Advertising is the best method known to drive away pessimism. Shake yourself merchants and help make up for lost time. The business is here. Get your share. Chicago is demanding a new police force and it seems they are not acting any too soon. When six or seven murders a day is not even an unusual story its certainly time for some action. W 11 here’s another week after about as hectic one as the oldest citizens h re can remember. Everybody came up smiling this morning after a day of rest and reaction and we are sure felt better. After all Sunday is a great day. Yesterday was Father's day and wh ther he said so or not dad enjoyed receiving a pat on the back and a cheery good morning or a red neck tie. These days may not amount to much but after all it would be a" drab old world if we banished sentiment all together. The merchant who deserves to do business in these days is an advertiser and right now of all times you should tell the folks about your store and what you have in it. Many people are anxious to buy and will do so if you attract them to your store. Even the larger cities have their share of bad luck. Now there's Chicago up against the same proposition as last spring, broke flat. Unless the state legislature comes to their relief by July Ist, the city employes will bo out of luck for their pay checks and there are more than 40.000 of them. Sometimes we wish our city would grow but there seems to be a good many citizens in Chicago that they are welcome to keep. Some times a community is better off without some who go to make up a large industrial center. After all its not the size that makes a town good, its the quality. We don't believe any one will lose their mon y by the temporary AT THEtj Country dub —it is easy to detect the face powder complexion in comparison with the fascinating, lasting beauty rendered by Gouraud’s Oriental Cream.

The state bank officials who are here under Mr. Barr are acting in a courteous manner and are making every effort to protect the funds and to guide the officials in such away us to give to the people the largest return of their We are sincerely hoping that thebanks forced to close because of the unnecessary anxiety of the people of the community may soon be reorganized and reopened. No city in the middle west has boasted of better financial institutions, and a little assistance from the public would have made it possible for them to have continued. We are not criticizing for we believe the people who rushed the doors acted in good faith but we know they were wrong in judgment. It is needless to say that every one here regretted the necessity of closing the People’s Loan & Trust company to protect the depositors. The action was taken by the board of directors upon the advice of Mr. T. D. Barr, deputy state bank commissioner because it was believed the run would not cease otherwise. The bank was one of th? soundest small institutions in the state, well managed and a credit to the community. Its officers will do every thing in their power to pay one hundred cents on the dollar and to reopen if properly encouraged. And now comes the big test of the community. Are we really worth the name given for that great naval Commander Stepiien Decatur? If we are we will smile and work a little harder and go forward. Sometimes those things which seem calamities really make cities. We remember many years ago when half the business section of the town was destroyed by fire and many bemoaned the fact that we were ruined, but from that catastrophe came a block of brick buildings to take the place of the old frames and the town was within a few months better than ever. Be a real Decatur booster now. We would certainly hate to take the responsibility that a few republican leaders are on the tariff law which is to increase the burden of taxes in this country millions of dollars annually. It looks like about the worst thing that could be done for we doubt that it can possibly help a single industry. Certainly the people are in no mood to add to the profits of a few at the expense of all the people at a time when we are trying to cut exp-uses in every way possible to make ends meet. We await the answer of a down trodden public with interest. And we predict they will give that answer in unmistakable manner next November. o Logic in Argument ladcester.

Police Have Hard Job Marion, Ind., June 16 —(U.R)— Police officials today were faced with the problem of identifying the dismembered corpse, of finding the missing head, of the body which was found in Seegar creek, near here last October. Identification must be established in order to prove that Edward Blotz. 58, killed Thomas Tucker, 60. Blotz has been indicted by the, grand jury of first degree murder charges and is in jail awaiting trial. Farm lands, creeks and territory for miles around are being searched by authorities. According to a statement of Blotz’ son Charles, 26, the father killed Tucker during an argument over a woman and then buried the body beneath his home. The son said he aided his father in disinterring the body and hiding it in the creek. The elder Blotz has denied the charge and his son’s statement. Attorneys have expressed doubt that the case against Blotz can be proven without the head. u Dies in Rescue Attempt Oxford —(UP) —Frederick Geo. Bull, a laborer, discovered a farmer wounded in a field Larded by two dogs, was bitten when he attempted to drive the dogs off, ran to a village for assistance and died in his son’s arms from valvular disease of the heart, caused by the strain of the run. _O English Humor London —(UP) —A broker who entered Lloyd's wearing plus-fours received first whistles and cat-calls then wads of paper, rugs mats and other missies, and was carried from the chamber when he pulled a cap out of his pocket and clapped it on his head.

1930 EUROPEAN TRAVELERS NEED NEW GEOGRAPHY Many Cities’ Names Have Changed Recently, Survey Reveals Washington, Juhe 16. — 'U.R) Travelers through Europe this summer will almost have to learn their geogritphy over again, so numerous have been the recent changes in names of foreign cities, a survey revealed today. A visitor to the famous old town where Charlemagne held court as Emperor of the Franks back in the ninth century would find that instead of Aix-la-Chapelie, the spot now is known a's Aachen. A trip down the Rhine, past the great grape vineyards to the city where America's Army of Occupation was billeted would find the Journeyer in Koln and not Cologne, as he learned it in school. Crossing the Dardenells into Turkey, the wanderer would have to learn new names for two of t the largest Turkish cities, Constantinople and Angora, seat of Mustapha Kemal's government. The town over which a song was written not so long ago has been officially changed to*lstanbul, while the capital is recognized now under the spelling Ankara. Gallipoli, scene of Britain's terrific campaign to break through Turkey's forces- to Russia, also has come under the nomenclature upheaval, having been changed to Gelibolu by Kemal's administration. The Soviet government also has done its bit to add to the geographical puzzle, changing Petrograd to Leningrad, in honor of the famous “Red” leader, and Tzarityn to Stalingrad. Monnat ir. storm center of the Balkan front during the World war has been renamed Bitolj, and Belgrade. one-time capital of Serbia and now capital of Yougqslavia, has been remaned Beograde. In Asia, on? finds that Peking, former Chinese capital which was stormed by American and British troops during the Boxer rebellion, has become known as Peping or Peiping. The capita! since has
been moved to Nanking. Then too the wanderer abroad has > another difficulty to overcome, an ever-increasing tendency on the part of European nations to revert | to the old historical ways of spell-1 ing cities’ names. Christiana, Norway, is now Oslo;] Helsinki has replaced Helsingfors in Finland; Warsaw has given way, to the old form, Warszawa; and Prague now is known as Praha. | Here is a list of recent changes,! first giving the old name, then the, new name and the country In I which it is located. Among the other principal! changes made since the World I war are: Durazzo. Durres, Albania. Koritza, Gorytza, Korce, Albania. Scutari, Shkoder, Albania. Phllippopolis, Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Brunn.
