That little shower this morning sived a lot of people an hour or two of sprinkling but the ground could I have stood more of a drink than it got. 1 Judd Gray and Mrs. Snyder, sentenced to death, complain that its 100 hot in Sing Sing. Thats optimism. Where do you suppose they think they will be in a few weeks’ i Now after Commander Byrd files I around the south pole and that enter-1 prising gentleman makes his 5.000-1 mile leap, Seattle to Japan, where will I they go? Will they find any unknown I

lands? It would be interesting to come back here in a hundred years and see just what has happened, wouldn't it? Another serious accident at the South Tenth street railroad crossing should cause the company to rush along tlie work of installing a wig wag signal. With several factories and the stock yards in that section there Is much traffic across the tracks and with the view cut off there is always danger of a crash. By all means lets have the signal and lets have it soon. One of the chief attrac.ions for visitors to Decatur is the shade and we would not consider a price for our wonderful trees hut they are expensive to the light and power division and the telephone lines. After every storm there is much repair and inconvenience to the users. It would certainly be a great improvement to have under ground conduits carrying the wire lines. , Three hundred dead and more than j a thousand seriously injured over the week-end and the Fourth, according ' to the report of the National Safety Council and the saddest part of it is " that about ninety-nine per cent, of the accidents could have been prevented ' or avoided. Such a reckless waste of 1 life equals a national disaster and should make every mother's son of t us think seriously about It.

It is the general belief that a fourhour conference between Prosecutor Remy, of Indianapolis, and I). C. Stephenson, yesterday, resulted in the former klan leader telling some things that will in due time startle a state which has been startled so often the past few years that we scarcely believed that possible. However, they refuse to say just what did occur and we will have to wait until the matter is brought up in court in regular form. A concrete road past the Decatur Country Club and Memorial Hospital with a handsome new bridge over Borum’s run will add to the appearances greatly and give another first class approach to the city. This road with the proposed Monroe street extension and the Nuttman avenue concrete road will complete the improvement of the leading roads into this county seat and further add to appearances and conveniences. Whatever you may think we are going forward and will continue to do so. Federal officers are here this week looking after liquor law violators and declare they will clean out every "joint" before they let up. Whether they will or won’t, we don’t know, being a little doubtful that results here will be any different than in other

places, but we likewise fall to understand why the bootlegger keeps at It when he knows that eventually he must pay and pay aud pay. The same effort directed otherwise would make as much or more money after expenses are paid and you would be more comfortable all the time. The Coolidges ure human and we learn that even the president and his wife some times have a word or twp. ' Recently Mrs. President went on a , hike, a secret service man following 1 at a respectful distance. The weather J was tine and she walked on and on. I In the meantime Mr. President was I getting hungrier aud hungrier but could not have his dinner until his I wife returned. She was two hours I late, by which time Mr. Coolidge had I reached that stage of exasperation when he had to do something, so he I ordered the secret service man back to Washington on the pretense of not I having called Mrs. Coolidge s attenItion to the lateness of the hour. Guess Ihe showed her who was president. I Reports do not give a verbatim recital lof just what Mr. and Mrs. Cal said to each other. Just 811 it in as you like. I The Citizen’s Telephone company has decided to install underground

conduits which will carry their telephone lines through this city, getting rid of the old cedar posts which are unsightly, unsafe and expensive to maintain. It is a progressive movement worth while and further proof that home owned public utilities which do things are after all the best for any community. We are proud of our telephone company and the advancements they are making and we congratulate them upon this further evidence of doing things in the right way. The plan now is to install about ten thousand feet of underground cables which will take care of the entire business and a large portion of the residence sections. Few cities the size of Decatur have such an improvement as this and it would be splendid if the city could take care jf its electric light lines in the same

By Joseph S. Wasney (U. P.

Then the government gained quite a profit through telephone coin boxes in department buildings. By a working agreement with the telephone company, treasury collected a portion of the receipts from coin slots while federal ’phones could not be used for personal calls. Many departments economized by personal cuts. In many instances high-salaried employes who resigned were replaced by employes at much lower salaries.

billion dollars annually and became of this huge outlay no economies, no matter how small, could be overlooked. Rubber-bands were used over and o <r. until Postmaster General New exclaimed he could get some of his around a bass drum. The Agriculture department even used its pay envelopes over again. Employes when paid returned the envelopes, thus saving the container ami also the labor of typing the name of the receiver on each envelope once more. At the Commerce department paper clips were used until they were worn thin." Chain envelope# were used for inter departmental communications, pencils sharpened to their erasers and paper written on both sides for economy. The Navy and War department used their communication facilities to send commercial messages and also practically all the government s business, collecting funds for the treasury and at the same time saving other governmental agencies money on transmitting communications. The Woodpeckers were inaugurated by General Lord, director of the budget. to “peck away” continuously at unnecessary expenses. ************* * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO * ************* In test vote in Senate on war food bill amendment extreme dry# defeated by vote of 52 to 34.
