We will appreciate your renewal to the Daily Democrat this week. The flood season is at hand and the reports from over Indiana indicate that we lead iu this as we do iu most every thing. The Dearth trial may last a month, which will be terrible news for the senators if the supreme court holds that the ten dollars a day salary grab is constitutional. Much interest is being manifested in the effort being made to ascertain the desires of the public on the daylight savings question. You still have a chance to vote if you wish to. Well we have to have a larger “cow barn" at the state fair grounds. Five thousand fans failed to get in to see the finals in the state tournament Saturday night. We. wonder whether the changes being made at the postoffice are for the good of the service or the good of the party. Its whispered that some more substitutions will be made if possible. Doe Cook probably feels like that fellow they used to tell about who when told that he couldn't be put in jail for what he was imprisoned said: “No, but gee whiz, I'm here.” Doc's still in. It is predicted that Indianapolis will have 375.000 population by July Ist, which is only 625,000 off from the goal they started a year ago to shoot at. Os course the rest of the gain may be hard to get, but tlleres always a chance. ■L | It is predicted that a World war will begin May 9th of next year, which should be sufficient warning for every one to get ready to take advantage of such an event industrially, which seems to be the great reason for having wars. Over at Huntington the council passed an ordinance to prevent the children skating on the sidewalks. Now the motorists are insisting on some action which will prevent the youngsters from using the streets as they interfere with the pleasure of the autoists. Senator David I. Walsh, of Massachusetts, an able lawyer, a statesman who has twice carried his state for the seuatorship and who in the last election defeated the president's friend, Senator Butler, will be the speaker at the dedicatory services at the Catholic Community Center at Fort Wayne on April 21st. Senator Walsh is a briliant speaker and a real man who will be worth hearing. Martinsville high school won the state championship iu basketball Saturday night when they defeated Muncie at the famous "cow bams.” It was a great battle and closed the best tournament ever held in Indiana. Prentiss of Kendallville was awarded the Kimball prize, an honor which any high school boy may well feel proud of. How to reduce the valuation on farm lands and at the same time keep the good will of business men, city property owners, bankers and manufacturers and avoid increasing the

| state tax rate some eight or ten centi r is a question worrying the politician! and the powers that be at Indlanap oils. Os course it can't be done and in one way or another the consumei f will have to ultimately pay the freight / but the problem of getting votes is ull t important aud thats whuts scaring , some of those who have ambition to be governor or something else, almost to a state where they are willing to 2 quit. Among these it is reported is ® Chairman Walb. . ) Senator Watson is whistling again, j He has just given out an interview in ) which he states that he doesn't believe the veto of the farm relief act will cost the republicans aav votes. Perhaps not. They have fooled the fanner and the laboring man so often and so long that its not surprising that they think they can keep it up forever. However we have heard a ( number of farmers and likewise a lot of business folks, declare that they are sick and tired of this normalcy , program and ready to vote accordingly. The senator may be frightened next year even worse than he was last and he had a call then so close that he hasn't had much to say until recently. The Commodores fought a good fight though they finally met defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia five in the Chicago tournament. The fans here are pleased with their splendid efforts though of course disappointed that they did not succeed in capturing the honors of a national meet. They won two hard fought games from Oklahoma City and Bay St. Louis and led at the half against the Quakers, a wonderful showing for which the boys deserve commendation. The "breaks" have much to do with final results in a hard fought basketball contest and these seem to have been against the local lads again, just when a great victory seemed in their grasp. This is the third successive year the local team has been invited to the big tournament and each time they have proven their prowess in the game. We congratulate them and we congratulate Mongo Meyers who made the all-tourney team. ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ * ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago Thi® Day- ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ March 21—Every store in Decatur will close during the lot sale next Tuesday afternoon.

Editor Democrat: Through the: colums of your paper I desire to ex-' press my views as to this change of time. if the people were more concerned . about the real issues of life and less interested in such flimsy, nonsensical ideas as Daylight Saving time. Etc. the world would be far better off. There is no such animal as this, its no more tlran immagination. The hours of daylight were established in the early creation of the universe. Day and Night are of Divine origin. “God said, “Let there be light and there was light.” Man in the very beginning was not satisfied with Gods ways. You can not save one iota of time by turning our clocks back a Million years. If you desire to begin your days’ work an hour or so earlier in the A. M. that’s your business and if your neighbor desires to enjoy another hour of slumber in the cool ot the morning, that’s his business. Then for those who are satisfied with the Divine plan of creation, those who adapt themselves to actual conditions and many times those who are "Who’s Who" thats their business. If employes of a certain factory desire to begin "their days labor at 4 o'clock, A. M. so as to have in their thigh hour -by 12 all well and good (providing they can convince their employer this would be both economical and profitable) but don’t ask that we turn our clocks back four hours, and thus turn topsy turvy established conditions. If you are not satisfied with present time conditions and want to depait for other shoretg just figure that the boat leaves N. Y. approximately three hours earlier than our time and you will not miss the boat.

1,500 MARINES ARE LANDED IN SHANGHAI TODAY (Cownsi BO fhom risi onb» I the Chinese internal situation. The . American marines will protect Amer- . ican lives and property only. i Operation of the American troops, I however, will be limited strictly to I the interuatjonal settlement. The marines will not join the British lines I now extended into the native city, according to officials here. These measures have been taken j more as a precaution rather than to pievent existing disorder, it was said. With the example of Hankow be fore them, foreign officials at Shangi hai feared that the retreating northern forces might loot the native city and overflow into the foreign settlement. The American and other foreign officials are determined to prevent this at any cost. The general strike situation within the international settlement also occasions apprehension, because natives inside outnumber the foreigners. Cantonese Capture City Shanghai, Mar. 21 —(6:40 p. in.) — ' — (United Press) —Armed foreigners including 1,500 U. S. marines toSight patrolled the international settlement, prepared at all posts to extend the area from Chinese mobs or soldiers, while in the native city the Cantonese nationalists celebrated their capture of Shanghai. Countless thousands of Chinese milled in the streets this afternoon business was stopped. From the fringe of the city came the rattling sound of rifle fire. Street cars and busses were motionless and instead of the careless clatter of ordinary life, the city was pervailed by the subdued moaning sound which came from the shuffling, babbling thousands of Chinese who overflowed the city in all directions. The general strike was effective. Cotton mills were closed and it was estimated that 100,000 workers had left their jobs to celebrate the occasion. o .. . SURE WAY TO STOP NIGHT COUGHING A Treatment That Ends Night Coughs in 15 Minutes Persistent night coughing is usually due to causes which cough syrups and patent medicines do not touch. A remarkable prescription known as Thoxiue, working on an entirely different principle, goes direct to the cause, and is guaranteed to stop the stubbornest cough within 15 minutes. One swallow is all that’s needed. If it fails, get your money back. No chloroform or other harmful drugs. Safe for children. Equally good for sore throat for which purpose it is far superior to gargles. '3sc, 60c ami SIOO. The Holthouse Drug Co. NAPHTHA for cleaning. Sold by Callow & Kohne

MUCH CLOV ER IS WINTER KILLED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONB> the connection between the sweetness or sourness of the soil and the ! freezing out of clover or alfalfa. Iu * 95% of the cases it was found that where the freezing-out had occurred, [the ground tested acid. On the other hand, where the plants are “sitting tight.” and are greening up iu nice shape, the tester showed the ground to be sweet, that is. containing limestone. When soil is acid, limestone should be used to sweeten it. Several farmers can be cited who will testify they can tell to within a few inches where test strips of limestone were applied, by observing the tendency of the clover or alfalfa to freeze out. It is unnecessary to say that it is folly to sow expensive seed on soil that is sour. Farmers having soil they would like to have tested for presence or absence of limestone may obtain such service free of charge at the Exactly Suited to the needs of Elderly People There is a sound therapeutic reason why Foley's Honey and Tar Compound for coughs and colds is especially suited to the needs of elderly people.

Mildly laxative, wonderfully soothing and healing to the irritated area, Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound is a fine dependable family medicine for all coughs and throat irritations, lingering "flu” coughs and disturbing night coughs.
