Eutered at the PostolUce In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Dr. Stelzle, who lectured here last evening, made many good points and one especially made a hit with us. He advised that no difference whether you want to sell pickles, lite insurance or anything else, whether you operate a store, a church or any * other institution that needs publicity. there is just one way to get it and that is TO ADVERTISE. Dr. Stelzle is axactly right about it. too. Both of the great political parties are making a vigorous campaign in the state of Maine where an election is to be held September 11th. This is not because of so much interest In the result there but because for many years the results in that state have been taken to indicate the pulse o" the people. The rule has been that the republicans must carry the state by more than 17,000 to assure a national victory in November. That’s why the greatest campaigners of all parties are sent into the state, Mr. Charles E. Hughes, from the e.wy and pleasant vantage ground of hindsight and no responsibility, told the republican party and the qountry the other night that in his opinion everything that President Wilson had done in his difficult and delicate tasks of statecraft during the more than three years of his administration had been done wrong! What would he do? That is a fair question to ask a man who critisizes everything that has been done and who wants to be put in the white house. The people are asking it!—Boston Post. Great political interest centers upon the political situation in Ohio. Democrats in that state are working in harmony and with a feeling of profound confidence. They are de termined to carry the state for Wilson and Marshall and to re-elect United States Senator Atlee Bonierene. He has made the state a splendid representative in the lofty tribunal and has served his country brilliantly. With unwavering loyalty to his party he has kept step with the progressiveness of the age and done much to bring to enactment many wise measures for the general weal.

Dear Friends: — If you want to invest in a farm either to farm yourself or,simply as an investment and you want to get a place at real bargain prices, you are going to have a mighty hard time finding such an investment. We know th»t we have some farms at downright reasonable prices, but we cer- 1 tainly have two places especially that are pure bargains. You cannot be continually going over a territory with a fine tooth comb without locat- i ing something worth while and if you i are interested we will tell you about these two places. One is 145 acres and the other is 135 acres and they are good farms , and can be bought for less than SIOO per acre. We have another large farm located in this county, that is a good farm that can be bought for SIOO an acre. These certainly ought ' to be interesting. We stand ready to give you full information. bur office is next door to postoffice. Respectfully, , THE BOWERS REALTY COMPANY. FRANK M.

The first infantile paralysis victim to be claimed in Wabash, Indiana, was the nine-months-old babe. Marvel Harold King, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred King, formerly of this city but now of Wabash.

Indianapolis, Aug. 23. —(Special to Daily Democrat.)— Attorney General Stosenberg today gave his opinion that members of the Indiana national guard now on the border cannot vote' at the November election, unless they return to their homes. “The election laws of the state require that every voter shall vote in the precinct in which he is a legal resident at the time of the election.” he said. "In the absence of any law authorizing absent voters to vote at the place where they happen to be at the time of the election it would not be legal to permit our soldiers who are on the border to vote in the coming election.” “REUNITED" TmYTH. (United Press Servlrel Chicago, 111.. Aug. 23 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —“The reunited re publican party is a myth. Mr. Hughes cannot reconcile the elements. They don't fit in with his creators,” said Vance McCormick, chairman of the national democratic committee, on his arrival here today from the east ter a conference with western democratic leaders. McCormick made the statement when asked if he beleived the progressives are going back to the old party. He said running President Wilson’s campaign for re-election was a snap in comparison with the job of running one for Mr. Hughes. EDITORS’ ANNUAL OUTING.

ABOUT HIS WORK (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) You know there’ are irrigation canals all over this country, and Donna pumps are for the purpose qf pumping the water out of the river into the canal down at Donna. I rode to Progresso day before yesterday and tlien on down the country across nice meadows to the river. I looked across into Mexico, which looks very much like this sfde. I climbed the tower at Progresso. about sixty feet, built by the cavalry troops first stationed there. The houses, except the store, the church, and the residence- of Mr. Saenz, which are of brick, are nearly all of mesquite frame, woven between posts with reeds and covered with mud. and its roof a thatch of 'grasses. There were no floors and little furniture when inhabited. These are vacant now. All these people were frightened away by the raids of the revolutionairs. The ranchman, Mr. Saenz, who owns everything, even the church, was held up and robbed, his store was robbed and he is now doing business in Mercedes. This happened last spring. Coming back from the river we went east on the old Taylor military road and came to a Mexican’s home where we got our dinner. It was the home of Senor Dominguez. Dinner was of milk and tortillas, frijoles. and eggs, scrambled and fried with onions. Tortillas are thin corn cakes without salt or leaven The corn was mixed with water and then rubbed hard or mashed out in a con eave stone called a mehtate by means of another stone in lieu of a rolling pin. This latter stone is called a ntano.. This is then taken in little handfuls and patted and shaped until thin and round, and laid on the top of a stove to bake. I can’t say that 1 love them, but they are nutritious. Frijoles are beans, a large brown bean, cooked with onions and highly seasoned with pepper. I made out a very good meal more for th| novelty of it than from its palatability. There was a modern Wehrle range in this simple Mexican home, and they discoursed entertaining Mexi can music too, by means of an Edison phonograph. Leaving there, we continued on this military road until we crossed the big bridge over the Mercedes irrigation canal, and then we turned, northward toward Mercedes. Nearing Mercedes we saw orchards of lemons, oranges and grape fruit. Quite a number of date palms were also seen. Long rows of banana plants or trees with the ripening bananas were found on one farm. When this country is once develoved, it will be one of the most delightful places to live imaginable. The waters of these canals are siphoned under the roads. This place is simply fierce. The flys on the tents snap like guns as the wind blows. 1 have a washing out on the line that is not drying very fast. Had a fine talk in the Y. M. C. A. last night by Mr. Heinyman, who is just back from Europe. In the camps oviy there the conditions are terrible. Well, now, my boy, 1 must close and get this in the mail. Love to all. PAPA.
