Well, the weather is fine, it’s the goodXold summer time, every one has a few friends left, so why worry ai.out a little old depression? Credit conditions in Indiana are reported better than in months. It can still be improved considerably without hurting any thing for credits have sure been at a low . ebb for some several years and i, getting worse. They say some of the big fellows. I, including Owen D. Young, are ( working on a plan to put millions . to work soon. Go to it boys and more power to you. There may be ] some politics in it but most people . won't care if there is if it does the work. Some times we wonder if Dr. : John E. Condon, who working un-j, der the name “Jafsie", handled the j $50,000 furnished by Col. Lind- 1 bergh. isn’t in the same class with!. Curtis. His actions seem a little [ queer anti a lot of folks haven't | the least confidence in his weird stories. Don't waste time with the pessimist — those who tell yen how useless the fight is. They put you in such a frame of mind that you can’t do any thing to help yourself. | I .isten to the man who has an idea ; if how you can improve your con- I dition. who is cheerful and willing to sincerely cooperate. Wise is. the man who counsels with men who are worthy of friendship. The public schools are closed for I the year and the next ten weeks wilj be that happy time for every youngster—vacation. Usually they enter it with a whoop and with I many plans but by the time the bell' rings next September, all will be ■ just as eager to get back at their | hooks and the things which make the school of today so attractive for them. The school board has wisely de-I elded not to fix salaries for the school teachers until they vseertain the financial condition at the close of their year July 31st. The teachers of course earn every penny they receive and no one wishes them reduced if it can be avoided I but if it is necessary, the public I will find them good sports, willing ■ to do their share, at any and all times. i Transformed No messy rubbing in ...

Peddlars, transient merchants, hawkers and others who come to Decatur to get some easy money without paying for the privilege will soon be out of luck if the ordinance recently proposed to the city council is adopted. And why not? The local dealer employs help, pays taxes, lives here, owns a home, helps to boost and is entitled to your patronage. Almost every town and city has an ordinance of this kind and enforces it. Five years ago, Charles A. Lindbergh. then almost unheard of, landed in Paris, the first successful air flight across the Atlantic. They called him the "Lone Eagle" and he became within an hour the most famous personage of the world. He has he'd his popularity and though several have imitated his flight, none have reached the zenith of fame that he did. He is still the idol of this nation and the recent bereavement for he and Mrs. Lindbergh has but brought forth an idea of how much they are admired. Commencement exercises are ever and a class of young men and I women last evening received final [advice and diplomas. Today they step out in the world to fight their battles, to win success, to commence to use the knowledge they have gained from books the past dozen years. They will find it an altogether different problem. bu» one in which if they use good judgment, remember the instructions imparted by their teachers, keep l onest and work hard, they will I -ucceed. Don’t be discouraged by ■ present economic conditions. These I will pass and you will be better I i repared for having had knowledge [of these days. Our congratulations to each and all of you and may you tall make GOOD. I*" TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File Finley Drake was instantly electrocuted at power house this morning.

The dean prefers to ; be questioned in Norfolk. Colonel Lindbergh himself, who i lefused to file charges against i Curtis, has given no indication of , what prosecution if any he may desire, Schwartzkopf announced . ast night. Lindbergh did say he would not interfere with the police. Lieutenant Richards, pilot for Curtis; Edwin B. Bruce, Elmira banker and friend of Curtis: Miss Gay. a stenographer have been ques- i tioned concerning several points in ’ the confession Curtis signed. Bruce could not conceive that the plot executed by Curtis was i the product of a “normal mind.’’.

On May 20th, five years ago, an unknown young man with a touseled mop of hair climbed into the cockpit of the plane, which he bad named the “Spirit of St. Louis,” at Roosevelt Field, Sew York and, followed by the nravers of a few well-wishers, flew off into the haze that overhang.-, the broad Atlantic. On board he carried a bottle of water, a sandwich ano a letter of introduction. Thirty-three hours later, after the greatest and cleanest flight in the history of aviation, that young wan set his p.ane down at Le Bourget Airport, Paris, and Captain Charles A Lindbergh became a world hero. In the five years that have passed since th*' A

"There was no mercenary motive, I am sure,” he said. This is the theory held in Nor-, ' folk, referring to one point in CurDis' confession in which he said In was moved to fabricate his story by the i,< poof huge payments by, .newspaper*, news sei vices, maga Zines, and book publishers. None hut tne i.iiiunergn.s knew of the negotiations for the firs; two or three weeks. And all offers, of payment for “inside stories” of what Curtis did were dependant upon delivery of the child, something 'Curtis know was an impossibility if his complete -onfession was the, whole truth. “I honestly believe Dean DobsonPeacock and others in the suppos-, ed negotiations acted in go id faith." Bruce saitf "Later, some of us con’d not understand certain phases of the, situation, and we consulted Colonel i Lindbergh on these points. How-,

ever, the purposed clew was the ’ony channel open in the search, an 1 there was nothing for us to do hut to go on." Dr. Condon told his story of the' payment of $50,000 to supposed kidnapers during the Bronx county grand jury session yesterday.

i memorable day, the Lone Eagle, as he was picturesquely called, has often wished that fame was a- fleeting as cynics would have us believe, for ■ nothing is so wearying to the unassuming man as continued adulation of • hero-worshipers. The two highspots in Colonel Lindbergh’s career since i his flight were his marriage to Anne Morrow, daughter of Dwight W. I Morrow, on May 27, 1929, and the birth of their son on June 22, 1930. • Both were occasions of the greatest happiness but the joy thus brought i is now overshadowed by the tragedy of the< baby’s murder that has ; blotted out the sun for the once-bllssful coujle.

CHIEF’S PUNCH QUIETS VILLAGE I 'Hickory Flat, Miss. (UP! —j I Everything is quiet now In Dlckory | Fiat and pe haps it can be decoupled to Chief f Police N. E. Colquette's eight -inch punch. There was a fime when Hickory Flat resembled a miuature Chicago as two bootlegging gangs tott&il 1 their buttles on the street*. Then Colquette was made clileT of police and he cleaned it up in a high-hitnded manner. "Let’s see now’’ he recollected “I've arrested a right smart numtier down here. 1 would say more than 200 persons." ' The population of Hickory Elat is 387. Figure out Wihal the percentage of a: rest* amounted to. “We've g t her cleaned up now. I’ve had some lough times down here mid had to do a little Topvinein’ ' with my fists, hut she’s cleaned up now.” Chief Colquette, in July, will complete two yeiirs as the ouly Officer i t Hickory Flat. At first when he started, he had | to draw .bis gun- a few times and bring his fists into play. Igist Christmas Eve someone tried to dynamite his home and kill his wife and three child, en but they failed. Last Oct< her. Chief Colquette w, ,s forced to shoot a man.

He said. *We succeed only by [getting by an obstacle, and overcoming an obstacle depends on the I mental attitude of the person. How Ido we think about life? What is Ithe mental attitude toward life of

the members of this graduating 'class? What good are facts, and information, if these young people Jdo not have the right mental atti- ' I tude? This right altitude either locks .O! unlocks rich treasures. 'As a ' lean tliinketh .in nis heart, so is he." In presenting this statement he told an incident of two men who 11 t-ad the same place in life and the -..<me opportunities. One was a I success and the other a failure. The successful one applied intelligence and industry, and the other was overcome by his hoodoo, the fijn[ jhat he could not make the ' best of his opportunities. The speaker urged that if tho xrffinbers of the class become a fail- ■ ure, they do mt blame a particular ■ reason or thing for the failure, but find the causiHpid form a constructlive view of the situation. He said that young people are often trained to say ‘TH do my

To do one's best, he must I have more knowledge. Often, he said, pleasure is emphasized and preparation is neglected. “Every normal minded person is ■ liorn with something he can do.'' the speaker said, "and it is up to him to discover what it is, and to work along that line. But. if a person does not believe in himself, how can the world be’ieve in him? Mr. Grathwell stated that young people often fear to take a chance. The expression of fear shows the ack of self confidence, and there is no more paralyzing grip than fear. He urged that the gradual ing class have backbone, and the courage to stand by the right as they see it. He said. "No conquest is so great as the conquest of fear, and you will never be a success until you conquer doubts and fears. A, discouraged man is a defeated man." In closing he presented the plea, "if you can't get by the hoodoo, don’t let it get by you. Never let the world make you. but yd'i mike the world.” * Following the commencement program, the Senior reception was held in the schoof gymnasium, with >he class colors of blue and maize, forming the decorations. A large canopy of the chosen colors formed a centerpiece above the dance ha'.l, and streamers of tire predominating colors were draped to the side walls. Music for the dance was furnish-
