An Indianapolis man swallowed a tack while putting up a window screen. Uy gosh, spring is here. Bad weather over the week ends Is causing President Hoover continued postponements of his favorite sport, fishing. He may have to install a * hobby horse or something else that is not affected by the outside conditions. • . 1 The pardon board has refused * clemency to the nineteen year-old girl who forged a check for three dollars and returned all of the money but twenty cents. If it had been millions what would have been the result? They want Secretary Mellon to resign as head of the U. S. treasury but it seems to bother every one else • more than it does the seventy-foiir- ■ year old billionaire, but then with a bank roll like that who would care if he lost a little old $12,000 job? A committee has been named to secure the easements on the road from this city west to the Wells county line and they will get busy at once. Your cooperation and assistance is requested. Mr. Ixiwer is chairman of the committee and will pusn the work along as rapidly as possible. Spring seems to have arrived and its time to clean up the yard. Get the rubbish in a pile and then place it in boxes or barrels or better yet, have it hauled away. We presume the usual clean-up week will be held but if each property owner takes care of the job, it will make that event easier for every one and will be better all the way around. The daylight saving question is up for its annual discussion with boosters for and against it. We hope some day that it can all be worked out so that every town in the middle west has the same kind of time, but they don’t seem to make much headway. We will be glad to publish the opinion of those who are interested on either side. Send them in. Contracts for beet acreage came in better this week and there is a splendid chance to secure the amount de- • sired if the factory here is to be oper- - ated next fall and winter. The next week or two will be seriously import- " ant for this locality and we sincerely “ hope that all who can possibly do sc “ will raise beets We believe it will produce you a profit and we are sure Its a great thing for every one con- - cerned ■w? !— The federal reserve board is getting * hot under the co’lar and has notified * Wall street that unless they behave some additional steps to check them • may be taken. There is no doubt that MB “ the stock exchanges have become so - popular that their transactions have M - affected many other lines of business, which of course means a fight is on ' for as long as easy money can be made on the street there are a lot of folks who will prefer it to other, means of securing an income. iLi At a meeting of the Decatur Industrial Association to be held Monday evening, April 15th, a straw vote will be taken on the proposed daylight savings question. If you are tor it or against it. go and cast your vote, so that the directors may know what

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Lynn. Mass. -*(UP)—A restaurant proprietor cortplanled to police here that high sclool girls were coming to his case every dav at noon and bringing their own 1 lunches, a practice which he declared in restraint of trade. , the predominate feeling here Is. The J result will have much to do with * action by the city council later. If , there is a decided majority one way 1 or the other, that will very probably , decide the matter. Are you interested? Then attend the meeting which will be public and express yourself by casting a ballot. , We congratulate the employes of the Decatur branch of the General Electric company for having won the award for the best divisional record of all the plants on acc’dent prevention. It is a worth while accomplishment that during the entire year ot 1928 but two employes of the local plant were off duty because of injury more than twenty-four hours. There is nothing more important than good health and it is to the interest of every employe of the G. E. as well as in every factory or shop that "safety first" be made a slogan. The G. E. is going along nicely here, with an output of 11,000 motors per week and the future looking very bright indeed. One of the greatest business honors in America is that earned by Gordon S. Rentschler, of Hamilton. Ohio, one of the owners of the Decatur Castings Company and known here. He has been elected president of the National City Bank of New York, one of. if not the largest hank in America, and he has been chosen for the important post because of his great ability, demonstrated in his services during the past six years, since he became associated with that institution. He was a member of the conservency commission which did such wonderful work with the Miami Valley improvement, following the great flood some years ago and while disposing of the bond issue to meet that work came in contact with the men interested in the great bank. They discovered his ability and began using him. Making good at every task he arose to the head of the institution where he will continue to solve the problems and to lead. We congratulate him most sincerely. o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q. May employees send cards or in any way remember their employer on holidays or anniversaries? A.

"I’m under arrest," announced a dreamy - looking individual who ap--1 peared before a police sergeant’s desk. What’s the charge?" inquired the officer. reaching for the book. “Drunk," volunteered the visitor, giving his name and lodging-house address. “1 think you’ll find Cell No. 5 the most comfortable,” the sergeant advised as the obliging inebriate staggered toward the tier. , — o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Payr

NOTES -byROBERT HELLER Miss Catherine Martin, art instructcr, was in charge of the chapel program Friday. She invited a friend, Mrs. R. C. Hosterman, of Charleston, West Virginia, and a daughter of Rev. and Mrs. M. W. Sunderman of this city, to exhibit some of her plaques and tell how she made them. The first was a portrait, of a young boy, whom she had moulded without his knowledge. The first step necessary is to transform the likeness to clay mixed with oil. Over this is poured a mixture of plaster which when It hardens is called the negative or mould. The final plaque is prepared from this by pouring the final plaster or bronze in this. After drying a week a coating of buttermilk is given the plaster .to give it the typical yellow color. _

NAVAL BATTLE OF FUTURE TO FIGURE IN AIR' 1 Development Os Aviation f Outstanding Development “ Since Close of VV ar Washington, April 6 —(UP) —Should f the dogs ot war bark again in u great I International conflict. Involving the ’ United States, the navy like its sister ( service, the army, will depend to a great extent upon the newest fighting ( craft—the airplane. In fact, aviation development is the { outstanding step taken by the navy since the World War. Battleships are f practically the same as in 1918. Gull . elevations have been Increased on ( some, viving a range of approximately ( 18 miles, but otherwise the larger fighting ships have not been improved f in the past 10 years. f “Outside of the 10,000-ton cruisers, . our aircraft carriers—the newest arm . of the navy —are the only outstanding developments since the war,” Admiral Charlcn F Hughes, dhief of naval llij l.jlil r -•- with eight-inch guns and txres... i ' packed between their steel slujl ■ "’""lleBt convoy ships and commci.. raiders but are unable to stand up under heavy cannonading because of their light armor plating, it was pointed out. Plan of Battle If another war comes and finds the I American navy battling the fleet of another power —then on the outskirts of the firing line, out of range of the < heavy guns, will be seen awkward T appearing ships, flat decked and with funnels awry. From these ships will fly speedy airplanes, bomb loaded and with spitting machine guns. J Tlie planes will be able to fly 100 or 200 miles to the scene of battle, drop their high explosive bombs and fly back again for another load. If the United States is to fight another great naval battle hovering high above the wallowing, steel battleships like birds of prey will be from 80 to 160 airplanes. And each plane will carry sufficient j bombs to sink a battleship— If the I bombs hit in the right place. , A picture of a naval encounter of I the future would present a thrilling | yet awesome spectatcle— speedy des- I troyers churning the seas in the fore- I ground, light cruisers spending forth > their eight-inch missiles of death, sub- I marines lurking under the surface | with only an occasional feather of t left by a protruding periscope, board-1 girthed battleships, almost out of i 5 sight in the rear, belching forth broad-' sides of 16-inch shells weighing nearly | ! a ton. and over ail, darting fast-flying ! airplanes. Necessity of Air Power A naval battle of the future would probably bring a battle in the air more thrilling than the slower moving • encounter below—heavy bombers, pro- | tected by fast pursuit planes, fighting their way through enemy planes to loosen their loads of high evplosive —daring attack planes, scooping low and raking the decks of the enemy ships<— droning observation planes 1 checking up on gun fire and radioing I increase or decreased ranges- ’ It would not be difficult to conceive an air battle over the seas so spectacular that even the fighting ships might halt for a brief moment to watch. Battleships, cruisers and submarines are needed, armies are essential hut power which holds supremacy of the air Is the power which will win the next war appears to be the consensus in i'll branches of the service—even among those of the old school who believed in the might ot the battleship < and the hitting power of a massed . infantry attack. ' ———— —o—— — in the Ring Some of Us are putting up a good fight; others confronted with imaginary difficult les nre spending their time shadow boxing.

• By Keith Jones (United Press Staff Correspondent) Ixmdon, April 6— (UP)-Thls is a tale for the tired business man! Picture a beautiful Island-state of 120 persons, a climate that knows not frost or sunstroke, a common income, generously shared according to age—and only one month’s work a year for adults. The Island actually "exists and is known as Lord Howe Island, 300 miles from the coast of New South Wales. It Is vividly described by Dr. DarnellSmith, Director of the Botonical Gardens, of Sydney. Australia, in an article in the "Kew Bulletin,” the official publication of the Kew Botanical Gardens, Ixmdon. “Through the benevolence of nature” writes Dr. Darnell smith, "these fortunate islanders are assured of a most comfortable existence in one of in one of the most beautiful islands In the world at a minimum expenditure of their time in earning their income.” The income of the island, he goes on to say, is derived wholly from the sale of the seed of the beautiful Ken-
