OUR LIGHTING SYSTEM.— We have been asked by several citizens recently how and when and where ornamental light posts are erected and we are glad to furnish the information. Ornamental lights are put in upon petition of property owners along the streets where they are desired and these are acted upon by the city council in the order In which they are filed. These improvements are like any others in which a part of the cost is paid by the property owners. The posts are purchased at cost by the citizens while the cost of installation and the wiring and lights are paid by the city. During the past few years several miles have been installed and it is the desire of the council to continue until every street In the city is thus lighted. At present there are pending six petitions as follows: Eighth, from Adams to Monroe, filed April 7th, ' 1927; Seventh, from Monroe to Nutt- 1 man. filed April 7, 1927; First, from Oak to Marshall, filed June 16, 1927; Tenth, from Adams to Nuttman, filed November 1, 1927; North Ninth, from Monroe to Nuttman, filed March 19, 1929 and Mercer Avenue, from Grant to the corporation, filed July 17, 1929. Three of these and perhaps four will be installed next year, the work beginning as early as possible and the others the following spring. The streets are being built as rapidly as funds will permit and evety petitioner lias been fairly and impartially treated. Seven years ago the bonded indebtedness of the city Was $109,500, besides bills payable of more than $27,000. Today the total indebtedness is less than $50,000 and the money has been set aside to pay that. What a record? Who would hesitate to continue an administration which has had a part in such a victory? And remember that during that time some $25,000 or $30,000 has been spent to improve the city plant and thousands of dollars spent for installing ornamental lights, paving- sheets ai d beautifying the parks. Its really wonderful when you stop to consider it. No wonder opponents find it difficult to assail the Krick admlnistra- ' tion. Efforts will probably be made to side track the voters here on unimportant matters and without a discussion of the real issues of the campaign. The administrations here, all democratic, the past decade have made excellent progress, paying off a huge debt and at the same time keeping up the streets, lights, municipal plaut and parks and without issuing bonds or increasing taxes. That should be the thing to keep in mind. Then you vote for George Krick and the others on tiie democratic ticket you may feel sure that the affairs of the city will be carefully administered. Now they are going to investigate the beet sugar representatives for trying to secure a tariff which will permit them to compete against the cane barons and continue to exist. Its a tough game when you bump into those who control affairs in congress these days. If they disagree with you. an investigation follows which puts everybody out of the lot. About' the

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Cleveland—(UP)—A. male Spttl thoroughbred pup. owned by S. J. Almasy here has no front paws, and hie front legs are only half as kmg as they should be. Two female pupplies in the litter are normal in every way. time the farm relief committee gets to working some one will start an investigation and then Will come an other hold-up of a year or two and so on and so on until the farmer and every one else is disgusted. It used to be the street car strikes which worried the folks in many cities. Now. its the gasoline truck drivers, garage men and others engaged in those avocations necessary to keep the benzine buggies on the move. A strike of that kind in New York is gaining alarming proportions, it is reported, some 60.000 or 70,000 men having joined in the demauds originated by the truck drivers. There is always the danger when such a movement starts that it may go on and on until every large industry is affected. Well should Al Smith and Cal Coolidge not be good friends? They are unusually brainy and each has had successes beyond the ambition of the wildest dreamer. Each has fought his way np from obscurity to a place where they are admired and respected by the world. Each hopes and desires more than any thing else to do something worth while besides holding office. We can imagine a lot of things that would makes these two men enjoy each others company. After studying the prohibition question for months the commission appointed by President Hoover has decided to appoint an expert to decide what’s wrong. Why didn’t the president hire the expert in the first place? Looks as though he could have saved considerable time and some money. They say now it may require several years before a report can be made. We doubt if you will find a community in all of Indiana where there is less law violation than here. Say what you will, the order and the maintainence of all things decent are about as near perfect in Decatur as can be found. Compare it with any city you are acquainted with. We are proud of our home town. o You hear the excitement! Y'ou listen in on the thrilling third degree —as this gripping ALL TALKING mystery drama — THE CANARY MURDER CASE unfolds! ADAMS THEATRE.

I MR " RUTH WILHOITE “Konjola is the medicine I should have had in the first place,” said Mrs. Ruth Wilhoite. 1357 West Ray street, Indianapolis, Ind. ‘‘For quite some time I suffered ill effects from a disordered stomach. Meal 4 ceased to be a pleasure because the food always caused intense pains throughout my stomach. I began losing strength and weight, was rundow-n in general and became extremely nervous. “A friend recommended Konjola to me and I decided to see what it could do in my case. The very first bottle proved to me that Konjola was an honest medicine. The poisons were swept away from my system; then digestion was restored and my appetite increased. I feel like a different person, enjoying health T have not known for many years. It is a most pleasant duty to praise Konjola, for I know that this medicine will do for others what it has done for me.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at the 3mith, Yager & Falk drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.
