Sawyer ot Marion, 0.. to Washington and made him brigadier general “at sight,” says the Memphis Commercial Appeal: Sawyer’s fitness to be brigadier general is in the fact that he was Harding's doctor in Marion. Whether he is a homeopath, osteopath, allopath or just a plain “country path” we do not know, but whatever sort of a path he is at the age of 62 years he is a brigadier general. When he walks the streets with pill boxes in his belt and a hypodermic syringe in his hind pocket every colonel, lieutenant coloner, major, captain, lieutenant, sergeant, corporal and buck who went through <l|e fires of hell in the Argonne'and at St. Mihiel, who fought “flu,” German gas, lice, restaurant profiteers, red wine sellers, not to speak of the cold rain, must bring their hands to their foreheads and salute Dr. General Sawyer as a superior officer. " It is a very silly thing this practice of making the medical man, whose business it is to save life, a potential killer of men. People may say that Wilson did the same thing when he promoted Grayson to a rear admiral. At least Grayson was in the navy. lie was a lieutenant commander in the medical department. In the process of years he would have gone higher in rank. He had seen service at sea and in the naval hospitals. We do strange things in thi^'country—foolish things, unjust things, occasionally, some very grotesque things. Bullard and Liggett commanded two great American armies. Each one had under him probably 500,000 men. They fought in the Argonne and St. Mihiel. It was suggested that these two men be made lieutenant generals. Gophertown Brutuses and penny-royal Cincinnati of the Senate rejected these nominations because forsooth to confirm such appointments would be to “pander to that spirit of military imperialism which destroy-

You who have been wailing for lower’ prices before you laid that floor, renewed those old walls and ceilings or built the garage—this message is directed to you. 1)0 YOU KNOW THAT LUMBER PRICES ARE DOWN 10 PER CENT OR MORE? Do you know that you can repair or remodel cheaper than at any time in the past five years? Do you know that every day you wait not only inconveniences you but costs you real money?

Send a check to the United Charity board today. They need a hundred dollars to pay their bills and to keep going for another month or two. This money is used without one cent of overhead to relieve suffering and to bring a few bright spots in the lives of those who appreciate it more because they have so few. It should bo a pleasure to do this and we know the men who give their time to the work, deeply appreciate it. They have made a real effort to do their duty with the least annoyance and financial assistance from the public and they deserve it when they ask for it. Decatur is the best town in this part of the country right now and is ( going to get better. Our business , men and our manufacturers are more optimistic than the average and they i will do everything possible to make 1 conditions in this community better. 1 i The Industrial Association wants to help do that and if every booster will , join and help, that concentrated es- ■. fort is sure to go a long ways. It will I help every one and you should give 1 i your co-operation. < Roy C.

ADVISCRY COMMITTEE Indianapolis, April 1. —With the promulgation of the laws passed by the 1921 general assembly, Indiana will have a juvenile advisory commission .and a state probation officer, who will act in conjunction with the board. This was provided for in a law passed by the legislature. Under the provisions of the law. the commission would function in the way the state child welfare commission has functioned and the probation officer will be its field agent. The officer would travel over the state and would cooperate with local and county probation officers, whose appointment will have to be confirmed by the advisory commission. The state officer will be vested with powers similar to these of county and city probation officers, who will work under the state officers direction. Local officers will be required to report quarterly to the state office. Failure to do so will subject them to a fine of not less than SIO.OO and not more than S2OO. No one except a parent rearing their own child is eligible to either the county cr state job. The commission members will serve without compensation. The state officer, however, will be paid from an appropriation of $8,500 provided in the law. s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s s—s—s_WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s * TODAY’S BEAUTY TALK I ♦ ♦ Beautiful hair, thick and lustrious. is easy to have if you use Parisian Sage.
