The cyclone In January is not a very good indication for the year unless it is the intentions of getting this part of the spring program over early. It is said the new sltl,ttOO bill is a work of art but it is not likely that many folks will be so wikPabout them that they will frame them and hang them around the house. Some gink who doesn’t need it has bought a seat on the New York stock exchange for the new high record of $620,000. Probably wants the thrill of making a few honest millions. The weather men in predicting frequent changes in the temperature are , not showing any particular wisdom. Most any one who has lived in tills section fifty years would feel reasonably safe in suc h a guess. We insist that the legislature will make a bigger hit with the people if they will devote more time to money saving than they do to trying to discover some new method of taxation for under any other name it will be just as objectionable. Perhaps the fact that the democrats of Indiana have taken a stand t against the repeal of the primary law will cause the republican majority to I do that very thing. Then the people , may have their say if they know how and work at doing it long enough. Governor Leslie has cut out the state sales agent, a job that never was necessary and just a nuisance. There are several other political snaps around the state house that an be dispensed with and the public be just as well served. Mr. Hoover is trying to keep party harmony while lie dishes out the federal patronage and says he cannot understand why the boys make such a fuss over these jobs. Yet he should remember that lie worked rather hard for several months to secure a political job and one too that ten million other fellows would be glad to have. Jack Dempsey proposes to follow in the footsteps of Tex Rickard but to meet with his success he must find another Dempsey. He will find that promoting his own game with himself as one of the principals will not catch as many suckers as it did when Tex could make the public believe that Jack was mad enough at some other bruiser to knock his head off. Charles Evans Hughes has declined the post as secretary of state under President Hoover, it Is announced and it is not surprising. Mr. Hughes, one of the greatest lawyers of America has had about all Hie honors he can receive and there would be no alureinent in a place In the cabinet which he ha>l previously filled with distinction. He has an income from his practise no doubt which is many times the salary of the place offered him and he probably has more comfort. The nation will feel they have lost by his declination. Governor Leslie serves notice on criminals that once convicted they need not expect leniency from him except in extreme cases of ill health

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Madison, 111 — (UP) — Father . David Scully, fiastor of St. Mary’s j Catholic church here led a police , laid on a speakeasy near his parish i school selling llqnur to his school , | boy*. The priest personally smash- - ed Wfi quarts of liquor. or when there Is seme unusual reason. ' He oven refused to retify errors in the i cases of two convicts who had been pardoned by Governor Jackson. One of the men was sent up for bank robbing and the other for robbing a store. The folks will feel relieved at such a stand for there has been to much latitude in freeing men convict- ; ed of serious crimes. A bill has been introduced In the I legislature to establish eastern time for all of Indiana, thus doing away , with the annual attempt to confuse every body by the old daylight saving argument We hope they either pass , that or fix tilings so that every town |, in this section will have the same time for it is certainly a nuisance 1 when a part of them are an hour ahead or behind the others. Daylight saving is alright in the summer but its doubtful if eastern time would be so popular in the winter time when I 1 the early risers would have to wait until eight o’clock for sun-up. Twenty-seven million boys and girls are attending school in this, country and nearly a million are in colleges which is the best answer to those inclined to feel that taxation for ' educational purposes should decrease. ‘ j There is absolutely no chance for i that, nor should there be. The people 1 do not want the money wasted nor do ] they want any thing left undone which t will he of benefit to the children who ' are receiving an education. As time i goes on there will be more schools, .' better ones, more qualified teachers. 1 and more equipment, all of which will ' i cost more money rather than less, j This country will never stop now until I every child who desires to do so can |. secure an education.

Department of Labor. 1 1 The rate last year—sixty-five infant I deaths per 1,000 live births—was the J lowest in the country’s history. Lest i we relax our efforts, however, Miss ' Abbott points out, as the Chicago Eve- j ( nllig Post quotes her, that no state in I < the Union has yet succeeded in getting ] the rate as low as New Zealand, < where it is only 39 per 1,000. The best ' record is held by Oregon, with a rate < of forty-eight. Idaho and Washing- ’ ton are tied for second, witii fifty, and i Nebraska, Minnesota, .Utah, lowa,' 1 Kansas, New York, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Connecticut follow in the order named. The lowering of the rate, Miss Abbott reports, is "unquestionably associated with the general improvement in public health, the establishment of child-health conferences, the development of prenatal clinics, the distribution of literature, and public education.” in i ■■ ,1 Ml — Q - - 1 111,1 “ **««***e*«««» * TWENTY YEARS AGO • * From the Deify Democrat Filo • * Twenty Yeare Ago Today • *♦¥¥¥**»«•♦»* Jan. 21 Harry Welter f the Cloverleaf here today and made the regular promise of a new SIO,OOO depot.

Jan. 14, '29 Daily Democrat: 1 thought maybe some of my friends in Decatur would like to read some news from the state of Colorado. I am spending a few days with Minnie Hobo Eson. She has a lovely home here in Littleton, upon a hill overlooking the town. And oh such a wonderful view of the mountains from her sun parlor. She is still carrying on the drug store business. She and her son Donnld are just doing fine. Minnie has invited Laura Jelleff Breckenridge over to spend the day. She lives in Denver, and 1 am going back with her for a little visit, and from there to Lincoln, Ne-

braska. We have been "reminiscing ' so much that I think our jaws will need lubricating, but we are having a good time. This Is the week of the Denver Stock Show ami they have made great preparations for it. The weather is ideal. I came away from Marion expecting to stay about five days, and have been gone six weeks. No telling what "young folks” like myself will do. With best regards. 1 remain Aunt Jennie or Jennie Furman.

year is now well begun witii The World Almanac for 1929 out and in hand. This is the 44th annual issue by The World and the seventh edited by Robert Hunt Lyman. It grows better every year and is more heartily welcomed.

It also prints a summary of the Volstead Act and Government officials have supplied it with their figures showing how it has been enforced. It tells what the peace pact of Paris is, and why this country is interested in naval disarmament. Tlie Government figures, rosters and articles have been revised by Government officials, and the compact information about the States of the Union and about the foreign countries has been brought up to date. The World Almanac is published by The New York World. Price 60 cents, postpaid. Readers in increasing numbers who keep it year by year on their bookshelves find sl.lO a small price for the clothbound copies. Itx

Stomach Pains and Rheumatism Gone Had 10 Years of Torture, But Made Quick Recovery. Trying to work a farm while crippled with rheumatism and stomach pains was the hard task faced by Mr. Roy Eastes, Andrews, Ind. He teils of his recovery in a letter, as follows: “I suffered agony from rheumatism and severe stomach trouble for 10 long years. The rheumatic pains were so sharp that I could not bend to put on my shoes. I was in such torture the last 3 months that my farm work was neglected. The indigestion was so bad that i had gas, nausea and dizzy spells frequently. I was weak, nervous, sleepless, and just worn out with suffering. But today life looks different to me. My rheumatism scarcely ever bothers me now and my stomach feels fine. I cat hearty meals and they digest without causing gas or distress. The pains and kinks in my back are gone and I can work every day. My new health began the day 1 started taking Viuna, and 1 am surely grateful for the wonderful change this medicine has made in me.” Thousands of hopeless sufferers from kidney trouble, back-ache, stomach trouble and rheumatism, heve been restored to perfect health by this woqder medicine. Why shouldn’t it do as much for you? Try one bottle of Viuna under positive guaranty. $1 at druggists or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.

DESCRIBES BUS TRIP TO COAST Frank McOanuell, well-known wholesale tobacco jobber of Decatur, who recently made a trip from Decatur to Los Angeles via ims, has written a letter to the Dally Democrat, describing tlte overland trip. His letter is us follows: Editor, Daily Democrat. Dear Sir: As I promised to write you. 1 will now make the effort. I had often read about Pkmeers going west overland so I thought I would imitate them ami come overland. I started on the 13th and hereafter I will believe in that old adage “do not commence any thing <.;li the 131 h.” We left Fort Wayne, had a break down before leaching Chicago; arrived there next morning, reached St. lands all O. K . spent one day there. We had the choice of the southern or northern i' ute and 1 had formed the acquaintance of three young fellows and we stuck together all the way, so they said they were going the northern route ami wanted me t > go that way. They said there would be so much more thrill in going to the north. We reached Kansas City all right. Then the thrill commenced. We traveled through miles of water. The country

was covered with water as far as you could see. We reaclter Denver some hours late. We laid over two days In Denver, then left for Cheyenne Wyom lug a very interesting place ami the people very pleasant and hospitable. We left Cheyenne for Salt Lake ( IDThen we -had more thrills. Between Rawlins uml Rack Springs, Wyoming, we encountered 24 Inches of snow extending about 20 miles, we reached Salt Lake City somewhat behind lime, but we found it a very interesting city. I visited all Hie musieums along the way and found Salt Lake City Museum the most interesting tn mo of any. By the way I made the acquaintance of Mr. A.' C. Gillig. Perhaps you will remember him. He delivered the lecture to you Editors at Huntington. He is a devout •Marmon, but a fine fellow. On leaving Silt Lake City, U’« scenery was grand, especially in Ai igona and eastern California. In going around a mountain in Arizona we had to turn and back up as it was boo short a turn to go around with the. I find Calit’-rnia very interesting, temperature very fine, 55 to 68 degrees. I attended the floral parade at Pasadena. It w.js grand, perhaps the best of any of the former ones. This was the 4uth parade. The crowd was estimated at 750,000. 1 hive visited several families, formerly of Decatur. Jerry Coffee has been very p orly on account of the Flu. Well 1 will close, hoping for a pros-
