Warning has been given and you can avoid arrest if you see that the tail light on your car is burning. From the number of automobiles seen on state road No. 27 between Decatur and Fort Wayne last Sunday, a person wonders how long it will be until 'the public demands 10 feet wide highways. Over in Australia the government pays parents $25 for every baby born to them. In this country that would help to pay the doctor. Maybe .Chicago can use Al Capone in helping solve it's financial troubles. Why not put him on exhibition and charge a quarter to look at him. since there seems to be so much excitement over his return. The rain was welcome and the wheat, pasture and lawns needed it.. Farmers state that the wheat has suffered much from the dry i spell, but since the market price is -tm less than a dollar a bushel unfavourite. weather conditions may reart in favor of higher prices. Local stores sell all the extracts, toilet articles and whatever your needs demand, making it unnecessary to patronize house-to-house solicitors. Don't give them your money under the guise of helping an orphan's home, the poor or any other sympathetic cause, because if. .you want to you can help in tßege causes in your own community. If the north banks of the river, along Second street are to be cleared this year, now is the time to look after the job. The weeds should be cut and the grounds cleared of debris and refuse which was washed ashore by the high water. The grounds could be beautified with little expense and since the site forms one of the principle 7 entrances to Decatur, we should • keep our front yard clean and give a good Impression to visitors.

♦ o TODAY’S CHUCKLE • (U ,pj 4 Cohoes, N. Y^—lt was ne - es- | -ary to call firemen to ex- I tlngulsh flames In an electric > piano that has been playing some "hot" tunes at a nickel i a roll In Archie Boudreau's restaurant. Origin of the blaze | was listed as "unknown." » 4> In a ride through the residence districts we noticed several houses being remodeled. Much can be done with an old house and with all the new conveniences and comforts offered by the building, plumbing and heating trades a person can have most anything he is willing to pay for. An investment in a house in Decatur is a safe thing and nothing helps a community any more than modern homes. The Commodores, state Catholic | high school basketball champions, left today for Chicago to enter the National Catholic tourney. The Commodores play their first game with Altoona. Pa., Wednesday night and their friends here know that they are going to win the opener. Chicago papers have carried several stories abodt the tourney, have given the Commodores their -hare of earned honors and as one sport writer remarked, “the tourney couldn't be held if Decatur wasn't represented." With the Commodores in the tournament it's a case of Decatur against the world, as far as Adams county people are concerned and the boys enter the meet with united support of the community. Yea Commodores! Let's win the national championship and thus advertise the good name of Decatur. Census enumerators for Bluffton and Wells county have been named by J. Monroe Fitch, of Muncie, supervisor of the census in the eighth district. Fourteen persons have been named and the job of counting noses will begin April 2. the supervisor announced. Mr. Fitch has not yet announced the list of enumerators for Adams county, but stated last week that the appointments would be made within a few days. The job is an important one and every care should be given to see that every family and individual is included in Adams county's population. Ten years ago Adams county was credited witli a population of 20.503. Decatur's population was given at 4,762 and since that time many families have moved here, being employed in the General Electric, Decatur Castings Company and other plants which located here after 1920. The Chamber of Commerce, civic organizations and individuals can be of assis- j tance to the enumerators in helping them to do the job. o — Army Surgeon Is Held In Wife’s Death Probe Denver, Colo., Mar. 18. — (U.K) — Major Charles A. Shrpard, 59, army surgeon attached to Fitzsimmons hospital here, was held by Federal authorities today on a fugitive warrant from Topeka. Kans. The arrest of the army man last night was in connection with the death of his wife June 15, 1929, at Fort Riley, Kans. Mrs. Shepard is said to have died from poison. Major Shepard was placed under arrest by U. S. Marshal Richard A. Callon, under the direction of department of justice special agents. Federal authorities said the arrest followed an alleged confession of a girl with whom Major Shepard is said to have been friendly. Admissions made by the girl, said to be “somewhere in the south." led to investigation of Mrs. Shepard's death and arrest of her husband, the authorities said. F >nd for Major Shepard was set at $25,009. o Hammond, Ind., (UP) — Ray Swank claims tlie chicken eating ■diamplonship of Hammond. In a contest with Hale Butfd and Frank Hearnsn, he was an easy winner, devouring six of the fowls. — _ o Tobacco Exports Up Belgrade, -I UP) — During the | past six years the export of tobacI co from Jugoslavs has increased almost six-folds, the figure for 1924 I being some 250 tons, for 1929 1000 I tons, and for 1929 almost 1500 tons.

SB mu( |U x I Big kernels in I* f small shells E » * ‘ t e SS IN ADDITION to the advertisements of the big department stores, | tfi of the grocery and hardware stores, c r the millinery, clothing and W T£F $ shoe stores, there is another kind of advertising that is being read KL' ee < B* 1 M| it more and more by readers of this newspaper. That kind of adver- ■ « 50 Mil ai tising is the Classified Columns. ■r- 11 " QJcf tfi A man or woman wants a job. They read the “Help Wanted’’ a cs =i v > Jfi columns and probably insert an advertisement of their own under | “Positions Wanted.” Employer and job seeker soon get together | ffi to the benefit of both. A man may want an automobile — possibly B lll i he cannot afford a new car, so he looks in the “Used Car” columns KX ■fl -^V v ’ and finds just the car at the price he can afford to pav. Some one I 8 has lost a pocketbook, valuable paper or even a pet dog. The “Lost B oc , S and Found” columns, soon bring loser and finder together. | S Ihe Classified Columns are so arranged that any one can readily find what he seeks quickly—business news, machinery and B’!',' ® tools, household goods, horses, dogs, cats, canaries, etc. They en- jfc able you to locate what you are looking for in short order. So in F| S reading advertising do not overlook the classified columns—the in- Bj u . dividual advertisements do not take up much room, but like the B" r meaty nut they may contain a big kernel in a small shell—just for gj you.
