The hot weather continues much to the satisfaction of the farmer who has corn in the field. By the way it is becoming a real crop, though two weeks ago that seemed impossible. It has reached that stage where the farmers are smiling a little. The Indianapolis News does not print the opening statement in full of Attorney Ryan for the defense in the Bell trial, though they were particular to give the exact statement of Mr. Rucker covering many columns, for the state. Why this partiality by an indei>eudeut newspaper which claims to print all the news all the time? Decatur merchants should be advertising. The fall season is here and the folks are buying. If they are not buying from you they are from your competitor either here or elsewhere. Invite him to your store and urge him to come by presenting attractiveiv your line of goods in an advertismeut in the Daily Democrat. It pays. The barbecue at Elwood continues to be the big item of interest among democrats of the old eighth district au<i that bustling little city will be jammed to the gates. It will be a day of politics, enjoyed by big ami little from every county in the district and by many from other parts of the state. Adams county should be weil represented as they no doubt wllL Well the county fair comes next, a home enterprise, backed by heme capital and boosted by men who know the game and are making every effort to give you the greatest week of entertainment ever offered. The program is big and every man, woman and child in this surrounding counties should arrange to attend from one to five days. Tuesday is the day of the auto races, Wednesday and Thursday bring the big air ship feature when a demonstration of destroying a fort is given, Friday is governors day when Paul Rohrer will make his initial fligut in an airship. Can you beat it? Besides this there will be races, real ones with plenty of horses and a hundred and one other attractions, premiums for fat stock, a reunion and home

coming and by long odds the biggest week of the year. Boost the county fair. The public hi now informed that the “formal announcement of the candidacy of James E. Watson for the republican senatorial nomination next year will be made at Rushville, Mr., Watson’s home town, in a few days. Mr. Watson has been distinctly told by a portion of his party that it does not want him to be a candidate, while another element is just as insistent ip its belief that he is the precise Moses needed at this juncture to lead the G. O. P. hosts out of the political wilderness. Precisely as it produces horse races and dog fights, it Is the difference of opinion that is going tp invest Mr. Watsra's with most of its spectacular ir '.Test. There is no fact more apparent that the Rushville man is at least going make a heap of trouble for the other aspirants if he does’ut succeed in lauding the nomination for himself.—Ft. Wayne Sentinel.

HUMAN LIFE LIGHTLY HELD Society Formerly Made Little er r*e Provision to Protect It* Membtee, The val-e of life has fluctuated greatly in the different period* of th* world* history. To the Spa eta n» life was cheap. The highest duty was to be a soldier; the greatest honor was to give away life for the state. Napoleon estimated the thousands of lives his conquest for a universal empire would cost, and he marched on. sacrificing them. Life had little value. Under Henry VIII, death was the punishment for stealing three shilUugs; there were 253 crimes punishable by death; 72,000 persons were executed tn his reign. Formerly war, pestilence and famine swept off humanity by the countless millions. During the thirty years' war 18.000.000 of Germany’s population were killed. The black death devoured 25,000,000 people In Europa durIng the fourteenth century. Three hundred and fifty famines have swept over the earth since the beginning of history. Human life has been destroyed like bubbles. Today all this has changed. Smallpox and yellow fever, for ages the two dreaded horrors of mankind, have lost their terror. The new discoveries in surgery have alleviated untold suffering. Formerly operations were performed while the subject writhed and shrieked with pain. To day anesthetic? render the patient as Insensible as a mountain bowhier The leading physicians of the world a few weeks ago cheered long and loudly Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute, when be announced to them that he had stopped the hearts of animals for two and one-half minutes and per formed operations on their salves. Animals have played an important part in the eradication of human diseases From the horse the antitoxic is prepared that saves thousands of children from death by diphtheria. From the cow the vaccine preparation for immunizing against smallpox is made. —Leslie’s Weekly.

Activities of Women. Os the 1,343,055 pupils in the Pennsylvania public schools, 670,433 are females. New York is one of the few big cities in the United Slates without a policewoman. Girls working in the English cartridge factories are so fired with patriotism that some of them are working for 3Q hours at a stretch without any rest. The large number of fisher girls From the north of Scotland wha have been thrown out of work owing to the war will be employed in the Dundee Mite trade. Miss Elizabeth Lister has been appointed as stenographer on th© Great Western & Rhymney railway of England. She is the first woman to act in such a capacity in South Wales. In the north of England, Scotland ind Wales, the maecuMne agricultural laborers are being supplanted by women, who can be seen following the harrow or digging in the ground to keep the growing seed in good condition. Get Rich Slowly. The American Bankers’ association, through its savings bank section, is circulating some facts that the Herald is very glad to pass along, because they emphasize and enforce the strength and possibilities of personal thrift. It is no "get-rich-quick” scheme the bankers offer. But if any experience in life is proved, it is that "get-rich-quick” schemes do not work. They work just often enough to prove the rule, and to prove the companion rule that nothing is appreciated, nothing does any good, that is not worked tor and earned. Riches gained quickly are lost quicklyThe plan proposed by the bankers is based on this proposition: That if a man earning S2O a week saves $5 a week he ca»j double his income by the end of 20 years; and, of course, he will be increasing it all the time — Duluth Herald. The Gypsy Moth and Christmas Trees. Since November, 1912, the Federal horticultural board has refused to permit the shipment of Christmas trees and Christmas "greens” from territory infested by gypsy moth, for the reason that it was deemed practically Impossible to examine thoroughly the large quantity of such material offered for shipment during the brief period at which it is marketable. The board has, however, now relented so far as to announce that next Christmas it will give a trial to the plan of inspecting and certifying these products and allowing their movement.—Scientific American. Suggested Use for- Aeroplane. A novel use for the aeroplane is under consideration by owners of sealing vessels as a result of the failure of the seal hunt this year. It is proposed that two experienced aviators be engaged to visit the east coast and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, respectively, Just before the opening of next season and find the herds. The information thus obtained would enable the fiept to sail direcfly tor the scene of •he hunt instead of spending much time searching for the animafs. — His Sick Friend. , "Sitting up with your sick friend again, eh?” "Exactly, my dear.” "Now tell me the truth, is that friend really sick.” “He’s sick thia time, all right. Ha had an ace full against my tour sixes.”
