Every once in a- while a republican i meets a republican or a bull moos.-r m» "-ts a bull mooser and there’s a little conflab of how It Can be done. I Each party will hold a meeting this i v,«ek, a meeting to figure out how ; gome partisan advantage can be gained. The people of Decatur are satis-, tied with the conduct of municipal rtf-: fairs during the post eight years and

ri.ould and will show their approval by voting for the nominees of the democratic party. Rev. F. J. Milnes, president of the National Indoor Game association, has published an interesting article showing w hat he believes to be the reason for the decline or slow growth of ruial towns, and he does not place all the hlatne on the mail order house. After discussing that phase of the problem he says in part: “But the ultimate cause oi the artested developments of towns lies farther back. According to my observations, one of the sources of this deplorable situation is a prevalent misapprehension, on the part of many rural citisens, of the fu"dament.il jaws governing municipal grew th. The expansion of any one line ot business in a given town, for instance, is limited by the variety of type cr kinds of other enterprises represented in th • same community. Failure to grasp this economic principle explains, in no trail degree, the decline of rural population.

CALL FOR LEGIBLE SIGNATURE Business Concerns and Hotels, as Well as Legal Firm*, Find Themselves Compelled to Insist on That. "Kindly favor us with a legible signature," is an appeal now often encountered. It appears on the letter heads of many a legal firm and is conspicuously printed on contracts and other important documents. In hotels this request is sometimes used as a heading on each page of the register or printed on a card. It hangs In plain view of the counter. A room clerk in one of the big hotels declares that the task of deciphering signatures has reached a crisis. “It has got to the point where we couldn't bluff on names any longer." he said. ‘‘ln these days of constant telephoning and telegraphing we’ve simply got to be sure that every j guest's name is correctly entered on i our books or there's bound to be trouble. "Os course a successful hotel clerk ; must have a gift for deciphering bad signatures just as he must have a good memory for names and faces, i but when a man we've never seen be- ; fore comes in and scrawls a long ! wavy line on the register without a ; single letter plain enough to even guess at, how are we going to call him by name the next minute? He | may have important mail waiting for him or he may be telephoned for any minute, so our request for a legible signature arises out of a necessity.” A member of a law firm on whose letterheads is printed "A legible signature is requested.” says that these few words have saved his firm much trouble. Papers no longer have to be returned for resigning, as was formerly the case, because the first signature could not be read. Before this request for a legible signature was made important legal documents often had to ba entirely rewritten because one of the parties refused to accept the signature of some of the others an account of their illegibility. A large employer of labor baa made it a rule recently to have ail applications for work brought to him. He orders each letter folded so that the signature alone shall show. He goes | over these, picks out the signatures that appeal to h*m and gives these applicants precedence over the others. Restaurant*. 1 A restaurant is a place where you i pay four dollars for fifteen cents' worth of food, accompanied by about two dollars' worth of light labor, light I china and light music, which you have heard before. After leaving your hat with a Wall street syndicate, ycu pay all the way from ten cents to a quarter for the privilege of getting it back and wearing it once more. The difference between a man and voran | Indeed today is quite simple. A woman pays fifty dollars all at once for her hat. while a man pays five dollars for his and fifty-five more in tip Installments for storage at restaurants while he is vainly trying to obtain enough nourishment to sustain life between times. The object of all restaurants is to furnish ycu with everything you want except nourishment. This is carefully

extracted from all food before it reaches you. Every restaurant nowadays has attached to it a homeless hotel r.nd a drugless drug store, also a newspaper stand, where you can buy a paper for not over twice what you can get it fcr almost any night you don’t want them at the same rates Every restaurant also has a wine cellar, which is filled with native cobwebs, European labels and California grape juice. -Life. Bref But Neat. During the journey of a royal train • from Balmoral to Windsor the ordinary passenger traffic was very much disorganized, and express trains were suddenly "drawi up,” to the no smell annoyance of ccnr. me trial men and others, who could truly say that with them “time was money." An express ( train between Perth and Aberdeen was a great Btifferer in this respect, end n certain commercial traveler was qu.te boisterous in his denunciation of t'-.o frequent steps At last when he had tired tlx fellow passengers with hit grumbling, he flopped down the wit.- i •low and shouted: "Guard! I say. guard!" "Yes. sir.” answered the official ad- | Jressed, approaching the compartment. "Oh. guard, this w simply i ng! Why all these stops? What’s' up. man, what's up?” Said the commercial traveler. In bantering tone*. The guard's reply was brief, nest ■ and certainly to the point, for be simply answered: "The signal." The "cornmercial’a window was '.loscd with a bang.

ALWAYS GROWING OLD ItEMtY NO SIGNIFICANCE IN 'WOWING ONE’S AGE.” •Simply Means That Internal Changes Make Appearance on the Surface, Not That There Need Be Decrease In Capability. - - Dr. Woods Hutchinson, in his book “Common Diseases,” entertainingly discusses old age conditions that will j come to each of us if we live long enough. “If we are going to do anything to cure the disease of old age, we must i begin before birth. Indeed, as Oli- 1 ver Wendell Holmes wittily remarked in the prevention of disease, *wej must begin with the grandparents.' - The socalled senile changes are , changes which have been going on j ever since we began our Individual • existence “The time when we begin to feel old. the particular period at which we ; begin to 'show our age,’ is merely that period at which these internal changes have reached and shown themselves upon the surface; in which, so to speak, these microscopic , ilteratlons have finally become visible to the naked eye. “It is nothing short of absurd to say .hat a man becomes old, or senile, or ! incapable of further development or j •ncapable of the conception of new ; ideas at. or after, any special or par- , tlcular age. There is no one period ' it life In which we grow, and another > n which we decline. Both processes are going on side by side in every part of our body from the day we i are born Just as the life of the body .means the death of certain of | its cells, so the growth of every power and faculty means the sacrifice ; md the decay of others. Every primitive cell of the embryo lays down part of its life to become a muscle tall, a n "drone, a blood corpuscle, or I i bona cell. ‘The process has no limit, any nore than it has beginnings. Life is Just that, one-third dying that two- i thirds may live, whether it be the single cell, or the hugest and most ■ elaborate body. While In such gross 1 matters st mere avoirdupois and statire. and the actual horsepower of cur ‘ muscle*, we reach a limit, a period it what we ar-' pleased to call rv I rarity, at a comparatively early age; I ret in other and more important respects we continue to grow and develop steadily, to a very much later • period, fifty-flve, sixty and even seventy years. New and valuable j ichievements. masterpieces tn every -ea'.m of human activity and interest. 1 iare been produced hundreds of! tees in every decade, up to and Iniludlng the ninth. “It is obvious then that there is no 1 lard and fast 'dead line' which can possibly be drawn, beyond which no j | further growth, or fresh creative es- ' fort, or new enterprise, or Improve- j ' nent Is possible. In fact, by living a , lealthful. active, happy life, and keepng up all our interests, we can grow ■ md develop and adjust ourselves, and I
