Foreign Representative Carpenter A Company, 121 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Bill Rogers says he knows when he's licked and that Charley Dawes now has it all over him lor “funny cracks” so Bitl is planning to go to Washington to be groom for Mr. Coolidge's mechanical horse. Several weeks ago we discussed some of the propositions of holding an Old Home Week in Decatur this year and asked for the expression of opinions. We received two communications one opposed and one favorable. We still believe these activities are splendid things for any com munily and the money spent a goo< investment but it will require more enthusiasm than so far displayed. 11 we are going to it, we should be getting busy. How about it? An? thing further to say? The Decatur Catholic High team drew a haul one for their first game in the big national tournament to be held al Chicago this week. They will play Peoria, winners of last years contest on Friday morning. How ever thais just what they want. The boys will go to the meeting expecting to win ami to do so they must beat the good ones. They will meet their opponents while they are fresh and will do their best to win. It they take this one, look out for a championship flag in Decatur and wc believe they can do it. Thirty-eight state legislatures met during January, and one meets later in Hie year. In 1923, they received ovi r 60,000 bills, and passed 15,000 aS laws. There are now approximately 2.oi)o.(iO() laws and ordinances in the United States, and about 200,000 new ones being added yearly. State governments that in 1903, cost $lB2 - 000,000,, an average of $2.26 per capita, cost $1,450,000,000 in 1923, or $13.10 per capita. The total state ami national government cost in 1923. was 1., per cent, of the national in come, where is whs only seven pel cent, of the national income in 1903 —Goshen Democrat. This was a mighty tine morning with spring in the air and a smile on the faces of most people we met. Thais the stuff. There are so many things we can do and ought to do and will do if we are smart, that we uiiirh; to gel at them and keep at them until they are linisb.'-l. Even v. hen things, are not going so well with Hie rest of Hie world, we cat: pul it over here, if we work hart enough. With an added industry or two. ami wc have a chance to ge' 'bcm, with all of us doing a little t i help Hie cause along, witli a road program and a general clean-up, this < '!i lie the best year we ever bad. >■. 1 c:d ya say?

The "dark horees" are said to be well groomed and with roil stuff buck of them and a lot of people who watched them perform at Fort Wayne feel they will make a tine showing at the state meet till.veek and we sure hope they do.

The congress has adjourned and left its pledges unfulfilled to the farmers of the west. If we now go home and remain until December 1 there will be. more of radical Republicans in the, west than there are now. We were under a solemn pledge to enact legislation which would relieve the agricultural situation. That was one of the distinct pledges made in the campaign. If support of the platform is a test of party loyalty we will not be Republicans unless- we carry out that pledge immediately.” Clyde Walb. repul«R'';;it state chairman. is not celebrating over the reresells of the legislature.

Governor Jackson and Mr. Walb are not getting along like good pals either, as the one is training with Bossert and the other with Stephenson, two members of the klan representing different factions.

In the meantime the people are wondering why some one don’t discover the fact that there are things to be done besides politics. >• o ■ — (Big Features Os RADIO Programs Today Monday's Five Best Radio Features WTAM, Cleveland, 389.1 M. 9 p.m. (E.

It is to be the aim • of this national committee to urge the American people to broaden their vocabularies and to teach the chil- ' dren of the nation the value of > ability to express their thoughts by clear and correct speech. The first activity of the committee i was to distribute free to several hundred of the larger public libraries of I America a new book, "Stammering. Its Cause and Cure," by Benjamin N. Bogue, a nationally known authority . on speech defects, and author of several voliunnes on the subject. The members of the committee attribute much of the lack of the old , time forcefulness and power in modern American speech, to the hurried yxistence and "jazzy” tendencies of | , today. Modern influences, the committee believes, are responsible for the growing tendency of people to slight their pronounciations, to garble their words aud to stutter and stammer. The book by Mr. Bogue, which was sent to libraries in nearly every state, was written especially for persons who are atfiicated with stammerlug and for the parents of children who stammer. Future efforts of the committee will be directed at encouragement of a greater public conception of the value of better articulation, pre serving , the purity of spoken English, overcoming the bad influences of slang, urging parental guidance over the speech habits of children and generally stressing improvement in speech as a valuable asset in business and social activities. LATIN CONTEST WINNERS NAMED Two From Kirkland And Eight From Decatur Win In County Contest Two Kirkland township pupils and eight Decatur high school were declared winners in the county Latin contest held about two weeks ago. The contest papers were sent to Por-t land to be graded. The winners were: Freshman 18-Margaret Geisel and Jerald Zimmerman, of Kirkland town ship; FreshnianlA — Doris Yocum and Stella Draper, of Decatur; Sophomore Mary Kathryn Schug and Robert Friainger, of Decatur; Junior Eleanor Pmnhrey and Mollie Haugh, Decatur; Senior— Mary Macklin—and Eloise Lewton, Decatur. The eighth district contest will be held at Muncie in the near future, but it is doubtful if the Decatur pupils who won in the county contest will take part. Owing to the fact that Miss Genii Jackson resigned as Latin instructor recently and some delay was occasioned in securing a successor was interferred witli to some extent with the result that the pupils are slightly behind in their course of study.

This, the Standard Oil Company (Indianai has done, for without the efforts of this organization, men generally would have fewer of the pleasures which our splendid, modern civilization has developed. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), has brought the operation of the motor car within the reach of practically every family in the Middle West. The efforts of this Company to conserve oil resources is a distinct public service. By thor-ough-going refinery efficiency and economy it has utilized every power fraction in crude oil. which has made possible a vast production of high-grade gasoline. One department of this organization specializes in the creation of lubricating oils. This work has resulted in extending the useful life of power machinery by providing efficient and scientific lubrication. ThisCompanyhas made the operation of every kind of automobile, truck ortracior less expensive. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has originated and put into effect a distribution system which for effectiveness has no equal. This Company was a pioneer. It perfected this distributing service to reach the farmer in the field and the country doctor on his rounds; as well as the truck, taxi or pleasure car driver in the crowded cities. Without such service, hundreds of thousands of rural dwellers could not enjoy the use of a motor car, except at prohibitive cost. Potential wealth the world has always had. For thousands of years, untold riches in petroleum lay in the ground. But of what use was it in lightening the burden of humanity? Today, through the efforts of the great oil companies, among which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a pioneer and leader, tne wealth that lies in oil has been passed around and made available to all. T'he accomplishment of such a vital service means farsighted, unceasing toil, patient planning, study, enterprise, vigilance and initiative, inspired by high ideals and the will to serve.
