I The weather man says warmer for 1 the next few days and we hope he's ' rijpit. If there is any thing we don’t like its an early start at feeding the furnace. The Marion young man who has * been trying to outsleep old Rip Van ' Winkle awoke yesterday after being 1 unconscious for weeks. Physicians ' say he will recover. His condition 1 which followed an accident has been 5 the most peculiar of its kind in medi- 1 cal annals it is claimed. I We must at least give Premier c Ramsay MacDonald credit sot his f efforts to create a kindlier feeling be- ’ tween his nation and America, to re- 1 duce armaments of the world and to 1 set a pattern for other countries to 1 follow’, towards permanent peace. We 1 sincerely hope his mission here may be entirely successful, beyond his | fondest dreams. It makes us shudder to think of the loss of life and property ,as_ the • result of Danny Daniels’ fdblish.'effort to force freedom for himself and , several hundred companions. Wouldn’t ' it be great if we didn’t have to have ) prisons and jails? Wdnder if such a ( condition will ever exist on this earth? Just now we Seem farther ( away from it than ever. The man who led his prison comi panions in the wild strike at the ( Colorado prison finally gave up, shot his four co-conspirators and then himself thus ending the most dramatic affair of its kind so far staged. This wild-eyed prisoner had plenty I of .nerve, seems to have been an organ- ■ izgr and no doubt could have accomplished much if he had directed himself along proper lines. The Berne Review suggests that the Decatur street fair and agricultural sli’ow be made a county event and thht’s worth serious thought. We will gladly co-operate with the Review in their efforts to secure that believing it-would be a splendid thing for the entire county and we are sure the Legion boys who w'ere responsible for tlie 1929 fair will likewise be more than happy to co-operate on such a movement. State police are now on the hunt for those who drive automobiles without a license and It is estimated there are a half million violators to this law. We are a rather peculiar people it seems. When a law is passed we discuss it and 'then obey it or not as we please unless there is an effort to enforce it. Mr. Fifield, secretary of state, says this one is to be used and tluit arrests will be promptly made, so if you drive a car better have a license and have it with you so you cun show it when asked to do so. In a talk to the Rotary club this week, Prof. Worthman discussed the distances to the various planets and it was inteersting, but what’s the use Mart? Os course if we started at once we might reach Venus, traveling at the rate of two miles a minute for twenty-five years but how in the heck can we expect to get to Neptune

TODAY'S CHUCKLE Charlotte, Mich., —(UP) —Among I the first local sportsman to secure his hunting and trapping license Was Henry B. Hall, Sr., 91, of Bellevue. which at the same rate would require some 2.500 years? We don't propose to waste the rest of our life going so far when there are so many interesting places much nearer. Those who have bought stocks during the past few months and are still holding them are getting a toboggan ride these days. Every one of those supposed to be as strong as the rock of Gibraltar have take nose dives the past few days and billions of margins have been lost. It may recover and it may not. Looks to us and we don’t know much about it, that the time is coming when stocks can only be quoted on the earning shown by the company. If you hold stocks no.v 1 and can get out on them, you will be ' playing a safer game to invest in bonds or bank certificates, while the others are playing with the Wall street gamblers. , - - i We are hoping that the 1930 census will give Decatur a population of ' 6,000 and we believe it will. That , will be a gain of about twenty-five per i cent which is greater than that which will be shown in New York and Chicago though it may not seem so to you. The estimated increase of population in New York will be twelve per cent and in Chicago sixteen per cent. I In the years to come the smaller ' cities will continue to show a greater , gain than the big cities because the i tendency is to get away from congestion. Those cities of 5,900 which keep ( moving will be the best in the world i in another decade or two. It’s worth t the battle. 0 ( Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE *. A Furnace Hint Before time to start the furnace for t'he winter, paint all of the radiators with white paint. Some authorties claim it gives forth more heat than metal paint, and is often added to the appearance.

The Crime Wave and Its Cure

Au editorial on an Important subject by Lewis 8. Armstrong. in spite of unheard of prosperity and growth which our nation has undergone In the last decade we are today confronted with a very grave problem. We are living at a great moment in history when our entire country ie enveloped in a crime wave that is universal. Educators and statesmen are awakening to the fact that something must be done to rid our populace of the crime wave that Is raging. Conventions are being held, meetings are being called and the leaders of the country are directing their minds toward a plan to make this a safe and sane nation. Such is the situation which confronts America today. Our history during the past eighteen months is not such as should stir us with pride, and«the future bids fair to bring us even greater humiliation. Livee are being sacrificed and the criminal still lives on plying his instruments of horror. On many occasions the innocent and law-abiding citizen has been shot cold in death because he was merely a criminal suspect. This condition should no longer exist. It is not shooting, killing, murdering and bombardment that makes the law rightfully observed, but instead, It creates strife and antagonism among the nation as a whole. So it has been in the past. The question for us is, Shall these conditions remain? Why should cultural and technical training be absent from reform? The reign of the criminal calls the scholar to a great duty.

Rio Rita Returns To Shrine Theatre "Rio Rita’’ is coming back to the Shrine Auditorium. Fort Wayne, for one performance on Wednesday night October 9. As this attraction played at the Shrine last week, the following from Saturday’s Fort Wayne News-Sentinel is of interest: “Through the versatile dancing and comedy-making of Miss. Ellen Eckler, George Wintz's “Rio Rita” was made an exceptional show Friday night, at the Shrine Auditorium. Fort JVayne theatre-goers' who misled the pleasure of viewing the musical comedy of the Rio Grande, Friday night, will be pleased to hear of its return engagement. Wednesday night, October 9.” And to return to Miss Eckler. who steals the show from everybody else, you won’t dare miss seeing her. Her equal in dancing and comedy can only be found in Broadway successes. “Rio Rita” nearer an operetta than a musical comedy, is a good show. One could have listened to an entire evening’s entertainment by the Texas Rangers, a male chorus almost as good as that in “The Desert Song," altho' they were not on the stage long enough to prove such a statement. The scenes were at most times romantically laid along the Rio Grande with the proper amount of Mexicans furnishing background. At times, the scenes and costumes approached the ultra spectacular. The lyrics need no introduction, for “Rio Rita,” and “I Can’t Speak Espagnol”, have been papular for the past two or three years. Miss Marybeth Connolly, as Rio Rita, played the part well with a figure more than passing fair, a Spanish type of beauty despite her real name and a fair singing voice. But little Mis Eckler stepped in and ran off with the show. She could sing, she could dance\soft toe and taps, come out in the following Scene in a different costume, go through with the most clever contortions that this reviewer has ever seen, return in the following scene in an entirely different role, and put out some real comedy. More than that, she did all with apparently no trace of weariness and plenty so the old time pep. All In all. the shdw is indeed well worth seeing, and some who lean to the romantic string music will find Romero’s Mexican Troubadours (Genuine Mexicans, too), refreshing. See the show when it returns. October 9, and above all, see the little queen of versatility, Miss Eckler. Itx o Ret th* Habit—Trane at Home, ir F>a»»

• Educated leadership and scientific reform are the prerequisite of a completely changed condition. The e»cholar alone can supply them. He can pour into our society the stabilizing power i hat can correct this evil. He can bring to it the directing wisdom of theory, and the balance and toleration born of broad knowledge. He can enlarge and beautify it with ideal values from his World of scholarship. He has been educated by the public to a power of public service; his wind is the highest expression of our democracy; and now he is called to justify himself by solving It greatest problems. The statesman and reformer, the schfolar in office must reconcil these fundamental conflicts. We must have leaders who are great, towering beacon lights in a rambling, restless nation. We must have men who dare to approach eveiy national policy in the light of its effect upon humanity at large. This is the supernational mind at work among men, the mind which we’ must develop if the nation is to succeed in this crisis and is to be of influence in the future. But the super-national mind must be cultivated by the masses as well as by the leaders for in America the achievements «>f leadership rest upon the consent and cooperation of every citizen. Every man ir -crested in this movement must direct his attention toward the accomplishment of this task. No matter how exalted the leadership, it owes its life to the friendliness of the people. Think what this means. It means that, if the greatest need in America today is

the leadership of super-national minds you aud 1 must haw super-national minds to support them; that we must bring to bear upon our national problems, the same careful thinking and Insight that the leaders exerctee, that we must give our allegiance in concerted action to a great and unsrtflsh cause. With that same indomitable courage and hopefulness of spirit, that our pioneers possessed, we must spread the doctrine of morality and virtue throughout the length and breadth of America, we must shout it from house-tops; and make the land ring with our plea. Then we shall not need to fear for our nation’s future. Our ideals will not be sacrificed, our nationality Mrill be preserved; and the unrest and vice so prevalent today will be lost in a great concerted, unselfish movement for the betterment of scoiety. What are you and I to do? We must turn a deaf ear to all unwarranted appeals to sentiment. We dare not becloud our minds nor obscure the great question before us by empty mouthing®, or by sensational appeals to cheap patriotism. We must propagate this new ideal. A struggle awaits us. infinitely more difficult than any we have faced before, for it is nation wide in scope. Let every- leader and every individual interested in this question look forward into the years before us.
