Decatur needs fifty or a hundred houses and if build right and sold right, they will soon be owned by locally employed men. That makes a better community and helps us to grow. Better get busy. Others are. Poison liquor is dangerous stuff to drink or to give to some one else to drink, in fact any kind of liquor is bad stuff to be dealing in these days and the recent case in Adams county will call attention to it more forcibly. There are several vacant lots which need attention and if the owners persist in permitting them to furnish weeds four feet high and go to seed, the officers will have to have the mowing >done at some one's expense. We complain about the cool weath j er of the past few days and yet most | of us if we could would spend several hundred dollars in a month or so Just to get a few days of the cool breezes. Aren't we funny? When we get something for nothing we don't seem to appreciate it. The fall festival here will be just as good as we make it and the Legion boys and others assisting them will make it just as good as you permit. These public events are good when they are good and poor investments when not up to the standard desired by the public. Get back of this effort top ut up on a big week and help make it a real one. —” Chicago newspapers are now engaged in cleaning up tile smaller uvwu state cities. Recently they gave 1 streamer headlines to one place where liquor is peddled from house to house. Flue stuff, but can you imagine such a < ampuigu coming out of Chicago. Evidently they have given up doing any thing at home and propose to clean up somewhere either out in the sticks or down in. old Miami. Five Detroit men. looking for someing to do over the week-end jumped into the basket of a balloon Sunday morning and headed for Indianapolis. They got this far and decided to come down for a little visit. They seemed, to enjoy the outing and they furnished an unadvertised thrill for a lot of folks around here. Os course enroute they knocked down several; fences, tore the roof off a barn and did some other damage for which' they will pay but as long as they think they hud a big time, why should we worry?

the same lines as Hollar. The other day came a prepaid express package addressed to Haliar. Inside was a neatly pressed suit that scarcely showed any signs of wear and fitted Hollar to a T. Now Farmer Hollar is the envy of the whole neighborhood for not everybody can wear a suit that once clothed an ex-president and chief justice —Mid-West Review. A newspaper editor who has “been taking a month's vacation as hired hand on a farm" finds himself impressed with the struggles of the struggles of the farmer to win the fruits of the earth. Recently lie has been plowing, after waiting long for the soil to dry sufficiently, and putting in his time doing a few dozen odd jobs. “It takes so much work to get the land seeded!” he exclaims. “First comes the plowing, then disc-harrow-ing, once lengthwise and once crosswise, then it must have the iron or smoothing harrows cross it. then the' seeding, and after this it gets a couple of operations, once with the iron harrows to make sure every seed is covered, and finally the roller to pack the seed bed tight. That makes seven times over the soil to work it properly and it all takes time and labor, with no calculations for rain.” Then the job is only begun. There must be the growing and reaping, with many cultivations in between tor crops permitting it. And always from the first to last, there is the peril of ruin by drought or flood. The city man who goes every morning to work a fewhours at some simple, definite task, for which lie will unfailingly receive his pay at the end of the week, often criticises the farmer for complaining--abqut his lot. Those who lack sympathy for the farmer should take similar vacations. — Evansville Courier. , — Still Hs Fools Sonre PoopU “De long-talkin’ mon.'' wild Uncle Eben. “la mighty liable to be relyin more on cough drops dqn on ideas.

Adams County, Way Back When— Before 1890 4 “Story” Made Up Os a Group Os Stories About Pioneer Life And Events Which, Collectively, Go To Make Up The Interesting History Os The County. By French Quinn.

Stories About Settlers Over in Preble township the neighborhoods were largely German folks made up of people that came in In the 1840 and 50 ys and they were the best class of people ever raised in the Fatherland. They were a thrifty Jot mostly Lutherans and as great colonizers as any country ever had. Immediately that section of the county became a replica of old Germany and the habits and customs of the home land were not departed from. For many years two craftsmen there "Wooden Shoe Maker" Meyers and G. Schlickman, made wooden shoes and Papa and Mamma and the kids and Gross Papa and Gross Mamma, if they had emigrated too, wore those clumsy things and in winter time a pair and maybe a couple pair of heavy wool stockings knit by Mamma of course, kept their feet from getting too calloused. Yet it was a marvel how dexterously those folks could manipulate their feet thus encased and children did not seem to be slowed up in any activity. These expert shoe makers flourished until long after the Civil war and their craftsmanship died with them. I knew a number of these Preble township people well. A number of them got rich, with wonderful farms great buildings and fine livestock and their little log churches gave way to pretentious houses of worship, as the churches of Preble township today testify. The Biebericks', Millers', Ewels'. Koldeweys’, Conrads', Hilgemans’, Buucks'. Fruchtes’ and many ethers pioneered this section. These folks were great friends of the Adams County Bank and grew into heavy depositors but they did not borrow much as it seemed to lie their way to borrow among themselves and take cate of their own needs. It was a delight to go to their homes for they w-ere a painstaking people, superbly self sufficient and their homes and barns and buildings for stock were ample and convenient and each home was something of a little town of its own. Wagon shop and blacksmith shop, made and fixed their own implements, upground cellars and their own home clothing establishments and in season and out of season never without their fruits, vegetables, meats and a barrel or two of sauerkraut. This same condition prevailed over in Root township and Union township. The Gerkes’. Fuellings'. Christianers', Dirksons’, Bernings’, Blakeys’. Reinkings'. Hobrocks’, Erwins' and others had f:ue farms and fine buildings and prospered exceedingly. The Magleys’,

Fenners', Kuukles'. Woya', Gladdens'. Freehs', Luckeys', Waggoners’ and families of that fine type also furnished a class of citizenship that advanced the north end of the county quickly. Over in Union township there lived long years ago a queer old character named Daniel Hines, who was another gentleman who never failed to wear a long tailed coat and a silk hat when he came to the county seat to trade and he was a smart old chap, round as a tub with a face like Daniel Webster and only about 5 feet 5. He was a great student and a bluff and hatty man and a grip of the hand that no one could stand. When he came to town it was an event and people went out of their way to talk to him. George Luckey lived over in and he was a distinct character :.n laised a fine family of professio... men who have gone away from Decatur and made their mark in the world. o— ii ■ *••*»«■***•**• • BIG FEATURES * • OF RADIO • c «•« « Tuesday’s Five Best Radio Features Central Standard Time throughout.
