There are so many Ulings that we can do if we all pull together, make suggestions and Ijt'lp carry them out. You need the p u I. A. and they need you. Lets get together. " If we beautify the river banks, truild a new fire department, remodel the city hall, add ornamental lights.' build more roads and •fleets, erect a few houses and business blocks, conduct trade days *nd give an agricultural street fiiir, we will be any thing but “dead” in Decatur this year and Jliat's the program together with a few things like a new Federal ■building, a new school house and ■ether improvements under consideration. Quite a program. Don't be discouraged boys if Your wages are not as large as you Jtvou’d like. Back in 1893, Jest thirty-seven years ago, Herbert Hoover, then known as Bert, was a forty-dollar a month assistant to the state geologist of Arkansas. Since then he has seen the world, made several million dollars, served as secretary of commerce an 1 Js now president of the United Jltates, the greatest job in the ‘world.

TODAY’S CHUCKLE 1 « (U.r) 4 Paris. —Mrs. Whitney War- | ren, wife of the American i architect, is gathering all the documents relating to the Sires of Coucy whose beau- , tlful chateau was destroyed by the Germans in 1917 and hopes to establish a Coucy museum at the Hotel de Ville In the town of Coucy- i i le-Chateau. • ■ — - ■■■ 'w ♦

convince a majority of the voters, but they may make things uncomfortably warm uud may hold the balance of power in certain districts and a few states. Quite often we hear it said that flying is just as safe as motoring when the number of planes is compared to that of automobiles nut figures recently made public show that is not true but that to the contrary flying is eight time as dangerous as motoring. At present there are 8,000 planes in use in America while there are 20,000,000 cars and comparative figures on fatalities prove conclusively that its safer to stay on the ground. This however will not stop airplanes for the auto while perhaps as much more dangerous than the old fashioned buggy as the plane is in comparison with the auto, *n a few years almost wiped out the old fashioned mode of travel. Planes will be used when time is important and perhaps may in time become even more common than we of this generation anticipate. Needless to say we are pleased with the elevation of Dick D. Heller, city editor of the Daily Democrat to be president of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association, to which place he was elected this morning. The association is one of the oldest organizations of its kind in the middle west and its past presidents include of tjie leading newspaper men state.. Such names as Stoll, McDonald, Purcell and other leaders of a half century ago are found upon its roll and twice each year the members meet with many invited friends to discuss problems of various moment. The meetings of yesterday and today were among the most interesting and important in history with politics as always taking an important place on the program Miller Elliiigham retired today as, president and was followed by Mr. Heller, these two being the youngest men ever to hold the place of honor. The lover who sent the first valentine ranks with the inventor of Santa Claus, among the great unknowns of history. Few men have done, as much to make this a joyous world. Surely no one lias done more to color life with romance. No life is worth while unless it attracts and radiates love. And the valentine is the messenger of Cupid. If you are on the shady side of youth, there arp few- memories you can look back to, with Hie thrill and tenderness of the valentines of school days. Sometimes we wonder what became of those first sweethearts of youth the shiy little lassie in the gingham pinafore, the sweetheart of the old-time sleighrMe, the romantic love of our late ’teens and early twenties. You remember those valentines you sent them? "Them was the days.” Looking backward, the valentine days are rosy lanterns in the mists of the past. Those greatest sweethearts, qu. - wives, may be getting gray. But the old-time love is In their hoar’s. The thrill of a valentine to them is as tense and glamorous as long ago. This is Valentine Day, and all sweethearts, white-haired o" young, yearn for remembrance—violets, candy or, best of all, an honest-to-goodness valentine. ! o t Bargains in New Living Boom Suits.
