Poker player* and hvrae race better* should take a tip from the ' experience of the man who saw ' 35 cents grow to 17.000 in a rou-1 lette gambling game. The shock | killed him. — The H<»u*e of Congress has vol-1 ed to repeal the undistributed pro- i fit* tax. The senate will do like-! wise. Now if business can work 1 out a proht everything will be houky dorey. Grover Bcrgdoll who skipped the | country rather than serve in the I army during the war. came back from Germany with 5150.000 and | Americans are wondering how he I got away with that much cash. We ' wonder how he ever got it. A feature of the street fair and ' agricultural show will be the program* and attractions of the ill I dubs. These- organisations are I planning unusual feature* and we ; •re sure you’ll enjoy the parades I and other attractions. Dieting does not worry many] until they reach the forty-year i stage. It's different however, with i the quintuplets, who are said to be too fat for their height and age and Dr. Dafoe has taken potatoes I and candy off their menu. They I were Ave lasi Freddie Bartholomew continues I to put on a Job of acting, which boost* hi* earning* and his parent* ( continue to file suit* to get a share I of it. it would look better to let • the bright young man alone and turn over to hi* parents what h»« has to spend to defend tbe numerous law suits. Orders continue to pour in at tbe General Electric plant and business Is considered good in that hustling ami modern factory. Km ploy me ut ha* increased over the pa»t several months, th« number of the payroll being well over 330. It’s an index to belter time* and we around these parts are grateful for the splendid condition reflected by the local industry. The city light and power plant does not make too much money. The profit made last year was les* than six percent on tbe total plant value and took in consideration only three percent depreciation. Boiler*, turbines and other machinery will not last 33 year*. If not worn out they become obsolete in lee* time than that. Earning* should be sufficient to keep the plant in shape and at the time modernise it with new machinery, without b«nyl issue* or cost to taxpayers. The widening of North Second street, aa petitioned. for by property owner*, will not only bring direct Improvement of the street, but will make it safer for traffic. Thi* branch of the street leads to the Central Sugar factory Mt* and in th* fall of the year when the farmers haul jugar beets

It see* more traffic than any two blinks of pavement in the county, Hidewalk* should be constructed •long the street Snaking it safe for > pedestrian* to walk to und from the Induitrial site. The Tribune In a front page cartoon urges Chicago to start a campaign for more factories, more employment, more uu*clli*li service and a fi-w other plauka which I go with community building. The Tribune depicts that the town, the i nation'* *ecoud largest, is resting j on its former laurel* and that in-I vest or* should Invest In Chicago.' It sound* good, but the trouble ha* ’ been that the Tribune has always I tried to convey the idea ibut the I country was going to rum and that | there wasn't anything good left In i the world. You never get so big , but that you learn. Decatur ha* modern and fir*t j I clan* groceries and meat market*. Either In meat*, vegetable* or 1 I staple groceries the housewife can purchase anything her appetite or , that of her family desire*. Truck* ' bring fn-*h merchandise to their' I doors aud the celery farm* of Michigan, the citru* product* aud | fruit* of California, Florida and the south are only a couple day* I distance from tbe shopper in De-1 | i stur. The score or more of good | grocery stores aud markets make i shopping a pleasure for the wife ' •md mother who attempts to pro- i vide a tempting menu for tbe family every day. I Mayors aud city official* of at number of progressive cities have I sold the WPA on the suggestion I <>f giving their municipalities credit j for material* used in construction I lof state highways through the t | towns. In other words tbe WPA' will contribute in material* as much a* the stale highway departI ment spent in improving city street* over which state route* j pass. It * a bargain for those | towns that got hi on tbe arrauge- | ment aud will save tbe ell les in--1 eluded thousand* of dollar* for ] street repair. The material* turnI i*h*-d by the WPA will Improve many street*, without co*t to the property owner* or city treasury' , ONE MORE ROUND: Maytie you haven't been getting | all tbe gooff break*. Maybe the * | weather ha* been hot and you tee) j like quitting. For a little *timuiatj ing thought we don t know of a I bettor gem to read than the follow- | Ing which appeared in the current number of the Chevroller: "Gentleman Jim" Corbett was probably the best boxer who ever stepped into the ring. He was a master of the art of aclfdefeuse. In hi* autobiography Corbett point* out that each lighter ha* the- same equipment—two arm*, two k-g*. a body aud a bead. The blow* it I* possible to u*e are few- not mure thau twenty in ail. Uhat, then I* the secret that I make* a man a champion? Corbett answer* it with this stateimmt: "Fight oue more round!” "When your feet arc so tired you j have to shuffle back to the center of the ring fight oue more round. "When your arm* are so tired that you can hardly lift your hand* to come uu guard—fight one moreround. W hen your nose is bleeding aud your eye* are black and you are so tired that you wish your oppoti-' ent would crack you on the jaw and put you io Sleep — fight mu . mm* round remembering that the man who always fight* one moreround la never whipped. ’ Corbett practiced wh*t be preached. In hl* Aral fight he won in the twenty-eighth round. To be a champion, to win In the arena of life, hang this motto on the wall over your desk: FIGHT ONE MORE ROUND, it will be an eternal reminder of the fact that a quitter never win* and a winner never quit*. Fight one more round! freda la A Gee* Tews — Oeeata*
