Clean up the yard, get the cans and rubbish ready. The city trucks will call for them the week of May 2nd. For years this has been the practise here and a very good one for it fixes a time for this important work and it is important that a town be cleaned just the same as the houses. Bill Rogers who can say a lot of funny things with a ‘'kick" in about every line of it says that if President Coolidge tries farming he will be for relief, offers him his farm to try out on and says if he makes it go lie won't be president, he'll be a magician. No joke. When Governor McCray built the reformatory at Pendleton, with a capacity of 1.200, many argued it was too big and the expense unnecessary. Now their report shows that 1,883 men are packed into the instittuion like sardines, showing beyond dispute that at least along the line of producing voting men criminals, business .is good in Indiana. Moses B. Lairy, leading -lawyer and democrat of Indianapolis, died at Logansport Sunday after a few hours illness, superinduced by ptomaine poison. Mr. Moses was of the old school, brilliant, well informed, a fighter. He had served for a number of years as a judge of the appellate court of Indiana and had a record worth while. The Bluffton Banner is boosting Evans Woollen for governor and is not in accord with the movement to make the well known Indiana man a candidate for president. Mr. Sauudcr:; is w, l-l informed on state politics and believes' that the proper campaign started now would put a man like Woollen in the governor's chair while he doubts that his nomination for the presidency could be secured. The serious injury of a Decatur iady who was run down by a boy on a bicycle should and probably will bring about the enforcement of the ordinance against such practises. We believe in the youngsters having plenty of exercise and admit that cycling is an excellent means for that but the recent accident emphasises tin- danger of such practises on the sidewalks which is certainly not the place for speeders. An important meeting will be held in the rooms of the state highway commission tomorrow morning, delegations having been invited from six counties along the epst and west route through here. Several Decatur men will attend and are hoping for some information us to when the road will be taken over and improvement begum The road is a very important one in the plate ami nation and of particular interest here. Big Bill Thompson will beconje mayor of Chicago tomorrow. This is rot justficcording to schedule but said to be entirely legal, so its probably alright. The board of works had arranged to induct the new mayor into office on the 18th but Bill heard that in the meantime some new appointments were to be made and some contracts let and Bill wants this patronage to pay his own debts with so he just rushed things along and will jump in a week earlier than was planned.- He is a regular steum roller

ht seems and Its our guess ho will be F hustled out of office some day just as I rapidly as he Is pushing himself in. For several million people over the r J United States, this is one of the Imr- I portant days of the year—opening the league baseball season—and in many f, of the larger cities, great throngs today watched their favorites win or lose. Its still the great national game o “ and one don't have to be much of a 0 sport ’o turn each day to the sport * page and watch the progress toward 5 pennant honors' and the world series, I) how Cobb and Speaker are getting along in their new surroundings, how many home runs Babe Ruth has and all the other thrills that go with it. Dr. Somerville Light, D. D., pastor of the Methodist church of this city has retired from the ministry, an an- . nouncement that will cause many re- . grets for this talented man has taken I an active, successful part in the affairs of the North Indiana Conference for many years. He held pastorates in a number of the largest cities of the district and as superintendent of the Richmond territory established a wonderful record. As pastor here for two years past. Rev. Light has impressed his congregation with his ability and as a citizen has made 1 many warm friends. He retires because of ill health which prevents .him from giving. to his work that power and force which he feels it requires. We extend to him the best wishes of the people of this community regardless of their church affiliation and the hope that a rest from his labors will restore his health. Rev. Stokes, who will assume charge of the local church is regarded as one of the strongest pastors of the conference. He and his family will be extended a sincere welcome as a citizen of Decatur and as a pastor by I . his large congregation, +♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ • BIG FEATURES ♦ ♦ OF RADIO ♦ ++♦++++♦♦+♦+♦♦♦♦ WEDNESDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES 4 WEAK- —Hookup 4 stations 9:30 I’m.
