Everybody probablf has a hobby and President Hoover's seems to be fishing. Each week end finds him prowling along a creek or river with his pole and a friend or two. Chicago hotels are banishing ice and ginger ale it is announced. Tbe trouble with that is that business will probably fall off and then in desparation the managers will begin bootlegging these necessary ingredients for a highball. Be sure to read the story "Way Baek When—Before 1890”. Its a true i story of life in Adam - county in the days when this was a rather "wild 1 and wooly” community. You will enjoy it, recognize many of the characters and appreciate the human side of a day which is rapidly disappearing. ■i— Some of the senate members would prevent the newspaper reporters from' printing any thing except such speeches as are meant for the folks ' back home. That would be a sad | mistake for free press and free speech! are about all that is left of the old ; constitution any way. If they*"trtei that we can no longer boast of our| tree institutions. — There is so much difference between ( the opinions of the statesmen con- j cerning the settlement of European debts in campaign time and when congress is in session that we just can't keep up with them. Now it seems the matter of straightening up that little account of $400,000,000 with France is to be postponed another year. It is announced that peace has , come to Chicago, but the sorry thing > about it is that it comes not because j of any fear of the law but because of ; an armistice signed by warring factions of the Windy City. Outlawry seems to have set up its own constitution and by-laws and the bandits, murderers, bootleggers and criminals of every sort simply thumb noses at i the regular officers. “Don’t be afraid of a thought, hold on to it. if its false it will die, if its good it will live," was one of the high spots in the address of Boyd Gurley | to the graduating ciass here and one worth turning over in your mind. Too many, folks permit others to do their thinking and that’s a bad wav for any young man or woman who expects to arrive some where some day, to start. We listened Saturday evening to a musical concert broadcast from Berlin for the benefit of the Byrd expedition at the South Pole and relayed through KDKA at Pittsburgh. Wonderful. Can you imagine yourself be lieving a few years ago that such a thing would be possible? Then don't be too much surprised at developments of the next few years. Chances are they will be just as unbelievable f|| iiirk and is perform Ting great achievements. There seems to, be plenty of work for every one in Decatur just now and we hope it so continues, but remember that if you get a job you can make yourself so useful to your employer that if it does become neceshary to reduce, you will be one of

’ TODAY’S CHUCKLE Spokane. Wash.. — (UP)—'Beto, cba SIOO you can't arrest me,” I Charles Hutchinson, a farmer who • was showing utter disregard for the ■ 18th Amendment, shouted at Po--1 liceman Burger.

It is also well to reI member that when you are working ' it Is a mighty g,md time to lay up a i few dollars for the rainy days if they [ should come. Open a bank account I or at your first pay day and save something each week. Looks as though the courts down in old Kentucky will permit the fifteen year sentence of Carl Mahan, six-year-old lad who killed a playmate in a fit of anger to stand. At the same time they will probably permit a lot of really bad characters to continue at liberty. A six-year-old boy is scarcely capable of murder. He may be quick tempered and have a tendency towards evil but he certainly needs a mother’s care and attention more than he does that of a prison warden. What we can’t understand is how Reg Robbins and Jimmy Kelly ever kept from attempting a flight around the world in their "Fort Worth" second hand plane, if they had an idea they could stay up so long. Os course they couldn't be waited upon as they have in their present endurance flight but with such a motor and with their! nerve we are betting that if they i ever start for Paris they will arrive. I We really prefer the present test to those which require a long distance across the ocean and we believe most every one else does. Their accomplishment of the past week is qui'c ' marvelous. We hear considerable discussion I concerning the increase in crime, especially among boys and young nutn. but we believe one of the main reasond has been overlooked, and that is so much foolish and fad legislation

against the employment of so-caliod “child labor." In this state, for Instance, it Is unlawful for a firm or corporation to employ any one under the age of 18 without a special permit from some one, which Is entirely too much red tape, with the result that many young men do not learn a trade or learn to work until they hqveloafed so long that they are not inclined to acquire the habit of work, and they grow up in Idleness. But they must have money to spend, and not being inclined to work for it, some of them resort to petty stealing, and the next step is banditry. If a boy doesn't begin to acquire the liable of work and by his work and earnings learn to save by the time he is 14 or 15 years old, chances are. nine times out of ten, he will not acquire the habit of Industry and thrift after that age.—Brownstown Banner. o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q.

FARMERS RESENT HIGHWAY ORDER Evansville Ind., May 25 —(UP) As ter having threatened to let their wheat stand in fields and rot unless the Vanderburgh county commission,’' recede from their stand barring thresh ing machines and tractors from roads a group of farmers has written to the state highway commission to learn it there is some device for equipping threshers so that roads will not be damaged. Dan Kuester, one of the embattled farmers, declared: “They build roads for city automobiles and disregard ns entirely. We're taxpayers too. How are we going to thresh out wheat if we can't move our machines? “We have to put rubber shoes on our horses to drive them over some roads," anothe ’armer complained. _— o *«»****<»*«**• • TWENTY YEARS AGO * • From ths Dally Democrat File • • Twenty Years Ago Today • May 27—Madison, Owen and Crawford counties vote dry.
