Dollar Day. big trade day in Decatur next Thursday when many of the stores will offer you more than you imagined a dollar could buy. Mark the date down and plan to come. As the town grows and as state highways are added there will be constantly a greater need for rest rooms that ire open, day and night, Sundays and holidays. The community can afford to meet a reasonable expense to secure the good will of visitors to the city. Congratulations to Miss Madeline Spahr on the honors she received in the state Bible memory contest a.t the Sunday school convention held at Shelbyville. Her success was well earned and her splendid standing has brought attention to the teaching of Sunday school work in this community. It is to be hoped that a settlement of the controversy at Berne concerning the route of highway No. 27 will be adjusted to lie satisfaction of every one concerm d. No community can afford to get into factions over public improvements and we are sure the good common sense of the folks in this live Adams conn y town will finally settle this knotty little problem. Modern new houses in Decatur will be built and offered for sale at a reasonable price. These will be strictly modern and will be sold not only on a close margin but on long time payments. making it possible for every I wage earner who so desires to own i his own home in a few years. Its a . worth while step ahead and one that I should have the hones’-to-goodness thought of every booster. The stale highway commission asks for 8600.0i>0 additional funds to raise salaries and employ more men. While they are entitled to all the money necessary to build and maintain roads and conduct the business in connection therewith the commission should remember it-hat the public is critical and that most folks feel | that that much money could be saved J from various sources so that the underpaid cle ks can receive ample pay | for their services. — The bargains and the special attractions offered by the local merchants for dollar day—next Thursday —is of course the big part of the occasion but as an added attraction the ' Decatur Advertising Association has secured the services of a famous magician, Satan!. who will make a blindfold drive, dodging traffic, stopp- i Ing at the signs and otherwise mak- j ing you wonder how it is possible for . him to do it. It's to be a great big ' day. Decatur has a new' organization I knbwii as tjid Knight Hawks. From the 'tame one might get a wrong Impression. These fellow’s are not or- j ganized to make the night hideous, but to boost and nose around for something that will help their city. Their first activity was to paint “Decatur, Ind.” on many roofs, that the aviatcr might get his bearings in fly-

r TODAY’S CHUCKLE Houston, Texas.—(U.R) — Eskimo pies, all day susckers, rocks, and balls proved too much of a diet [• for Plunger, sea lion in the Hermatin Park Zoo here. An autopsy on Plunger’s body revealed he died r, of indigestion. 2 ing over. Fine addition to the list 0 of Decatur organizations, is this 5 Knight Hawks dub, evidently.—Biuff- ° ton Banner. 5 0 0 Os course almost any one who desires an automobile driver's license can secure one, in fact according to the law there doesn't seem to be much 8 to prevent issuance of a license if the applicant dewires to urge it. Just the same there is considerable red tape ito it and a charge of fifty cents. . including the notary. This amount r over the state totals to considerable, it being estimated that the fees to the state will be more than a half million dollars. By the way, what . becomes of the money after it reaches • the secretary of state's office? We , have never heard, have you? The 1929 legislature appears to have mussed up beautifully the statutes relating to homicide. Hereafter, according to the decision of Judge W. T. Hutchinson, of the Clay circuit court, one who kills another and is charged with murder, must be convicted of first degree murder and therefore electrocuted or sentenced to life im- ; prisoninent, or must be acquitted. Hereto a first degree murder indictment carried with it the possibility of convicting the accused of murder in the second degree, voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter. < or assault and battery. Now it was the intention of the legislature to do away with convictions in homicide cases of lesser degrees than first degree, but the language of the new law reads that the accused "shall not be sentenced for a lesser offense than the offense charged in the indict-

ment. No court hearing any case on any charge contemplated in this act shall have any authority to suspend or commute any sentence imposed for the commission of any such crime." Therefore, if first degree murder is charged in the indictment, the defendant is perfectly sure of acquittal if his lawyers can make it appear hat the killing was done without I there being present any one of the elemnts that constitute murder in the first degree—particularly malice and premeditation. —Muncie Press. o MODERN ETIQUETTE By ROBERTA LEE Q What is a diplomatic way for a business man or woman to dispose of an unwelcome or wearisome caller?

With a merry ta-ta, Mrs. Thomas Fortune Ryan left her whoopee-mak-ing hubby languishing in a French jail. The grandson of the late New York financier, Thomas Fortune Ryan, doesn’t have access to his money, but what difference does that make. He plastered Paris with rubber checks for which some angry case proprietors put him in jail. Wifey paid the bplks but wouldn’t wait for his release. Honors Paid Women There are comparatively few statues of women except those of goddesses or symbolical figures. Joan of Arc is probably the most popular subject There are also famous statues of Cleopatra, Beatrice, Cenci and Frances E. Willard and a group of portrait busts of Lucretia Mott, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Immense Dry Dock The largest dry dock In the world Is at Southampton, England. This structure is 960 feet long and 170 feet wide. o Blasphemous Burlesque The Black Mass was a ceremony practiced in the so-called worship of Satan as a burlesque of the Christian Mass, during the time of the Sixteenth century.

LAURA SAUER “Konjola certainly proved to be a wonderful medicine in my case,’’ said Mrs. Laura Sauer, Utke Cicot.t, Ind. “My stomach and kidneys were in a very poor condition. Food simply refused to digest, and lay like a rock in my stomach. Gas caused me much distress. My kidneys too, troubled me. and there were sharp pains in my track, and my feet swelled. Cruel neuritis pains added their misery, and I was extremely nervous. “But Konjola corrected these conditions. My stomach is in perfect condition; food digests as it should, and all the old distress is gone. My kidneys have also beejjstrengthened, and gone are the bacK Mains aid the swelling in my feet. Neuritis pain \ are things of the past, and my nerves are perfectly normal. I owe all this new health to Konjola. and praise thi< new medicine every chance I get." 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.
