Wonder if the new malt tonic will take the place of sassafras tea. If its any worse to take than that it sure won't be a popular seller over the counter. The fight against modification of the Volstead law is providing a splendid opoprtunity for a lot of people to unload speeches. The wets had a sixday inning and now the drys are telling their side. Its certainly taking a long time to count those whiskey cases in the state house basement. The number of empties has now increased to 320 and the destruction of the balance of the 1,100 eases has been held up now. If its put off a month and another hundred or two cases have disappeared, what will you say about it? . And now- we are to have an investigation of Dr. Nelson Ross, unfortunate and no doubt insane life prisoner who while out on a parole skipped the state and was captured in St. Louis after he Wad written letters to Indiana newspapers, telling of his whereabouts. Why don't they just keep the man locked up or grant him a pardon and forget it? Several cities in this part of the country are raising a factory fund with which to induce location of manufacturing concerns, a mighty good thing to do, even though some of it is wasted and even though some of the plants don't make good. We •believe we should stir things up some around here one way or another and we know of no better way than a campaign to secure new industries. If your dog fails to show up he is probably one of those who went to the fertilizer factory the past twentyfour hours. Under orders from the state board of health, a quarantine has been placed upon all dogs in the city of Decatur for ninety days and the officers can do nothing but carry out those orders. Your dog must be muzzled, kept on the premises or led by a rope or chain. As the closing days of the primary approach, friends of the various candidates become enthusiastic and often say or do things which work to the detriment of the party they profess to adhere to. If we believe in the .doctrines of Thomas Jefferson who founded the democratic party, we should strive always to keep harmony and to work for an organization which assures victory in November and this •thought should be in the minds of those who seek office for themselves or friends. We should of course Mote and work for those candidates whom wc believe best represent the principles in which wq believe and capable of the duties required and we should do so without threats and with the idea in mind of carrying on the fight against monopoly, concentrated government and for a continuation of our great republic governed by the people. . A lot of fellows go through life with their brakes on and wonder why .they don't catch up with the head of the procession, is the way Peter I’ep puts it. They/possess six-cylinder ability. Their of production is as great as that of other chaps ■who travel miles beyond them in actual accomplishment. The difference between those who arrive and

the management of natural or acquired ability and the driving force back of it. The fellow who races under the tape of complete realization of his ambitions doesn't dilly-dally away precious time in winding detours. He opens wide the throttle of determination and triumphs over stubborn difficulties. He takes the stiff hard climbs on high and is totally colorblind to all stop signals on the highway to success. There is only one way to get there —and that is to step on it. You can't make the grade with your brakes on. ■ —o xxxxxxxx x x x x x x x. < TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY K 1 K < From the Dally Democrat File K 4 Twenty Yeare Ago Thia Day K 4 K ■4XXXXXXXa X X X X X X X X R.

I hear some pleasure-seeker say: “I haven’t had a thrill today.” So much of late the word is used, By many a careless lip abused. That some. I fear, begin to think A thrill is only born of drink, Or bordering so close to sin That dizzy heads must topple in. Now thrills there are of various kinds To suit the many sorts of minds. And one can feel his pulses beat With pleasure gloriously sweet. For life is not so flat and tame That thrills must only come from shame, For many a thrill of splendor springs From beautiful and lovely things.

URGES FARMERS TO GROW BEANS County Agent Points Out Value Os Soybeans; Crop Becoming Popular By L. M. Busche, County Agent “The idea of planting a whole field to beans!” This was tft? expression that greeted the efforts of several soybean enthusiasts a few years ago when this new crop was in its mere infancy. Only a few years have been necessary to prove its worth, however, since the first trial is sufficient to convince th e average farmer they are a profitable crop. This year, undoubtedly. will see another jump in the soybean acreage. Due to the fact that oats sowing will be late and that so little fall plowing was done, many farmers are planning to sow some of the acreage intended for oats into soys. This decision is even more readily reached when it is remembercu that SOiucauS Cali GO "Ail diiy time before June 15 with excellent chances for a good crop. Soybeans are real milk producers. > Farmers who have fed soybean hay to milk cows are unanimous in their opinion that it is hard to find better ■ hay. A number of cases can be cited where farmers state their first trial ■ of soybean hay during the wnter has I seen the largest production of milk I in their experience. The hay is unusually well liked by cows. In many instances cows have been seen to turn' • away from good red clover or even ' alfalfa hay and eat soybean hay in--3 stead. Threshed soybeans may be used in - different ways. Experiment station a results show that when ground into the grain ration for dairy cows they

I've felt my pulses thrill to see The blossoms on an apple tree; The martins back once more to take The house I’ve’ reared for friendship's sake, A robin on my window sill Gives me a summer morning thrill; While every friend along the way 1 Always has something new to say. I feci a tingle of delight To romp with those I love at light, Within my baby's laughing eyes A thrill that's most entrancing lies. I need no stimulus to see The joy of life, whate’er it be; So many charms God’s bounty spills, I’d say the world is full of thrills.

replace oil meal or cottonseed meal pound for pound. When fed in conjunction with home mixed minerals three hundred pounds of soybeans will replace two hundred pounds of tankage, fed to hogs. Soybeans ted to fattening hogs should never be ground. Those who adhere to the principle, that all feeds used should be produced on the farm should use the soybean to fully balance their feed for all branches of live stock. Sow a few soybeans. Few who have used them properly have discontinued growing them. Although the last season was unfavorable for soybean hay making, such conditions are not likely to be repeated. The prospective shortage of legume hay this year will warrant taking a chance, with a few acres of soybeans. o Depalma Enters Two Cars j In Memorial Day Race Indianapolis, Ind., April 17.—Ralph Dcl’alma, without question the greatest popular idol that ever drew a pair of racing goggles, has entered two cars in the Fourteenth Annual International Sweepstakes, May 31, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Starting his racing career in 1907, DePalma has lived through a series of accidents in his nineteen years of racing that would have stopped a less courageous-driver. But broken bones have meant nothing to the little Italian-American. Os the thirteen International Sweepstakes run at the greatest race course in the world, Ralph has taken part in ten. He started out in the 1911 race by finishing a Simplex fourth. In 1912, came the greatest point in his carrer, when, Eczema Can Be Cured So can the various skin and scalp diseases. Try a box of B. B. Ointment It cures most skin and scalp diseases ’ when used according to instructions. At all druggists—Get a box today

" after putting his Mercedes to the front and leading the second man by twenty ■ miles, he saw victory slip through hia fingers on the last lap of the race. Depalma's motor died at the head of the front stretch on his last lap and he pushed his car to the tape, only to be totally disqualified because it had not crosserl under its own power. In 1915, Ralph showed the field the way to go home with another Mercedes. He finished a Packard sixth in 1919; and a French Ballot fifth in 1920. He came up to fourth place with a Duesenberg in 1922. The year 1923 he was with the Packard Company, driving his car 69 laps. In 1925, he finished his Miller Special iu seventh place. While DePalma has entered two ears, he has not named them, lie is working on them in his Lx>s Angeles workshop. DePalma will no doubt be one of the early birds at the track for practice, for it is well known that he lias withdrawn from board track racing iu favor of the dlrst speed paths and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which Depalma says takes more skill than driving on any other track in the world. Entries announced thus far in addition to DePalma, are three Schmidt Specials, from France, Dave Lewis, iu a front-drive Miller; Harlan Fengler in a car yet un-named; the Hamlin front-drive, of Chicago. T. E. Myers, secretary-manager of the Motor Speedway. says that it is his opinion that the entry list, this year will easily top thirty. —o NOTICE TO BREEDERS My registered Percheon stallion. “Lagos," No. 127,661 and a mammoth Jack will make the season at my farm, 7 miies east of Decatur! 2 miles north and one-half mile west of Wren, O. 1 Stallion fee, sls Jack fee, sl2 H ,W.
