It will'last the week but you should have the old caus and rubbish ready when the trucks come, so don't put off getting ready. l Oil is getting so plentiful now that it blows out of the wells down in before they are ready for it. Tffie explosion at Gladewater, Texas, yesterday cost eight lives and thousands of dollars and whats the use of it all? A recent price survey shows that a dollar bill will buy $1.25 worth as compared to a year ago. which is alright but of course the catch is that you have to have the dollar to take advantage of the opportunities." Another case of an ill wind blowing' good is that of Walt Mason poems for a living. He was ffeld up recently and the bandit B*t twenty dollars from him. Walt writes a poem about it and sells it for tw'o hundred. Now who paid the freight in that case? Virgil Kirkland, the Gary youth t ehaTg&d with the murder of his sweetheart is taking a gambler’s chance, choosing a new trial with the electric chair as a possible punishment to life imprisonment. Whether he wins or loses he will always know that it pays to be decent and live a straight life. Its always a wise precaution to lock your car when you leave it parked for any length of time. An unusual number of car thefts are varJibw being reported and one way to w lessen that is for every one to use “ a little care which means locking “ your car when you leave it.

yesterday, its the old story but it seems that a certain number just have to go on until they reach the point this killer did. Os course he '• probably feels that life in prison is », preferable to the chair, which is what he would have gotten if tried in most any other state. r Mayor Cermak of Chicago seems to he starting on the right course v j to cleuu up Chicago. He lias notl- ) tied the picture and stage shows j that gang plays will not be permiti ted. These films have been attract 1 J Ing large crowds tlie past year or I two and no doubt have inspired many a young man to get himself a gat and go out after what he calls easy money. I One of our rouders lias sent us a story "Good Advice From London," with some comments of her own, which we are glad to publish in our “Peoples Voice" column. It contains a lot of wisdom and some facts that we ought to all read over and over until we have learned them and then brace up and go after things again. Os course we are going to lick this old depression and be happy again. Much of the depression is inside of us and its time to get rid of it. We have no way of telling just how much the famous or infamous Hawley-Smoot tariff bill hurt this country, coming as it did just when we needed the good will from every nation in the world blit we are convinced and we believe most every one else is, that it didn't do any good. Why not modify it immediately and see whether that won’t help the present economic conditions? Many manufacturers feel it would and they have in the past been tlie greatest adherents of tariff laws. It may be the “nigger in the wood pile.’’ A petition is being circulated here addressed to The Anderson Construction Company, asking that they employ Decatur labor for construction of the new federal building. which is certainly right and just. Tlie government is spending millions of dollars to aid the unemployment situation and it was taken for granted that this would mean employment of local men. Now it is understood that outsiders are to do tlie greatest part of the work. Naturally tlie local men feel they should have first chance and they are making a legitimate fight to get the jobs. They deserve the heartiest support of every citizen. Advertising is a means of pointing out ways of doing better work, living more comfortably, spending money more wisely, enjoying better | Health, making a better appearance, I gaining more profit, of getting more ■ satisfaction out of life generally. | That it is sometimes misused is no 'argument against it. We do not i condemn ail automobiles because there is a percentage of rpckless drivers. The American standard of living was created by advertisi ing. It will be maintained by advertising. If all advertising were discontinued, the country would * sink into the most profound period of business depression ever known. Advertising is the most powerful torce now operating to pull us out of present depression. — Attica Ledger-Tribune. —o I ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two ♦ «♦ 1. —Tennis. 2.

Say | "I have read, with much interest, i the hook that you gave me." Often mispronounced: Knead. Pronounce "need;” the k is silent. Often misspelled: Wrest, to twist, Distinguish from rest. Synonyms: Diligent, industrious, as.thluous, active, attentive, per* serving. Word study: "Use a word three times and it is yours.” Let us ini rease our vocabulary by mastering | one word each day. Today's word: Rampant; unchecked; exuberant in j ggrowth or spread. “Superstition j was rampant." o Groom “Flustered” More Than Bride At Ceremony i Fort Wayne, Ind., April f). —{U.P.> j —Promises to "love, honor and obey" fluster the groom mote often than the bride, a majority of pastors here replied when questioned regarding the composure of couples at wedding ceremonies. One answered that both were equally "de--1 Hghtfully nervous." Dr. Charles H. Smith, pastor of ! the First M. E. church, laid the 'groom's nervousness to realization of the importance of the step. "He 1 seems morp conscious of the serliousness of the ceremony,” Dr. ‘Smith said. “All the bride has to do is say "yes" while the groom has several sentences to repeat after the minister.” “Any kind ot ceremony always makes the man more nervous,” said the Rev. A. P. Wilson, pastor ot the First Christian church. “This i“ true at baptisms and funerals as well as weddings,” the Rev. Wilson ‘ commented. A change in the marriage ceremony was urged by Dr. F. H. Rtipnow, pastor of St. John's Reformed church. “I believe the ceremony should be more direct so as to impress more strongly the seriousness of the event. This would have a tendency to prevent so many divorces,” Dr. liupnow said. — o Matrimonially Speaking Marriage is a great institution. But so is the penitentiary.—Amer lean Magazine.

It expresses my thought about present conditions. Tilings are bad enough of course, ; but I trink most ot the American people are Just reaping what they 1 have sown. If we would liave been wise, we would have laid aside for a rainy day when money was plentl- | ful and came easy. The thing didn’t I last and now we are all on a grouch and blaming the other fellow for j our condition. We ourselves have had big iossI ee, but the sun still shines on [ God’s side of the cold and the future looks bright. Life is queer witli its twists and turns, as everyone of us some time learns; And many a failure turns about, when he might have won, had he stuck it out; Don't give up, though tlie place seems slow, you may win out with another blow; Success is failure turned inside out; the silver tint of the cloud of doubt; . Aud you uever cau tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight, when you're hardest hit; it's when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit. ; -Mrs. Charles Andrews, Route 2. Following is the article: Good Advice From London It isn’t often that the American! business man receives good advice from other'eountries; but here is an exception. Herbert N. Casson, editor of Efficiency Magazine, London, has addressed a message to the business men of the United States that is too good to deny every opportunity of publication. It is so direct and so impressive in its application to present conditions iu Tampa and Florida as elsewhere throughout the nation, that we are reprinting it in full. Mr. Casson said; You are depressed. You think Jyou are crippled. You are full of fears. You have half of the gold of the world and half the machinery and most of the automobiles and all of the skyscrapers. You have the greatest home markets in the world and the largest corporations that the world has ever seen. You are ruled more by ideas and i less by tradition than any other j people in tlie world. You have usu- i ally done what you thought you! could do. How can it be possible that a I progressive nation of 120,000,000 j people can be wrecked by the speculations of a little handful of fools! in Wall Street? Prices that were forced too high had to come down. Today all the prices are too low. There Is now a golden opportunity for every man who has eyes to see it. Dollars are now being sold for! 30 cents. Practically every secur-| ity in the United States is now lie ! ing sold at less than its value.

The way to create a fortune is to buy from pessimists. Pay your money and take the ris!:. Frick started his career by buying coke ovens in the slump of 1873. Carnegie made $100,000,000 buying steel plants in slumps. Hundreds of fortunes have been made by buying from pessimists. Ye Gods! What a chance there is at this moment! * In five years from now most American business men will belong to the "I-wish-I-Had-Club.’’ Then it will lie too late to buy a dollar tor 30 cents. The opportunities will be gone. When a horse balks, the balk is in his head, not in his legs. He moves on when he thinks he will. And when an American business man is depressed, the slump is in ltis head. There is nothing serious to prevent him from making money if he thinks he will. / When fear rules the will nothing can be done, but when a man casts fear out of his mind the world becomes his oyster. To lose a bit of money is nothing.'but to lose hope—that is what
