The resolution of the senate censuring Senator Bingham for pulling a few fast ones in preparing the tariff bill is probably alright but he will continue to draw his salary and to use his influence for whatever he stood for prior to the resolution. Calvin Coolidge, it is reported from good authority, received SIOO,OOO from March 4th last to September Ist. Now we begin to understand why he “did not choose to run.” That’s about three times the salary he received as president for the same period of time. President Hoover is the son of a West Branch, lowa, blacksmith. Mussolini. famous dictator of Italy is likewise the son of a village smithy and many great men have come from that source. We suppose that those in a few years from now' to attain great heighths in a public way will come from the wayside garages, There is always a feeling of relief when tax paying time is over and the strain of getting the money together begins to let up. For another six months we can plan other things but always with the fact in mind that tax paying time is coming as sure as any thing in this world. The city election is in progress, a quiet and orderly affair in which the voters of Decatur are declaring their preferences as to those who will conduct affairs the coming four years This is a splendid city, progressing and rapidly becoming an ideal place in which to live. Let’s keep it that way by pulling together for what helps one is sure to help all the others. As the Thanksgiving season approaches it should help all of us to remember that the day inaugurated by a little bunch of folks who were happy and grateful because they survived ail their hardships and dangers and not because of prosperity and luxury. The blood of those pioneers still surge through American veins and we will still meet trials and troubles with a smile and a determination to win that can’t be whipped. No wonder we have stock flurries in this country for there are more than ninety billions of dollars invested in the stock which are listed. Even \ at that we are not the richest country per capita in the world. In fact we are third. Switzerland is first with a per capita wealth of $3,126, New Zealand Is seeond with $3,02!) and the United States has $2,908. The smallest is in Russia where the per capita of money is hut $215. Lawrence Archbold is a candidate lor county agricultural agent and Ills friends are boosting his cause. He is, we understand, well qualified, and if selected will make good as have the two last agents, both of whom were Adams county men. Mr. Bundle and Mr. Christen made excellent records, notwithstanding the fact that the Purdue department prefer outside men. There may be other local

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Ovonto, VVIs., —(UP)—A freight train struck the car in which Clayton Aubtey and his family were . taking eggs to market. The car was • smashed hut the Aubreys were un- - hurt and not a single egg shell was broken. I • candidates who are qualified and we i | are not attempting to boost any one 1 of them in particular but we are for i i local candidates against the world, ' believing that best results can thus be obtained. Two or three owners of business blocks have spoken to us about the wonderful improvements to the Keller front hy the painting of the brick. They have suggested a campaign to have each business front so improved and it would certainly add to the appearances. Take a look at the hntldfng mentioned and investigate it. We understand the cost is very small and we don’t know of any thing that could lie done next spring that would help as much. Keeping the store buildings looking attractive is just as important as keeping up the residence district and we have an opportunity to make Decatur a snappy appearing city. The thought is worth while and we hope it “takes.” In a recent survey of parking conditions in a midwestern city, it was learned that of the parked ears in the downtown area, the check being made in the morning, at noon and in the late afternoon, 23% of the available parking space was occupied continuously from morning to night by the same cars. 81% of which were cars owned by local business and professional people—two merchants having two cars each for the full day. also that the average parking time per car was two and one-half hours; therefore. each car parked continuously deprived three and one-fifth customers of a space to park. In other words, the merchants in this town, hy their carelessness, thoughtlessness, or for their own convenience, were driving a fifth of teir trade away. At the same" time, this survey proved that in many cases local merchants had ample parking space at the rear of their stores, and some of them had available garage space, unoccupied. The majority of the merchants in this town complained of lack of business, or stated that they could “stand’’ more business; many “cried" about business. when they could, by a little thinking, plus a very small amount of effort and inconvenience, automatically make possible an increase in business of from 15 to 20% for themselves and the community. o Household Scrapbook By ROBERTA LEE Delicate Colored Materials For washing and , rinsing delicate colored materials, Epson salts is excellent.

Years of Stomach • Trouble Ended Back-Ache and Yellow Look Gone. Eats Heartily, Gains Weight Everyone troubled with indigestion, hack-ache or constipation will realize how welcome perfect health was to Mrs. Philip Anderson. 848 Rtlsh St., South Bend. Ind., after years of suffering. She tells her experiences as follows: “I suffered agonies with stomach, liver and kidney trouble for seven years, ever since toy little girl was born. I was badly constipated, extreme ly nervous, and simply worn out by loss of sleep and dreadful pains in my back. I had no pep at all. I was very bilious, had bad dizzy spells, and my complexion turned yellow. 1 went down to 90 pounds. Gas formed ill my stomach every time l ate anything, and the bloating and cramps pained me terribly. Food felt like a rock in my stomach. At times the pains were so intense I could hardly breathe. I thought 1 would die. Nothing gave me any relief, and I was on the verge of despair when I started to take Viuna. At once I began to improve. My appetite came back, indigestion vanished, and now 1 eat anything 1 want. 1 sleep fine, am not nervous any more, and never have those awful dizzy spells. My skin is clear and I’ve gained ten pounds. Friends all say how well 1 look." There must he something different, something truly wonderful about a medicine which has promptly ended so many severe cases of back-ache, stomach trouble, kidney pains and rheumatism.
