' The boys are shooting marbles wgleh doesn’t mean ihat spring is . hqTe but that the weather is somewhat unusual for the middle of winter. There were 32,500 deaths in Indiana because of motor vehicle accidents and the sad part of it is that most of them could have be -n averted by proper care. There is this encouragemt nt for tie average citizen —no difference what lie is doing the business of 1931 ought to look fairly good as compared to that of 1930. The matron of a New York night club.jvho was wearing red pajamas when^,arrested the other evening must have felt terribly embarrassed. General Pershing does things, h? not only fights well but writes well. Did you ever, notice that usually the man who does one thing better than the average can do many other things almost as well? That Illinois man who is paying, fifty per cent interest on loans and still making money might give his secret to the world for he is certainly in a class by himself these days. Our advice would be to stick to your six per cent investments. Virgil Simmons knows the workings of the legislature and within twenty-four hours after his arrival there will be perfectly at home and capable of doing those thing? which best represent this district. That means something for there ar? some very important matters to be decided. It is claim'd that cows can be fed sawdust, properly prepared, and ineroas- the milk flow. Nowlook what we did by destroying the forests. The dairyman could just have gone out and cut down a few oaks and his supply of winter food for the herd would have been taken care of.

WOMEN OFTEN PAY A DOUBLE PENALTY for Swearing this gag of unselfishness or silly pride. Profuse or suppressed menstruation should never be considered necessary. Painful periods are Nature’s warning that something is wrong and needs immediate attenbutter in tion. Failure to heed and correct the first painful symptoms usually leads to chronic conditions with sometimes fearful consequences.

The Chamber of Commerce is making an effort to secure several now industries here and will leave nothing undone. This is a time when the greatest care must be exercised and the boys are doing ’ that before they make any deals. ; Have patience with them and when they do decide in favor of some- ' thing get back of them and push. We do not know Mr. Meyers, the republican nominee for representative but so tar as we have learned he has no special qualification? that should send him to Indianapolis at this time. His opponent, Mr. Simmons, knows the members of the legislature and bow things are done, and will if elected step right in to the midst of those who are controlling affairs of importance. There is much talk about taxes just now and what legislation can be enacted to more equally distribute same and to protect the 'owners of real estate. We are, 1 sure that every member of the ' house and senate is awake to this crying need and that the leaders . will do their best to accomplish 'something along that line. In a I few days the bills will be present-led—-and there will be a number of | them—and it se-nis to us the thing !to do is to decide upon that which j Ils best for every one and then get | behind the law makers who favor j such a bill and help them put it through. If we all have a different idea, there is danger we will get no where. ( The suggestion by the republi- ( cans of Wells county that we P should not elect a representative because of the cost, brought many < a smile, coming as it did from ( ri preseutatives of a political party which has squandered billions iu the state and nation the past few years. As Mr. Lutz said the other evening, the cost of electing a member of the legislature in Adams and Wells county will probably exceed what Governor Leslie Spent to renovate Snd disinfect the executive mansion when the former governor moved out. ] We all regret the necessity of a 1 special election, but under the law there is nothing else to do and the suggestion appeared as a rather flimsy political trick. Why all the economy at this time? o ( ♦ ■ * Modern Etiquette i 1 E * i . j ROBERTA LEE • (UR) ♦ , Q.

I The question of decreasing the number of senators and representatives was brought before the 18X1 assembly in a resolution by Senator Kakle, inquiring into the expedien< y of reducing the number of senators to 30 and representatives to 60. It is provided also for a fixed salary for each legislator. A resolution by Senator Bundy provided for legalizing the incorporation of the town of Newcastle, Henry county. A constitutional convention composed of 150 representatives was provided in a bill introduced by repi ese native Hinton of Marion county. Under terms of the bill, the question would have been votes! 1 upon in October 1881. and the con- ; vention held in December. i A state public school for depen- . dent children was provided in one : bill Introduced. , . o I Get the Habit—Trade at Home.

NO MORE HORSE - LAUGH I REMEMBER what our school books taught us about the lives of inventors who lived many years ago? How often we used to read, “He went on with his experiments in spite of the laughter of his friends, and the ridicule of his neighbors.” How different is the modern state of mind! This age is remarkable for its keen awareness of progress .. the eager willingness of most of us to accept new th mgs, and better ways. The skeptical person is the exception—expectancy is the rule. If we read about an invention that will wash the middle of our backs, we say, “Fair enough; tomorrow there will be an automatic way to keep our noses powdered.” % New things and better ways are announced regularly in this paper ... in the advertisements Every day you may be expecting something that will make your life easier, pleasanter, more healthful. Possibly a new electrical contrivance, or a car that’s easier to drive, or a new idea in breakfast foods Follow the advertising columns ... and sooner or later you L get the good news. People who make it a point to know what s going on read the advertisements every day. Decatur Daily Democrat
