This community along with its other activities is preparing for Yeomen day rapidly just now. Music is being arranged tor, the finances are being raised, plans worked out, the program fixed and everybody will help to put over Decatur's biggest day for the children of the generations to Come. The great thing about this work is that the more of it you do, the more you want to do. Get in the game.

Mr. Vestal declared in his speech here that the republican party had never entered a campaign with more to be proud of. Os course that includes the strikes, the reduction in prices, the listless session of congress, the fee grabbing episode, Newberry, high taxes, firing of competent civil srevice employes to make room for ward heelers, the depression of the past two years, the increased number of boards and commissions, the reckless expenditure of | funds and all the other notable (?) * achievements. We would think they | would fear to face the public with that record.

Tlio miners are willing to declare a truce in the strike if President Harding will call a conference of operators, miners and officials and agree to a commissioner's inquiry of conditions and wages. Its about time to do something for even now it is admitted that the fuel must be allotted under the system used during the war to prevent suffering in the colder areas of the United States. No doubt there are several things that could be done. The complaint offered from the public is that nothing is done until it has to be. Wig

JULY 20 th Last Day to Pay Water Bills and save the 10% Bills Payable at I City Treasurer’s Office City Hall City of Decatur Water Dep’t.

1 gllng and wobbling seem to be the golden text of the administration elected on a platform which declared against any such program. The miners strike becomes acute as it was predicted it would several months ago. President Harding has issued a request to all operators to open their mines and to all miners to return to work to avoid a serious time next winter. Twenty-eight governors have been asked to add their pleas to this and Governor McCray has responded. The public hope the result will be a settlement of the trouble. The war has been over four years and there is absolutely no reason for the present conditions. Good horse sense is what is needed and it should be applied in double doses Just now. One sure thing, these strikes and disturbances cannot be charged to the previous administration. The present officers must carry their own load.

The ideal back of the proposed Yeomen home for children is perhaps the most uplifting cause engaged in for two thousand years. In a declaration by one of their leaders we find this, ‘‘We expect to teach the -world how to save children. We expect to aronse the public that no man or corporation will dare exploit children for profit. We believe the proper care of children for one generation would solve most of our perplexing problems. We hope to stir the pride and patriotism of American manhood ind womanhood that every child will have a fair chance in lite. For these things we hope, for these things we pray, for these things we will work to the full capacity of mind, soul and body.” Big and fine sentiment, which is approved by every worker for the cause here.

Os course you have a lot of things on your mind—Chautauqua, the fair, the Yeomen celebration, politics, busness and many other things—and they are all important but listen folks —you have another very importint thing to remember and that is the ■fforts being made by the Civic Secion of the Woman's Club to secure i rest room for the visiting women o this city. They have arranged or rooms in the library, to be propery kept in order and they wish to furlish these rooms conveniently and n proper manner which requires lome funds. Prefering not to im>ose on the public by soliciting donations they have arranged for a big public sale Saturday afternoon on he court house lawn and you are urged to patronize it as liberally as von can. Its an opportunity to buy what you want at your own price and help a good cause. Be a booster.

NUMBER OF ATHLETES IN THE SENATE (By Kenneth W. Clark) United I’reMM Stuff Correspondent Washington, July 19 — “Sportively speaking," the senate of these United States knows no political lines. While acrimonious charges, countercharges and threats fly furiously across the chamber during discussion of partisan measures, the senate “on the field’’ is all harmony and brotherly love. Take, for instance, “Joe” Robinson, ■ of Arkansas. On the floor “Joe” packs, as sport writers might say, “a mean verbal uppercut, and a slashing, oratorical right v ” On the golf course, he’s totally different. In fact, he keenly enjoys an

early morning game with “Charley" Townsend, Republican, Michigan, whom, at times, he opposes bitterly on the floor. Golf is the game which makes all senators equal—and what's more—kindly and generous to political foes. But only on the links! The senate, athletically, is “predominantly golf.” though baseball, tennis, fishing and swimming claim a number of senatorial adherents. Sport never interferes with the senate’s work. Every morning, while Capitol Hill is bathed in scarlet streamers of a rising sun, McKinley, Illinois; Jones, Washington; Capper, Kansas; Kellogg, Minnesota, and Hitchcock, Ne braska, are “.teeing off” at one of the numerous Washington links. McKinley and Jones invariably start at

six o'clock on the public course in Potomac Park. Others prefer the courses at the country clubs. They will tell you—these senators ' who play every morning—that they aren’t trying to make scores—"just playing a ‘dub’ game, to get in trim for senate sessions.” Nevertheless, a few shoot in the 80s, and in the recent play with newspapermen, the senatorial team won every match, the scribes not even finishing in the scoring columns. Then, there is Willis, of Ohio, the “Babe Ruth” of Capitol Hill. Any morning you can see him slamming out hits at the expense of some little page hurler, or covering the keystone sack with the expertness of an Eddie Collins, the pages tell you. Frelinghuysen also is a baseball addict, and has equipped senate pages with a complete baseball outfit. At seven o'clock, Senator Pepper, of Pennsylvania, is playing tennis on the White House courts. He is the senate devotee of the game. Senator Norris, Nebraska, is the aquatic star of the upper chamber. Practically every afternoon he practices in the small swimming pool in the senate office building. There is nothing which Senator McCumber, North Dakota, likes quite so well as a quiet week-end fishing trip, away from the worries of the tariff and the soldier bonus. Sometimes, on these trips, he is accompanied by Senator Newberry, Michigan, also an ardent angler. Motoring, horseback riding and walking claim a good' number. It used to be Senator Lodge’s boast that he never missed, rain or shine, walking from his home to the Capitol. Borah, Idaho, is an enthusiastic horseman. Whenever there is a dull afternoon in the senate, Harrison, Mississippi, and Spencer, Missouri, who staged many a merry world-battle when the Not Goldstein case was under discussion, slip away to the ball park to watch Walter Johnson and the Washington team. Harrison seldom missed a home game.

LARGE ARRAY OF AMUSEMENTS FOR THE FAIR (Continued from page one) devices furnish the novelty and sensations. These include the Giant seaplane; The whip, Giant Ferris Wheel, The Jumping horse Carousel, the Venetian Kings and the smallest merry-go-round ever constructed and operated in the world, built especially for the kiddies, a most novel attraction in itself. The concert band carried by the organization under the direction of Professor John Fingerfoot is one of the best array of musical talent ever in this city and presented by any traveling organization of this nature, offering varied programs which please those who spend the early evening listening to the program. In summing the organization as a whole can but hardly find the slightest fault or cause for voicing his sentiments only in the highest tone of praises an from a personal visit with the executives and staff the same slogan seems to be prevalent “honesty, quality and courtesy.”

DECLARES THAT AMERICAN PROHIBITION IS BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY IN EUROPE Chicago, July 19. —(Special to Daily Democrat)—“Central Europe is going dry!” “American prohibition is being taken seriously in Germany, Austria and Czecho-Slotakia and will carry in these countries in the near future.” E. L. C. Nohenthal, international secretary for Europe of the World Foundation for prohibition, declared here. He has just returned to this country after a five months tour of investigation to promote the movement in Europe. “The most absorbing question before people in Central Europe today aside from the issue involved in war and financial settlement is prohibition.’ Mr. Hohenthal says “the young people in Europe” are bent on enforcing prohibition.
