Little Miss Spring had to wear her fur coat and galoshes, but she got here and most everyone was glad to extend her welcome. May she bring joy to all. “Our Country. In her intercourse with other nations may she always he right. But our Country, right or wrong." —Commodore Stephen Decatur. We wish to call subscribers' attention to the fact that when they request a change in mailing address, that the old address be given with the new one. This will enable a quick dispatch of the change and will avoid the possibility of missing a copy of the paper. Decatur is the shopping center for hundreds of people today. They came from far and near and found stores loaded with good merchandise, at the right price and pleasing clerks to serve their wants. Despite the weather, Friday's shoping crowd was large, the community sale bringing a number of visitors and buyers. Local police officers stood out in the snow and slush patrolling traffic yesterday and making overy effort to keep Second street open and with an eye to averting accidents. They appreciate that it's an accomodation to let a perso n double-park his car and “run-in" i to buy something, but when one | does it, a dozen more try it and' what do you have. It’i like trying to round up a stampede. Never lose faith in the people of Decatur or despair of their mercy aud charity. The first day appeal for funds for the Red Cross to assist the flood sufferers brought 3121 and officers of the organization state contributions are pouring in. It is a record of which any community is proud and there isn’t a doubt but that this town will contribute its full share to those who need help. Officers aud committees of the Adams County Rural Electrification membership corporation will soon make a canvass in the six south townships of the county for the purpose of acquiring members. It is a good step. Every rural home should be served with electricity. With the facilities of the City Light and Power plant, the community could be served economically, if the lines were constructed. — The social security law will become operative May 1 aud employer* of eight or more persons must begin keeping records by April 1. The act provides for wage payments, not to exceed sls a week, when unemployed aud for old age pensions. Employes must also contribute to the fund and concerns which come under the law must

now give attention to the task of setting up the proper books. After once established it will carry along like any other part of the business. The Centennial Good-Will boud barometer is climbing steadily aud before the day is over will have reached a uew high. The campaign is progressing better than I any ever conducted and the officers of the Association have every confidence that it will go over the top. Decatur aud Adams county never has failed in a united community effort and the sentiment which bat ks the Centennial observance wilt bring the present effort to glorious heights. The bauk bandits are operating again. A new gang ot hoodlums raided banks in Farmland and Bloomingdale, the latter a suburb of Indianapolis, where the cashier and one of the robbers were killed. State and local police departments should have only one way 1 to treat these fellows, if and when the law catches up with them, as it always does. Society in general must be rid of the criminal anj the G-Men just about found the right solution — get ’em on wing and ask questions afterward. United States Senators Frederick Van Nttys, Sherman Minton. Congressman James Farley and representatives from Ohio and ■ Michigan, are working together in ' urging legislation in the interest • ot the beet sugar grower. They 1 have taken the matter up with , Secretary Wallace, the proposed legislation being submitted to him by growers throughout the country, i Helping the farmer in any way, j with beets, corn or hogs, is one of i the surest means of bringing prosperity to the country and the na tional representatives know that i for a fact.

CONCRETE SETS IN 20 MINUTES New Haven, Conn.—(Ulo ~ Thta ( era ot speed and efficiency with economy has developed what si I entists regard as the greatest forward step in road construction since the discovery of concrete more than 3,000 years ago. The honors go to Karl P. 818 nor, a young Swedish engineer of New York, who has perfected a method of hardening concrete which, he says, will result in het ter. cheaper, more durable and non-skid highways which will dry out in 20 minutes as compared with the present 24 or more hours. Billner calls his process the "vacuum compression method, and explained it as simply removing the excess water from the mixture by utilizing atmospheric pressure of 1,400 pouuds per square fool by use ol rubber or metal mats. Tested At Yale He conducted a demonstration before a representative gathering of scientists, ropd builders and professors at Yale University, Within 20 minutes after he had poured an eight-inch slab, the group walked and jumped on the

Profeiwor Theodore Crane, Yale department of architecture, said the treated concrete was from 50 to 60 per cent stronger, had no cracks and resulted iu an appreciable production Having, Crane explained that hydration cannot he achieved without water, and jet it is this very water that causes weakening, cracking and lack of desired atreugth in many a concrete structure. All the water needed to carry out the process, Crane asserted, is three gallons to a bag of cement. But concrete can't be placed as dry as that as it lacks the plasticity necessary to working it, making it pack solidly into the forms, and smoothing it off.
