Senators Heflin and Watson fell out the other day and came almost telling tilings out loud that were supposed to be confidential. Some folks who have been getting 'up at four o'clock object to daylight saving time because they don’t want to get up at three. The golf season will open here this week and while a week or two later than some places, will give the fans plenty of time to get a good coat of tan. The sport who lies a little about his golf score has one great advantage over the fisherman who exaggerates. He doesn’t have to show anything to prove it. The Maya Indians have taken up * baseball it is reported. How would you like a job as umpire? Taking your scalp there might not be just a ■ play of words. a 11 seems already assured that congress won’t adjourn soon enough to give the solons the opportunity to deliver the home commencement addresses, for which, many will be thankful. The spring hasn't been exactly perfect but there is still the opportunity for a better crop than we have had for several years and that we insist would be the very best relief the ’ farmers could have. Indianapolis is having so much trouble settling the city manager question that we are led to believe there are l some there who don't approve it, others who do and a great many willing to agree to it or oppose it, if by so doing they can land a job. There are indications that Decatur is to get a new postoffice building, a progressive step which will be greatly appreciated. It will add to the appearance of the city,’will, be more convenient to the public and to the employes and vfill put Decatur in a class with other cities this size over the state. June Ist will be the next big trade day advertised by the association but remember that every day is a good day to trade in Decatur where you get more because they have more to offer you. Read the advertisements from day to day in the Daily Democrat and profit thereby. Several local plants are now on daylight saving time, giving employes an opportunity to try it (Ait before thby vote. One of tike worst things about these changes is the fact that part use one time and part the other, which is confusing and a nuisance. We hope that whatever the verdict of the people is at the polls, all will agree to it. Boy's week is on and its up to you fellows who not so old but can remember the old swimmin' hole, the game of rounders, two-o-cat, buck-eye-o and the days of real sport to paj those you know well on the back and be a friend to them. There are many ways you can aid them to be better men and to be closer to you and thats a mighty good thing for the boys and you.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Providence, R I. — (UP)—impatient, Clarence Carlin went to the home of George Toste and demanded payment of s bill. Enraged. Toste bit off (’arlln’s left ear. Sympathetic, a jury awarded Carlin |2,800 damages.

Society folks down in Evansville including Mr. and Mrs. F. Harold Van Orman nad a party Friday evening. one of those kind that starts about midnight and winds up when the ice chest is empty. Two women were shot and the details are somewhat mysterious. Mr. Van Orman was recently lieutenant governor of Indiana and Mrs. Van is now a candidate for mayor of Evansville. Whether the incident will aid or injure her campaign remains to be seen. The tariff and the farm bills are having a stormy time in congress and it looks as though by the time they get through every memlicr can re turn to the people and tell them he voted as he promised. The trouble with this is that the measures if eventually passed will be compromises and probably without any merit worth mentioning. Don’t look to congress for much relief. It doesn't seem possible any more.. it is splendid news to most of the folks around here that there is optimism among those who have been securing beet acreage in this territory because of indications of success. All plants have not done so well and indications are that several mills in the middle west will not operate next year. The efforts in this section have been earnest and those who have devoted so much time and energy to the movement have deserved to win. Now we hope that every one who plants beets will have a record crop | and become annual boosters for i sugar beets. , — City officials of Gallup, N. M., resigned in a body the other day, be cause the district court learned they had been accepting protection money from operators of gambling halls. That sounds like an ordinary story of graft. But there's more to it. it develops that the protection money had been used to improve the city's street and lighting system. It had been most carefully accounted for; uo city official had profited a penny at any stage of the game. And that raises a nice question in ethics. Are these officials to be condemned for taking protection money from the gamblers, or are they to be praised for finding a new source of city revenue which would ease the taxpayers’ burden? Figure it out and see what you think the rights and wrongs of the case were. . o .

Kendallville, Fort Wayne, Chicago, etc., have changed to daylight saving time. Great Britain lias been using daylight saving time for years. For the first time the 20th Century, crack New York Central train, and the Broadway Limited of the Pennsylvania system, will begin running on daylight saving time. The New York Stock Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade as well as banks will observe daylight time. In Ohio due to the demand for daylight saving, the entire state, two years ago, was put on Eastern standard time. Daylight saving changes radio program hours because New York and Chicago, wfn?re a large proportion of 1 the national network of programs originate, use daylight saving time. Florida and California get the winter tourists by advertising their sunshine and the fact that people can play and enjoy their favorite recreations. What does adopting daylight saving time mean to citizens of Decatur? Because many of our industries and tlieir employees have already adopted daylight saving time it means that probably five hundred or more of our Decatur citizens are living their social lives by this time. Imagine the confusion to the housewife who is trying to prepare her meals for members of her family, some of whom are working on standard and others ou daylight savings time. Social funcnions are also interferred with in Decatur because of the same reason. Daylight saving time in Decatur, will give probably three ' hundred merchants, clerks, employees, professional men, etc., who now close at 6 o’clock, an extra hour of daylight for recreation. « Whether your recreation is driving an auto, fishing, gardening, mowing the lawn, playing golf or just sitting on your porch and watching the world go by, you will gain just one hour for that purpose. Children will enjoy an extra hour of daylight and Vhey appreciate it and what is more healthful for them? Daylight saving will save just one hour per day on your electric light bill The city electric department is marking money so they won’t miss it. Decatur has a fine golf course and same will be more appreciated and siippiM'ted when more of our citizens find ft me to enjoy this outdoor recreation. Since > v we must adopt purselves to daylight \ saving ’ time in Decatur whether we wish to or not because of our dealings with the outside cities with whom we do business and to whom vve lot’k for our amusements, ■who use daylight savings time, we contend the confusion will be less if we get In step with them. The vote at 3 recent meeting of the Decatur industrial Association, which is composed pf a represeuta-

tive group of Decatur citizens, was 48 to 28 in favor of daylight savings time. Tlie average farmer will appreciate Decatur stores opening an hour earlier because he works by sun time. With proltably twenty-five to fifty million people in this U. 6. enjoying daylight saving can we in Decatur make a serious mistake by voting for it at the ballot box? We live lr once on this earth so wby not add an extra hour for recreation when we have the opportunity. A Daylight Savings Booster.

I will deeply appreciate your support. 9StlO ’ MRS. ALICE CHRISTEN
