What's world coining to? Prince Albert of England marries a girl from the upland#; just an ordinary girl without any royal blood lines in her ami England takes a holiday, and everybody drinks a little ale, and some drink more, and the wedding cake was fourteen feet high and sevtn and a half feet in circumference and didn't go around. The painters will join with the progressive merchants in efforts to give Decatur the right kind of appearance downtown. With ornamental lights, newly painted fronts, freshly trim Hied windows, removal of the old town pump, replacing the old wood awnings and otherwise fixing up a little, we will have the best appearing city of live thousand in the whole country.

This is "Cleanup Week," and you are expected to get busy if you have not already fixed up the old lot. The wil be general over the city | and will include painting of the telephone and light posts, ornamental lights, hauling away of rubbish and litany other improvements. liesides, we are all going to paint up and give , the old town the appearance of a ; leal place, well kept and well cared tur - Sorrow was written on every face , during the funeral hours of Judge Noran this morning. It is doubtful If there was ever a more depressing time in this community than the past , ten days. Expressions of sincerest tuuypathy for the bereaved have been ■ numerous and have, no doubt, helped the loved ones to bear the terrible loss and shock, but we should not , forget to continue that sympathy during the years to come in a helpful Way. That's what John Moran would Lave done.

Senator Bob LaFollette is making a terrible roar about the proposed entrance of the United States into the World Court. He runs off thus: ‘'This world court is a plot, of the International bankers to entangle the United Stales in the affairs of Eu rope. It is an attempt to draw a red herring acrossing the trail of the great domestic issues and thus save the face of the administration in its supporting special interests from the wrath of an aroused and awakened, people." Gosh, Bob's getting' rough and with his own political party, too. Jim Watson probably agrees with him partly at least.

f According to an Indianapolis dispatch. the road, between this city and Berne is to be resurfaced with ntou< during the summer and fall, an order for $50,000 worth of stone having .been given. That, perhaps. I moans it will be many years before a hard surface road can be built, which seems rather strange when it is also announced that the road will be paved with brick between Richmond and Winchester and between j Portland and Bryant, it is also said that within a year or two the road will be paved between here'and Eort Wayne. Just, why the $50,000 is not used in paving, instead of stone, is not announced. The people of America used thirty million dollars worth more tobacco j*n the month of March than in any

(previous month, which proves tint' we arc at least not as hard-pressed for monoy as in some nations; for tobacco is a luxury pure and simple. Borne of us have used it so long, we ; feel it a necessity, but, of course. ■ we buy more cigars and cigarettes , when we have plenty of money than when we are broke. Manufacturers say the great increase is due to the i J fact that so many women arc using ’ • f I the weeds. That's a bad sigu for the ! country—at least it appears bad to 1 us folks out in the brush where we [ are used to the men doing the rough I work, drinking, chewing and cussin'. : ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY * ' * « ' ♦ From th* Dally Democrat fllea • ♦ 20 yoara ago thia day ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦•♦A Slight lire occurs at the home oi ’ John Johns on John street.

Such are the conclusions B reached by Dr. C. W. Kidder, of the I V. S. Public. Health Service, after an I investigation, recently completed, in B the Eighth Sanitary District of Ver- B 'which has a population of B 35,000. . I The Shick test was administered to B a little more than 2,000 teachers and I school children .•whose parents, re- fl quested it. Os these about 1,500 were ■ found to be susceptible to the dis- B ease; and their immunization with B toxin antitoxin was at once begun. ■ The Schick test is made by inject- I ing a liny amount of diluted diphth- fl cria toxin beneath the outer skin B layer of the forearm. If the person is fl immune to diphtheria, that is to say I if his blood contains substances that B neutralize the toxin that is injected, B nothing results. But if bis blood does -B not contain such substances a small ■ rosy spot soon appears at the point ■ of injection and persists for a few I days. It causes little or no discern- -fl fort.

DO YOU REMEMBER WAY BACK WHENI -/ When violets as large as a iiansey grew in great beds and sour dock as high us a hedge grew on th- west side of the north river bridge’ When old ladies "talked" about girls who rode wheels?
