When the census is taken next year it will show a substantial increase in population in Decatur the last ten years. America no* leads in the making of tops. We thought business would catch up with dads desire to play with the trams and gagdets. Nine out of ten farmers in Indiana take a daily paper, one of the highest averages in the country. And did you ever see a better farmer than a Hoosier? The heavy rains of early spring brought new life to the trees, lawns and shrubbery and as you drive about the countryside never looked more beautiful. It s verdant wherever you look. The northwest was swept by s tornado over the weekend, killing about a dosen persons and injuring several score. Tragedies pile up in a country that seethes with life, the lucky person being the one who beats the law of average, it seems. — We welcome our many new readers and hope that the paper continues to appease their appetite tor the home news, national and world events. Every effort will be made to make every issue of the Daily Democrat “newsy" and interesting to read. Plana are going forward for the big street fair and agricultural Show. July 21 to August sth. A | lot of interest is shown and the , committees and directors of the , Chamber of Com mere* plan to | make It one of the moat entertain- , tug and laigeat osar held. i Decatur has a potential trade , area of about 20 miles square, , populated by more than 25.000 per- ( sons. It Iles in one of the best , sections of the country and good roads lead to the town. It business is good any place it should be , equally as brisk In the Adams county seat. America enjoyed the friendly visit of the King and Queen. The Queen made quite a hit In Washington and New York writers sre profuse tn their description of her and her kindly manner Nations should be friendly and America end England have net a good example for others to follow. Jack Benny and hie radio gang. Including Rochester and Carmichael. are going to give Waukegan. Illinois, a touch of Hollywood thia week Tbs famous comedian has gone back home to preview his latest picture and incidentally get a little free publicity. It will be a big time In the famous suburban town and a thrill for Benny. An Ohio mother has confessed to killing her ten-weeks-old son because the child prevented her from getting around au she would like Such tb.i-.g* occur when men and women forget that the grutsat

pleasure In life comes with rearing children, their devotion and love J In the home, with the family is where we should find peace and ’ contentment. ■■■ i The New York world's fair Is not clicking as Brut thought. The 1 i trouble may be that America's bigI geat city Is too big for an event 1 of thia kind, regardless of the' ! merit of the super-colossal, stupen- ! , dous exhibit. Most fair crowds 1 come from the middle west and it's i a long distance between here and i Flushing, site of the world of to--1 morrow. High commissioner Paul V. McNutt confirms the statement made by Senator Minton a few days ago that he will not be a candidate for president if President Roosevelt seeks a third term. That should straighten it out for the newspaper columnists who have been trying to pin something on the senator. Mr. McNutt is returning from the Philippines this month. Congress is planning to adjourn as quickly as possible and the legislative calender has been re-, du< ed to three major bills, indud-1 Ing tax revision, relief and mone- ; tary measures. The members will appreciate a rest and the country will be glad to have the session over. It's vacation time and when the terrific heat hits Washington, I bad humor creeps uuL Hitler la doing away with the Newspapers in Germany, freedom of the press is not enjoyed over there to begin with and If an editor voices an opinion contrary to the dictator's policy, his plant is closed. Six years ago Germany had 4.703 daily newspapers. Today this number has been reduced to 2.000. It would be a poor place 1 for those newspaper publishers who now and then "strike below I, the belt.” Chances are the Phenix. French ( submarine, will never be raised It lies on the ocean bed about 375 feet down and engineers claim there isn't anything to combat the ' pressure at that depth. The 71 men are sealed in a steel i Maybe in a thousand years the I boat will be accessible with the | change of currents and someone ' will write about it like they did a score of years ago when the tomb of King Tut was unearthed. Illinois is not satisfied with its I three percent sales tax and the ' legislature is planning a two per- ( cent income tax. The sal<-s tax raises about 75 millions a year and It is figured that the uew income tax will produce about the same amount. Why change? After all the old age pensions, dependent children relief and other governmental obligations must be met and a sales or income tax must be used to raise the money. Please don't overlook the state forests when on your motor trips ' Up north you will be interested in looking at the new Francos Blocum forest, along the Miasisstnewa River. • The fences have been removed and It begins to look like a recreational nroa. The Saia monie River state forest, and the ■ Wells county forest and game preserve are others In the north of the state, in the south, one that will Interest every tourist la the Harrison county state forest, and another is the Scales Lake state forest. We have merely mentioned a few at random. Your state map will guide you to them and you will find good roads loading to or almost to <he entrances. Look them over. You are welcome. — j Outdoor Indiana. • — p Modern Etiquette I* Sy ROBERTA LEE J Q If a man has been introduced to a girl, and likes her very much.' bar be the privilege to aak her if he may call on her?

GOVERNMENT IN ACTION “Saving The Soil and Trees'* • - - —

TTNTOLD thousands of dollars’ V' have been lost to Indiana and to Indiana farmer* and land owner* as a result of erosion and the' improper use of land for •gricul- 1 tural purposes. The waste and despoliation of Indiana forest resource* reached* a staggrring sum in the early, days of our state, but the re ‘ moval of timber from areas not’ suitable for agricultural purposes,, followed by unwise agricultural ( practices, useless drainage, allowing the soil to erode and the water to rush down our atroama carry-1 ing silt from the upland farms,! is far greater than the market value of the trees removed. Because of slrta tromendoua kws, the State Department of Conservation. together with Federal Government agencies have been, spending millions of dollars in practical programs of education and actual demonstration to prevent further inroads upon the valuable farm lands sqd to return alreedy useless land to fta former

COUPLE FINDS $200,000 MINE Young Nevada Couple Hitchhikes To Chicago To Test Gold Chicago, June 20. —(UJD - A week ago the McDermotts of Nevada, broke and hungry, were found disconsolately curled up for the night i tn a park, a sack of rocks for their ' pillow. Today they learned those rocks I were worth B<9o and that they owned a 9200.000 bonanta. Tom McDermott, a young prosi pec tor. found an abandoned mine near Las Vegas. Nev., several months ago. At the M-foot level he discovered a half-inch vain of what he though was gold-bearing quarts. Leasing the mine, he bashed the working another 100 feet while the vetu expanded to foui Inches McDermott, hts wife. Lucille and their 4 year-old daughter. Iris Ann then set out wHh sample* of the ore to have them tested by a Chicago gold firm. Their jallopy broke down at Galva. HI., and they hitchhiked the remaintag ISO miles carrying the precious samples on their backs. When they arrived in Chicago, all their money was gone. McDermott offered a ISO piece of ore to a hotel clerk for a meat •nd bed but was refused. The McDermotts turned back to the park There police found them •nd after hearing their story took up a coHectiou to shelter them until the testa were run McDermott walked Into the gold firm's offices this morning to learn the verdict. "You've got a rich strike.'' he was told. "The samples indicate the mine Is worth at least 8200,MeDermott and his wife took the news calmly but it meant something more to Iris Ann. “Goe!” she said “Now can I gef another Ice cream cone?”
