Entered at the posiofflee at Decatur. Indiana, as secoml-class matter. The federal labor board yesterday cut the overtime pay of shop craft workers. Sure, that's the plan—cut wages but hold up the rates. Make the people work for less and pay more. No wonder times are hard. The republican tax bill now floundering its way through congress, had to swallow more than fifty amendments yesterday and the end is not yet. When they get it all worked out they will probably find that It does not raise the retfuired funds and t then have to start all over. Then, look out. 6 Members of the supreme council in session in Paris do not pay much attention to Col. Harvey who is rep- » resentlug the United States, in fact »• * they don't even await his coming to open the meetings. He is a nonlonity there as he is here, and the nation will not get far with the colonel f, look after their interests abroad. * No sir, there is no way to make you vote at the coming special elect fc tion and you have a right to stick at * home and give It no attention, but Z you will have to submit to the things imposed by the election and if you are wise to your own inter--1 ests you will not only vote but see ~ that others do. You can read the proposed amendments and get any information you want, isn't it worth that much effort? There seems to be a rivalry on over the state to see which county can produce the youngest boy who has taken out a hunting license] Bartholomew has the record so far with a license out to a kid eleven years old. Others report boys twelvq and thirteen. It all don't sound very good to us. A gun in the hands of a youngster is always a dangerous thing and most of the accidents reported are because of boys who do not seem to realize the serious fact that when the gun is fired, some one is liable to get hurt. While the law permits, no doubt the issuance of a license to any one, there being no age limit, it does Eeem that the clerk ought to be a little careful about it, It's a poor thing to excel in. We have heard a number of leading citizens from various parts of thq county say they believe the vote on the proposed amendments, September Gth, will be very light as but little interest is being manifested. If you are not interested in this election we don't know what you would do it. It. is proposed that you vote on these vital amendments aud those who are urging the adoption of them, will of course be out to vote. If you don't then you silently agree with them. It is proposed to give, the state tax board even greater powgr, than they have now, to create a state income tax, to do away with the county surveyor’s office, to make the state superintendent appointive, to revolutionize government in Indiana aud to further centralize power. If you sit idly by and say you are not interested, you admit you do not care about your own affairs. It's your government, it's your business, it's your money which , will have ,to pay the taxes. Wake' up, help to create inter est In your precinct. Tbis is not a partisan election and there will be no organization unles you make It. You may come to the 7th of Septem bur to find that you have permitted! others to say they have the power to b‘vv any old tax on you they may : wish. * * t- f i

PARIS GAY AGAIN . Hut It Is Not tht* Paris of Before the War—Crowds Are Not the Aristocratic OF FEW YEARS AGO I City Is Filled With Russian! j Dancers, Actors, Singers, ' Noblemen and Radicals. By Clarence Axman. II nltr<l l-r-'HM Service). Paris, (By Mali).—"Paris is gay 1 again; yes, monsieur, but it is not the Putin of befo e the war,” >'• V-l the wife ' rs the ll mlcvard tier. .Ullens b.»nk?r. "The crowds flocking to the modistes and jewelry shops of the Hue de la Palx are not the aristocratic set seen there a few years ago. bat are the bourgeois of Lyon, Marseilles and other places in the provinces, now rich who made tremendous fortunes in the war." And yet to the visiting American, Paris is the same old playground of the world that it was in the old days Nothin:' is permitted officially lo jar| one seeing Paris on parade. Even the - beggar Is barred from the boulevards. Out on the Bois in the afternoon the tea places are crowded as never before. American tunes and American bands, and wiggling, twisting and turning that must have come via the Argentine. A couple reaches a spot on the floor and five minutes later they have not progressed more than I ten feet. The women are wonderfully! dressed, with the smartest of hats, bracelets about their ankles, and j dresses which would make Ziegfeld j weep with envy. Many of the men dancing are gigelots —professional tango lizards —with spats, sharply-creased trousers, colored waistcoats and Picadilly morning coats. They are the professional hang-1 ers-on. A gigeiot approaches the wife of the American when she skips a.! dance and asks if he can have the j next. At its finish he expects a few francs. A few months ago a story was printed in American papers that a French government official had decreed that women in French revues should wear more clothes. Probably he is on a vacation because in two revues the entire apparel of the chorus could be placed in a tiny pocketbook. This sort of thing quickly palls on the Amercian. In the case of revues, it it, see one, see all. Paris is filled with Russian actors, j Russian dancers. Russian singers. | Russian noblemen and Russian radicals." The Russian vaudeville show at the Femina Theatre is the best on the continent, and has taken Paris by | storm, the great hit being the march j of the "Wooden Soldiers." It is coming to Broadway next season. ■ >— THEY CALLED HIM "DUCKY” Chicago, Aug. 19-—(Special to Daily | Democrat*. —Willie Dvkins, 11, who j nature endowed with twelve toes,! couldn’t stand the gaff from the other j kids. He was operated on today and j the two extra toes removed. "The kids used to call me ‘ducky’ when I went swimming, and when I wore shoes, they called me ‘big feet" Willie told Dr. Karl Meyer. "Those toes took up a lot of room.” Willie asked the doctor to preserve the toes in a jar of alcohol so he would have something to show the kids that the other boys didn't have. MAY FAMILY REUNION. The third annual reunion of the May family was successfully held at the Bellraont Park. August 18th. At j the noon hour a big basket dinner ( was served with the well filled baskets a which were carefully prepared for r the occasion. Those present numbered about 160.

Aug. 20.—(Special to Daily Democrat).—Whether the nation will be flooded with beer soon depended today on Andrew Volstead, author of the prohibition law. Here is the situation today. Volstead opposes the Stanley amend ment to the anti-medicinal beer bill which forbids dry agents from hunting liquor unless armed with search warrants. This amendment would hamper prohibition enforcement. Unless Volstead yields on this point j his opposition will hold up the whole j anti-medicinal beer bill until it is j killed by the congressional adjourn- i ment next Thursday. In that case the internal revenue! bureau will proceed to issue its regu- j lations governing sale of beer for medicinal purposes. Unless the beer bill goes through j | before next Wednesday w hen con-1 adjourns, the breweries probably will soon he working overtime, produucing beer “for the sick." BIG STORM LAST NIGHT Laporte, Ind., Aug. 20.—(Special to Daily Democrat). —The heavy storm of last night in Laporte county caused the death today of a two and a half year old boy. Everett Sums, sou of Frank Sums, a farmer, was instantly killed when a tree that had been broken by the storm was being hauled away by the farmer, the timber hitting the hoy who stood a few feet away. In Michigan City lightning hit the house of a deputy warden at the state pententiary. The damage was estimated at SSOO. A Chautauqua tent was blown away’ and the street car service crippled. TRAIN HITS AUTO. Porter, Ind., Aug. 20.—(Special to Daily Democrat). —One woman was probably fatally injured here today when the automobile in which she was riding with her husband and two children was struck by a Michigan Central train. • The husband and two children jumped in time to escape being hit.
