Don’t think that because you haven't painted the front you ought not to. There is plenty of time yet ami if you don't get ready for firemen's day, remember there is, Chautauqua. the fair and other events which will attract crowds here. Each day for the next several months, hundreds of tourists will pass through Decatur. Let's look our best. ‘ Senator James Watson and State Chairman Walb were here an hour Sunday on their way home from Kalamazoo where they had been speech making for the republican candidate for congress. The campaign closes tomorrow when the election is held and it is predicted the result will be close in a district which in 1920 had more than thirty thousand majority. Beats all how the people are voting * against normalcy,' don’t it? tl —~ £ And now we have to go through the [ Fourth of July period when the i youngsters get a lot of patriotism out ?of their system by noise making. It [seems foolish as wo grow older but [as boys we thought the occasion k couldn’t be properly celebrated and t the nation maintained without a f couple of weeks of fire crackers and I torpedoes and toy cannons, etc. | About all we Can say to you boys, c I is—Be Careful. | R The newspaper correspondents are I having a fine old time making candi [dates these days. They trail Henry [ Ford, Al Smith, McAdoo, Cox and i others and don't lose a chance to I send a hot one over the wires on the ■ least provocation. However it will be [too warm for the next three or four f months to exert much energy on this J problem which cannot be solved for [a year or so any way. Keep cool, [its healthier. Ki The General Electric plant here is ■ composed of a bunch of live wire E boosters for the community and they ■‘demonstrate it in many ways. They ■ have their basket ball, base ball and ■ other teams, they have social affairs, ■ a lecture course and otherwise assist Kin things to the general good of the ■community. It is very much to their ■ credit that two of the organizations ■ the Ge-co-de girls club and the ■Athletic association of the G. E.l Ehave donated the room furnishings ■ for hospital rooms. Thats a wonder- ■ ful record for any institution and ■ they have a right to feel mighty ■ proud. Its further evidence of the ■good to all of us resulting from new ■ institutions. Each one helps all of S us in many ways. aj Among the activities in which ■ Charles Addlesperger is engaged in ■ Colton, California is that of building Kami selling homes. For three years R now he has built and sold a resi- ■ dence each three months. The cost Sos construction there is about $3,0#0, : g due to the fact that no excavating, R foundations or heating plant is V necessary and the lumber Is secured fc for almost nothing. The same kind f of a house would cost considerable S more here and the same kind of a ra hot:'-f w ouldn't sell here but there is " v uc'i t ’ think about in the fact that (, he tijid there in l.is town are buildE ing and Belling homes. 'Chiu's what f m>k ■ co mt it< g 1 ' dosen men here would do that same thing "vould soon solve the housing prob-

lem, wouldn't it? Chairman Lasker and his six hundred chosen political friends are off on the greatest government junketIng trip ever made. They met in '• Boston today and tomorrow’ will sail . on the steamer Leviathan for a “Joy ride” which will cost the government a couple of millions and without any ” excuse in the world except the op--3 portunity for a good time at the s expense of the people. Women are 1 barred from the trip and its expected 1 to be a fast rolling gait from start to J finish, a fine tribute to an adminis- . tration pledged to economy. As a result of the unfavorable mention made through the press of the country ami the storm of protests, many congressmen, senators, cabinet members and others cancelled reserva- - tions, though President Harding has given his approval of the trip. The information coming through Geneva that the state highway commission will conform with the desire of the people of this section to route the hard surface road through the towns of the county, will be a real relief to the many who feared the saving of eight miles through the county would be tbo great a prize for the experts in road building. As we have stated several times we do not believe the state should build speedways and that to build a road straight through a county, missing four good towns would be simply an outrage to those who have striven so long and are still making the effort to improve the communities. The , Geneva people who have been making a lone light deserve much credit and we hope the citizens of Ute county will co-operate with tbqm in any way possible that the best results are obtained. +<•*+++++ + + + + * + + i -5- TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ • + + | + From the Daily Democrat files + • 20 years ago this day ♦ I ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ I James P.

Clover Leaf Railroad Has Made Good Record' A writter in a Toledo publication notes the fact that the Clover Leaf 1 holds the palm in operating ratio, having the lowest in the country. He points out that the road has been] managed in an efficient manner and j is enjoying great prosperity. The, article says in part: ' “To emerge from an ■efght-year Te-i ' ceivership with improved roadbed and 1 equipment; to pay a four per cent - dividend at the end of the last year after having wiped out a bonded indebtedness amounting to $11,527,000 ’ with accumulated interest coupons ’ I amounting to several million more—- ’] this is the remarkable record of the I ToWkc St. Louis & Western railroad 1 (Clover Leaf I under, Walter L. Ross, I a receiver from 1915 tt) 1922. "No organization or transfer of stock took place, and the only assess-, s ment against the stock was an assesst ment of ten per cent on common I and preferred stock at a time when t neither had any very substantial ( rvalue. Throughout tile ei»ht years the stockholders held 90 per cent of tin ir original stock. “Very rarely can a receivership

show a net profit except after thorough recognition. Tho Clover Leaf . did this and more. Toledo is Justly fl proud of the industries which give rise to her prosperity and may feel satisfaction iu (he record of the Tolo--1 do, St. Louis and Western.

Ross takes occasion to • commend the loyalty of the company's employes in these words: " ‘No railroad has a more loyal and efficient organization of officers and employes than the T. St. L. &. W. R. R. at the close Os the receivership and to this fact we are indebted for the splendid condition of the property and the operating results accomplished. "The average number of employes during 1922 was 2,769 as compared with 2,183 in 1914. The average wage was $1,578.(10 compared with $885.00 and the total payroll $4,373,000.00 compared with $1,933,000.00. "The Detroit, Toledo and Ironton railroad.
