May Ist to May Sth—that's tho CLEAN-UP WEEK in Decatur. Some of the folks are not waiting but are busy now and will have every bit of rubbish ready when the wagons call to haul it away. Do a little planting, use a little paint, help make this the best-looking town in the state. We can do it, and with good fetrong pull and a work-together spirit, we will. The governors of Michigan and lowa have defeated laws to add a two cent per gallon gasoline tax to the burdens of the people by vetoing the bills, in Indiana, there seems to be a fixed idea that the people will stand for any old thing, grin and bear it and keep on voting fdt - those who put it over. Perhaps so, and perhaps the will turn one of these days, and when they do, it’s going to be worth while. # jrorßheumatisni The most persistent rheumatic twinges yieki to Sloans. , Sloans LfrumeisS-Ai/Zs pain!

For a uumbsr of years thia community bus' worked together, and the spirit of complete, and sincere eo-operatiou has attract- I ed wide attention. That’s the only) way in work and we should ’ do nothing which will In any way Interfere with that purpose. A community torn apart gets no where, while, on the other Iwind a city and county in which the citizens pull together, always goes forward. Do not tear down the work of years to secure this feeling. Wo have a peace | loving and law-abiding people, and we need no organization to maintain order here. Please bear these facts in mind. The people of this county are, of course, greatly worried and exercised over the mysterious and sad disappearance of their beloved and admired judge, John C. Moran. Either because of ill health or because of

foul play, he has been lost to this I community to which his presence means much. The thousands of friends for whom he has labored, for whom he would have willingly sacri I fired himself and his best efforts at any time, are anxious to assist in th- search within their human pow er. Every possible clue is being followed and there will be nothing left undone to discover his whereabouts, and if alive, to restore him to health. The helplessness of us all is tbo hardest part of the affair. President Harding is for the world | ct uri. Will Woods, Jim Watson, j S-nator Lodge and many others, to j the contrary, notwithstanding. He: addressed the editorial meeting in 1 New York a day or so ago and explained his position clearly and in such a manner that it is safe to say h- cannot or will not attempt to back up. This means, of course, strong opposition for the forces opposed to the court are much the -anie as the organization which a few years ago destroyed the power ■f President Wilson. Mr. Harding Will be older and will know he lias had a real battle if he succeeds in getting anywhere with his proposed plan. The president also declared his preference for a strong merchant marine, which means he will insist

un a ship subsidy and he is also favorable to the primary, but believes 1 party restrictions as to voting should Ibo strengthened. From this speech. I issues will begin to form and the ' great election contest of next year will be organizing. The Oklahoma legislature has before it a bill that provides for the licensing of journalists and newspa per men by a commission, which not only would have a power to issue licenses to workers who could pass I the state test, but also to cancel such licenses. One cause for cancellation would be responsibility for the writing or printing of any news item, editorial or report that could be characterized as immoral or degrading. In New York, Justice Ford became irritated because his daughter bought a novel in which he found what he regarded as immoral passages. He wishes a law under which a book may be banned if it contains a single immoral line. New York newspapers

j opposing the bill say that such tin act would stop the sale of the Bible ami Shakespeare. The big Question in both New York and ( lates to the doubtful proposal to place final power in a group or commission. Undoubtedly some novels have gone beyond the bounds oft decency and good taste, but nearly every state has a law agaipst the publication of obscene matter and iit would seem that to enforce such ■ laws would be better than to pass new ones creating boards or commissions.—lndianapolis News. —.,0 Inner Secrets of House of David Related (Continued From Page One.) facts regarding the history and teachings of the House of David were learned by the investigators: The colony, -owning some of the richest fann kind in Berrien county, ha ; its headquarters on the outskirts of Benton Harbor. The eight hundred members live in three huge buildings — Bethlehem houses, the women; Jerusalem, the men and Shiloh. ”KMg'“ Benjartfln and his retinue. The House of David code has provided for marriage among its children since 1910, but decrees that until the ingathering of the colony from the four corners of the world is complete and the blood of the children of Israel is cleansed of inherited sin, there must be no marital relations — no children. As far as known no children have | ever been born in the colony. Memi bers of the cult supposed to have I transfressed these regulations were banished publicly. Most of tha time of the colony ■ workers is spent on the targe farm i which produces most of the income j for the upkeep of the organization. The House of David also owns High Island, a lumber camp in Lake Michigan, which has been a fruitful source of revenue. When punished some members are sent to the island. A baseball team, which despite i whiskers and long hair, is one of the I crack amateur clubs of the midwest. 10C0 Room* uth Rate* 44 room, Mi iSM fl ■CS23O 174 rooms "HjikujuS 2Tt rooms n in CHICAGO te Hurt »f du I Convenient to all theaterm mdway ttatioae, tha retail aa* wholesale districts, by living at tha ■SB weSSkwMBFKrsERyicE I j I 111 Hriii -liiiiiiiftl

Tucker, looking more like a girl with haid down his back In two braids, than his child wife, Rosa, stoutly defended the name of Benjamin. ’ John said he was 19, but his chin . didn't even show any fuzz.

I do not think it will con vince the American people either.” Watson regarded Mr. Harding's speech as a fine broad gesture which permitted him to tell his side of the story and predicted that from now on much less will be heard about world court issues from the president. Traction Magnate With One Car Makes It Pay Randolph, Mass., April 25. —One man —perhaps another Jim Hill in the making—now owns and operates the live mile trolley line between here and Stoughton. • When the Eastern Massachusetts Street railway discontinued service because it did not pay, Raymond French. 22, then one of the company's carmen. leased the line, bought three shabby, old cars and began operation of his now famous one-man traction system. He has the hearty support of the citizens of both the towns he serves. French not only meets all the trains, but the school children, as well. He sees that they get across the streets safely and does a little shopping for the mothers as part of his policy of "real service.” In the evening when the kiddies are abed, mothers and fathers go away to the movies in French's car and lie brings them home when the town closes up for the night. As president, board of directors, superintendent, starter, repairman, switchman and section hand, French decided that to make his line pay he would have to inaugurate a freight and express service. Now he carries anything from a can of sardines to trunks and bags of flour. He shops for busy mothers ami gets cigars for lathers who can't leave home at night. much to the satisfaction of all. French's income is steadily increastig and although he is not yet in the millionaire class, he is making a com- : sortable living. His weekly revenue averages $l5O, I lie says, tff that amount about S4O i a week goes for power, supplied by I netew, and he pays two mediates who I help keep the cars running. $25 a week each. What remains goes goes ! into the bank to the credit of Ray--1 mond French, traction magnate ex- • traordinary. Many factories in Germany, formerly engaged in the manufacture of explosives, are uow busy making artificial silk. 1 ■" I _ THEOUVE GLYCERINE SOAP THAT FLOATS U The latest development E of the soap maker's art — the one olive glycerine g snap that floats.

BANK OF SEKVICI Safeguarding Your Money A noted economist, has recently said that the easiest thing to do in America is to make money and the hardest thing to do is to keep it. Statistics show that out of one hundred men starting equally at age twenty that thirty will be well to do at age forty but that at titty-five all but two will have lost their fortunes. The large percentage of those who lose their fortunes is due to unwise investments outside of the lines which they know and against the advise of competent financial authorities.
