Yester- [ Hday was a perfect day in the morning and about as rotten as could [■be imagined in the afternoon with a raging blizzard. That’s [■spring in Indiana so lets take it as it comes. * ★ ★ ★ * [ By a vote of ten to six the Fort Wayne council has voted [■down the petition to establish daylight saving time there, so that (■settles that for another season. We sincerely hope now more ■than ever that if the question arises here, it will likewise be ■tabled for its seven or eight hundred different kinds of a nuisance ■ when such a movement is not general. ★ ir it ★ ★ Other things may be uncertain but its always a cinch there ■will he people killed in Herrin, Illinois, on election day. In the ■ Tuesday battle six men were killed on the streets when klun and ■anti-klan engaged in a gun fight. Its become so common out there ■that the people take it as an incident and would probably think an ■election without killings would hardly be one worth while. ★ ★ ★ ★ * The North Indiana Methodist conference has arranged that ■ hereafter when in annual session, one man selected for the pur■pose, will give out all the publicity. That’s quite a job and the ■man who is big enough to fill it will deserve a real salary from the ■church, newspapers and public. * * * * * L. C. Andrews, the federal prohibition czar startled the senlate committee yesterday by declaring that he believed it would ■be easier to enforce the liquor laws if beer of low alcoholic con■tent was permitted. He also made the statement that 172,000 ■stills are in operation in the country’. Some folks will wonder if ■ the department knows this to be a certainty, and they must know ■it, why they don’t seize theip. p 4 ■* + * The twelve Decatur men who attended the road meeting at ■ Tiffin, Ohio, yesterday believe the Benjamin Franklin highway is ■ a certainty, that it will receive federal support and will within a ■ short time be the most popular east and west coast-to-coast high- ■ way in America. The Tiffin meeting was an enthusiastic one and ■ much interest was manifested. Decatur had the largest dele- ■ gation at the meeting. * * * * ★ The voters of Illinois defeated Senator McKinley in the le- ■ publican primaries Tuesday’ and nominated Frank Smith who | made his fight on a platform in opposition to the \\ orld Court. ■ McKinley fought it out as a straight Coolidge man. The voters ■ don’t care a hang about whether the senator supports the presi- ■ dent or not. George Brennen, democratic boss of Chicago was | nominated and will make his fight on a platform advocating re- ■ peal of the prohibition laws. This will certainly prove where I Illinois stands on the liquor question at least. * * * * * The city board of health has issued an order complying with that of the state board of health, concerning the ninety-day Quarantine on dogs, because of the prevalence ot rabbies or hydiophobia in the state. During the past few months there have been hundreds of cases and 128 people have been or are being tieate* at the Pasteur Hospital at Indianapolis. Under the order all dogs must be muzzled, kept at home or held in lesh tor the next ninety days and this is now effective in Decatur. If your dog is on the streets without muzzle or lesh it is the duty of the police officers to kill him. There have been no cases of rabbies here but the health board has decided it is best to comply with the order before signs of the disease are manifested. * * * * * David Lawrence, one of the observering Washington correspondents, thinks President Coolidge and his nest of “regular republicans will pay heavily for their attitude toward Senator Brookhart, and he predicts that Brookhart will enter the lowa primary against Senator Cummins and take him down t ie nn defeat. Cummins is one of the very faithful administration men and to leave him back home would take away about a P^ esl dent has in the way of actual backers. Even Senators \\ atson and Robinson take their things and go over into the other camp occasionally, you know. But, while speaking of these tw’o gentlemen, will either of them be in the next session of congress. Hu . —-Bluffton Banner. ***** A man down in New Mexico has been selected from some 50,000 others in setting down his answer to the question, Wha is a Democrat?” “A Democrat,” he says, is one woe leves the fullest freedom of speech, press and religion, the separ-, ation of church and state, laws that bear equally upon a e & • without special privileges or monopolistic advantages, r.g s o states guaranteed by the constitution and less nations ism.” The gentleman is right and thats what a lot of us have been Preaching for some years. The trouble is wc can t get the people to vote it consistently in national elections, but we a\e no - faith, believing that eventually a great majority wi reco 1 the advantage of having these things.

Purdue Specialists Say Lime Does Not Make The Lawn Grow Lafayette, Ind., April 16. —“One of the old traditions that seems to die hard is that lime is a panacea for lawns,’’ says S. D. Conner, of the Purdue soils and crops department. Bare patches and mossy spots showing up at this time of the year distress) the home owner, but while these conditions are often found on sour soil, the same may be found on soil well supplied with limestone, according to the Purdue man. "Sprinkling of lime on soil to kill moss will not make the grass grow,” he emphasizes. Hundreds of soils from city lawns have been tested at Purdue and few, if any, tested sour. There is a good reason for this, namely, that Indiana water contains plenty of lime and constant sprinkling of the lawn deposits this lime on it. To renovate an old lawn in the spring, rake it well, tear-; ing out as much moss as possible, and , broadcast a pound of recleande red top to each thousand feet. Red Top seed is about the best grass to renovate old lawns in the spring. It germinates in about one-third the time it takes for Kentucky blue grass, and it is as nearly free from noxious weed seeds as any grass seed which may lie bought. Fertilize the lawn with four or five

pounds of ammonium sulphate to the same area. This should be done just as soon as the soil dries out sufficiently. All of these efforts will prove fruitless, however, if a lawn soil is merely a shallow one covering subsoil made up of basement refuse, brick bats or trash gathered up from anyplace. The best lawns are on deep fertile soil, and the owner should see to it that he has this type of subsoil before putting in a lot of work on it. “While I am a great advocate of liming farm lands to grow legumes,” said Conner, “I wish to repeat and em- ' phasize, ’Don’t lime the lawn.’ ” NOTICE TO PUBLIC } ! ———— I will be in Decatur next month to 1 do spring piano tuning and repair ‘ work on talking and sewing machines - and will stay until all orders are taken care of.
