The shower this morning was welcomed by many and if it doesn't do any more good than till the empty cisterns sufficiently for the Saturday night baths, it will be something. The income tax report arriving and its up to each individual, partnership and corporation, so required, to get busy. The federal officials don't seem to know just what will be required but we all know that if we don't do it we are liable to fine, imprisonment, double taxation and a few other undesirable doses of punishment. Senator Joseph Cravens and Hon. L. Ert Slack have both withdrawn from the race for the democratic nomination for United States senator and it looks very much as though Uncoin Dixon would be agreed upon By the leaders as the man to oppose Senator Jim Watson. He is big enough for the job and his selection should and we believe would please the voters of the state to such a degree as to assure his election next November. Come on with that idea of what can be done this year to make Decatur a better, happier, more prosperous and more attractive city in which to live. Have yon an idea that is county-wide in its benefits’ Do you favdr farm clubs’ What do you think about it all? The Industrial Association will help carry out the campaign which is now being formed. Have you a star you want them to shoot at? Now we have it. congress wants to name a commission to investigate whether or not the Volstead act has been a success. Strange as it may seem both the wet and dry leaders in congress seem to favor the proposition. The resolution was offered by Representative Cellar, of New York, and it was supported by Representative Upshaw, of Georgia, democratic dry leader and Representative Hill, of Maryland, republican wet. The commission would hold extensive hearings in various parts of the country. it might not result in any thing definite but it would be interesting. It is claimed on no less authority than the Indianapolis News that things were pretty well set al the last legislature to change or repeal the primary law. At the last moment just when things looked. brightest, Governor Jackson recommended to the legislature that the action be not taken. The committee discused the proposition with D. C. Stephenson, then a power and he said he wanted to use the primary just once more and then would join them in killing it. Now that this influence no longer exists, what will be done? Anyway isn't it a matter the people should decide for themselves. Soft weather and not exactly unexpected. though « iiviie early. The important thing about it is that it gets the roads ready to be cut to pieces by heavy hauling and that's just what will happen if we are not all careful. While its one of the duties of the county superintendent of roads and his assistants, it is likewise your duty. You are tax payers and you are the ones who are or should lie deeply interested in preventing the unnecessary expenditure of funds. Every dollar saved this spring can be used to advantage some

The Ford Motor Company has purchased 1,400 acres of lahd at Maynard, Indiana, over on the IllinoisIndiana line as a terminal for their : air line. The new field is located twenty-five miles from Chicago and 1 'is already in using for landing purposes. A modern hangar is to be erected at .once and the tieTd will within a few years be a well known spot, even though you probably never heard of Maynard before this. It is doubtful if most of us appreciate what is going on just at this time in the line of air travel but th e Fords are spending millions to develop it and one of these days we will, awaken to the fact that it is a practical and assured mode of travel and delivery of mail and express. With the first year of the threecent gasoline tax in Indiana concluding. the figures show a total of about eight million dollars collected. Os this amount the highway commission has received about six million and the balance of about two million dollars have been distributed pro rato to the cities and counties of th e state. That's a lot of mopey but it must be remembered that roads and streets cost a lot of money for building and maintainence and that Indiana is now envied by other states because of what has been done with a bond issue. So long as the road departipent is kept out of politics ami the money raised expended on real improvements, we are in very good condition. o KSSKSKSSKSSSSSKSS g 55 55 TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 8 X K X From the Daily Democrat File 8 X Twenty Years Ago This Day 8 X K S'JSSSSSSKSKSSHXSX February 18, 1906 was Sunday. — o ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ Big Features Os * * RADIO * ♦++++++♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦ Friday’s Ten Best Radio Features (Copyright 1926 by United Press) WJZ.

Steps Taken To Curb Numerous Investigations Washington, Feb. 18. — (United Press.)—The republican party in the senate today took steps to curb the habit of the senate in embarking upon numerous investigations. In a conference the party adopted a resolution which would have the effect of changing the rules of the senate so that any resolution requesting an investigation would have to lie considered by a standing committee of the senate before it can be considered. Under present rules resolutions seeking investigations are considered only by the audit and control committee which has no authority to inquire fully into the question of whether the investigation is justified. - o Greatest Benefits Come From Strengthening Weak Places In Farm Business Lafayette, ln<3„ Feb. 18. — (United i’ress) "Greatest benefits usually come from strengthening weak places in the farm business rather than from attempting to make the best phases still better,” said L.

Overton of Purdue pointed out reasons why fartnurs should not overlook the home market, emphasizing that frequently local products arc superior to those imported. More than thirty-five men were registered for the beekeepers short course which closes tomorrow. F. C Pellett, editor of the American Bet Journal of Hamiltou. 111., was one ol . the principal speakers, discussing

Feb. 18.—(United Press I —The state conservation department will be called upon, at its meeting in Indianapolis, Saturday, to consider condemnation proceedings against the ' Pralrc Club of Chicago, which holds 48 acres of Dunes land, needed by the state for the Dunes State Park project it was announced today by Ever- ’ ett L. Gardner, commission member. 1 The commission it was said, has offered approximately $40,000 to the club for the tract. Ten thousand dollars would be paid in cash, the comtnissioo would assume the club's indebtedness of $15,000, and grant free tenure to the property for five years.

Feb. 18.—Pupils in practically all the Sunday schools and churches of the Protestant de-' nominations will hold memorial ssr vices Sunday. March Al for Fanny Crosby, the blind h; mn writer, according to an announcement made from the Fanny Crosby Memorial. 150 Fifth Ave., New York, by Dr. S. Parkes | Cadman, chairman of the National . committee and president of the Federal Churches of Christ. I Fanny Crosby, although blind, wrote more than 8.000 songs, and these songs were sung more than all other religious songs of any writer. Dr. Cadman urges the use of the memorial service written by Dr. Fred Winslow Adams, of Springfield, Mass., and the use of the Pageant by Mrs. Editli Kinney Doten of Boston, Mass. Fanny Crosby was born March 21, 1820, and died in 1915 at the age of 95. “The purpose of the memorial," said Dr. Cadman, "is to keep green the memory of Fanny Crosby and to build a home for the aged, as a memorial to the writer, at Bridgeport, Conn." o Franz Schubert’s Estate Was Valued At Only $25 Chicago, Feb. IS. — The estate of Get Rid of Chronic Stomach Troubles Quick Money Back Front Holthouse Drill?

If xou've got it, you’ve go it and what you want to know now is how to get rid of it —in tile shortest possible time. Well! here's the answer that ought to please you. Just get one bottle of Dare's Mentha Pepsin at Holt house Drug Co., or any good drug store and take one tabiespoonful after meals until there isn’t one drop left. Then give your stomach the once over, so to speak, and if this one 1 bottle of Dare’s Mentha Pepsin hasn't greatly helped your rebellious stomJaeb. just go and get your money back. I That's what any good American | would call a square deal, but the men make Darc’s Mentha Pepsin go i further. They say: “After you have i taken one liottle of this great and pleasant to take stomach medicine; if ’ you don’t feel better, sleep better, eat ! better and look better, you can have . your money back." | They are perfectly willing to give tills generous guarantee, because, be- ’ sides being the stomach remedy sui preme, Dare's Mentha Pepsin is a . real tonic that builds you up.

Franz Schubert, the composer, consisted of six suits of clothes and was valued at twenty-five dollars in gold by the public appraiser, it was told j by A. G. Gulbrsnsen, piano manufacturer, in an address here at a civic music dinner. "Nothing that would fetch money was found in Schubert's lodgings," said Mr. Gulbransen. "Besides his old clothes he possessed only one sheet, one quilt, a mattress, two pillow cases, one pillow and some old music books. • Difference that a hundred years makes in the value of an artist's letters is shown by the fact that a short (line ago a letter of Schubert's asking for a loan of a few marks brought s4uo at auction in Berlin. He died , November 12. 1828. aged thirty-one years. "A week before l)is death he wrote to a friend begging the loan of some books to read. Schubert wrote that he had not tasted food for more than a week and was ao feeble he was, hardly able to leave his bed." Clinton McDonald Is Sought; Daughter 111 ■ u Indianapolis, Ind..
