Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. The Berne Witness is ashamed of Senator Minton. Now isn't that too bad? Poor old “Shay” will probably not be able to proceed with his duties it he ever hears about it. The calendar is getting all mixed up again. We seem to have had our April weather in March and now that old month with a bad reputation has come sneaking back to April fool us. The fellow who deliberately stole a tractor from the William Anderson farm is silly to be engaging in such a dangerous pursuit. With 1 his power of magic he should make, a million dollars by palming such a cumbersome article as a farm tractor. Those Kansas City employes of a Henry Ford plant perhaps just think they are "taking a Ford plant.” It is quite possible they may find that Mr. Ford isn’t at all particular to continue the branch if he is not to operate it as he deems best for his employes and his stockholders. This is Boy Scout week and the boys are making an effort to raise a quota of S6OO. Decatur’s share of expenses for the Anthony Wayne area. It's a splendid cause that helps to make the boys better able ’ to meet the problems of life and we are sure the quota will be obtained here without great effort. The fact that the strike of coal miners lasted but one day and that 450.000 men have returned to their jobs, apparently satisfied, is an.in-, dication that one of these days the epidemic of strikes will be over and then the nation can settle down to an era oV prosperity that ought to make all previous ones look insignificant. This community extends a hearty welcome to R«A. John Tracy, Ligonier, who has been appointed assistant pastor of the St. Mary's ■ Catholic church here to tempor-i arily succeed Rev. Joseph J. Hennes. Rev. Tracy has been successful in his previous assignments ■ and we are sure he will find his I work here pleasant. Boys and girls are being warned to quit roller skating on the streets. As many as sixty or seventy were j using Nuttnian Avenue and other' city thoroughfares as skating rinks, being seriously injured. Drivers' of cars frequently cannot see the i skaters until they are upon them and it is much better that the police warnings be observed before a terrible accident occurs. Fifty Decatur stores will start Wednesday afternoon closing this week, giving clerks and proprietors ' an afternoon off. These folks have I long hours, working in many fa-1 stances as much as seventy hours a week. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and similar plans are now followed In numerous cities during the summer

I months. A number of stores howlever believe they cannot afford to i close and will continue to operate ! as they have in the past, except permitting the help to take half I holidays as this can be arranged iu the various stores. The sit-down strikers over in I Madison county don't seem to be 1 getting along so well. The strikes ■ nt Anderson were of short duration 1 and now the Aladdin Industries at I Alexandria has been awarded a $9,850 judgment against striking l employes, not to be paid unless the workers again try to take possession of the plant. That's al , new way to handle this situation < but why if employes cause a loss i to the owners of a factory, should I they not be subject to the same laws which would give them a ’ judgment against their employers if they were injured in any man I ner? A worth while event was the din-, ner given by Cloverleaf Creamer-1 ies, Inc., and the McMillen Feed Mills here. It was one of those get ■together meetings in which the farmers became better acquainted, with those in charge of the indusI tries which provide a market for their prodtfhe. The resolution, unanimously adopted, providing a ban on poor dairy products, is a forward looking movement that we, predict will sweep the middle west, i resulting in improvements for the farmer, the consumer and the industry. It was a happy affair and , one of those successes along its 1 line, for which Adams county is becoming quite famous. The state highway commission 1 will establish and maintain three-1 j acre picnic grounds along the main routes, it having been decided that , •• I this is more important and will prove more popular than the tree planting inaugurated a few years 1 ago. The grounds will provide excellent places for campers and those who travel in trailer cars, so rapidly gaining in popularity. The commission also plans to spend more than a million dollars the i next two years improving feeder 1 I highways to the main system. An- j other innovtaion to be started this year will be the construction of sidewalks along the highways, thus I I assuring greater safety for the i pedestrians. Geneva and Wabash township! will dedicate their new $100,060 school building next Wednesday evening, with addresses by Ken-,, neth F. Shoemaker, Forest M. Logan, state director of the WPA and Mr. Bosse of the department of I state education. We congratulate that enterprising community for their achievement. There is no more important step in any town ' or township than providing good' school buildings in which good instructors can teach the boys and I girls what is best for them. When the old building at Geneva was condemned, the question of providi ing a new school house was a proh-; Ilem that would have staggered and, perhaps beaten the citizens of many places. But not so at Geneva. The leaders there went at ; their job and stayed with it until victory was the reward. They have, | one of the finest school houses in ‘ the county and it was built at the I very least cost possible. Every one connected with the campaign ! taking grave chances of some one and the looking after details toI i bring about such a splendid con- ’ elusion, has the right to feel very proud. f TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY I From the DailyDcmocrat File j « ♦ April s—Secretarys—Secretary McAdoo announces he will ask a war appropria- ; tion of three billion dollars.
