Renew your subscription this week if you haven't done it Just as a test of skill, how many trees can you call by name in this country? it may surprise you after you have mentioned a dozen or two to know the federal forestry service has discovered and listed 1,177 varieities. It will be interesting to know how' Fred Landis and Tom Adams will run in the republican primary race for governor. Both are square shooters who have talked right out loud while the others are trying to force them to keep quiet. Billy Sunday' closed a revival at St. Louis Sunday night and left with contributions totaling over $20,000. It evidently still pays well. Six thousand were converted and it is claimed the evangelist preached to 450,000 during the seven weeks. That new fuelless motor is explained by the inventor to be operated by using a premagnatized core and cutting the line of magnetic force north and south. Suppose you understand just how that is. Well, we don’t. Just why these flyers insist on making fifty or hundred mile test flights out over the Atlantic when there is so much good territory over laud, we can’t see. geems to us we would rather land in a tree than in that shark field. We assure you it is alright with us if you don’t want an Old Home Week. We were led to believe that you did, but only a few of those who urged such an event have joined the club devised to raise the finances for such an occasion. Os course it can’t just happen. As the campaign opens we should all remember that honest convictions of others should be respected. Tolerance will bridge many chasms, level the rough places in our pathways, and lift us above the whirlwind of contention. Lets don’t wrangle among ourselves, lets pull together. The cement manufacturers want a twenty cents per barrel tariff and don’t make any bones about it, they wait to raise the price that amount. Tints one of the big difficulties with the tariff, too many use it as a price fixing apparatus. This particular schedule would mean a tax against the people of the country of some twenty-live million dollars. From the way the $133,900 mail train lobbery was cleaned up we are led to believe that they didn’t have things fixed as well as they might have if they had taken advice from some of the rum runners in that section. However we are glad they got them and if its a sign of the predicted clean-up in the ‘‘Windy City" it makes a very good start. Farm population has decreased nearly three million since 1320, according to government figures. By the way, did it ever occur to you that with the birth-rate declining in this country and the present limits on immigration there is a probability

that we will have less population in 1930 than we had in 1925? We are not arguing whether thats a good thing or a detriment, just stating the facts as they now appear. Our subscription campaign is drawing to a close, We are hoping as you surely are aware, that we will not have to drop a single one. It has been one of the most successful we have ever conducted and only a few remain to make the annual renewals one hundred per cent perfect. You want the paper this year for there will be much news of interest and we want to serve you. Don’t put it off longer, renew this week. A new factory which would employ a hundred people would be worth a lot of money to every business man, property owner and laborer in Decatur. It would mean building more houses, it would bring jobs for those unemployed, it would put the town , over fn dandy shape. Why nut? I Scarcely a week passes that we don’t I hear of some town of five to ten I thousand landing an Institution and it seems to us to be a matter of being wide awake enough to go after the thing at the right time. No city in the land has the living conditions, better labor facilities, a better com- | niunity with as fine churches and i schools. We have a wonderful city light and water plant, we have good streets and light and everything needed. It is an ideal place for the location of a plant. We need one now and we ought to work until we get it. A feature of the recent Rotary convention at West Baden was an address by Frank: Mulholland, urging cooperation of all countries to forever prevent war. He gave some i staitling figures. The World war | cost four hundred billion dollars, I Thats a lot of money. It would build a ’ $2,500 house on a SSOO lot and place SI,OOO worth of furniture inside, for each family in the United States, England, Germany, Canada, Ireland. Wales, France, Belgium, New Zealand and Australia. It would also build a $10,000,000 schoolhouse and a $lO,000,000 hospital in each city of 200,000 | or more population in each country above named and leave enough to create a fund the interest from which would pension 125,000 school teachers and 125,000 nurses for generations to come. Thats what the World War cost. Do you think we can afford another very soon? o **¥*¥¥■!.»****♦ * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * 17¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥K TUESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF —Hookup 8 pm.

Tips For Taxpayers ‘ To be allowed, a claim for a deduction for a loss incurred in a "transac- * tion entered into for profit.” not connected with the taxpayer's trade or business, must have several distinct qualities. The intent to make a profit must have existed at the beginning of the enterprise. A less sustained in the payer as his residence without intent sale of a house purchased by a taxto make a profit, and substequently rented, is not deductible. A taxpayer who buys an automobile to be used for busines purposes and sells it at a loss is entitled to a deduction for the less sustained. But a loss.sustained in the sale of an automobile purchased for pleasure or convenience is not deductible, the transaction not having been entered Into tor profit. All losses are dednctible only to the extent for which they are not compensated for by insurance or otherwise. o *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥**¥¥* * TWENTY YEARS AGO » * • * From the Dally Democrat File * * Twenty Years Ago Todsy ¥ «¥¥¥«*«¥«**•* Feb. 28—U.
