A lot of people will be moving "down by the winegar woiks” if they make good on the announcement that alcohol can be made from vinegar for fifty cents a gallon. If you missed your guess on the V inter weather, you now have another •chance. Whats your i<k»a of the next three months which include spring? FTbo shins indicate unsettled conditions. And now the all absorbing question for a lot of folks seems to be "was f\<t real champaign or ginger ale in which the nude actress' bathed at a New York party the other evening?" That doesn’t seem to us as important as what kind of swine drank the stuff if the facts as dispatched are true and just where is This nation drifting? John Frederick, Kokomo manufacturer and a.leading business man of Indiana is among the candidates for the long term nomination for United States senator on the democratic ticket. Mr. Fredericks is an able campaigner, a splendid business man, has a wide acquaintance and is big enough for the job. It lias been suggested that a spring revue be given here and while the details are not at hand, what we have heard of the proposed campaign for a fund with which to better conditions here, we believe it would be patronized and would produce a week of genuine pleasure and many benefits. The council last evening started helion to secure the old cemetery in the south part of the city and if successful will convert it into a Memorial park. We believe the county commissioners will gladly comply with the request to take over this ground and that the improvement can and will be made during the next year. That will be real progress. Arthur Gilliom, attorney general of Indiana has written Rev. E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of 'the antisaloon league, denying implications 'made by Mr. Shumaker in his annual report that there had been any manipulation in liquor cases by the attorney general or in the supreme court and sends word that any repetition ■will be followed by real action. It looks like a hot battle between two real warriors. The primary election will be held two months from tomorrow, on May . 4th. Already a number of candidates have annonneed Informally and several have quietly started their campaigns. It- is important that good men, qualified and willing to assist in the campaign work, be named as the ' nominees. The selection of a strong Xicket is good politics as is also the election of men who are qualified to conduct the offices 'to which they i *opl> e. The board of directors of the Decatur Industrial Association met last evening to discuss plans for the year They will give their best to make thir a banner period for this community will support the boys .and girls clubs will co-operate with the city officials in the plans already made for tin benefit of Decatur, will go after new industries, aid in the clean-up cam paign, support those things which art for the best interests of all.

At the meeting of the Decatur Industrial Association soon, one of the matters which will be discussed will . be whether or not we are to have an g Old Home Week celebration this year, y Those in the past, the first in 1912 t and the next about five years ago in r connection with the fair, were delightfully successful and we are sure that with proper organization, the ■ 1926 Home Coining, in connection r with the 150th anniversary of Amerii can Independence and the ninetieth ’ anniversary of the founding of this • city, could be made a real event, worth while in every way. It will be earnestly discussed at the meeting i of the club and you are not only ini vited but urged to attend and express your views. It takes months of real effort to put over an event of this kind and its not a bit too soon to begin thinking about it and planning for it if we decide to give it Petitions for two roads, one west from Geneva and one east from Berne, to be built under the county unit road law- were filed yesterday and the petitions urged by delegations from -those sections interested in these highways. A similar petition was prepared some months ago for a road from this city southeast through Pleasant Mill.; to the state line. The petitioners ask for hard surface highways and there is no doubt as to the need for the improvements as soon as the finances of the county will permit, but this is a matter to be considered seriously and a new departure which should have the most careful consideration. We believe the time is near when the greatest amount of money spent on road improvements should be for those constructed of materials which will eliminate to some degree at least the maintainence cost but it must also be remembered that these are the things which increase taxes. If such a movement is to be started it should be done by the board only on a program covering a stated number of years and after consideration of all the facts connected with a proposition of this size. We are sure that the county commissioners will consider all the arguments pro and con and will act wisely and to the best interests of every tax payer in the bounty, considered as a whole, that every one will be given the squarest deal possible under all conditions. Thats all that should be asked of them. o Two More Answers To Tank Problem Received Earl Chase has figured that the ' tank a mile square and a mile high, filled with tyater, would empty at the i rate of a barrel of water per second, in 1,108.44 years. He figures that the tank contains 1.101.117.147.428.57 gallons and that 86.400 barrels would ! be drawn oft each day and his answer i is figured on the basis of 365 days in j a year. • , Homer Ruhl, of the traction company, figures it 1.108.45, about the e same basis as Mr. Chase and these 0 answers are believed, practically cory rect. Many replies have been recelvefl and the problem has created much Interest. o MARION —No longer will the pool balls click merrily over the green r. tables at the Y. M. C. A. here.
