The new bank notes will be out in a month and then the new dollar will look more like what its worth—about sixty cents. Stock prices dropped because wheat did but what made wheat drop? Thats the question of greatest interest to the American people. And so we come to June time, the good old summer days with the flowers and the crops growing and everybody hustling. Fine stuff and white you play, don’t neglect the work. A drive about town now will con vince you' that Decatur has many beautiful yards, well kept and nicely landscaped. The flowers are wonderful this spring and those who like them are having a delightful time a* this season. Along with his ability in other lines Colonel Lindbergh seems to be an ace in the game of hide and seek. ? He and his bride have completely die- * appeared and so far tho keenest - newspaper hounds have not been able “ to locate them. - , —— — ” A lot of very smart men ~ think that price of stocks can be ~ boosted to twice their value and still ’ be worth it. which depends perhaps " on how soon they unload. Not so long ' ago they thought the same thing about “ Florida and you remember that those — who hung on are still hung. * Home building is starting in this ■“ community again and we are glad of -it for that is sure proof that a city is going forward. Several houses are J under construction and several more «. contemplated. Better join the crowd " and do a little of the real stuff. Thats “ a great boost. * A Columbus to Chicago bus line is —i planning to provide a terminal here . with one route extending north to '* Fort Wayne and the other west. That ” means much for Decatur for the route ■ would cover as good trading territory * as we have, coming through fror.i Rockford and Willshire and going on to Preble. Kingsland and Markle. These means of travel all help the community. Ray Keech won $40,000 in about five hours when he took the race at ; the speedway but he took an aw-ful chance too. and its not like winning a prize fight or flying across the ocean for they do not seem to be in great demand for the movies or the stage. They would have to pay most folks more than forty grand to get them to whirl around a track two hundred times at such a dizzy pace.

No wonder Mabel Wiliebrandt quit Washington to open an office in New York City. It is reported that she has one retainer fee of $30.W0 per year from an aircraft company. After you have learned the ropes iu Washington and know how to do things pertaining to the legal departmefatiwm can'sell'your services for # lit more than Uucie Sum can afford to pay you. , _ This gasoline and soda fountain age is largely responsible for ths shortened life of paper money, says a writer in The Farm Journal. Not only are more dollar bills used to make small purchases, but the con-

tact of the paper with oil, grease and dust at filling stations, and with carbonated water on the soda counter, stains and eats off the finish of the bills much quicker than was the case a generation ago. We must have speed In these days if we like thrills and we must pay for it. The races in Indianapolis produced half dozen thriling accidents, with one dead and several seriously hurt. Over the country there were hundreds of automobile smash-ups with varying results. Its dangerous to be in too big a hurry these days but its dangerous not to be. for it you don’t move right along some one will run over you. We must have our speed. We have been asked several times the past week or so by strangers whysuch a live town as Decatur doesn’t provide a rest room for men and women, 34 hours a day and on Sundays and holidays and we con fessed we didn't know. The rooms in the court house basement and at the library are open on week days but there should be some arrangement made for those hours not provided by these. Its a job for the cityofficials and one that ought to be looked after soon for tourist travel has just started and will continue for several months. We hope some steps are taken at once. A report on 75,000 girls attending continuation schools in New York state will surprise many people. What are they continuing their com-

mon school education for? Fancy and frivolous stuff? Or mere moneymaking knowledge? Well, the leading course of study with these young ladies is ' home-making." One-fourth ’’of them are enrolled in the course. Next comes typewriting, with about 13 per cent. Then, in sequence, come sewing, bookkeeping, dressmaking and cooking —all subjects that Ct into any adequate conception of the modem home. Evidently these thousands of girls are neither selfish nor frivolous. Going out of the home to make their way. they are nevertheless looking forward to homes of their own. And many of them will make better homes than their mothers did.

AUDITOBIUMIN ATLANTIC CITY SURPASSES ALL World’s Largest Convention Hall Erected At Cost Os $15,000,000 Atlantic City. N. J. June I—(UP)1 —(UP) —The Atlantic City Auditorium, the largest convention hall In the world, will be officially opened tonight. The structure, occupying seven acres fronting the famous Board walk, was erected at a cost of $15,000,000, The three-day ceremony of dedication coincides with the inauguration of Light's Golden Jubilee —the s<Jth anniversary of Thomas Edison’s invention of the incandescent lamp —and Atlantic City’s Diamond Anniversary the year of its corporate existence. The auditorium is 675 feet long by 351 feet wide. The main auditorium chamber seats 41,00 persons, while 66,000 can be seated in the entire building. Pity the Poor Garden Madison Square Garden, New York City, could be placed in the main auditorium chamber, and a track meet ind several large gatherings be staged concurrently in the remaining area. There are no columns in the main auditorium chamber, the largest trusses >ver designed supporting a vast ceilug 135 feet above the main floor level Four of the Cincinnati Music HallSpringer Auditorium Buildings or four of the new convention and exhibit hall structures in Toledo, Ohio, or four of the New Oreleans Auditoriums cold be placed within the Atlantic City Audiorium. The longest home run hit ever made by Babe Ruth or any other baseball player would not go from one end of the main auditorium chamber to the other. In the main Auditorium chamber is an ice-skating rink measuring 90 by 200 which can be caused to disappear within one-half an hour. In the main Atlantic City Auditorium chamber can be held football, hockey, baseball, soccer, and other games as well as intercollegiate athletic meets, rodeos and circuses. The finest prize fight ring in the world is part of the Atlantic City Auditorium equipment, and notable boxing events will be held there. The main chamber also contains the largest stage in the world, 165 feet wide and 85 feet deep. Figures On Accurate figures as to quantities of various types of material used in the building of the Atlantic City Auditorium are staggering. 12,000 tons of structural steel were used;

18,000 tons of reinforced steel; 42,000 cubic yards of coucret; 65,000 barrels of cement; 10,000,000 brick laid; 200,000 tons of sand removed. 56 carloads of tile; 80,000 feet of steam pipe. Ten pairs of trusses support the roof weighing 220 tons per pair, and each with a clear span of 350 feet. These trusses are so large that they can move three inches with changes in temperature, necessitating a sliding joint ail around the roof of the Mammouth building. The Auditorium also contains a ball room seating 5,000 persons with complete stage equipment ind numerous meeting rooms. the smallest of Which seats 150 persons.

Adams County, Way Back When— Before 1890 \ "Story" Made Up Os a Group Os Stories About Pioneer Life And Events Which. Collectively, Go To Make lip The Interesting History Os The County. By French Quinn.

Company H and the Civil War Stirring times took place in that neighborhood during the Civil war and most of the boys of Company ’H’ were recruited from around there. Jacob Crist and his brother George and John Parrish and a number of the Andrews clan and Charley Merryman (father of Judge Merryman) and many others, and the bonds of friendship and sympathy between those bovg was a beautiful thing and lasted all through their lives. Loyalty to country and loyalty to each other was perfect. One time during the war somewhere “way down South" these boys of Company H were trudging on a I long march with orders to do no i foraging with heavy penalties. Col. i Huckle. a fierce martinet, was in comman<’ —’ ■’ intensely disliked. The were 1- George Crtet and '-n,- |,-a f,.-- and caught a iyou-g 1-5- r.ue’’c by and George sang out ' S’t'-M th of a gun". Immediately Rut’ ! '.heeled his horse and rode up to Company H and demanded that the man who made that murderous, treasonable utterance be immediately delivered. George shook in his boots but every man lied like a gentleman then and during a searching investigation. They would have all died rather than have peached on George. Oh they were a loyal bunch. But it seems to me that the folks had a lot of fun those days. Hunting was good. Lots of squirrels, quail, prairie chicken and rabbits, some larger animals and bee hunting was their great delight. If you saw some one following a bee in its “beeline” course across hill and dale you can bet he was trailing that bee to his lair in some hollow tree and the fam-| ily larder would be enriched with the wildest of wild honey. Family gatherings were very frequent and when family is mentioned that meant everybody. Just south of this Washington church neighborhood, and during the war that was almost the jumping off peace that way fr when you landed down French township way you got into swamps that were miniture ‘‘Limberlosts’’. I came onto the stage shortly after the Civil war. Father had been a soldier and of course I heard ten thousand stories of that awful struggle both from him and others. We of this day can never know of its sufferings and it :s no doubt good that we do not know them. Adams county did more than her share in furnishing “cannon fodder” and while many of her heroes were killed or disabled, vet after all it appeared that we got through better than many other sections of the country. When I was a youth it seemed that “old soldiers” i made up the bulk of the population which of course was not so but it was

really astonishing how many of the “boys in blue” still wore Hue suits with brass buttons and broad brimmed hat with a gold cord and a tassel around the hat band. I can remember many who were ’Butternuts'' and members of the "Knights of tlie Golden Circle" who, were you know, Southern sympathizers and hated Lincoln and his army. For long years after the war "boys who wore the blue” passing these known or suspected "traitors” muttered imprecautions and received buck like mutterings in return. Haters were good haters in those days. Out at the Winchester church in northwestern Monroe township almost every Sunday during the war "brushes" took place between Northern and Southern sympathizers. No one was ever killed but many were badly beaten up. Adams county furnished about seven hundred soldiers for the Civil war and that was a good many from such a sparsely settled county and the re-
