If he doesn’t he is even more silent than he is credited as being. ■ ■■s The change in the weather is an improvement over the sloppy, soft brand of the past few days. Its too early for spring and the snow and colder temperature is best for the soil, the roads, your health and conditions generally. The old foxy groundhog must have seen his shadow, though we djm't know when or where, but the next day it snowed and from our many years of acquaintance with this piognosticator we know he Is too wise to be sitting round in this weather. He has hibernated for another six weeks, w e feel confident. They tried and convicted a colored man on a murder charge down in Kentucky yesterday, in sixteen minutes. which is considerable better in several ways than lynching. The greatest cause of the crime wave, we feel sure is the delay in dealing out justice to the known criminals. There is no doubt that Cal Peterson expressed a good thought in his talk to the industrial club members when Tie said that the best way to get things moving and keep them going in this community would be for the club to hold quarterly banquet meetings similar to that one. instead of annual ones. When men get together they plan to do things and always we accomplish something but the meetings are too infrequent to do all the things that should be done. President Burk of the Industrial Association expressed the optimistic opinion in his annual message that Decatur, uow well over the 5,000 mark, can go on to 10,000 if wo will all put our shoulders to the wheel and we agree with him. If each of those more than a hundred splendid members who met the other night, ♦•ould try their level best during the year 1926 to do something that will add to Decatur, it would be easy. Mrs. Noah Mangold is the first person along the Limberlost Trail near here to promise concret support. She will see that the grounds about the Mangold & Butler filling station at the north edge of the city are beautitied, shrubbed, flowers planted and the plot made attractive to the sight of the tourist. That’s the spirit and we hope that every one along the route takes the same strand and does it as well as we sure Mrs. Mangold, who knows flowers, will If we do, the Trail will the sooner become, as advertised, the model highway of America and— thats the goal.

Then came the Dixie highway through that city and renewed impetus and since then they have shown a continuous growth until now they boast u population of more than 20,000, a healthy, growing city. They figure that from the Dixie highway alone they have profi ited a million dollars a year, figuring t sixty-five cents to the person visiting t the city, which Is the estimate of the statistician. The Franklin highway meeting at r Wabash latU evening was a peppy ) one and gave signs of renewed aci tivity. Mr. Williamson, of Findlay, ! who addressed the meeting announced i that he will go to Washington this week to take steps to have the entire road taken over as a federal line 1 and following that meetings will be held at Findlay and in Indiana and 1 Illinois. The road will be marked ‘ and efforts made to have the road paved as soon as possible. Charles M. Schwab, the steel magnate is now one of the chief boosters of the highway and it is predicted will take an active part in completing it. The route it is claimed is the shortest i yast-to-coust line and will with proper publicity become one of the most popular ones, especially after it is paved The Highway question is a big one, an important onc'and we can devote ourselves to no greater cause jyst now. - "" ——o skkxksxkksxsskkkk 8 K 5 TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY K 4 55 .5 From the Daily Democrat File 55 8 Twenty Yeara Ago Thia Day 55 8 , K 888SS8S55Si3KSSKlKKK February 3. 19u6. —Surprise for Mrs. Luke at the United Brethren parsonage.

1). H. S. SENIORS ’ PRESENT PLAY TO LARGE AUDIENCE (COVJIM ED FROM PAGE ONE) father's will, is another clever comedian. The part is taken by Don Deßrun and is well acted during the play. Robert Zwlck takes the part of Ting, the bell boy at the hotel and Melvin Thomas plays the part of Sam, the colored porter. These two characters add greatly to the entertainment and both boys play their parts well. Kitty, who “Doyle Johnson imitates when he masks as a girl, is played by Katheryn Nichols. Miss Nichols plays the part well and her arrival aids in 1 untangling several mysteries of the play. The role of Suzettc, aunt Jane's maid, is played by Helen Farr. The ' entire cast is well selected and the players deliver their parts in such a

manner that the play is a decided sue- : • ecss. The audience is continually in an • uproar except at a few instances when the play becomes serious. _ After a series of mysteries, the entire play untangles Uself and the end is en- • tirely fitting. The play will be repeated tonight, and those who attend < are urged to come early in order to 1 obtain the best seats. The curtain will rise promptly at X o’clock. j Miss Ruth Johnson played several piano selections before the opening a curtain, and Miss Josephine Anderson sang three solos. Miss Anderson was accompanied by Mrs. L. A. Holthouse. The play was staged under the direc- • tion of Miss Blanche McCrory, class r guardian, and Mrs. J. It Blair. Harry Heuer was stage manager and Joset phiue Anderson and Hu)bert Myers were property managers. • O— X- — VPPOINTMENiT OF KXEtTTRI.V Notice is hereby given.

Three Mysterious Fires In the fire about two years ago. the company lost a large hay barn Last spring, less than a year ago, the company's elevator burned. In the three fires the firm has lost heavily, it being impossible to carry anything near inoiigh insurance to cover the loss on such hazardous risks The fire last spring occurred during an electrical storm, and at the time one of the early theories was that a bolt of lightning ran into the building. Smell of Coal Oil It was reported last night that early arrivals at the scene of the fire thought they could detect the odor of coal oil. leading to a belief oil may ] have been used to kindle the fire 0 Feast Os St. Blase Is Observed Today Today was the feast of St. Blake, patron of those afflicted with throat trouble.
