Powerful stuff, we claim. Six aviators will attempt a trip around the world in airplanes in September without a stop. Os course that’s a big undertaking and one in which there seems little chance of winning but it takes very unusual things to attract attention in this period of the world. If the farm owners from Decatur to the Wells county line desires a paved road they can have it but it will probably not be urged unless they so express themselves. The state highway commissioners are still too busy to spend any time in working out these details. The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel says: “The alleged Decatur bootlegger who sought to have his bond materially reduced in federal court here on the strength of "my rights under the Monroe doctrine” when his case comes up probably wil plead for total amnestyunder the Magna Charta or the Am- ■ iOu ancipation Proclamation.” But even that is better than the statute of limitations. There is much noise about a smashup of Tammany in New York City and there may be much or little back of it but our guess is that when the votes are counted in the next election the old "tiger” will continue to rule the polities of the big city. They are like the republicans, they scrap among themselves considerably but they "vote ’er straight” when the time comes. Its next week —animal clean-up in Decatur. That means that this week you are expected to place the tin cans and other rubbish which has piled up during the winter, in containers and place them where they can be easily picked up by the city trucks. Commissioner Fisher and his workmen will cover the entire city but you must have the rubbish ready when they get there so don't delay it Get busy now'. The president doesn't seem to be nearly so popular as he was a few months ago and strange as it may seem the hottest fire seems to be coming from that side of the house and senate which was supposed to be friendly to him. It won't be long now until they will be openly accusing him of being a democrat and proving it by the fact that he was a candidate on that ticket in the Michigan primary In 1920. This the final week of the campaign for sugar beet acreage. We are within reach of success and a little more effort will put it over.

Remember we are to vote on this question next Tuesday and you should use your right of suffrage to help decide IL This la boys week over the country and is being observed here. Fine thing, but remember we have the boys with us the year around and we owe it to them to aid them all the time. Jim Corbett, former world champion, talking to the boys of the nation last night advised against the use of tobacco, coffee and other destructive habits. He told the youngsters to build their bodies as the contractor builds a forty atory building—to withstand the strain and the test of years. Two women, sisters, aged forty-two and forty-tive were caught shop-lift-ing in Fort Wayne stores the other day, admitted their guilt and then wept so profusely that the judge suspended the very lenient sentences of ten dollar fines and thirty days in jail As long as we are thus effected ther-3 seems but little chance of stopping a crime wave that continues to grow until its proportions are alarming. We seem to be stern in law making but rather soft in administering them. Death to nearly a hundred people last Sunday and injuries to twice that many people was the toll paid for the spring desire for auto travel over the United States. Os that number*New York lost forty-three and Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania each eleven. There is no use talking about it but when we go tearing along at the rate of fifty to seventy miles, passing other cars with but a few inches to spare, crossing railroad tracks without watching for trains, we are sure to meet with terrible accidents. Instead of using caution we rush madly on in our wild, reckless mania for speed and imaginary good times. MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE <4.

Robinson Circus Has Many Elephants /zWvV □C / \ w \w / J \ J-4 Several herds of the best trained elephants in captivity will make their appearances with John Robinson's Circus, when this pioneer . show comes to this community for afternoon and night performances within the next few days.

John Robinson’s herds will he worked in the ring by the Misses Stella Cronin. Madge Fuller and Alice Anderson, three girls that are acknowledged as the best feminine trainers in the business. These young ladies will put the ponderous pachyderms through the newest dances, including the Black Bottom as well as the latest Pp«nish steps. • John Robinson’s Circus in 1929 will be found absolutely new from start to finish.

SEES DANGER IN FAST TIME Mr. Editor and Decatur Folks: I notice that the city council has decided to put it up to the voters to decide for or against the so called Daylight Saving plan at the Primary on May 7, which is the only logical way to correctly get the sentiment of the people. In the first, place if the daylight saving plan is adopted why turn the clock up one hour? Why not blow the whistle just one hour earlier or shall we try to fool ourselves by looking at the clocks? If we can fool ourselves for five months why not attempt it twelve months of the year and make it state wide. The shift forward and backward is what conglomerates things. The community around Decatur and the small rural towns will continue to use Central Standard time regardless of what v.e <io, and I presume if they cannot do their shopping here after work hours the small places will come into their own,' such as Monroe. Preble, Peterson, Monmouth and Hoagland, and the rural hucksters will do a thriving business’'•in groceries whilst the Chicago mailorder houses, who have flooded the cWire community with their catalogues'," will look on us with a broad smile. As Jias lieen said just let anything go and J*, will hang itself and those mail order .houses will gladly furnish the rope free. Remember Decatur is not like fort Wayne. The population of that city is conservatively speaking 85 to 90%

of the citys retail support. But how about Decatur without the rural com munity here about sticking to our retailers? Approximately 70 percent of Decatur workers are on a ten hour basis. Think of the wife who now gets up at 5:30 or earlier to get breakfast tor a 6:30 worker then it will be 4:30 or earlier. When the hot evenings come and there can lie no sleep on account of the intense heat until the wee hours, then up at 4:30 or earlier. Oh that extra hour of heavenly slumber in the cool of the early morning is worth more than all the others put together and to me would seem worth several hours of daylight saving time. I do not believe the laborer who works from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. can be tor the so called time as he will still have from 1% to hours left of daylight for his garden and other work. SThe workers who now go at 7:30 would after the change only go to work as the rest of us do the year around and if he works 8 hours only he should have enough time left for a 40-acre farm instead of ,a garden. Let us be broad enough to not only see our own conveniences but that ot the majority of the people. Go vote your sentiments. Are you for Daylight Saving Time or not?

HOOVER LIKELY TO VISIT WEST IN EARLY FALL California State Fair Urges Him To Describe His Farming Success By George D. Crlssey (Unite dl’ress Staff Correspondent) San Francisco, April 30—1 UP) It appears likely that Herbert Hoover, successful California farmer and President of the United Slates, wiil return to his home state this fall and demonstiate to western citizens that farming may be a successful business. The occasion will be the Diamond Jubilee of the California State Fair, to be held at Sacramento from August 31 to September 9, In connection with the 75th anniversary of the fair, there will be a general Western Exposition in which 11 states will participate. An invitation to attend the Diamond Jubilee and to open it was extended to President Hoover at a recent meeting of the fair directors, held in San v >. ' r tingements also have prominence to an ,. -i‘a from a San Joaquin Valley . '• President Hoover and three a-. n and operate. Hoover Farm 1,213 Acres Like an oasis in the Southern San Joaquin Valley, near the small town of Wasco, which in turn is near Bakersfield. lies the Hoover farm of 1,213 acres an area of two square miles. Incorporated under the name. The I'aso Land and Products Company, the farm went into business in 1921. President Hoover, Ralph Merrit, Julias Bernes and Edgar Richard, are the owners. Its manager, Harvey Kilburne like Hoover, is an engineer. "No loafing acres" might well be the faun's slogan. All produce two crops per year—some three. Permanent plantings, such as fruit tiees and grapevines, occupy half the land. The rest is in cotton and vegetables. Because of the long summer and mild winter the growing season, with crop rotation within the year is possible. For example, if prospects for fruit are not so good, then the land between the rows of trees is used to laise other crops such as ptatoes or alfalfa and a loss of revenue is thus avoided. Nine Wells for Irrigation The ranch, in an arid region, not far from the famous "Lost Hills” oil fields is irrigated by nine big wells, pumping night and day. Sixty men, using

ACHED ALL OVER UNTIL KONJOLA GAVE HIM RELIEF Unable To Perform His Duties On The Farm Until Modern Compound Restored His Health And Strength / ».v •’ "For Hie lust couple of months, I ached all over, and there wasn't a place that 1 could touch without it paining me," aid Mr. Lou Ragen, Route No. 1, Kemptun, near Kokomo. “I was not able to do my work on the farm in this condition; It was simply torture. I would suffer at night so that 1 couldn’t sleep. My muscles would become stiff and cramped. On tap of this, my stomach went back on me. I got so that I couldn't eat, and the food I forced myself to fake did not digest. Finally my condition became all run-down and I became a really sick man. always weak and dizzy. I was becoming discouraged. “1 figured I owed it to myself to see just what Konjola would do for me. 1 was truly amazed at the speed with which Konjola relieved me. Now- there isn’t an aclia or a pain in my body, and I can do my farm work, and It is not drudgery. My stomach has been corrected. I ,aai geli|ing the proper no|irisluqent'' froni my food. I consider Konjola a household necessity, and will never be without a bottle iu my home. I am glad to be able to add my indorsement of this wonderful medicine." 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.

mechanical devices whenever possible, are employed. This is a ration of approximately one man to 20 acres. Ten years ago California ranchers figured that five acres was about all one man could bring into harvest. According to fair directors, the Hoover ranch, with its unusual earning capacity, can have nil the apace it wants for the Diamond Jubilee exhibits. And President Hoover, the directors add, may have all the time he wants if he will accept the invitation to open the Jubilee. It is considered probable that the President will function at the Jubilee opening as it is generally understood that he contemplates visiting California about that time next fall. o Square Dance, Wednesday night, $5.00 in gold given away free.
