The average youth will not take too seriously the cause of suicide ascribed to the Massachusetts college student, whose mind went blank because he studied too hard. An effort is being made to get the Centennial petunias planted by Decoration day. If you haven't set out your garden, do it the coming week and watch the cheery little flowers grow. | Patronize your local merchants and establishments. Keep the dollar going round and round and you will be contributing your share towards better business and more community advantages. The money raised through the sale of poppies is used by the American Legion and the Legion Auxiliary to aid disabled veterans and their dependents. The wearing of a poppy is evidence that you are helping the worthy cause. The Civie Section of the Womans club has voted *SO to purchase new uniforms for the Girls Band. This is a splendid contribution to a good cause, appreciated by the band members and the public which enjoys hearing the organization. Encourage the high school graduate by giving him a job. Most young people want to work and we don't know of a liner way to help the youth along than provide gainful work for him. A little money earned through his own efforts will give him confidence and encouragement. Saturday's edition of the Daily Democrat goes to press at noon, affording the advertiser an excellent advertising medium. The pap er is delivered to the homes early in tlfe afternoon and those who list Saturday night specials will find that sales will click as a result. There is something wrong with the parents of the 22-month-old baby, who it is said cries lustily for a cigarette. It sounds so foolish that we wonder why an ambitious reporter would even give the matter enough consideration to write about it. The parents deserve the spanking. The city streets are swept three or four times a week and every CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new' address.

| effort is made to keep them clean i and In good shape. Hours of effort and labor can be destroyed if we litter the thoroughfares with hand bills and refuse paper. A little civic pride will keep the . streets in good housekeeping order. The country sincerely hopes that , Mrs. Roosevelt, mother of the President, is not seriously hurt. The gracious lady and kindly moth--11 er of the nation’s President slipped ' and fell, injuring her hip. She is ,; 82 years old. Her son has left the White House to be at her bedside and we hope with the millions that her recovery is rapid. Dr. Robert Williams, president of Ohio Northern University, has given an appropriate title to his address to the Decatur high school graduates this evening. His subject will be, “The Gateway to Success.” Clean living, honesty, unselfish service and following true .Christian principles will do much in opening the gateway to success in all walks of life. , The city lias appropriated its share of the cost of the PWA project at the light and power plant, and the tine part is that the city has the actual cash set aside for , the improvements. The formal resolution, “ear marking," *62.200 for construction and machinery costs has been passed by the coun- , cil and the money is on deposit in I the First State Bank ready for The PWA grant for *49,300 will be received in due course and when the plant improvements are com- j pleted the city will not owe a penny on the contract. The foreclosing of a mortgage on the home owned by Mrs. Julia Field, widow of the immortal poet; Eugene Field, is of course a sad| ease, but no worse than for the; ordinary mortal. Probably every . consideration was given her, but i financial reserves sometimes can't, I be averted and in the ordinary pro-, 'cess of events, they reach the point| where the courts provide the final steps. We hope she is able to save : her property and that same wish goes to everyone who is having trouble these days in meeting pay-, ments and paying off the mortgage.

Superintendent McMurray arose to him a fiery challenge at any person who charges Indiana w hooks with the teaching of "Commuuisiin, atheism and lawlessness”. ■ Ai-dern youth is the counterpart of yesterday's youth", said Mr. McMurray, “The reckless lad of today who tears up an automobile on the highways more than likely is the sun of a jouth who iu another day raced a good house to death every summer. I challenge any person who says our boys and girls of today aro not just as sensible, cclean and ambitious as the boys and girt, of bygone days I defy any one to show where the public school eystem is not measuring up to its responsibilities In the teaching of s-od citizenship au<| Americanism. In the pant three years we have itaade great strides in raising tlio standards of public education in Indiana, in lengthening the school terms and and in the elimination of the ol*>olete. insanitary one room school house. We have had educational statesmanship g.ven to us in dndiana by Goverar Haul V. McNutt.” Superintendent McMurray is proud of the records which showg that Indiana was one of three states to give equal financial support to all schools and teachers through the deprMstobs, keeping all school doort 'spen and improving standards even through economies amounting to more than sls,(if)o3>oo savings in costs to taxpayers were put Into effect at tfc« same time Mr. McMurray u home u iu Thora-
