The annual basketball sectional tournament is on here and everybody is busy boosting his favorite team. Clean sport is a fine thing for everyone. Whata the matter folks? Where's all your good old fashioned home spirit? We want five hundred members to the Old Home Week club the coming week. Help get them. Become a member of the partnership which will give Old Home Week. We need you and we want you and we are sure you fully intend to. Don’t put it off. Right now is the important time. By the way, the fifteenth of March is not far away and your income tax report must be in the hands of the revenue collector by that time or you are liable to double taxes, a fine of SI,OOO and a year or so in prison. Its not very good business to go delinquent with this matter. McAdoo, Al Smith and Reed will contest for the vote of California, it is reported, making one of the most interesting scraps of the spring campaign season. Its alright to discuss the question in the open and we will be glad to know just what the voters have to say as to these three leaders. Won’t it be fine to see all the folks here next autumn for Old Home Week? Won't we all have a good time and feel better for having done it? Won't it be nice to hear visitors say this is a live place where the best people on earth live? Won't you . join the Old Home Week club and be a part of it? Telephone service between Berlin and the United States by means of , the radiotelephone was inaugurated “on February 10 when the German ~ chancellor and the acting-secretary of the state exchanged remarks. A day or so later a man in San Francisco called to a friend in Germany and the ... two had an eleven minute business £ conversation. This is another example of the wonderful development of • the radio. . A Chicago doctor who performed ' an illegal operation and caused the death of a young lady has been sentenced to death in the electric chair, having been found guilty of murder. A few sentences of this kind would no doubt break up this practice and : after all the professional man who * thus causes the death of a woman for ■ the few measley dollars he can collect is about as low down as any . other breed of murderer. if your son puts away a bigger meal than you yourself tan eat, don't be surprised, advises the bureau of home economics of the United States department of agriculture. He is merely behaving like any normal, active boy of nine to eighteen years of age At certain ages boys aud girls may need one to one and a half time as much protein and mineral matter as adults, according to a new dietary scale worked out by the bureau that gives the needs of each member of the family. Walter Sliead. special reporter for the Indianapolis Nests has oeeu cited

to appear before Judge Marshall of Kokomo, and show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court. The judge issued an order that newspaper men should not pub- ’• lish anything about the evidence of- ’ sered before the grand jury, which is of course supposed to be secret. Shead interviewed witnesses and wrote a story on his guess as to results. Its the old question of how far ’’freedom i of press and speech" really extends. ! Cal E. Peterson has been re-elected I president of the Decatur Industrial ' Association, a deserved honor for one ( of the best boosters in the city. He is conservative aud careful but always willing to do his full share that progress may continue in the community. He loves Adams county and her people and many be depended upon to give all his ability and much of his time to make this city and county go forward the next year. He cannot do it alone, nor can his splendid board of directors. They should have the ■ unqualified assistance of every good

* i citizen. Lets go out and do it this 1 year. We can and should and will. ' Sena toy William Edgar Borah of ' ■ Idaho, has refused for the past two 'years to accept the salary increase ] for senators voted by congress In ’ ’ March, 1925, because he claims that the people of Idaho elected him to office at the old salary, points out James O'Donnell Bennett in an article in this week’s issue of Liberty magazine. ‘‘Borah voted against the bill |to increase the salaries of senators , and representatives from >7,500 a year to >IO,OOO a year,” explains the writer. “In the preceding November the people of Idaho had elected him to his fourth term as senator. His t ■ contention is that the people elected ? him to a >7,500 office, and knew they , I were doing so. Because of this, Borah has drawn from the sergeant at arms , I only three-fourths of the current sen- . atorial salary. The other fourth he has had forwarded to the United i States treasury. “Therefore,” writes Mr. Bennett, “until he is elected for I; a fifth term—if ever —he cannot, in : fairness to the people and with regard for his own honor, accept >IO,OOO a year. His present term will not ex- ; pire until 1931. And it ought to be that he has never sought to I capitalize this decision.” o — ****¥¥>i<¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * <{**¥*¥¥¥¥¥¥¥S SATURDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES] WJZ—Hookup 8 pm.

THE SPIRIT OF PROGRESS DECATUR is the best old palcc That ever there could he We like to tike each others hand And sec how we agree. Wo talk about the former things Those days of long ag<x We really think of all the boys And girls we used to know. Their business called them off front here —Away from home and us And so we thought to ’point a time To make a little fuss. We all, agreed ’(would do us good To see them all once more And so we named, “THE OLD HOME WEEK” Wc latch-stringed every door. We sent the notice everywhere To tell what we had done And how we all had thus agreed To welcome every one. Our town went wild with human joy I he papers told the tale And every time the post-man came He brought us special mail. Wc found wc touched the righteous chord That makes “Home Week” no joke When we agreed to treat ourselves By treating former folk. And now iPecatur wears the smile That never will grow less She carries with her all the while 'l'he Spirit of Progress.

Tips For Taxpayers No. Eighteen Taxes on personal property and real estate paid during the taxable year 1927 are deductible. So-called taxes assessed against local benefits, such as street paving or drainage, which tend to increase the value of the property assessed are not deductible, since they are considered as constituting the cost of a permanent improvement. The Federal income tax may not be deducted. However, income taxes imposed upon the income of individuals by States may be deducted by an individual on his Federal income-tax return. The Federal estate tax is deductible from the gross income of the state of a decedent in process of administration in ascertaining net income of the estate subject to the tax. Customs duties paid by a person on articles imported for his own use are deductible. Admission taxes are deductible. Admission taxes are deductible but the taxpayer must show that account has been kept of the amount paid during the year. Guesswork will not be accepted. Taxes are deductible as such only by the persons upon whom they are imposed. Thus, the excise taxes imposed upon the sales by manufacturers of automobile chassis and bodies and motor cycles are not deductible by the purchaser, even though such taxes are billed to him as separate items. o — *¥¥¥¥¥¥*«¥¥¥* * TWENTY YEARS AGO * ¥ ♦ ¥ From the Daily Democrat Filo ¥ ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today ¥ *«¥*¥¥¥¥«¥¥•* March 3 —Dr. Edwin Holt Hughes.
