Ball can sell his railroads at a ten million dollar proSt I he will give it to charity, which would be fine, but after all if he shows that much profit in a year, who is really giving? It s a good thing the coal miners are striking this early. That will give them the opportunity of scrapping a couple of months and, then getting busy to get out the fuel supply for next winter. The boys at Washington are getting a little personal these days, which is not a bad sign. Shows ther% is still some red blood in the statesmen and that after it boils so long it just has to spurt. — Hugh Anderson of Miami seems | to be a smart fellow . He has just tiled a petition in bankruptcy showing liabilities of $8,503,000 and assets of S4OO. Any body who can owe that much with nothing but a shoe string to build on. deserves a big chromo, framed in gold, to be hung in the Smithsonian instititute. In Indiana the state will under the nsw law pay her teachers S7OO of their salary annually, which is fine. However Florida has just provided SBOO a year. They can do it because they use the gasoline and auto license taxes to raise the money. Down there it doesn't cost nearly so much to build or rnainJ tain the highways and consequent ly a seven-cent tax on gas brings in a lot of dough. Boys and girls whf- skate on the streets and roads these days are "on thin ice.” Not only is It dang erous from the standpoint of getting bumped by an automobile but you may drop into the hands of the police officials who have given I warnings that the practice must stop. There is absolutely no way , to make the streets usable as a skating rink and a public thoroughfare in these days of speeding cars. I Mark Sullivan, well known Wash- ■ ingtou political writer, suggests, that the proper move of Indiana | Republicans next year, would be to support Senator VauNuys in the I I primaries and the general election,! because he is opposing the President in his Supreme Court plans? Well, that will not make the DemoCHANGE 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 ad-. dresa and new address.

e rat is mad, but we just can't imagine the G O. P. boys doing any such thing and won't believe it until we see it. Evidently Mark has some idea of mixing the whole thing up and then starting a couple t of now parties within the ranks. Hugh Marshall and Vurtis Neal. ; a couple of boys who thought they were smart enough to lead a life of crime are now on trial at Shelbyi ville tor the murder of William H. Bright, an Indianapolis druggist. When Bright stopped his car at a red light the night of January 4th, the boys got in, pulled a gun. made him drive into the country, shot him in the back, threw his body in i the river after taking a few dollars from his pocket and drove off in his ear. Now wise lawyers are trying to save them from the electric , chair and putting tip a defense that makes many wonder whether so- , ciety owes them so much. ——— — ~ Dr. D. T. Stephenson, pastor of ' the Methodist church at Newton, N. J„ and former pastor in this city. Muncie and Goshen, has given notice that he its retiring this' week after serving in the ministry for forty-four years. TTlat’s long enough perhaps but Dr. Stephen- ! son is not old yet and with his wonderful ability, could continue to render great good to the public. We predict he will never quit preaching for he is constituted TTiat way and he will be called upon many times to fill pulpits or to give special addresses. His Decatui : friends wish him much joy in his' new plans. He has done a great work and deserves the rest he seeks. HOW'S YOUR MEMORY? Remember when a fuse burned 1 out last winter and you couldn't 1 find another—and so established the circuit by putting a penny bei hind the old fuse? Thousands of i fires, many of which have destroyed lives, have been caused by this dangerous practice. Remember when the cord of your reading lamp wore through and you repaired it yourself, with the aid of a kitchen knife, some automobile tape and considerable pro-; faulty? The list of fires resulting from amateur (electrical repairs would fill a big book. Remember that cold morning when the fire was balky and, in a fit of anger, you turned to kerosene to get it going? This practice has, burned down thousands of homes—l and provided many a man f with an abrupt passage to the hereafter. , Remember when you noticed that your furnace doors were no longer' tight, that the flues looked to be in a sad state of repair, that the | chimney shot sparks—and you decided to have those matters at-, tended to another day? Sometimes the other day never comes. Remember when you awakened and found the room full of smoke from the smoldering cigar butt that had fallen onto the bed or the carpet? The insurance records are full of cases where the smoker in question never did wake up again i in this world. The list of careless actions that' may cause fire could be prolonged indefinitely. You may take a chance a thousand times and get away with it —and on the thousand and first time it may get away with you. The man who lights his cigarette with a twenty-dollar bill is ' not as wasteful or reckless as the man who takes a chance on fire. —!
