' Cheer up, keep smiling, work a - little harder, every thing is sure to come out alright after a while. , • A Chicago man has filed suit in court asking that an injunction secured by his wife to prevent him semiring her flowers and candies, be set aside. Perhaps if he had been as at- ' tentive to her before their separation as he wants to be now, he would have had no cause for court action. A Portland man is opposing the improvement of a street near his garage because he finds the rough • bricks a tine place for testing cars after he has repaired them. Thais a new one and the courts will probably not hold that the public must furnish him such a “testing ground.'’ Filling station bandits will do well to steer clear of Clyde Fugate who operates a station on Adams and Thirteenth and lives across the street. He is neither afraid or slow as was _ proven when he captured a gasoline thief after firing several shots so , close to his heels that he knew it was safer to give up. It seems to be the proper does for such lawless night prowlers. Tile big (1. O. P. state show opens < in Indianapolis tomorrow and there , will be some stiff side swipes and j I upper cuts if the advance announce-! meats mean any thing. Apparently ! there is much bad blood among the leaders and they have reached the point where they are willing to "bust" tilings and take their play tilings and go home, if it doesn't go to suit them. Its about what could be expected after the preliminaries of the past several years. There should be a lot of satisfaction for every one in the fact that the outlook for a bountiful crop this year, is the best we have seen in a long time for this season of the year. After all the only real route to better times is through the farmer. If he has a good season, everybody in this • section will feel it next autumn. And if he don't have it we will feel it , also. Here's hoping every farmer has the best crop he ever had and gets the highest prices for his products. They are talking a Republican ticket composed of Coolidge and Hoover but its just talk and you can bet your last little red cent on it. They even go so far as to intimate • that there is an agreement between ♦ the president and Mr. Hoover that he will only serve such part of the new administration as will make him eight full years and will then resign. Thats a lot of schoolboy rubbish. Neither . of the parties would consent to such an arrangement for a moment and how far do you think such an alliance would get with the voters? Young man. it may be well for you to know that when you marry, the chances are one to seven the contract won't stick. There were 181.000 di- , vorces in the United States last year and 1,202,000 marriages, and the sad part of it is that in these modern days of flivvers, road houses, dances, cigarettes and green liquor, the odds in favor of divorce, increase. Strange as it may seem the increase is greatest

In staid old Vermont. Os course II you really love her and she cares foi you and you will both follow the old rules of cherishing, you still have , about as good a chance of "living ’. happily ever alter ward” as did your * grand parents. John Burns, one of the young bandits who brutally killed the two , deputy sheriffs who were taking Burns ) and Samuel Jackson to the reform- > atory several months ago, has been j captured. He returned to Lafayette i after a tour of the southwest and was * arrested there yesterday. He claims * he and Baxter separated two months ago afer serving a short term in jail in Oklahoma. Burns lias been taken to the state prison for safe keeping until time for his trial, it being feared 1 that violence would be attempted by tlie people of Lafayette who are in a bad temper over the affair. There should be a prompt trial and a speedy sentence, without any of the sob stuff which so often interferes with justice in such cases. There Is so much truth and so much advice for all of us, no difference in what grade we are passing through, in the school of life, in the sermon delivered by Rev. Fledderjohann to the graduates of the Decatur High School Sunday evening, that everyone should read it and think over it seriously. "The end of education is. that the student shall learn to know God. to know himself and to know his age,” said Rev. Fledderjohann and that applies to ail of us for the end of our education should never come as long as we can "carry one," which means as long as we iiave health and strength and desire and ambition. The sei mon was published in full in last evenings paper and is worth your time. We congratulate Sheriff Holliugs worth upon his nervy and speedy aricst of the criminal who gives his name as Cotie Myers yesterday. He I deserves credit for protecting his own life by shooting the man who was attempting to kill him or to force him out of the way so he could escape in his car. The man had burglarized a house at Monroe and was wearing a suit of clothes he had stolen. The fact that he almost immediately opened lire on the sheriff showed he is a criminal for whom there but little sympathy. Officer Hollingsworth is lucky that he escaped with his life for if the cartridges had exploded he would no doubt have been killed or badly wounded. At any rate "Spot" showed his nerve and performed a real act in arresting the man who had the drop on him and who issued order to “stick 'em up' and proved he meant it by doing every thing he could to get his gun to working. \ —o *****¥<,.**«¥¥* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * h***»**¥¥¥¥¥B TUESDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF—-Hookup 7 pm.

Ira, 111. “The worst thing about my case, ’ was the dreadful indigestion pains i that came over me. 1 couldn't eat a i I meal without suffering. Food always j I caused quantities of gas to form and j j sharp pains around my heart. The i stomach trouble was made all the ! worse by a chronic case of constipation. My nerves were in such a bad shape that I hail nervous prostration i Finally I developed rheumatism in my knees. These ailments made me very discouraged and I thought 1 would never be well again. "When 1 heard about the relief . others were getting by using Konjola .Il decided to give it a trial. Before L j the first bottle was gone I could feel ['an improvement. The stomach trou- > ble soon vanished and I was able to I j eat anything without suffering from . ■ gas or bloating spells. I never suffer . I from indigestion and this medicine i ' has also regulated my bowels and eliminated the poisons from my system. Konjola has strengthened my nerves and I hardly know that I was ever bothered with them. Finally the rheumatism began to ease up and i then it completely disappeared and i now I am in better health than I have j been for many years.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at Smith I Yager & Falk's drug store, and by ; all the best druggists throughout this I entire section.
