In New Hampshire a bill has been introduced in the legislature to provide a commission to investigate homes and see if they're happy. Well, why not? They have commissions to stick their nose in about every thing else. Might as well finish it and then start over. Drivers of trucks and heavy cars should use their best judgment just now when the roads are soft. . Don't haul heavy loads over them. The highway superintendent and his force of assistants are doing all in their power to keep the roads in condition but they are not superhuman and one truck can tear up more road these <!ays than a hundred men could put back in a week. If the ground hog saw his shadow loday he certainly has good eyes, but after all we don't see much to lie joyful over that. The truth is that we need a little cold weather right now to tighten up the roads which are rapidly going to pieces. It’s two months until we can hope for real spring weather and in the meantime the trucks and heavy cars will put the highways in such condition that it will take months to get them back again.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, FEBRU ARY 2.1923

Henry Clews, New York banker and millionaire, who died a day or two ago, will be missed by every newspaper man in the country. For years each Monday morning newspaper men have found a report on financial con ditious of this country, telling how legislation or world events have influenced Wall Street and giving predictions as to result. The reports indicated an honesty of purpose and were appreciated by hundreds who studied them. In another month the session of congress will be over and another several months will have been wasted by those who have power to assist in readjusting affairs and making it easier for the people. They certainly have not done much along that or anv other line, at least so far as the public knows about. The president wants the ship subsidy bill put over ami that's all he seems interested in while congress has taken care of the appropriation bills and that’s where they quit. The people are disgusted and certainly have a right to feel that way about it. WE TALK CHILDREN:— The Shield, desiring to be impartial, has had little to say regarding the various sites offered for our City of Childhood. There have been some wonderful expressions of enthusiasm and good will from the press, from individuals, committees and communities. Perhaps the most wonderful demonstration ever made along this line was made some mdnths ago at Decatur, Ind., on a visit of Yeoman officials to that city. Every man, woman and child in the community was possessed of a spiritual fervor, pentecostal in scope, to serve little children. The affair Was so big, so charged with spirituality, that the editor of the Shield, not being present, has not dared to undertake to describe it. The whole story can be told in a report given by a citizen of Decatur weeks after. Said he: "Ever since the meeting when we meet each other on the streets, we shake hands and talk of children." God will surely make people who think and talk of children very good.—Yeoman Shield.

This strikingly well-worded editorial coming from the official paper of Yeomanry is of itself a great victory for this community. The one desire of those who supported the es-i forts to bring the home to this city I which has "stood out” more than any thing else except the sincere desire to be permitted to help the children of the land, was that of showing the world a community with a genuint spirit of'uniiied faith in mankind and a desire to do big things. This is the only mention ever made in The Shield concerning any possible location other than brief announcements and is certainly conclusive evidence that the efforts of Decatur have been appreciated and recognized by those who know about it. Those who have felt that flic showing made here was organized should try to give such events as those of last April and August in some other community. When you succeed you will know that it is due in the other community to the same real reason as here—a hundred years of right living—and not to the feeble efforts of any one person or number of persons of the present time. In other words the demonstrtP tions here were simply our splendid community talking out loud. We still "talk of children" and we will continue to do so during generations to come because we have the Pentecostal fervor and we can't help it. It's easy to do here and that's the very biggest thing in our favor. ‘‘God makes us good" is a true saying. J. C. Andrews was attending to business in town this morning.

WORK AND SMILE Many pilgrims growl and grumble as they toddle down life's way, and you often hear ’em mumble words that are not nice to say. Though the sun with rays benignant brightens up a dull old earth, hear them shout in tones) Indignant! “Jt's no time for merry mirth. Though today is bright and sunny and all Nature seems to smile, we ll not feel so mortal funny when tomorrow takes the aisle. Storm flood and brisk tornadoes will rampage this vale of tears ami a typhoon from I’arbadoes may engulf us to the ears.” So they mourn from morn till even and methinks some husky skate with an ax should do some eleavin' on each croaker's addled pate. Though today a howling blizzard grips the conn try by the throat, Mister Sun. that rare old wizard will soon start his sunshine boat. Though with profiteers we're burdened and they gouge us all for fair, some day they'll be justly guerdoed and their groans will fill the air. Let us do our daily labors with a smile,'that’s wide and broad; we’ll be mourned by all the neighbors when they tuck us 'neath the sod. Uncle Dud.
