Be a real booster for the Decatur ' Country dub. It means much to this community. Fight the weeds, keep the yards j' cleaned up, remember to keep the vacant lots up. They take so much away from adjoining properties unless we do that. The supreme court has wiped out the twelve mile limit so far as rum smugglers are concerned and these boats may now be seized by authorities, the decision of coursei effecting only American vessels. Well, we finally got through April and May with rains almost every day and now' we come to June with a feel- ‘ ing that the weather will settle and ' that after all we may get through , with a fairly good crop and average , prosperity. 1 Charles A. Lindbergh, father of the air hero, was an insurgent in congress and twice a candidate of the non-partisan league for governor of Minnesota which may account to some degree for the fact that the twentyfive year-old youngster has a mind of his ow n. A week of good weather now would .mean several million dollars to this and surrounding counties. Unless we get a corn crop we are sure to feel hard times “a knockin’ at the door” and unless the corn is planted the next ten days, there is not much chance. Pull hard for good weather. ■ It has taken eleven years to settle ' in court the division of the hundred million dollars left by Jdy Gould but ‘ it has finally been accomplished and ' ■ « — •• • ~ former railroad king will be disipated by six heirs. They can’t take it with them and eventually it gets back to the people. For several years the favorite sport in the east has been to make fun of ’ Indiana and ridicule us for permitting the klan to gain such headway. Now it seems the scene of action has . moved to New York where the klan! is staging parades and burning I crosses of fire. Several people were killed and many injured in celebrations there on Decoration Day. The province of Ontario, Canada, | became an oasis today and Windsor, which is just across the river from | Detroit had a very flourishing busmess. The ferry boats were crowded j through the day and the two liquor. stores sold out their entire stock, in-! dicating that the new’ law will be a' revenue producer which will dispel hard times for some of them at least. The more homage paid to Lindbergh over in Europe the more determined we become that his reception back home must outshine theirs and of course they wil? but the finest' thing the government could do for this youngster who has had the courage to turn down a hundred offers by which he could have made a fortune, including one for SIO,OOO per day, would be to provide for him a place in the air service in which he could help. We believe he is really one of the greatest young men in the business and we need his leadership and his courage. The Decatur Recreation Field, a

I place where young and old may enjoy outdoor sports-baseball, tennis, football, track work and other events will be a go. At a meeting of representatives from various organizations held at the Legion rooms last evening, this was definitely decided and 1 officers elected. Paul Graham is chairman, Rev. J. A. Hessian, secretary, and Carl Smith, treasurer. It is the hope of all those interested that eventually the field can be taken over and operated by the city, a splendid thing to do. After all one of the finest things is to provide for the children and the young men aqd women, places for clean enjoyment. Thats the big idea and your aid is needed and requested. The Decatur Country Club was opened to the members and their families last evening and the occasion was not only delightful but indicative of the fine times to be bad there in the future. The spacious club rooms furnished room for amusements of varied kinds and the club will prove a very attractive place. The grounds [are being rapidly put in condition now and will soon be fit«for golfing, machinery and material having been ordered- More than a hundred thousand dollars has been expended so far in preparing this wonderful place and Mr. Schulte stated last evening that the work would go on until everything was just as it should be. Members should pay their joining fees and should lend their support in every way to this enterprise which means so much for the community. o , ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY * * + ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago Thl» Day. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ June 1 Miss Edna Null, of New Haven, badly injured in aute wreck near St. John’s church.

Evanston, 111., June 1— (INS) - A tremendous program of development will be required to harness the Mississippi river to prevent further disastrous floods, in the belief of Dr, Richard T.
