It shows what would happen if a hundred people took the same notions The location of the Yeoman home and school for children will not be made until late fall, it is announced, and practically nothing towards that decision has been done during the past three months. The delay while not desired seems necessary for those who are more anxious not to make a mistake than anything else. Decatur wants ornamental lights, swimming pools, parks at the entrance on main roads, the river banks beautified.' a tourist camp, rest rooms, a community center building and other things and there is not a doubt but we need them. There is only one way tp get them without an increased tax and that is by planning in some way to raise a community chest for this purpose. If we can plan a method whereby *5,000 to *IO,OOO can be secured we can make everybody take notice of Decatur. Can it be done? Tlie peopic of this community should continue to pull together. For a few years past we have done this and with satisfactory results. There is much yet to be done. W e are just where we will go over the hill and become a real city or back up. We can’t do it if halt the people pull against the other half. We can do it and with profit and pleasure to all of us, if we will raise a comfnunity Chest and go out and do some of the things we have been talking about to make this a better to4n. We need rest rooms, parks and other things. Let's go and get them and forget a lot of petty things which prevent it. ,We listened for an hour or two to a discussion of how we are to maintain our roads and schools and other overhead, meet all the demands of a progressive people and still hold taxes down. The county highway commissioner was there and declared that this year his fund for repairs on 750 miles of road was but *129 per mile and the people expect as much from him as they do from the state highway men who are allowed *1,500 per mile. It’s true. We all want improvements and we all want low taxes. The man who can figure how we can have both will be <iyickly sworn lujto use for the county, state and "nation. It is something worth while for a county to boast the greatest Hereford bull in the middle west and the accomplishment of the Former Stock farm in securing the grand championship at the Indiana state fair is pleasing not only to Mr. Smith, Mr. McNeil and the others who deserve the credit, but to Svcry one who is proud of this best county in the world. The bill. Brae Fairfax, was bscd and raised here and is a wonderful animal. He won his title of grand champion against the greatest herds of herefords in the country, twelve of them including the world famous McCray herd, a real contest and the title comes through merit alone.

Fast driving over the highways is dangerous and each day brings further proof. We do not know at what speed the big car was traveling when it overturned Saturday but it is quite likely thut it was not less than thirty •or thirty-five miles an hour. With new stone and gravel on the road It requires but u slight thing to cause the car to swerve and overturn with • terrible results. We drive too fast. I we take too many chances, we want ' the thrill which comes with watching , the road slip away beneath our cars 1 apd the toll is heavy. It would seem that frequent accidents would cause others to drive carefully but it does not and we are driving to a time when laws will control the speed of cars. Highway Superintendent Charles Magley and his assistants are determined to enforce the laws regard-, ing heavy hauling when the roadt are soft and while those arrested may feel this is an imposition it is apparently the only way to stop it. Notice has been given time and again but unless violators are fined it seems they pay no attention to this important matter. One heavy' load can ruin a road that has cost thousands of dollars and within a few days after the roads become soft a good road is often left in such condition that it cannot be repaired for weeks. The officers should be given the hearty support of those citizens who want good highways at the least cost. Mr. Beers, of Monroe township, is showing the right spirit for an officer and it is safe to say those who drive over his territory will be cautious hereafter. Miss Maude Aldrich of the board of moral welfare of the Presbyterian church gave lectures at the various meetings in the Presbyterian church here yesterday and this morning talked to the school children. Hers Is a wonderful mission, a talent unexcelled and tbe results so noticeable that she declares there is hope unlimited for the young people, for the communities, for the state and the nation. She is one of the most gift ed lady speakers it has ever been our opportunity to listen to. She is sincere and she is wise. She sends home her appeal on a question rather delicate in a manner that leaves no doubt as to her knowledge of the facts as they exist and the cure. She appeals for the aid of adults and parents to stop the mad social sins now popular. She ,believes the ’ church can ( take away from the young people the desire for dancing, cards and cigarettes by providing a social life which brings more pleasure immediately and more happiness after reaction. She is a wonderful woman doing a splendid and greatly needed work. * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 4 ♦ From the Daily Democrat fllsa 4 4 20 years ago this day 4 *♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦ * Ladies Historical Club begins 16th year with meeting at home of Mrs. M.

Birds like to nest ou the L edge of woodlands gardening with scattered groups of trees and with hedges is favorable to bird life.

The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To help neutralize these irritating acids: to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste, get fotir ounces of Jad Salts frfom any pharmacy here. Take a tablcspooaful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and ictnon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot tn- - Jure and makes a delightful effer- , vescent lithla-water drink. By all means have your physician examine 1 your kidneys at least * v i<-e a year, i o s—*—s—WANT ADS EARN—*—*—* i
