Tomorrow is Sunday and a day when drivers of automobiles are warned to be even more careful than usual for traffic is heavier and at many railroad crossings there are no watchmen. Stop, look and listen and drive carefully. The other fellow may be a dare devil who take a big risk. i A year ago we suffered from 100 much lain. This year over the entire middle west and the west there is a shortage of rain and in many sections it amounts almost to a drought, but we have faith in old Indiiua and believe that in due time the rains will come and the crops be saved. Lets hope so, any way. It may lake a little more energy te attend church during the summer months, but its just as important. When the attendance falls off, inter est lags and the church does not accomplish what it should. Keep this in mind during the next three or four months and remember the minister ha a task that he can only accomplish when his congregation helps him. Coroner Bond of Richmond, has recommended that the Wayne county grand jury be called to investigate the death of Laudy Jackson of this county, and his action is right. In dlcations are that a grave and serious cr me was committed and the people who pay high taxes for the support of public institutions want to know what has been going on there and they will insist that those guilty of crime or negligence be punished to the limit of the law. Interest is being manifested al ready in the Northern Indiana fair. Manager Williamson has secured suf ficient attractions and concessions now to as tire a great fair, provided enough local people will help make it a in cess. A big auto show, a dis play of merchandise, a large number of entr es for live stock, poultry, farm products and art exhibits will assure the greatest fair ever held here. It’s four months off and you have plenty of time to get ready for it. We are , urging you in advance so you can’t ■ay you didn’t know It. The pre mitiin lists will be out in July bul in the meantime be assured that every list will be a good one and yen w 11 be glad you planned to enter. Whether Elephant Rock can be moved here or not or whether or not the idea is a feasable one we are not the judge, but we insist that if it can be done at a moderate cost it would be a very splendid thing to do. And if we don't do that we believe we should erect a monument to Mrs. Porter, the woman who wrote “Frack les," ‘ The Song of the Cardinal.” “At the Fo'.'t of the Rainbow,” “The Harvc. t' . and a dozen other books '■ hich have been translated in every language, played upon the stage and shown in pictures. Elephant Rock is a huge boulder, a “nigger head” and ighs. it is estimated, from fifty t ■ 3 ;ty tons. It would attract attent!' ind could be converted into a v underfill natural monument, just sqited tor the purpose desired. Carelessness - is'costly, - particularly h&re fire is concerned.

nres to prove this assert on. The ■areless and the negligent persons are the greatest obstacles to lire prevention. observes Newman T. Miller, he state fire marshal, and a great tart of the responsibility for the annual fire losses must be borne by them, he believes. Some of the most langerons offenders are those guilty >f minor faults, such as putting coins in fuses, leaving the curling iron and the electric iron without turning off the current, tossing matches and burning cigarettes- and cigars where they may start fires, and tampering with gas and electric light fixtures. They are dangerous because they do these things habitually, says Miller, last year careless smokers caused <7 fires which did a total damage of $18,00U; carelessness with matches caused 47 fires and a loss of $23,000; and carelessness in handling or usng volatile liquids, such as and kerosene resulted in 154 fires which did damage of over $200,000, took several lives and injured many. There were 1,037 fires whose origin was never determined, but in practically all of these cases some form of carelessness or neglect was to blame. Experts have ascertained, from long investigation atid study, that from 75 to 85 per cefit. of all firest are preventable. Hence this proportion of the fires in Indiana are due to the carelessness of its citizens. 0 44***M***WM**4 4 4 • TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 4 4 — 4 4 From the Daily Democrat file 4 4 Twenty years ago this day 4 4 4 ♦ ♦♦4444*4 + 44 + 44 May 23 —Crowd of Decatur m«fa are enjpj’ing fishing at the '‘shack” four miw ( north.
