Taxes and the temperature are both as high as we care to see them gols Mrs. Kaber was expecting to go free she should have murdered her wealthy husband in Chicago and living up to precedents the Jury would probably have found her "not guilty." Postmaster General Will Hays proposes to boost the price of the ten cent special delivery stamp to twen-ty-five cents. Thought we were going to get back to normalcy? If, as Arthur Brisbane says, it would take one person working twen-ty-four hours a day for thirty years to count a billion dollars, who in the thunder would want that much money?

The Levianthian, former German passenger ship, interned in this country during the war, has been in dock for c'.’sr two years and it is stated that its ipkeep is costing the government 145,000 a month. The boat is not being used and the sale of it we believe would be in keeping with the so called economy program of the new shipping board administration. Lee Vance, chairman of the Chautauqua association and his board of directors, are to be congratulated for the splendid program they secured for Decatur. Os course it took work and time to care for the details connected with the job. but they’ll feel well repaid if the public shows its appreciation by attending the afternoon and evening programs.

The United States government will pay England thirty-two million dollart for the use ot the boats that were used to transport the American soldiers across the seas during the war. In the meantime Great Britain has suid nothing about the paying of her share of the eleven billion dollars und the interest it owes to the United’States. John Bull's diplomats sure have away of doing things. This is Chautauqua week and many people will be up town late in the evenings. Local merchants should take advantage of the opportunity to light up their display windows and thus give those who pass by their stores the chance to see what they have for sale. Superintendent Mylott of the Electric light plant has as sured us that the streets will be lighted and there is no reason why Second street should not look like a mid-way. at least during the week. It will cost you but a few cents per day to leave the lights burn a few hours in the evening.

Wherever and whenever any group of business men engages in a discus sion of business conditions, the discussion invariably comes around to a consideration of railroad freight rates and the outlook for a reduction in rates. There is a considerable proportion of the business men of the country who believe that lower freight rates are essential to a real improvement in business, although this idea is actively disputed by others. There appear to be few, however, who dissent from the general proposition that there must eventually be a reduction in freight rates from their present level, although opinions differ as to when it will be possible to make such reductions.

The first day of Decatur's Chautauqua was a marked success. Even though the thermometer registered near the hundred mark Sunday afternoon the tent was filled, proof that the public likes to be entertained and appreciates good, clean talent. The music by the Chicago Concert company was excellent and the talks made by Dr. Roselle and Mrs. Peter Oleson were wonderful. They gave you real thoughts and both stood for the advancement of mankind and preached the doctrine of brotherly love, to do something for the other person. Another glance at the program convinces us that the week promises to be a real happy one and one which will be thoroughly enjoy-

ed by all. No more convincing illustration of the efficiency of- newspaper advertising has been presented than the experience of the Literary Digest. Five years ago when the magazine had 350,000, circulation the directors decided that a larger circulation was desirable and that the only way to get ft was through advertising. For four years 31.000,000 w.uj invested annually in 400 leading newspapers in the United States with the result that today the magazine has a circulation of 1,300,000, and its income has been increased more than 360 per cent. Would it have been possible for the Literary Digest to secure such returns from any other medium? We believe not. Newspaper advertising presents its message when people are in a receptive mood. Appearing as it does in a medium that is welcomed and read in practically every household it is bound to attract the attention of masses of people, and if the article advertised possesses real merit, large sales are sure to follow.

FOR THE FARMERS Items of Interest to thfl Farmers of Adams County. Poultry Culling Campaign in Adams County. Following closely on the heels of the recent campaign against the chinch bug which has been doing so much damage to Adams county crops cotnes the announcement from the county agent to the effect that in the near future another campaign is going to be waged against an entirely different pest. Steps are going to be taken to eradicate a certain class ol loafers founji on practically every farm in the county. The county agent is hoping for the assistance of the farmers and their wives in the campaign and if all cooperate, much good is to be done. in every flock of farm poultry are to be found a number of "loafers or in other wordrf? "long distance layers.” Those are the hens that have quit laying for the remainder of the summer, are putting on a new coat of feathers and do not intend to start laying again until late winter are to be the object of the attack. These loafers usually eat as much as the layers and so keeping them during the winter is simply a case of putting up with "star boarders.” There are certain tests which can he used to pick out the layers from the non-layers. These tests can best be observed from the middle of August to the first of September and so that is the time when the campaign is going to be carried out. Several demonstrations have been arranged in different parts o? the country .and it is the purpose to have one or two demonstrations in every township. Pure-breds of 100 to 150 hens are preferred to those extremely small or large. Anyone interested in this work or knowing of flocks corresponding fairly closely with the description given should get into touch with the countyagent during the next few'Bays, as the schedule of demonstrations will be completed during next week. The demonstrations will be begun during ths week following the fair and it is planned to have one or two demonstrations. every day following until every township has had one or two opportunities to see the work done.

MANY TEACHERS Returning to Profession Since Salary Has Been Increased by Legislature SAYSSUPERINTENDENT Os Public Instruction — Closing of Factories Also Given as a Reason Indianapolis, July 18. — There will be an abundance of elementary school teachers in Indiana for the next school term, according to Ben Burris, newly appointed superintendent of public instruction. Burris was appointed to succeed L. N. Hines who becomes president of the Indiana state Normal school at Terre Haute, October 1. There will be enough high school teachers to fill any vacancies which may occur Burris said. Last year the state board was short many teachers when the school term opened. This condition was brought about because factories were paying help more than the teachers could earn at school. Because the factories are partially closed this ye%r the teachers are swarming into the state board for applications to teach. The elementary school teachers salaries were slightly increased by the legislature. The legislature provided that the minimum salary of grade school teachers should be SBOO.

. ?soo. S According to Burris some of the I teachers were taken to other states I which paid higher salaries. Many of I those who left Indiana to teach in other states are coming back, he said.

Geneva, Ind., July 17—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The Geneva Boosters ball team met and defeated the Muncie Colored Giant team by a score of 3 to 2, on the local diamond this afternoon.
