Well two dandy spring days in a row. You know we are again doubting that there is anything in that ground hog stuff. Write down a figure six and then add twenty-one ciphers and then tell us how much that is. Its what in tons Dr. Heyl claims the world weighs. It you get along with that, multiply it by 2,000 and tell us what the world weighs in pounds. Last year the big business men of the country made times good by the extensive use of wise advertising and put it over in good shape, the year being one of the best since the wa* The -same thing can be done liy the' business men of each community if they will ‘quit crying and bemoaning a business depression and start out to get business. When your business is off is the very best time to advertise. Try it and watch the results If it pays we know you will keep It up and that will help you and help us and help every one in the community. The province of Ontario, Canada, will try to commercialize her new liquor laws by extending an urgent invitation to American tourists. They are now sending out circulars which .show that all you have to do to get whiskey or beer or wine or other liquors is to go to one of the government stores and buy and then take it to your tent or hotel room or any sheltered place and “steam up” to your hearts content. They expect the new law will bring sixty million United States dollars into the province this year, more than halt of which will be due to the booze business. The teacher's tenure law specifies that after a teacher has been employed in a position for kive years and is then given another contract, .he or she, has a life tenure on the job unless incompetency or unbecoming conduct can be proven, a job as difficult as impeaching Judge DearthNow we are a queer people. A part of us work to have a law enacted and then another faction immediately begins to discover away to beat it. So in this case the trustees are organizing and by the simple method of releasing the teacher before the five years ’s up. Allen, Wells and Huntington county officers have already organized along that line and dozens of others will do so over the state. It is estimated that more than two and a half million families in the United States are now' buying homes through building and loan associations. During the past year these organizations have financed more than half a million home buyers. In addition, hundreds of thousands of homes are being purchased each year, through other agencies and for cash. The families of our country are now buying homes on an unprecedented scale. The increase in home-buyers during the past six years has been about 70 per cent. More than 300,000 new one-family houses are being erected annually. Nothing could more graphically illustrate the extent of our national thrift than this wide spread desire to our people to own their homes. The buying of a home is the greatest step in the life of a family. A Boston newspaper has compiled

I a census of college students and finds there are 750,000 young men and women in the United States attending various colleges and universities. The increase during the last year was 12,000. European countries can not . realize the situation here. In France 1 the average community of 10,000 , population sends thirteen students to college. Great Britain sends fifteen students from that number of people, ■ while the United States sends sixty I boys and gir\s to college from the i average community of lO.OOb people. ’ It will be only a few years until the i United States has 1,000.000 college 1 students. While it costs two to four times as much to go to college now as it did thirty years ago, yet the proportion of students who earn their own way is much larger than in former years. Four times as many students are in college now as were enrolled in 1900. —Newcastle Times. Among the other wonderful things for which the legislature can boast is that of increasing the speed of automobiles on the country roads to forty miles an hour. Thats bad news for the chickens and the constables but just think of the fun the fast drivers can now have. They also increased the budget nearly three million dollars over that of 1925, authorized an additional educational tax which will produce $1,200,000 annually, added $500,000 for salaries and additional courts and ordered the teacher’s retirement fund and the auto theft money which has been used, put back, making a total of more than six million dollars additional to be raised and then just to make it an impossible inigma, ordered taxes reduced. If you can figure it out and then have any praise for Coffin or Boss Walb, wish you would do it. o +++ + + * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 1 ♦ 4 ♦ From the Dally Democrat File 4 4 Twenty Years Ago This Day. 4 »♦♦♦«♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦♦« (March 11 —Decatur opens campaign ’ to raiqc $50,000 for factory fund. 51 acres purchased and divided into 227 lots which will be sold at auction on March 26.

TRY SULPHUR ON AN ECZEMA SKIN t Costs Little And Overcomes Trouble Almost Over Night Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching ecaema, can be quickly overcome by applying Mentho-Sul-phur, declares a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying properties, this sulphur preparation instantly brings ease from skin irrita- ■ tion, soothes and heals the eczema ! right up and leaves the skin clean and | smooth. | It seldom fails to relieve the torment without delay. Sufferers from ■ skin trouble should obtain a small jar -'of Kowles Mentho-Sulphur from any i good ruggist anfl use it like cold cream.

Ilf you like being hemmed in at a table By men who keep their feet upon your chair; It you can hold your temper in such babel And never ask for room or beg for tjir; If you don’t hope to please your partner wholly; If you can bear his censure with a grin, And smile when perfect strangers whisper lowly How several tricks you could have gathered in; If you can pitch a portion of your salary Upon the table when the game is done And still be friend to players and the gallery, I’ll say that you have well-deserved your fun.

Much Synthetic Blood Used In Motion Pictures 1 By Dan Campbell (United Press Staff Correspondent) Hollywood, March 11. — (United: Press)—An old tradition goes that the "ten, twent’, thirt’” theatres of the depaited century were forced to close tor a period from time to time to "pump the blood out of the cellar.” More synthetic blood is used in motion pictures than was ever found in the basement of the aforesaid thea--1 ties. It is considered quite an art to manu facture this synthetic article so that it will photograph just exactly right under all sorts of lighting. The receip follows: One bucket. A handful of powdeied carmirr paint Two quarts of water. A ladle for stirring. Another Fairbanks comes to (lie . screen!

How Old Is Your I Oldest Doctor Bill? I Look through vour unpaid bills. Is the oldest bill there the doctor's ■ bill? | \\ hy do you pny everyone else first ;i id leave him until the last’ ■ If it is because you know he will not press you severely and the others ■ will, isn't it only fair to pay first the doctor, who is most lenient? ■ Don’t penalize your doctor just because he has tried to be. “easy” I with you. * i Never forget that he came whenever you called, night or day. He S gave freely of his time and experience— the only two things he has to gel I paid for. j| He came willingly v-without a grouch, without a fret. He tries fl humanely to help you, or your dear ones. i And now that the trouble is past, the crisis o'er -are you as faithful | to him? I Or do you still neglect to pay his bill? Do you always, when your I money conies in, put his bill on the bottom and pay others whom you I know will make you sutler if you delay? I Think how unfair this is. Unfair to the faithful doctor, and unfair I to your reputation as an honest citizen. g You play a cruel game when you let your doctor’s hill get old. He needs money just as you do. Suppose other people from whom you derive your inconfe shoukl hold up your money? Wouldn't you have a right to he angry? If you cannot pay, say so. If you can pay part and do not, then there is only one thing that can be true- you are a “dead-beat”- a person who has the money. l»ut will not pay his honest debts. Stop, now—and think. How old is your oldest doctor bill? Ts this shoe fits—it is your own fault. And your doctor, as he reads this, is thinking of you! Advertisement. : I • ■■■•■
