The Decatur Country Club is not a myth but a reality. If you will spend an hour there you will want to become a member. Join now. The weather has been rotten ever since that fellow wrote the song “ 'Taint goin’ to rain no mo’," and imposed it on an unsuspecting public. Wish we could understand why when corn is cheap hogs are high and when the price of hogs start down, the quotations on corn go skyward. A hundred more deaths were added to the total of storm fatalities yesterday when wind and flood destroyed thousands of homes in eastern Kentucky. There seems to be no let-up in the havoc of the elements this spring. And so all the time the police were scouring the. country for King Ben, of House of David fame, that degenerate was sitting in his own quarters, reveling in the night life which he enjoyed and in which numerous young girls, still in their teens took part. He has Been a gay old bird and the wonder is that he could put it over! so many years with financial success. There will be more real genuine and clean amusement at the Decatur Country Club from now on than most people of this community have ever had the opportunity to enjoy. Plans are going forward now tor the first dinner party find there are to be a number of events which will bring pleasure to those who participate. If you are not a member, you may yet .loin. Arthur Walser and his sixteen-year-old wife have confessed that they murdered a twelve-year-old boy, Clifford Cox, Mrs. Walser’s cousin, to secure $445 insurance, evidently placed upon the lad with the thought in mind of collecting, it was a cold and deliberate murder and the defendants deserve severest punishment without much regard for the soh stories they are now telling. The murder occured at Marion, Indiana. Don't let the weather lick you farmers. Os course its a big task and of course its easier to sit in the sanctum and tell you what to do than it is to actually do the work. We don’t mean it that way, but we are calling attention to the fact that* there is not much indication of the weather settling to that point where corn ,' planting and other farm work will be comfortable or normal. If you want to realize something from the farm this year you will just have to do the work at fast speed between showers. We’re pulling hard for you and so is everyone else. The Nebraska senate refused to lift the statutory ban on smoking in public restaurants. The Michigan assembly voted the whipping post for armed robbers. After more than forty years of wandering, the little log cabin in which Gen. Grant was born would be returned to its original site by a hill passed by the- Ohio house. The Virginia house of Delegates defeated a measure which would have permitted married women to vote under their married names. A bill which would have permitted Christian Science practitioners was killed in the Maryland assembly. A resolution declareing "indecent” the bronze

| statues of undo sea urchins on a P fountain group in front of the Missouri state house was tabled by the state assembly. A Washington woman legislator proposes a bill making it , illegal "for any woman to have her picture taken while wearing a hut.” t , "Lindy” is on his way home. We don't know how much enthusiasm there will be on this side of the water 2 for this young man, first to cross the J Atlantic by airplane, but we do know > that he has received the greatest > ovation given to uny man in modern j times and that his popularity became 1 so great that the U. S. government deemed it wise to send a cruiser for him, that the president is lingering at Washington to extend a personal welcome and that several cities are eager for the opportunity to show those old world towns how to celebrate a real feat by a real lad. Thats enough. Thomas Barr is an old man now and he looks back over a lifetime spent in the banking business much of it as a state bank examiner in Indiana. At the meeting of bankers held at Bluffton Thursday, he gave out two bits of advice. The first was not to buy foreign bonds which are being offered (o American investors at high rates of interest. Eastern bankers have underwritten many of these loans. Barr counsels against buying them. His second bit of advice is that people pay their debts. He urges in the strongest terms that people should arrange to make some payments on loans or accounts as .they go along, I working toward the ultimate elimination of their obligations. It is a pretty good plan to keep out of debt but at times such a course is not posible in the way modern affairs are carried on. In the old days, people were inclined to wait until they had the money before they did things, but in the present day, they borrow the money if they can, and then have difficulty paying it back. No one will question the soundness of Mr. Barr’s advice and it would be a good thing if it could be generally carried out. — Columbia City Post. — -o + + + ««* + ********* ♦ BIG FEATURES ♦ ♦ OB’ RADIO ♦ SUNDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WJZ—Hookup 8 stations 1 pm—Opera "Roxv and His Gang”.
