Entered at tho postoffico at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. From the number ot men seen on the court house lawn who are out of work, a person gets another example ,-ot what these normalcy times are ■ lik ' \ Ipn't it funny that when President Harding was making his campaign for election that he didn't tell the exsoldiers that he was so strongly against the plan of paying them a bonus, — The wages of the employes of the American Express company are to be reduced Auguet Ist, but nothing has been said when the Express company will reduce its rates. Cases of this kind are becoming quite familiar during the past few months. The state tax board has sent out [ the word that the valuations of personal pniperty will be lower next ( year, but that the state tax rate will be higher. Well that's mighty en- ( couraging to the man who is out of a job. to the farmer and to the merch- ( ant who is taking a loss on the things , he sells. t Little wondvr ' nt Great Britain wants to settle the Irish question and get on friendly terms with the 1 people of that island for King George 1

- 41 ' I Friction-tile; Pickpocket of Industry j IF the loss to industry through unnecessary friction could be entirely ‘ eliminated, it would mean a sav- !i ing of sufficient money to pay off the combined state debt of Illinois, Indiana, North Dakota, South j Dakota, lowa, Missouri and Kansas i in a single year. -—{kiddy's Manual Jj It would represent twice the value p of all the vessels produced in the » United States in a normal year, and j would be greater in value than the J annual rye, barley, or rice crop. —(Statistical Abstract of U. S.) The value of power lost to industry through friction has been estimated to reach the staggering total of $185,000,000 annually. —(lndustrial Oil Engineering) Realizing that friction is an undesirable partner of industry, and feeling its obligation as the leader among manufacturers of lubricants, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has for years maintained a staff of lubricating engineers and lubricating chemists, whose business it has been to consult with industrial engineers to solve for them their individual lubricating problems as they are presented. The services of these men are given without charge, a n d the saving effected has been great. When it is realized that every machine presents a friction problem, and that every industry, from cotton goods to corn flakes is dependent on proper lubrication for turning out its product efficiently, one function of / I the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) becomes more apparent.

may not want to take his four thousand soldiers and one thousand constables as a body guard the next time he appears before the Ulster parliament at Belfast. Although the reservoir at the waterworks plant has a good supply of water and the pumps are working twenty-four hours a day, you are urged to conserve as much as possible. Do not waste water for the consumption these hot days Is abnormally heavy and it’s some job to try to keep the reservoir full. Property owners along South Mercer avenue are complaining of a terrible stench in that part of the city

which they say is nauseating and almost unbearable. The odor does not come from the Packing plant they say and efforts should be made to learn the cause and correct it. The races at the Northern Indiana fair next month will be the best held « anywhere. The purses are sufficiently large to attract the best horses in the country to the Bellmont race course and added to this there will be the big fireworks display and the many other free attractions given for your benefit. You’ll want to be there. We have been told that the increase in the price of demons is due to the tariff placed on this fruit. The Fordney tariff bill which is now in effect is cited as the cause for boosting the price from twelve cents a dozen to forty-eight and sixty cents a dozen within the last thirty days and if that is the case, the sweltering mass of humanity who crave for a glass of lemonade to cool a parched throat cannot see the advantage of a protective tariff. The advance sale of the Chautauqua tickets is splendid and with few exceptions nearly every person who, subscribed for one or more tickets I took his alloted number, with the result that the success of Decatur’s Chautauqua is practically assured. If you haven’t secured your season ticket, better get in touch with some one who has a few and be among the happy crowd who will attend the big five day entertainment. The citizens of Berne are to have a swimming hole. The Biberstine stone quarry west of that place is being cleared of rubbish, tin cans and bottles, and a few bathing houses have been erected, and orders have been given that no one will be allowed to enter the water without a bathing suit. Last evening over one hundred boys from Berne and the surrounding community enjoyed a cool swim and so far no accidents have been reported. The idea is a good one and if the quarry does not claim a victim or two this summer, the ol’ swimmin’ hole will no doubt prove a popular place. It seems that the demand everywhere is for a modern, regulated swimming pool. The sympathy of the people of this community is extended to Mr. and Mrs. John H. Parr of near Monroe, the proud, but sorrowful parents of hero, Vernon C. Parr, who gave his life for his country and whose body will be brought ; home next week, Vernon Parr enlisted 1 in the . April : 27th, 11117. and was injured in Ui now ■ historic 1 battle *of i'thiji Ar, gonne on’ September • 27th, 1918, and died the day,, after, giving his life forthe‘ great- cause' for ?whicli\ Amerjea fought. ‘ With . the. returning (of ’ his(body the . hearts ‘of par-,

bright spot, in that their son died a most noble death. The county will join in honoring her fallen hero and in extending their sympathy to the parents and family. The union church services will not be held Sunday evening in order to give everybody an opportunity to attend the chautauqua. The big five day program opens in the afternoon and the program is especially fitted for the Sabbath. Dr. W. Quay Bussell will give a popular lecture on “The University of Adversity”, the Chicago Concert Company will play the very best in musical and sacred concerts and in the evening Mrs. Peter Oleson, one of the most prominent women speakers in the country will talk on ‘The New Social Consciousness.” The ministers of the different churches are to be commended for their splendid support in helping to make the Chautauqua a success and we are sure that the program will please you and be of benefit to you. _« Adam Bentz of Union township was a business caller in Decatur today.

The home looked beautiful with baskets of roses and garden flowers. At six o'clock the guests entered the dining room where covers were laid tor the twelve girls. Miss I'Tlsinger's chair was tied with a white tulle bow and a corsage bouquet pinned to this. In the center of the table was a basket of Kilarney roses, around which were crystal can-dle-stlckes with pink lighted candles. Above the chandelier were ropes of smilax. After the dinner a poem was given each girl which read. •‘A reward in this contest there will be | To the one who quotes most cleverly, ( In a two line verse, Just how you decide. , ~ •Pete’ asked Mary to lie his bride. Os course we know opinions vary. | But below is our guess about Pete . and Mary. Mary, dear Mary, don't be so contrary. And tell me real quick, how soon will j wo marry?” Some of the girls proved very good j poetesses. The prize, a beautiful set, old gold salt and pepper shakers, were given the bride-elect for she knew better just how to write this poem. The out-of-town guests were Mrs. Robert Peterson of Indianapolis and Mrs. Edward Wilson of Fort Wayne. Miss Frisinger will be married to Mr. Dwight Peterson on Tuesday, July 19, at the Frisinger home in this city. +
