To many Indiana people this was an important date. The fishing season came in today and hundreds of men and boys, women and girls, Hocked to the lakes to take a fling at bass and blue gills for these have been tabood under the laws of the state since the middle of April. From now on you can catch all you can with hook and line, remembering the (en inch limit on bass. Queer as it may seem fishing is one of the sports of boyhood days which does not leave us as we grow older in years, in factit seems to grow on trs and when the-

The sear son is on. —— r Last November Charles Worrell and r two companions bound, gagged and robbefl Mrs. Martha, Shoredon of near 4 Fort Kayne, taking S6OO in cash and ) several thousand dollars worth pf val t (table papers. He confessed und * later withdrew the confession. Yester- , day he was convicted and sentenced ) to prison from ten to twenty one 1 years. He wept like a child it is feported. The funny thing is that a big strong man can attack an aged woman. torture her and rob her and smile bpt when he has to pay therefore by suffering he becomes a child again. Unfortunately he leaves a family of several children and a wife who needs his support. If wy had a law whereby thfs man would work ten or twelve hours a day and the money go back to his family. It would be better for everyone concerned. Decatur will put on a Yeomen day that will we believe surprise even the organizers and directors of that order and the founders of the plan for taking care of unfortunate children of members. We are due for a big celebration here anyway and this is a ;nl< hdhl opportunity to give one. In-■ideht.-flly we are very confident that

if present plans afe carried out we' will take a long and definite step towards landing the home. We be lieve in the cause and we know that if the home comes here the community will benefit greatly but are also sure that the high ideals to t>e demonstrat ed in the proposed celebration will make everyone who participates bet ter for so doing. The committee will work out the plans to the best oi their ability and the support of every man, woman and child in the county is urgently requested that the day maybe the success desired. Most all of us earn more money than is required to take care of our actual needs, but too many of us fail to lay aside something for that inevit able rainy day. We think too much of life of the present, not enough as it will be in the future, which has been well illustrated by several newspaper dispatches of the last few days. A Detroit lawyer, who never made less than IKW.OOO a year for three decades re ports that he is bankrupt. His wife and children are wondering where the next meal is coming from. A man who earned big wages during the war and who had a new automobile each year is now borrowing money to meet hospital expenses while he undergoes a minor operation. A southern planter who earned more than a good living and who had enough money to own a string of race horses a few years ago died last week in poverty. A song writer who composed some of the most popular melodies of the past two decades and who received weekly roy alties of 1250, died last week in the poor house. The man who salts some money away each week may not be particularly popular with the boys—but he is acting wisely. The man who lives within his income may not be elected president of the rounders' club—but he is making provisions for the day ahead. The man who denies himself a luxury in order to provide against the rainy day may not be known as a good fellow—but he will have some njriijey ip ihe '.future when his spendthrift associates;' are Iworrying about their finances. —Kendallville News-Sun. —.— o— Claude Harvey from south of Decattfr was here today. J. C. Walters who lives east of Decatur was in this city today. i Herman Ulman from east of town was Decatur on business today.

MARINE BILL GIVEN FAVOR BY COMMITTEE (Continued from page one) it comes on the floor and it was believed that their vote, joined with •he virtually solid democratic opposition would spell certain defeat for the bill. A counter proposal is being brought forth by Representative Edmonds, Pennsylvania, chairman in charge of the sub committee forming the met chant marine, who previously introduced a bill to legalize the sale of liquor on all American ships. He now proposes to impose a maximum fine of SIO,OOO on any ship, foreign or American, which sells liquor on a voyage beginning or ending at an American port. A third violation would prohibit the ship from again entering an American port. S. W. Hale of Geneva was a business visitor here today and called on friends.

LABOR LEADERS REGARD STRIKE AS INEVITABLE (Continued from page one) is the only thing that can prevent a paralyzing transportation tie up, a railroad union spokesman told the Upfted Press today. Furthermore, it was stated, the unions would insist on assurances that the labor board would require the railroads to agree to "full and free” conferences on adjustment of disputes over wages and working conditions. Some of the union leaders here representing the 11 shop crafts and maintenance of way workers believe President Harding will avert the strike, at fast moment by using his influerice to have the labor board hold up the'pay reductions which were ordered for July 1. With the unions voting overwhelm--1 ingly for a strike, according to announcement from union headquarters ! here, the leaders are formally and 1 publicly on record as refusing to ac- • cept responsibility for the strike. s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s
