Now lets paint up and finish the: spring house cleaning job of the city. You can still subscribe to the fund to aid flood sufferers if your heart tells you should. Gas is down two cents which makes .it possible to burn up that much more of the track. He careful boys. The prediction of "generally fair , and warmer weather" today is en- , conraging even if we haven't had a , delivery on the promise. ( There is probably a great deal of . difference of opinion as to what a 1 , third term is, between Mr. Coolidge ( and Mr. Lowden. It would be an Interesting feature to have them express themselves. Bootleggers in Adams county take the same serious chances they do any where else and in the end are' sure to come to grief. Perhaps they figure that as a part of the business but we doubt if the game is worth it. A lot of mighty fine fellows, brave as they make them and skilled iu the art of flying are just now trying again to make a non-stop trip across the Atlantic ocean. It may be alright in the line of science but somehow or other we hate tv see them thus risking their lives. Mrs. Ruth Brown Snyder, convicted of the murder of her husband in connection with Henry Judd Gray, the corset salesman, is having epilepsy. Her frothing may be genuine but it should be remembered that she lias already shown considerable ability as , an actress. < Fort Wayne is getting "nasty nice." < Councilman Hinton has presented a resolution asking that the chief of ( police be insil acted to bar shows of) the degraded type such as Karl Carroll's ‘•Vanities’’ which played there ■ last week. Hinton savs he saw it and 1 was shocked. Thats enough. The Legion and a number of others ( who are interested are urging that Decoration Day be observed this year, on Sunday, believing that there would be more interest, larger attendance ' and a better program. If satisfactory with the organizations, whose day it, is, we believe the event could be made a great success. Well, everything isn't lost. Dr. William F. King, state health officer of] Indiana, announces that the expect- ( ancy of life in the Hoosier state has , increased twenty-one years since < 1880. Less than fifty years ago the 1 average of life in this state was thirtyseven years, which today it is fiftyeight and scientists believe that it will in a few years reach more than seventy. Consequently Dr. King and others are urging a revision of life insurance rates to meet the extension of life average. Twenty-five or thirty leading business men of Indianapolis, representatives of the wholesale division of the Chamber of Commerce of the capttol city, will visit Decatur tomorrow, will take noon luncheon at the Hotel Murray and it is their desire then to visit customers and friends here. President Cal Peterson of the Decatur Industrial Association is urging as many local business men as can to call on the visitors and to i

I assist thQpi In umkiriS the rounds aud 1 tn meeting those people whom they arc coming here particularly to see. Au athletic field would be a great asset to the community and the Legion boys, the G. E. force, the civic, organizations of Decatur are anxious and willing to get back of such a project. It should not be delayed. A temporary field for this year will we feel sure create a demand for a permanent place of This kind and why not? Other cities have g:>lf courses, municipal community houses and other means of providing amusement and entertainment for their people. A playground for the children, young and old, would prove popular ami would help to provide the, cleanest exercise and entertainment for the young folks of any thing We know of. Between two and three hundred! more have been added to the death] lists in the storm area of the south-1 west as the result of the tornadoes of the past few days. We who are; comfortable, scarcely realize the one millionth part of the sufferings of those who have seen their homes washed away in the Mississippi vat ley, who have lost loved ones, who have hoped and prayed day after day and week after week that something of their life's savings might be left, only to see their property destroyed and who realize that not for months perhaps for years can they begin anew. Never has this nation suffered, a worse disaster than the great flood of 1H27. We are glad this eoimty has so splendidly met the request for assista nee.

We offer our sincerest congratulations to those who have worked so faithfully to put the flood relief drive over the top. It is very wonderful thjtt the responses have come in as they have and to the good people who have subscribed we offer the thanks of every one connected with the Red Cross organization. We know that the work done here will meet tlie hearty approval of those iu charge, of the work in the state and the nation and that every dollar will bring some relief to a sad hearted family in the' flood district. While the money so far raised is being sent in that it mayhelp those in need, the opportunity, to give will be extended a few days longer and another check will be ent later. If you want to give and fowl you should, you may still do so. o—- >♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ - ♦¥¥♦♦♦♦ k TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ ♦ k Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ kkkkkkkkkk****** May 11—Decatur has one survivor of the Mexican war.

I Kerensky Denounces Present Soviet Regime Indianapolis. Ind., May 11—(United Press)—Speaking before the execu- j tive council of the American Federation ot Labor here last night, Alexan-' der Kerensky, leader of the Russian revolution in 1917 and former Rus- 1 sian premier, denounced the present ' soviet regime in Russia as being a 1 "complete reaction to labor.” He declared the soviet was "brazen i and hypocritical" in its proposals to the world economic conference nowin -progress at -Geneva and called upon the American labor movement to join the workers of Europe in a moral and political Offensive against 801-1 shevism. In the address Kerensky outlined i his views of the present Russian regime, concluding with a declaration that the interests of the entire world democracy coincide fully with the true national interests of Russia. Marriages Increase More Rapidly Than Divorces InrtianapoNs, May 11 —(UP) —Indiana marriages increased 1,829 during 1926. with only an increase of 17 tn divorces, according to figures compiled today from county clerk records by Statistician J. H. Blair of the Statehouse Reference Library. Figures for Monroe and Wabash I Counties were missing from the 1926 total. In the ninety counties reported there | were 38.657 marriage licenses issued during 1926, while in all counties (92) there were 36.82 S in 1925. Divorces last yar were 7.148 compared with 7,431 in 1925. Os the 1926 figures. 5,510 divorces Were obtained by women and 1,938 by men. This is an increase of divorces granted to women of 69 and a decrease to men of 52 -over the 1925 figures. Although Marion County leads in the divorce list for 1926, with a total of 1.371, it fell far behind Lake County total was 6422. Lake County divorces were only 486. This great difference is attributable in part to the presence of the vast .S. .. ‘ r .Ji'-i’ rict and the elopements which are staged with ceremony in Lake County. Ohio county reported but two divorces, one to a husband and one to a wife. Its marriage total was but 31. o Mrs. Otto A. Miller and young son. John Otto, were removed from the hospital to their home on Admits street, last night. The baby was born April 30.
