It is said that Harding, the senator’s nominee for president owns or is interested in several coal mines' mid if such is the case he'll not receive much sympathy at the polls next November. The coal operators are selling their coal to the highest bidder it seems and the people must suffer. It will be just one hundred and forty-four years on July 4th that th

'Declaration of Independence was signed by Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, John Hancock and the other men of immortal memory. This day probably means more to America than any day in history and it should be observed in dignity to the occasion. If the weather is agreeable, that is for motoring, one almost dreads to see the Fourth of July and the added holiday come, knowing that when you pick jip the paper next day, you'll read how many were killed as the result of accidents or collisions witij trains and inleru-rban cars. Try tt) make the day safe, you’ll live longer. A majority of all of the business houses in Decatur, including the banks, will be closed Monday. July sth, in ob servance of Indepedence day, the holiday fulling on Sunday this year. "Mayi i Y auer. the W. R. C? and other similar organizations requests that the business houses and homes be decorated on this day. We should at be willing to do that much in observance of this great day.

11 Cheer up. Stanley Wvckoff, fair i price commissioner for Indiana has | announced that the price of sugar <s , I coming down and right In face of the iaiming season. Mr. Wyckoff states . that sugar took a trop of $1.24 on th" houndred pounds, which will be good news to the house-wife, yes, even to the man of the house, whose pocketbook is now somewhat ''bent," anti the canning season just started. Decatur should be glad that it has it bund. Other cities the size df ours, Bluffton for instance, is making an effort to get a band, at least give a concert once a week and as the town tas not sufficient talent of its own to organize one, they propose to bring one in from' out of town. Everyone loves music and you are invited to attend the concert to be given this evening on Second street. Support the band. So far you haven’t heard or seen anything about a “steam roller” being In use at the Democratic national convention or of a secret meeting it the “Blackstone” for the purpose >f selecting the candidate for presilent. The convention is not infested vith those senators who demand of

he candidate that he be their “rub her stamp.” The democratic nomi nee will stand out as a man of initiative, free from all control a-iid the ( American people will be glad to vote for him. We doubt if the people will apprec iate that canned oratory of Harding's which he had reproduced on the phonograph records. Such dry stuff will not enterta-i-H people that have become accustomed t® the best and think nothing of laying down five *to six dolla-rs f®r a “Red Seal" record ot Harry Laudi.ir’s, Joh-n McCormick's. Sousa’s or some other well known singer or entertainer. Life is too short to while away your time listen ing to a cut and dried speech, written and approved by other people apd then bel-low-ed out by a “rubber stamp” candidate. Now is the time to think abeut your winters supply of coal. Get in touch with your dealer and find out what the chances are of filling your bin before winter sets in. With

strikes on a number of railroads and with the mines operating Only a few days each .week it’s going to be a hard matter to supply every person with coal this year. The local dealers are endeavoring to get coal to Decatur, and at a reasonable price, knowing that a good many of us will have to “freeze it out” if the Coal operator wants three prices for his commodity. The price of a seaspn ticket for the Chautauqua is only two dollars, that is if you buy one before the seven hundred are sold. The Chautauqua is less than four weeks away and the program this year i> u>e of the best on the circuit There will be music, singing, light operas ind lectures by some of the best speakers in the country.

Their satisfaction or ay-will be in seeing that everyone enjoys himself to his heart’s content. It is hoped that this year’s Old Home W*eek will equal or surpa-ss the marvelous success of the one held in 1912

and the co-operation and assista-nce of every person is asked to this end. With the holding of the celebration in connection with the Big Northern .Indiana Fair, Indiana's biggest attraction this year, the “home comers’’ 1 and visitors will be. entertained in a most pleasant way and the beautiful Bellmont Park will be an ideal place for you to meet the “old timers” and enjoy a happj week. Write to them to come. We have always contended that the swivel chair members of the state highway commission should not be invested with such powers as they have, this power costing the taxpayers of the state millions of dollars each year and no good is obtained from it. Their recent action in the matter of improving a road , from • Martinsville to Indianapolis ! shows the injustice done the public, i This highway commission, clamoring I to get a road built to Indianapolis, i designated three highways between , Martinsville and the Capital city. ' while only one was needed. Work ; was started on one, then on another and finally on the third road, while | attorney fees and labor costs were i paid on one road, only to find that this designated road was not the one ; to be built. The work done on the i roads was suddenly stopped and there they are. The money has been ! paid out, the taxpayers must foot the bill and then they have the audacity to say that the highway law as it stands now should not be changed. You have something to say about that for the election is only four months away. I Through the purchase of the sixtyfivqfthousand dolors worth of-City Improvement Bonds by jthe three | Decatur banks, ample ’.nonley’will lie furnished for the improving of the water works and electric j light department, which will have to be done 'I ' I 'V .< if she, municipal is to ,take,care of t its new and old industries and ! have a sufficient reserve of power

and water to supply future demands, which will come with the growing of the town and the enlarging of the ' General Electric company’s factory, ■ the Decatur Castings company's plant and the Krick & Tyndall Tile factory. With the present machinery, those in charge of the municipal plant state that it is absolutely impossible to supply the amount of power needed by tiie . Decatur Castings company and the G. E. after they both" get going full tilt. One of the first things to be done by the council will be the drilling of one or two new wells in order to obtain’ an adequate supply of water for the water works. Another proposed improvement will be the installing of a new one thousand K. W. turbin in

the electric department of the plant, which with the present machinery Will manufacture enough power for all present demands and take care bf the future. Decatur cannot progress unless power and water is furnished to its factories and if the improvements are needed for this purpose, there is but one thing to do and that is to provide for them. The council is acting in good faith and with the help dnd co-operation of every loyal citizen they hope to accomplish these things. The money will be spent in away that w-ill benefit the city as a whole and it will be a step forward in keeping our promise with our new industries that power mid water would be furnished them. ♦ ABOUT THE SICK ♦ 4 t V Mrs. Robert - returned to her home here after being with hermother.
