Divorces gained the past year, ac cording to statistics from Washing 1 ton, and mairiages were considerable less this year than last. Sometimes we doubt that the world is growing better day by day, as is claimed by some. The Northern Indiana fair will open two weeks from today with a program designed by those who are backing this proposition to satisfy every one who attends. There will be features vaudeville good races, a l ' big commercial and auto show, plenty to see and much to do. A dozen'well i.n.ovn im ii sure devoting their tlm | ■kit i ■mini* 1 ■' We noticed that only a few of the , lights along the main street of the town wele on last night and the ' downtown section had a dreary appearance. We like light and lots of | it, and the finest improvement in Decatur are the ornamental posts, bat unless they arg turned on in the evenings they don't give light. A Dollar Day will attract a lot of I buyers from a long distance and many of them will not trade here unless you give special inducements. Why don't we try one or two us a test? We haven't made an effort along this line since the gift days were abandons and it's time we did, don't you think? It's not a game but it's good business. The city council has adopted a new city ordinance for the regulation of traffic within the city of Decatur and it will be strictly enforced. The official i should have the fullest supply, t and co-operation by the good citizens, for only by observing certain rules can there be such regulation of tiaffic as will insure safety f(sr all drivers and pedestrians. The problem' is a big and important one not only here but everywhere, and we all want it so arranged here that the greatest, good will be derived by everyone. President Coolidge and his admtn--Ist:ation are Insisting that this nation join the World Court and it is the hope that this may be accomplished during the present era. Just What good we could do now. eight or nine years after the opportunity is past to accomplish anything of good, has never been even guessed at, but we suppose there is some very excel-

lent reason for dragging us into a 1 world controversy. Senators Watson and Robinson will no doubt make it all very clear and plain before the campaign is over. Under the now traffic rules no “U” turns will bo permitted, and that's exactly right. You may think It an inconvenience occasionally, but It is necessary because there are a few foolish drivers who Insist on abusing rights, faist evening we noticed one reckless driver who four times came up to the corner of Second and Madison, while the auction was in progress, and turn his car so that it frightened those gathered near’the corner. Freuently cars drive up to a corner and swing around in dangerous fashion, and it is miraculous that more accidents have not occurred. Under the new ordinance this will be forbidden. i It is now officially announced that 350,000 men are devoting jheir lives to crime, are making a profession of lawlessness in one form or another. That's one man out of every 150. Doesn't seem possible, nor is it true of course in communities like this, I but in the larger cities the ratio is much larger than in the rural sections. One reason for the increase in crime is the fact that law violators are not punished quickly enough . or severely. Only thirty-four out of I . every 100 murderers are ever brought to trial, and only one per cent of that nuinbr pay the final penalty. There should be more effort to capture criminals and to convict them speedily if the world is to improve. * o ■>+++++++ + + + + + + ♦ + * BIG FEATURES * * of RA D I O + | * + r *+*+++*++ + + * + + + + ’ E Thursday's Five Best Radio Features'<■ Copyright. 1926, by United Press Centra!

The estinuite for ' 1925 is $55,nnn,000,000. 1 “The business of agriculture has been so hard pressed by the continual disadvantages under which it has ( been placed that it has suffered a loss of s2o.non.non.non. a loss of $2h.000,n00,000 in five years’” He cited the relative values of farm and agricultural business and that of ail other commercial enterprises, showing that the 1920 values of agriculture was nearly twice that of all the manufacturing business of the nation. "la 1920." he said, “.ill th" mantiHl 11 "Auld have been purchased for Zto--900.000,0000. according to official es-

You expect your car to run smoothly and quietly up hill or down in all kinds of weather — whether the load is heavy or light. It will do this— if you do your part! Your part is to* see that all its needs are supplied. Every car needs gasoline and water and the right kind of oil. If you consider what goes on in the engine you will realize the importance of the right oil Metal surfaces in the engine are moving at terrific speed. Friction aggravated by particles of grit and intense heat is present, always. The engine needs an oil that will protect its whirring surfaces all the time under all conditions. If you do not supply this need you should not expect your car to run quietly and smoothly—it hasn’t a chance. What oil will stand the strain of heat and friction? What oil can you depend upon, always, to protect the fast moving surfaces of the engine? The thousands of motorists who are tired of experimenting will tell you to use Polarine. Polarine lubricates the engine thoroughly, maintaining its film of oil under all conditions. The results are smooth-as-velvet, oil cushioned surfaces- — and a quiet, smooth running engine. If your car always is in the garage for repairs, if it runs jerkily and squeakily — drain out the old oil, fill the crank case with Polarine—and give your car a chance!
