Entered at th© postofflce in Decatur, The Indiana League of Postmasters cf the Third and Fourth classes is Hiding its state convention at Colutnlus. The subject. “How to Stay on the Pay Roll With the Other Party in Power,'' appears by some oversight to have been omitted from the set program, but it is hardly probable that it will escape feeling, if informal, consideration by the postmasters.— Fort Wayne Sentinel. The announcemen that a division ol opinion among V officials has caused a delay in the selection of a site here is not worrying anyone very much. It will work out ail right by the time it is necessary and if anybody gets a new' rederai build.ng ja the next appropriation Decatur wiil get hers, if not, we can get along without it. According to the news, there are over three hundred cities in the same class. Do you think Decatur is the best town in the state? We do. Business is brisk here right now for the season and our streets look like a city's thoroughfares. Take a walk down main street any afternoon or evening and you will see a stir that proves that we are alive. Then why not say so. That makes it better. If you don t boost no one else will- Remember that this is mid-sumer, between the seasons, and that a town that keeps moving along lively at this season is a good townWe don’t believe any one will take ' very seriously the partisan remarks of Senators Smoot and Burton on the tariff question. It was to lie expected and the fact that they had nerve enough to express the (Ainion that this new bill gave too much attention to the consumer will be the only surprise. The fact is that it is about time attention was given the consura<r for ail the attention.for fifty years has been to the infant industry and how to make the consumer pay a little more without him knowing it.

Ice Cream Social—Washington Church. WHO ARE LIKE PRICKLY BURS“She was a good woman," said a Decatur girl, “but in some ways she reminded me of a prickly burr- When mother saw her coming to make a call, mother would hurry and lay a rug over the darned place in the carpet, and turn the old chair, that had been through all the family bumps and mumps and measles, so that its scarred side could not be seen. But it never did any good. Mine visitor was perfectly aware of those tricks- Her bright eyes saw clear through them. She would no sooner be seated than she would say. 'Your carpet is like mine, it is beginning to wear out;’ or. ‘Your chair is like mine, the varnish is beginning to crack,’ and so on and so on. She would bring out your furniture or your I clothing and make it run the I gauntlet, showing every seamy side. If she had only suggested a way to darn it, or varnish it, to make it look better, one would welcome her suggestions. But she never did I She brought out all the seamy sides, and wont away leaving ragged, fringed edges, unbound. She was never enthusiastic over anything that anybody had that was prettier than hers, either 1 often tried her, by suggesting that such and such a neighbor Md jsucb a pretty new drestFor-bWfty new piece of furniture. and the 'Yes' that very grudgingly fell from her li;>s. was not nearly as brisk as the voice which found the darn in our carpet.’’ • • * • * But there are so very many i>eople like this in the world! And they are always ready to mention the blots, splotches and sore places.' without suggesting a remedy. Why mention that which cannot be remedied or helped by so doing? Everybody has some sore, bruised spot on his mind, soul or body that he is trying to keep from further injury by exposure to thewoild, .Jf you cannoV~* soofninglotion, don't uncover it for him. There are some persons who may have been indiscreet at times; some who have been in prison; some who have lost a limb; some who have lost their hair and are sensitive about it; many who have suffered misfortunes in many ways. They may be trying to <over up those scars or misfortunes to make the best of them i and trying to begin anew. Yet the world will not let them; it will persist in bringing them up again and again, retarding recovery. Don't be a prickly burr, unless you can “prickle" to some good purpose, and make the “prickled"

place better by so doing The Tri-Kappas will be entertained Thursday by Miss Bessie Boyers.
