Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. So far no indictments have been . returned against Mother Nature ; for causing the terrible floods. The Ethiopians seem to have , meant what they have said for . centuries, that they will tight as long «s one of them is left. , j After all the hints given mem , bers of the supreme court, we are ( inclined to think they have caught ( the "sit-down strike" fever. I t If the people along the Wabash t don't want the dredging, it looks < funny to force it on them. After all isn't it their own problem? 1 While there are many amend- 1 meats desired by the individual members of the legislature, it looks t as though the original measure as < 0. K'd by the administration will reach the statute books in that 1 form. < A Fort Wayne man who likes his chewing tobacco so well that he ' keeps a cuspidor close to his bed, f tumbled out, hit the spitoon and 1 had an ear snipped off. opening a ’ new avenue of danger for those who so indulge. 1 The sit-down strikes will run the 1 course in due time and peter out as do all these schemes and dreams, but in the meantime there 1 will be many losses both to em- 1 ployer and employee and perhaps 1 suffering and it all seems so need- 1 less. t l Mayor Bangs of Huntington ; seems to be working right along to carry out his boast that he will ( “rot in jail," before carrying out ( the courts orders. Fighting for one's community is a tine thing but opposing judges orders is quite another. Mrs. Wallie Simpson is getting back into society and complains because people stare at her. Surely she must expect the curious to look her over if she remembers that she is first woman of the century to cane a king to give up his throne for love of her. Some one who probably is doing a lot of guessing estimates the depression cost this nation a hundred fifty billion dollars. Whether that's correct or not, we know it did cost plenty and that it wasn't worth it. We should each do our best to head off another. Baseball teams are heading south and in a few weeks the old pill 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. It 1 to Decatur It It 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to loule two. When changing address to another town, always give present ad- » dress and new address.

| will be flying around the diamonds. [ Perhaps some of the sit-down boys cun arrange a park in or near a bail lot. Any way it will permit , ' many to forget their troubles, j {whatever they are. It's the greatest of all games aud the national sport. Now if eleven hundred thousand railroad men “sit down" we will] really feel the country is on strike. They threaten to do so unless ! their wages are raised some |360,-1 0(10,000 a year. The terms can't be met without Increased rates for' freight and passengers and then the roads get right back where they were, letting the business slip 1 over to trucks and trailers. It s a I tough one. The legislature came to the res- . cue of Adams county farmers without any loss of time. In just a ] week after the Wabash drain prob-1 lent had been presented, they pass-j ed a bill through both' houses de-I signed to remedy the wrongs against the good citizens who would be burdened by the propos-' ed drainage. Cridit goes to Frank' Thompson, representative and Sen-' ator Gottschalk. With the outlook for increased' need of electric current by thesoya beau and sugar factory and continued demands from the General Electric, it is probable the Decatur Light and Power plant will have to be further provided with equipment. There is an excellent opportunity for this city to have one of the largest power' plants in the state, excepting ini the largest cities. Tlte Illinois National Casualty h Company is testing an interesting question in a suit against William | James of Jay county. Otho Rath-1 burn, insured by the company was driving his tractor along a high-] way when two cows owned by James suddenly appeared. He swerved his machine and wrecked, it to the tune of $931. Now the company will attempt to prove that the animals had no right pasturing on the road and that James should have taught them better. Few people believe the supreme j court should be "packed" and that' is probably not the intention ofj the president or any one else, but most of those who study the ques-i lion will agree that no division of the government has a right to stand in the way of movements designed to aid the greatest number I of our citizens. And few will contend that men four score years of! age should have final control which! supersedes the power of Hie chief] executive and congress. The floods and strikes and dust] storms seem tough and they are ] for individuals but a number of ex-' pert economists argue they are a I benefit on the whole, for they hold back from a boom that would in | a few months pass the peak of ’ 1929 and then would come a "bust” l that might set us far back. Steel companies are now months behind m orders and a decided rise in : prices is promised April Ist. When ' the prices get too high, business ceases and then we have a de-] pression. Figured from that angle ] the disasters may be a good thing. I keeping our feet on the ground. — — O Household Scrapbook j By Roberta Lee * —« Glue for Emergencies A satisfactory glue can be made in an emergency by soaking tapioca in warm water. This is particularly good for the children when they wish to paste pictures. Sandwiches Delicious sandwiches can be made by spreading cream cheese and chopped nuts on slices of whole wheat bread. Add butter and season thoroughly. Colds Some authorities claim that | powdered borax snuffed up the nose will dry out a coid in the > head. °- Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
