Only a couple of more days to worry about the legislature and then W'e can begin worrying about what they did. Now they are passing as many bills a day in the legislature as they did during the whole seven weeks pVior to this. Its this grand finale that ought to be avoided some way. How things do change witli the times. Twenty years ago big utilities were fighting and bribing their way into cities with traction lines and now they are figuring every possible way to get out of them. The citizen of Decatur who inrests no thought or effort in the improva'ment of his home town, can t expect his home town to return him any dividends of increased prosperity. We hope you are reading the advertisements in the Daily Democrat. They are messages of momentous interest to you at this particular tima, for they tell you where and when you can get the most for your money. The budget bill as passed by the house did reduce the total appro-: priation by about half a million dollars which isn’t as much as was I hoped for but is a heck of a lot better than most sessions do. Its so unusual to have a decrease that a half million seems like a great relief. Stroifß banks, conducted in a safe and sane and business like manner, with courteous treatment to. every one. is a fine thing for auy community and more than that a necessity for these cities which are to go ahead. Decatur has them and we.are prepared to move forward in this city, rapidly and to the bes). interests of every one. Carolina Woman Lost 47 Lbs. In 3 Months and Feels Years Younger "I have b-en taking Kruschen Salt fQ.r nearly 3 months. 1 have continued taking one teaspoonful in warm water every morning. I tljbn weighed 217 pounds, was alvw»ys bothered with pains in my back and lower part of abdomen autl sides. I am glad to say I am a well woman, feel much stronger, years younger and my weight is 17b pounds. I do not only feel litter but I look better, so all my friends say. ”*T hall never be without Krus- < hen Salts, will never cease taking n»y daily dose and more than glad to highly recommend it for the great, good that is in it." Mrs. s. A- Solomon, New Bern, N. C.„ Jan. 1930.’’ "P. S. You may think 1 am exaggerating by writing such ti long letter but truly I feel so indebted to you for putting out such wonderful salts that 1 cannot say enough."

Another test of Decatur’s water has proven it to boos such unusual hardness that no softener on the market will do the work and spec- ■ ial engineers have so reported. It may be hard but its better tasting ■ than any we know of and we have stood it a good many years with- ’ out very serious results. The Wickersham reports says j * ' i local government has completely 1 broken down in Chicago and other I Illinois cities where the gangsters ’ absolutely control things and operi i ate as they see fit, which is perhaps not us much news as it would be if they were to tell us just how it is to be corrected, which was. supposed to have been their job. The first congress is over. They may have delayed some things but as the clocks tolled twelve yesterday noon, pages stopped in their tracks, the speaker and the vicepresident sounded their gavels and President Hoover, it is claimed stopped work with his pen in midair. Whatever the record, good, 1 bad or Indifferent, it is written and we must live under it. By a vote of two to one. 2,518 to 1.264. Huntington has decided to do away with daylight saving time. They have been having troubles over the question annually and have now decided it by the ballot. We understood the house had passed a bill fixing Central Standard as the official time for Indiana but evidently it got lost somewhere over in the senate. This seems to be an era of terrible literature. There are a ■ number of late books that are ex- , cellent but many of the modern ; novels and a dozen magazines eon- 1 tain stories that should not be read by any one between the ages of fifteen and a hundred. If we are to correct some of the ills of ; the present age a good way would be to prevent the publication of some of the filthy stories now being published. Z J- : -~- ketball teams of Adams! county will meet here this weekend for the annual tourney, anl event always of more than passing interest. The winner will represent the county in the Fort Wayne tournament. Every team in the county is an excellent one and each community is proud of the boys that will represent them. It 1 will be an exciting session and fans will gather by the hundreds. To all we bid welcome and to the I teams we can only repeat: play hard, play clean, give all you have and may the best team WIN. I The repeal of the primary makes it mandatory only in counties having more than fifty thousand population to hold a convention and the otther eighty of Indiana can do that or hold a primary as we please. There is some question as to whether we ought to stand the expense of a primary, at least for a campaign or two, the nominations might be made by convention with good results. The objection to a continued plan of conventions is that a few men soon gain control but we do not believe that condition would exist here, at least for some time. o TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File ♦ 0 March 5. 1911 was Sunday.

It also was pointed out that fraud could more easily be avoided at one poll than at several.
