43 at 6:45 o'clock. The event Is of particular interest this year because of the world war and the recent Invasion of the flu rope* n continent. O—O There is a shortage of houses every where, lu every city and town and In the rural districts which makes us wonder where ail these people lived before the war boom came Os course several million have married and requires homes of their own but abo many new homes have been built but the de mand continues. After the war we will settle down and if necessary sufficient new homes will be constructed to house every one. —O—O Moat of the broadcasts from Berlin are phonies, according to Elmer Davis, director of the office of war information for thin country. lie says that Goebels is the most dangerous news broadcaster in the world today and gives out only such news, good or bad. as he thinks will help Germany. We know that the news from that source woud be colored to suit them and Mr. Davis ass that we give little attention to reports from enemy countries. O—O Millions are praying that the in-; vasion and the wars in every sec tor may soon end tn a victory for the right. If you believe in prayer and almost every one <lw«, join the others in askiug that the terrible conflicts may soon end. that permanent peace may result and the people of the world be given the opportunity to turn to God in gratefulness and appreciation as they surely will. Let’s prove our sincerity by trying harder than ever to follow the teachings of the Disciples throughout the ages and tktoe Golden Rule. Then we will have a happy world. O—O The state highway commission bat, again postponed the improvement of highway 27 from Coppess Corner to Berne, though it is badly needed and requires considerable ' upkeep during each year. The reason probably is that other pro Jects have been urged with greater force by petitions and otherwise The commission naturally orders construction of those road for which the greater demaud is made Evon though a highway improvement Is badly needed, they have no way of knowing it except by reports from those who use that particular stretch of road. We believe if sufficient names are signed to a petition now being circulated, and representatives from the Chamber of Commerce or other service organisations are added, quick action can be obtained. O-O—-This community has lost one of her most valuable cit teens In the death of Herman J Yager, for more than half a century, an ardent booster and a leading business man. Whih- his death was not unexpected, hte passing is nevertheless a shock to we who knew htm well and admired bls sterling qualties. ’ Active In lodge and community ser- | vice until he became 111. he was always willing to do his full share. ■ He was one of the organisers of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce and in every effort to Improve con- ' ditlone here, took a prominent part. He had personality, good judgment and liked to help, in talUng health the past two years, he had shown some Improvement recently and his ■ frlendh had hoped he could enjoy 1 the summer months but It was willed otherwise by He who know•th best.
