Be sure to decorate tomorrow fol the American Legion convention ant Monday for the Fourth. Hang thi flags out. Dead men are carried on the paj

roll of the Terra Haute city govern mmt, it is now charged. Sounds like the report of an investigation of eon gressmtn made a few years ago. If you take the llivver out tomorrow or next day, keep ’er to the right and watch out for the fellow who isn't watching out. Probabilities are there will be considerable traffic. The marathon craze reached its climax a short time ago when some idiot sat twelve days and night or something like that on top of a flag pole. Anything to gain notoriety. Fire crackers are dangerous in the hands of reckless boys and men and can cause much damage and suffering. It is perhaps just as well that each year the regulations become a little more severe. "The most perilous flight ever completed” is the description in a few words of the trip of the Fokker monoplane, piloted by Commander Byrd and the four brave men who made the flight are to be congratulated. You will hear more of them in the future. Well, any way. we got a breath this , morning after gasping three days and . night and it tasted good. The good j old sum£ i time is a line subject to sing about but inconvenient for those *

who have to earn a living by the “sweat of their brows.” Save your fire crackers for the Fourth and don't make Sunday a holiday of noise and patriotic outburst. Thats the request of those representing a large portion of the population and whatever your individual ideas may be, you should not disturb religious meetings or interfere with those who still regard the Sabbath as a day of rest and quiet. Its their day ami it should be so observed, at least during the hours of worship as has been requested by the pastors of the various churches and by Mayor George Krick. We bid a sincere welcome to the American Legion boys who will gather here tomorrow for their district convention. As we have said time and again, we are proud of you all Snd shall never forget the debt we owe you young men who offered your lives in the most terrible war ever fought. We are sure you will have a delightful day at the meeting here and we are sure that if there is any thing that any citizen of Decatur can do to make your visit here more happy, it will be gladly done. This city is yours for the day and again, Colonel McNutt and every member of the American Legion, WELCOME. And now though we have had but three or four days of actual summer, we come to the Fourth of July, the occasion for celebrating our 151st anniversary of the independence of the American states. It is O s course the greatest national holiday and the one on which we are expected to give three cheers for the red, white am! blue, swear continued allegience to the greatesf government the world has ever known, make a lot of noise and be happy. We re for it all but we

suggest also that you take the timel to read a chapter In history and the! declaration of independence so that! j you will know what Its all about and I ) can tell the children. ) The Hoosier Automobile Association is always trying to do some thing to help the motorist. Thats their job and they have been doing it well. They have marked the roads, secured needed legislation, provided routes - and done many tilings worth mention >r ing. Just now they are on a cam ,d paign to have drivers of cars taki lu them to the side of the road whet they wish to repair# tire. Numerou accidents have been reported because y some driver has stopped his car oi

the highway while he devotes som e minutes to repair work. Its a danget a ous practice and the Hoosier is urg iug every one to help do away witl it. Not such a bad idea when yot r . think of it and if the other fellov t should do it, so should you. t L It begins to look very much at though the interurban lines will bt taken up, permission having beer ( granted the company which owns it > to adbandon It between July 24th and ■ August 24th. The action is regretted • ami we hope there is yet a change of the decision by the owners. For twenty years the people of this community have used the traction line when and as they needed it, praised it some, “cussed” it occasionally but finding it always a convenient and reliable reserve mode of travel. The automobile truck and touring car and the busses have reduced patronage of freight and passengers to that point where it is no longer profitable to operate and there seems to be no way of siving the situation. Perhaps a little effort on the part of citizens here, cooperating with Fort Wayne interests, might work out a plan if effort was made and we feel that at least a further investigation as to the “whys and wherefores” should be made before we just permit it to slip out. o *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥*

Indianapolis, July 2 — (UP) — Fire works are no longer a serious Fourth of July problem in the opinion of Dr. William F. King secretary of the state board of health. . ' Bad booze and joyriding are the two causes of July 4 casualties now.” King declared today. “The only advice is to ‘stop, look and listen’ and remember that any alcohol used by motorists should be confined to the radiator of the car itself." For fireworks burns, especially where the skin has been cut, the old advice of calling a competent doctor quickly still holds good. Anti-tetanous treatment is almost a sure remedy if applied in time, he pointed out. o Fireworks In Show Window Fired By Sun Plymouth, Ind., July 2 (UP*) a.' premature and unprofitable Fourth of July celebration occurred in the Milton Soice hardware store yesterday afteruoow when heat from the sun ignited fire works displayed in a show window. A large plate glass window was broken by the explosion and firemen were calle dto extinguish the blaze which resulted.

i Huge Income Os Three Moonshiners Is Halted Martinsville, July 2 —Visions of three Kentuckians that they might be< «<me millionaires at the expense of Indian apolis whiskey drinkers were blasted today when Sheriff Rufus Pointer and his aides rounded up Fred Cramer and two assistants who were operating a still on Raub Hill, near here. “We’d have made a million if you’d left us alone for thirty days," they told their captors as the ywere being lodged in jail.
