Your local merchant is here to please and serve you and offers you more than mercnantiise, because he is helping build your community. Jjpmeone introduced a resolution to investigate prohibition enforeemejit and a fight started at once in the United States senate. If that wouldn't cause trouble what would? With spring only a mouth away, the announcement that the price of gasoline has been reduced two cents on the gallon, will come as welcome news to those who enjoy traveling the highways. The name of the Decatur Indus-1 trial Association was changed to the Decatur Vhamlrer of Commerce, at the annual meeting of the association last evening. Be a member of the Chamber of Commerce, because its purpose is to help Deca- ■'■"" tur and the community and you owe it your support. •» If you want business advertise foi it. is an old saying and true. Advertising, backed by courteous service and good merchandise at the right price will bring customers to your store and the merchant * who has followed this policy is ** keeping abreast of the times and Kilting his share of the trade. '_ . The city firemen have been kept J “ ~ on the run the past few days, but luckily no serious fires have occur- ' ' '— red. A good fire department, which not only includes competent men, but ample and modern equipment, pays for itself in a short time in —- holding down losses when fires do occur. ■ Adams county is to have its first murder trial in 25 years or more "2* and although it is not anything to *"* boast about, most communities are — 1 having them these days, so it will not lie anything unusual. Human — likes are funny and the more sordid a thing, the greater seems to be the interest.

This community lost another of its fine citizens in the death of Anthony Wertzberger, which occurred Monday at his home in this city. Mr. Wertzberger was born in Root township and lived his entire life in this county. He was a fine citizen, performed his share of community activities and will be missed by Ms host of friends. More candidates announce for coufity and township offices and it looks that by the time the ballots are printed an extra sized sheet will be needed. Candidates have until the first week in April to file their declarations and then it's thirty days time until the primary is held. With all the candidates in the field it looks like the political races will not lack any of the old time rivalry. The task of taking the census of business firms and establishments in Adams county has been started, the work being in charge of Ralph Yager in the north half of the county and John J. Hilty in the south part of the county. This work is in addition to the population census and must be finished before the counting of noses begins. The cooperation of the individual will be appreciated by the census takers and it is their desire to make intelligent and collect reports to the government. Tlie radio interference and static cleared up a little last night, making it possible to listen in without losing your good temper or turning away in disgust. A radio provides so much entertainment in the home, that when reception is bad, it leaves a bad taste, so to speak. Officials of the City Light and Power Plant have been trying to locate the trouble in the west and north parts of the city and those who thought that a machine gun had been turned loose in their ladio, are grateful for their efforts and hope that the trouble will be i ntirely, eliminated. The postoffice department' lias decided to discontinue another small office in this county. After February 28. tire office at Bobo, will be dropped from the liit ami the patrons there will be served out of the Decatur postoffice, receiving their mail on Decatur route six. The new service will probably be more satisfactory, because it will eliminate train delays and mail sent from here today wiii be delivered to the Bobo residents the next morning. Subscribers of the Daily Democrat will be served on the new route after February 28 and the change of address will be made at this office in time to comply with the new- order. The annual meeting of the Decatur Industrial Asociation, now Hie Chamber of Commerce, held last evening was an open forum, during which there were many and varied discussions on the chain and independent stores and expressions on how to create and make more business in Decatur through the effort of cooperation. The election of three directors resulted in the three former officers, namely, Avon Burk, Will Linn and Leo Kirsch, being re-elected, who will. ('. C. Pumphrey, 11. P. Schmitt, A. 11. Ashbaucher, C. E. Peterson, Eno Lankenau and Dick I). Heller, comprise the board of directors. The directors will! meet in the near future, organize and elect new Heers. The discussions at last night's meeting were interesting and helpful and many tine suggestions were made. It was the concensus of opinion that where the merchant advertised, sold good merchandise at the right price and gave courteous service to all, success in the retail business was assured.
