Henry Ford's 1931 loss of 53 millions does not wipe out his profits for the two previous years, so he still has a few millions to get by on. Speaking of the other senator from Idaho makes a person think who besides Jim Watson represents Indiana. Then after Decoration Day comes Father's Day. which we are informed falls on Sunday, June 19 this year. This man Blackmer paid about four million dollars in back income taxes, plus a $60,000 fine so that lie could come liack to the U. S. It's not such a bad old place after all. That Los Angeles woman who was given alimony of $630 a month must feel a little peeved when she stops to think that her former husband spent S7OO monthly on two horses. Sixth district Democrats favor the renomination of Frank Mayr as the candidate for secretary of late and recommending that all praaent state officials be renominited. The convention will select he candidates and it is likely that most of the present officials wi'l baft* their place on the ticket. Aiaclia Karhart Putnam now ! knows what fame is like and every-j tiling will be lovely unless hubby becomes jealous and refuses to keep the home fires burning. It's not so long ago since Ann Harding's helpmate took the divorce route because he didn’t want to be referred to as "Mr. Ann Harding." The vacation season means much linsupervised time for boys and a natural reckless feeing about things. Boys should enjoy good timCSThave lots of fun and in general make the most of a life out doors.

The Texas Democrat*, in convention yesterday, adopted a resolution favoring a referendum on the prohibition question and President Hoover la trying to frame a 1 straddle plank for the Republicans It seems thut the question is going ' to he an Issue and try as they might t It will not he kept out of the campaign. —n i: ~-— -.-- | An appropriate program honor--1 ing the soldier dead will be held in 1 this city Monday, Memorial Day. I I Visits to the Catholic and Decatur 1 will be made and the program will be in charge of the American legion. It is right that we pause and dedicate one day of the year to the men who served their country and were willing to give their life in order that Old Glory might continue to wave. No less an authority than one of Brsdstreet exectuives made the statement the other day that what the country needed was “more advertising.” To get out of the duldrums it will lake some push and earnest effort and advertising, hacked by the proper service and merchandise will soon start the machinery to moving. Free transporation for the World War veterans who are on their way to Washington to intercede for the payment of the veteran's bonus, will be provided through Indiana. The 400 men have had a rough time • f it and Governor Leslie announced that transporation would be given tnem to the Ohio line. From there on it may be a battle sgain, but the crowd seems determined and in all probability will arrive in the capital city in a few days. Decatur can feel proud of its many beautiful shade trees, well kept lawns, flowers and shrubbery j which greet the eye at every turn, j It's not expensive to have a few j flowers, a nice lawn or several fine trees and nature has away of doing things so beautifully that any'tliing you might do to substitute for plant growth does not take the place of it. Each year sees the work enlarged and there isn’t anything that speaks so well for a town as true civic pride expressed in (lowers and trees. New York, like other cities needs money and as a means of raising it. Mayor Walker might charge admission to the Seabury-Walker trial. Although the court room ordinarily holds only 325 people, more than 600 crowded in and hundreds were standing outside. The dapppr mayor is charged with accepting favorj from a bus company and when the two men met the fur was bound to fly. We don't believe Mayor Walker is crooked and cannot fathom that he would stoop to accepting a bribe, when offers of SIOO,OOO a year salary have been made to him by heads of the country's largest business concerns. ♦ — ♦ Answers To Test Questions Below are the Answers to the Test Questions Printed on Page Two. ♦ « 1.

Hubby Mailed Wife’s Letter After 18 Years Harrison, Ark.— OJ.R) —The man who forgets to mail his wife’s letters isn’t a myth. Nath Miller has discovered a letter that his wife gave him to mail 18 years ago. It was found in the back of a ro.ler top desk, together with the little loop of string he had tied around his finger at the time to help remind him to mail the letter. So this week Miller mailed the letter, as it was addressed to Miss Lucy Harding at Berryville, where she still resides.
