They are considering a sewer system which will cost $300,000. locating a SIOO,OOO furniture plant, building $32,000 worth of roads and ptherwise helping along the prosperity period. Lieut. Harrison Crocker made a non stop trip from Houston, Texas to Canada Saturday in about twelve hours, passing over a route near this city and smashing speed records. That ought to be good news for those contemplating a hurried journey from Texas and points in that direction to the popular northland. An organization is now being made which will appeal to many. Its leaders plan to pledge citizens to vote for candidates for the legislature who will agree to vote for the repeal of two laws for every one enacted.

have something like twenty thousand I laws on the statute books of Indiana and two-thirds of them could be discarded without injury to any one it is claimed. We should mak,e some progress this week in the paint up campaign. It has been drugging along now for a month and there is no reason for you putting it off much longer if you intend to keep your promise. A little ‘ ginger” will get it done right away and you will enjoy it that much longer. It’s not only helping out on a community movement but it's a mighty good thing for your business and your property. You ought to paint once in a while any way and right now is the once. "War menace in near-east averted” declare press dispatches and reading the news you find it happened through the Imttsanne conference, more argument why we should have a world court or a league of nations or some agency which had the power and ability to settle these affairs in ’ some manner other than war. We don't care how they do it or what they call it but we hope the men in power will proceed with steps > \ which will prevent future wars, save the youth of the world and reduce the national cost of living about seventy-five per cent. » Salesmen of fake stock are again abroad and from every which way come reports of people investing their savings in worthless securities or stocks which are not worth the paper written on. Its a fine thing to invest but you should not do so without consulting your banker or a business friend who knows values of stocks and who will tell you the truth. About the hardest pill you can swallow is to work forty years for a little cash and then turn it over to a smooth individual who paints a picture of great wealth easily obtain cd. Better play it safe. See your banker, if you are considering an investment. One of the finest community help suggestions we have heard recently is that efforts will be made to set aside a day for volunteer help to clean and beautify the river banks. ■ We are told that the old mi'! at the end of Second street, nortff 1 will be razed and that spot made into a flower garden. A hundred or two men could in one day clear the river banks of rubbish, cut the weeds and make the banks attreative and beautiful. It’s a great help to have travelers through here remark of the beauty rather than point out the of-

fensive scenes and this effort should be entered into with enthusiasm. Let's put it over, men ami women of Decatur. ■'■■Jl.gl.'.lAW A common expression is, “J won't build now as cost of construction is too high.” Incomes have increased proportionately to cost of construction and the man who does not demand every newfangled contraption » can build with his present-day income S and have a larger margin left than would have been possible in 1913. Don't blame the present building ( costs entirely on to lumber and la- ( bor. Remember that in nine cases I out of ten your ideas of what you want have expanded with your in- ’ come and you would not be satisfied today with the 1913 bungalow. Taxes at SIOO. insurance at S3O, repairs and upkeep at SIOO and 7 percent interest on a $5,000 house amounts to SSBO a year. If you pay SSO a month for nine years you have $5400 worth of rent receipts worth nothing. If you put SSO a month into a home for five years, even if it was necessary to cut out a few theater parties or clothes to make up interest etc., un until the property was paid for, you would have an asset worth probably more than $5400 at the end of nine years and your family would have a roof over its head which could not be taken away from them for failure to pay a month's rent. Don't kid yourself, you can own a home as well today as you could ten years ago if you want to. It is not the cost of building that will prevent you. it Is the cost of satisfying your inflated demands for luxuries and modern extravagances. Notice To Young People Os Bobo And Clark's Chapel To our young people of Bobo and Clark's Chapel communities, we desire by this means to extend a-n invitation to meet with your pastor at Belmont Park on Thurs.
