Read the announcements In the ! -- Daily Democrat this week. They j will be good. Those twenty city mayors who are touring Europe are not making suctr~a hit if press reports are to be believerl. They have made all kinds of bad breaks and seem to just lie out on a party. Thursday and Friday of this week will be big trading days in Decatur tor on those days almost every local merchant Is offering special inducements that will interest the buyers of this section. Read the advertisements this week and profit accordingly. Getting over the hard times is •pretty much an individual matter. Keep your eyes open, work as hard as you can. help yourself out of the hole and the first thing we know we will all be riding on the waves of prosperity and that's about the only way it can happen. Virgil Kirkland, gambling a life sentence received in his former trial for the murder of his sweetheart against death in the electric chair with a chance of going scott free, will soon know his fate. Every known effort has been made and its now up to the jury. Forty racing cars will start at the Indianapolis speedway Saturday in tiie annual race which is the derby for auto racing in this country and more than a hundred thousand will cheer them as they get away. Its always a thriller and those who attend get their money’s worth if they like that kind of sport. The wheat conference ended in l a draw as most every one thought it would. There is an over supply of wheat and a division as to whether its wise to raise more wheat at a lower price or limit the production and thus hope to boost the world basic price. It will go j on as it has for hundreds of years, i controlled by the supply and de- i mand. — — Many expert business men, including Charlie Schwab and Roger Babson have proclaimed that hard * times are over and that we are on the up-grade. We hope its so but' we Eave about made up our minds’ that they really don't know much! about it. Mr. Vander lip of New Yorjt came nearer hitting the truth when he said the depression would be over three months before he - knevV it. One Dose German Remedy Ends Gas “I was sick aud nervous with indigestion and stomach gas. One dose of Adlerika helped. I eat anything now and sleep good.”— Henry Dodd. You can't get lid of indigestion or gas by just doctoring the stomach. For gas stays in the UPPER bowel. Adlerika reaches BOTH upper and lower bowel, washing out poisons winch cause gas, nervousness and ba<l sleep. Get Adleriika today; by tomorrow you feel the wonderful effect o’ this German Doctor's remedy. B. J. Smith Drug Co.

The commencement exercises for the St. Mary's Catholic high school of this city will occur Friday evening, at which time twenty-one ■ young men and women will receive diplomas. Rev. J. A. Hennes will • deliver the address. Our congratulations are advanced to the class ■ and to the faculty upon thia occasion. This Is the ninth graduation ( of tile high school which has grown I in every way each year since it 1 started. i So far there has been no indica-; ' tion that any organization here will ■ foster the proposed "Then ami ' Now’’ celebration of the Fourth of July, thus also observing the 60th anniversary of the corner stonei laying for the Adams county court house, although we have had a number of people ask us concerning it with a showing of interest that we are sure eould be promoted. If its to be done, preliminary steps should be taken at once. ■ There are some real indications | that the Decatur sugar plant will ibe going again next year. For [twenty years now' this institution has been a real part of this community and we don't mind saying that we miss it and will miss it more next autumn and winter. We are also sure that this community will do any thing within reason to cooperate with those in charge, that the big plant may be reopened and this market again made available for the beet growers. Governor Leslie and the other, boys around the statehouse are as I happy as a youngster at Christmas time, over the outlook for the state receiving about four million dolloras this year from the chain store tax. The bill was passed by the 1929 legislature and even the Governor had either forgotten it or given up all hopes of it being held good when along comes the supreme court and surprises them with the decision that the law is good. Now they are getting all “hot and bothered’’ about collecting for three years as soon as possible. And they sure do need the money around the state house for the last j legislature increased the appro-, priations about five million dollars ' and they are broke. u Modern Etiquette By | ROBERTA LEE ♦- (U.R) ♦ Q.
