L. W. A. Luckey, I*h.D. D.. 43 West S4th street. New York City, has expressed his feelings in a more substantial manner by promptly aud without solicitation, forwarding the sum of $230 for beautifying the court house yard. In his letter he expresses the happiest sentiment and the best worded praise, this man of letters could pen. We appreciate the gift and the fine spirit thus displayed, but more than all the words of encouragement and tile thought that this is still , homo, sweet home, to him. His father. George Luckey, was a pioneer of Adams county, one of those sturdy men who built for generations ; then unborn and built wisely and well. He was a member of the 4 couuty board when the present court ( bouse was erected and his name can i be seen upon the corner stone. In bis memory Rev. Luckey makes the < gift with a promise of a more sub- i stantial donation to the city and , county of his birth ala later date. The gift has been accepted in the spirit it was given and the grounds ' surrounding the court house will be beautified and kept in such condition as to make it most attractive. After all its a fine thing to give when it means pleasure to many, a continued ( happier community where the money is spent, a more attractive city aud i county that Mr. Luckey and all the other home folks, whose duties have. 1 called them to other fields of labor. ( may feel proud of when they visit or bear from home. It was a splendid i and unexpected surprise and for the entire community ne thunk lue donor. , I There are cases of incTndiarisui, due to a desire for revenge or insurance money but they are few. Not ; many persons arc arrested on charges ] of arson. The fires that are started ; deliberately constitute but a very ; small percentage of the whole rec- ; ord of destruction. What those interested in fire prevention have tried to emphasize from year to year is that most fires are due to carelessness and could be prevented if th'' owners of property, factory employes atid others would exercise as much care and intelligence about fire hazards as they do about other things.— Indianapolis News. The Camp Fire girls have inaugurated a movement to change the name of Ilappor to modernists and with Colleen Moore as leader of an army of 160,900 may make some progress. To those ot us still some what old fashioned it seems however that a better campaign would be one to encourage the girls to hide their knees, throw away the "paint pot," get back to being themselves and remember that modesty is more attractive than all the ‘'Beegaws'’ of modern styledotn. A * Home Coming" for the gradu ates of the Decatur High School and a banquet in the evening is being planned and is sure to prove a pop ular aud a most delightful event for the Alania! with plans tor carrying it ou from year to year.

Stephenson, whose word be declared “is law" in Indiana, has been indicted again, this time for having conspired t(f bnru his home at Irvington, to collect the insurance. Stephenson is in jail at Noblesville, awaiting trial on a charge of murder, but it Is said his recommendations continue to have considerable weight with the administration. Anyway he has probably not had a very pleasant summer. Eighty per cent, of all the fires are preventable, it may interest you to know that the total losses in the United States was $55'1.000.000. a per capita of $5.00, which is eleven times greater than the per capita loss of all the countries of Europe. o 4- + + 4- + + + 4. + + + + + + -1 Big Features Os * R A DIO * * Programs Today * ++++++++ + + + + + + 4 TUESDAY'S RADIO FEATURES WLS, Chicago, 345-M, 7:20 p. m (C.S.T.) —Old English Program.

The People’s Voice Our Road Problem Mltur Dr mocrat, I was glad to read the gentleman's letter on rupd control in last weekjs. ssue. Now, someone by chance rearing one of the later Jotters arid. not he first might wonder what it is all ibout. I believe everyone should read .H those letters, his especially, that t they might understand fully our road' ■ rroblein. Il might Im recajled that he led off. objecting Io a reduction in the oad levy. Mini'- was the answer, say. ,- ing that he neded an increase if th" 1 way certain roads had been ruined with impunity in etie of the townships vas any crit’-rton to all his work. His rnswer was published this week and 1 I wish to say that*"! bear him no ill I- will. In fat', I think just as much of him as ever.' a Now lot ns look at some of his statements. Taking most of his letter at face value until we come to a this, "If you think roads can be maintained with foolish argument and wind, you would make a vnhtable road man." Now I am perfectly aware that wind is npt used on the roads, yet a jmlicy ious use of more wind and less contractors. trucks might be preferrable I- and surely would be less injurious to c the roads, saving hundreds ot dollars, e And this, “I can’t see how you can h preach tax economy out of one corner s of your mouth and still are in favor of other improvements.” Economy e covers a large field. Suppose an ot n ficlal or any kind of a business man went in for a heavy e.xzpenditure on a fine car when a smaller one would ,e have doue as well aud he was other i wise heavily in debt. That is an im a provemeut, yet it in extravagance Now suppose this same man under like

jconditions, purchased a standard make ot car. smaller, not so fancy ami much loss expensive and yet answering his purpose. That's ci-imoiny. yet it ’’s an improvement, no doubt over what he had. Applying this to official life, an official is justified in adding improvements jf it is necessary as a safeguard to protect that over which he has charge. Yet there is an extreme either way. Extravagance on Hie one hand and !i"Sk‘»-l on the other. I appreciate the honor the gentle m.an front Hecatur intimates in devmiug me worthy of a monument. Yes, I'm deeply touched, in fact almost as deeply a I will be wlren the road repair bill comes in. Yet, in thanking Him for his, generous spirit I beg Io ' forgo any claim of my own in favor of Him ar being more deserving and ussier of atajopiplishment. Nov I have followed Mr. Maglcy I around again to, tnir subject. Roads I and why they are ruined. 1 have alI' ways thought a good bit of him, though never seeing very much of him at < any time Our subject i. bigger than ■ either of us or both combined. I will > proceed to tell a story then take tin the Wiestion ami endeavor to locate the , nigger in the wood pile. ( Oltce there was a . colored fellow 1 that liked to hunt rabbits, whose :• n/.me was Rosin. Rosin’s dog s name i- was PecuPah. When Per-uliah flushed ea rabbit he started off to beat the o cars and made about as much racket. I. But lie soon lost sight of tie- rabbit n in the wends and bushes but cotitinnr ing to make an awful fuss he would r make his way back to the nest. Sticky ing his nose in the nest Im would let I- out a wild bark and start out again' n as at first. Rosin, mean while had enit deavored to follow I'eculUh. This, d they would do until they were soon r- chasing each other aud bpth wku out, 1- they got no game. e. Now. let's try aud stick to the trail ,e aud ruu our game to earth. Most

everyone in Adams county is more or leziv familiar with what happen* to intervening roads when a new one in I being built. They are practically scrapped in places. Now, is this fair ' to the people? Is It just to the taxpayer* in general? Are you people satisfied with this condition of things? As the townships become more out of debt more roads will be built. Perhaps the one past your door will be , the next one junked by contractors trucks. You are all familiar with the • little rail poster sticking on telephone poles, reading "Obey the Indiana road law.’’ Now is this to be Interpreted that the man with a wagon making a dent must beware but the contractor is immune? The highways of Adams couuty have been built at an expend! tine of millions of dollars. Their maintenance runs way up in the thousands. Are they to be destroyed by pieceiueul? Road building dates way back into history. I haven't time to trace it now. Hut modern road building lias developed into block, brick, stone* cobble-stone, gravel ami concrete. Where a county's roads are being built of stone as they are here, then crushed rock becomes a vital factor of road construction. And we are told that a contractor may haul this stone where desired if he conturms to certain conditions, though the continuous passing of his stoee trucks leaves the intervening roads in a horrible shape. If this is the law it is a rank discrimination against the farmer, against the taxpayer in favor of the contractor. This law may be subject to at least two interpretations. First, it it abrogates all safeguards for the protection of our reads by the trucks, conforming to certain specifications of procedure, then our county road superintendent is absolved from blame and it is the legislators who signed this bill should be petutlizcd. Second, if this law still left a penalty for destruction of public property Hit'll he, the destroyer, shouid be penalized. If such should lie the case and penalty was not inflicted then who should be penalized .’ The atxpayers? Here is a proposition that I wish to put to the commissioners. They may act upon it as they see fit or not at ail. If our present road laws as at present coll st rued w auri th re is no chance of a] peal or repeal, aftorxl no protvet’on or loop-hole to ptwnlit any road in the cotpity from becoming into a dependable condition, then I offer this suggestion that from each stone quarry or tiepot of road supplied a road traversing each township shall Ibe designated as a “heavy haul highway" said road to be given a double thickness of stone or constructed of brick. cob We-stone, paved or any material tn withstand the pres--ure of heavy and continuous traffic. Os course, this will take money. Now, I tie- curds are on the tab’e face up. : Choose your own hand. Damon had his Pythias; Kvnieo his j Juliet; Dr. Jekyll his Mr Jlyde and if we wish to smoke the nigger out of the wood pile. I ask good road superintendent that we not continue to ilage a Rusin and I'eculiuh stunt else our escape and we become immortal over night.
