A little brisk today and hard on the dwindling coal pile. The candidates are entering the final stretch this week. As in horse racing the fellow who can shop the most speed will win. Ossian got on the front pages with two stories about store robberies and the dissension stirred up in the Ittle village over the differences on dancing. Such is excitement now-a days. A week from tomorrow is primary day. If you cannot go to the polls or expect to\be out of the city next Tuesday, take advantage of the absent voter's law and cast your ballot this week. The fight between States’ Attorney General Gilliom and Mr. Shumaker, of the anti saloon league has taken on a serious aspect. Shumaker and three of his associates have been indicted for contempt of court as an outgrowth of a letter published by them and it looks as if the matter would have to be settled by the courts. The city street department has marked the streets with the parallel lines and the observance of the regulations is asked by the department. The crossing stops should be observed by the motorist and the police have been instructed to arrest those who insist on violating the city ordinances. There are 100 many automobiles coming around the corner to take chances on getting by and for safety's sake you should observe the stop signs. With a lower rate and ample facilities to supply all the electric power needed by the manufactures and a reserve for future growth, a good water supply, splend.d and home-loving people, fine homes, good streets, the best shade trees to be found anywhere, several miles of ornamental street lights, excellent schools and churches, railroad facilities which touch all corners of the country, this city is about as fine a place to live, work or engage in business as can be found. It is not quanity that always counts, but rather quality and when we measure up the many good things we enjoy here we have a right to feel that we're "sitting pretty.” The announcement that Mr. Schulte, Chicago business man. had purchased ground south of the city for the purpose of building a country club house and golf course was received with genuine pleasure here. For many years a number of local citizens have strived to build a golf course, and since golf seems to have taken . a hold on the country and is fine recreation, the community hopes that Mr. Schulte will be able to carry out his plans. Definite details as to his plans have not been given out, but we feel sure that he will find this community one of the best little places on the globe in which to locate. It is rather a sorry commentary on modern civilization that after centuries of warfare, the god of war is still glorified in most of our school books and that every nation in the world is spending more money for warships and armament anti standing armies and the various other accoutrements of war that is being spent for education. When will education and

Not until the people of the world come ta know their relative importance. As Mr. H. G. Wells has said and as Plato once said, "The test of the State is whether the Minister of Education or the Minister of War is the more important.” —The Rotarian Magazine. The Better Homes week exposition to be held in this city during the week of May 17 to 22nd. will afford local merchants and manufactures an opportunity to djsplay their products and acquaint the public with what is sold and made in Decatur. The exposition will be held under a big tent on Liberty Way and an interesting program will be held in connection with the week. Other cities have found such an observance very successful. The week will also mark the nintieth anniversary of the founding of Decatur and should be a most happy and pleasant one for all. Merhcants are asked to cooperate and help make the week the success it should be. It is being sponsored by the Decatur Industrial Association and is one way of advertising to the outside that this is a live and progressing communty. o — SSSSSKBSKSSSSSSSSS * E W TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY B 4 B 4 From the Dally Democrat Flla B 4 Twenty Years Ago Thia Day K 54 ■ XSSSSSSSSKSSSSXKS April 26, 1906 —Marriage of Mr. Fred Bell and Miss Vera Patterson solemnized at the Patterson home on North Second street.

Plan Big Meat Exhibit At Indiana State Fair Indianapolis, Ind., April 26 —(United i Press) —The state board of agriculture is planning the largest meat exhibition in the history of Indiana state fair, at this year's fair Packers from parts of the country have been asked to enter their products. o Nine-tenth Os Farms Are Without Plumbinff Remember, way back, the frosty morning wash up in a tin basin on the back steps Remember the swimming hole in July, the delight you took in it, and how you blistered your back drying it in the sun? Remember Saturday night, when mother brought the wooden wash tub and placed it near the kitchen stove? How the tub I leaked water over the floor? How I your front toasted while your back was cold? Remember how thoughts of inconvenience and discomfort caused you to delay or neglect personalduties? With thousands, these things are only memories, but with millions they are still realities. The 1920 census reports 643.899 of the 6.448.313 farms in the United States as having water piped into the house. This is only 1 farm out of 10, and means that 5,804,444 farms, pr 9 out of 10, had little or no plumbing. A farm home survey by the United States Public Health Service in 14 average counties in 13 states shows only 808 water closets [ in a total of 51,853 rural homes, and 16,733 of the homes had no privy, t B*pre*»sed in simpler form, only one ' a water closet and Hnßwiu|AM!it' of three had no prh Pfß' Al T’" v z H fitojtl y are those statistics, the ESu; -ffe.[that the American farmei?j^ f . mo|3 plumbing than auy oth nrWgihcultural people in the world.

I o Indiana Taxpayers Pay §129,734,145 This Year Indianapolis. Ind., April 26 —(United Press) —State, county and township governments this year are collecting J 129.734.145 from Indiana taxpayers, it was estimated today by L. S. Bowman, state auditor. This represents an increase of nearly |3.000,000 over last year, when the sum of J 126.969.353 was collected on 1924 valuations to which ■ different rates were applied. The total state valuation last year was $5,271,576,485. of which $1,487,360,785 was in real estate. Bowman estimated that forty-two per cent of the total state tax went to schools and another eighteen per cent to roads. Marion county, with an appraised valuation of $711,638,770, shared $20,000,000 of the taxation burden. The estimates made by Bowman ■ were prepared for the 1926 state yearbook. —o CONGRESS TODAY Senate: ' Considers proposals of settlement of Belgian debt. ’ Special committee resumes federal 1 tarrih commission investigation.
