Surely this bright spring morning made you forget your worries and your troubles and lose your pessimism and decide to go out and do something for yourself and every one else. If the live thousand people of this community would smile and declare that times are good and things alright, they would be. About two-thirds of the ingredients of good times is confidence and thats all up to us. Oh well, there is nothing to prevent those who want daylight saving time getting up an hour earlier and going to bed that much sooner in the even- , ing. . After all, we don’t have much to do" with saving or spending daylight. Its fixed by the sun. The flood waters receded the past , twenty-four hours even much faster , than they came up, much to the relief , of thousands of folks over Indiana and j the middle west. The water reached | the highest stage since 1913 and of ; course did great damage in many ; places . ( . j New Yoik City, according to Arthur j Brisbane, has over 20,000 speakeasies, > which are old-fashioned saloons under 5 a new fashioned name. Its very queer ] that the more money we Spend qfjd; " the more prohibition officers we em- , ploy, the greater becomes the" traffic. ( Must be some reason. A The Dearth case is on at Indianapolis and will ptobably furnish head- ( lines for a week or two and perhaps < longer. Indications are that the sent;ment of the senators is against him , and that delays will not be tolerated ( but you never can tell just what will happen in an impeachment trial and this seems to be a finish fight.

The business men of Decatur will meet in their first luncheon under the administration of Cal E. Peterson, Monday evening at 6:15 o'clock and the board desires that you attend if you are interested in making this a better town in every way. Lets don't get lazy and just let things slip along. Lets help Cal Peterson make this a big year. If you owned a water well in Weepah, Nevada, you would have just as profitable business as though you owned the gold mine which has caused a rurdi of people to that section. Water is selling for ten cents a glass and when a fellow wants a drink of water he is not going to contest the price for any great length of time. It is brought in now in tanks and hauled some thirty miles. - Rev. Harry Fernthiel was installed last evening as the pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city and was given a sincere welcome by the people of his congregation. Rev. Fernthiel is a capable and able minister and he will find this a splendid community of excellent people. We believe his residence in Decatur will be a happy one and on behalf of all the citizens of this city, we welcome him and his family. ‘'Peaches” Btowning is back where she started from when she sat out to land the millionaire who wanted to adopt and then marry a fit'teen-year-old girl. The court has held thafher husband need not pay her any alimony and she’s all out of luck. She has lived on an expensive scale so long

that she perhaps feels she can't get along on leas than S3OO a week, but sho> can. At least a lot of folks do and arc perhaps much happier than she has cveu been. Judge Dearth offers as a defense that he has lived a clean life which however doesn't give him the right to confiscate property without due process of law or to pack juries to win a case, even if he thought he was right, or operate his court as a tyrant, which are the things with which he' is charged. He seems to be trying to j divert attention from the real Issues. A judge should act as a court and pass upon those things which regularly come before him. without trying] to be the detective, prosecutor and 1 jury if we understand the constitution' of Indiana and that of the United States. The recent session of the legislature authorized the appointment of a; commission of lawyers to codify the laws, and it will be a part of the com-| mision's duties to search for old acts that no longer are operative, and recommend their repeal. Understanding all the state laws that apply generally is out of the question for the layman — and apparently for some lawyers. The most recent compilation

runs into three bulky volumes. Most persons know that it is a crime to kill, steal, trespass or be guilty of obvious wrongs. There is general familiarity with the observance of the prohibition law for the reason that it is discussed so widely. The motoring public is more or less familiar with its rights and duties under the law. It is lawful to chase a golf ball all day Sunday, but contrary to the peace and dignity of the state to chase a On the other hand, there is little understanding of the laws affecting real estate, leases, rents, corporations, taxes, housing, municipal and state government and a thousand other subjects. He who needs to know any law usually sees a lawyer. He could read the laws in any library, but he would not understand them if he did. and in that connection he is no worse off than some of the legal fMiWmitl. If.there was agreement as to what the laws mean and the manner of their application many courts could be abolished. — Indianapolis News. o —- »+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ 4> Twenty Years Ago This Day. * »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ March 23.—Over 200 have signed pledges to buy lots next Tuesday.

X X X XXXXXXXXX X X X X X X X X Harmony Needed Editor of Democrat:— Schools are schools, churches are churches, man Is man, distinct yet inseparable. Each is an institution, each indispensable, one to the other for man as well as woman. Each should be an agent for betterment at large, for community good fellowship as well as for the individual. Harmony and accord should be induced and promoted as well as broader aspects on life, citizenship and materialism. Are they doing it today? If not. is our educational aystem of instruction functioning to the extent us which it is capable? If no, is the church influence a superficial veneer to be put on and taken off at will? If not, has tlie individuals altitude failed to grasp a full stand point of his relation to the community? What is the answer to the riddle? A case in point is the south west township of this county. There are churches in the south end and churches in the north end and an up to date school sys'.t m. The people con tribute financially to send missionaries to China, yet the township itself cannot compose its own differences. There ate good people in each end and possibly some in the middle but as for harmony it isn’t existing, it is like two tom cats fast by their tails and thrown over a wire. Anyone with u little imagination can grasp how they work together. This attitude is noticable at once by anyone coming into the community. The queer thing about it is that good people are in each section and each seem sincere, yet how can each be right? If our nation could not endure half slave and half free hadn’t these two setions bette: compromise their differences before enmities are stirred up to last a life time. Over a decade ago a school fight was engaged in that still leaves its impression. And today there is another school fight. Some time it appears like the case where some boys were swimming in a creek. A. man came down and told them he didn’t want them to swim there any more because his girl could see them. “Gee Whiz", said the boys “We are most a mile away". "Yes. 1 know but my girl has a telescope" Possibly each end is using a telescope on the other end of the township. Spys have actually gene to the opposite ends and reported what was going on. Shocking, you say. Yes, but the truth. Today over the school question charges have been passed back and forth. Why not have the entire township together in a big get together meeting. The question of a big undertaking like the addition of another wing to the central school surely interests every taxpayer not only for his childrens sake but as to itsnecessity, expense, etc., as compared to the present consolidated building, in inadequate facilities or sufficient for the amount of pupils at hand, if these questions as well as others would be discussed openly so that everybody would get the straight facts then 1 believe much ill feeling and discord would be eradicated. What are churches for if the people do not put ;nto practice its teachings’ What are schools for if education turns people into irreconcilables? Should they expand or disband or become recharged? This is a teriible lacing, folks, I know but'people are entitled to live happily together. And after spending thoiisaiids of dollars annually for instruction it is a shame to have the township thus torn by dissenions uselessly. Think it over, folk. Get together and think much and wisely.

WARN HOLDOUTS Pennock And Roush May Be Suspended And Fined By Henry L. Farrell (U. P. Staff Correspondent) New Yoik. Mar. 23.—(United Press) - Baseball's two champion holdouts,' Eddie Roush and Herb Pennock will be fined heavily, suspended and placed on the ineligible list if they do not report to the New York clubs before lie season rfpens .it was divulged today from a source close to the two club owners. Hero Pennock, mainstay of the Yankee pitching staff and recognized as the best left-handed in baseball, is feeding and skinning silver foxes at his farm in Pennsylvania and refuses i to talk even to his employers. Pennock, who thinks that twenty j games which he believes he can turn] in for the Yankees arc worth $1,090 ! each, has turned back an offer of $lB.000 a season with the ultimatum that! he'll stay with his foxes if he doesn’t get his price. Eddie Roush, pioneer holdout, who' caused the Cincinnati Reds a heart attack by reporting to the training camp once or twice, is receiving his mail on the banks of a fishing creek in Indiana. Owners of the Giants, who gave George Kelly to the Reds for Roush, say they don't know what Roush wants in the way of compensation. They made him an offer which he stuck in his fishing jacket and wandered down to the creek to think over. • Major league club owners are not averse to publicity and public attention is directed to holdouts of such 1 prominence. But there comes a time when a little baseballing jnsead of' newspaper notices is more essential to the success of a club. Pennock said a few days ago that he hadn't iiad a ball in his hands since .he world series. Rousli probably is the same. John McGraw and Miller Huggins, who are concerned chiefly in getting I a combination working that so far lacks its key man. aren’t fearful that their rebels will be all out of shape when they do report—if they do report —but they know that Pennock can’t go nine innings with a cold arm ! and that Roush can't start belting the ball .300 with a rusty eye. it is still an even money bet. however, that Pennock will not remain with his foxes and that Roush will hang up his fishing pole before the season starts or Is fur under way. — o • Artist Made Famous By Prince Os Wales L indon (United Press) —The J’riuce of Wales has probably “made" an unknown girl artist. He was loking out of a window of Ills home in York House when he noticed a young women making sketches in Friary Court. 'Becoming interested, he went down to chat with her and look at her work. Later the "Prince Charming" sent General Trotter,/in cquery to tell the young woman that, he would like to see her pictures. He was pleased with them, and retained three.

Political Training School For Women Is Opened In Washington Washington. (United Press)—Political training school for women was opened here today by the league of Republican Women of the District of Columbia. Women from all parts of the country were invited to attend to make a study of politics and economic subjects of debate in order that they might be authentically informed on the Intricacies of current political topics. The first of these political training courses was conducted here in 1924 and more than 480 women received instructions. So successful was the school and so great has been the demand for another course of a like nature iu advance of the 1928 presidential campaign, that it was decided to conduct the school again. "Our purpose is primarily for the teaching of the principles of Republicanism to women who contemplate active work in future campaigns." said Mrs. E. A. Harriman, vice president of the organization." “We wish to explain to them the various policies of the present Republican administration." President Coolidge has been invited to address the school. Had Six Years of Stomach Agony Now She Eats Anything, Sleeps Soundly and Gaining Weight. “I had severe stomach and bowel trouble for over six years. Had dizzy spells and at times would have fallen if I had not had something to hold to. Was awfully nervous, had gas on my stomach most all the time, severe cramps and agonizing pains. I felt like I was raw from the bottom of my stomach clear up to my throat, and I had to take soda all the time. My first and only relief came from Viuna. After the second dose I could feel it was helping me. j After the second bottle all the gas, ' cramps, etc., disappeared for good, ' and now I can eat anything with- . out one bit of fear. My appetite is good, my nervousness gone, and 1 .sleep like a baby at night.
