We ' would like to have at least two hun-' dred in before Wednesday night. Senator Robinson got into hot water when he attempted to ridicule Governor Al Smith of New York.! Even the honorable enemies of Smith took a whack at the fresh Indiana statesman. — s If you want an Old Home Week in j Decatur next autumn attend the meeting at the industrial headquarters next Wednesday evening and say so and if you don’t believe it, be there and say why. In other words be a i citizen of your community and take part in its affairs. — Out in Denver a lot of modernists have filed incorporation papers for the “Coinpaniate Marriage Political Party,” declaring their object is to J promote legislation to legalize trial marriages. Why legislate for that? Most of them are trial marriages if the divorce courts are considered. One of the republican canduiatwil for governor, a man named from the south part of the state, has quit the race, declaring there are! too many for any one to attract attention. We expect that if they knew it a lot of the others on both tickets could save time and «ffort and money. 1 President Coolidge does not choose to change his choice .made last fall, he will not permit his name to be entered in the Wyoming contest, j Evidently Silent Cal means it when; he says a thing though it takes evidence to convince Senator Fess and | a few of the boys who wanted to hang on to his coat tail. Several new building blocks are to I be erected here this spring and summer if present plans are carried out. Thats the stuff. Lets build some residences, lets have an Old Home Week, lets boost every concern here now, lets build roads, lets get a factory or two. Lets'put the old town over. We can do it. Ix?ts go. According to Washington newspaper men, Herbert Hoover is the thinnest skinned man to be in politics for years. He gels swearing mad every time he gets hit while the average man can take a lot of tjiat kind of punishment and still smile whether he means it or not. Herb just can't do it. Ils not too early to start cleaning the yard. Soon the city will make the annual clean up canvas, hauling away the debris. Whatever else we do we can all find a little time to: make our city look better. Its a fine investment in every way, chiefly in that it provides more happiness for those living here. hi the meantime join the Old Home; Week club and lets have a good re-' port to make to the Sneeting next 1 Wednesday night. We know of a lot of folks who intend to join but just put it off for one reason or another.l Come on folks, we’re all going to help J put this over, it wilt make this a * belter community for it will bring every one in on a common cause. No city of six thousand can afford

1 to just sit still and let the procession I go by. We need more activities. I more get-to-gether •sessions, more I effort. We can make this the best I year we ever had if every one will I pitch in and do a little. Attend the ' meeting at the Industrial rooms next Wednesday evening and say whats lon your mind. 31 U..JLIt Is to be hoped that the execution iof William Hickman, murderer of little Miriam Parker of Los Angeles will not be delayed any longer than 'ls absolutely necessary. Thats one of the difficulties in this country, too Ima n y technicalities, too much leniency when none is due. It Is not that we favor capital punishment but it is that we favor the enforcement promptly and to the letter, the law whatever it is. Spring is here, not only according to the calendar but likewise judged by the weather, the sunshine and the general spirit of the folks. Its time for marbles and fishing and baseball, its time for house cleaning and plantHug and landscaping, its time for a general awakening from the dull of winter and its time to clean up and paint up. Don’t put it off. Lets ■ all get at it and make the old town j shine. Police officials acting under orders from th* city council will kill all unI licensed dogs running loose, so it I seems to be up to you to take care o< your dog if you care for him. There is nothing else to do if we care for the rights of others. We noticed while walking down street today a whole herd of dogs playing in one flower bed and we wouldn’t blame the owner of that property for get- ' ting real .mad. A dog is a fine pet I when properly cared for but otherwise about as mucii of a nuisance as any animal can be. You say we can't do things? Where and how do you get that way? The Zion Reformed church of this city, with a comparatively small congregation has paid off a $52,400 indebted,ness within five years. We call that ! a real record, significant of what I I could be done by the entire city if 1 iwe really wanted to do it. We congratulate the pastor and the congregation of this organization. You ' have set an example that should help lin many ways. Let the rest of the world say things can’t be done. We know they can when the will is there backed by sufficient effort and enterprise. • Every bed excepting one is in use today at the Adams County Memorial hospital and the nurses, regular and special, are getting along as be:.' they can. The proposed new home for the nurses is a necessity and it ! is the hope of those who are interested in making the h<-spital here the very best to be found any where, that x this improvement can be made early next year. Such a building would cost about $25,000 but the operating expense would be slight and it would add greatly to the convenience of those who give their very best all . the time to relieve sufferings of oth- : ers and to make every patient at the hospital as comfortable as possible. o *¥¥¥¥¥•»•¥¥¥¥** * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * »¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥£!

GETS CLUES IN BOMBING MYSTERY Hammond, Ind., Mar. 23. — (UR) — Hammond's most baffling mystery, the bombing of the State theatre last November, developed several new clues which brought deputy state tire marshall, Elmer Vrooman, to the city recently. He will return soon to continue his investigation. Vrooman refused to divulge any of the details of the ease further than te stay that he was working on a promising angle which might lead to a complete solution of the mystery. Police Chief Emil A. Bunde. of Hammond, and Sandor Singer, a member .of the Hammpnd detective squad, are cooperating with Vrooman. The State theatre was wrecked by a powerful bomb last November 8, causing damage estimated at $500,000. It has been closed since that time. No plans have been announced for the reconstruction of the building. During the past five months all angles investigated by the authorities have proved useless. Hundreds of-theorles have been advanced but one by one all have been abandoned. * 0 ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ » TWENTY YEARS AGO * ♦ * * From the Dally Democrat File * ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today ¥ *¥***¥¥¥¥*«** March 23— Marriage license, Harley S .ygart and Alta Marschund.
