The selection of Mr. Mclntosh of Worthington as the democratic candidate for state superintendent will meet the approval of the people of Indiana. He succeds Miss Baylor who telt unable to leave her federal position. The beet weather ever known in the middle west with rain and sun shine properly distributed, means the best crops ever known here, for which »i- are all thankful. Ijet’% hope that nothing interferes to prvent the realization of this prophecy. Decatur is pulling together now as it never did in its history and it’s progressing. We have just started and within a few years we propose to be the best little city in the state. It can be done and it will be done if we continue to think right and work hard as we have the past year. The Northern Indiana fair will help ndvertlsd this community and the activities planned for the future Bellmont park mean more than many peo-

Thousands of MEN Visited our store last week because they saw tile “United Sign” Because they knew there were brands of cigars equaled in quality nowhere else; Because they knew there was a complete slock. This sign should mean something to you. Think It Over. Lose Bros.

ple think. Add this to the other improvements in this county the past few months and it will be seen that we have done much towards u greater am! I better community. Co-operation is the biggest thing In any community. It ntadu the fair last week. It will make Adams county If we stay on the job as we should. j This can be the best little matiufae turing center in the best agricultural and stock county in America. Don’t that mean something? Let’s all work at it harder. LP.?.'--The New York Evening Post, recognized as the greatest independent I newspaper in the world, has announced its intention to support Cox and Roosevelt. They declare Harding a . •‘‘Say-nothing and do-nothing” candi- 1 date, and not qualified for the strenuous problems that must be faced by the man who assumes the presidency at this time. There never was a time when questions of greater import were before the people than this year. In this state the tax muddle, the expensive administration, the special sessions of legislatures has brought about a condition that warrants a change. It’s up to the voters to qualify to vote. Register Saturday, September 4th, in your precinct and get this part of your duty off your mind. Mr. Harding has decided to stick to his front porch and it is generally believed that he is afraid to start out on a stumping tour. He must carefully prepare his speeches which are then censured by Deacon Hays and other ring masters before he gives utterance. It must be embarrassing and a lot of trouble. In the meantime Jimmie Cox and Mr. Roosevelt will go*to the people with their nies ages and they will be worth hearing. The state tax board has approved the personal property assessment of Adams county and kindly notified , the local officials that there will be •40 horizontal increase on same. Isn’t that fine? Os course the assessment is three times what it was and the new rate will fairly make you gasp Ivut it's encouraging to know that the men in power at Indianapolis have decided not to take any more this year. Good citizens who are qualified to vote will not for any reason refuse to perforin that duty. The way to 1 make this country better is for each and every citizen to vote. You should have enough interest in your county, state and nation to assist in the sei lection of the men who conduct as- ! fairs of government. Men may diffei ' with you in politics but they think better of those who vote against them i than those who do not vote at all. i We have no time for the non-partici-j pant in the affairs of greatest importance. It is surprising to see wdiat has been done in the factory district durI ing the past few months. Less than I a year ago, the territory northwest i of town was somewhat desolate look-

This number is bieng added to each lay and it will soon be a real concern. If you look off to the north you will see another busy place, the Decatur Castings Company where almost as many are working and where much progress is being made. These industries are just starting and the future for Decatur is bright indeed if we but take advantage of the opportunity. All we have to do is to be progressive and helpful and this we should gladly do for it niitans much to all of us, in the way of happiness and prosperity.

TENNESSEE GIVES WOMEN THE BALLOT (Continued from page one) esult 50 in favor of suffrage and 46 against. Walker is anti-ratificationistc. By changing his vote he gains two days during which a reconsideration may h: had. For a minute after the final vote was cast it looked as if it was a tie. It would have been, but Representatve ’ Burns immediately announced he changed his vote from “no” on “aye.”, After the vote the house adjourned. The session was one of the storm iest in the history of the legislature. Aside from this and the possibility of a change in the result through a reconsideration the only step remaining to make the 19th amendment operative is the promulgation of a .decree from the secretary of state. Suffragists estimated there are twenty-sev-en million women voters in this country. Washington, Aug. 18—(Special to Daily Democrat) —A little group of women suffrage leaders here today was waiting for the vote from Ten j nessee. If that vote is favorable it will j mean that nearly 27,000,000 American women will have the privilege of the full franchise in the presidential elections next November. If the vote goes against ratification of the suffrage amendment, a great part of these 27,000,000 women must wait four more years before they can cast their ballot .for a president of the United States,
