Huey Long has made millions' out of politics but it is claimed lie | has that put away safely so he won’t have to "share his wealth" with any of the boys unless be wishes to, no difference what hapliens to his proposed plan. tine local business house that has used a good supply of newspaper advertising, reports a hundred per cent gain in business the past year. That’s something to think over. You can do the same thing if you have the drive. Remember the annual meeting of Hie Decatur Chamber of Commerce Monday evening, with R. Earl Peters of the FHA as head-1 lino speaker, election of a board of j directors and other matters of interest. You will enjoy it a lot so don't forget to buy a ticket. Decatur police are (making an effort to be courteous to every one and particularly to strangers,which j' is a splendid manner of performance and one that will bring dividends. Tourists deserve and appreciate any effort madq, to assist them and it requires but littlo effort to give it. More tlufti 2,300 drag addits, smugglers, moonshiners and petty crooks were arrested in three days of what is the greatest war against crime ever put on by the United States and the authorities propose to keep up the good work until they have completed the stupendous job. We are trying to publish a county newspaper that will interest you and we want your support. If each of our big family of readers would occasionally send us items of news interest or opinions for our special column, we are sure we could have the very best paper published any where. Germany is building up her military forces and Europe is alarmed as to the cause. They say it is for protection and not for attack, but Its tljq old story of having an army t'hut can lick flic world. The buss is almost sure to get to a place where he wants to try it out. In the meantime, they arc furnishing much employment. It tppk Anderson twenty years to win the slate liasketbali tournament but they finally went over and it was a. great iiuisb tor them. They pulled the semi final out of the fire when the odds were a thousand to one against them and then pul up the best game of the tourney against the Jeffersonville Red Devils, touted to win. The first three months of 1935

show an Increase in general business over last year of thirty per ecut and by autumu we should be going at a normal rate. That's something worth while ami its up to each individual to attend to his own business in such away that he will get his share of these gains. We have heard unofficially that the state highway commission is In favor of luird surfacing No. 221 from this city to the Wells county line and perhaps to Markle, but there seems to be a lack of interest here. Os course the slate boaru takes care of those projects where local enthusiasm is displayed and lay back on the shelf those on which there is apathy, if we want it, now is a good time to get it. The one house Nebraska legislature seems to be going along smoothly and reports from out that way are that they like it. Wonder why we have two houses any way? A measure has to bob along through both of them and often I one is made in the other and the ' going is difficult. Perhaps the ex- ( .tra house sometimes acts as a ! stabilizer but it will interest you 'to watch how the Nebraska plan i works after a few years. There seems to be an epidemic jot take kidnaping these days. Some I youngster in school, taking advantage of the love of his or her parents, plans to disappear and sends a note demanding cash. Usually of course it doesn’t work and the boy or girl finds himself or herself in disgrace. They deserve punishment for the crime is a terrible one, but just what that reprimand should be, seems not to have been solved. If you live along a state highway ami take roomers, it is likely you will be visited by someone v.ho will try to get you to give him five or six dollars to join an or ganization which he claims will keep your house filled with tourists during the season. He is probably a grafter and you will never see or heat' ’Trout him again, so pass him up until you have a chance to check and double check as to his reliability.
