A delay costs money. ■BSkaaMK- .aa—aa-.at, ■ Decatur has grown considerably the past year and will continue to do so the next several years as rapidly as we can provide houses. Plan to help provide them next year. The teachers associations have turned down the proposal to divide the state organization into five distinct branches and will go on just as they have in the past, the major ity opinion being that in unity is strength. Advertise —it's the surest method of increasing your business and under the terms of the adjusted contracts now being offered by the Daily Democrat, can be done at low cost. Tell the world who you are and what you have to sell. It pays. The Callithumpian parade will be given Thursday evening and no fooling. The date was changed twice because of conflict with other events but now it’s settled and you can plan to enjoy it either from the ranks of the marchers or the sidelines. If you did not vote in the last election, if you have moved to a different precinct, if you have your name or if for any other .. reason you are disqualified, you should register at the county clerk s office so you can vote if and when you wish to. Whether your favorite teams won in Saturday’s football games or not, there were some mighty interesting contests and after all it's just a game and good sports can see the best plays regardless of which side wins or who the individual heroes may happen to be. The state board of tax commissioners have a big job on right i now’, hearing appeals from tlie various units on the proposed rates for next year. They listen to those who are objecting and then decide' ing the need for higher appropriation than the fixed maximum rates under the law. will permit. The F.'C. Morgan Company of Indianapolis has been awarded the contract to dredge the Wabash river on their bid of about SBB,OOO and announce they will begin work 1 at once. In view’ of the statement that the assessments will be fought as hard as has each step in the long legal procedure, these con . tractors have courage. Merchants are contracting for advertising and we hope fhey will keep up their enthusiasm. Os come* a part of that wish is selfish for it benefits the newspaper} hut also it is helpful to the com munity for every good city has a live newspaper that is supported With paid advertising as well as with good wishes. Center park at the Homesteads ia being landscaped and when completed will be one of the beauty

spots of this section. The work is in charge of Carl Gardner of Washington, D. (’., and Ralph Roop, city , engineer. You will be happily surprised when you drive through the ' grounds next spring and summer and see what has been done to j ; make this section more attractive.! I Smooth grafters, it is reported! from social security headquarters in Chicago, are going around the country through the middle west, representing themselves to be spec- j ial collectors. They are fakirs, pure and simple and should be re- 1 ported to the police for the Social Security Board has no old age benefit collectors or financial | agents. Make no payments to these men if they call on you. We are glad that there will be no change in the routing of federal highway 224 which passes through this city from Van Wert to Huntington and is a part of the Benjamin Franklin highway extending from Atlantic City to San Francisco. In the future this will be one of the really important transcontinental highways and it is important that we keep it as it was a few years ago to be located on the main railways. Those who are attracted to fires —and almost every one gets t , peculiar thrill when the alarm is | sounded — should remember tha'l the fire fighters have a big job, a difficult one, an important one and one in which time means much. They should not be interferred with and the public should cooper-i ate with the officials in keeping the I sight seeing visitors far enough away to assure safety for them- ■ selves and aid efficiency of the fire-' men. The teachers in convention over j Indiana this week have listened to many addresses by men and women of fame. Each had a different angle and we presume entertained | their bparers whether they taught them’ bfr not. We wonder if there is not too much of this “fearing with alarm’’ and prophesying of the future. Usually the speaker has studied his subject until he ■ becomes very radical but perhaps all of it put together, does give | the teacher some ideas from which he can form hisiown opinions and 1 proceed accordingly. The community is shocked again ■ because of the terrible accident Saturday morning in which the lives of two boys were crushed out. Whatever the cause, the result brings deep sorrow to those who knew and admired the Durbin brothers. At Mason City. lowa, a train crashed into a school bus ‘ with a toll of nine dead and twenty injured and from all over the coun- , try come reports of traffic accidents of one kind or another. While we believe almost every one i« is trying to be careful, while offi- | cials are doing their utmost to meet i the problem of increased traffic, the list of casualties continues to grow’ and so far no one has been | able to work out plans to eradicate the great loss of life from automobile .accidents in this country. — o * : « Household Scrapbook | By Roberta Lee Melting Chocolate An awkward and messy job can be avoided when melting chocolate if the chocolate is placed on a piece of waxed paper and allowed to melt by putting it over the top of a boilsing tea kettle. The chocolate will [easily run off the waxed paper. Whitewash Whitewash can be removed from a ■ceiling by dissolving one pound of ■ alum in one gallon of strong vine- 1 gar. Apply with a brush, allow to i soak in well, and then scrap and wash the usual way. Sweater Buttonholes Tlie button holes in a sweater will not stretch out of shape when the garment is laundered if the tmtI tonoholes are busted shut beforo I the sweater is washed. The Rose Bed To protect the rose bed during i the winter, place a frame Os bewds around it and fill in the spaces boiwueti the bushes with leaves. The leaves will not blow away it a few j evergreen boughs are placed on j them.

It should be taught tc. all classes. Teaching or preaching safety, however, is not enough. If the only thing a child gets out of safety education is a buldle of facts he can recite to the teacher or visitors, I don’t be’ieve we have taught him a thing. He must “do” what he is being taught—he must do what people preach to him.
