It was eighty-three iu th e shade out on the Pacific coast yesterday and a San Francisco man was prostrated because of the hot rays of old Sol. Thats sounds encouraging, doesn’t it? All bandits do not carry guns. The fake brokers, stock salesmen and white colored business grafters took more than a billion dollars of savings from the American people last year. When they ask you to invest, ask your banker and rely on his judgment. Join the crowd and attend the district democratic meeting at Muncie tomorrow evening. At the banquet a number of senatorial candidates and other leaders will appear on the program and a good time with plenty of pep designed to make the boys go out and win will be included in the menu. The season for bad colds, Florida fever, flu and other ailments particularly prolific during the period from January to April, will soon be over and then we can begin to plan for our summer vacations, spring fever and a few of those less expensive evils. And lets don't forget also that those who attend school and make records 'in ‘‘readin’, writin’ and ’rithmetic” are also entitled to full credit and recognition. The rest of the school year will bring honors to those who have achieved results in their studies 'and thats important too. A great big, brave Indianapolis policeman shot a sixteen-year-old high school boy in the leg the other day when the lad who was being questioned about something, started to run. The surprise is that he shot him in the leg. It would have been so much more effective to have put several bullets in the boys’ body. The Commodores were given a noisy, sincere and hearty welcome when they came home with their trophies from a successful part in the national tournament at Chicago. They won the state championship and they convinced everyone 'of the many thousands who saw them play that the team representing Decatur was a real one for which no apology need be made in any way. Some hungry theatrical manager got Countess Cathcart and her bunch of neglected misfits together and took them to New York city to catch a few suckers with her “Ashes of Love." They rented a theater for a week and from all reports that will be plenty long enough to take care of all those foolish enough to pay the entrance fee and war tax for a glance at the woman with a title who is willing to commercialize her character and everything else she has for a few dollars and little bad booze. Earl Crawford, who will be out of the highway commission within a month, has a lot of information up his sleeve and announces that he will lead the fight to rid the state of the "underworld" control of affairs in the state house where the biggest ideal seems to be to secure more offices for hungry politicians and their henchmen. And Earl is some fighter, too, when he gets his armor buckled OUs. ’ An event of more than passing interest and importance will be held at the high school auditorium iu this city

[this evening. It is the awarding of r prizes to the winners in last years corn aud sugar beet contests. Needless to say it will be a happy thrill .. for the winners and an inspiration for the boys and girls who are interested in this important work. Addresses will be made by Mayor George Krick, L. M. Busche, county agent, and E. L. Austin of Purdue Univeras , . a ity. Following this part of the program the organization of the clubs for thia year will start. A similar meeting will be held at Berue. Thursday evening and within a short time all plans will be complete. You are not only cordially invited to attend both these meetings but urged to do so and to also continue an interest during the coming year. The club work done in Adams county in 1925 . attracted attention over a half dozen states and the leaders in this section , are hoping for even better results this year. The Decatur Industrial Association will again support the ' movement and will be aided by other organizations over the county. Arrange to attend tonights meeting if you can. 3 3 33SSM3SSMMMMMK 3 K * X TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY X <4 K X From the Daily Democrat File K X Twenty Years Ago This Day X X R 33333 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 March 24 —Threats of coal strike advance prices 25 cents per ton.

Golf is a curious fcame, as all have foisnd AVho've ever ventured out to play a round.

Study and practice, struggle as you may To every golfer comes his dreary day.

Back Ached So He Couldiftßend Over Had to Get Up Several Times Every Night. Trouble Gone Now. “Six weeks ago I got a severe aching in my back. It just seemed as if my back would break in two, and I could not stoop over without pain. I was nervous, had to get up several times during the night to attend to nature’s laws, and did not sleep well. I would get up in the morning with a dull aching headache and feeling just as tired as when I went to bed. Nothing did me any good till I found Viuna, and right from the first I began to improve. The hurting in my back stopped and I went to bed and got a good night’s rest. My nervousness has gone and I can sit down to the table and eat a good hearty meal. I tell you Viuna is a wonder. I don’t have to get up at all at night any more and am feeling fine.” —A. M. Caudell, Fortville, Ind.
