reiig- '■ ion. but you don’t get very far unless l " you know the old testament. You can not build < substantial building un 0 less the cornerstone or base is solid; 1 and if you haven't got the base (old l ' testament) in your biblical knowledge : you might just as well give up. Dr. Rader is giving his time traveling over tiie country in an effort to B impress upon the people that they 1 must get back to Bible truths to set this old world again on the right ’ track. He is doing the work without 1 a cent of pay to himself, tiie church board only asking a free-will offering that his expenses be paid and tb 1 salary of a chemist in his laboratory 1 be paid while he is away, if there 1 is any amount left after this is done, it is turned into the hospital fund in the district where lie happens to be lecturing. In this district it goes to 1 the Hope-Methodist hospital at Fort 1 Wayne. CLUB WORK AIDS SCHOOL FUND. I The boys’ and girls’ clubs of Faulkner County, Ark., have raised sll3 during the year and have deposited - the sum in the bank as a nucleus fund toward building a new schoolhouse. This club made a wonderful record in 1920, and it has stood alone as far as \ help from the community is concerned, for not even the parents at the 1 year indorsed the movement. The boys and girls have won out and tiie parents are now very proud of the organization. THE SHEEPMAN’S SONG Ba- Ba! Sheepman, have you any wool? Yes, Mr. Harding, three bags full.

There’s a I’NITED PRESS telegraph wire which leads directly into the Daily Democrat oilier\t the end of this wire there is a little sounding-box called a resonator ► Beside this sounding-box sits a U. P. operator listening to the clicking, clicking resonator. As he listens to the click-click-click of the Morse code, he typewrites the messages which come over the wire. ' From Europe, from Asia, from South America, as well as from hundreds of points on the North American continent, come speeding the telegrams which you read in the Decatur Daily Democrat. As each message is typewritten, an oilice boy grabs the printed sheet and hands it to the telegraph editor, who writes a headline for it and instantly decides its relative importance to the other messages he has received. The boy then hurries to the composing room where the news item is set in type. A few minutes later vou may be reading a message from Paris or London or Lisbon—a cablegram which was written and filed perhaps only thirty or forty minutes before. the I Nil ED PRESS covers the world and through this newspaper you speedily learn everything of importance winch lias taken place in every corner of the globe.
