The Ethiopians still have the mud and seasonal rains, but Haile Selassie has their gold ami crown treasure. The Democrats cast five times i as many votes as the Republicans . did for their respective congress- 1 ional candidates in the county. I That would be a good proportion j to strive for in November. = j' Farmers are busy these days. : < The weather is ideal and the man i < on the farm is taking advantage 1 of it. Fields are being plowed I 1 and prepared for seed and the; i countryside hums with the life on, which the nation thrives. — Protect the shade trees in De-' catur. This city is noted for its ‘ beautiful trees and care should be , given them. Proper trimmings, ’ removing broken limbs and cementing decayed spots in the trunk oft, the tree will preserve its life and enhance its beauty. Many new sidewalks are being j constructed under the WPA work program. These improvements are appreciated by the pbulic and add to the appearance of the town. Property owners can make a saving by taking advantage of the I free labor if they build the walks now. Next on the calendar is Memorial Day and although communities will devote part of the day to honor the memory of the soldier 1 dead, one of the holiday features will be the 500-mile race. The drivers are tuning up and the "early bird" fans are forming in Indianapolis. Monroe street, from First to Third street, which comprises part , of the up-town business district, is to be lighted.

street and serving the public in a more efficient manner. The council is to be commended for its progressive step.. Five months from today Hie Centennial celebration will be at its height. We can’t afford to lose one day’s time in putting the ends together and getting the program in shape. Lend your hand in helping celebrate the city’s birthday and from now until the closing night of the big week, keep up your enthusiasm for the event of a century. Send in the names of former Decatur residents to Mrs. R. D. Myers so invitations to attend the Centennial can be extended to them. The committee desires to have the name of every man and woman who formerly lived here and it you’ll fill out the coupon printed in this paper, the committee will see that old friends are invited back home for the celebration. A city ordinance prohibits the construction of any except tireproof buildings within the up town fire zone. The ordinance was adopted several years ago in the interest of property owners and to prevent the creating of hazards to adjoining property. When planning a building, investigate the building requirements before starting work on the improvement. Representative James 1. Farley appreciates the vote given him in ' the primary election. Naturally the 1 congressman was elected with the | outcome from over the district and i he likewise appreciates that his | friends made victory possible. The j fourth congressional district will, be well served with his return to' Washington next November. He 1 has rendered excellent service dur- i ing his two terms and his experience qualifies him to assist in l i completing the recovery legislaI lion..
