Another sunny day with spring just around the corners. A few warm days and the trees and flowers will be out and we will be started on the growing season. The week of May 2nd is CLEAN-l 1’ period in Decatur. Are you getting ready for it? There is much to do between now and then for during this time we are asked to gather up all the rubbish from the lots so it can be hauled away during the big week. Pep up merchants. This is the season when people are buying their spring outfits. Tell them what you have. They are in the market, you have what they want. You ought to , , i get together. There is just one sure, quick, satisfactory way—advertise in the Daily Democrat. This is the week. , They say there's no money to be * made on the farm but here comes the ’ report that one Walter It. Christie, of Aroostook county, Maine, raised 150,000 bushels of potatoes on Hot) acres last year, sold his crop at four dollars a barrel at a cost of $1.75 per bushel and netted over $300,000. Was he lucky or wise? Joyce Hawley, the girl who took the principal part in Earl Carroll’s fatuous bath tub party and which eventually got him a sentence to prison, wijl undertake to convince President Coolidge that, its all wrong and that Earl ought not to be thus punished. Its a safe bet that she will be a very modest lady when appearing before the president. Nicho'an Mui ray Butler, president of Columbia University, advocating the repeal of the eighteenth amendment and Senator Borah, of Idaho, opposing the proposition that the republican party go on record for better enforcement, argued and debated the proposition in Symphony hall. Boston the pther evening, but so far as we have heard they have not succeeded in convincing each other or of changing the opinion of any one else. This wet and dry question is one of those which you either believe in or don’t. Here’s another thing we can’t understand. Announcement from the treasury department at Washington is that $35,000,000 interest due to people who have not drawn it, is lying in the vaults there and that the same amount in bonds which have matured and which have not been taken up are there. Thats seventy million dollars that ought to be in circulation and we don't see how those who own them ever passed up presenting their bonds the day they were due. Decatur will have one improvement this year that will attract a lot of attention. Thais the new park to take place of the old cemetery in the south part of the city. With a committee including representatives of the city, the Industrial Association and the Legion at work, progress is sure to be made. Its such things as this that helps for a beautiful park located as this one is along two railroads and along a state and federal highway that is sure to bring forth many words of commendation for the community. A force of high powered salesmen are in Indiana, it is reported, selling stock in gold mines located in the new Nevada field. They tell wonderful stories and you are soon figuring how

you will spend all the money you will ' draw from u small investment. Don’t buy it. Remember that the long distance Investor is always the sucker. I It there is something good out there, those on the inside who know all j about it. will finance it and will get . the cream.- You are Just a sucker if you bite on the bulls offered by these slickers who live off of easy marks. We often hear the guess that In another ten or twenty years theVmall town will be wiped out and we have listened to various reasons and explanations of the whys and where- | fores. We believe that in ten or twenty years the smaller towns will be preferable to the large cities and that the movement in the meantime will bo largely one of decentralization, of moving from the smoky, dirty, traffic conjected metropolises to the comfortable, pleasant and attractive smaller towns, where can be found all the conveniences of the city and plenty of fresh air and sunshine, best guarantees of longer life and more happiness. And this movement will be to those towns and cities which are most progressive, which build in the safest and sanest manner, which provide proper educational and church facilities, which have their golf course and their gyms and their power and light plants and their parks and the other things which tend to make a place fit to live in. If there was ever a time’for community leadership it is here now. Step out boys, keep things moving, make Decautr a model city and you need not worry about it being wiped out. On the other hand it will grow steadily and healthily. ♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦* ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 4 * * 4 From the Daily Democrat File ♦ * Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ *+♦++♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦« April 11—Thaw jury is out.
