If you happen to be up about midnight take a look in the far east for the Pons-Winnecke comet. It will be nearest to the earth tonight and just visible to the naked eye. Fine weather though the nights are just a little cool. Indications are that the temperature will rise during the next few days and there is a very fair chance for a very good crop. While automobile accidents are fewer in this section recently, its not so every where. Thirteen people were killed in Chicago over Sunday and ten times that many injured. Keep on being careful. •'I have visited twenty towns the past two weeks and Decatur looks to me the best of all of them.” said a visitor here this morning. Os course we stuck our ches? out and encouraged him in his opinion. Keep ’er going. We would give a dollar or two to the fellow who cracked the safe in the Methodist church for a contribution telling just why he did it and what he expected to secure. I* would be good reading and an honest dollar. D. C. Stephenson had been petted and patted for several years and the rules of prison seem rather harsh to his sensitive make-up but so far we haven’t heard of any one feeling sorry for him but himself. Half the world is wondering how

the other half keeps up an automobile and vice versa but we do, so v.hat’s the difference? Twenty years ago we were working bicycles and twenty years from now’ it will be airplanes. We move along. “The Spirit of St. Louis”, airplane in which Col. Charles Lindbergh flew from New York to Paris recently, will be given to the Smithsonian institute at Washington which is just what should be done with the famous flying machine. It has become a national exhibit and during the years to come will be pointed out to millions of visitors at the national capitol. One of our readers sends us a note “On with the park” and declares that he favors the “spooning park” as it is being agitated in Kansas and tells about driving down a short road near a city but twenty miles away and in less than a mile passed eight parked ears containing lovers. This is not proof that the public should maintain a public “lolly-gagging” pond and it should be opposed except on a license basis. Even then there is danger of “bootlegging." It is only the unreasonable use of fireworks that is objectionable. No one wishes to take away from the youngsters the thrills they get from exploding fire crackers and shooting sky rockets but the campaign is to urge them to be careful that they may avoid accidents and prevent fires. Under the present laws Are works cannot be delivered before July Ist which gives four days to pump off the excess steam of patriotism, which should be long enough. ,1 Jl.Ull i 1 = Did you read that page advertisement signed by forty Decatur business men and published in last evening's paper? If you forgot it be sure to hunt up the paper and look at the last page. “Every good citizen should buy, build, believe Decatur —a flue

city,” is the heading and the argument Is as true as gospel. If we would continue to progress we must work together, hand in hand, be loyul to the business interests hero, build ami boost. Its easy to do ami Its so much more profitable In the long run than any other practice. Otis J. Briggs, who conducted drugless healing schools, has confessed that he violated the law. Ills case will receive attention from the courts and it may be presumed that justice will be done. While Briggs provided the diplomas from the mill, dating them back to enable his pupils to evade the state law, the men i.*’d women knowingly who took advantage of his crooked scheme are not blameless. He pretended to teach how to heal without drugs and they were willing to practice on the unsuspecting public, not only without drugs, but without any knowledge. It was a plan to get money from persons who were sick and who would be sufficiently deluded by a few’ big words and the right of a framed diploma to exchange their money for nothing in return. The regular physician undergoes a long and expensive period of training. First he takes his premedic course. After that he must have four years in a medical school. Then he undergoes a trying period when he waits for patients to come. The graduates of the Briggs school could obtain a diploma in a few hours or a few days, after which they would set themselves up as knowing as much about the treatment of human'ills as the man who had spent six years or more preparing to be a doctor. Briggs was the keystone in the arch conspiracy, but undoubtedly many of the men and women who accepted his diplomas and paid what he demanded knew that they had not complied with the law. In fact, they went to him largely for the reason that they understood he was in a position to help them violate the intent of the law, for a price.—lndianapolis News. z — — o— Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Paya
