Schirmeyer, who for half a century has been active in the business and civic life of this community ei|d we mourn his passing. For years he was engaged in the abstract and loan business, was an officer and director of the Old Adams County Bank, served as secretary and manager of the Citizen's Telephone' Company, the German Building and Loan Association and held numerous positions of honor and trust. He was able, competent, courteous, always a gentleman and ever willing to assist his community. As the secretary of the Citizen's committee, he had charge of the lot sale some twenty-three years ago for the purpose of raising money and securing industries. He did his work splendidly and carried the blunt, of that important task. During "the Wcrld War Mr. Schirmeyer servWl as chairman of two Liberty Loinr campaigns which were completely successful and for which "he received much commendation — frouKstate and national authorities. I His ability as an organizer was "•frequently demonstrated as in 1912 when he served as chairman of the .committee which gave the Old Home Week celebration, one of „.the happiest events in his life and .that of thousands of Adams county * "folks. He loved his community and his advice was for many years • sought in various matters. He - assisted frequently in the settle—ment of estates here and elsewhere and was held in the highest esteem . , by those who knew him best. In his passing, this community “loses one of her leaders, a splendid "citizen who has helped in many ways to make this a better place in which to live, who had opinions >• and stood for them and who will be missed in the future when efforts • • are being made to accomplish things for the general interest. • His life was clean and we shall -remember him always as a man of , character, ability and community . loyalty. His death has saddened 'many hearts. w * — Martin F. Worthman celebrated his birthday anniversary and the beginning of his twenty-fifth year . as a teacher and principal and ’ superintendent of the Decatur high school by giving a party to the teachers and school officials. It _ was a fine event and every one en- ■*- joyed it to the limit. Among those present was George Cole, state - superintendent of public instruc- — • tion and a personal friend of the

local man. Os course a lot of fine things were said but modesty in the presence of dear old Mart prevented them saying all they felt. A fourth of a century Is a long time and Mr. Worlhman has worked hard at his job. He has not only taught the boys and girls during school hours but he has advised them afterwards. followed their careers and guided many of them to success. He shares their Joys and sorrows and helps them In away that only one can do who loves his Job. We don’t wish you any bad luck, Mart old boy, but we are hoping you may continue right on until time to celebrate your golden anniversary as a school man here. Judge Erwin has handed down a decision that the five-sixths verdict Isw, passed by the 1929 legislature of Indiana, is unconstitutional. We are just old fashioned enough to rather feel gratified over the decision for since time began it has been the rule that it requires the agreed verdict of twelve of our peers to bind and to lessen that right seems to us to be taking something away. In due time the Supreme court of the state will pass on the case but Judge Erwin’s opinion seems sound enough to have the approval of the higher court. A committee representing the Decatur Chamber of Commerce will go to Indianapolis tomorrow to urge action on the roads in this locality. They will ask that the road between here and Willshire be taken over, that No. 16 be paved from here west and that No. 27' north of here be resurfaced. That’s a lot to ask perhaps but its all due us and we believe the visit of the committee will start action which will produce all three of the improvements. Huntington has solved the roller skating problem by roping off a block of paved street, two or three nights a week, where the youngsters may gather and enjoy themselves without danger from passing cars. Its unsafe for the children to skate on the streets where traffic is permitted and its unsafe for pedestrains for the youngsters too use the sidewalks for their sport. The Huntington plan seems to-be about the only way to solve it and remember the boys and girls are entitled to some consideration. G. Hall Roosevelt who is chairman of the city relief committee of Detroit lived one week on $1.75 which is the amount allowed each * of the thousands of unemployed there. He made it alright and said a man can exist on it and of course he could for a week but we feel sure that if he has to do it for months he would get mighty tired of soup for lunch and beef stew for dinner. The city council is on the right track when they secure the advice and assistance of engineers to map out the work of distribution here j' electrioity. New lines must be installed and soon and it is highly proper that this be done in the manner best over a period of years. The present action which gives a definite plan to work out in the next several years is most commendable. The one and only way to cure that tired feeling that most of us have this time of year is to close the old desk, grab a fish pole or a camera and go out and look the big outdoors over. And boy thats some fine medicine to take. You will come back with more faith in God and in yourself and will be able Ito do twice as much In the same length of time as you can if you sit and dr ig <t out on the job. One man told us the other day that he is really enjoying present jconditions because he is getting a thrill out of beating the game. Well most of us don't care for the brand 'of thrills we have been having the i past year but after all the way this man looks at it is probably the [best. If you laugh at thq world I jits not nearly so iiard. I

PROBE STRANGE DEATH OF GIRL Diary And List of Suitors Found as Only Clue to Strange Murder San Diego, Calif., April 21.—(U.R) —The past life of 17-year-old Louise Teuber was investigated today by authorities as they questioned men she Imd known in an effort to learn who stripped away her clothing and left her almost nude body hanging from an oak tree on lonely Black Mountain. Two brief letters and a dairy yielded the names of more than 20 men, including sailors and Marines and youths she met at the night high school she attended when she was not W'orking in a flve-and-ten cent store. Sheriff Ed Cooper questioned a score of these men yesterday and last night. He still was unable to find any motive on which to base his investigation. The persons Miss Teuber was known to have been with when she was last seen Saturday night furnished strong alibis, Cooper said. At midnight Saturday, autopsy surgeons said, she was struck a heavy blow behind the left ear and her body suspended by a rope. Death resulted from strangulation, doctors said. Bits of what was believed to be human skin and flesh were found beneath the girl’s finger nails by Coroner Chester Gunn, leading Cooper to believe she had severely scratched her killed.

That reason is clearly evident in this letter from Mr. Medaris: “I had head colds all the-time; couldn’t break them up with the usual cold treatments. My bowels were constipated And hard to move. 1 had sour stomach, gas pains, bloating and a poor appetite. I read about Syenol in the paper and started using it shortly after. It did all that was claimed for it. I got almost immediate relief from sour stomach and gas pains, and bloating disappeared. I have less colds now and believe that Syenol will check any further danger. I recommend it to everybody." This case of Mr. Medaris is typical of the relief Syenol can bring you. The very fact that Syenol is a scientific comlijnation of only a few valuable medicines, all of which are known to accomplish the most good, indicates the groat help it will bring nature in restoring you to vigorous health. Start today and note how much better you feel even within a few days, it contains no opiates, narcotics or liarmful drugs, so you can take it with confidence. Syenol can be secured at Holtbouse Drug Co., and other good drug stores,

N. D„ early Monday. The king and queen remained on the platform for four minutes waving to the photographers and the small crowd. His Majesty appeared to be in good health. The queen, in a black satin coat with a black fur collar, smiled and waved, ditesting some of her greeting to the pupils of a negro school across the street, who all played hookey and shouted a greeting to the royal pair. The pupils ignored several calls from the bell to see the royal train. The Root street yards are In the heart of the black belt and many of the spectators were negroes. The king and queen were greeted by William Nathan MacChesney, Siamese consul general here, and representatives of Mayor Anton J. Cermak. The welcome was 'rd in a strange scene for royalty because the king had been ill and the official greeting of the city was called off on that account. The special train was switched from the Soo Line to the New York Central on which the journey continues today and tonight with arrtival scheduled at Scarboro, N. Y., about 10:30 a. tn., EST. tomorrow. The royal train was brought to a halt on an elevated track in the middle of the Pullman car washing yards. Railroad crews stopped their work to see the king and
