Entered at the postoilice In Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter. Its almost too hot to even think about business or politics but just the same these two important questions continue to receive their share of attention. If you liave’nt taken advantage of the co-operative sale in Decatur, you have two days in which to do so. Drop into any store and you will find they are ready to meet you with bargains that are the real genuine "Blown in the bottom" brand. Is tiiere any one in this community who will give from $25.00 to SIOO.OO to assist in the expense of establishing and fitting up play grounds for the children? If some one will start the subscription we are sure the money can be easily raised. It will require about SSOO and the money should be subscribed tills week. Who will start ,t? ' The Star today contained a cartoon of a poor fellow out of work. The fellow deserves sympathy for there is something seriously wrong the man who hasn’t work now. Western states are crying for men and even here at home it is next to impossible to had any one to do your work. The republican and bull moose press will have ; a hard time putting over the "hard time" fake. We believe the people of this com munity are in sympathy with the young ladies who are working so hard to establish play grounds where the boys and girls can secure recreation watched by older persons and without being disturbed or without inconveniencing any one, but it takes more than your sympathy. It takes money and the men of this locality should contribute to this worthy cause.

He said lie had heard that there was not a mooser left in Monroe county but was inclined to believe that his crowd was larger fhan either the republicans or democrats could skirmish together by long advertising and intimated that he was satisfied with the standing of his party in Indiana. The first day of the big cooperative sale, initial event of the kind by Decatur business men, was a success. By that statement we do not mean to give the inference that the streets were thronged, for that was not the purpose. There were no special attractions, no free shows, nothing to attract any one but those who came to buy goods, brought here by special effort made by the combined merchants of tills city: Every store offered special bargains and they delivered the goods. The various merchants report a splendid business, worth the effort made and it is likely that similiar and more elaborate sales will be conducted In the future. ANNUAL CHILDREN’S DAY.
