It seems there ought to be same ways better for securing publicity than the bloomer stunt now being | ( used from Indiana. Is Lindy so great and tall? In the I pictures we see of him he seems to I stand head and shoulders over every oue else in the crowd. He is. A Bridgeport, Connecticut man lias confessed that he has married sixteen times since August. He must have * had a Merry Christmas. I The great trouble with that dis- 1 patch from Rio de Janeiro about the ;' child born with a mustache and beard ; 1 was that it didn’t say whether it was i 1 a boy or a girl and that might make j< a difference. I * ■i j < The place for holding the democratic j< national convention will be decided ; t by the national committee at Wash- i ington tomorrow. Most of us feel we ; f would rather pay our share than have them accept San Francisco as the , place. Its a long ways out there. . 1 Cleveland sounds better. ,i «»_ < Lew G. Ellingham, former editor of ; t the Daily Democrat and now publish- t er of the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette t has again been honored, this time by ■ ■ his selection as a member of the | i board of directors of the First National bank of Fort Wayne, recognition t of his successful business accutucn < and good judgment. i . 1 ■ i " i Big business of the United States 1 s should employ Colonel Lindbergh top represent them in South and Central t America and other foreign countries. ; f He could take his Spirit of St. Louis i and jog over in a short time, employ i s a secretary to write down orders and ' f bring home a larger supply of bacon . than an army of salesmen and after ( all one of the important things this ' nation has to do is to increase is < business abroad. Republican papers are predicting i 1 that the get together meeting of the ' 1 democrats in Washington tomorrow , I will result in a wide split in the party. I ' Well, there is this satisfaction about : , it, if it has to come it is better to i come now than in the convention. We don't believe that any such thing will occur for the one thousand or more leaders in session at Washington know that it rtuiuires a united party to meet the opposition successfully and know that the country needs ' them now very badly. The roads ;tre in rnther bad condition again, that is they are soft and require observance of the laws rogulating the loads to he hauled over them. We call your attention to the fact that tiro laws on this aro stiff and that it is necessary to enforce them that we may avoid spending millions of dollnrs so rebuild them. Os course this inconveniences some who liavc planned to make certain deliveries at certain times but it can not •be helped. Don't ruin the roads. Help .keep them in condition. Observe th< Jaw. New Bremen, Ohio, is converting the baselmll park into u landing field for airopbines, not a bad Idea either, in this age of flying. While it is ' doubtlul) that every town and city needs an airport, those which do provide them will get the advantage of being pioneers, it has been suggested here and the plan is worth conj

isiderstlon, that a large sign showing ' that this is "DECATUR" bo painted across the tops of the buildings on the east side of second street. Since these buildings are all two stories, it would not be difficult to do and would j prove helpful to pilots of airplanes. I It pays to keep up-to-date The United States senate is seriously considering a proposal made by ' Senator Dill to place u microphone i on the desk of each member so that radio listeners may hear every thing that goes on there. We fear that such ' a progressive step would tend to I place a bridle on some of the fire eaters and that it would become a sort of a singsong 'program. You know they have been able to have elated any phrase or sentence they desired and substitute those that might sound better to the voters back home and it the folks are to hear it verbatim, necessarily they will all be more careful. But don't worry, it probably will not be done for a year or two. . .... . V The Decatur Country club held its annual meeting this week and selected a board of governors, fourteen men and women who are to direct the policies for the coming year. They will meet soon to organize but it should be remembered that they can only direct. It will require the cooperation of every member and of every citizen who believes in the club. Mr. Schulte and Mr. Haney, who have so far carried most of the burden and who have had more than their share of it deserve the support of this community to a person. It is fine to have a County Club such as ours, fine to enjoy, fine to exhibit to our friends and fine because it adds to the attractiveness of the community. To keep it we must support it sincerely and earnestly. For more than half a century it has been known that cellulose, the basis of paper and many other products, could be made from cornstalks. But nothing was done about it. Cornstalks were usually allowed to rot in the fields, or at best dumped into the silo. Now at last industry is turning Its attention (o this raw material. There are factories in this country operating as yet on a small scale, but doing important pioneer work, turning cornstalks into high grade cellulose and thence into paper, artificial silk, imitation leather and many other articles of trade. The most obvious thing about this process is its twofold value of increasing the paper pulp supply and at the same time conserving our forests. Cornstalks are said to make excellent paper, and ,hey are one of the most plentiful byproducts of American agriculture. That should help to solve the farmer's prosperity problem, too. **¥¥**>****** * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * -V *¥•¥*** « WEDNESDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAK Hookup 9:30 pm. Opera Mignon.

Fort Wayne. Mr. H. L. Cecil in his review wrote as follows: "The novelty comedy 'Gertie,' an innovation in a laugh-producing play, is the attraction of the Wright Players it the Majestic theatre this week. " 'Gertie' is a comedy depending largely upon its wise cracks and its lines for the laughter it brings. Chief comedy roles go to Truman Quevli, Kathryn Card, Bernard Pate and Betty Kent, but there are many laughs in the lines of the leading role carried by Miss-Marion Wells. "‘Gertie’ verges upon the melodrama in its second act. It almost returns to the days of the shop girl—villian play, but not quite for sophisticated lines avoid the danger.” Next Sunday night, the Wright Players will present “The Barker,” a play in three acts by J. Kenyon Nicholson. one of the outstanding successes in New York last winter. All the ;cenes take place on the lot of Col. Gowdy's Big City shows. It is a traveling carnival and takes the players ind public to Shelbyville, Cambridge City, and Rantoul. Illinois. But it is the inner life of the travelling folks—restless, yet resigned—that rivets the attention of the. auditors. Walter Huston and Richard Bennett have both played the part of Nifty with marked success. The play was produced at the Biltmore Theatre. ,N'ew York, last winter by Charles L. Wagner in association with Edgar Selwyu, and it proved to be a sensational hit. itadvt.
