Just what any one wants to go to Florida for these days we cin’t imagine, unless its the fishing of so many varieties there. The weather here is about as fine as any body could wish for. ***** Six thousand bills have been introduced in conggess so far and they have only really been on the job a couple of weeks. And most of them'are silly bills that otight never be passed and should never have been introduced to litter up the halls of the law makers up the halls of the law makers. »***★* Purdue has a Plymouth Rock hen which has laid 436 eggs in two years and this chicken is to be a headliner at the Indianapolis poultry show which opened today. Figure out what she is worth when eggs are selling at from forty to sixty cents a dozen. ***** Read the advertisements in todays paper and remember that they are there to assist you in your purchases. The Decatur stores are reliable, carry excellent stocks, deal with you day aftei day and give you many advantages that you cannot obtain elsewhere. ***** Former Governor Osborne, of Michigan, has offered to serve out the unexpired ter mos former Governor McCray, of Indiana. It sounds like the grandstand statement of some fellow who hat some how or other slipped out of the news dispatches and doesn't like obscurity. About the best way to handle that proposition is to accept it. ***** Irving Berlin, a poor east side boy of New York, and a .Jew, who has written many jazz songs and made a million dollars has added more fame by eloping with Ellin Mackay, daughter of Clarence Mackay, thirty million-dollar head of the Postal Telegraph company, Not so dumb, eh? \ ***** California is having earthquakes, Florida is having storms and heavy rains, Europe is suffering from all kinds of storms and disasters and other Widely advertised winter play grounds seem to be having difficulties to comply with the alluring announcements. Oh hum, Indiana is after all about as good as any and a lot safer investment in the long run. ***** One trouble in straightening out the difficulties of the middle west is the fact that the east thinks only of their own industries and considers the rest of the country only an incident arranged for their benefit. And the administration seems to also have that opinion pretty strong. When the storm breaks in congress you will hear a lot of things about it. ***** The ministers and all who are assisting them in plans for the two weeks special services starting in seven Decatur churches next Sunday are enthusiastic over the outlook. Indications are that a great interest will be manifested and that much good will result. The pastors are now and have been doing their full part. They cannot succeed without your assistance and your attendance and your urging others to do likewise. Its a good plan, a worthy cause, with good programs and its up to you to join in the job. ***** Pay your subscription to the Daily Democrat and help us continue to give you the news of the county, state and nation. We are working ten to fifteen hours a day to give you a newspaper which will be a credit to the community and we want your sincere co-operation. We want you to want the paper hadly enough to pay less than one penny a day Tor it and we want you to want it to be filled with snappy news badly enough to send us in your items. This is the period of the year when the campaign should be made that we may start the year off with a paid up circulation. We will make every effort to give you a better newspaper this year than ever before. Help us by renewing this month. ***** E. B. Williamson and other advocates of county fairs are urging at their state meeting this week state aid for the various agricultural exhibits. Such men as Prof. G. L. Christie, ot Purdue, are supporting the campaign and it is expected that the next legislature will take such steps. The county fair is a great asset to any community and it does seem to the outstaters that since we are spending large sums each year for the state fair that the rural exhibits which feed such an institution also deserve financial recognition. ***** The report of the county superintendent of roads. Charles E. Magley, shows a balance of $23,727.19 with which to start the year. During the year 1925 he expended $93,121.52, all of which is accounted for to the penny and for all of which due value was leceived. The inventory’ shows that the road department of the county now has equipment valued at $13,535 and an organization Prepared to do the greatest amount of service for the county, -dr. Magley desires to work with every one and asks every’ one to co-operate with him in the big job of keeping the seven hundred miles of county macadam road in the very best condition possible under all conditions. Thats the right spirit and we hope every one will agree.

State May Recover Funds Lost In Kentland Bank Kentland, Ind., Jan. 7. — (United Press) —Indications here are that the state ot Indiana has a very good chance of recovering the $90,000 of. • funds which were on deposit in the ■ Discount and Deposit Bank of this ! city when that institution failed in I 1923. 1 1 Warren T. McCray, then governor of I Indiana, was president of the institu- i I tion when it failed. I Although state officials, at the time I of the failure, despaired of ever collect- I ing a cent of the $90,000, examiners I for the state banking commission are I said to have expressed the hope that I *at least a part of the money might I ■ be recovered. I | Under the direction of Eben Hr. Wol- I cott, former state bank commissioner, I and Thomas D. Barr, present commis- I sioner, th» institution is slowly liqui- I dating in liabilities. g AU but $36,000 of the state’s deposit I already has been returned, it became g known today. The last payment made I by the receiver to the state was on I November 4, when a total of $9,000 I was handed over to the state officials. I Early settlement of the affairs of I the bank is seen, following a move of I the heirs of a director, now deceased, I to speed the final disposition of the I .estate. It is said that the heirs are I willing that the claims of the bank be I given preference. —: o | Robbers Take Jewelry And Leave Bad Liquor 11 Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 7.—(United I Press) —Lon Mauzy, jeweler, today has I a half pint of rather bad liquor but is I out $650 worth of jewelry.

Indiana’s Certificate Os Title Law Gains Approval Indianapolis, Ind . Jan. 7—-(United Certificate of Title law prepared and sponsored by the Hoosier State Automobile Association received national approval at a meeting In Miami, Fla., where the national convention of secretaries of state passed a resolution favoring the enactment of such a law in all states in the union. This recent meeting was attended by F F. Schortemeler. secretary of state, who had previously held a conference In Indianapolis with a representative from the office of Herbert Hoover at Washington, and M E. Noblet. secre-tary-manager of the Hoosier State Automobile association. In discussing the experience In Indiana of the use in this state of Indiana's Certificate of Title law, a number of points were brought out: (li That it Is ridiculous that a piece of property as valuable as an automobile should not have a title that carries through with the life of the car and transferred from one owner to another, the same as a title to real estate. (2) A certificate of title for an automobile is doubly essential as a means of protection to the owner for the reason that the automobile is moved around and can even be altered in appearance so that it can hardly be recognized, whereas a piece of real estate is stationary. (3) The Certificate of Title law is one of the best m< ans ever devised of discouraging the theft of automobiles. <4» Many automobile theft gangs in Indiana have been broken up and In a number of cases the thieves have been captured and sentenced, due entirely to the work of the Certificate of Titl and the Auto Theft department operating through this law. (5) "Before the day of the Certifi-

cate of Title law the automobile association.” said Mr. Noblet, "was oblig cd to put up expense money time and time again for the use of city detectives, deputy sheriffs, and private detectives in an effort to cope with the theft situation Not only was. the association unable to successfully finance these demands but it was seldom that any real good was accomplished by the work that was done. Through the use ot the Certificate of Title law every motorist in TMSfiT Ruddy Cheeks—Sparkling Eyes —Most Women Can Have Says Dr. Edwards,.a Well-Known Ohio Physician Dr. F. M. Edwards for 17 years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ailments. During these years he gave to his patients a prescription made of a few well-known vegetable ingredients mixed with olive oil, naming them Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets. You will know them by their olive color. These tablets are wonder-workers on the Ever and bowels, which cause a normal action, carrying off the waste and poisonous matter in one’s system. If you have a pale face, sallow look, dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, headaches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets nightly for a time and note the pleasing results. Thousands of women and men take Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets —the successful substitute for calomel —now and then just to keep them lit. 15c and 30c.

the state pays $1 00 and that money finances the State Motor Vehicle Police department, which department was created primarily to cope with tne automobile theft situation." A surplus in the auto theft fund of <400,000 was loaned to the general fund during the McCray administra tion, and now during the present administration through alterations in the Indiana statutes, even the obligation to pay back has been cancelled; In other words, the motoring public voluntarily taxed itself for its own protection and this money was being husbanded in a business like fashion to be used for the protection of the motoring public in accordance with the purpose for which it was paid. The Hoosier State Automobile association very much resents the loss of this money from the auto theft department —it js unfair and uncalled for. That money should be spent for the benefit of the motoring public ex clusively. It is not money paid in through regular taxation channels - it is money paid voluntarily by the motoring public for its own protection. It would bo fare better to let the Secretary of State pay the Stalo motor police more money instead of holding them down to the rneagerest

Settle Will Not Enter G. O. I*. Senatorial Race Indianapolis, Jan 7. — (United Press.) —William H. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, today was definitely out of the field of prospects for the republican senatorial race.
