Chicago dentists say wo ought to eat alfalfa and the Flint Journal inquires what we would then. Don't Joke too much about the groundhog and his guess. He may get mad and show you a few tricks yet. President Coolidge feels that his term started after he was elected and not when he followed Mr.. Harding. Strange how great minds differ. Theodore Roosevelt decided the other way. There were more murders in nineteen American cities in January than England had in five years. Os course we step faster in every thing in this country than they do in ’ England or any where else for that matter, bat the real -reason for this great difference is our lax methods of law enforcement. The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel is worried because McAdoo i» dry ami Smith is wet for fear neither could establish a rational prohibition policy. Ami yet they htvv e .Andrew Mellon, secretary of the treasury, in charge of the enforcement of the liquor regulations nd no one denies that much of his fortune was made by distilling liquor. Just some more bunk. A bill providing for the reappraisemeat of property ami designed to render relief to the farmers of Indiana, has passed the senate and now goes to the house. The biggest question so far as taxes are concerned is equalization and whether or not this bill if It becomes a law as now seems probable, will do that, will depend of course largely on how it is done. We can only wait and see ami hope. The animal meeting of the Decatur , Industrial Association will be held at' the Knights of Pythias home on Third | I street next Monday night and the program includes a talk by Howard Wisehanpt. America's leading "pep man," and a native of this city. Every business man should buy a ticket to the banquet and b e there, take part in the discussions and help plan to make this the best year we ever had. Its all up to us as citizens-any way. • A fellow named Anstess is under arrest in Indianapolis for shipping in $30,001) worth of hard liquor and French wines labeled “household goods.” Wonder how' many loads of that kind really get away from them. We are sure there are many that are overlooked for In city today - are dozens of places where you can buy, according to best information, most any tiling you want ip the liquor line. If you violate the highway laws of Indiana regarding the hauling of excessive loads over soft roads you subject yourself to a fine of SSOO and a few doses of that size would go a long ways towards stopping the practise. You wouldn't take an axe and see how much damage you could do to your house, but its just about as expensive when you foolishly destroy a highway when you must turn right around and pay for rebuilding or repairing it. We believe the present slight slump in business, and according to those who keep track of such things there is such a condition, will pass w‘ h the

| opening of spring and those ’ muuitles mid those individuals which refuse to be effected by those "ups and downs” as shown by the markets, will go straight ahead any way. Lets puts a little snap in our community, , lets get the lead out of our heels and " step along. We can do Jt if we wain 10. Petitions have been Hied asking tor hard surface highways approaching Decatur on Nuttman avenue and Monroe street from the west. These two streets lead to the Decatur and the St. Joseph cemeteries and of all roads are perhaps most Important. The streets should be constructed, should be of brick or cement and should be built this year. Os course they will cost something but it is well to remember that we cannot progress without the expenditure of money and we must progress if we are to keep up with other American cities. We not only want to keep up but a little ahead. The contract with the Decatur Country Club has been signed and acknowledged by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Schulte and duly tiled with the county recorder. It provides for an eighteen hole golf course, a country club duly equipped for the convenience of those who wish to avail themselves of the many pleasures which go with a modern place of this kind and that* the thing of greatest interest to the oue hundred and fifty or tv)o hundred people who signed membership cards. Mr. Schulte assures us that the work will progress and that the club grounds and club house will be completed just as promised. Properly supported the club will be one of the 'finest in the country and the scene of many happy hours for hundreds of people. - ;■» -O — ** * + + ++ + ♦♦+♦♦ + + + ♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ * ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ + Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦*++++++++++*♦♦• February 9. — Bluffton claims their new piano factory will employ 250 men.

By Robert L. Board, (U. I’, Staff Corrqapondcnt) Indianapolis. Fen. 9. - — (United Press.) —Undismayed by the celerity with which petitions are railroaded tlirongil the senate to "committee consideration,” thousands of petitioners throughout the state continue to heap their pleas upon legislative desks. Two topics hold chief interest for petition-minded Hoosiers, legislative journals show: "House bill 39,” the Huffman medical injunction — chiropractic measure; and modification thrusts at the Wright bone-dry law. Literally thousands of names were affixed to petitions which were s lowered on the senate at the opening of this week's session. From all parts of the state came volumnous sheafs protesting passage of the Huffman bill. Opposition voiced-I>y the chiropractors of Indiana is echoed by their patients and sympathizers in the fi rm of letters, telegrams and lengthy petitions. Chiropractors have long sought a s parate board of their own profession for the regulation of chiropractic in Indiana. The Huffman bill was so amended as to provide for the appointment of a chiropractor to the state medical oard. which would then he charged v.i:h the regulation of chiropractic. Probably the longest petition of 1 NOAH AND HIS ARK DISCUSSED ICIIVTIM i:i> I'HOM PAGE OMU <- | imt obey Him. "As Chri»tian<“we must be active. A rusty Christian can do nothing. Gt t scoured up.

Um iqt submitted In behalf of chiropractors was the one exhibited Monday by Sen. Earl W. Payne, Bloomington, contains 1,000 names. Although the legislative calendar Just now sliow.s no formidable attack on the state's dry laws, there is no let-up in the number of petitions praying strengthening of these laws and opposing modification. Sen. John H. Hewitt, Terre Haute, as chairman of the Senate committee on public health, lias the task of coralitig all the anti-Huffman bill petitions for consideration of his committee; while wet and dry please are stacked on the desk of Sen: John C. Sherwood, Mitchell, chairman of the committee on public morals.Th ■ vast number of petitions presented and the time that would be required for their rending on the floor of the senate has provoked two brief but bitter debates in that branch of tho legislature. Lieutenant Governor'F. Harold VanOrman, the Senate's presiding officer, has declared he lias no desire or intention to Stille the rights of petitioners to be heard, but that in the int rest of the "business of the sena t" hours cannot lie devoted to tho reading of petitions. Every day the call for “any petitions, memorials or remonstrances” brings a dozen or more senators to their feet waving a handful of petitions from the “home folks.” CARD OF THANKS We wish in this manner to express ; our sincerest thanks to the neighbors | ’ and friends who so kindly extended, their sympathy and assistance at the time of the death of -our dear Mother .ami Grandmother; also tor the beautiful flowers and the consoling words of the Rev.
