Call 1,000. A gain of twenty-five per cent in crime in New York City makes us ' wonder if they are trying to take that | belt away from Chicago. Evidently, Hie Baumes law didn’t work as per-' fectly as predicted. With tax paying, the ‘filing of the mortgage exemption and the pri- • maries out of the way we can turn . our attention to garden making, beautifying the lawn, finishing house . cleaning, corn planting. Old Home Week and a few other things that . have been more or less neglected. The primary is closing and the results will soon be known. So far as we know it has been a clean, orderly and well conducted campaign, each , candidate playing an "above board” game. Whatever the results we are sure a splendid ticket will be selected for with such a field of candidatewi we cannot sec how it can be otherwise. — - — -— ■ It never pays to buy from pcdlers. You know nothing about them or' their goods and you have no comeback if they cheat you. If the gang selling linoleum comes to your place, <hase them off. You can buy this and other merchandise in the Decatur stores for less money and with a guarantee back of the deal. Thats the only way to trade after all —with your home merchant. It was a dandy election day, with blue skies and the odor of spring in the air. fly some it is argued that this will mean a light vote in the country as the farmers are busy, but in this age when the farmer can jump in fiTs car and go to the polls and back in a few minutes, the loss of time ought not to be much of an argument for not aiding in the selection Os the candidates. This country seems to be in line for the medal as the thriftiest in the world. There is a total of twenty-six' billion dollars in the thrift savings accounts in the banks of America. Notwithstanding all the talk that wo are throwing our money away, some of the folks seem to be laying aside a few dollars for that rainy day that yje have been taught is bound to come to the average citizen. 11,1 Senator Norris, of Nebraska, a candidate for llm republican nominat ion ! for president is no spendthrift whatever else he may be. Testifying before the senate committee yesterday lie declared lie has spent but six dollars in his campaign so far and that was for an unauthorized advertisement. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, has spent $11,468 and expects to win. Os course they haven’t got to the good ones yet, The National City bank of New York has loaded a million dollars in deserving poor people, without collateral and their action has caused a reigu of eousteruation akin to terror for tho loan sharks of that city.

~JCaatern banks, especially those in the great cities arc filled With money, it la claimed, but any way the dis- | trlbutfon of this cash has done a great good. Put a white mark down for ' i the National City. The Watson-Hoover battle may not 1 1 be of as much interest to those who ' are watching the results 1n the county and slate but it will attract the at- , teution of millions over the country, j The eyes of the nation are upon Indiana today and there will bo many j editorials on the result in the greatest papers of the country. Watson is I a clever politician of the old school i while Hoover is very much a man of tho world and each has powerful ' backing. Quite a number of folks who prefer not to go to the polls as well as those who had to leave the city or aro too ill to go out, missed the absent voters ballot today. The law permitting Indiana voters to cast an absent voters I ballot was passed by the legislature i in 1917 and was being used more exi tensively each year until the last legislature when ft was repealed. Also It might be added that it was being used very unfairly in many of the larger cities. Rev. Ralph Loose, for five years pastor of the Evangelical church of this city, has been transferred to one .of the leading churches In Louisville. Kentucky. The many people here who have learned to love and admire Rev. and Mrs. Loose for their untiring efforts for the church and for good will regret their leaving this city. However, the Loose's will go, to their new home in Kentucky with the best wishes of their Decatur I friends, who know they will succeed j there as they have here. We learn with regret of the death of an old friend and employer, E. D. . Moffett, who forty years ago edited the Decatur Journal and under whom the editor of the Daily Democrat I "stuck’’ his first type. He was a man of splendid ability and fine personality, a newspaper man of the old days when many subscribers paid i 4 their subscription with a load of; wood, if they paid it at all, and when i friendships were deep and lasting, j Mr. Moffett never forgot his Adams county friends and enjoyed nothing more than hearing from them. A half dozen people were killed in automobile accidents in this state over the week-end and a thousand were injured, which ought to be a good start for the season. Its funny j but no difference how many warnings I aro issued, those who drive cars seem to think they are meant for the others and that they bear some kind of a charmed existence whereby they will not have accid-nts. We have come to the conclusion that no difference how careful you are you can still be a little more so and play it sate. *«¥¥¥¥>>>¥¥¥¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * B¥¥¥¥¥¥¥»¥¥¥s?

THREE YEARS OF SUFFERING ENDED SY NEW KONJOLA “It Reached The Source Os All My Health Troubles,” Declared This Man mUH WILEY "The way (Konjola reached the source of all health troubles was really surprising.” said Mr. Shelby Wiley, of ChrystaT Lake, 111. (near | Elgin). "My whole system was rundown but neuritis wax my worst I trouble. My arms, shoulders and I neck were so filled with pui.'ilt that I tcould hardly move them. It whs impossible for me to get more than a few hours sleep at night and I was I always worn-out when I got up in the morning. "As isoon as 1 started taking Konjoin I knew it was the medicine I had always needed. It brought new feel‘lngs of health over my whole body and by the time I had finished the treatment every ache and pain had disappeared. Now I am never bothered with neuritis. My sleep is sound and restful and I get up in the morning feeling refreshed and full of energy. Konjola also strengthened my nerves, gave mo a better appetite and built up my system in general, f am glad to indorse this medicine to-anyone who suffers.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at. Smith, Yager <sc Falk’s drug store, and by all : the best druggtsta throughout this entire section.
