Get the weeds cut and you'll take more pride in the ownership of a vacant lot. If Amelia is still living, the past week no doubt seems the longest in her life. Watch the traffic lights and be guided accordingly. That includes pedestrians as well. Walk with the green. Well, well! "Diamond Lil" Mae West now remembers and actually admits she was married in 1911 to a fellow by the name of Frank Wallace. The buxom siren of the screen always claimed to be a spinster and to say the least has now reached that age. Chairman Mat Breiner has the stage all set for the Tri-State convention of Red Men here Saturday. The crowd will come from three states and Decatur will play host to the fraternal order the second time in two years. It would be tine to have all guests feel that way—return agdln. Two young men at Goshen borrowed an airplane and started on the skyward trip. The plane went into a spin and crashed, killing both. They certainly wanted to end it all, for borrowing a plane and taking a ride is a little more risky than asking for another's auto. It’s suicide in another form. The nation still loves baseball and when a good game is scheduled even the president of the Uiiited States will take time off to see Dean and Gomez do their stuff. Proceeds from these all-star league games form a fund to assist old ball players and to provide them with a home after the arm or leg gives way to time. The business district continues

What Is A Trifle— A loose thread, a lost minute, a penny more or less? Any of these things may lead to unexpected but important consequences. Just how important is the penny? The ads in this paper give you a good illustration. The pennies you save, multiplied by the minutes you gain, will become savings that mount into the dollars. These are trifles worth while.

Ad- \ ministration leaders who favor the i amended bill have garnered a vote ''or two and the line-up of senators I is said to be 38 in favor, 37 opposed and 21 still non-committal. Indiana's senators are divided on ' the question. Walter Gard, genial and accommodating agent of the Pennsylvania railroad was installed last 1 night as president of the Decatur Rotary club. Walter believes in giving service and there is no doubt about him making an able pilot for the local club. We bespeak another active and beneficial year for the club which he and the new officers will serve. The strong financial condition i of the First State Bank of this I city is again noted through publication of its regular bank statement. With loans of $834,000, the bank has more than $573,000 of cash on hand, bonds totaling nearly $900,000 and other assets which total up to $2,327,565.06, a high point in local bank circles. Demand deposits total nearly a million dollars, while savings accounts and ; certificates of deposit are more i than $1,100,000. The bank is growing with the community, is making a nominal profit and rendering excellent service to the people. A feature of the agricultural ' show during fair week will be the t program sponsored by Cloverleaf 1 Creameries of this city. The - creamy, which 20 years ago start- - cd to develope the dairy industry in this county, is participating in the 4-H Club show and in addition will hold a special program 1 at its plant oir Winchester street. L Invitations have been extended to ’ all persons interested in dairying ’ to visit the remodeled creamery and the new cheese factory, which was recently placed in operation. ’ Carl Pumphrey, who acted as ■ president of the Centennial celebration last August, will be general (hairman of the dairy day event and it promises to be one of the highlights during fair week. Decatur has long been recognized as a community possessed of a spirit of cooperation to an unusual degree, but nothing better exI presses idea of the helping hand 1 than the combined boys and girls school band, the culmination of a II movement to train the youth of the city and furnish wholesome entertainment for the public. School officials, pare n t s and friends have assisted Albert Sellemeyer, the director, in building up a 75-piece all-school band which, in its first public concert this week, proved a credit to the men and women who have backed the program. Mr. Sellemeyer de- ! serves the thanks of the community for his important part, which has meant hours of untiring effort In training the members, handling the details and raising the funds. Attend one of the remaining weekly concerts being sponsored by the Decatur Junior Chamber of Commerce. You will get a thrill and be well repaid for your time. Kathleen Norris, famed authoress of more than half a hundred books, writing in the Rotarian magazine recalls her brother’s ! enthusiasm when, as a lad of 14 l years, he came home one day to (tell his mother about the telephone, then in the early stages of its development—in the 1890's. The boy ( predicted spiritedly that when large hotejs would be built, there would be a telephone on the first floor and also one on the top floor, i "so that folks won't have to go all

the way down to the first floor to answer the phone.” “And that, son," cautioned Mrs. Norris’ mother, "is the kind of exaggeration which makes the world laugh at you.” But men young in mind will always dream dreams and see visions. Some of them will be quixotic without a doubt. But some will not. And wise men will ponder long before they scorn “exaggerations.” .... Is the prediction that some day war will be outmoded and nations will settle I differences around a conference table to bo scorned? Is the guess that in the years ahead employers and employees will solve their problems without recourse to strikes, blacklists, and lookouts more chimerical than the “exaggeration” of the young chemist who saw aluminum in clay? o First Plows of Tree Branches The first farm plows were made of crooked tree branches and worked by man power.

Mifin CHANGE MADE Eligibility Requirements Are Changed l or CLC Enrollment Indianapolis, July 9— Eligibility requirement changes, governing acceptance of applications for enrollment in the Civilian Conservation Corpe under recently enacted legislation extending the Corps to June 30, 1940 have been announced here by Fred Hoke, acting director of the governor's commission on I unemployment relief, the state selecting agency charged with investigating all Indiana applicants for corp* membership. Under the new law, any unmarried youth in the state between the aes of 17 to 23 years inclusive, who is a citizen of the United States and who has not served more than 18 months In previous CCC enrollments and Its at present unemployed and in need of employment, is eligible to file application for enrollment, Hoke stated. A previous I statement that applicants having | less than two full year's service i would be eligible was erroneous, i Hoke said, pointing out that ths , new law limits total service to two i years. AU enrollments are for a six month period. Hoke pointed out that while the maximum age limit had been reduced from 28 to 23 years, the new lawmade provision for accepting applicants whose families', are not now i on relief. Under the old law, enrollI ment was restricted to those whose families were on relief or eligible 'to receive relief and the enrollee , was rejected unless able to name an | eligible allottee who was a blood ' relative or one to whom he was obligated and in need. While enrollees having dependents will still be required to make allotments of pay to such depend-
