The Northern Indiana Fair will have as guests tomorrow Curl B. McCulloch, democratic candidate for governor, and Warren T. McCray, re- 1 publican candidate for the same oflice. They are tine men, leaders of ! the state and deserving of the splendid welcome they will receive in Adams county. You are invited to meet them. ' The health exhibit is u line feature i at the fair and is sure to be productive of good results. The addresses | by men who know will arouse an int-I 1 , erest in humans heretofore much neglected. The work of the Red Cross has more than paid for the trouble and expense and we will hear often of the many good results of '.bis week. It’s all tine and the be ■■ * i ginning of a new era combining edu-. I cational features with entertainment. ( For hundreds of former residents who are here this week, the home I comers picnic will be the outstanding . event. We imagine that after one is i separated for a few years from the j old f iends, there is nothing more de-i t lightful than to meet with them at an t old home week. Each step brings a £ face they have not seen in years and each visit is a happy one. The occasion today ♦ for the purpose of 1 getting all together at one time and ’ it promises to be the big, headliner 1 of the happiest week in many years. — 11 ' Visitors here for Old Home Week > are surprised at the improvements ! in the old town and say so.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, AVGUST 12, 1920.

ORIN IO (ween Wit o KlVei 9 THE SNAPPY LIME DSINK I ■ s&’ ■ I | I 49T ALL I FOUNTAINS 0 " BOTTLED | i I tiful Bellmont park and its posslbilj ities, the building of new homes and i business blocks and the people pullI lug together as never before, there I will be no doubt in any ones mind 'as to our future. Decatur and Ad I ams county will go forward rapidly and will attract here hundreds who wish to live in a live and prosperous and growing community. Os course it pays. It Is reported that a mail automoi bile, probably running between Cleveland and Chicago goes through this city on Monroe street at a Tate ol sixty miles an hour or more. We do not believe the department makes this speed necessary or will approve it and we cannot understand why a driver in government employ has any more hight to endanger the lives of our citizens than has any one else. Officers should report the affair or stop the wild mail man with a lasso. At least we may know the rules ami the cause of the great rush. In his speech of Saturday, accepting the democratic nomination for the presidency, Governor Cox said: “We are in a time that calls for straight thinking, straight talking and straight acting. This is not time for j wabbling.” The candidate entirely : met these demands, for his speech is | a clear and forceful discussion of the issues, and goes straight to the point. It will give the impression, which will be widely shared, that Governor Cox is a more capable man than had been supposed—a man of good intelligence, decision and the courage of his convictions. Most of what he says on the many subjects now uppermost in men’s minds is wise, and also well put. On the question of -taxation and expenditures he . speaks clearly, favoring a reduction i of burdensome taxation, the substitution of a small production tax for the ! crippling taxes now imposed, and such economy—which he thinks easily possible—as will reduce our ex- ■ penditures to $4,000,000,000, including the sinking fund and interest. Th*e author of the budget plan in Ohio, what he says on this subject has special significance and weight. As president his influence would be used to introduce this much needed feature in our national finances. —Indina- ■. apolis News.

DELCO FURNISHES LIGHT Walter Fuelling, the local Delco Light dealer, has u high power search light which he used last night to follow up the farmer’s and mule races. As he focused the light around the track the spectators could see the horses as plainly as in daylight. 1 h< - lights went out in the grandstand and judge’s stand due to the heavy overload carried by there being so man.lights in the park. There was no confusion however for Mr. Fuelling turned his big spot light in the grandstand and the races and other amusements continued the same as before. Mr. Fuelling will use the light tonight and Friday night and you are assured that the night races will be a success. Wage increases, conditioned on a return to before-the-war efficiency were temporarily granted the Kansas City telephone workers. —y ‘‘AIR YE COMIN’ BACK”? The following “Pome” was written by a well known Decatur citizen, to whom much credit is due for the sue cess of Old Home Week in 1912; We want to hear your voice again. And shake you by the hand; And ask you how things ’been with you. Aud talk to beat the band. And link our arm in yours, you know And hunt a comfty seat: And have a good, old-fashioned chat. As friends who seldom meet. And talk about the old boy times: ’Bout folks who lived here then; And wljat become of Bill and Joe, And where’s their sister. Jen. And talk about our barefoot days: When first we wore long pants; What’fun we had that Christmas time. The night we had the dance. You remember you took Molly. ’Twas mighty cold that night; And I had Billy Jones' girl. Bill was a whale to fight. I’m glad I licked him good that time. You see. I’ve kept the prize; She’s made me happy all these years. More’n you can realize. D’ye mind the time on Hallowe’en , Bill, Duck and you and me Put tar on all the school house seats. And all things else we'ed see? Do you think we'll be forgiven. For all those awful lies We told your dear old mother. When we stole her apple pies, And d’ye mind? —but what's the use Os going on like this? You’re coming back to have that chai SHE CAN TRUTHFULLY SAY— Hay fever, asthma and bronchial coughs yield to the soothing, healing properties of Foley’s Honey and TaiCompound as quickly and surely as do ordinary coughs, colds and croup. Mrs. Geneva Robinson, 88 N. Swan St.. Albany, N. Y„ writes: "I tried Foley’s Honey and Tar and results encouraged me to use more. I can truthfully say it is the best cough medicine I ever used. Two bottles broke a most stubborn, lingering cough.”
