We can get along without any more April showers for a few days. Decatur is a fine little city and it should be our united desire and effort to keep it that. We should move ahead a notch or tw.x Don’t let things get draggy. Our industries are running overtime ami there is every reason for you to be optimistic. Step out and do things. Securing beet contracts is the job that every one should have in mind the next week or two. We need two thousand acres yet and the next fewdays will decide whether or not the big mill will operate next fall. It has been a great thing for this community. Don't lose it. Now Is the time to worry agtd not after its too late. Don’t wait for some one to ask you. i start boosting today. Observance of law is urged by the , President of the United States. It s ; a sad day when this is necessary bul , the crime records in the United States far exceed any country in the world and even the President realizes that something must be done and quickly. We border on revolution when bandits ride into a town in their cars with machine guns and sawed off shot guns and commit murder for a few hundred : dollars. Its time to do something. President Hoover is having his first i experience of trying to handle con- ' gross and much depends on whether ■ he is strong enough to do the job. < The senate committee has voted eight to six to retain the debenture plan of , farm relief in its bill, despite the I president's objections. Now its up to the senate and we shall soon know whether they propose to boss or be bossed, either of which is not a good sign. The president and congress should be working harmoniously for the general good of the country. Pennsylvania is urging four lane ; highways, which is quite a jump for even the east. It seems almost impossible out here where we have not even progressed to first class one way I roads, but its coming and coming fast. In a few years you will see many two and four lane roads over the country. With a steady increase in the number of motor vehicles and rapid strides in power, speed and safety manufacturers are building into the car of i today, the problem of wider roads is approaching a crisis. "Build the birdhouse and the birds will come." is an old saying which is more true of human fliers than of the feathered variety. Aviation follows Hie airports like gamblers follow the horses. Commercial air lines establish their terminals in cities offering the best landing fields, hangars and other terminal facilities. It is not enough to pick out. a vacant lot, designate it as an airport and then develop it in an old-fashioned, helter-skelter way. The problems of the airport, whether it be urban, suburban, insular or coastal, are complex, requiring for solution the combined experience ami knowledge of the aeronautical expert, the engineer, the city planner and the architect. The community which overlooks today's great opportunity for providing for air traffic, not only for the future but for the present, will be found in the

same position as those which refused . to encourage the railroad in its pioneer days. Figures of the Indiana Bankers' Association show that since January 8, twelve Hoosier banks have been raided by bandits and the loot from the twelve robberies amounted to $60,In only two of the twelve robberies have the bandits met resistance. One of these was at Farmersburg where the town marshal wounded one of the tour bandits and the other was at Columbia City. Thursday, where one woman was killed and two persons wounded in a gun battle following a hold up. Bandits in two of the twelve holdups have been captured and have been sentenced or are awaiting trial. With arrests made in onlytwo of the twelve cases, the bandits are still several laps ahead of the law O. G. Brown of Greencastle, president of the Indiana Bankers' Association believes Indiana's good roads system is largely responsible for the bandit wave. “Outlaws have discovered that Indiana has not only first class paved highways but excellent secondaryroads which enables them to make a fast get away from the scene of ft holdup,” Mr. Brown is quoted in an interview. This is not taken to mean that Indiana should abolish its good roads in order to stamp out bank banditry. The bankers say they have no proposals for extra ordinary precautions. The baudits have shown they hold no great fears for the vigilante organizations so some method of meeting the bandits at their own game must be devised.—New Castle Courier.

Russia and the United States will attend the three-day conference. Dr. Tage Ellinger, representing the United Stales, said that the corn borer, accidentally carried Into AmerI lea, now threatens the middlewest corn belt. He contended that the problem is one of the most serious facing the world’s agricultural scieutiats. BOOZE MRS OFTEN LEFT

Rouses Point, N. Y., April 23 (UP) —Customs officials stationed along the Canadian bolder, over which a goodly portion of the United Sta*" illegal liquor supply has flowed, are not arresting as many rumrunners since the stringent Jones law went into effect. The Jones law has forced the rumrunners to reverse an unwritten law of their own —that by no means should a bootlegger desert his car’.oad of liquor when he is in dange" of l»e---ing apprehended by officers. “They're deserting their loads.” explained the customs men of this, section in commenting on the fact that they arrest very few rum-runners in comparison with the number of automobiles confiscated. Time was when a rum-runner who deserted his car and cargo was looked upon as a coward. Youthful bootleggers were considered novices by the 1 more experienced until they had at I least been nabbed .once. The Jones law has changed all that. "Whereas in the old days, a driver would take a chance on outdistancing the government patrol cars, their first move today is to jump from their cars at the start of the pursuit. In the deep wood whicli border the majority of the Arirondack highways, we stand a poorchance of spotting them, so we are; content with seizing the car," one of- ■ ficer explained. The officers also report that orders given all federal agents that they must use firearms only in case of self-de-fense or grave emergency, have resulted in unusual boldness on the part i of bootleggers, who realize they are comparatively safe in leaping from' their cars and hiding in the woods.:

‘WHAT A RELIEF TO FIND KONJOLA, MASTER MEDICINE’ “How I Suffered And Sought Relief In Vain,” Declares Well And Happy Lady HH>< \ 4 ■L'K*. 1 MRS. ELMER “What a relief it was, after years of suffering, to find Konjola, the master medicine.’’ said Mrs. Elmer English, 1801 High street. Logansport. “I suffered'and sought in vain for relief from chronic constipation, rheumatism and attacks of neuritis, and all that I got for my efforts was failure and disappointment. And then to think that just one bottle of Konjola was sufficient to reveal to me that at last I had found the key to the door of health. I have not had a return attack of rheumatism or neuritis. Konjola is simply wonderful; I had no Idea there could be such a medicine.’’ Konjola triumphas simply because it is designed to go after causes, not effects. The 32 ingredients of this master medicine —22 ot' them the jipces of roots, and herbs —work together on the ailing organs, yet evfsry ingredient has its own work to’do in cleansing the system, expelling the poisons, stimulating the organs, and making room for that ever welcome tenant — health — uew, abundant and permanent. Konjola is sold in Decatur at the Smith. Yager & Falk drug' store and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.
