Wonder what that fellow who paid $317,000 for a seat on the New York stock exchange wanted with it? It doesn't take long to make a hero. A week ago it you had asked who Charles Lindbergh was few could have told you. Now his name is recognized around the world and he is perhaps the most popular man living. Send in a few dollars for the Athletic Field. We believe it will grow into a very popular play ground that will bring happiness to thousands of people. Don't let the weeds get the best of you. With the wet spring they will flourish unless you head them off. They look particularly bad on vacant lots and they are a nuisance for those who live near by. Swat the flies, cut the weeds, keep the yards looking attractive, paint up and do things which will make the strangers speak well of the community. These are assets for the town and for all the people who live here. Co'umbus was sixty-nine days crossing the Atlantic ocean in 1492 while captain Lindbergh accomplished it in thirty-two and a half hours which is some advancement even during a period of 435 years. The fund for the Athletic field is going right along and with just a little help will be raised within a fewdays. Then the boys can go to work and it will soon be ready for the youngsters. Send in a check or a dollar bill or something to show that you are for them. ————— J The boom for Governor Lowden for the republican nomination for president seems to have died as quickly as it sprung up. That evidence in the Sapiro-Ford case in Detroit was probably not just what could be called a boost for his cause. They might fry Senator Watson now. Suits have been filed to secure easements on the properties of several along the highway between Decatur and Monroe so the state can proceed with the improvement of that road. While to many it seems the benefits exceed the damages, those who own the grounds adjacent also have a right to their opinion and when agreement is impossible the technical suits in court are the only means for adjusting the matter. Andrew Kehoe whose mind took a peculiar turn and who dynamited a school building at Bath, Michigan, a few days ago, killing forty-four people, was buried Saturday. Not a single mourner attended the burial and there were no services. He has been term- * ed the "mad butcher of Bath.” Crazy he was to be sure but there is a thought about the tragedy. He had dwelt so long and so obstinately upon the erection of a school house and the taxes it made necessary that he' hated everybody in the neighborhood and wished to do them injury. He chose a sad and terrible means. Almost as remarkable as was the flight of young Lindbergh across the Atlantic ocean was the fact that almost as soon as he landed the news was flashed to every part of the world and within a few moments was general knowledge of the world. Eight minutes after the hero had.put foot

on French soil ft was bulletined at ' this office and in less than half an an hour the paper was off the prees. We have done many things during the past few decades but none of them more wonderful than the dispatch of , news and pictures by radio, telephone 1 aud telegraph. Milton Hoffman, a ten-year-old Decatur boy won the memory contest at the regional Bible session held at Warren, Sunday, a splendid achievement of which he has a right to feel very proud. Such a victory may not bring the plaudits of the crowds as would the capture of an athletic cup but after all it is more important for is discloses a brilliant mind and a devotion to work which should bring this boy many and great honors and the opport unity to serve in the future. The lad had previously won in the city and county contests and will now represent this regional composed of eight counties in the state meeting at Martinsville, June 14th to 17th. He is a member of the Zion Reformed church. While President Coolidge no doubt feels he has good and sufficient reason for not calling a special session of congress there will be millions of people who will think otherwise. This is not an ordinary experience. Several hundred thousand people are in want; their homes have been destroyed and their crops lost; women and children are ill and the great flood is beginning to effect business conditions everywhere. The appropriation of a hundred million dollars or more would provide work for thousands and would aid in restoring to some degree a stage of prosperity badly needed. This is a mighty poor time to play politics and such a decision may not prove beneficial to the president or his party. Its fine to be economical but there is a limit to that even in handling public funds. It has been many years since so much interest everywhere was taken in any event as was noticeable Saturday during the flight of Capt. Charles Lindbergh across the Atlantic. At this office all through the day came telephone calls from people eager to learn of his progress. Many people were congregated in front of the bulletins windows and when the news of his safe landing was flashed there were cheers and smiles. It was a I fine relief from the news of storms and wrecks and cyclones and murders and disasters and a cheering tonic for everybody. No more fearless feat has even been performed than this act by a man scarcely out of his teens and he was welcomed by thirty thousand people who almost wrecked his plane when he lauded at Paris. «++ ++ + **-r **» +* + * ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Dally Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ May 23 — Mrs William McKinley, wife of the former president suffers stroke of paralysis at Canton, Ohio, home.

WOMEN OF FUTURE TO ESCAPE CHILD BIRTH, BRITISH SCIENTIST PREDICTS

London (United Press) —The women of the future will have no cause to fear child birth, since they may not have to bear their children. Furthermore, the traffic problems of tlie future will be solved by the use of ‘'aeroautomobiles,” which by the usp of wings will be enabled to arise from congested city streets, | whenever traffic prevents them from travelling nt less than 80 miles an boor. These statements, and the prediction that other discoveries of the. future would make the next generation sit back and laugh at the scien-' tific achievements of the present epoch, constituted the reply of Pro- ' fessor A. M. Low. famous British , scientist, to a United Press correspondent who asked him what be thought o£ the latest accomplish- j incuts of science and their future possibilities. “The trouble with this generation' of curs,” commenced Professor Low, “is that people don't realize how ab-; solutly savage they are. "Even those who enjoy the beauties j of nature, think nothing of passing in front of a modern butcher’s shop 1 where raw meat is displayed in all its hideoiisness, five minutes after they have expressed unbounded ad-j miration tor a magnificent rainbow.

Easy Go,” to-’ gether with the farewell of admirers , for the various members of the company insures large audiences through-, out the entire week. For this reason the management of ( the theatre urges early seat reserva-. tion, especially for out-of town patrons! who will attend during the week. With 37 weeks as the season in Fort Wayne and with evei-increasing patronage, the. Wright Players have assured northern Indiana they will return to the Majestic in the fall, reopening the second week in September. The same high standard of attractions prevailing all of this season will be offered next season. “Easy Come, Easy Go,” closing attraction is a novelty in a crook drama, Two crooks, one a novice at crime, board a train and find that a detective is on board. He warns all the ■passengers that he is convinced the guilty persons are among the passengers and that all must submit To a search at the next station. The two crooks, to escape, join a party of patients enroute to a sanitarium. One of the rules of the sanitarium is that no patient who enters can ever ; leave. The scenes in the sanitarium are extremely funny and the action is fast throughout. The entire company is seen in the cast and the attraction ranks among the best of the entire year.

The “W alk-around” REMEMBER it? You perched on the hard, blue circus bleachers. The band struck up. And out poured the galaxy of wonders . . . clowns, lions, Mme. Whoop-la of the tight-wire, acrobats, tumblers and the dusty, plodding elephants. All circling the main tent in the traditional “walk-around” that started the big show. ADVERTISING is the “walk-around” of the things life is made of. The things you eat, drink and wear—the luxuries and the necessities. And to watch is not merely to be entertained, but to learn how to make your dollars do their best. YOU can study advertised products, compare them, weigh the advantages of one against the other. Unhurriedly you can select exactly what you want in the full knowledge that what you select will be good. For no product that does not give value received can keep its place in the open comparison and competition of the advertising procession. ■ • Advertising introduces you to the things that make life easier.
