Mr, Settle of the farm bureau says lie is not so much interested in the candidacy of Mr. Lowden as he is in the defeat of Mr. Coolidge. Many Decatur folks tire getting ready for clean up week which starts May 2nd. It isn't much trouble to get the rubbish together if you start soon enough and the city trucks will haul it all away for you. Please help. The first Monday in May approaches, important because Its the last day for the payment of your spring installment of taxes. Its always a burden but the past few years has been just a little harder than ever. The cooler weather predicted may slacken the rains which have caused great loss of life and property, especially in the southwest. In this sectiilb ‘ ( the wet spring has caused a delay in ( tii,. planting ol flops ihut lliav < serious if there isn't a better break ■ soon. Farmers say they are three 1 weeks behind last year at this time. In 1895 only four automobiles were registered in the United States. Now there are more than twenty million. Fifteen years ago there were less than a million cars in this country and ten years ago less than three million. The big increase came between 1915 and 1920 and we are still adding about a million a year. The industry lias become the biggest factor in American business. Indianapolis will vote June 21st on whether or not they will adopt the commission-manager form of government. A petition signed by 32,612 voters of that city was filed with the cit v coun il and the ele, tipn was conaequently ordered. Down there they have been having too much Shank and Duvall the past years and so many are eager for a change that it need surprise no one if they vote favorably. They are not for it so strong, but they want relief. The American magazine for May tells an interesting story of Clyde E. Shockley, a regular dirt farmer of near Kokomo who keeps an airplane back of his henhouse for the purpose of flying to town and back on Saturdays doing his errands and making a little side money helping other people out who are in a hurry. He is perhaps the first farmer in America to use the plane as a vehicle and he is a farmer first for he operates 200 acres and does most of the work himself. The drive for two hundred paid up members to the Decatur Industrial Association will continue through this week and you are urged to join or to renew your membership. Concerted action by a community means its ultimate success and an organization of two hundred citizens, all interested « in the growth, prosperity and general improvement of Decatur would show the enthusiasm that can’t be licked. President Cal Peterson and his assistants are working hard towards that end. Help them win. Though the state constitution provides that no legislative body can raise flic salaries of members for the session during which such an act is passed the supreme court of Indiana' lias just held that such a law enacted by the recent general assembly is constitutional and the members will

[receive an additional four dollars per ’ day, totaling $36,991 more money which will be paid out. Presume its alright but it looks us though its possible to get by tile constitution' . utter nil. Two judges. Benjamin ' Willoughby and David Meyers dissented to the opinion. Great France, Italy and Japan will send a red hot note to Eugen e Chen. Chinese foreign minister and it may be an ultimatum which means war unless some repartition is made for the killing of foreigners during the recent disorders and they arc anxious to have the United States join them. nt Washington are that we will be very slow in putting ourselves into a position to engage in war and the 1 i people of the country are certainly , not in favor of any tiling that will , embroil this nation at this time if it I can be avoided. W. 11. Settle, familiarly known over this state as "Bill’ and who has served t as president of the Indiana Farm j Federation several years will tell the 4 folks of this section all about how the farm relief bill “got the axe" at the I hands of President Coolidge. ‘ Bill ' claims to know and so far no one has been found who can reply to his < charges. He has stirred a hornets nest in Washington by declaring that t the farmers of the middle west are'i i for Lowden and he has started a s movement to eject Mr. Coolidge frond i r the White House. He will speak at., the Monroe school house next Tuer- j day night and those interested ar? c invited to hear him. 1f , i' >♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ y ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ . *— * ’ ♦ From the Daily Democrat File + t ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ ++++++++♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ April 20 —Council orders that shade ■ trees must be set one foot from curb , and in line in the new additions. j c Grand jury returns ten indictments. t Mrs. F.
