Os course that car of yours will travel at a rate up to ninety miles an hour but you are betting your life when you try it. Times have certainly changed wheu returns from the outlying districts have to be waited for to decide an election in Michigan. We believe there are ways to prevent double parking ou the down town streets if those who should be interested really want to do it. The weather may not be just what you want it but its about what you ought to expect for this time of year if you have been a Hoosier very long. If you are planning on getting any painting, papering, remodeling done this spring, better get your orders in now for most of the contractors are getting booked up for weeks ahead. It's about time to clean house, cleau the yards and put ou our best appearance for the summer season. It helps to have every thing looking like we took pride in caring for it. Remember that it's up to us to cooperate with the state highway commission in working out the permanent route for highways 27 and 224 and it's a very important duty for what ever the decision is this year, will continue indefinitely. Mailing lists are now being checked and the few subscribers who have not renewed are request ed to do so at once. Only a paid up list is considered a good list and we are anxious to have the Daily Democrat one hundred percent paid up. The campaign to raise *6OO in Decatur to aid the Boy Scouts is on and we are sure the good citizens here, recognizing the excellent work done by this organization designed to help boys develop, will respond as they always have, one hundred percent. Good communities always have good roads. They just naturally go together. We need some improvements in Adams county and we can get them if we give enough of our time to assisting the state highway commission and urging ■I — 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 &d« drew and new addreea.

them to give this good county her , rightful share of improvements. A Gallup poll shows that seventy per cent of our people now believe the American participation iu the World War should never have occurred. We agree with them but ■ i a vote taken twenty years ago i I would have probably resulted about j the opposite. We are usually sorry ' after we realize we acted foolishly on the spur of the moment. To make the Decatur Agricultural show and Free Street fair the . success it should be will require the cooperation of every one. Mr. Fryback and his assistants will do I all they can to arrange the details , but the enthusiasm must come from you folks. Last year's Centennial was one of the best events ; of that kind ever put on in the middle west. We can make this ! year's event just as good if we; get back of it and boost. - ■ Mrs. Andrew Spyropoulos was ’ I buried in Chicago today. That name means little to the average person but in the gay old nineties, she was the Sally Rand of the . Chicago World Fair and the big 1 attraction on the grounds. Later she became a shy and reticent ' woman who detested publicity. A suit against "The Great Ziegfield "| ' for portraying her a nearly nudee ' wriggler and demanding *25,000 is | ■ still pending. Efforts to build a modern school building in Decatur continue and , with better prospects than a few weeks ago. The original plans including a modern auditorium were discarded because the cost, estimated at between three and four hundred thousand dollars with equipment could not be financed. Now application for a grant based on an estimated cost of *245,0v0 ; has been tiled by the architect and :t is believed this (an be arranges. If later it is found the additional rooms can be added, this should be easy to do. One of the hardest jobs in the world is being a hospital nurse. Her hours are long and her work is important and strenuous, her mind being taxed every minute as she gives attention to her patients. She is entitled to rest and relax ation. Under present condition at 1 the Adams County (Memorial hospital, with the third floor now in use for beds of patients, the nurses 1 must do the best they can to relax, i There is no doubt we should have a home for these women who de vote their lives to render aid to others when they need it most. Vurtis Neal and Hugh Marshall, the young toughs who kidnaped William Bright, an Indianapolis druggist last January and murdered him, were found guilty by a Shelbyville jury. The penalty is death in the electric chair. It was one of the most brutal murders in recent years and entirely uncalled for since the man had obeyed every order of the bandits. In the trial,. the father of Marshall testified how he heard the boys planning the holdup and advised them how to proceed. He has been arrested as an accessory and will be tried for murder. Twenty years ago this nation had declared war on Germany and was beginning a program that was to take four million Americans into service, cost us billions and “make I the world safe for democracy.” We succeeded in ending the Wo/ld War temporarily but we missed our proposal to end wars by a long shot. The world is still fighting and efforts are being made continuously to again draw us into the , conflict. If we have learned any lesson from the expensive expertI ineut it is that it doesn't pay and 1 we are sure the citizens of this ‘ country Teel that the less we have I to do with our brothers across the ; ocean so far as settling disputes i are concerned, the better it will be tor us.

Former Monroe Resident Tells Os Dust Storms In Kansas

Brown dust, in huge billows that tilled the sky for miles and blotted the sun from view, causing a stygian darkness that rivalled Alask- ; an nights in length, was the picture 1 of the dust storms, described today by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Isgrigg. of Bigbow. Kansas. The Kansan coltpie, visiting in Monroe with Frank Martz, live iu the heart of the western territory that was recently afflicted with the dust storms. Storms that lasted for as long ’as five days —during which time the suu never shone, and residents were holed up in their homes by the swirling dirt—were a common occurrence, the couple stated. One Sunday afternoon, the couple i related, when they were able to leave their home for the in sT time in several days, 15 scoop shovels of the dust were taken Trom the i i inside of the house-in. the cleanup campaign that followed. ■ Livestock suffered extremely and persons in some instances were forced to wear especially constructed masks to keep the flying par tides out of their lungs. Even auto engines were affected by the dust, some cases known where an i engine stopped when the dirt clogged the motor passages. After one of the storms, shovels and plows, similar to the ones used here to remove snow, were put into use. the couple stated. Drifts six to eight feet high, piled against

Just as soon as the shoots show above the ground cultivate the soil thoroughly and work in the boanmeal. Each peony should be allowed three or four feet radius of space to give best results. Hardboiled Eggs When hard-boiled eggs are to be served cold, place them in cold water immediately upon taking them from the hot water. This will make the shells come off easily, and also prevent the yolks from darkening. Rough Hands Add a few drops of vinegar to the i rinsing water on washday, and it will help prevent the hands from becoming rough.
