Charles Walsh, the man who made the airship Hights at Bluffton last week, fell 2,000 feet at Trenton, N. J., Thursday afternoon and was crushed to,death. It seems to be the fate of ail the bird men and already a large number of young men have given their lives in the test of machines that will navigate the air. William J. Bryan, tile great Commoner, and the man who held the key to the situation in the Baltimore convention, will make a three days' trip over Indiana this month. He will probably speak, in this city early in the morning, going from here to Bluffton and Warren by auto. He will have an audience worth while, no difTerenee what time he comes to Decatur. The democrats of Indiana are swinging out in good old-fashioned style just now, and the size of their meetings is further proof that the people are with them, that Wilson and Marshall will be elected, as well as the entire state ticket. The Governor Wilson meeting at Indianapolis Thursday night was easily the largest event of the kind of the year and his trip across the state today was a most successful one. The meetings of Senator Gore. Senator James, Dr. Wiley and the other men of note are also wonderful and the atmosphere is tilled with signs of democratic victory that cannot be doubted. Again we call your attention to the tact that Monday is the last day for registration. Don’t let anything get in your read that will prevent you .uni to that and above all don’t deliberately keep from thus qualifying yourself for election day. We have heard of a few who have said they wouldn't legist"- and now dislike to break their word, much as they would like to register and vo’e. To them we can only say, that a ba J promise is better broken than kept and such a promise was sure enough s bad one. You should be for yourself all the time and the .pan who doesn't' rigitte - is banning himself above al; others. In discussing the work of the school. Superintendent Charles A. Greathouse lias emphasized what is being emphasized by ’to best school systems of the country: namely, Hut ■ the school exists for the child and that the work of any school should be related to its environment. Agriculture should Ire emphasized in the rural schools of Indiana and manual training receives greater attention 'in ’he city schools Domestic science should find a place In both rural and city

To buck up against it they have decided to increase their storage capacity, and while others bewail the lack of coal, they expect to have laid away in the future, a big supply to help out the citizens of Decatur in the time of need. They are doing this by purehas-. Ing the old Vant'amp Foundry proper-' ty of more than four lots and buildings west of the G.

The purchase was made front Otto Reppert, who has been maintaining a foundry and machine shop there.
