You will feel better and be better and the community needs a revival of interest in the things your 'church stands for. Will Rogers suggests as a means of handling traffic in the cities that only those be permitted to pass who have a rfbfipt showing their car is paid for and declares this would remove about three-fourths of the pesky things. There are still several hundred eligible voters in the county who have not qualified by registering. Some of these wer e registered two years ago but in the meantime have moved or changed their names. These should register before October Ith as should the first voters. Dr. E. 8. Shumaker In a bravado manner has again attacked the supreme court of Indiana, accusing them of being unfair in their decisions in liquor cases. We can't just figure whether he is trying to break, into jail or the lecture arena. Perhaps he thinks he knows what he's talking about* The showers let up for twenty-four hours and we are hoping along with •several million other citizens of the tniddle west, that they will blow over for a week or two. The loss has been the worst from floods for ;’.as season of year ever recorded ant while not so large in this immediate section, are sufficient to cause alarm. There should be no abatement of interest in Dairy Day and we predict there wiii be none.” 'l ie occasion should be tnade one that will leave .• - ur feeling towards them. Remember the date— Tuesday, October 19tb. Dets put it over with a BANG. $53,000,000 is what was raised by taxes in Indiana for this year. Some difference between that and the very modest sum raised by Governor Ralston when he was in power not so long ago. Don't you really think its time to pass up the .old fashioned bunk of “why change" when thats the only argument offered? Democrats are encouraged this year by the optimistic reports from Marion, St. Joseph. Allen and others of the larger counties where they expect to show majorities in the November election. The tide is against the present state and national administrations and it will get stronger as the days and weeks go by between now and election day in November. Norman Derlram. an Englishman, swam the English channel yesterday and repeated the feat of lowering the record established a month ago by Miss Ederle. So many are cutting across that supposedly impossible tract oL water that we are expecting the'explanation that the channel has been narrowed by some means or there has been a change of tides ■which makes it more accessible. Any way they will have to soon hunt up Something more difficult in the swim ming line. * Evans Woollen, democratic candidate for United States senator wtii speak in Decatur, Saturday reeding.

October 2nd, it Is announced from state headquarters. The meet lug should be made the signal and no doubt will for the opening of lh t . cam paign iu this county. Mr. Woollen is a splendid speaker, a real thinker, a t man worth hearing aud knowing for he stands for the vory best interests ' of every citizen of the great state of Indiana. He made a tour through , this county a few weeks ago and at > that time met a number of the voters j who we are sure will want to hear ) his address on the 2nd when he will ‘ discuss the various issues at'length. , I— msbb Thats a right pretty scrap for the pennant in tire National baseball league. St. Louis and Cincinnati seem to have knocked thu Pittsburg Pirates off for the season and are battling i» out to a finish. The Cardinals and Reds were even yesterday but in the tenth inniug of a hotly contested battle New York defeated Cincinnati when Frisch hit a home run. St. Louis won their game from Philadelphia, putting them one full game to the good over Cincinnati. As the season nears the close, the fans are watching the results with the msual interest to see who will play it off with the New York Yankees for the world championship. Several committees have been named for Dairy Day and the next several weeks will be busy with preparations for the event which is to be made a genuine welcome for every farmer who will visit Decatur on Tuesday, October 19th. The finance committee will organize immediately and proceed to raise the funds necessary to provide a barbecue, the program committee, the advertising group and the barbecue bunch will complete their plans during the next few days, assuring plenty of tim e to work out every detail and put the day over in such a manner that every one will be pleased and delighted. These' events are good for the community and should bring the farmer and merchant into closer relationship. And that counts. —o ♦ ♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY + ♦ ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago Thia Day. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Sept. 18.

HUNTERS WARNED TO USE CAUTION Conservation Department Issues List Os “Don’ts” For Hunters Indianapolis. Ind. Sept, 18. —Special to Decatur Daily Democrat) —Annually the hunting season fast approaching takes its toll of human life due to carelessness. To help prevent such casualties, George N MannfeH, superintendent of the fish and game division of the state conservation department, has issued a few "Don’ts" for hunters in phamplet form which is being sent to fish and game protective associations over the, state for distribution to members. He' suggests: “Don't carry a loaded gun on the street, in car or in an automobilenor - leave it around the Ji/use where children can get at it. “Don't load your gun until you are actually hunting; at other times keep it empty. “Don't get excited or hasty in using a shotgun: be sure you know what you are shooting at before pulling the trigger. Carelessness in handling a gun may mean amre death to someone. Stop, look and listen. Safety first. “Don't point a gun at any person tn fun. In most cases it was (he gun thought unloaded that went off and killed someone. "Don't rest your gun against a sense or tree nor put the barrel on the ground so it wilt become choaked. A gull filled with mud or dirt is dangerous. “Don't use a cheap gun; it is liable to explode. "6on't borrow or loan a gun or dog. If you do, you may regret it some day. “Don't abuse your dog. Mankind has no older or better friend. “Don't forget that a gun needs cleaning. “Don't be careless with matches Manv fore<i fire« h'-cve been -.tarred by careless hunters ;>nd thousands of dollars worth of property destroyed. ' 1> m t be a game hog. but be a I chance. “Den t forget yot-r license and obey game. laws. "Don't hunt on any land without permission. If granted, act like a gentleman always.” ' oAviator Admits Smuggling 18 Aliens Into Michigan > Detroit, Mich.. Sept. 18.—(United Press)—Virgil Simons. 29, former ’ manage* l ot Packard flying field hete. ’ today confessed that during the, past * three months he had smuggled 18 Aliens into Michigan from Ontario by airplane. Immigration authorities who are holding Simmons announced the aviator admitted he engaged in the smug - gling to obtain fund; to meet an obli - gation incurred in an unsuccessful business venture. 4 o Wave Os “Love Crimes” Sweeping Spain; Lovers Kill On Slightest Pretex - Madrid.—(United Press.)—A wave of “love crimes" is passing over Spain For the last threq or four months nearly every day, has added to the 8 list of victims the names of younj *" girls who were either killed or injur ed by their “novio” or lover. The latest of these “tragedies d< amor" which resulted in the death o two lovers, took place in Ginzo. Gal icia. Rafael Boente was engaged t< , f pretty Consuelo Barciela, whose fath II er lived in Cuba. Consuelo’s mothe was not opposed to the marriage o the cptlple but demanded they wai until the father had returned fron America. Rafael would not listen. The day he learned there was n ■s charfbe of getting married immediate ly he shot his “novia" rm the dborste 'd.cf her mother’s home Consuelo wa

She ran to a neighbor's house Rafael pursued aud I shot her again, this time fatally, j Whereupon, he shot himself and fell i dead on the body of his sweetheart. Grado, in Asturias, was the scene |of another typical crime. Amalia j Queipo refused to fox-trot with Jose 1 Molina and was stabbed in the back in the midst of a dance. A few days before, a similar drama 1 had taken place in Almeria, where ' the ex-“iiovfo" of a senorita belong- ' ing to a prominent family assassinat- ’ ed her In the Casino Municipal. In most cases, it fs the man who murders the woman, but in several instances the woman acted first, with the same fatal results. Spanish love is still as dangerous as ever and Carmen's "Beware!” remains unchanged. O — " — - Western Union Lays New Cable Across Atlantic | The laying of the new permalloyloaded telegraph cable from England to New York by the Western Union Telegraph company is the most impoitant event in the history of international communication since human speech was transmitted from Arlington to Paris in 1915 and a permalloy line was laid by the same companv from New York to the Azores last year. , . v The addition of permalloy to .1 sub-sea cable, embodying one of the scientific principles which has made long-distance telephony possible, marks the first great improvement in deep-aea cables since Cyrus Field connected the continents by wire iu 1858. In the race between radio and the cable for supremacy in trans-Atlantic communication, this new cable puts the older, but far .from obsolete method of transmitting messages across the sea several laps ahead. The popular idea that the success thus far of international radio spells the eventual doom of the cable is hardly borne out when cable* companies continue to spend the Several millions which a new cable costs, with full knowledge of radio's capacity and the lines cf its probable i„ ure development. Wha'rv. ■■ the future may hold 'n • 1,1 wave and the copper strand as carriers of international messages, the advantage of the moment is all witli , the cable on the points of speed, cer- . tainty, and secrecy and, potentially if not actually, the point of cost. The Union's new “loaded" cable can transmit legible signals at least five times as rapidly as any deep-sea I cable heretofore laid, of the same size and length, while its overhead charges j are little if any greater than those r of a pair of trans-Atlantic wireless ■. stations, while the operating cost of t the cable is definitely less. y Burglar Found In Bed By Husband And Wife p i- London. — (United Press.) — Mrs. ; Amelia Lyons, wife of a transport i- worker at Hull declares that three tl persons in one bed is one too many—especially when the third person was a burglar. Mrs. Lyons awok? the other nighr to find a third person in the bed she and her husband were occupying. She gave one wild whoop and the stranger and her husband bounded out ot e bed simultaneously. The stranger 1 reached the door first. Shortly afterB * wards a police arrested Frederick e Poughe, 40. a pedler, who 'xas subg sequently sentenced to three months r ‘ hard labor for being “found on enclosed premises.” le o M ROYAL FISHERWOMAN .1- London. — (United Press.)—Eliza :o beth. t£e exiled Queen of Greece, like h- Queen Marie of Roumania, is an ex sr pert and enthusiastic fisherwoman of This summer she has been spending it most of her holiday on the east coast m of England, out in a boat with as ancient fizherwotnan as her guide io The fisherwoman is as clever a sail e- or as any man in the east coast dis sp trict and ex-Queen Eliaabeth «njoy»! as her company.

'M. E. HOSPITALS IRE IMPROVED Report Made By Superintendent Os Four M. E. Hospitals In State Evansville. Ind.. Sept. 18- <1 nited Press)—Definite improvement in the four Methodist Episcopal hospitals of Indiana was made during the year. Dr George M. Smith, superintendent of the hospitals. ,told members of the Indiana conference of the church, now in session here today. In addition to improvements already made, Dr. Smith outliaed several pro-| posed improvements to be made with-| In the next year. Church officials are contemplating I the erection ot a new nurses home In .connection with the Methodist hos-, pital at Indianapolis. Dr. Smith reported and present plans will provide for accomodation of 200 nurses. In addition, a five story unit it expected to be erected there shortly. The Indianapolis hospital administered treatments to 1 1.687 patients during the past fiscal year. Dr. Smith stated in his report, and of this number over 8.000 were surgical cases Free work for the year totaled more than $122,000, h estated. Despite this fact the Indianapolis institution shows a balance of $19,000 in its treasury, Dr. Smith said. The Princeton hosptal—the second Methodist institution situated within the Indana conference—is in very good condition, the report said. The hospital has a capacity of 27 patients and the average number is twenty-two. At the piesent there is no need of addiional buildings there. DRY CZAR HAS NEW POLICIES (CONTIMVBD FROM PAO« asked to have letter carriers, rural carriers and other employes report location of stills and wild cat breweries. The labor department will be urged to use its border immigration inspectors to reinforce the prohibition patrols. The agriculture department will probably use its field forces to report moonshine plants. Attorney General Sargent will probably be requested to have his department cooperate more closely with the treasury in securing prosecutions. President Coolidge may even request cabinet officers to designate special officials to cooperate with Andrews in the dry drive. Andrews is understood to have advised Secretary of the Treasury Mel-
