There is such a thing as making it too hot tor ’em. This is a good time to begin, thinking about cleaning up for spring and planning just what we will do and v.hen. Organized effort will make this the best looking town in the state as well as the best business point. There is one bill in the legislature , that many believe ought to pass without a dissenting vote and that's the one to regulate the sale of revolvers and firearms. It has always seemed strange that a degenrate can buy a gun and go out and kill any body he wants to and then go free because of his mental condition. Three bills providing for state police have been introduced in the legislature. Why not pass all three of them and have a little regiment to protect the banks, another to enforce automobile laws and regulations and a third for the Detective Association? It we are going to have a military government, lets make it a good one, so we can show off when we have company. You have a right of course to your own opinion and a lot of ■people listed as sensible seem to favor this police bunk, but you certainly never ought to cry about overhead if you insist on starting this kind of a gag. 2f -.--...-I Ttfday, Deci.tu. welcomes nu*. / Knights of Pythias, including state officers and visitors who are here to attend a district meeting. The spacious home of the local Kekionga lodge will be the scene this evening of a happy gathering of the Knights where they will witness the centering of Fellowship degrees on new members. Heading the list of state officers, is our fellow townsman, Dore R. Erwin, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias in Indiana, and it is with a home-town spirit that each and every person watches the activities of a fraternal order, of which a Decatur man is the head. In behalf of Mr. Erwin and the Decatur people we bid the Knights of Pythias a hearty welcome to this city. Twelve years ago the people of the United States had $8,425,000,000 in savings banks deposits. Figures in-. 1 crease over the preceding twelve months was $1,300,000,000, and the .' average annual growth for the whole' period of twelve years was $1,000,-' 000,000. No account is taken in this ’ total of the billions invested in homes, j‘ bonds, stocks and other approved out- ]■ lets for savings. More than $20,000,-J 000,000 in currency, owned by average ' citizens and put where it will add to | the reservoir of credit necessary to/ support the nation’s productive machlneily, is a tribute American common sense. Americans have been called wasters. We do waste more than is. good for us, but not as much ' as our critics believe.

a quarter century and we hope to keep it up forty or fifty years longer. We enjoy it and as to what success we have depends very largely on you. If you will suggest through the paper and follow up your suggestions with 'articles of interest proving your conitentions, you can accomplish much and the paper is yours to use for any • good project which affects Adams county or the city of Decatur or any of the towns or villages of the (county. Just now we are starting on the second half of our campaign to secure renewals of our mail subscriptions. The month of January was one of the best we have ever enjoyed and we are glad and proud of that loyalty on your part. If you have neglected it we hope you take care of this important matter this month so that by March Ist we will have a subscription list, paid up. That’s what counts. ' Two years ago there lived in an Indiana community Jesse Liston, a boy of eight years, blind and deaf since birth. Not even Helen Keller had been penalized so severely, for she had known the world through sight and hearing for eighteen months Ibefore being deprived of them. But Ithis boy has never, and will never, fitave contact with the world except through touch. Yet in two years the 'lndiana State School for the Deaf, •through the infinite patience and self •sacrifice of Miss Nettie Newell, a •teacher, has provided this deaf, blind i lad with a vocabulary of 300 words. •He can do simple addition and subtraction and read braille, the alphabet. of the blind. From a nervous, shy and abject boy Jesse Liston has developed into an upright youth, courteous and neat. The key to his salvation has been found in his sensitive • lips. Miss Newell's name may never i be recorded in history, but she is none the less great. Through her a child, forever blind and deaf, found the light of life. • — o 1 Miss Genevieve Kitson visified friends at Fort Wayne last night. > *

<w>~4 ( .. A FORTY-SIX YEARS (Written on my forty-sixth birthday, Jan. 28, 1925, in six minor meditations.)

4 Forty-six years! When I sit down and think Os the long tortuous path and howclose to the brink I have been oftentimes, —but somehow got by.— I wonder, almost, if I ever will die! For good luck and bad have mingled together Like sunshine and shade in stormy March weather. Why, once I was helped up a hill by a sheep At a rate would have made a speed classic look cheap; And one time I got in the way of a gun, When the thing had a fit, —and was mighty near done! And one time I stepped in the road of a train. — But the grave digger, still, rubbed his hands all in vain. I’ve had “grip" and toothache! And holes cut in me Big enough to remove all my money as fee; But the thing that stands out in these forty-six years And the memory of which still moves me to tears, Was the time Roe Wine’s coon dog took a chew Os round steak out of me.—where its highest priced, too! —A. D. Burkett.

This trip takes one over about halt of Germany, clear across Holland and down every foot of the Belgian coast, where we exchanged signals with the bathers at Ostend and other famous resorts. Then we continued on down the French coast to Calais, France. Then it took twelve minutes to cross the English Channel to Dover. The best airplanes fly so high in crossing the channel that if the engine were to stop running, we could const’either to the French or the English side. Forty niiiitiles after passing Dover. England, we landed at Croyden, the airplane field on the outskirts of London. Airplane travel in Europe is safe, fast, popular and cheap. It only costs $!0 to fly from Berlin to London in the planes of the Deutcher Aerolloyd company. To ride an equal distance on the Twentieth Century Liral ited in America would cost about «« I much. "Why should anyone chug along on slow continental trains at 20 to 30 miles an hour when he con save days of time using an airplane? ‘The all-metal German airplanes with aluminum wings and bodies are the fastest, the Dutch airplanes are the fastest, amj the British machines are the largest that i travelled in. ‘ Among the lines are the TransEuropa Union, the Junkers Line, the Deutcher Aerolloyd, the KLM or Holland National Airway, and the Daimler Airways of .England, as well as the Handley Page Route between London and Paris. “The Fokker planes made in Holland and operated by the KLM. advertise that they have travelled over a million and a half miles with passengers and freight without a single accident. “Other concerns have likewise compiled information as to the tons of freight, the thousands of passengers, the years of service and the distances covered without fatal accidents. “I would like to see Fort Wayne begin at once the construction of the finest airplane field in the great middle west, splendidly illuminated at night bythe electric lighting experts, and with the last word in mechanical, aeronautical, and electrical improvements. You are fortunately I located at the crossroads of the Pittsburg to Chicago air-route, as well as the Detroit to St. Louis and the southwest air route. "In addition to this, it is generally desirable that air lines should follow water routes, not only because it is easy to see and steer the course, but because landing on the water with pontoons is a very simple matter. Thus in flying from New York to Chicago, they will probably come up the Hudson river and follow the
