That may seem a trivial sum to the governor but to most of us it would spell success and a competency complete enough for all needs and wants. A special meeting for boosting a tourist camp in Decatur and financing and getting it ready for next year will be held at Industrial rooms the evening of December 4th. Mr. Vance will be in charge and Mr. Stone will be the principal speaker. 11c will tell you the truth about the town and will tell you how to make it better. We ought not to be afraid to hear the truth especially when it comes from a man who has at heart an interest in improving conditions here. Opportunity don't knock often, let's welcome/ner when she does. Tm- announcement of the tragic j/nd to tlie brilliant life of John Suu- ’* business manager and half owner of the Moline Dispatch and the man who made it a rcai newspaper, will cause sorrow over a wide scope of territory. Mr. Sundine was a former president of the Inland Press Association ami a recognized leader in the newspaper field. Fog several I months he has suffered from a nervous breakdown from which it was generally thought he was improving and the news of his self inflicted death is a shock to those who admired his sterling qualities. He was forty-seven years old and had advanced rapidly in his field of endeavor. No man in the middle west was regarded with higher esteem or held the confidence of the fraternity more than John Sundine and his death is sincerely mourned. Pan Niblick has appointed Cal E. Peterson chairman of the local Harding highway association and 0. L. Vance as chairman of a committee of the Decatur Industrial Association to get back of a rest camp. Each man will name the members of his committee, selecting those interested and tlione who will work. The chairman are enthusiasts for the particular department to which they are named and the selections are wise ones. Mr. Peterson has on numerous occasions demonstrated his ability as an organizer for things worth while, his latest effort being the Tuesday night banquet. Mr. Vance has traveled over every part of the country by auto and is a real booster for a tourist camp and knows from experience just what is needed. Every citizen should got back of these ft -u and help them put these propositions over with a bang. We like the action of the board of directors of the Decatur Industrial Association this morning in getting squarely back of the Harding Highway movement. They put up the money and will make an assessment not only to cover this but to put enough money in the treasury with which to put up 250 Decatur signs on this highway and on various others out of Decatur. Thats action and that's just what we need here. Thera

is nothing to holding talk meetings il its not followed by snappy action. A little of that will not only put us on the map but make us worth being there. Mr. Stone was pleased and the people of this community ought to be ' more titan pleased for its a really big ’• thing to be a part of u road planned to be America’s greatest. Mr. Stone will return here several times a year and will help us get publicity in various ways. Pay your assessment 9 and add a dollar or two for its un im--9 portant cause. a - j Don't you think we are rather over5 doing the hate business these days? ) You know in this country we are al- > ways doing something. Sometimes * we boost and other times we knock and some times we cooperate and then again we oppose. For a year or so wo have been grumping. The klans hate the Jew. negro and Catholic, and a lot of people hate the klan, Henry Ford hates the Jews and they return the compliment, the Irish hate the English and there are a lot of public speakers who go over the country and capitalize it all. It's silly and the way to overcome it is to try the opposite of hate which is love. The other day a Knights of Columbus council at Olean, New York presented a departing Methodist minister with a Masonic ring which shows a spirit that will do more to make America great than all the bating you can do in a life time. We ought to love our countrymen. A hundred thousand recently gave their lives for us and four million others offered theirs. That ought to count for much. ■i a, w£ — "■ -i —
