Floods are again causing damage in the west and southwest but there are hopes and indications that it will not be severe as those of a few weeks ago. Two hundred folks who attended the Country Club party last evening are ready and willing to testify that its a real place for such an event and that there is sure to be in store many delightful afternoons and evenings for those who enjoy life and activities. This is the longest day of the year and the first day of summer. The sun came up this morning at 4:09 and will sink in the west at 7:16. We have been complaining considerably about not having had any summer and here we are just starting in on it really. We may have plenty of it yet, the predictions of the wise boys nothwithstanding. A Chicago man says he has dug up . by the roots a family tree which ' shows that Lindy is a descendant of Charlemagne, the greatest French king. A family tree in our possession shows that Lindy is a descendant of Noah, the greatest overland sailor - that the world has ever known, and of Adam, who let a woman make the greatest fool of him. Lindy may take after Noah, but there is no evidence that he takes after Adam. — Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. One of the causes, for high prices and other present day difficulties is waste. Statistics recently compiled in Washington show that the waste in materials, labor, power and human energy is about fifty per cent. Think nf that. If we could eliminate half the co.-:. we could buy and seii" P’oducts at a price which would surprise most folks and make it possible for them to get so much more in the way of necessities and pleasure. Why don’t we all try to be more careful and to avoid waste? The Decatur Country club is a wonderful institution and you ire peculiarly constituted if you can't see the benefits from such an addition to the community. Compare it with similar clubs over the country and you will find that it now compares with those which have been under construction for years and within a short time it will be an outstanding attraction which will advertise this city more than any thing we have. Mr. Schulte has invested a fortune in the property and he now invites you to enjoy it at a nominal cost. By doing so you will not only have a good time but you will be aiding your home town to do something worth doing and show your appreciation to those who have made the club possible. By a vote of five to one, Indianapolis yesterday adopted the commissionmanager form of government, effective ’©after the election in 1929. It cannot be used before that because of a statute which makes it impossible to vote officials out before their term expires. While it had been predicted that the proposition would carry the overwhelming majority in favor of it surprised ever the most ardent boosters. For some years the capitol city has had its troubles and after tjic administration of Lew Shanks and John Duval, the people have decided j they have had enough. Cincinnati has had the manager ftfrm of governments for several years and it has brought I

; them out of the “nine hole" in such 'a surprising manner that other large cities are following. In the average small city the old plan of government Is cheaper and just as good or better but in the larger places where graft has become a popular sport, the era-1 ploynient of a manager muy solve some of their problems. Anyway,| Indianapolis has this advantage —, things can't be much worse than they have been. The Journal of the Indiana State I Medical Association has tills very I pointed opinion about the recent dis-1 cusslon of the use of medlcyial liquor in Indiana: "It doesn't make any difference whether there is a disagreement among the medical men as to the therapeutic value of whisky, the fact remains, as pointed out in the resolution passed by the house of delegates to the American Medical Association at the Washington session, that no lay persons or body of lay persons should dictate to members of the medical profession as to what remedies shall be prescribed as therapeutic agents in the treatment of disease, or in what quantity they shall be prescribed. The principle involved in this discussion is unques- ! tioned by intelligent and rationalminded people. If congress or a state legislature can dictate as to the amount of alcoholic beverages that a physician may prescribe as a therapeutic agent, then it is but a step further to dictate as to how much strychnine, digitalis, quinine or any other therapeutic agent may be used.” . —o * + * + + + + *<+«’**•»** ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. * ♦ + + + + + <• + ♦**♦*♦♦* June 22—Margaret Eiting.
