We suggest that a sign be painted on the window of the new rooms of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce, designating the place as the official headquarters of the organisations. The temperature yesterday was the warmest for February 19 since 1925. The thermometers climbed to 67 degrees altove, which is tegular Florida weather and everyone seemed happy to get out in the warm sunshine. If the Tri-State mail carriers organization, which convenes in annual convention in Fort Wayne next June, induces Col. Lindberg tc pay them a flying visit, full attendance at the meeting will be assured. No matter what kind of a store, if through advertising, shoppers are brought here, the other fellow will get his share of business. No business has .a monopoly on trade and it is the aggressive, up-to-date merchant who gets his share. If everyone helps a little the results ar® increased likewise. If you don't believe that heavy traffic ruins brick streets, take a look at South Second street, between Adams and Jefferson streets. In several places the street has broken through and the bricks are heaving up. The petition to resurface this part of the street with an asphalt material is before the council and if the street is to be kept open something will have to be done at once. With a balance of $1,790 in the treasury, the Chamber of Commerce could outline a civic program for the coming year and we earnestly suggest to the new board of directors that something be carried out. Money that does not. work is like a hen that does not lay and a wise expenditure of funds in bringing about betterments or improvements or bettel

Paul Graham, chairman of the Free Street Fair committee announces that plans for the agricultural and live stock shows in connection with tlie fair next fall, entail a larger expenditure for prizes and a greatei display of products. These departments are most Important in the street fair and serve to create much interest and benefieial results to the ciuuiuuiiity. More ornamental street lights have been ordered by the council and before many months Noitli Seventh street and Eighth street, between Adams and Monroe streets, will be dressed with the new light standards. Decatur now has more than 6«>o ornamental lights scattered over the city and it is only ' a matter of a few years until prac-1 tie-ally every principle street in the city will be improved with the ornamental lights. Residents in and around Madison county are excited over reports that gold dust has been found in i the sand and a report went out tiiat Sometime ago a test was made of the sand and report went out that j it contained gold enough to be j worth S3O a ton. The rush started the other day and the farmer who owned the place had to employ guards to keep the gold seekers j from carrying away his farm. If that sand pile contains gold, that would be real farm relief. Fame is fleeting, as the saying goes. One day you're a hero and the next day, if you stub your toe, you’re liable to be a "down and outer." The Italian government, after completing an official investigation. says that Umberto Nobile, who led the dirigible Italia polar expedition, proved unworthy as a commander and lacked ability as an explorer. Before Nobile's fateful expedition, he was one of tin- j heroes of Italy and was acclaimed '

on every hand. Hundreds of men have experienced the same fate and will no doubt sympathize with Nobile. With the taking of tHe 1930 census, there is a little, speculation u:< to where the center of population will be established. Since 1890 the center of population has been in southern Indiana, about 20 miles east of Columbus, hiving moved 47.7 miles west and nine miles north during the ten-year period. The 1900 center was on the farm oi Henry Marr, six miles southeast of Columbus. From 1890 to 1900, it moved 1-1.4 miles west and 2.8 miles south. By 1910 it hid moved about forty miles almost due west to Bloomington, and between 1910 and 1920 9.8 miles west and .2 of amile north to about two miles west of Whitehall, in Clay township. Owen county. Its present distance from the Illinois line is nearly fifty miles and it is not believed it will move as far westward as that. It may even remain in Owen county or drop into Greene county to the south.
