An active Chamber of Commerce renders much service to the community.. Decatur needs such an organization and if every loyal Decaturite joins, you'll be surprised at what can be accomplished. The National Safety Council displays an illustrated placard with the following timely advice: You can be too thin; You can be too fat; You can !>e too rich; You can be too poor; but you can't be too CAREFUL. Paul Fry. state excise administrator has issued several rulings in connection with the enforcing of the liquor control law. Unless

these provisions are complied with, applications for new licenses will not be considered by the slate commission. The Chamber of Commerce is not a money-making concern. The membership fee is only $-’.50 a year and that provides a fund for ordinary running expenses, such as Hie public expects in the handling us business and the promoting of community welfare.

I Paul Mallon. Washington corres- > pondent, reports the government ■ chart on business to be showing ! extra-seasonal Improvements for i the first quarter of 1935. Taking I the years 1923 to 1925 as normal * the index for January reads W 4%: i February, 69.7% upd March <l>%. Business Week, a national magazine, reports payrolls for February showed a 73% gain over March 1933, and says that both employment and the payrolls these past two months have made the biggest gains over January that have been noted in 16 years, except for the gains made in 1931 — the second year of Roosevelt. Some of the positive gains over the first quarter of 1934, the magazine reports, shows this: Manufacturing, up 12%; automobile manufacture, up 44%, steel up 20%; electric power, up 6%; check payments, up 14%; coal production up 6%. On his SPth birthday, John Hays ' Hammond, speaking out of experience that has been broad as well as long, said: “The Boys Clubs of America are my most interesting avocation. 1 think those clubs for underprivileged boys are more important than many other good works. They are of greater econ- ‘ omic value, its cheaper to build)' boys’ clubs than jails. If I were to start again, I would never waste < my time in politics but would de- j vote it to the boys.” One might < hesitate to agree with Mr. Ham- f mond that time intelligently spent 1 . .... • . • ..A .. .1 .. —,l 4 —

Every word of praise, every at-1 ■ tractive home, every helpful act, - every expression of faith in the future of your city, is a forward * > shove! , Thousands of citizens doing and ’ t saying the wrong thing can destroy a city almost as completely , as can artillery fire. Thousands of citizens doing and saying the ■ 1 right thing—the constructive thing -can cause a city to rise to new 2 heights of greatness. Abe Lincoln set up a citizenship ideal for all of us to strive toward when he said. ‘T am proud of my city and 1 will strive to make my city proud of me.” —The Friendly Adventurer. y * Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two. 4- __ « 1.

---- COLUMN y. * Due to bae poor oat crap last year there is a shortage of seed 041,1 tills spring, and farmers who ore toned to purchase se.-d from outside sources should make it a point U> treat every bushel for tmttit, declares Dr. C. T. Gregory, extension pathologist of Purdue UniversityH points ouv that there is no »ay of determining the smut content of oat seed by examination, tor it might produce a clain crop or it might have ten per cent or more of smut, and the seed would look tire same in either case. Farmers have tiliree effective and easily manipulated treatments opento them to kill smut, says Dr. Gregory, who outlines the three methods as follows: Formaldehyde treatment: Mix one pint of formaldehyde in 5 gallons of water for eacJi forty or fifty bushels of seed oats to be treated. Tils the outs on a clean floor or in a wagon box. As the oats ore being shoveled over, apply th** ,H ' X ’ lure slowly with a sprinkling can. This will spread the formaldehyde mixture evenly throughout the pile. Then cover the pile for at least five hours or longer if desired- After this the oats may be sacked or planted immediately as is necessary. Increase or decrease the amount of formaldehyde and water in proportion to the number of bushels of oats treated. Formaldehyde dust: Used at the raw of three ounces of the dust per buribel of seed. Mix the dust and the seed throughly by shoveling buck and forth. A closed revolving container like a barrel churn or an opurn concrete mixer will do the
