Tlio grim reaper has removed another pioneers cltlscn who for many years played an Important part tn the business of Decatur. Charles Sether, for half a century -tMtiig'-JI in the manufacture of cigars and whose product was favorably known far and wide has been called to bls reward. Good naturvd. a hard worker, hi built up a splendid business and for several decades employed a large force of people. Ills acquaintance was wide and his death Is mourned by many who liked him. Maxie Baer took a terrible eleven round beating In his match with U»u Nova, showed more gameneas than when Joe Louis took him but couldn't stand the pace with hl* thirty year old legs. Nova will get a crack al Louis probably after Labor Day, provided the brown bomber puts Tony Galleuto away M la expet ted. The game is losing in popularity because of the lack of brawn and muscle and nerve to combat Louis as to shown by the fact that less than 30.000 witnessed the Thursday night scrap. Officer Prior. talking to the Rotarians. told them of the effort being made by the state police department. to control traffic and prevent accident* Greatest came of accident * last year on state highways was the driving on to preferential roads without stopping. A careful watch for those who violate this law has greatly improved conditions according to report* for the first three months of the year. Mr. Prior's talk was very enlightening and should be heard by more clubs and organisations. ■'Learn the truth and follow It." was the excellent advice given by Rev. Frederick F*vhrvnba< her of St. Joseph college in his address to the graduates of the St. Joseph high school. last evening. He warned against the “toms" and the propaganda so prevalent the last several years and told them to be sound and sensible. Father Seimetx, In his happy way enthused the young people as he also advised them how to miss many of the pitfalls of life. It wa* a happy and splendid occasion and twenty-one seniors and twmty-aix grade students received their diplomas. The lure of radio has not taken •he tamer's time away from bis new simpers. On the c ontrary, farmers take and read more newspapers today than they did 10 years ago. This was revealed today in a survey <>n the sources of information which the farmer uses and the farming practices which be employs. The survey reports that more than seven out of teu of the 32,000 farmers personally Interviewed in 35 States, taae a daily newspaper, and noire than ball of them take a weekly. This r.-pr.-Mitts a gain nf 7 |>er cent in farm-er-reader* of dally newspapers over the number reported in a similar survey mado 10 years ago by the same agency. The Increase in daily newspapers was not made at the expense of weekly papers, because the weeklies also show a gain of 1 per cent. The proverbial increase in Sunday school interest just before Christmas to mild when contrasted with the sudden show of religious seal on the part of the partohonera at St. James NpiMepal Church in Hyde Park. N. Y. The flurry of enthusiasm over church attendance is due to the fact that King George VI and Queen Elisabeth will attend service with the Roosevelt family on the morning of June 11. That will be a historic and memorable occasion nobody in the vjctnlty wants to mis*. It has afforded to the Rev. Frapk R. Wilson s fine <mportunity to reward the faithful and get even with those who are not so faithful. Each of the 350 partohooers kas made appiirstio# tor a ticket suaauai to admission even to the church
