It's a little early but not one bit too soon according to reports which have come to this office. Lima is getting much publicity from a new drink with a “kick” called "Ha, ha." If it's like some of them a fellow's only laugh would come before he imbibed and they say he laughs best who laughs last. U's a wonder that some of these fellows who kill their children, wife or some other relative or friend and then themselves don't occasionally turn it around and kill themselves first. That would save some of the trouble aud grief. The zero weather seems to be over and the temperature has started on an upward climb that wilt probably be about right in a day or two aud then something else. March might bo worse but we don't know just what brand it would mix up to do it. About six hundred ludiaua high schools including Decatur, Monroe. Berne, Geneva, Kirkland aud Hartford have already decided that Vin cennes will have to go some next year to retain the title won after a struggle last Saturday. The next time W. H. Settle of the farmers organizations is assured of something from a politician he is going to insist on a bond. He carried out his part but those with whom he dealt seemed to think they* could get by without doing it and they did temporarily. It is perhaps within the law that most of the state funds be deposited in the banks at Kentland where McCray lives, Kokomo where Davies, state treaturer lives and Brooks where Lyons, state republican chairman lives, but it listens bad for a public officer has no right or privilege to direct the power of his office to his own personal advantage. Officers should be instructed to arrest drivers of cars who drive at a mad pace about town. It is not unusual to sec a car dash down Second street at a rate of thirty miles an hour, violating not only the city ordinance but the state laws as well. Do you realize that when an accident occurs when you are violating a law you immediately become guilty of manslaughter if it results fatally? Why take the chance? 11 "" “HERE IN DECATUR” Many people have been bencntfc'l by ORIGINAL VINOL.

This is a good Uma to get bold of a seed catalog and plan what you will do this aummer. A few dollars expended now will beautify your yard and make the city look much more , inviting and a few cents will bring you seed enough to plant a good sized patch of ground which will produce more vegetables than you use. One editor says there is more exercise iu a hoc than in a golf club aud it is more profitable aud that's Ute sure enough truth. Mr Harding will be a candidate for renominatiou. Attorney General Daugherty says so aud he knows. There is some opposition but it won’t get far for if Mr. Harding has made good he deserves the credit and if he hasn't he must stand for his own errors. Harding will be the republican nominee aud those who are not in accord with his policies will have to support him any way or vote ihe democratic ticket, unless the much talked of third party gets a going. It looks like we might need a rest on politics for a year for the campaign next year will wage hot and furious. One of Hie best known citizens of Decatur who lives otq Monroe street reported that while coming down ■treet tills morning he saw an Oakland car go west past the Methodist church at a rate of forty miles an sour, saw a Ford going as fast, as it could, saw two narrow escapes by pedestrians and one car turning in from a side street had to stop dead still to avoid a collision. The auto season is just opening and the attention of every citizen and every official is called to the fact that a little precaution at this time may put the sofi] pedal on to such an extent that lives will be saved. Drive slower and keep control of jour car. Racing on ihe roads or street is the most dangerous thing you can do and it must

be stopped. - • YES or NO? A Tot of Your Intolllgono* t> The correct answer to one of these questions is YES, to the other NO. STOP TO THINK! questions Answered Tomorrow 1.

SOYBEAN STUBBLE LAND i ~ Good for Wl cat; Produced Two to Six Bushels More than Corn Stubble Soybean stubble land is an idea) place to sow wheat, in ten years experience in experiment fields in different parts of Indiana on several different types of soil we have had uniformly good success with wheat seeded on soybean stubbio ground. In comparison with corn and oats stubble, tlie soybean stubble has in all cases produced more and better wheat. On the Purdue University farm at LaFayette. the yield of wheat during the last six years has averaged 30.1 bushels per acre after soybeans and 25.2 bushels after corn with the same fertilization. During tlie last nine years on the North Vernon experimental field, wheat after soybeans bus averaged 3.2 bushels more per acre than after corn on prepared stubble ground. This year the difference was buslicls. On the Worthington experimental field during the same period, the difference has averaged two bushels in favor of the soybean ground. On tin- Huntington field last year tlie wheat yields were 32.2 bushels after soybeans; 26.6 bushels after corn aud 24.2 buslicls after oats. The effect of the soybean upon tile

land Is much the same as that of clover and we commonly use it as a subatitute crop when clover fails. The soybeans leave tho ground in excellent condition for wheat and u light double-disking will prepare a good seed bed. We strongly recommend the seeding of wheat after soybeans. —— • WOMAN LIKE THE OLD LOVE SONGS (United Press Service) Colorado Springs, Mar. 19 —"Community sings" ure peculiar tilings, says 11. O. Mitchell, leader of community sings in the Pike's Peak region. For instance, lots of people go to these sings and then don't warble a note, he says. • | And at luncheon given by various clubs "stunt” songs are in demand, rather than old time melodies or the popular airs. When the woman get together for a sing, and there are no men present the favorite airs are the old love songs of lung ago, according to Mitchell. But the mixed sings, where botli nun and woman arc present, are made up almost entirely of the very latest popular airs. Woman, alone, sing much better than the male songsters when the latter get together for an evening of music. The hardest thing of all. Mitchell points out. is to get a crowd to sing softly. Everyone seems to want to his or her lungs at tin- limit of their ca pacify.
