There are many things to smile about if you look for them and there will always be plenty to complain of it you are naturally a pessimist. Senator J. Ham Lewis who speaks at Fort Wayne this evening will sound a keynote for the campaign. He has the ability and is a recogniz eel leader. Send the names of those you wish invited to Old' Home Week and the big fair to H. J. Yager, Decatur, chairman of the invitation committee and the success of this event is assured. The democratic party is pledged to restore the automobile license funds, every oent, to the county, and to have it paid at home and the money kept there. That ought to be one very excellent reason why you should support the democratic state ticket and there are many others. The Northern Indiana Fair will be the biggest thing ever. It will be better than you have even suspected and you will marvel at the wonderful program, when it is announced complete. In the meantime boost the Old Home Week part of the event. Invite your friends and plan for a big week. It’s coming August 10th. "Haul by truck” is popular ami growing more so just now, due to the frequent tie-up of railroads, in fact it seems the future method of hauling, but it requires better roads and bridges, a good thing for the community, though expensive. There is one thing and just one to do and that is to meet the conditions, for the community which does will reap rich rewards in the future. The fellow who is yelling the loudest about the present times is sure to be the first one to squeal when they change. It makes us tired to hear some fellow whom we know’ is living better, charging more for his

p services and production than ever, crying about the times. The truth is you are riding on the top wave of the i. most prosperous era ever known in the world and the only trouble is that e instead of being thrifty we are all r spending money like drunken sailors. Mr. Stewart, representing the as s sociatlon which is boosting an auto ’ trail from Chicago to Lima. Ohio, 5 through this city. Is here today. He ) announces that the first guide book > will be out by July Ist and the an * nouncement of a number of Decatur i business houses and concerns will appear therein, the further placing . this hustling city on the map. The more of these highways secured for ( the city, the better it will be in five or ten years from now for they will be so improved that they will largely take the place of railways and tractions. The republican candidates for president have spent millions of dollars, a disgrace to the nation. The buying of the presidency is about the worst thing that can happen for the 1 people and they will realize the fact, terhaps too late. When any set of I men back a candidate for millions, you can bet your last old red cent , they expect some where down the line to get it back and usually they do. It seems with these men to be a , race for the office, rather than for any principal and .they are willing to I , subscribe to most anything that will. t get support. Honestly now, don’t it seem a little rotten? I After all the most important thing to all of us in this community is to keep this city and county moving ; moothly. We must have gas, water, ind light and we must do the things I necessary to assure these. We urge that such steps be taken at once as j to guarantee protection of property ; and life next winter. It takes many weeks to secure machinery under t present conditions. Don’t put it off a day longer than necessary. The securing of fuel is important and A should be attended to now. Every B citizen should stand behind those in t power and aid them in every way [. they can. I ( Carleton B.

The situation as to gas for fuel is rapidly reaching the acute stage in this locality, according to information from the Northern Indiana Gas & Electric company and the local In dustrial Association last evening in telegrams to the senators, congressman and vice president urged their co-operation in securing priority ship ping rights for coal and oil. that the plant here need not be closed down. Officials of the company say that unless this cry for help is heeded the plant cannot operate longer than ' hree weeks. It is certainly hoped 1 that such steps twill be taken as will prevent a of the gas plant 1 which would cause inconvenience ’ and real suffering among the people. The association pledged their united and individual efforts along this line and very promptly sent such word to | the managers of the gas company. 11 . Back again, your old favorites, The .

JUST DISAPPEAR, THAT’S ALL English Newspaper Points Out How Easy It Is to Become “Talk of the Town." Any Inhabitant of any English village can make himself the “talk of the i town” if he will only go away from It suddenly without leaving any address. There is no person of any consequence too dull, too harmless, or too respectable to become the hero of any imaginary crime or good deed if only he will disappear. In a moment he is a center of romance. If he came back incognito at the , end of the proverbial “nine days,” which means of course a much longer < time than a week and a half, he would i not recognize the highly colored portrait which would be shown him of himself. What did he ever do, he might wonder, to be thought so bad or so good, so strange or so silly? ; There is no reputation which could stand up unaccountable departure. ’ Such a vague heading as “Dlsnppoarnnee of a Lady” obviously attracts many readers or we should not see It so often In the r nblic press. Os course, if it can be made a little more definite, and the disappeared person’s birthplace, daily work, or social condition can be particularized, the romantic instinct of the multitude is even more certain to be awakened. The notion that someone bps not been buried, though every evidence Is there to prove that he or she has died, Is a recurrent source of squalid romance. —London Times. TO REVIVE SHOCK SUFFERERS Application of Artificial Respiration Must Be Kept Up Despite Seeming Discouragement Dr. S. Jelllnek. analyzing the effects of severe electric shocks received by contact with tlie electrified wire fences during the World war, wrote in Elektrotechnik und Maschinenbau that an important factor was the state of preparedness,of the victim. Experience, says the Scientific American, has shown that a shock which was likely to prove fatal if received unexpectedly, was harmless when anticipated. Experiments on animals have confirmed this Impression and have been Instrumental in showing that physiological effects of shocks administered with direct and indirect current are distinctly different. It is also remarked that a close resemblance to death after shock should not be accepted too readily as proof. Persons apparently dead have not infrequently recovered when artificial respiration was applied. It is best to give tlie victim the benefit of the doubt. Blow-Resisting Paper Caps. Astonishingly strong paper caps, capable of withstanding powerful blows, though extremely light in weight, have been invented by a shipyard employee, and are Intended to be worn by workmen whose duties expose them to danger from falling objects. The process by which the novel headgear is produced has not been divulged, says Popular Mechanics, but it is known that chemicals nre employed to harden the material, without adding to its weight. Several styles have been made, tlie lightest weighing about seven ounces, and others only slightly more. In a recent test, a one-pound bolt was dropped on one of them from a height of 40 feet, with the result that a barely preceptlble dent was made in the paper. The novel head coverings are proof against water and acids, and are poor conductors of electricity. Make Your Speech Short. It’s a mark of business ability to say much in few words. It saves time. The man at the other end of the wire doesn’t want a sermon from you. He called you for facts, not entertainment. If that were on his mind I he would go to the theater and get I the real. thing. Neither does your corI respondent want to read a page to ' learn that you want six sectional ' cases, quartered oak, dark finish, size 124, grade 299, shipped by express. [ He wants your order in the fewest words. It saves him time and it will save yours, too. It’s a good tiling to alm at the greatest conciseness and exactness of expression. You are apt to make fewer mistakes when you can make few words tell your whole story. You will rise in the business world as you are able to do it.

Diet and Energy The Salvation Army acquires new merit, just as we thought all had been said, when we learn that half of a doughnut will provide lifting power to carry a man to the top of the Washing- ! ton monument (a climb of 555 feet), and six walnuts will do the same, while three medium-sized olives will | see you comfortably half a mile on your way. A single caramel, says a discousaging article in the American i Journal of Medicine, supplies energy I for a mile’s constitutional. Think of ; the mistaken picnic luncheons that , have been laboriously carried in the past. Reflect that six olives and six ' , caramels are all you need to supply i ■ steam for a seven-mlle walk, and think > how casually these man be eaten sit- ' ting over a supper table. A Fair Guess.

"WILL PRAISE IT LONG JSI LIVE" Terre Haute Woman Gains Fifteen Pounds and Recovers Health by taking Tanlac.

Tanlac is sold in Decatur at Smith, Yager & Falk’s, in Berne at Stengel & Craig’s and in Geneva at F. C Deitsch’s drug store. FAIR-SIZED CROWD “Mr. Bob.” eighth grade play repeated by the pupils of the central building at the gym last evening, was attended by a fair-sized crowd. Tlie characters were well portrayed by the students who took tlie parts at the previous performance. The butterfly drill by Miss Bunner's pupils and the other exercises were well executed. The entertainment was given the second time after repeated requests had come to Principal Brown and his assistants. A neat sum was added to the gym fund by the effort and the eighth graders will be watched for future good performances.
