A very fine morning after the first thunder shower of the year. Elden C. Dewit died in New York the otner uay and left his widow an, estate of®sSs.ooo,ooo. He amassed it' by manufacturing and advertising ' "Little Early Risers.” The batik bandits have started to , rifling the safety deposit boxes for cash and bonds. They cleaned out fifty at Brown’s Valley early Monday J morning, damaged rae vault so it couldn't be opened. Indiana is not in the dark ages as charged in the Chicago Tribune but is making the serious mistake of trying to follow Illinois with her Sam Small and Chicago with her Bill Thompson. Several hundred people in the United States made more than a million dollars last year and the fellow who has just a million or two and an income of a hundred thousand a year is just an every day guy. Tomorrow marks the tenth anni-|, versary of America's entrance into ( the World war. The great forces set ■ in motion by that act are still moving and we do not know even yet what their final outcome will be. The world continues topsy turvy and we, are paying in many ways for the' effort to save a war made world. The commissioners find the Monroe street bridge quite a problem- Evi-.

The county managers will use their best judgment in trying p to save the structure and incidentally t 1 the large sum that a new bridge would ‘ 1 cost. Following their plans made a year ( ago the Decatur officials have been ‘ granted the right by the public serv- < ice commission to reduce the general 1 rates in Decatur a half cent per kilo- : wat hour. The rate will be 7% cents ( it is announced instead of eight cents. 1 , Its a splendid showing for a gootF< town that is sure to get better by such ' management. I A fellow named Bo who held the position of high socerer, whatever that is, of the Gaious tribe in West Africa, gave his secretary poison, watched him die and then devoured the body. He ■was found asleep beside the carcas and executed within twenty-four hours. The affair ought to give some of the thrill hunters of America a new idea, to work on. They’re voting and fighting in Chicago today and it they elect Bill Thompson mayor on his wide-open policy they will have a fine time the next four years. Mayor Dever has had a big job trying to clean up the big city of the middle west but has! made some progress and would make more if given another chance. Its up to the people there as to whether they want clean government or dirty politics. Illinois continues to lead the country in building highways. The state this year will place a hard surface on 1,036 miles and New York is a close second with 1,000 miles. Next in line is Pennsylvania, with 800 miles, Florida with 400 miles, Wisconsin 374

I miles, and Ohio with 300 miles. All 1 those are of asphalt, concrete or brick. Indiana gets 275 miles this year, in secondary paving, which is of the penetrating macadam type, Wisconsin will build more than any other state, 1,200 miles, and next is Texas, with 1,000 miles, Indiana will build about 100 miles of type of road. There will be 20.000 miles of new pavement, rigid und semi-rigid this yeur in the 4 3 states. Considering Indiana’s wealth and population she should be I paving 800 to 1,000 miles this year, so ] it may be seen that its program, due | | to bungling in the last legislature, will be far behind.—Hartford City News. We are all more or less nervous at i times — especially when something goes wrong with us —about what is going to happen to the human race. 1 says the Indianapolis News. The psychiatrists are particularly appre-1 hensive. Dr. Max Schlapp. for in- 1 stance, told the Academy of Medicine. | at New York, that he feared that the | I whole race of tomorrow’ would either be grossly damaged or lowered in - ' general efficiency as a result of the high tension lives we lead—though, to be sure, all of us don't lead that kind of lives. 'Twas ever thus. Greece I saw trouble ahead; so did Rome., I Those who watched the moths flutter , round the Louis XIV candle in France ! were gravely apprehensive, and so were those who frowned on the gayeties of the court of Charles II in England. Trouble was ahead then as it is now. Some pretty bad messes followed, but humanity survived, and on the whole, improved. But trouble is always ahead. We never catch up with the direst of it. Surely there is : comfort in the thought that the worst is yet to come —and probably will never get here. Looking forward to the conventions of next year, Dr. Albert Shaw, editor of the Review of Reviews, believes that the dry leaders have one advantage over their opponents. Those I who are fighting prohibition most ! earnestly find everything to convince I them and nothing at all to give them any doubts. Dr. Butler, he asserts, makes a speaking tour through Ohio,l Illinois, and other middle western ! states, and actually finds such enthusiastic support of his well-known position that he can see nothing ahead but a speedy repeal of the Volstead act and an uprising that must surely —iißi.mwwpWMiw II " *

The dry leaders, on the other hand, fully realize that prohibition is extremely hard to enforce, and that many of the wisest and best people of the country believe that it does much more harm than good. They are preparing to control the platforms of both great parties, and will probably succeed. The drys, because they open their eyes to both sides, are better politicians than the wets, in Dr. Shaw's opinion. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ +♦♦♦++♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ April s—Supremes—Supreme court holds that sheriffs cannot retain “in and out" fees which are 25 cents for taking prisoners in and same for releasing them.

That means richer flavor ft } L—Jrifel WHEN children say they don't tike oats, it’s usually because rich Quaker flavor is missing. Children who ordinarily don’t take to oats are often quickly won to this important food, simply by giving them ’’Quaker.” The flavor is uniquely different; toasty, rich and creamy, Quaker Oats alone has it. Some SO years ■were spent in perfecting it. Quaker milling, too, retains much of the "bulk” of oats. And that makes laxatives less often needed. Thus protein, carbohydrates and vitamines and "bulk” combipe in making Quaker Oats an excellently balanced ration. Get Quick Quaker (cooks in 2/i to S minutes) or Quaker Oats today at your grocer.
