May 2nd — Clean-Up week in Decatur. You can help make it one hundred per cent successful and its your duty as a good citizen to do it. Get the rubbish, tiu cans and old scraps ready for the trucks. If some tramp had found that pile of money hidden under a stone near the old water tank at Ohio City, he would probably have been a firm believer in Santa Claus the rest of his life. The money was a part of the loot stolen from the Payne. Ohio bank. We can't see why we fool around moving the clock up an hour. Why don't they just move the .alendar back a week era month or year er something like that, kind of a wholesale daylight or time saver? It would save so much time discussing foolish things each year and a heck of a lot of inconvenience. Its hard to understand how a man about town like Lari Carroll and who pulled the stunts charged to him should feel so xeen over being sent to prison as to totally collapse and there seems to have been no bluff about his illness. Perhaps if he had it to d< over he would give a great deal To' avoid what h has hiwl to endure for' trying to be a good fellow. After all it pays to be decent. Members of the local Legion post will devote next Saturday to the removal of the grave stones in the old cemetery on Winchester street, forming them into a pyramid or monument, first actual work of converting the grounds into a park. It will lie a splendid improvement and its fine that the Legion should take so active a part in the work. Fort Wayne is advocating the destruction of sparrows and a 32 calibre smooth bore rifle' or a ■: i guage “baby” shotgun are recommended for the campaign. Goodness gracious, wouldn't that be just as bad as the sparrows? We can't imagine anything worse than advocating the promiscous use of such weapons. It won’t be safe for the neighbors to stick their heads out. I). C. Stephenson, the “old man" of recent political victories in Indiana, now serving a life term in prison at

Mi higan City is so foxy that even under the strictest surveiiance he manages to get letters to the outside regularly, is now being kept in solitary confinement. Suppose he will dig up a wireless set or do something else which will keep him before the people. Some fellows just can't be held down. You can safely advertise that Decatur will soon be the junction of two very important state and federal highways. Twenty-four now being paved, extends from Miami, Florida to Mackinaw City, while sixteen will eventually extend from Atlantic City to San Francisco. They will cross each other at the corner of Monroe and Second streets in this city and in the years to come will be two mighty important thoroughfares. If you can aid in hurrying along the actual taking over of the east and west road, you should do so. Get five dollars ready for the committee from the Industrial Association which will make the drive next Tues day for two hundred memberships That's not very much and you should gladly pay it to those who will strive during the year to secure improvements and industries which will be beneficial and which will return tc you many times that amount. We need the association and we need your membership. Remember that only those towns which step forward will survive the coming years and we want Decatur to be one of those which lives, don't you? We just can't believe the rumor that has come out of Indianapolis that some one tried to tamper with i grand juror, but the story is that Claud Achey claims to have been of sered $2,600 not to vote for an indictment against Mayor John L. Du vail. James E. Armitage is accused of being the liberal “cuss” who thin ofered to squander his money uu necessarily and the prosecuting at loruey has asked the court to dismiss the jifry. The people of Indiana, how ew'V are not much surprised any AMkre at any yarn which conies from "■ \ the capitol city. With the Farm Bureau advocating Lowden for president and a lot of office seekers and holders tied to Coolidge, the boys are having a hard time in Indiana to tell which way to jump. And that's the rub of politics. If you go the wrong way, boys, you will be out for a while and you may be any way. Never can tell just what the voters in this country are going to do. The safe workers are keeping still until they see which way the wind will blow and that makes getting up Stea'i> '<■ ' :1 ■' ‘ a rather slow Job. / So many school boards are taking action to nullify the teacher’s tenure law that it is more than probable that a strong lobby will see that the law is repealed in the next legislature. . Over at Peru notices have been sent to forty-five of the older teachers, including Superintendent Youngblood, ' notifying them that their services will . not be required or desired after the present year. The notices having
