They are getting the cars and the drivers ready for the Speedway classic at Indianapolis on the 30th, another sport event that attracts fans from all over the world. The state highway commission 1 is letting contracts for about a mil- ( lion dollars worth of roads each week now which ought to prepare the autoist for a lot of miles of detours, some dusty and some rutty. It is rumored that the duke and Wally may move over to Long Neck and become a neighbor of the Teddy Roosevelts. They could have a better time if they located in mid America and got away from "sassiety.” A thirty-mile speed limit for automobiles in the factory section of town is a step forward. There is no reason to speed along the city streets and a little care may save | lives. Let's all cooperate with the officers in preventing accidents. Amelia Earhart is getting her goggles brushed up and ready for another hop off June Ist on a jaunt around the world. Her attempt a few weeks ago ended in a crackup at Honolulu but Amelia never gives up and so will flop her wings again. The world will be watching. Saturday was tne official day for men who dress in fashion to come out in a straw hat but most of. them are waiting for orders from Old Sol rather than the secretary of the good dresser association. It may be a little early to wear them but it's a good time to buy them. You'll need one soon. Looks like they are getting every thing ironed out for a world heavy weight match between Jimmy Braddock and Joe Louis in Chicago, but it has been chewed over so much the public has lost interest and it doesn’t look like such a gate success as would have come if they had done business six months ago. The sidelines along the route of the coronation parade in London the other day was so packed that •-first aid was necessary for more than seven thousand people, who were either tramped on or who fainted from the pressure and ex citement. That's consolation for, the millions who would have enjoyed seeing the show but were deI tained for some reason. Decatur extends a sincere welcome to Rev. R. W. Graham and his family who have come to make 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

this their home and to live and work and enjoy life with the good people of the community. Rev. Graham is the new pastor of the Methodist church, beginning his duties here yesterday. At Kendalli ville where they have lived they have taken a prominent part in affairs and we hope they will enti er into the spirit of things here the same way. i The Republican state committee which has been suffering from 1 "In'ard Inflamation” the past sev-l eral years performed an emergency | operation a few days ago in which the body was practically severed. I Harry Fenton, secretary for twelve 1 years was "tired," 13 to 9, and Mrs. I J. P. Holland resigned as state ’ vice-chairman. It sounds serious and it's doubtful if the patient can recover from its wounds. An interested citizen wants to know what's the matter with the I ' farmer that he is not to be allowed i to park on Second street? Nothing brother, that we know of. He is the salt of the earth but he certainly doesn't have much chance to park any where in Decatur Saturday night. That's the purpose I of proposed changes in the trafficordinance, so he can at least get 1 1 up to a store for a half hour or hour to do his trading. Under J present conditions the space is all; taken up long before the farmer can get in and he has to walk blocks and carry his bundles or park double. iiii The average purchaser of life in-' surance visualizes his purchase as protection and security for his I family and himself. But his premJ ium dollars are really far more than that. The moment ho purchases a policy he becomes a shareholder in American industry, an investor in community develop- ' inent, a participant in farm financing. For the policyholder s dollar, while being carefully conserved, I must also be kept at work because the interest it earns is an import-, ant factor in keeping the cost of insurance as low as possible. The final payment, two months before due, from the Central Sugar Company to the farmers who grew beets last year, is further evidence ;of the high grade methods used by this concern which has done and is doing and will do so much for this community. The price last year as figured on the partnership basis under which all contracts are made, was $7.01 per ton, giving those who so engaged a nice profit. The outlook this year is excellent. More than a third of I the quota for this territory has been planted and the rest will be in during the next fortnight, if good weather prevails. A motorist in Indiana was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for leaving his car parked without lights, in a spot where it obstruct- ] ed the highway and invited a collision. The supreme court of Pennsylvania has upheld a $7"»500 judgment against a defendant who ran helplessly into another car ajid wrecked it when one of his tires blew out. The tire was worn very thin. Both the lower and upper ' court said he should have had a . tire that wouldn't blow out. Such I judgments naturally please the repair men and the car equipment : people. They may also commend I themselves to the public. A dej fective car on the road may be as much a menace as a drunken driver. ————— An anonymous reader writes to I tell us that "none but a silly bunch of kids would think of building a ; new street along the river bank at' ' enormous cost to get the traffic off I First and Second streets.” Well, j brother, we can’t go over or under ; and if we keep on increasing the I number of motor vehicles, we will, soon have to go some where. The difficulty is that only one street goes entirely through the city each . direction. The river avenue is ionly a suggestion and could not

That it would be a real improvement is assured, but chances of | such action are remote because, as . the writer says, the cost of the right-of-way added to construction , makes it impractical.
