S. A.. According to Mr. Hawk, ninety cent of those who work are in the wrong line, that is they are not in' the particular trade or business in . . I which they can best serve —and that s something worth thinking about seriously. The streets are not dumps for rub1 bish and dirt. You should take care of such things as the grass, old limbsj cans, etc., yourself by having them hauled away or placed in neat receptacles. The Lions Club is designed to relax its members and their motto is "Service founded on the Golden Rule.” Its standards are high, its purpose splendid and its ability sufficient to do much good. Its a “pep” organiza-' tion and Mr. Hawk last evening defined that wonl to mean “purpose-energy-push-p-e-p.” Don’t throw the grass, old limbs of trees, rubbish and dirt out on the street. The city force lias been making an extra effort the past few days to get the streets and alleys in spic’ and span condition for Decoration J Day and it is discouraging to clean a street up one day and have it littered with rubbish the next. Help keep the city looking its best. » We congratulate the city council! upon their purchase of a modern ■ Stutz fire truck. Nothing is more important than the fire protection given a city. Without it the earnings of life times can be wiped out. confusion j caused in the community and business life brought to a standstill. The completion of the plans for pumping water from the river without sending it through the main lines is another big and important step which should be taken. Just now when farm values or rath-’ er farm prices are the lowest in many years is the time when the wise investor will buy a farm. It is very foolish to think that farms will not eventually advance in price. They must because they must furnish the food for a hundred and thirty million Americans as well as supply much of the world outside this continent. If you have some cash and want to put i it in a safe place, invest it in an Adams county farm and watch it double during the next few years. A judge over at Greensburg. Indiana, gave a law violator the privilege of a term in prison or a two years absence from the county. He choie the which brings up the question of fairness in the decision. Os course that community rid itself of the society of an undesirable citizen and without cost to the county or state but at the same time they sent him on to another city where he will probably continue his viseions trade while congratulating himself upon the easy punishment. It will never wors. Each community must take care of its own criminals. We admire the good sense being used by Charles Lindbergh and his mother. Made famous over night they continue to be modest and steadfastly refuse to convert themselves into cheap vaudeville stars or picture performers, neither of which they are.

j They will continue to be hero.and p heroine for they are genuine and they will have no difficulty earning all the 1 money they require and will earn it I hy teaching others how best to live ami serve. Alremb’ the young man, fiist to tly the Atlantic has done much t to bling together France and America and in every Interview and every utterance he has demonstrated his good common sense. “““ J We call especial attention to memi hers and those desiring to bo mem- • here of the Decatur Country Club to I the fact that next Tuesday evening • will occur the formal opening of the club house. At this time plans will be (TTscussed for the year and there will be a number of matters ofc importance (o you. The owners have expended many thousand dollars to! provide for us a country club and golf i links unexcelled any where. We 1 should appreciate this progressive- • ness by giving our loyal support. We I have talked about this for a year. I Now its a reality. Whether we deI serve it or not depends entirely upon ourselves. Will we support it? All 1 who believe it should be are urged to attend the opening next Tuesday eveI ning.

The Lions Club of Decatur, number ; 1503, was formally charterized last night with a program of interest and in the presence of many visiting Lions anil specially invited guests, an event of importance and value to-this 1 community. We know that through this club its members will grow, will enjoy themselves and will in many ways aid others. We welcome them as a part of Decatur, not because we do not have high regard for Xery similar organization here but because we firmly believe that the more “pep” organizations and get-together asso- . ciatious any community has. the . better it is. With such a membership aa that of the Decatur Lions club it cannot help but go forward to the hi nefifof every one. We congratulate , the officers and members of the club for their splendid opening. It was a delightful and happy meeting of a lot of real folks. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦ * ♦ * * ♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY + !♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ ++♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ May 26, 1907 was Sunday.

about the new model—lt has speed, style, flexibility ami control in traffic. c There is nothing quite like it in qualy ity and price. The new car will coat j mure Io nmuufacluie. but it will bi) J more economical to operate. i. The general impression gained by a the United Press from visits to the ii factory is that the new car will be r four cylinders, gear shift. This, howo ever, is a matter of conjecture. It 4s understood that production will be started around July first or 15, which . would put the car on the market about August or September. Ford said that work had begun on » the new model several years ago, but 1 the sale of model T had continued at r such a pace that there never seemed an opportunity to get the new car started. .7 o I, REAL BARGAINS for One Week 1 I ON ALL OF MY STOCK 1 OF HEADWEAR With each $5.00 hat, 1 one $5.00 hat FREE.
