Call us by telephone and give us the items of local interest in your neighborhood. Five federal attorneys have been sent to Chicago to assist in making the town dry. a job which most folks won't envy. Lloyd George proposes to proviue work for the unemployment of Great Britain by placing them on the government pay roil. Somewhat like we have it in Indiana perhaps. What a tough break for those two bootleggers captured at Woodburn the other day. Officers were hunting the Linn Grove bank robbers and the rum runners thought they were after them, finally giving up the chase. It will be necessary to stop the paper of those who receive the Daily Democrat by mail unless subscriptions are paid within the next couple of weeks. We are hoping we won't have to drop & single one. Mr. Voldstead is probably glad that he is being forgotten in the tirades now heaped on Senator Jones of Oregon whose new bill increasing the punishment for boltleggers has sidetracked attention from the original author. You will soon know what team is champions of basketball in the Indiana high school organization but there are some eight hundred teams which will refuse to believe it was all together skill. Luck does play a rather important part in this very popular game, as it does in all sports. The Hood stories from the south are very similar to those of a year ago, when much was promised and little done to prevent a return of tin? death-dealing waves. Surely some actual steps to prevent death and disaster in the regions tributary to the Mississippi will be taken soon. Don't park double. Its a violation of the city ordinances and is very dangerous to occupants of your car and ,o those in other cars which must use the streets. The season is just opening and its a mighty good time for every driver to adopt a code of his own which conforms with the ordinances. Niagara Falls is planning a Fourth of July celebration that ought to make business good for the pop stands and ice cream cone dealers of that section. It is announced three months in advance, so you can plan to attend, that a man named Lussier, will crawl into a big ball he has invented for the feat and permit himself to be shoved over the falls. It may attract you but we admit we can't get much thrill out of such fool hardy adventures, done solely to secure publicity. Telephone in local items of interest. Call 1,000 or 1,001 and help us publish a column or two of personal items. In the old days the reporter could find out what was going on by making the trains and interurban cars bul in these days of rush and autos, we have no way of getting the news unless you aid by calling us Help us out on this and we are sure you will enjoy the feature of a column or two of locals as much as any one.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Knoxville. Tenn. —(UP)-Splll-Ing the beans almost cost Carlton Harris a divorce His wife charged he spilled beans on the table colth after he had had one drink. Harris skid "Sober men spill the beans sometimes." The suit was dismissed. Senator Gottschalk is exactly right in his opinion that if we Insist on spending so much money we must devise means of taxation other than property and personal tax, but after all its taxes whether we pay it in fees, licenses or straight out and some day we hope as does the senator that a legislature will take the position of reducing overhead to avoid a lot of extra fund raising. Governor Leslie is swinging his political ax and as a result a number of Jackson-Coffin-Stephenson appointees are lociug out. Their places are being tilled by those w«io were friendly to the new governor or towards whom he is inclined for one reason or another. He has that right, In fact not to surround himself by those in whom he has confidence and those who at least will be fair towards him, woui 1 be the surest sign of a poor administration. - I Writers declare that President j Hoover has a firm hand on the na-1 (ton's helm but he hasn't tried to I steer his ship of state through the | seas of congress. Wait until he goes through a few of those storms before you decide he is a regular Christopher Columbus. We hope he is the leader predicted and perhaps he is but claiming that, after a ten days trial may be just a little premature. Making a few appointments and reorganizing the busitiess need of the official family in the White House is scarcely a , fair test. _ E. G. Hoffman, cue of the leading ' bankers of Ft. Wayne and a very busy gentleman, took time out last night to come to Decatur to address the Men's Club of the Presbyterian church, in a plea that business and professional men give of their time and their earnings to support the church which lias meant so much for civilization the past several hundred years. His address was broad and fair and strong in argument, supported by facts and figures which are indisputable. Mr. Hoffman believes that no difference how busy we are, we should take time to work for that which is the very body of civilization, which he declared the church is. He said too many are trying to ride through life on a free pass without l>aying their way or assisting in the work and in that there is much truth. Indiana will have no enforced campaign this year against the European corn borer. This decision has been reached after a conference with entomoyogists and other state officials in Ohio and Michigan, where the coin borer has done extensive damage. Nor will Michigan and Ohio have such a campaign. Quarantine will be maintained in the infested regions and green corn can not be removed from such territory. If the borer is fought it will be by farmers acting for themselves. Though Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist, took many farmers to the infested regions of Canada and showed them what damage the borer will do, objections to the cleanup persisted as they did in Michigan and Ohio. One farmer said: “We'll clean up if we don't have to, but if we have to we won't clean up.” If the farmers neglect their fields the borer doubtless will take a long step westward and the Illinois agricultural department is sending warning bulletins to farmers. Parasites that destroy the borer are in process of development, but this operation is slow. A few days ago a consignment of ladybugs was shipped from Colorado to Texas, to war on onion thrips. Northern Indiana is calling for help in a fight to be made against the onion maggot. This state has ranked first or second for several years in the production of onions and last year's crop of 4,600 cars was valued at $5,500,000. Failure to destroy pests means much destruction of crops.— Indianapolis News.
