When freight rates come down we ll burn more coal and less haul. At least most of the customers ‘ of the house of Morgan were well known. Big circus day next Wednesday. Come early, bring the family and just be "kids again.’’ These historv making days are at least unfavorable for the movie actors and actresses and their marital ups and downs. Private banking business becomes nation wide news when the senate committee takes hold and 'pens the pages. The big world's fair depicting a century of progress opens in Chicago Saturday and we don’t know if its new enthusiasm or mere guess, but they estimate 30 million people will visit the show this summer. Well that would be a crowd. Why all the apparent surprise about the list of notables, bankers and industrial giants who were customers of J. Pierpont Morgan? We plways were under the impression that you had to be some pump-kin-or classified as “who's who’ 1 , before you could get in there. Even the great were unable to slop or combat the crash in 1929 and the big fellow did about the same thing as the guy who went to his banker for a loan. Finally they all got to Morgan and records show that many of his customers are now unable to pay. Small world after all. Next Tuesday is Decoration Day and appropriate services, honoring the soldier dead will be held here under the auspices of Adams Post o7 the American Legion. It's a day when the nation recalls to mind the sacrifices made by the men who defended their country in time of war and an appreciative people pause to pay them honor. From a revenue raising point of view and evidently interpreting the country's temper in respect to the Eighteenth Amendment, lead ers in Washington and elsewhere . dvocate the speedy repeal of that article to the federal constitution which attempts to regulate the manufacture and sale of intoxicants. Indicating this trend is me expression of the voters in six ■tales, which voted overwhelmingly for repeal of the amendment. The seventh state, Delaware, will vote next Saturday and Indiana will go to the polls on June 6. Apparently the people have their minds made up and within a year we may see the question settled and some other plan worked out. The city council will receive bids tonight for furnishing new equipment at the city light and power plant. Certain improvements must be made, including a water pur! Scitton system, electric driven pumps and other ihechanical de-1

vices which engineers have recommended as necessary as the first step towards improving plant effi--1 ciency and lower production costs. . These savings, resulting from lower operating costs should be returned to the patrons in the form of reduced light and power rates and it is hoped that the program - planned will see this accomplished this year. The council is working ■ with that idea in mind. i I . . . - i It is encouraging to note the ' progress made by Decatur's indusi trial and manufacturing plants. Within the last month increases of nearly 50 per cent have been made in production and employment and those in charge of these fine progressive plants express the belief that we rounded the corner to better things. The Cloverelaf Creameries through the moving of the butter print department to the local factory, gave employment to 15 additional girls and the Decatur Casting Company, in keeping up with orders, has added 50 people I to its payroll in the last month.] The General Electric and other plants are maintaining longer working schedules, adding to the earning power of employes and on every hand it seems that we have got up sufficient steam to make the next corner. President Roosevelt has demonstrated that the infantile paralysis which afflicts his legs has not affected his* head. During the campaign much was made of this physical defect by opponents who | sought to contrast him with his fifth cousin; but the oldest voter cannot recall any President who ever took hold with such vigor as Franklin Roosevelt. The Colonel made great starts, but people usual-1 ly lost sight of his finishes. He was easily diverted, like a puppy I dog following a team that finds I something new in each fence corner and loses interest in the chip-{ munk that enlivened the last one.The country itself, having run out of reasons and resources, is disposed to give Mr. Roosevelt a fair trial. What it wants is motion — business and political. One is a close concomitant of the other.— Moose Magazine. * "twenty’years - ] AGO TODAY 1 From the Dally Democrat File | ♦ ♦ Misses Mary Erwin and Lulu Atz leaves for summer school at Valparaiso.

WAT IS * HQME /y gOSSfiARDEN? The Compost Heap in Making

Composting is an ancient and valuable means of fertilizing that is seldom practiced but upon which we must now depend for our chief material supplies since the automobile has displaced the horse and supplies of stable manure are not available in cities and towns except at great expense. The chief value of barnyard manure in addition to the actual fertilizing elements it contains is in providing humus for the soil. Humus is decayed vegetable matter, the chief constituent of the light, black soil we find under forest trees, brown upon the surface with the finely powdered but not yet thoroughly decayed forest leaves. It is the chief component of the black prairie soil made by hundreds of years of vegetation rotting annually while fresh vegetation springs up to repeat the process. We may hasten and increase this process of renovating and replenishing the soil by the compost heap in the backyard. This is merely a pile of vegetable material collected during the year and piled up to

I'decay—autumn leaves, lawn rakt ings, weeds pulled from the garden. 11 pea vines, bean vines and other fj vegetable refuse from the garden. - None of it should be burned or I'thrown away. *■ ] Pile it in a flat-topped heap with ’ a depression in the center to direct f the moisture from rains or from - the hose in dry spells to the center -of the heap. Moisture hastens the ; rotting. Add to the pile all season, - wetting down occasionally and the f following spring the upper portions ] 1 can he removed and the decayed i and partially decayed matter at the f bottom of the heap should be spad- ’ ed into the garden beds. Let the ! top layer become the bottom layer ; of the new compost heap as it is E already well on its way to decay. I The compost not only adds plant > food in itself but it injproves the texture of the soil. Humus is a i vegetable spongs and it the great ■ ameliorating factor for light, sandy > soils. It also improves the texture i of heavy soils. Start a compost - heap this spring. ) While the compost heap is un-

I sightly it is becoming more and ■more of a. garden necessity. A plan I devised by a Chicago garden club jis worth considering in this connection. One of its members with a : small tack yard, in which a compost heap was too conspicuous to be tolerated, hit upon the plan of a double-back fence, the second five jor ten feet according to the depth .of the lot in front of the line fence. ; Between these two fences and carefully concealed from public view a (compost heap may be constructed, jfar.baye and ash can hidden firm view, a small tool shed may be constructed and various boxes and coverings for plants stored until they are needed. The plan has proved practical and lias been put in use by club members. The fence in this garden club member's garden was so well draped with vines that the presence of the backayrd skeletons it concealed were unsuspected until she led the way through a gate and showed the garden properties behind it. • —o — BARGAINS — Bargains in Living Room, Dining Room Suites, Mattresses and Rugs.
