The painters and paper hangers are busy these days but you can get your order in now any time and they will serve you as quickly as they can. We are informed that boosters for daylight saving in Decatur are working quietly and with hopes of success. Unless those opposed get busy and I rather quickly, we will have that in-i convenience one of these fair days. The Anti-Saloon, League is claim- ■ ing a victory in the Illinois election.; but we prefer to wait until we see how the new officials perform before j agreeing with them. You will probably be able to find a glass of beer * if you hunt hard enough for a while at least. By the way. hope you haven't for-1 gotten that the annual clean-up week opens April 30th and that by that time I yon are expected to have the yards 1 cleaned and the rubbish and old cans placed in barrels or boxes so they can be quickly and easily bandied by. the city force. A total of 23,127,315 motor vehicles were licensed in this country last year which is an average of one for every five people. The license money totaled more than three hundred mil- I lion dollars which ought to construct ' a good many miles of first-class roads • if properly used. Mayor Bill Thompson, of Chicago, declared that if States Attorney Crowe was defeated in the primary j he would take it as a personal rebuke i and immediately resign as mayor. Crowe was beaten, so it seems to be ' up to Bill. We can't imagine him going though with his "boast. Those who persist in violating the liquor laws certainly do so with the expectation of a trip to the penal farm. Thats what they are getting around here and what they will continue to get and they tell us that the Putnamville farm is not the pleasantest place in the world to spend a vacation. They are going to proescute the “hoodlums" who murdered, slugged, kidnaped and bombed in the Tuesday primary in Chicago. Now some one will get fined a dollar or slapped on the wrist. Hoodlums is almost too respectable for the gangsters but thats the very nice way they have of putting it. The grand jury is to investigate. The state will itnark scenes of automobile fatalities with white crosses, similar to those used in Ohio. The first are to be erected on Emerson avenue. Indianapolis, where twefityone people met death a few months ago. The croses, It is hoped, will cause motorists to drive more carefully and to watch the railroad crossings. Mr. Hoover didn’t fare so well in the primaries held in Illinois, Nebraska. Idaho and Oklahoma, Tuesday. Lowden seems to be the popular republican candidate in most of the west and middle west. It begins to look like a tie-up which is just what the leading politicians desire. Then the matter can be quietly scl-

I tied In a hotel room In a Kansas City’ hotel at two o'clock the morning of the convention opening. — . When Illinois woke up they cer- ’ tainly did slam Governor Small on 11 the chin, lie was defeated in the primary Tuesday nearly two-to-one. ’ Smith, who has been trying for a couple of years to break into the I'uited States senate was also round- * J ly spanked and Crowe who has been ) state attorney in Cook county for > years and thought he was firmly en- ! trenched went down to defeat in the > ) landslide. The indications now are that the president will veto the Jones-Reid flood prevention bill. He favors aid from the states directly benefited but seems to lose sight of the fact that i it a million men were employed at this work, the benefit would immediately extend to every state in the union for It would take care of just that many of the unemployed. Objections are also being offered because speculators have taken options on cer.tain lands along the Mississippi, expecting them to increase in value if the prevention bill pases. An entertainment of more than passing merit will be held at the Decatur high school auditorium next I Tuesday evening. At that time I Meredith Stewart, of Dayton, Ohio, a former Decatur lad, will give a violin I concert, aided by a noted pianist of I Ohio. You will enjoy it we are suie and in patronizing this event you will be encouraging a youth who aspires to recognition in the musical world, i Meredith is planning to attend in Paris and the concert here is one’ of a series from which he hopes to secure sufficient funds with which to ! meet the expense. The auditorium should be crowded for the occasion, i The democratic state committee doesn't owe a dollar, the first time in 1 twenty years, jt is announced from i Indianapolis, a record for which It. I Earl Peters, the state chairman, de- I serves much credit. Its a big job to operate political headquarters and it ; costs considerable money. When Mr. Peters assumed the position as the i head of the party organization, there . was a total debt of several thousand i dollars. Every penny of this has been paid off and work lias now started on a legitimate fund with which ’to meet expenses as they come up during the next few months. George Remus, Cincinnati wife slayer must remain in the insane asylum iat Lima for a while any way. The I supreme court of that state has held ( that he be held there until they have ; reviewed the case which Was been i appealed to them. Remus was found not guilty on the sole gfVtunds of insanity a few weeks ago and remanded to the asylum. Then the district court of appeals at Lima held he was sane and this would have released The Preference of Radio Experts RCA Radiotrons are recognized by experts as the jtatidard of performance in broadcast reception.
