Better lawns, brighter looking homes, a little landscaping these are the things that make one city look better than another. Some wise guy says "you can’t drink your liquor and have it too." No sir, but you can drink it, have about everything else, including a heck of a lot of trouble. The next big job for this community is to secure the easements on road sixteen between Decatur and the Wells county line. It ought to be easy if enough will help. Herrin. Illinois, is having difficulty finding any one, democrat or republican, who wants to be mayor and we don’t blame them Its about the same kind of a job so far as personal safety is concerned, as being president of Mexico. According to the Boston Transcript proposes that Mr. Coolidge be nominated for United States senator and the suggestion is said to have considerable support, but please remember that he still has the right to choose or not to choose. Our “Town Talk" column continues to be popular anti each day we have new members to the local club. All you have to do to join is to call us and give us an item or two. That makes it a better feature and pleases every reader and every one of our force. We must spend money to make money. Thais the rule now, always has been and probably always will be. Its as true for men of small means as of millionaires and its as true of communities as it is of individuals. When you spend money to make your city a better place in which to live you are making a wise investment. Some one sent Governor Roosevelt a bomb. It was discovered by a porter. An hour later the hundred thousand dollar home of the governor's daughter was destroyed by an incendiary fire. Looks as though they are fully determined that democrats cannot hold state and federal offices and what ought to be found out is who “they" are. President Hoover shook hands with about 1,800 people the other afternoon and they had to call a physician to take care of his good old right. While he is “cutting out” numerous old fashioned rules, we don’t believe he would lose a vote by including one which permitted him to attend to real buesiness instead of gratifying the sight-seeing folks. Decatur is in a splendid condition financially and every other way. Com pare the reports here to those of oth er cities this size and see it you art displeased. The city administratior is responsible for much of the favor able results we have seen and then are numerous reasons why we shoult make sore of continuing to go for ward the next four years.

There is nothing that can be done except to keep on advising the greatest care iu everyway. Harry Sinclair must serve the ninety days sentence imposed upon him for refusal to answer the questions of the senate committee which investigated the now famous Teapot Dome matter. Its hard lines but it establishes the right of the senate investigations to ask questions and recieve answers as does any other court and that's some headway. This community extends a sincere and hearty welcome to Rev. and Mrs. Stoakes, happy that they have been assigned by the Methodist conference to have charge of the Decatur church for another year. During their two years here they have made hosts of friends because of their many splendid qualities. It is good news that they are to continue as citizens of this community and we predict for them a very successful year. The fact remains that the newlyorganized state highway commission will have forty or fifty million dollars to spend during the next two years. Thats a big responsibility and the more the commission takes the public into their confidence, the more they show them they are trying to give them adollars worth of road and maintainence for every dollar of the taxpayers money taken, the easier it will be and the more satisfactory the results. If they do that, the people won’t care much what the names of the commissioners or officials are. *•«.***•«**«•« ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO * ♦ From ths Dally Democrat File • ♦ Twenty Years Ago Today • *•«****•«•••* April 9 —Plans made to finance building of new Evangelical church here within next few years.

COTTON LOSING TEXAS GROUND Austin, Tex., April 9 —(UP)—An en-j than 12,000,000 acres are in rebellion against King Cotton in Texas this year. Figures gathered by 11. H. Schultz, federal statistician here, show that Texas farmers plan to plant 12.- j 423,000 acres in crops other than cotton. I If the farmers carry out expressed intentions, airplane travelers over Texas will look down upon 4,297,000 , acres of waving corn; 2,815,000 acres I of grain sorghums; 2.576,000 acres of winter wheat; 1.472,000 acres of oats; 179,000 acres of barley; 605,000 acres of tame hay; 114,000 acres of sweet potatoes; 160,000 acres of peanuts; 157,000 acres of rice and 15,000 acres of rye. Becase of a law prohibiting reports on prospective cotton acreage, Schultz issued no figures on how much Texas soil will remain loyal to King Cotton. o MONROE NEWS S. A.

"CUT HAIR OFF" IS LAST WORD FROM ANTOINE Noted Parisian Hairdresser Says Long Tresses Are Gone Forever By Princess Ali Fazil (United Press Staff Correspondent) Paris, Apr. 9— (UP) — Hesitate no longer; cut off yUur hair again if you have been letting it grow, for Antoine says so, and Antoine knows, for as every smart woman knows, Antoine is the Rembrandt of hair-dressing. "Hair must remain short” Antoine dictates, and the news is flashed around the world. You can be certain . hair will remain short, for Antoine's j word is final, since he is undisputed | czar of the nobility of the scissors and I curling irons. Antoine is now inspiring himself ■ from the ancient hair-dressing of the ' Romms and Greeks, and you and I can expect to have our ,shingled heads look as near like our ancestors of the pre-Christian era as it is possible for a modern artist to copy. There was a short of movement to dethrone Antoine, and to let the hair , grow long again, but American women backed him spp-ndiijly, along wi‘h their French cousins and so Antoine is firm on his throne and we can quit worrying for another year as to whether we must pass through that stage of hair-growing when the hair is neither long nor short. Even if he were not the best known hair-dresser in the world, Antoine could still be famous as the only coifeur ever to own a chateau, ride his i own hunters, design his own automo--1 biles and build his own tomb. Although thinking in terms of tombs Antoine is very much alive. Every day he tinkers with hair on wax heads, trying for inspiration. It is ait which enables him to acI centuate each woman’s character and i personally by the manner he arranges her curls or sets the hair. Antoine has abolished those battalions of waves in regular unbroken lines which could be seen on any head. His psychology

of women makes him create a different coiffure for every head. His salons have nothing of the palatial appearances of modern hair-dres-seis. Simplicity and harmony of lines in black and white surroundings enhance the beauty of women who go there. No social salon has ever seen such a variety an ddisplay of titled ! women, world renowned artists and society leade: s all of them subdued toI Antoine decrees. Woman's Independence “Hair still remains short because I feel an era approaching where woman's independence will refuse anything which will prevent her freedom of movements. Before her aim was seekking perpetual admiration from men. Now she has a world of, her own and is like a star which detaches itself from another planet, “Modern woman has inherited all of man’s independence and modern life conditions encourage her audacity, I can better imagine women dressing as men in future ages than ever going back to long hair. “Two styles of hair-dressing are required nowadays, one for sport life and the other more complicated and adapted to evening dress. Evening coifures demand fore originality, combinations of color and shape must be sought, keeping always in mind that ornamentation nedds a great care not to be heavy. Curls althernatlng with smooth hair gives very pretty results. I increase or decrease the number of curls according to the head withAvhich 1 am dealing, and that is the secret of my creations. “The permanent wave is a great help to me because it allows the neglige allure tor the day and can be beau-
