And we presume thats to con form with the invigorating effect his flivver lias on the human system. Have you voted? This is the day lined by law wlfen you select candi dates for city offices. If you are interested in your community and have nol gone to the polls, better hurry. They close at ®ix o'clock this evening. Returns from the election will be received at this office as usual and we will be glad to answer telephone calls. As there is but one contest the returns should be in early itoin the six precints where the votes are being cast today. The Hoosier Booster is the nano of a magazine or rather a newspaper now being published by the Hoosier State Auto Association in connection with their efforts to "sell 'em Indi ana.” It's a peppy, neat looking and well edited four-page paper on good stock and looks like a real winner. Plans for the big county fair hen in September are going forward and will speed up one of these days. Everything will be done to make it a big success and the rest is up to you. It won't cost you a cent to boost it and it will mean a bigger, better .air. We notice a few fellows reckless enough to laugh at the law and oper ate their ears in direct violation o' the new statutes. The penalties an lather severe and you are foolish t< run your car with the muffler open - to cross stop streets, to turn to th< wrong side of the street, to turn without holding out your hand as a signal • i to do any, of those things which tin laws says you should not do. A sure bet for any community is Io show courtesies to tourists. In these days when thousands of strangers motor through your town each month it is certainly good business to cater to them. Hammond has just established a special touring bureau building, only st ition of its kind in Ihe country. It resembles a filling mtion in appearance but it isn't foi they have nothing to sell. It's just a place for all kinds of information and located as it is at. the “bottle neck” of highways leading to Chi cago, they will have plenty of bus ice . The expense is taken care ol by the Motor Club, Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce and Rotary clubs. Not so bad, eh? Charles Hart, once employed in the Decatur Egg Case factory, who learn ed the printers trade on the Geneva Ib rald and reported on a half dozen papers in this section, later becom Ing city editor of the Spokane Spokesman and then Washington correspondent for several western papers. ( ba: been appointed United States minister to Albania. He is a real fellow with a wonderful personality and much ability and his new post is? a very responsible one because of the almost constant disturbances in the r liken states, of which Albania is a principal one.

Additional expenses of sS.)hhi a year have been incurred by the appointment of additional employes of tiie free employment bureau of the date industrial board. When asked how one of the new men obtained his appointment, Dixson H. Bynum, chairman of the board, said it came •’in the usual way”—it had the approval of Clyde Walb, Republican state chairman. Bynum added: "I've beet: in this (political) game for twenty-seven years, and 1 guess 1 might as well be frank about it. That'sj the way it is done." From another: portion of the Statehouse comes the story of a man who wished to be appointed an accountant witli the public service commission. He was told alwint tho Walb order, informed that it takes precedence over anything else ami informed that before his case could be considered he would have Io obtain the recommendation of his precinct chairman, his ward chairman and perhaps some other political chiefs. His 'application must come through "in the usual way,” which means that unless he has political backing and is recognized as having done something out of the ordinary for the party, he might as well save his breath and not seek stale employment. Chairman has had a hard time getting the usual way scheme perfect ed and adopted, but he seems lu have succeeded.

The ice cream idea came to this country, many years ago from France, and was first served by Dolly Madison, wife of President Madison at the White House.

The ice cream manufacturing profession wm booming in the southern* states in 1861. when the Civil war virtually stopped the great campaign.

May 5 — (United Press i While the police reporters take a 24 hour vacation, former Judge Join) U. Kates tomorrow will be editor, for a day, of the Camden Courier. This unique experiment is the outgrowth of a recent speech in which Judge Kates attacked the modern newspaper because it "played up", sensational crime news and failed to give “due prominence'’ to the more constructive phases of life. “I would like to be editor of a paper just for one day” he said. Management of the Courier immediately offered him the chance and he accepted. Th judge will have entire control of the Courier plant tomorrow. Already interest in the experiment is so widespread that orders for copies jot ‘ Ihe lyates Bditioii' have been re(calved from 27 states.

WANT PEDDLERS I BINNED IN CITY I • —— — Local Merchants Take Steps To Protect Citizens From “Fake” Agents — I Measures are being taken by the I Decatur Advertising Association to I protect the citizens of Decatur from I tlie misrepreventing, house-to-house agents and peddlers who have been working in this vicinity lately. A pc-| lit ion is being prepared, officers of rhe assoeialon say, to present to the city council, asking that a icenso fee be Itevied in an effort to f keep "fake" peddlers and agents from operating here. The merchandise usually is misrepresented by the agents and, after they are bought and paid for, it is mpossible to secure-an adjustment. 1 The spring weather always brings a zieat number of these so called •factory representatives” to towns and cities in this part of the state »nd each spring they manage to leave with considerable “illgotten"

profit. The petition asks that the city take steps to make it impossible for these “fraudulent”, persons to operate' here. Other neighboring cities have made the license fees so high that it is impossible for them to work their schemes. The local petition alio asks that residents who arc agents for mail-order houses and sell thc z ;oods on a house-to-house and fac-ory-to-you basis, file bonds with the city certifying that their goods are guaranteed to be as represented. The entire move is a protective' move for citizens of Decatur and this Vicinity and is of interest to this community, which is "worked" each year by a series of "schemes” and ’plans” that take thousands of dollars out of this city by the misrepresented merchandise schemes. A petition recently filed and later accepted by the council has raised he license fee for "street corner nerchants” to $50.00. Most of these agents arc said to have cheap articles jf merchandise, ami by their "gift of gab” they are able to draw highTrices for (heir goods. The merchants' association is oper ; rang to protect their patrons and it ■ s their desire that they get their' money's worth for everything they i »uy. They, believe that the patrons who stick to the standard lines of merchandise are. after all, the most satisfied, and they are making extended efforts to protect these persons. / — o— — —— UNCLAIMED MAIL Mr. Perry Enyart.
