Os course along with the general clean-up week should conic a paint-J up and brighten-up campaign. These always help the looks of a town. Get the rubbish, old bottles, cans, etc, gathered up and placed in barrels and boxes now so you will be ready for the city trucks the week of May 2nd. Those who are worrying about what Al Smith will tell the corn belt about his experiences down on the farm may discover that what he has to say is I vastly more important than putting on a pair of overalls a few moments while the camera works. William Morgan Butler, national republican chairman and friend of the president is now scouting through the middle west to ascertain what the

income tax payers will say when they get notice of an assessment for the purpose of a third term for Calvin. And lie's a hard nosed dude, they say. What kind of a fiend do you imagine that low-browed individual is who criminally assaulted Mrs. Margaret Williams, aged eighty-one, near Albany, Indiana, this week? Her body was cut and bruised and her condition is naturally very serious. Is there any punishment severe enough for such a devil as the man who perpetrated the act? If there is, we haven't heard of it. - That "kissing bandit" down at Richmond who hold up petting parties and made the girls kiss him on threats of shooting them will enjoy the hardships of tlie penal farm for six months, thus making it safe for the ■SrrUli—H'»* <.JV» *«« good old summer time any way, that js safe as far as he is concerned. ‘which is probably not tlie gravest ‘chance they take when they "slobber” around wita some sliiek on a country Toad or in some byway. , j The cold snap last night didn’t .io any particular good and from now on 'you may expect reports of the fruit •being killed and that things in gen--eral have gone to the bow-wows. • Things may not lie as bright as they -could lie but don't forget that this •country has been paddling along sevZeral hundred years and there Ims “never been a total failure. And we're 'not going to believe there is any such ' disaster in store for our good people 'this year. «• Set aside a couple of hours for next ■ Tuesday evening and hear William Settles discuss tlie farm relief problem. lie will speak at Monroe. Bill '/insists that the only relief the larmiers can have is to get rid of President < oolidge, Congressman Vestal and a few olliers who are against them. You - may not agree witli him but you will . want to hear what this man has to say about it for he lias been in rather close touch with the situation in Washington, having lived right there during tlie recent scramble. A iive-doliar bill will line you up for a whole year with the Decatur Industrial Association. Most any fellow ought to be willing to pay ten cents a week for the united of the citizens interested in making this a better and happier place in which to live and thats the prime motive of the association. About fifty more arc needed to make the drive a record

breaker and the boys arc working C hard towards that end. If you have neglected to join, do so right now—this week. .. Disease has broken out in the '• refugee camps along the Mississippi * and Missouti rivers where eighty -, thousand people, driven from their homes by the weeks of rain and floods, arc striving to live through the • dark drfys that seem so hopeless, j Never in history has the devastation ’ been equalled and so cut off are those ; bedraggled refugees that efforts from ’ tike government and from friends out--1 side the district to aid them are almost futile. It is predicted that the crest of the flood will not be reached for another ten days and in the meantime deaths are increasing daily and the property loss already is estimated at fifty million dollars. Five weeks of legal effort, a lot of money and the chance to win or lose a law suit were brushed aside yesterday when Judge Fred Raymond in a Detroit court decided that Mrs. Hoffman, juror, had talked too much and not wisely, that the newspapers had tried phazes of the case outside the court and declared a mis-trial. A new date will he fixed and the milliondollar libel suit of Aaron Sapirc ' against Henry Ford will have to be reheard. In the meantime Senator Jim Reed, one of the leading attorneys for Ford is seriously ill in the Ford hospital and Mr. Ford himself is a patient because of a recent automobile accident in which he was run down, purposely or otherwise, by ar unknown driver who sped away in the dark. Plenty of facts for the groundwork for an interesting story. o

WASTING TIME Educator Says Half of Boys In College Wasting Time New York. Apiil 22 —(UP) —Fully 50 per cent of the American boys who will go to college next fall would be better off if they changed their plans and went directly into business, declares President William H. P. Faunee of Brown University, in an interview published by the American Magazine today. From a study of statistics covering nearly half a century. Dr. Faunee finds that many boys who go to college are "failures," in the sense that they fail to graduate. “Moreover." he explains, "these figures do not include the uncounted thousands who, though they have been graduated, have simply wasted four precious years- and re-

ceiveu no benefit commensurate with the time and money spent. There Is no other career, for which men ate so definitely prepared, in which there is I such an appalling proportion of failures." The question every parent should ask himself, according to Dr. Faunee, is this: "Is college worth four years out of my boy's life?” Summing up his 28 years’ experience as head cf a great eastern university, Dr. Faunee says: "The common lielief that college training is suited to every boy and that every boy is suited to college, is one of the gnat trags dies of American life today. Cerminly half of the boys whom well-meaning parents send to college ought not to go. "None of us can get too much education. But it should be tlie kind of education best fitted to us as individuals.
