Spring is in the air and its time to beautify the city, put on our best I “bib and tucker" and let the public know we are proud ot this community. Join the Decatur Chamber oil Commerce this week. The cam-I paigu will continue a tew days ami it is hoped that every one interest- j ed in tlie welfare of the people oil this splendid city will give the aid | of their service and their dues this year. There is much to do and I you should be glad to help. Fifteen persons with an average of more than 75 years died iit Adams county between January 13th i and April 13th, it is announced by I Dr. Vizard, county health officer.’ The total ages of these fifteen citizens of litis healthy county was 1,134 years. Those who violate the law finally wake up in jail. Police have captured Earl Putnam and Mildred j Davis, of Ohio City, and are holding them for a number of holdups including several committed in this county last January. There is but one end to a life of crime and that is complete ruin. The young man arrested for driving his car without license should have known better. As long as' every thing goes along smoothly,) there is a chance to gee away with , this law infraction but as soon as I something unusual happens, the law has the violator by the nape of the neck. The meeting of the Democratic Woman’s club to be lipid at the court room tomorrow evening, will 1 convince tho .e who attend that the I women have awakened to their] I ar. in public affairs. Members are I from every part of the county and their meetings the past year have been most interesting. The club c itftinues to grow and the members will take an important part in this year’s campaign.

The sale of a Third street residence, at auction for >2,1*25 cash shows there Is a market for properties here. There were live bidders and the eale was conducted in an old fashioned, snappy manner that convinced tho large crowd present that this is a mighty fine community and one that is coming | back without waiting to sue what ' the other towns will do. President Roosevelt came home from his fishing trip in tine condition and didn't lose any time. He rolled up his sleeves, called in the congressional leaders, told them what had to be done to satisfy the public and told them to get at it ami do it so the session could be wound up. And they had the nerve to try to defeat this man for the nomination by saying he lacked ba< kbone. The Citizens Telephone Company will abandon the Monroe exchange, n d because they wish to but because it is necessary as an economical measure. For several years the smaller exchanges have not been making their way and the ; damage caused by the recent sleet storm brought to a climax the problem. Patrons will be given as good or better service through the Berne and Decatur exchanges. Those who doubt that good times : are at hand must have been suri prised at the recent statement by Fred Hoke, rtate director of the i National Emergency council. Fred ! points out til-? fact that numerous I banks and trust companies are ! again loaning money on good ee- ! eurity, factories are running forty I per cent better than a year ago ' and in numerous places there is a shortage of homes. In Newcastle 1 - I there is not a house or room availj able and more than 12.000 workmen there are commuting to other near by towns. We are on the way. Our congratulations are extendi ed to Bernard J. Wemhoff, brilliant | son ot Mr. and Mrs. George Wemhoff who is just completing his I course of studies at the University of Detroit, where he won numerous honors, including the editorship of Varsity News. Now he has been given a position as an editorial writer for the Free Press, one of America’s pioneer newspapers and recognized as among the best in i he country.

GUARD INSULL AGAINST BREAK Former Utility Head Is Watched Closely As Ship Is In Port Milazzo. Sicily. Apr. 18 —<U.R> — One stage nearer home and prosecution on fraud charges, aged Samuel Insull looked out from the steamship Exilona today over the bayvin which a Roman fleet 2,194 years ago wou a historical naval battle over the Carthagenians. The Exilona arrived off the cape at dawn today, and proceeded later to this port to load sulphur oil. Members of the crew watched Insull closely against a pesjible break for liberty. It was planned to sail on to Palermo, further along the north coast, late this afternoon. Insull seemed reconciled to extradition. and showed good spirits though he winced at any sign of curiosity. He stayed up until late last night chatting with newspaper correspondents. He talked on many topics, but particularly on food. It was an immense relief, lie said, to get the American cook’d food aboard the export liner ‘ Vagabond Cruiser” after eating at the Istanbul detention house. From its next port, Palermo, the Exilona sails westward along the African coast through the Straits ot Gibraltar, down to Casabalanca. Morocco, and thence
