The swimming pool is doing a landoffice business these days and you need only to visit that popular place to appreciate how badly the youngsters wanted it. The weather bureau experts who predicted no summer and frightened every body almost to death must feel rather cheap when they have to rush to the mountains or sea shore to keep from melting.

That will be. fine and will make every visitor who drives through the two miles of the city’s main street, talk about us in a favorable way. By the w*ay, this is the best lighted city in the state right now. In the midst of one of his heavy editorials, Will Rogers, patient in a hospital following an operation, suspends to remark—“ Good Lord, here she comes with another dose of castor oil", which indicates that Bill doesn t enjoy jhat part of his illness any more than the rest of us would. ■■■>. if 5 ? > ;! ar< going to cut the weed. Theit is no bluff- itliotu tm* announcement tha unless you have done so by tomorrow the city will do it for you and charge* the cost up as taxes. We can't afford to have the appearance and the health of the community marred by weeds on a few lots. It looks as though the old Pittsburg plus rule has been adopted by the railroads and the Interstate Commerce Commission to prevent the farmers and hay men of this section from competing with the eastern hay dealers. They have refused to adjust rates though they admit they are unfair, a condition that doesn't seem possible, but is. The city of Indianapolis has begun a campaign to exterminate rats, a census taken in some manner unexplained, showing a rat population ot over 700,000 and a gain of twenty-five plr cent a year. They have employed J. L. Nichols, of Baltimore, an expert, to “pound sand in the rat holes. He claims that each rat costs the city $1.82, a total of a million and a half a year. Perhaps that will explain some of their numerous Yon may not get Quite the thrill out of Commander Byrd's flight that you have from some of the others but it will be more important than any of them because this great flyer is experimenting for the purpose of improving the science of aeronautics rather than for any commercial purpose or for accomplishing a spectacular feat and we say that with all due regard for other flyers and with appreciation of their wonderful accomplishments. Advertise Decatur. Tell the world that we have the finest city of 6,000 , in all the land, with paved streets, i good water, a power plant that furnishes power at a low rate, a modern , hospital, a sporty golf course, a mu- , .uicjpal swimming pool, the very best j - / ‘

labor conditions, wonderful schools and churches of every denomination and that this is the county seat of Adams county which has seven hundred miles of improved roads, Including two state highways. We believe there are a lot of business concerns ami industries just looking for such I a spot. We agree with Senator Borah that it would be much wiser if the United States would . devote its spare time and money that is now* being spent 'in the naval disarmament meeting at Geneva to the helping ot the five hundred thousand Americans who were ruined by the recent floods. We have lost faith in the sincerity of those foreign nations which are constantly seeking an advantage at the expense of this country and there is not the least question that the only change in the flood situation of the southwest is that it has lost the spectacular features which makes it big news. The people down there are just now beginning to suffer and we as a nation just sit by and "fish and cut bait" while letting things take their course. Lieutenants Maitland and Hegenberger have successfully conquered the unchartered and dangerous waters of the Pacific, having completed a non-stop plane flight from San Francisco to Honolulu, a feat second only to those accomplished recently by Lindbergh and Levine in their flights across the Atlantic. It is another step of progress and the time will come when such events will be no more exciting .than are (hose trips now made by the liners. But don’t get too confident that we have reached the point of safety. There is much to be done yet before such excursions can be safely made. These men are but the pioneers and it remains for those whose business i. Is to make this mode of traffic more dependable, so perfect that the nerves of the average traveler will not jump more than a million points when he takes his bertjj. —o V ******** * * TWENTY YEARS AGO * ¥ * * From the Daily Democrat File * * Twenty Years Ago Today * ************* June 30, 1907—Was Sunday. o * * * * * * ****** * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * : ; ; ************ Friday’s Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1927 by U.
