Clean up the yard between showers. He sure to have the rubbish ready for the trucks the week of May 2nd. Hollywood announces that the boyish figure is no longer necessary or popular. Ah—some of the girls must be getting a little heavy. lIL_ !. I Another thing that ought to be stopped is the car with only one light working. Ever meet one of these oneeyed monsters coming down the road and wonder just which side of the light was the "nigh or off?” Senator Jim Watson w/s a guest at the Easter breakfast given by President Coolidge but so far no announcement lias been made as to what the bunny brought them.

Down along the Mississippi river more than 22,0(10 people are fleeing ahead of the worst flood ever known there and according to government predictions, the crest has not been reached. And there are those of us in this section who grumble about the weather and condiitons. Mayor Williams, of Gary, has issued orders that all automobiles parked on the streets after twelve o’clock at night are to be taken to the city ‘pond’’ by the police. He declares that the streets should not be used as garages and says that the street force can not properly clean the streets because they are lined with cars. Any way its something new. Whats Indianapolis these days with- ' out an investigation in progress? Just now its in Judge Collins court where , an order has been issued to the prosecuting attorney that he investi- * politician, offered to bribe the grand jury to prevent the indictment of Mayor Duvall. But tin y will probably not ask Senator Jim Reed to come and assist. Once a year you are asked to help the city street cotnmisioners force clean up the city. The date this year is the week of May 2nd. Between now and that date you should gather up the rubbish from the yard and place it in barrels or boxes so it can be moved. The city does this moving without expense to you and you should appreciate it to the extent of aiding in every way you can. Bill Settle may be jitst a dub of a farm bureau manager but just the same he is of enough importance that since his trip to Washington and his announcement that Indiana farmers were for Lowden for the republican nomination, we have heard of a number of conferences of fellows who ordinarily wouldn’t waste much time on such an announcement. The trouble is they are looking for something of the kind to “bust." We are not so old but- that we can imagine the thrill a young man gets from speeding in an automobile but we are old enough to realize the danger of so doing. It may make you a hero in the eyes of your companions but its sure to wind up in a sad lesson. Eight people were killed and four or live times that many seriously hurt in accidents over the last week-end. As the season opens, every person who drives a car. young or’ old, man or woman, girl or boy, should make a solemn and sincere promise to him-

I self to drive carefully. ■LJ . Wtl ' ■■■ W Now we have “kissing bandits." Two men are under arrest at Richmond because they have made practise of visiting out of the way places, surprising petting parties and demanding under threat of taking by force, hugs and kisses from the girls. The authorities have not decided what ! the charges should bo against them and we wouldn’t know. In the vid days they used to cull such games ‘‘postoffice” we believe. Perhaps it might help if a few more of these bandits were turned loose, sufficient to break up the parties. Dy the way wonder what kind of "boobs” the girls companions were? Did you renew your membership to the Decatur Industrial Association today? If you didn’t do so at once. Don't be one of those who hangs back.

if for any reason you have been overlooked, hunt up one of the boys and hand them your check or a five dollar : bill. This is an association whose officers and directors devote much time and some money to doing those things which they believe will benefit the community. The biggest purpose of such an organization is to be ready when the opportunity conies but there is always some things which can be done. President Cal Peterson is urging all the members to assist him in making this a big year in Decatur. You can do it right now by renewing I your membership. Al Smith has answered those who attacked his presidential boom on account of his religion and declares that during his life he has taken the

oath of office nineteen times and so far as he has been able has kept it I each time. He knows of no reason ' why his religious beliefs should prevent him from serving his country . nor does any one else who has studied his splendid record as the only fourtime governor of the largest state in the union. Now the opposition is, prodding him on the prohibition ques-, thin ami they will probably succeed in having him declare himself on that question for above every thing else the Empire state governor is frank. Al Smith is a great man, one of the greatest in America, a fact subscribed to by the best citizens of his state regardless of party or creed. ♦++++♦♦♦♦♦♦+*♦** ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ ♦+♦♦++♦♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦ April 19 —W.
