Watch for it and don't miss a chapter. You'll like It. Tunney says the $500,000 breach of promise suit must be a joke. Perhaps but its the kind of a joke that the average groom wouldn't relish and would cause the average bride to be looking around for the rolling pin. Write these dates—September 10th to 14th on your cuff hands. Thats the date for the b'g street fair and farm exhibit n Decatur and will be a gala occasion with something to interest every one. 1 That the schools progress is shown along many lines by tho'sc who keep in touch and perhaps in no way is there a better showing than in the musical departments. Few cities of two or three times the size of Decatur can boast an organization which can produce better vocal and instrumental music than was given at last evening's exercises. While we are living in the "straighteight'’ age when the young men drive to see their girts in cars that will do seventy miles an hour without purring louder than a kitten, it is well to remember the days when the young men who could sport a rubber tired buggy with red running gears, was some catch. You will enjoy reading the story to start in this paper soon on “Way Back When —Before 1890.” Will tariff help the farther? We doubt it and base our opinion solely on facts from the past. Before the emergency tax of forty-two cents was placed on wheat, the price was $1.50 per bushel. Now- its $1.02. Wheat is now thirty-live cents a bushel less than it was a year ago and its seven cents higher in Winnipeg than it is in Chicago. Figure it out for yourself. Drunkards and others who are not qualified to drive an automobile will not be granted licenses if the orders of Otto Filield, secretary of state, ars carried out and that should, it is figured, reduce fatalities and injuries in the slate about twenty-five per cent. That will help some and every license bureau should cooperate by following out instructions to the letter. Business is changing rapidly and its just a little hard to keep up with It all. An automobile manufacturer is now making refrigerators, drug stores sell a little of every thing, railroads are using aeroplanes, street car companies run taxicabs, mail order houses arc opening retail stores, photographs are sent by telephone, yesterdays happenings at the Soil h Pole appear in today’s papers, women invade cigar stores and barber shops and motor clnb3 are locating aviation fields. The world moves on at a speed. ujipr,(iphgsi^{i [• i •i U • m ft: “Keeping up With the World” was' the subject of Mr. Gurley's address to the commencement class iiere last, evening ami well chosen for the young folks who are stepping out to face the battle.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE New Bedford, Muss. — (UP) - When Joseph De Mello pleaded guilty to charges of Illegal trapping court attaches breathed sighs of relief. For the evidence which would have been produced had the case gone to trial consisted of two skunks

ones the next decade, advlslug that for those who think and work there Is plenty of room. He said that the class of sixty young men and women contained just two kinds of people—conservatives and liberals and we need them both. He advised them to be liberals, believing that we should not be afraid to analyze a thought when we have it, to try things that may better the world, to keep clean and play square. He gave the class and the large audience many things worth thinking about. The. farmers of the centra! states, together with manufacturers of corn products, asked congress to remove sago and tapioca from the free list. It was contended, and rightly, that these foreign products competed with American corn and their free entrance to the United States robbed the American producers of an outlet for their crop The ways and means committee rejected the proposal, presumably on the ground that it would raise the cost of food to the American consumer. The reason will not bear examination. The tariff on farm products. as on any others, is intended to increase the income of the American producer by eliminating foreign competition. Higher prices must lie expected. The nation is committed to the idea of the protective tariff. The nation, having determined to protect its producers from foreign competition, cannot consistently stop when it has protected manufactures. The tariff on manufactured goods also result in higher prices to the consumer. There can be no justification for artificially raising the price of the clothing a man wears, the chairs he sits in, and the machinery with which he makes his living while refusing to give adequate protection to the farmers, whose food he eats. The farmers are entitled to their tariff on sago and tapioca, and those who receive the benefits of tile other tariff schedules must expect to pay their share of the cost of the'farmers' protection.—Chicago Tribune.

BEE INSPECTION IS DEING MADE

The annual iitspectiu of bees ill Adams county is now being made by R. M. Baker, state inspector working for the Department of Conservation of the State of Indiana. The bees throughout the county are inspected each year to aid the beekeeper in controlling and eliminating American and European Foulbrood. Foulbrood is a disease affecting the larvea of young bees. It spreads easily and rapidly through the country where it is prevalent and, if allowed to scatter unchecked, the disease will wipe out ail the bees in a particular neighborhood in a very short time. Mr. Baker lias already inspected aboiit half of the bees in the county and and if weather permits, he will finish the work in a few' days. Apiarymen should lie interested enough in. their bees to cooperate with the inspector in making the inspection thorough and complete. A particular effort is being made to visit all apiaries that were infected &ith foulbrood last year. Anyone who .lias bees and wishes to have them inspected should get in touch with Mr. Baker at the county agents office within the next few days. * 9»****e»*«** * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * From the Dally Democrat Flla • * Twanty Yeara Ago Today* * ***¥*#«»•«••!* May 25—Charles Baker injured neaClover Leaf Station when lie is thrown from liis wagon and several heavy ties fall on him Governor Marshall appoints William Debority, of Elweod, as chief of state accounting hoard.

PLANS ALREADY ORGANIZED FOR ' CENSUS TAKERS Clerical Task Most Difficult In Enumeration Os Nation’s Millions — ! Washington. May 25—(UP) —W’hen j i he vast army of 100,000 census takers swoops down on America next fall there will be in Washington another smaller army of clerks transcribing the incoming records and preparing reports for the President and congress, i The Census Bureau already is making preparations for taking the 15th j decennial census. Tentative report j forms are being drafted, extra office 1 space is being made available for the 6.000 temporal y clerks who will be em-! ployed, and machines are being ad-1 justed for the coining task. The average mind caunot conceive! of the stupendity of recording a brief history, foi that is in reality what a I census is, of more than 120,000,000 peo-! i’e. Tile actual enumeration will re-1 quire only 30 days in rural 'districts! and half that time in cities, while the compilation of records will not be completed until June 1932. If it were not for the machines used in tabulating the census, the work probably would not be finished before time foi the next one to be taken, i Tiie men and women who actually I canvass the country have a simple job compared with the clerical phase of it. Under 550 Supervisors 100,000 enumerators work under 550 j supervisors. The country is divided into sections and subdivided into civil] districts. These population counters record the statistics on double-faced! sheets with a capacity of 200 names. When the sheeis reatfh the Census! Bureau they are transcribed on cards j which have been ruled into 24 parts j Figures and combinations of figures ate set instead of woids and the trails sc-iption is effected by means of a . un. king machine. Each of the 24 sec-! lions of the card is perforated in such j a manner to the individual whom the! ca;d represents. The cards are then placed in a ma-l chine which automatically classifies | them according to sex and if desirec.; further classification may be made as I to color, age etc. The next are taken to the machine, upon which the census officials pride I themselves most —the recording machine. It was invented by a bureau official especially f:.r. census work, and there is nothing like it on earth” It will pi hit 60 different items simultaneously at tli-j rate of 40u a minute. Dill Not Yet assed During the coining census 48 of these machines are expecte dto dispose of over 3,000,000 cards a day, correctly. Tile perforated cards are stacked in one sid of the machine and descent through complicated mechanical apparatus which, by means of the perforations, operate from one to 20 sets of type, printing the totals of all of the divisions of the cards on a large sheet of paper. This constitutes the permanent record from which tile Government Printing Office published the final report. Census Bureau officials, however, are in somewhat of a quandary as to what preparations will be necessary as Congress lias not yet passed the blfl authorizing the cotisus. Then too, there is talk of consolidating the unemployment survey with the, regular,, count. This will mean additional farms and different adjustments to the.statistical • machinery. The bill Was . include*' a-1 litong those dead ous of passage by President Hoover in his opening mes-; sage to the special session aud it is expected it will be brought to a vote as soon as the tariff and farm Relief urea-, sures are disposed of. o Get the Habit—Trade at Homo, It Paye
