The weeds must be cut by July Ist. U'on’t you please attend to it tomorrow? Amos and his force will appreciate it. Some boob is suing his movie queen for five million dollars for breach of promise. If he collects he is going to cause that babe to cut out her embossed cigarettes for a few weeks. That boy sure did miss his guess that there would be frost the 28th. It was the warmest day and night of the year. And we are so glad of it that we forgive him for his pessimism. Eighty per cent, of all the automobiles in the world are in the United States and we feel sure they were all on the one road we traveled the other day between here and Fort Wayne. Do you play golf? If you have the time and don’t do it you are missing something. It takes you out in the big outdoors, shows you pictures you will wonder at, exercises tired muscles and brings back to your cheeks the pink signs of health. We believe it would be a fine thing to advertise Decatur in some of the national business journals. It seems probable that a few hundred dollars thus spent might attract industries to a city of 6,000 which has a low power

rate, good schools and churches, the best labor conditions and every facility including three leading railroad lines. Why no’t tell the world about Mr. Merchant, there is something in your sto k that properly advertised and properly priced, will move. That means that you have the opportunity to attract people to your store with the intention of buying. A little effort and a little space in this paper will increase your total business and that means a successful year instead of one that is just so-so. With airplane flights on the Atlantic and the Pacific at the same time, the world probably realizes that the United States is after all not unconscious of the progress now being made along that line. When the time comes to manufacture and sell planes this nation will make them in the same proportion that they do the automobiles now. We have been requested to call your attention to the fact that July Ist is nearly here and that there arc still a number of vacant lots on which the weeds have not been cut. Unless you look after this by day after tomorrow, the street commissioners force will cut them and the cost will be charged against your property as taxes. They don’t want to do it, much preferring that you show that much cooperation in the efforts to keep the city looking its best but if you Won’t, then they must. With a number of splendid industries, excellent farming community, a’tractive homes, a happy well-to-do people, a home owned -power, light and water plant, a local modern telephone system, a municipal swimming pool, an athletic field, a country club unexcelled, miles of paved streets and sidewalks well lighted, it is not to be wondered at that visitors speak of this as a good little city. Its one of the finest spots we know of and

you can boost it out loud without fear r of contradiction. The meanest and simplest man hereabout tried to rob the Methodist ■ church at Decatur Sunday night. This J’ fellow spent the wfyole night, evidentit ly, in getting the church safe apart and then found—nothing. Might have expected it. A church safe that contains money would be a real curiosity. 2 Churches and newspaper offices sei0 dom have a surplus lying around. — , 5 Bluffton Banner. , ’ One of our juvenile friends wants D to know what has become of the cookie jar that grandma talks about and which he hasn’t been able to locate in the pantry, now filled with canned goods. Dear little friend the candy jar was once a reality and bake days were real events of the long ago but the big jar which was always partially filled with brown cookies has disappeared with the rubber tired buggy and the old-fashioned bustle ‘ and long skirts. The new bake shop which can turn out 10.000 cookies while mother could make fifty in the i old-fashioned way has done away with f the old earthen crock that was always , placed in a handy place for the youngsters to piece out of.

STEPHENSON IS : READY TO TALK II " 1 ■ .. Former Grand Dragon Offers To “Talk Freely” About Indiana Politics i Indianapolis, June 29.—f UP)—Calmc nes today greeted the statement of D. C. Stephenson, former grand dragon ) to “talk freely" about Indiana politics, i to "talk freely' 'about Indianapolitics. Prosecutor Wiliam H. Remy, of > Marion county, to whom the offer was conveyed by specific request of Stephenson, was irked by the openness wit li which the announcement was made. He gave no indication of dei sire to act immedlatey and commented • that “time•will show if the promise is . bona fide," Stephenson gave out the statement from his cell in the Indiana state prison at Michigan City. From it he was led a few weeks ago to testify in an investiagtion by the state board of charities of his charges that Judson officials’were treating him cruelly. The board's report on this inquiry is to be made public Friday, but newspaper stories have had it that prison officials are exonerated. It was only a few hours after the boards' report had been delivered to Gov. Ed Jackson that Robert Moore, Michigan City’ attorney for Stephenson, gave out the statement, as follows: "Reports of the action of the Iqpiana state board of charities say it is a whitewash of the officials of the state prison. I have been doublecrossed for the last time and I am, ready to talk. You can tell Prosecutor Remy of Marion county that 1 have numerous things that I am prepared to talk about freely, and they are matters which 1 believe will start a much needed cleanup in Indiana politics.” Prosecutor Remy almost snorted. "I do not see,” he commented after ■ ■

the statement had been read to him. "why Moore bad to tell the whole world that Stephenson would talk before he told me. "He Indicated that lie would expect Moore to communicate with him directly before he would take any steps. "Stephenson probably has kept up to date with his information," the prosecutor said. “Be seemed to know all the time what was going on In the grand jury room during the political probe. This Is at least a very interesting piece of news. Further developments only will show if the offer to talk is bona fide." Explaining himself, Remy said that throughout the Marion county investigation of Indiana politics, similar offers to “tell all" were made, but did not materialize. "This was taken as a reference to Stephenson's reported refusal to testify before the grand jury last fall.
