I--I.- . - — ■ — Strange combinations of straw hats and overcoats today make you realize that the time is near for a change of season. It’s a good time to advertise. A little taste of autumn weather this morning makes one think about tile coal bin, winter clothing and one tiling and another. It’s bound to come and you might as well be getting ready for it. The Portland boys arc arranging for a special car to the Elwood barbecue next Wednesday. The car will leave there just after the train from tlie north gets in and it will make it very convenient for those from this county who wish to attend. The occasion is to be the biggest of the season in a political way, with Senators Kern, Lewis and James and Governor Ralston on the program. Come, and go along. The total tax rate for those living in this city shows a decrease over last year of twenty-two cents, which helps some. The tax rate is yet high and it necessarily has to be when we are building stone roads, new r school houses, maintaining municipal plants, building new brick streets and concrete walks, but our city is in excellent condition, the debts are being paid and the improvements kept up, and the only thing to watch is that you are getting a dollar’s worth of improvement for the dollar you are taxed. We believe you are in this city and county and that the time is near when the tax rate will be reduced to that point where*we will hav ethe lowest in the state instead jf the highest and have along with that the best improved city and county in the country. If any democrat in office or out of office imagines that the democratic party can be frightened into frenzied preparedness he is making a serious mistake. We are now spending more than two hundred and fifty millions a year on the army and navy—ten times as much as we are spending on the department of agriculture. We have been "getting ready” by gradually enlarging the appropriations. Why get excited now? Our preparedness is increasing relatively as other nations exhaust themselves. No nation wants to engage in war with us—no war is

In sight or even probable, unless we lellberately Invite it by falsely aecusng other nations of being enemies and by making hatred a national policy. The rank and file of the democratic party are producers of wealth —not manufacturers of arms and ammunition and they will not consent to the taxes necessary to meet the program of the jingoes. The masses favor peace and know that preparedless is both a burden and a menace. —W. J. Bryan. We extend the hand of welcome to the veterans of the old eighty-ninth, who are meeting in annual reunion here today. We know from their smiles and hearty hand-sakes that they are enjoying themselves and talking over the incidents of fifty years ago and the many changes that have occurred since. We are. glad so many are privileged to be here today and that they so much enjoyed the entertainment provided. May they contniue so to do for many more years. In these stirring days of a world war, when this splendid country is the only great nation at peace, we more fully appreciate the sacrifice made by the brave men of sixty, who ottered their lives that the old red. white and blue flag might continue to float over a united states. With such men to make up our citizenship, we need fear no nation on earth. Welcome, men of the eighty-ninth, and , your families. The keys of the city are yours and we hope you use them in any way that will bring pleasure and happiness and contentment to you and yours. i I DOINGS IN SOCIETY |; WEEK’S CLUB CALENDAR. I Tuesday.

If you meet a man who is down in the mouth, who thinks that his town is all wrong, just take him aside or out for a joy ride and hand him this quaint little song: There are fancier towns than your own little town; there are towns that are bigger than this, and the people who live in the tinier town all the city excitement miss. There are things you can see in the wealthier town that you can’t in the town that is small, and yet—up and down there is no other town like your own little town , after all. It may be the street through the heart of your town isn't i long, isn’t wide, isn't straight, but , the neighbors you know in your little town with a Welcome await. In the i glittering streets of the glittering 1 town, with its palace and pavement and wall, in the midst of the throng ’ you will frequently long for your own little town after all. You measure a town, not by money, or miles its border extends; the best things you can . have, wherever the town, are contentment, enjoyment and friends. If you'll live and work and trade in your town in spite of the fact that it’s small, you'll find that the town —your own little town—is the best kind of , a town after all. —Exchange. | —o — — CAUGHT IN ENGLISH MINE i (United Press Service) i Numeaton, Eng., Sept. 21.—(Special : to Daily Democrat) —An explosion in ■ a colliery near here last night trap- I ped 269 miners in the lower levels.

! PUT SULPHUR ON • AN ITCHING SKIN ■ AND END ECZEMA Says this old-time Eczema remedy is applied like cold cream. Any irritation or breaking out on the face, arms, logs or body when accompanied by itching, or when tho skin is dry and feverish, can be readily overcome by applying a little bold-sulphur, says a noted dermatologist. Ho states that bold-sulphur instantly allays tho angry itching ami irritation and soothes and heals the Eczema right up leaving the skin clear and smooth. Bold-sulphur has occupied a secure position for many years in the treatment of cutaneous disorders because of ita parasite-destroying property. Nothing lias ever Isvn found to take its place in treating the irritable and inflammatory akin affections. While not always establishing a permanent cure it never foils to sulxlue tho itcliing irritation and drive tlie Eczema away- and it is often years later before ivny erudition again appears on tlie skin. • Those troubled should obtain at any drug store an ounce of bold-sulphur, which is applied to the affected parts in the same manner as an ordinary cold 'ream. i —— — fARN S2OOO TO SSOOO YEARLY * «->.

I OUR PUBLIC FORUM~I r —i Ralph Peters On Railway Mall Pay . cnntrO versy has been raging in the columns of the JF .A between the railroads and the Federal Post Offi. 0 W non.Hm.mt over the question of proper compensation W V for Wing ?be United States mulls. Mr. Ralph Peters FJL* Chairman of the Railway Mai Committee, when asked to state the railroad aide of the controversy to th. Ame, ’The railway mail pay* question will be settled— and •JWZ BPtt led permanently and with justice to all conccrned--8 the American people realize that the whok » 88 bj 8 ° ct whl i.' seemingly complicated and technical boils W down to a few simple points of fair business dealing Iff need be a rato expert to understand. Post Office Department weighs the mails, and re7 h ?„ flr nL o f the mtlroads only once in four years. This compels the x: EX. SEmmLo l». .!>•■ !■« ,bs “"■ |cd half the parcel post for nothing. ••A second noint is this: In addition to carrying the mails, the rail roads are required to operate many traveling post offices for sorting and ddstribSting the mails while in transit. But the Post Office Department pays to? such post offices only where they occupy whole ears, and pays nothing in manv cases in which It merely requires the use of post office apartIn the mans cae i.s although such apartments differ from the full Sy “port B More Than 4 200 apartments of this charocter have been fitted up, and are maintained for the exclusive use of the Post Office Department. Failure to pay for them has been an especial hardship to the smaller roads on which the Department does not find it necessary to utilize whole cars. "One last point: In thousands of instances (though not in all) the Post Office Department requires the railroads to carry the mails back and forth between railroad stations and post offices, but pays them nothing for this extra service bevond the rates covering the rail transportation. The railroads have no choice but to perform this additional service gratis, or refuse to carry the mails at all. “Now for the remedies the railroads ask: Thev do not ask tn have the mails weighed dally, or to have each shipment weighed and paid for separately, as is done In the case of private shippers. They merely ask to have the mails weighed, and the pay of the railroads adjusted, at least once a year instead of once in four years. They also ask that apartment post office cars be paid for, at reasonable rates, according to size. Lastly, they ask that the Post Office Department cease to require of them free messenger service between stations and post offices, and either relieve them of this service or pay fairly for It. These are the reforms the railroads ask of Congress. They gladly lay these reforms before the public, confident that they will appeal to the common sense and fairness of American voters.”
