A hundred business men will meet tonight at the K. of P. home and that’s the best sign in the world that a community is going forward. When the men get together and work together and stay together—the town is sure to progress. State politcal chairmen do not usually go Into new organizations, take important steps or action without consulting henchmen. It would I be very interesting to know just who advised Lyons to join the Klan and then who advised him to get out. ■ April showers are here, aud while I there will, no doubt, be a month of I disagreealde weather before the sunshine of May comes with her spring i flowers, you can begin to really talk about spring being near, and that, helps the fellow who has beer. , shoveling coal all winter, some. ■■ ■ u Harry C.

All should, hear it and till should join in extend 1 ing to this distinguished citizen, a! hearty and sincere welcome. He' likes Decatur and her attitude ami’ he comes to learn for himself first I hand what kind of people we are• and whether we are sincere. Let there be no doubt in his mind. If Law rence Lyons is ousted as re-1 publican state chairman or resigns as requested, it is said Lawrence Cart-[ right, of Portland, will be a candi-' date for the place. It's a queer thing that the fellows who seek tins job are interested in furnishing stone' or brick or concrete to the state. Os, course., it may be just an accident and perfectly alright, but it does appear unusual that they should tak ' such an interest in those jobs which' bring no recompense. Most of the witnesses against Mayor Johnson in Lite recent conspiracy case were men who had been arrested by orders of the mayor and some of them many times.

—. _ — naya: 'Tf the Y-itnrsm tor the gov eminent are to be believed” am that might be taken to iudicatt some doubt. Mayor Johnson laoiotx . he has been a “square shooter" ani '. offers to prodine the evidence ol the ministers, educators and leading business men of Gury to substanti ate him. Plant a garden, plant trees, plant I shrubs. We should all help to pro- [ duce new things. It helps in a huni dred ways and make us all happier [ because it helps to beautify the I world. Nature is grand and you cun h»>lp to make It grander and you will enjoy It. Now is the time when you will find the bulbs and grass beginning to shoot through the ground, the leaves are getting ready to bud. It's spring and it's time to plant. April 13th is the week in Indiana tor tree planting and It is urged that everyone plant a tree or a shrub that week. Will you do it? Twenty people were killed on Easter Sunday and more than two hun dred seriously injured as the result of automobile accidents throughout the country. There should be no further argument needed, that, it is up to each individual who drives a ear to. use the greatest care. It is more dangerous than any other tiling we do, and the reckless driver i - taking away much of the pleasure for others. The campaign to bring greater degree of safety, should be i entered into with the greatest ernest- • ness by every official and every citi- | : en. And in this connection don’t J forget that the fault is not always i with the driver. Boys playing in the treets. adults crossing the street diagonally when and where they wish, > who stop and dodge and “jaywalk"— I make it harder for the driver. The i pedestrian also owes some thought to making the traffic problem easier I: nd can help a great deal. Care taken of improved roads • ! early in the spring, while the frosts are coming out of the ground and ain is plentiful, will go far coward ■eugthening the life of pavements. Experts in road construction hold I that where no care is taken to pre- ' -ent it, more damage is done in the pring months than in all the rest of l'he year. Michigan is setting a good ! example in this regard, encouraging , local interest in the preservation of ; gravel and macadam roads, and es- , tablishing rules looking toward it. Authorities have decreed that the ' carrying capacity of tires shall be limited at this season to one-half the carrying capacity allowed by law in ordinary times. No ♦chicle is allow . <‘d to be operated upon the highways when the gross weight exceeds seven and one-half tons. Speed also is restricted. It is coming to be comconly understood that a pavement will stand up much longer if given ' constant attention. This care costs i the taxpayers Iss than the eonstrucI tion of new roads or the extensive repairs necessary on highways cusomarily neglected. The spring campaign for preservation should commend itself to any region interested in keeping road costs down. —Goshen News-Times.

———— The People’s Voice — REMENISCENCE OR JUST AS IT HAPPENED Bobo, Ind.. March 28, 11'231 Dear Democrat: — This date—March 28th—reminds; I , . I me of when I was in a primitive - date. It was then when I met the I ■ sweetest, fairest lady I ever met and apparently we were lovers at once for she took me in her arms and kissed me and I. did not know enough to return the courtesy. She at once adopted me as her own. The contract she proposed was that I should work tor my board which 1 took kindly to but when I wanted my ration and it happened to not be ready I rattled my larnyx bah-bah-but when I had my stomach full 1 sang coo-coo-Another obligation this dear sweet lady assumed was to dos my washing and mending, the latter being the lesser, but never a word of complaint from her. And so I prospered and grew up to be-a strong, healthy boy \ with a pair of red cheeks and as full of mischief as a young dog but this sweet lady remained steadfast and true until her spirit was taken Home. Sweet is the memory of her. Later it happened the other ladies seemed interested in me some but I was too bashful and peeped at them through my lingers but finally one of these ladies conspired to go me one

i better than my good former friend so ' 1 let her “boss” me fifty years. In I 1881 we migrated from Boliver, | Lawrence township, Tuscaftiwas 'county. Ohio, a country highly iin- ' proved and with fertile soil but when 1 we arrived here we found the bottom' •out of the roads so I bought a pair. !of rubber boots and walked from : near Ilivarre to Decatur and back , with two baskets of heavy groceries and a jug of syrup. Os course it was I only ten miles of a walk. While making one of these trips in 'Bl I found a wagon mired just east of the Ed Ahr house. The wagon was down 1 in mud and the box afloat over it. Another time I found a buggy mired near the river bridge with four men and two -fence rails lifting the buggy • out to clear the road. A two horse wagon stuck on the square iu front I of the Old Adams County bank. I There were no buggies or autos then .

To sittend the last day of school. To eat greens. They are excellent spring tonic. To uncover the strawberry bed and to cultivate between the rows. To plant shrubs around the house. It is almost unbelievable how much more attractive they make the home lawn. To put some good insecticide on the currant and gooseberry bushes. If worms get a start they can soon ruin a crop. To give the children a small plot for vegetables and flowers. It will teach them agriculture, stimulate industry and develop an interest in the home. To hatch the chickens for next winter’s laying flock, if they have not been hatched earlier. Later hatching means retarded development, and consequently delayed fall laying. To keep your eyes open for lice 'and mites. Don't let them get a start. They multiply rapily during the warm days. Use plenty of kerosene to spray and paint, and dust with lice ixtwder —Farm Life.

BUB LUMBAGO OB BACKACHE AWAY Kikneys cause bachacltc! No! Lis-' ten! Your bacliache is caused by lumbago. sciatica, or a strain, and the quickest relief is soothing, ]>enetrating St. Jacobs Oil. Rub it right on your painful back, and instantly the soreness. stiffness and lameness disappears. Don't stay crippled! Get a small trial bottle of St. Jacobs Oil from your druggist and limber up. A moment after it is applied you'll wonder what became of the backache or lumbago pain. Rub old, honest St. Jacobs Oil when ever yon have sciatica, neuralgia, rheiimatism or sprains, as it is abso lately harmless and doesn't burn the skin.

A Personal Experience With Standard Oil “Chicago, March 7.— I read with a great deal of i n . terest the editorial, “Shall Ruin Be the Penalty of Success " in connection with the report of the senate committee attacking the various Standard Oil companies. I want to take this opportunity of relating my personal experience with the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. , Having changed from a coal to an oil burning furnace I was in the market for fuel oil, and after figuring with several oil companies I dosed a contract with the Standard Oil of Indiana, simply because their contract was more liberal and advantageous to me in every way. I secured cheaper oil, better oil, and first class service." D. G. Moustakxs The letter reprinted above appeared in the Voice of the People columns of a Chicago newspaper, March 9,1923. Cheaper oil — better oil — and first class service. That, in terse simple terms, expresses the ideals which have made the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) big. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is big because it is called upon to render a big service. Its financial statement deals in big figures because it does an enormous volume of business in a multiplicity of products entering innumerable fields of industry. Because the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) manufactures a great number of useful products from a “ingle basic material, it is able to cut the manufacturing cost of each item in away that accrues to the benefit and financial advantage of the consumer whether he buys a quart or a carload.
