MAIN STREET TOWNS: — Mr. William R. Barr, one of the most prominent citizens of Bluffton having received one of the Decatur Industrial Association booklets writes enthusiastically of it. He stated that it is "all that is claimed for it; a mighty ■attractive showing of the advantages and resources of a mighty fine town. He says further: "that it is my firm conviction that a large part of Indiana's growth aud substantial advancement during the next fifty years is dependent upon the' smaller county seat towns of the state. The citizenship of these towns are doing a very worthy work in their development. The big fellows in the larger cities are. many of them, men from these smaller towns. Decatur is, a/id always has been, an important factor. Long may she prosper.” That’s a fine bit of broad mindec sentiment and coming from whom it does and from where it did, is doubl; appreciated Mr. Barr is n successfu merchant, a dandy fellow and know, what he is talking about. It is the towns like Bluffton. Portland, Huntington, Berne, Geneva, Decatur, and the rest of those with "Main" streets which not only produce the men and woipen who handle the big jobs it the metropolises and the nation bit. they are also the bulwark of govern ment and business*. The booklet issued by this city calls attention to many facts that might be overlooked by the casual observer and we are delighted that it has been so well received and we hope that it wil impress others as it has Mr. Barr. Mr. Gordon Rentschler, one of tin owners and operators of the Hamilton Machine Works and who visited lien several times when installing Decatur Castings Company and is well-known by many of our citizens has been elected first vice-president of the National City Bank, of Nev York City, one of the world's greatest financial Institutions. Mr. Rentschler will become actively engaged in the banking work, moving to New York and will become one of the groat figures in American finance. Ik is a num of indominitable energy, a keen mind, courage and every quaillieition necessary and has proven hi i ability by succeeding in every thing he has undertaken. He has done big things in the middle west and be will continue to do big tilings In this position to which he is now. promoted. Indiana editors are men of strong convii tiont who •rarely agree, but recently they have agreed on our tepic Editors of Dem'oqttatpc, Re publican.

Its up io us. We start iff with a road program that means nuch to the city and county and with ndications of considerable progress. Jecatur is now one of the best towns n the universe for its size. We can tetter it by securing an industry or wo during the next two or three nonths. That would start the spring' iff with a bang that would be felt luring the entire year. There should ! ie a program of improving appearinees of the city, approaches, yards, itisiness fronts and some building, duch depends on the effort we put nto the work. ( Decatur is raising money to provide its five blind people with radio jets. In many cities there is a movement among the sportsmen to raise i fund to feed the starving elk in Wyoming. Both projects are comnendable. though widely different. In New York City lives a man who or many years has stood, even in the coldest days of winter, feeding the pigeons. He buys different grain for them and some of it he has cooked. It. is his own way of being useful. It takes a large variety of people to make up the world. There is some me thing for each to do, and so long is it is ministering, who is it will say that they are not performing a good sevice?- Hartford City News. Governor Ed Jackson is not in favor of the repeal of the state wide primary law and said so. though be it rather softjy, in his message yesterday. The rest, of his inaugural speech w’as generalities and meant but little unless he really.does what he says about reducing expenses and the taxes, if he does that he will be duly credited but that remains to be seen and we can all get a large size view of his attitude during the next two months. If the legislature 1 don’t appropriate the niohey, it can’t be used. They won’t appropriate it if he is honestly against it. —. —o 1 ♦ TWENTY YEARB AGO TODAY ♦ * « ♦ ’»orn the Dally Democrat files ♦ ♦ 20 yeara ago thia day • i ——~ ( J'WPir.v 14, 1905—Dr. J.

I have just been wondering whether or not this generaus movement might be brought to include other blind of this community. Besides being blind. I am neither physically able to earn, nor financially able to buy a radio. The blind | of rural districts have few privileges I that these of the city are permitted I to enjoy. There is no radio near or | borne, so that I can not oven enjoy I lhe other fellow’s. Believing that your publication would be of great value in enlisting the interest of friends and subscribers throughout the county in this noble project, I am soliciting youd co-operation in this matter? 1 assure you that any consideration this letter may receive at your office will be highly appreciated. Yours truly, W. O. Brod beck. JOHN STEWART GETS “WRITEUP” I Dayton Newspaper I’ays I Tribute To Ability Os Former Decaturite The following highly couipliinentary story concerning John H. Stewart, former city editor of Daily Democrat and at present the manager of the Christian Publishing Association, in Dayton, Ohio, together with a picture of Mr. Stewart appeared recently in the Daytqil Journal: "Executive ability of John H. Stewart, manager of the Christian Publishing association, has made possible a great expansion in the business of that big concern and is largely re- , ■ ponsible for the construction of the new building, at a cost of $175,000 on Ludlow street, south of Fifth. "At a time when the association i was operating at a loss, Mr. Stewart took charge of affairs, he having been appointed manager in 1922, and corrested the situation with such a degree of success that the quarters in the Hamiel building at Fifth and Ludlow were soon overcrowded. “Then it was that Mr. Stewart began the campaign which has resulted in the new structure owned by the association. Mr. Stewart, has worked out a now system .for the new building (vhich insures speedy delivery of all publications and cominorcial work. "The composing room will be on the third floor of the association building, lhe presses will be on the second and the mailing on thji firnt floor. i “The fifth floor will be devoted to 1 the church department, while the general offices will be.located on the fourth. lhe lot for the new structure' was purchased in June 1924 and work began ianmediateiy. Th" new t five-story building is practically ( plete aud the association will probably begin moving next montl?. "The Christian Publishing association was established May 6, IS6G.' and has steadily grown from that L lime, but its greatest expansion ha:, come since 1922, when Mr. stewart , became the guiding geaiu, of the as-' sociation and steered a straight course to success. “Mr. Slewart was city editor of a ‘ I live paper at Decatur, lad., having served iu that capacity for twelve aud a halt years, when he formed
