Entered at the postoffice at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. Waahtegton’a birthday was brated rather quietly today throughout the country, but nevertheless every American citizen gives to the beloved father of his country due credit and honor for all his achieve-. meats. Congress will conclude its session within a week and such a record. Ati a time when the country needs action, in the way of legislation that will help in getting over the great war, 1 they have done nothing but play politics, spend money and criticize. How long, oh how long, must the country stand this proceedure? Prosecutor Haller of Huntington county has called a special session of the grand jury to indict those who violated the "blue laws" of Huntington. That’s the way to spend your money. Os course it will result as usual, a long trail, a disagreement and a final compromise but in the meantime several aspiring politicians will have the opportunity to make speeches and thus prepare their next campaign dope. Next Saturday is Dollar Day in Decatur. At that time your dollar will buy more here than for many a month and more than it will any where else. It will pay you to watch for the announcements and select your bargains. If this event is a success and we are sure it will be, there will be more and similar bargain days offered by the local merchants. Get your dollars ready arid plffii to take advantage of the many offers which will be '-niaile. Watch the Thursday and Friday issues of the Daily Democrat.

“Courtesy week” Is being observed! jin many cities and towns, the idea i being to encourage i>eople in good, manners and spirit. Some I persons deride it us an effort to teach ‘ I parlor tricks to plain but j courtesy is more than that. Heal | courtesy does not consist of making 1 polite speeches, «s going out of your. ! way to perform acts of kindness and j I service. Those who have that spirit' ■ find it an asset in business. A con I icern whose employes have acquired; ■ that conception of dealing with the l I public, is one that people like to have relations with. —VanWert Times. Mr. Wright's explanation of his actions as head of the highway commission sound rather flimsy. His depart--1 ment has spent money lavishly and lie admits that his bank has profited from the deposits of the commission. He admits having made mistakes which is something but the trouble is he didn't admit it until the state i hoard of accounts charged it and . then it required some efforts to bring 1 out the report. It's an expensive joke ' for the taxpayers of Indiana and for the good of the future generations, , some thing definite as to the future operations of this department ought speedily be decided. The selection of Judge Hughes to be secretary of state under Mr. Harding, will meet the general approval of the great majority of people, no doubt, and he will have the opportunity to do a great service for his people. Just what his plans are and how he is pleasing to both the Johnson and anti-John son crowds has not yet been given to the public. Judge Hughes is a great lawyer and a leading citizen and is no doubt sacrificing financially to serve the nation. His attitude in the great foreign questions which will immediately come before him will be eagerly awaited. As to the selection of ifr. Laugherty as attorney general the people will probably not so readily agree. Mr. Daugherty is a politician, a wire puller and far from being the best at- “■ torney possible for t"he high position he will fill. Mr. Harding, no doubt, owes his nomination to him. however, and is thus paying the debt. Amber injures no other good pigment with which it may be mixed.

Flavor! No cigarette has, the same delicious flavor as Lucky Strike. Bcoaua*— Its toasted LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTE TALK ON NARCOTICS Edward Faxon Osborne, said to be j one of the besbinformed men on' narcotics in the country, gave an interesting talk to the high school students and the students at the central building Monday. The talk at the high school lasted an hour and he told of the dangers which might arise in the use of tobacco, caffeine, coca coin, etc., and some of the statements were astonishing. Mr. Osborne said enough nicotine could be j secured in scraping the bowl of an ( old corn-cob pipe to kill a cat in seven minutes if it were placed on the cats' tongue, and told the students ' if they did not believe it to try the , experiment. He also said there was j enough nicotine in one cigar to kill I a man if it were permitted to remain in system at one time. His talk was , full of illustrations similar to the ones mentioned, and excessive coffeedrinking came in for a share of crit- ; iticism. Mr. Osborne came here from Kalamazoo Sunday, and arranged the talk to' the high school through Superintendent Worthman. He is an interesting speaker, and it is believed his stop in Decatur was productive of some good among the students. FOR NEAR EAST RELIEF The mail of the Rev. A. H. Saunders this morning contained an interesting bit of news. A communication from Mr. Lehman, at Berne brought the information that the Evangelical church at Linn Grove bad contributed the sum of S6O te the Near East Relief rund, and the collection taken Sunday by the Mennonite con gregation totaled $1,330. and this fund was sent direct to the Mennonite church relief committee.

Fort Wayne, on February 2nd, and was operated upon for sinusitis on February sth. He also is making a satisfaetory recovery. Mr. Warren Sergeant had an operation at Hartford City a couple of weeks ago, but is about again. We are glad that he will probably be well enough now to remain in this climate. Mr. C. J. Lutz went to the Lutheran hospital, Fort Wayne, some weeks ago, for a painful operation, and is able to be about, yet is not his old self again. Mrs. 'C. J.
