Now that physicians' reports are to the effect that TUB Bell is well on the road tn complete recovery from a siege of sp'nnl meningitis, maybe wo basketball fans can got bnck to basketball. —oOo And the way everyone in Ad sms county felt about Bdl getting well quick, goes to show that athletics are a great part of a community—but human life is first — the Daily Democrat received more calls concerning Bill's condition than it received concerning basketball scores — and believe Basketbawls. it was a greater thrill to announce that Bill was recovering, than it was to announce that Decatur beat Bluffton. — 000 Baskelhawls received a letter to day from an old Bluffton fan. Chnrl e Dailey, who now resides In SI Louis. Mo. Mr. Dailey, first asked ; that Bask- thawls convey his sincere w'shes for a quick recovery of Bill Bell to the family and then slated that ho wished he was hack in God's country where ho could feel that old time rivalry between the two best cities in the world, Bluffton and Decatur. —oOo--And we might add that we know Decatur is the best city in the world, and the West Suburb will have to look out for itself. —oOo —■ Coach Curtis is sending the Jackets through a series of tough workouts and he isn’t going to ’ake any chances on losing to Gar rett next Friday. —oOo— It appears almost certain that the Curtismen would finish the season with 1.000 per cent in the N. E. I. conference. —oOo— Here's the menu for Adams county teams th s week: Friday, Feb. 21 Yellow Jackets vs. Garrett, here.l Commodores vs. Chaminade. Day ! ton, Ohio, there. Jefferson vs. Gray, there. Berne vs. Monroeville at Monroeville. Monmouth vs. Areola, at IT.,a' r land. Monroe vs. Geneva at Kirkland, ' Kirkland vs. Hartford at Hartford. Saturday, Feb. 22 P- >-ne vs. New Haven at Berne Monmouth vs. Wren. Ohio, at Decatur. —oOo — The titre-* important games for the closing week-end of basketball competition are Decatur high school vs. Garrett: Decatur Catholic high school vs. Chaminade at Davton and Berne vs. New Havet at Berne. —oOo — The Borne game s Saturday nignt and it will be a real test for the Bears. New Haven trimmed the Johnsonmen early in the season at New Haven—and the Bea's want revenge — and since Sonny Tohnson came to Berne what th-* Boars want, they usually get. —oOo—

The came is Saturday night and indications are a lot of Decatur fans will journey south to attend the game. —oOo The sectional draws will he made next Saturday morning. according to Arthur the Great Trester, 000— Fel'x Maier, prominent Decatur merchant end manager and star forward of the Decatur Merchants baske ball team stated that h’s co horts were being groomed forth" tassel with the merchants next month. Felix who learned his basketball, by tossing iron on a flat car is optimistic concerning hi* team's ability to whip up the hard wood with the Teachers. 000— The proceeds of the Teach-erc-Merchants game go to a good cause. The Civic Section of the Woman's club uses the money in its Decatur first program. —oOo— The Commodores left this afternoon for a tought assignment — they meet St. Rose of Lima tonight at Lima. The Buckeyes defeated the Laurentmen here several weeks ago—and local fans are hoping for a reversal. Lima has a good team, but the Commodores can beat them, if every Commodore plays basketball. —oOo — The boys left here at 1:30 for Lima—Here's the best of luck, Commies. —oOo— The Kirkland-Hartford game next

QUALITY beyond all previous standards In entering the 1930 market, Dodge Brothers were keenly conscious of two fundamental facts: First, that this year more than ever, value will be the basis of sales. Second, that the public is today better qualified than ever to judge value. Dodge engineers met these conditions by designing two new cars with features that not only satisfy the demands of a thrifty and motor-wise public, but set the standard of values far ahead of any previous conception. Specifically these engineers have achieved-. SENSATIONAL VALUES A NE-W SIX « A NSW BIGHT $835 0 $1095 AND UP, F. O. B. FACTORY AND UP, F.O.S.
