Evidently tlie Baumcs law didn’t work as per-' fectly as predicted. With tax paying, the filing of the mortgage exemption and the primaries 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. i 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 select-■ cd for with such a field of candidates,,, we cannot sec how it can be oth3r-1 wise. It never pays to buy from pedlers. You know nothing about them or I their goods and you have no come-1 back if they cheat you. If the gang selling linoleum comes to your place, chase 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. By 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 TiTs car and go to the polls and ' back in a few minutes, the loss of ; time ought not io be much of an argument for not aiding in the selection of the candidates. Tills country seems to bo in line for tiic medal as the thriftiest in the i world. There'is a total of twenty-six-' billion dollars in the thrift savings accounts in tlie banks of America. I Notwifhsanding all the talk that wo arc throwing our money away, some of the folks seem to be laying aside a few dollars for that rainy day that! we have been taught is bound to : come to the average citizen. Senator Norris, of Nebraska, a candidate for the republican nomination for president is no spendthrift what- . ever else Im may be. Testifying be-! fore till- senate committee yesterday he declared he )»s spent but six dollars in his campaign so far and that was for an unauthorized advertisement. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, has spent $11,163 and expects to win. Os course they haven't got to the good ones yet. The Nat'- • I City bank of New York has us loaned a million dollars to deserving poor people, without collateral and their action has caused a reign of consternation akin to terror for the loan sharks of that city.

'Eastern banks, especially those In 'the great cities are filled with money. lit Is claimed, but any way the dis- ] trlbution of this cash has done a great (good. Put a white mark down for ,’ the National City. t — xj... Tlie Watson-Hoover battle may not "• | be of as much Interest to those who are watching the results 1n the county and state but it will attract the atJ tention of millions over the country. 0 I The eyes of the nation are upon Indi--5 ana today and there will be many ? editorials on the result in the greatj fest papers of the country. Watson is ) 1 a clever politician of the old school while Hoover is very much a man of the world and each has powerful bucking. Quite a "number of folks who prefer, not to go to the polls as well as those ] who had to leave the city or are too 'ill to go out, missed the absent voters ballot today. The law permitting Indiana voters to cast an absent voters ’ ballot was passed by the legislature in 1917 and was being used more ex- : tensively each year until the last legislature when it 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 tlie best wisiies of their Decatur friends, who know they will succeed ' 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 I the Decatur Journal and under whom ' the editor of the Daily Democrat ’’stuck'' his first type. He was a man of splendid ability and fine perI sonality, a newspaper man of the old days when many subscribers paid ... their subscription with a load of wood, if they paid it at all, and wli'-n I friendships were deep and lasting. Mr. Moffett never forgot his Adams t county friends and enjoyed nothing i ' 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 but no difference how many warnings are 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 accidents. We have’ come to the conclusion that no differ- . ence how careful you are you can i still be a little more so and play it j safe. ****¥*>!•****«* * BIG FEATURES * • OF RADIO * B*¥¥*»#*****B TUESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAK— Hookup 7:05 Evcrreudy hour ■ WOR—Newark 6 pm — Main street Sketches. j WRVA-Richmond 7:15 pm Festival chorus, 1,000 voices, j WJZ —Hookup 8 pm The Continental® WJZ -Hookup 7 pm Rhythmic ripples WEDNESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES : Wl’tl —Allantic City 6:15 pm.
