The sum should build a good many miles of improved highway and this county which now leads all others in number of miles of macadam should be recognized for her efforts and we will be if we get into the game. I, tr’-i hove poy. er tcaiud a teiiow who uidu I agree with us on that subject. Then why don't you do it? If you can do business while tlie other fellow is marking time you will have that much advantage and the only way you can do it is to advertise. The Daily Democrat reaches 15.000 people and they all want to trade in Decatur. They ought to be invited to do so each day. Thirty-five thousand people yesterday filed past the casket which contained tile body of the beloved poet, lying in state in the capital building at Indianapolis yesterday, thus paying their last respect to the great man whose death is today so widely mourned. From the president of the United States down to the plainest urchin of the street have come expressions of sorrow over the loss of this great Indianian—James Whitcomb Riley. The government has started a probe of the print paper situation in this country through the federal commission aud here’s hoping they find the cause of the scarcity and correct it quickly. The price of paper has more than doubled during the past few months and even at that price the publisher has to beg for it and it will at least bo interesting to know whether or not it’s all on the square or just another case of a few fellows getting rich easily. By all means, let’s have the investigation, and at once. And the heat kind o’ gets in the back of a feller’s neck and sticks there and the bill collectors grin and laugh when you say, "Whew," and everybody kicks and asks you why you don’t boost and the paper man tells you that print paper has gone up another cent or two and your friends have all gone to the lake or to the mountains and everything looks like it was upside down, and we just sweat on, knowing tligt this is just the way things should be the last week in July and that the crop of smiles and corn and other things.

"When the frost is on the pumpkins" will be worth it all. So keep on smilin’. The New York progressives will vote as they please, refusing to be "sold and delivered" by any man. Bainbridge Colby thus expressing the position of many thousand moosers in this country: "The progressive party in this state takes its place with the progressives of Massachusetts and California, of Indiana. New Jersey, Michigan, Missouri and all the others. It can't be delivered. That is all there is to it. The Ferk-ins-Fiinn national committee as an authoritative organ of the party is spurned and cast away. The warnings and predictions, which the national committee refused to heed, are coming home to rcict, and with a vengeance.” "Work is so plentiful in these days that it's almost impossible to dodge it,” says Kin Hubbard in the Indianapolis News, aud he says a mouth ful. It's only the lazy man who is not working if he is able these days, and he is getting more money for his work than he ever got in his life. .. . Abe Martin say that the newest thing in knockers just now Is the prosperity knocker, another sad disappointment to the republican politician who has argued for many years that a democratic administration would moan a string of soup houses from Maine to Los Angeles. And now all they can say is that the era of prospreity is only temporary. Well, the only way to prove that it Isn't is to try it four years longer, and that's what we are going to do. John A. M. Adair, democratic candidate for governor, will open the campaign at Fort Wayne August 17, and it will be a real opening with plenty of enthusiasm and a get-away that will start the boys to work with a will. Fort Wayne does things and so docs John Adair and the two together ought to start things off just about right in this very important campaign. From that date on the campaign orators will be busy and every voter in the state will be given ample opportunity to hear the issues thoroughly discussed. Indiana is to be a battle ground this year, as it always is, aud the greatest orators from other states as well as our own leaders of renown will proclaim the whys and wherefores. There will be many big political gatherings during the next three months, but none of them will be of more importance than the first one at Fort Wayne. | DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEKS SOCIAL CALENDAR.

Barnard called attention to the discovery of many dark objects on the photographs taken with the Bruce telescope of the Yerkes observatory, often in regions of the sky where there is no ordinary nebulosity and where the stars are too few to form a luminous background for their relief. The appearance of these objects in black relief on the plates can perhaps be explained on the assumption that space itself possesses a feeble luminosity sufficient to affect the sensitive photographic plate with very long exposures. In Case of Burns. The best immediate application for a burn or scald is carron oil. This preparation of equal parts of linseed oil and lime water should bo kept always at hand when there arc young children about. When a child receives a burn or scald, shake the bottle of carron oil thoroughly, then saturate some lint, gauze or muslin with It and put on the burned surface Clean olive oil or vaseline are good substitutes for the carron oil. —Delineator. Three Lies That Are Condoned. According to tradition. Mohanuuec held that “Every lie shall be written down as a He by the recording angel with the exception of three: A lie toli In order to reconcile two men; a lying promise made by a man to h!s wife, and a ile in which a man. when en gaged in war, makes a promise or a threat.”
