Reports from the devastated districts hit by the cyclone are to the effect that labor is needed in the building of temporary homes or places of shelter for those who had their homes carried away or completely destroyed by the speed king. If you wish to do a good act and aid mankind, lend a hand in the reconstruction work. It is needed more than clothing. The splendid people in this city! and community have already given I a hand in relieving the suffering and burdens of those who were struck I by the tornado. Relief committees were out today and were assisting 1 those in the devastated districts to: get their places back to normal as' near as possible and with the feeling that prevails among the people of the ■ community any call for assistance or help will be gladly answered. It looks like Mississippi was going! to beat Delaware to it and ratify the: woman suffrage amendment, thus enfranchising the women the country J over. With the help of the vote of j the lieutenant-governor, the Mississippi senate passed the amendment yesterday and indications are that the lower house will act in a similar manner before the week is over. You'll have to hurry Delaware or the distinction will be pocketed by another.

The Cold That Hangs On This is No. 5 of a series of advertisements, prepared by a competent physician, explaining how certain diseases which attack the air passages—such as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whooping Cough, Measles or even a long continued Cold—often leave these organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording a favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Vick’s VapoRub may be of value in this condition.

A cold is simply an inflammation of some part of the air passages—throat, larynx or bronchial tubes —just like a sore is an inflammation of the skin. A long continued cold means constant inflammation and this constant inflammation frequently weakens the air passages so that they become an easy point of attack for invading germs of more serious diseases. A “cold that hangs on,’’ therefore, is simply nature’s “red flag” indicating that there is trouble below,” and this warning should never be neglected. Nightly applications of Vick’s Vapoßub will aid nature to clear up that inflammation. Because Vicks acts locally by stimulation thru the skin to draw out the inflammation, attract the blood away from the congested spots

p around, that is paired off in a wa: so their home life is Just half a: congenial as they would make yot believe when they’re on the screen ' "Doug" Fairbanks and Mary Pickforc p were married the other day, the form . er obtaining his divorce about a yeur ■ ago while the "Idol of the screen was granted one a few days ago. It would make some serial if the lives and home-happiness of these movie stars were shown on the screen, but the question is, would the public enjoy looking at It. The Decatur Home Builders' association is a reality, the organization has been perfected and plans art I now being made to proceed with th? building of a number of houses ini this city. The stockholders, directors! and officers of the association are I good business men and it is an assur-l

cd fact that the company will be al go and that it will prove to be a good I investment for those interested. The I company proposes to build as many I houses as possible this year and with! a paid in capital of thirty thousand! dollars will commence building this! :>ring. This is good news to the com I munity as houses above all thing? I are needed in Decatur and we join! in wishing the members of the as I sociation all kinds of success ini t heir worthy undertaking. | With the governor's promise out to I call an extra session of the legisla] ture with the state auditor demand ! ing that one be called to get the! money 7 shortage made up, the gover-l nor returns from a pleasure junket! and refuses to say whether he will! call the extra session or not. The! problem of the “extra session" has! come to be something of a joke ini Indiana. Now you see it and now you! I >n’t. The truth is that the repub-1 liean politicians are afraid to let! down the bars to the investigation] that w ould probably be demanded by I an impatient public opinion. Watson I ho has had experience with an ex-1 ira session is horrified at the thought I Goodrich is suffering from cold feet. I Hays is in a nervous chill at the idea. I And all this too with the republican! late auditor declaring that he will! not assume the responsibility for the! financial condition if one is not call-1 cd. All this too during the “business! administration" of a “business man! for governor.”—Fort Wayne Journal-! Gazette. In the following short article, W.l M. Hepburn, librarian of the Purdue! University library, very clearly tells! as the importance of a public library! to the community: “A library is just as much an es-| sential feature of the educational and

These vapors are breathed in all night long, thus bringing the medication to bear directly upon the inflamed areas. , Vicks should be rubbed in over ! the throat and chest until the skin is red —then spread on I thickly and covered with hot flannel cloths. Leave the cloth- ' ing loose around the neck and the 1 bed clothes arranged in the form ! of a funnel so the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. If the cough is annoying, swallow a . small bit of Vicks the size of a pea. > Samples to new users wall be I sent free on request to The Vick 1 Chemical Company, 235 Broad Street, Greensboro, N. C.

uLocial machinery of a community at is!are the public schools. In many re mlspects the library goes farther and „ Las more directly upon the social d I structure of the community than do i I the schools, for its activities we not i-| limited to the ages between 6 and 20. "I One of the best services patriotic t| citizens cun render their community J is to see that a real modern public I library is developed and maintained.” t| And to think that the Decatur 11I hrary must be closed because the I state tux board thought more of I playing politics than the value of ■I such an institution to the conununI ity. A tax law giving power to memI bers of the commission to close a I library or school or saying whether lor not the people can appropriate I their own money for the operating I expenses is a disgrace to the state lof Indiana and the voters will cerI tainly vote for the repeal of it at the I coming election. The Indianapolis News, the FairI banks owned paper, always fighting I Tom Taggart, evidently has seen a I new light. While they hew pretty I well between the lines, and say nothI ;ng positive, still the editorial paraI graph below rather commends Mr. I Taggart to the voters, and that is I some concession for the News: I “On Saturday Mr. Taggart allowed I himself to be persuaded by the state I ommittee to become the candidate for ■ the democratic party for the senaI tordhip. It was a very happy solution I for what was, for the committee, a I difficult problem. Without in any I way disparaging the other men I -.poken of it may fairly be said that I Mr. Taggart is probably the strong- : I est candidate that could have been I chosea. He is widely popular, and I miong members of both the great I parties. During his brief term as ■ I senator he bore himself well and , won the respect and confidence of his associates. He is also a shrewd and i resourceful political leader, and his services to his party in the approaching campain will be helpful. So far from seeking the nomination, it can be said that it was almost forced on him. There can be no doubt of the sincerity of his prior refusals, based as they were on excellent reasons, reasons of a personal character. Evidently he felt that when his party called so persistently it was his duty to respond. It is to his sense of partyloyalty that the democrats are indeted for a candidate that is so eminently satisfactory to them. The state committee must have felt a great sense of relief when Mr. Taggart accepted the nomination.” ♦ + + + + + ♦ + + + + ♦♦♦■l + ADVERTISING RATE * ♦ * + The rate for advertising in <• + the special G.
