Another month of this kind of weather and we ll begin to believe that the old weather man sure got the seasons mixed up. Sooner or later we’ll all realize that our salvation lies within our own shores and then we ll get together and hoop ’er up. It seems that the republican papers do not want Mr. Hoover to run. nor do they favor Mr. Baker. Governor Roosevelt, Governor Ritchie. Just can't please them. These are times when your dollar will purchase those things which you always wanted and still leave you a little for spending money. We didn't know until the other day that Gandhi had a wife and her arrest is proof that she has been too busy to look after her husband's wardrobe. An editorial paragrapher wrote the other day that Hoover will at least be remembered as the man who started a one-year holiday that lasted forever. Although it would mean a great saving to merge the army and navy departments, curtail expenses and preparations for future war, it is doubtful if congress passes the consolidation bill. Besides it would leave one cabinet appointment vacant and that's something for the politicians to consider. When a committ.ee of two can’t agree on a program for tax relief, Low do you expect a special session of the legislature to adopt a plan? It the special session were called it would take most of the time in trying to reach an agreement and then it would he too late to do anything worth while. Don’t worry about your own business slipping or not being up to the 1928 or 1929 peak. The railroads were short about eight million car loadings last year and look at the captains of industry who manage them. Maybe it they adCOLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA Per»i»tent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion. an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forma of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the Wood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the svttem after colds or flu. Monev refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist (adv.)

vertised, showing the advantages of freight service and at the same time speeded up delivery, their worries might be lessened. We don't want to pass judgment r - on a fellow before he has been givt en a fair trial, but we don’t mind telling you that we are of the same 2 opinion as hundreds of others, that 0 the fiend who murdered the little 0 5 McLean girl should be strung up 0 by the toes and left for the wolves. The quicker they get rid of that 0 fellow the better the country will feel. A fellow r over at Wabash took out a marriage license about two years ago but did not use it. Now the clerk refuses to refund the money for the license and he is left holding the sack. He probably will receive the answer “you don’t know what you have saved” from ’ thousands of persons who have ! been trying to figure the truth of ■ the statement that two can live as cheap as one. The fact that Decatur people are interested in owning their own home is shown in the annual report of the Decatur Savings and Loan Association. More than $128,0001 lias been paid in the form of run-I ning stock and mortgages held by the company on properties which are being paid out, total over . $26,000. A little spurt in building activities would be fine and the . local building associations are willI ing to help those who can finance | purchase or building of new homes. A short course on raising and feeding of hogs will be held at : Monroe, January 21, 22, and as this business is one of the most important among farmers in this county, the sessions will probably be attended by large numbers. Farmers I are invited to the meeting and; . County Agent Archbold who is co-1 operating in sponsoring the affair,! has arranged a program of interest and value to those raising porkers. Joseph Everett, found guilty by i a jury of murdering Doras Werling following an argument over swim-I ming and fishing rights in the St. Mary's river last June, will spend the rest of his life in the Michigan City prison. Judge Dore B. Erwin refused the appeal for a new trial and passed sentence on the man, the jury’s verdict leaving no alternative. Everett was charged with first degree murder. It may not be a case of premeditated murder, but when a man goes around with a gun on his hip and seems to be looking for trouble, he cannot find public sentiment on his side. The , case, which was oue of the most interesting ever tried in the local court, will probably be appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court and the outcome will be watched with interest. ( Friday winds up the campaign to secure pledges for the growing ot beets for the local plant of the Holland-St. Louis Sugar Company, indications are that more than 12,- , 000 required acres will have been secured and with these tentative , contracts to place before Col. T. J. Gallagher, receiver of the company .who is negotiating plans for the ! operation of the plant, proof will I be given that farmers in this terrt-j tory are not only willing but want to grow beets. The final check-up 'Till be sometime Friday and word will then be sent to Col. Gallagher. The securing of tin- contracts will be made by fieldmen named by the operators and if the program of carrying out the beet harvest and I tile running of the mill next fall is accomplished it will mean much to everybody in a wide radius of Decatur. Its u fine thing to hive money in the bank for the payment of all improvements required in the natural process of industry and a cash reserve guaranteeing the payment of future bonds. The electric light aud power department of the city plant is in just such a condition. Aside from the current cash

— [balance, the department has a re-i serve fund of about $70,000. At I present about $30,000 will be ex-| pended to rebuild the uptown elec-j trie distribution system and thei balance will eventually be used in redeeming the $50,000 bond issue.' This bond issue was made in 1920 to cover the cost of installing new boilers and dynamos at the power plant and redemption of the bonds did not begin until 1930. The indebtness has been reduced to $35,-1 000 and as soon as improvements - have been completed it is the coun- j til's intention to give the citizens! let Decatur and patrons of the | municipal plant the advantage of I the savings by reducing light and ; power rates. The city plant is a “life saver” in many respects and its financial condition is one to be proud of. Let's not tear dowp tecgood work.
