Come on Mr. Weather Man we can Mund another shower today. Win I •'Should Him actresses marry?" is the title of a feature article in a movie magazine. We say yes—but not so frequently. Tile Chautauqua tent is being' erected and practically everything Is ready for the opening of the big live day program Sunday afternoon. Philadelphia schoolboys are being taught to mend their own clothes. Still, well bet that when the little devils grow up they'll think up some ■ other excuse for getting married. The main subject of conversation i changed yesterday afternoon from "ain't it hot” to •‘my wasn’t that a dandy shower” and no one will dis- : pute tile assertion. Ex-senator Albert J. Beveridge is out making speeches against the ad- ' ministration c anceling the allied debt 1 and is receiving a warm reception 1 wherever he speaks. Looks like Senator Harry New is going to have 1 a real race for the nomination next year. ~ - i “You can if you will reads a sign l in the class rnni: wlu-ri t;,. students ; of the Reppert Auctioneering school are being schooled in the auctioneering game.

Henry Ford now wants to deal with the government and buy the government nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals. Alabama, he offering five mil lions for the land and agrees to pay an annual rental of a million and a half for tho use of the dams ami

the equipment on the place. It beats all how this scion of industry can do things and still combat those men who it was charged tried to ruin him. The first conference between Lloyd George and Eamon Do Valera on the settlement of the Irish question endled witli botli factions apparently well pleased. As the sessions between the British premier and the Irish leader continue the people of Ireland are praying for a speedy settlement of the question and it is hoped by every nation in the world that the matter can be settled satisfactorily at this time. The business men are urged to decorate their buildings during fair week. A representative of the Home Decorating company will be here next week to start on the job of “dressing up” the fair gorunds and the officials of the fair association will appreciate it if the local merchants have their places of business decorated. It ads to the appearance of tile city and shows our visitors that we are up-to-date and have something going on. They’re talking again of canceling the war debt owed by the allies to this country and the president has given Secretary of the. Treasury Mellon absolute control and authority in dealing with the matter. To present England and France and Italy with eleven billion dollars would certainly make those countries feel jubiliant. But if their war debts can be paid that easily what

Costello of this city us u midship , man In the Annapolis Naval Academy. it shows thut the Decatur young mon want an education, know the value of one und will go out of the way to obtain it. Two other Decatur boys, Herman Myers and Charles Keller, who with Mr. Costel-

lo are graduates of the Decatur High school have also received appointi inents to the government's training I schools und we feel that the congressmen who recommended them i made the best selections possible. It should be gratifying to their parents and to the community that they have such young men who want to continue to get an education and we predict that they will make good. i ' i A multimillionaire died in Indian- . ipolis a few weeks ago and left ( about ten million dollars. He hoard- i -d it and gold became his god. When 1 he died he proved his selfishness by ’ framing his will so that his family , would not secure his estate for twen- i ty years and that no inheritance tax * would be paid on it for years. He ( 1 did not leave a cent for charity, but when life passed out he had to let go # of his hold on his fortune. Wouldn’t v it have been better if he had left a c few millions for a good cause, for a 1 v memorial of some kind or divided it j. among the poor. We believe that | nothing is so sweet as giving and t that real happiness can be obtained * in trying to help the other fellow. Dr. Hill of Indianapolis, one of the t nstructors at the Reppert Auctioneer- r ing school, made a wonderful talk to b r the members of the Rotary club last , evening. Dr. Hill said that it should j be every man’s ambition to get some- r thing and to accumulate enough tin- f ancially to live respectable and to be able to do something for a less ' t fortunate brother, but that no one should live merely for the sake of t getting, for once you secured it, the I object did not hold its value. He r g said we should live to be happy and a to get happiness out of life and cited a stfiry which convinced his audience € that it was better to live in a little i < cottage in happiness than in a big | stone mansion where the love of ( children and home was not known. His thoughts were splendid and his i talk proved that he was truly a great 1 man with a good purpose in life. We ! like Dr. Hill. ICE CREAM SOCIAL The Catholic Ladies of Columbia , will give an ice cream social Friday , evening on Liberty Way. Home-made , cake and candy will also be served. The patronage of the public is solicited. 162-t5 Col. Iglehart Conducts a Sale I' (Continued from Page One) explained. We think of it in a minor ■way. What is an animal, that is produced by careful selection of characteristics that we would want to become inherent in that particular animal. What a pure-bred animal is. It is an improved machine for a particular purpose. You go on to the farm, you look at the fences, buildings, fields and gardens and you soon realize it is the work of a man with a mind who had large plans of this kind and has developed them. You can learn more of his character from this than from any other standpoint. Just as he has improved his farm so does he improve his livestock; they arc a machine, they increase the crops that he has produced. Just as our forefathers worked the soil, just as the men worked and tilled the ground but had to trust to God for the produce that would enable us and permit a Iseed to start so that it could eventually be turned into a finished product so should we have given the same careful attention to the production of animals which is the greatest machine, wo have on farm. .He does noi go a day without the i.usc of’llamachinery we have on the farm. He does not go a day without the use iof the machinery for the production of the crops that he> wants and he needs these animals to protect and increase the value of every' commodity. We are going to buy a pure-bred animal this afternoon, we are bringing in may chinery that has been produced from ■’l *

• u particular commodity, just us if I , sell you a harvester, seeder or planter for corn we are making you more productive and giving you every opportunity to produce that particular crop, it Is only to make you 11 breeder of good livestock and not to cultivate you from the rank of the breeder that I undertake to argue the point jof production, what is a better demonstration to you and proves to you more clearly than the animals we put in the auction. We are- now in the auction of H. B. Griffith of Bowen. Illinois. When yen undertake an auction of this kind I want to Impress on you three strong points, you want to put forth your strongest efforts, 1 want you to remember first: you must take your stand for pure-bred livestock und you ' must talk the inherent conditions that exist ami bring it up to the entire an- , dience, remember they are men who « understand the business and you have ( to give them common sense. We are in Mr. Griffith's sale; I have known that man for a long time, 1 have ‘ known him from the time he was a plain farmer like yourselves and many , ethers, and no man will, call mo in question, there are many other farmers who own greater sections of land in many states in the Union, but veryfew men have done more toward the producing and development of purebred livestock than the man in ’the a great state of Illinois, and I say to f you the man who gives his time and t attention to that is deserving of the j' very best support and assistance his g state and community can give. Mr. s Griffith started in a very modest way. J his first animals were selected from a n herd known to me for a long time r and of the very best breeding, until we find him crowned with the royal champion ribbon in the great state of Illinois, that of champion boar inventor. A man in plain circumstances, but with very good business methods he succeeded in reaching what is the top of his ladder in his chosen pro session. This boar was not an accident, —the great boar Inventor war NOT an accident. No animal is a perfect product that was an accident unless the accident had carried the particular characteristics that should be inherent in the animal that would make it the kind of animal bred for the purpose fcr which you want it and be an accident, but accidents do not repeat themselves. (Here he read from the book). When I have reached the very acme in the pedigree, when I have touched the boars that have reached the highest recognition, the very maximum that you can reach, the boar that I have quoted to you "Inventor” you do not need to go any farther. 1 want every one of you to take part in this auction. You may catalog, if you will, every industry in America, no man has even been able to produce a thing that d'd not have its “ups” and "downs.” The man who sells his labor to dig the ditch and hew the stone and at a lime when labor was at its best, also had his "ups" and “downs” but I lay my reputation for honesty. I lay my reputation for stability on this one, for there is no produce for human consumption than the produce of meat. While it shows that you are producing, you are not robbing your soil, you are building a better state, a better living condition. You have no right to rob the soil, it is your duty to make your fields more productive, and the production of livestock is the one method we have been able to offer. I am working in a great state, I am working for a man who has made a success in his chosen profession. I am also a producer of that kind of stock. If you were to hire out to another man, you would say, "1 would like to work or you,” he would say to you, "Do you know how to harness a horse, do you know anything I about what you are undertaking to ' do. A man stands before you as a producer but I selected a boar that was capable of being fitted into the grand champion of the state of Illinois. To go further, what is the condition of the hog business today. Last year as I talked to some of my friends, urged them to buy sows. I said it gives you the only product that you have in the coming months and >n tho coming years to market one bushel of the corn you have produced on the farm and to a profitable advantage. I urged them at the same time that it was he only avenue with ' which to do it, and that the production cf pork today is about the most beneficial thing on the farm. We must , have our beef cattle and our dairy cattle, but the production of pork is bringing a better profit than anything else we can market today. We have ' uoarT\ matad l ° thiS cha “hion fth n r abßolute ly a founda- . tion from which we cannot be swept s bat 'tend firm and face the conditions • <«, they, aj-e. . B e or one man.
