We would like to add five hundred subscribers to our family of readers Tell your neighbors to take the home paper It gives you the news of today first Every teacher of the Decatur public schools has been reemployed for next year, showing the fine cooperation as between teachers and school officials and assuring a continnattam of the progress made the past score of years. The controversy over Monroe township schools continues After all there is no public institutions as close to the people as the schools which the children attend and of course when any problem arises that effects them, every one Is vttally interested. It always was so and probably always will be. A tew more bright June days will help the crops immensely. The spring baa not been aa favorable aa many would like it. After a good early start we went through a seven weeks drought and then when the rains came the weatherman overdid it a little, but there is still a good chance for an average return from the fields. The recent session of the Indiana legislature coat 3147.773. a new all time high and nine thousand larger than the 1937 session The bill had to start In the house where the Republicans were in a majority and this result la surprising after ail the speeches to the contrary made by Mr. Evaus and othera on money spending. Don t forget the new laws governing bicycle riders There are a number of radical changes, made to provide greater safety for those who enjoy this excellent sport aa well as for the public With traffic Increasing each year, the problem increases aa to provldtng the best rules and regula tiona. Whether you like It or not. its the law and should be followed It's fishing time In Indians and lhe boys are at it. So are the girls It's a sport for kings and queens If you have never felt a good slxed fish tugging at your line. If you have never had the thrill of landing a good one. if you have missed catching the limit of blue gills or crappies, you sure have a treat coming And it's just the right time. Judge Harry Conn. 72. well known in this county, former president of the Msrsh Foundation and former judge of the Ohio supreme court, member of an old Van Wert family and a leading rttiaen of the Buckeye state, is dead as the result of a fall down a stairway at the Elka home in that city. He was for bait a century a leader In business and politics and ontstauding in many ways.

Stale Chairman Fred Bays. Roy L. Price, well known farmer j and formerly with the Cloverleaf ' Creameries, will serve aa president \ of the Lion's club, having been , elected to that position at this | week's meeting. The Lions are i recognised as a live service organ-1 tsatlon and Mr. Price wilt prove a worthy president of such a splen-' did club. He has ability and ex- i pertence and will continue the good work that he and bis comrades . have been doing for the common i«y.

Invite cue-, tomers in and take care of them when they come. Let's make this really a greater Decatur and the best trading spot tn the country. Recognition of two well known , local women. Mrs. Guy Brown and Mrs. Henry B Heller, by the Indiana Federation of Clubs is appreciated by the many interested in the club activities of Adams county. Mrs Brown will serve as chairman of the pre-school educational committee and Mrs. Heller as chair-: man of the special garden committee. These ladies have long been active in club work and deserve the honors thus received. The appointment came from Mrs. George Jaqua. state president of the Federation. of Winchester. Most cltliens naturally want to keep out of jail, but a considerable number stray from the straight and narrow way of rectitude and get behind the bars. Now and then an upright person has bad luek and is tossed In the bull pen. I We know one highly-respected and well-to-do man who * sassed a city policeman and because he did not happen to have enough cash to pnt up bail he spent an uncomfortable time in very unpleasant company., And this was in one of the med [ ium good jails of Indiana. We have some very bad jails in the slate, according to the Welfare Department, which baa b«-«-n study-, ing the I<h k ups In all 93 counties.
