JSB President Hoover is right in re- 1 fusing to call a special session of I congress unless he has in mind a 1 definite program that would aid in ' a return "of prosperity. < — ... t The crops look fine and we are j least convinced that there is no f danger of st.-frving in this country the next year or two. We are in a land of plenty and that’s a big t something. t — ( You still have time to take ad- , vantage of the offers the various ( stores in Decatur are making this , week. Take advantage of tlie Doi- ( lar Day specials. I Admiral Byrd says he is going a hack to the South Pole. That's disappointing fcr a lot of folks thought he might locate an east and , west pole since he hits been so successful with the North and South. — ——— s Compare the Nirdlinger case re- 1 cent'.y tried in Paris with similar ' cases in Indiana and you will notice quite a difference. The St. ' I Louis beauty was arraigned, the jury selected, evidence heard anil [ the arguments made all in one day It took three weeks to get a jury i , in tne Kirkland case. I : ■ ii < Dollar Days are here again and buyers have the opportunity to secure many genuine bargains in the Decatur stores today and tomorrow. This paper has during the past several days carried many announcements that should be of interest to every person in this trad ' ing area.' If you h ve missed them, get the paper ana go over it again. The state will improve more than two miles of the highway between here and Berne, the contract to be let early next month, thus completing the hard surfacing of Federal and state highway No. 27. _ through Ibis c/unty. It. t few years every main road in the middle west ' will be of cement or black top and we will be able to travel in every direction throe hundred and sixtyfive days a year. China has advanced a new one that may help to solve the tax ' muddle ip this country. They have gone jazz mad over there and a tax of one dollar is imposed on each person who indulges in the light fantastic step. Just think how much money could be raised if eveyy person from the ’teen.v to the octogenarian had to produce a tax receipt for one dollar before they 1 could step on the polished floor.

and few people will be found who will support the verdict of one to ten years. If Kirkland assaulted his sweetheart then he contributed most probably to her death and a few months in prison is certainly slight punishment for so grave a crime. It Is to be regretted but it seems to go well with the period of crime wave and reckless living. The Daily Democrat appreciates the patronage of the splendid merchants of Decatur the past several days. We hope every store doos the business to which it is entitled and we are of the sincere opinion I hat cooperative effort such as you have made this week is sure to result in good. Pep is the thing we all need and a hundred stores working together will surely create that more speedily than when you do it alone. Let's keep moving. Its so much better for every one. The cabinet held a meeting with Mr. Hoover presiding. The purpose was to hear a report from each and to decide just what the condition in this country is. Having finished they reported in a very brief fashion that it is satisfactory. We presume it is for them but we had an idea that they were to take in some of the territory outside of the District of Columbia. In most other places it has been quite unsatisfactory. Tiler? can be little question about the controversy, if there is one, as to what labor should be employed on tne postoffice building here. It was the idea of congressmen and every one connected with the administration that local labor be employed at the prevailing wage scale. This has not been done here and it is important that those at Washington who have the power, see that the plan is enforced here. And in that connection it should be added that one of the most important things about it is that action should be taken immediately and not after the work has been largely completed. Already the local brick masons and others have been idle several weeks and each day is that much taken from them. Lets have some speed.

Ohio (UP)—The skel j Jton of a man. who perhaps lived I ocg before Columbus touched the I ho.es of America, was found recently in a gravel pit on a nearby ; farm. The curiosity was discovered by | W. S. Barringer, Lima an amateur! anthi apologist, under 12 feet of earth. In bis study of the skeleton. Barrigger discovered that it could not have been that of a North American Indian. This was indicated in the .act that the cheek bones were not well defined. Yet the skull did not indicate that the man was a member either of the ahitfi. or black races. Barringer said he had two reasons for believing the man might lave belonged to a migrating race vhich came to Ohio from California-1 SOO to 1,000 years ago. One was that in the g,rave were found numerous shells, evidently ised as florgetes, which Bar: Inger said were found only on the California coast and on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The second was that the front teeth in the lower jaw were crosswise. Recently road builders near Redding Cal. uncovered. under i 20 feet of lava, the grave® of a race which had this characteristic. magT ey news Mrs. Charles Dettinger and her; daughter Mrs. G. F.
