Seems as though it we hint about a shower this spring we get a downpour, a thunderstorm or a tornado. And now a terrible cyclone or rather a series of them has added to the suffering of thousands in the flood territory liesides adding to the list of sufferers. Have you given your bit to the relief fund? If you are not a member of the Decatur Industrial Association and if you are missing the monthly luncheons you are overlooking a mighty fine opportunity to meet your fellow business men and to serve your community. Get in. Don't quit giving to the Red Cross flood relief fund because you feel its going over any way. Remember that thousands of people are ill and suffering and that every penny given will be needed and more. Lets show we mean it by sending more than asked for? Now that everybody's yard is cleaned up aud the rubbish hauled away, lets do a little more painting up and fixing up that our fair city may attract attention during the next six mouths. Thousands of strangers will pass through the city between now and late autumn and we want to look our best. If you hear a big blue fly buzzing around the house take time to swat her. If she deposits her eggs this mouth she will have, according to scientists, 5.598,720.000 descendents by the middle of September How they ever counted ’em or who did the job in one life time has not been explained but any way we know the practise of swatting flies early in the year is a good one. They are disease , carriers and a doggoned nuisance. Congratulations to that New York jury which organized, voted and returned a verdict in an hour and sixteen minutes, finding Ruth Brown Snyder and her former lover, Henry Judd Gray, corset salesman, guilty of hiurder in the first degree, which means the electric chair for these vile and hard hearted murderers. They will be sentenced Monday and the speedy return of a verdict will probably have a good effect on New York and the rest of the country. We need stern justice and we need fewer delays in meting it out. Cal Peterson, president of the Decatur Industrial Association has the right idea of operating that important organization. The board of directors and special committees do the work and report at the monthly luncheon, thus disposing quickly of such matters and giving an hour to social pleasures. At last, nights meeting all the ministers of the city were voted into the association, a splendid move for no other citizens can do so much genuine boosting and with such good results and as Rev. Stokes said it is just as important to the pastors that the community continue to a live and progressive place as it is to any one else for unless this is true they find it difficult to keep things moving in the church work. Os course they are for us and of course we are for them —all of them. The best obtainable estimates on home-ownership in the United States, indicates that between 45 and st> per

|<<-iit. of the families living hi onefamily houzes own their homes. In some European countries. it is said, about 80 per cent, of the householders own their homes. It is also knuwu that the small home in Europe is not so generally or probably never so heavily morgaged as in the United States. This is explained by the fact that in America the home owner, as a rule, believes that If his house will carry a largo mortgage it is 4 more salable and for the, most part the home owners tn. this country are ever willing to sell out at a profit and look for another home. We have not settled down to what might be termed ‘‘permanent" home ownership. And it is doubtful If we ever do, at least to the same extent us do the people of the older and slower moving countries. Have you ever heard of America’s floating mountain? It is a mountain of soot and dirt. It is the mountain that causes people to sneeze often times and wonder if they are taking cold. It is the mountain that brings dismay to the housewife when she sees her lace curtains, uulike the leopard, change from spotless white to spotty black. It is the mountain that makes the laundryman happy and brings patients hurrying to the doctor's door. According to scientific data, enough soot and dirt floats through the air in American cities every year to form a pyramid-shaped mountain 1,501) feet high and 5 miles across its base. Every street on Manhattan Island would be buried, like Pompeii, under a stratum of dirt 21 feet deep if some Titanic chimneysweep could gather all the soot and dirt floating above American cities and dump it on New York. —Thrift Magazine. o >+*+++♦*▼* ♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago Thl« Day. ♦ *+**+*«+****♦«♦« May IS —Mrs. Morrison and Miss Salley Vesey return from extended trip through south and west.

It seems capable of producing even the state of mind of the ruminating cow and its Buddhistic calm ". The Doctor also suggests that gum can be offered as a substitute for cigarettes to excessive mokers that it is useful In curing the “chocolate habit" and that acts as sedative for frayed nerves and insomnia. ——o— Two women while flower hunting near Monroeville a few days ago found the body of a dead man.

ITALIAN AIRMEN FORBI DDEN TO MARRY UNTIL 30 LN NEW EFICIENCY REGULATIONS

Rome (United Press). No Italian airman whether he be offier, pilot or airman whether he be officer, pilot or of 30. ♦ This regulation, though based ou serious and practical considerations, has caused a ripple amongst the young aviators, who find themselves bound by the same rules as the priesthood. They are tn fact, until they reach the age of 30, turned into a kind of priestly caste. The new law imposing this obligatory celibacy is based on the presumption that a man cannot, it he has a wife and family, give of his best in a service, which, above all things, requires daring and sfngle-inlndeduess. The report introducing the new measure stales that "the obligations and duties deriving from the possession of a family exercise a notable influence on the serenity of spirit of per- **¥¥*¥«**** ** ¥ » * TRY THE * * NEXT ONE * DISTANCES 1.

H. Hinkle, maintenance superintendent to the fact that maintenance of detours by the department has turned many of these routes into finely surfaced highways inducive of increased speed. When the last General Assembly enacted a law compelling the state highway department to maintain de-

sons attached to the air force. There is the same principle behind the new law as that which enjoins obligatory celibacy on the Catholic priesthood, whereby, according to the belief of (he Church, a man cannot at the same time serve his sacred mission and his family. The Italian aviation authorities believe that pilots must be young men and allow them to marry after the age of 30, on the supposition, that in the majority of cases, by that time, they will go into the ground services. The new regulation only applies to military and naval airmen; aviators in the commercial services being free to marry when they like. In the army and navy, the earliest age for marriage is 25. In the case of junior officers, both military and naval, the possession of private means or tlie bringing in of a dowry by the wife is also necessary. tours while construction and repair was in progress the Act set forth that surfaces should be kept in passable condition by repeated ami consistent dragging and by applications of gravel and stone. This work is well under wayin many parts of the state with the result these detour routes are in splendid surface condition. The law did not provide neither did it anticipate * that the commission should remove the hazards on these routes such as narrow culverts, crown in the road, sharp turns and narrow loadbeds which are eliminated on regular state highways. The cost of such improvements would be prohibitive and the purpose of the new maintenance law was to see that machines routed off the regular state traffic lanes had fair detour routes to travel.

. THE GREAT WAR 10 YEARS AGO | Senate defeats the press censorship item in the Espionage Bill. Senate and House conferees eliminate from selective draft bill the Harding amendment which would have authorized the sending of four regiments of volunteers to France under the command of Col. Roosevelt Politely Refuse substitutes if you seek the famous Quaker flavor iVftrjj x _ THE point to remember when buying breakfast oats is that only Quaker Oats liavc the rich Quaker flavor tliat you want. One package of oats without that flavor may spoil your breakfasts for a week. Tlie price you pay is the same. Thus "trying” a substitute is a folly. Quaker flavor is the result of some 50 years milling experience. No other oats has it. Quaker milling, too, retains much of the “bulk” of oats. And that makes laxatives less often needed. Get Quick Quaker, which cooks m 2J4 to 5 minutes, or regular Quaker Oats as you have always known. Your grocer has both kinds. Quick Quaker

DAIRY COWS MAKE UNUSUAL RECORDS Report Os County Cow Testing Association For April Made Public “Cow testing association members certainly stepped out and made some fine records this month", stated Roy I* Price, tester, when he submitted his report to L. M. Busche county- agent Saturday. "By actual count. 127 cows produced one pound of butterfat each day of’the month", Price explained. His report brought out the fact that a herd of six cows owned by David J. Mazelin made the highest average of any herd tn the association, they averaging 49.7 pounds. “Lucinda" and "Maxine", purebred Holsteins belonging to the Mazelin held made 88.7 and 83.9 lbs., respectively. Eleven cows in the Noah Rich herd were second in average butterfat production, their record being 36 pounds, other herd owners ranked as follows: H. P. Graber, 35.8; Osia Von Gunten. 35.5; Peter D. Schwartz, 34. According to Mr. Price's figures, the 288 cows in the association, including dry cows averaged 27.5 lbs. David F. Mazelin owns the third highest individual cow for the month, she producing 61.4 lbs. Peter B. la>li-
