Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dallies. A Hoosier angler who went out early on the first day of the season almost died of shock when he pulled in a ten dollar bill. He ought to have marked the spot and reset his bait. With hot contests on in the various baseball leagues and the world championship battle between Louis and Braddock coming Tuesday evening, the fans who relish these sports are fairly on edge these days. If the rainy season continues much longer it will interfere with cultivation and making farming somewhat difficult. However, up to now, the crops looks fine and it is quite probable the harvest will be satisfactory. Band concert tonight on Liberty Way. If you like music the Girl’s Band will please you with their special program. The event is put by the Junior Chamber of Commerce to advertise the Decatur street fair. Better join the crowd tonight and enjoy yourself. The Independent Order of Red Men will hold their annual convention in this city July 10th. The Tri-State met here last year and liked their reception so well they voted to return again this year and to make this the largest and best convention they have ever held. They seem to haze the living problem solved over in India where the average cost is eighty-eight cents per person per month. The menu includes rice, millet, milk, vegetables, fats, oils and fruits. It shows what can be done if necessary but who wants to he an Indian? - The season is coming along. They are cutting wheat in southern Indiana and even in the central portion the cereal is turning to a golden hue. Corn in many places looks like it will be knee high by the Fourth of July and that's normal. Keep smiling. This is a great section of the country. This nation has no better patriots or finer'statesman than Vice--President Jack Garner and he will "take care of himseif as he always has, regardless of what any of the commentators may think or say. When he gets ready to make a public statement, and we doubt if he does, he will do it without aid of the special writers. It's a good time to buy your coal for next winter. This is the time of year when it's cheapest and no one is wise enough to predict what the prices will be next fall and winter with the strikes on and an inclination to boost prices gencr- ’ ally. One thing we feel sure about is, you can buy now for less money than you can later In the year, j L_ Il Is said the president will soon talk to the people around their firesides about some matters he ■ believes very important and giving his position and the reasons for it on some problems that he i

i hopes will benefit a large portion i of the people. From past exper- , ieuces we advise it wise to hear him before making up your minds for he has away of selling his ; propositions. j Walter Krick, superintendent of; , the Decatur public schools, will serve as president of the Lion's i service club here during the next i I year, succeeding W. F. Beery, who ■, retires with an excellent record. Mr. Krick will assume his duties as chief July 6th with a strong board of directors and a busy year in support of those movemeuts of greatest interest and help to the community is assured. . Work on beautifying Water 1 . Works Park is nearing completion and the various other public parks I of the city are being put in excelI lent condition. We know of no liner improvement in the city than ; what has been done along this line I the past few years. Forest Elzey. I chairman of the park committee of the city council, is an earnest and enthusiastic worker and des serves credit for the showing , made. * i A year ago the Kansas City Star ( was proclaiming vociferously that I " re-eiection of Mr. Roosevelt would 1 be a catastrophe. Recently that * paper said editorially. "The stage * is set for the best year farmers iu this area have experienced in the i last ten years.” The two posi- : | l tions don't seem to fit exactly but so far we have heard of no ad- t mission this or other partisan pap- r ers have made as to the error of their position. “““i: Natural gas will soon take the i place of artificial in this territory if the petition filed with the state public service commission is granted as it no doubt will be. This should mean a better volumne and a lower rate and work to the advantage of every user of this very convenient and necessary utility. The consumers here will await ‘ with interest the official announcements as to rates and to any , changes in burner equipment that ' may be needed. The public favors President Roosevelt’s ideal to make the underfed aud undernourished and underclothed people of this land more comfortable and we believe the tendency is in that d>*eet«an, but it perhaps will be wise not to move more rapidly than the present ! volumn of business permits. Taxes are high now and we have a deficit to meet. When we have done that we can go on to greater things with safety. Much proj gress has been made along this line during the past three or four years and it is good to occasion--1 ally stop in a race to catch one’s | breath. One of those minor anniversaries i that means more than some of the ; big ones mean comes along on June 19. That date is the sOth anniversary of the founding of the first municipal playground for chil-: dren. When the New York city government voted, back in 1887, to set aside land for children of the slums to play on, it drew plenty of critiicism down on itself. The move was denounced as “a land grab by politicians,’' and substantial citizens wanted to know what the world was coming to if a great city actually spent the tax-! ■ payers’ money to give children a I chance to play. These mutterings I slowly died away, and as time passed, people began to see that money for playgrounds was money well; spent, even from the strictly, materialistic point of view. Other I cities copied the idea, as the tax-■ i payer awakened to the fact that the playground was a fine munici-1 pal investment. Today the play-1 ground idea is so firmly establish-| od all across the land that no one dreams of questioning its worth. So the anniversary of the play-; ground is worth a bit of notice — not only for its own sake, but be- : ; cause it is one more landmark in that awakening of a sense of civic J I

FORMER FRENCH PRESIDENT DIES — Gaston Doumergue Dies Today After Suffering Heart Attack Paris, June 18— (UP) — Gaston Doumergue, who at 70 took charge of the government when the Stavieky financial scandal rocked the nation in 1934, died today of heart disease. Doumergue died at his birthplace at Aiguesvives near the Mediterranean coast. He had just returned from a short walk in his Garden when he suffered a heart attack. He was France's first protestant •president. ‘‘Gastounnet,’’ as he was fondly I called, reached what seemed the climax of a long, honorable political career when in 1924 he went from the presidency of the senate to the Elysee Palace as President of the Republic. He smiled his way through 15 cabinet crises during his seven years as presideutTwo weeks before his term ended Doumergue. an apparently firm Lachelor, married Mme Jeanne Graves, his childhood sweetheart. , She was wealthy. Happy to be out of office, Doumergue said as he retired: , "They wont get me out again.” He went down to his beloved provence to live, near his birth house, at his bride's chateau on a great i estate. Three years later Sacha AlexanI dre Stavisky, a mysterious finan--1 cier, committed suicide. A scandal whose repercussions are not yet over was precipitated. Stavisky had defrauded hundreds of thousands of people of many millions of dollars by fake bond issues and other devices. Soon mobs were raging through • the streets of Part, threatening the ’ government and parliament. Police shot into them ana many were wounded or killed. The government fell, Doumerguy . consented to form a national “SalI ration’’ government. | He lasted for 16 months under a political truce.
