UM-— 1 ." 1 ..'I 1 . 1 .2.'L , 'L. 1 " 1 During the past year the city of Decatur has paid off >42,717.15 and the nicest part of it is that we have done (hat by earnings from our municipal plant. \ The new laws as enacted by the 1925 legislature will be in full force and effect not later than May Ist and perhaps a few days sooner. The first copies of the new acts were being sent out today and as soon as receipts have been received from each county clerk, the - governor will issue his proclamation. The law which makes you liable when you operate your.car with the muffler open, whether on the streets of a town or the roads of the country, is now effective. If you don't want to be arrested, close the muffler. It's a useless thing any way and annoys others. Cut the cutout. Pour old Tom Dishanga out In Ogden, Utah, nagged by his wife for forty years, begged and was granted admission to jail where he has had the first Unbroken sleep he has enjoyed in years. Mrs. Distfanga has begged and emplored him to route home and has now started to threaten him with a bigamy suit but be only smiles behind the bars of his cell. Ills big hope is that they will let him stay there. Girts, don't go too far.

I). C. Stephenson, ’‘the old man.' who built up a political organization through his connection with the ku klux klan, may escape serious punishment by putting up a stiff legal battle, but his dream of power is now a loirstcd bubble. Whatever his defense the fact that he had something Io do with the terrible fate of the girl in the case and her dying condition is. enough to stop his dime novel tareer. The trouble with bluffing is that sooner or later something hap pens that you have to show your hand.

Il’ a fine thing to renew our energies for those things which really are worth while. We live a few years 'and die. We scramble for the doflarn and we do selfish things forgetful that our great tank i-i to help others aud to so live that our final report card shows an "A” grade. Tomorrow marks the culmination of the weeks of prayer aud we are proud of the fact that the record thi year is the best over made in Decatur for Christian progress. Tornor-

Wc love to boost Decatur and Adams county. Il’s our home and we want to see it the best place in 'all the world in which to live and whether you agree with us or not, we feel it is. Aud yet we w’ffTit it better. Do you realize that a good town is not Just one where there is a stir of business but where the people are happy md law abiding . wlmro they go to church, where they have good schools and where every body makes a good living 'an<l has time to enjoy life, .lust now we ought to be interested in seeing that traffic laws are enforced, that the town is cleaned up for piing, that our homes and business houses arc made as attractive as possible, that our streets are paved and tint our yards are beautified. There are a 10l of things to do, if we will and lets do if all with the one big idea of keeping our community Hie very best there is. UMBJOf. ■... , The Indiana untility law is clear cut and is capable of understanding by a man of ordinary intelligence. The 'honest administration lof that law involves the rights of both the service corporation and the rights of the public served. This is not difficult of understanding. But it is too often the case that men arc appointed on Hie commission who are simply politicians who have lb be taken cure’ of After they are on tin commission the wiles and the smiles and the inducements of. service corporations and the prospect of remunerative employment after the expiration of their terms of office, arc too flattering to bo resisted and they simply become the servants of 'the service corporations. If our (lop'jrtu! will forget politics and look sqw&fj at the job and appoint men •' fittflgLrfr ’ the job there will be no • TooßEjaj’ complaint on either side. Blu’.
