Tliis is tlie season wlisn the asessor wants to know if you have paid the dog tax. Avoid doul>l6parking on Second street on Saturday nights. Traffic jams bring about accidents and then someone is liable. From the strength that Senator Watson shows, the boys have a right to feel worried over his chances of manipulating the presidential nomination at Kansas City next month. One man quit a $15,0<)()-a-year job to help a presidential aspirant, who, if elected, will have ten $15.900-a-year cabinet jobs to give out to the faith-ful.-The Indianapolis News. Let’s strike out and show them that Decatur is alive, make an attempt to do business and turn off-seasons or i slack periods into brisk and profitable ones. The city council will employ a man to take care of Rugg Memorial park and the Legion Memorial park. The lawns will be kept in good shape and the council wants every citizen to feel proud of the city parks. We’Ve been looking for the Bremen flyers for the past 21 hours, but since we haven't seen them take for granted that they got off the track. Anyway Mrs. Lindbergh passed over Decatur. The Third Liberty Loan bonds . amounting to fifty million dollars were ietired yesterday by the federal government, reducing the war debt and saving two and one quarter millions in interest. You know of a former relative or friend who lived in Decatur or Adams county, who would like to be invited to Decatur for the Old Home Week celebration next September. Send ir. the names so the committee can get the invitations ready. Now the republicans are having their troubles in trying to keep Governor Ed Jackson off the list of delegates at-large to the Kansas City convention. Jackson wants to go, feels that he is entitled to be one of the big boys, bul the more decent republicans just haven’t the nerve to let the governor get on the wagon and insist that there is “an unwritten political statute of limitations. Senator Jim Watson gave the boys another wallop yesterday and the blow he struck just about closed the eyes of those opposed to him. He succeeded in electing Elza Rogers of Lebanon, Ninth district chairman, as state chairman. Rogers will succeed Fay Kitelsman of Muncie, who took the job, following Walb’s ousting. Senator Robinson and his clique were backing George Foland of Crown Point, but when Watson and his machine got busy, he ran the steam roller right over the boys and made them like it. Why not go ahead now and nominate Watson for president at the Kansas City convention?

One of the biggest pieces of legislation passed by the national congress in recent years, was the flood relief bill, which was signed by President Coolidge this week. The bill carries with it an expenditure of $325,000,000, which will be spent in purchasing condemned land in the Mississippi valley and the building of dams and other safeguards against floods in the south. The federal government will defray the entire cost of the flood relief measure and the money will be spent over a period of ten years. It will eventually mean the harnessing of the great Mississippi and the eliminating of disastrous floods in the valley, more business for all and a benefit to the entire country. I ,et the work stait at once. Roger Babson, in one of his articles s.tys, “Some of the soundest investments today from a long growth standpoint are to be found among the securities of the great national advertisers who have risen from humble beginnings to their present position of power and profit by the force of tireless publicity. It isn’t that these leaders advertise because they arc big, but rather they are BIG because they advertise." Mr. Babson'goes on to say, ’'Regarding individual men, it has been said that some arc born great and others achieve greatness. Not so with a business. A permanently successful business is never born great, but must achieve greatness—with advertising playing an almost indispensable role." o *¥¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥¥* * THE GREAT WAR * * 10 YEARS AGO ’ —(U.R)— May 17, 1918. —Gun fire incessant as Germans seek weak spot in Allies line.

HALDEMAN PLANS ANOTHER FLIGHT By Jack Cejmir, INS Staff Correspondent Indianapolis, Ind., May 17. —George 1 Haldeman, who, with Ruth Elder, was rescued dramatically from an ocean j grave last summer in their aerial dash | across the Atlantic, lias in mind a ; flight trom Tokio. Japan, to Paris, Fiance, byway of /Maska and Ice- j land, a distance of nearly 12.000 miles. I Haldeman has confided his ambition . to his friends here and lias expressed i the hope that Eddie Stinson, ot !)<■ troit, with whom Haldeman recently I captured the world's endurance flight i record at Jacksonville, Florida, may I accompany him on this trip. As vaguely outlined by Haldeman the flight would start at Tokio,, Japan , and follow the Kurile Islands to Kam | ihataka, acros the Bering Strait to j Alaska, follow the Pacific coast to the northern United States, proceed to Atlantic coast and follow tie- great circle course to Newfoundland, cross the Davis Strait to Greenland, crons the Denmark Strait to Iceland and then hop across the North Atlantic to Scotland, from where it would continue to Paris. The object of tlie flight \ywibl lie to demonstrate the praitihility and safety of aerial transportation between Tokio and Paris it was said. Haldeman arrived in Indianapolis unheralded one day last week in Ids monoplane. He landed at Mars Hill airport and since then has be<> u visiting friends here.

Hi Ail outdoors can’t harm this varnish No single varnish should ' he used for every purpose. For that reason we recommend LOWE BROTHERS NEPTITOFE SPAR VARNISH for all outdoor surfaces — porch ceiling, doors, and the like. Neptunite Spar Varnish has been especially designed for exterior use in resisting the sun, wind, snow, sleet, and rain. For interior use we recommend three other Neptunite V arnishes—one for floors, another for woodwork, and still another for furniture. Neptunite Varnish never turns white —won’t even scratch white.

• - ■■■■lll I I " ■» Outselling All ‘‘fixes’’ jlnationwide acknowledgement of the "Worlds Greatest lvalue A buying preference of enormous proportions lifts the Essex Super-Six far above the crossfire of competitive claims. It is the public itself which says the finest things for Essex. It is outselling all other “Sixes” —in many sections by more than 2 to 1. And, with slight variations, this preference is the nation’s and the world’s. The new Essex Super-Six is a delight to the eye—in lines, in fine exterior appointment and incarefuliinish that invites and repays the Within, this satisfaction to eye and sense is apparent in every detail. Ihe quality of the high-backed, form-fitting seats —richly upholstered—impresses you immediately. At the slender, graceful wheel, you look out over the shining beauty of cowl, hood, saddle-type lamps, heavy, arching fenders, to the winged radiator figure that expresses the spirit and fleetness under your hand. You have before you the handsome grouping of dials and meters upon the beautiful ebony instrument board. Starter and electro-lock are there to your hand, too. Bcndix four-wheel brdjces give smooth positive stopping action and an added sense of greater security. All doors are weatherstripped. The body is of silenced construction, adding to the notably quiet operation of Essex. And then you have the famous Essex chassis, powered with the Super-Six high-compression, high efficiency motor that turns waste heat to power, giving brilliant sustained performance never before known in this field. To see, to examine, to ride in the New Essex Super-Six can bring only one conclusion —it is the World’s Greatest Value—altogether or part by part., ESSEX Sufier-Si* Coach, *735 Sedan (4-Door>, »795 Coupe *745 seat sso All prices f.n.b.

Skin Eruptions successfully treated front within

SKILLED physicians recognize the appearance of pimples, boils and other skin eruptions as being an indication of an abnormal condition of the system. This is why so many thousands have been enabled to free themselves of these unsightly blemishes and painful skin annoyances by taking a course of S.S.S. You owe it to yourself and friends to give S.S.S. a trial. It helps Nature build rich, red blood—those vitalizing elements in the blood that build and sustain the body. In building rich, red blood cells, S.S.S. improves the processes by which the body is nourished. “I suffered from impure blood—was weak, and I had lost so much weight, I didn’t look natural. I had pimples, and was also bothered with a breaking-out that itched terribly. I also had Ivoils one after another. I tried different kinds of remedies, but nothing did me any good until a friend advised me to take S.S.S., which I did. This was some time ago. Now I feel well,
