It’s fine for the democrats to talk about winning the election in November but it should be suggested that U will take organization and a presenta tlon of the facts to the people. This part of the program should not be off until the last week either. Right now is the time to start the ball rolling am it should be touched off in every county in the district. The community should not over look the fact that they owe a vote ol sincerest thanks to the men who did the canvassing for funds for the big day. It’s a harder job than you thinl it is unless you have tried it but the.' did it well and had a nice big sniik on their faces when they finished That takes real fellows. We’ve gol ’em here. It will certainly be interesting t< hear what the republican campaigi orators have to say in explanation o present conditions when they get t< going, along about the middle of Sep tember. Mr. Vestal said the othe: ight he was pround of the record mad< by congress. So far he’s the onlj man in the district who has had tha' much nerve. The railway strike is bocomuHt sei ious and the nation is really facin a crisis, grave and dangerous. Roll ing stock is out of commission am tho country is becoming stagnated. 1 may not be the thing to talk about but after all we seem to be reachii; the point where we will have to loo' the trouble squarely in the face am quit playing politics or anything els< but the welfare of the public. What will you bid for a gas stove, t lawn mower, an electric sweeper, wit dow shades, sewing machine, porel swing, what will you give for sprint chickens for your Sunday dinner, so home made candles, for a thousam thousand other articles you need ever, day? You will, have a chance to sa? Saturday afternoon in front of th. court house and the receipts go for : splendid cause —furnishing the rest rooms at the library. - — V The business and professional met and manufacturers of the city hav< subscribed liberally to the fund foi the big celebration here on August 22nd. They should be supported b. every public spirited citizen in th< community. If you have been over looked send a check to any member oi the committee .leave it at tills ofllci or send to S. E. Brown and be- assurer ft will be appreciated for many yean to come. Superintendent Mylolt received a quotation for steam coal at the mine of $7.00 per ton. Add to that the freight and other cost and a slight profit for handling and the retail pric will be aroundd thirteen dollars. Wt understand that supply and demant cause the boost but what we don'

quite get is why this happens when Mr. Hoover assured the public that $3.50 would be the just the right price aud that any one who attempted tu charge more ' would be ’ deported or otherwise disposed of. is all this public stuff bunk or just what are we to understand by normalcy There are few communities the equal of this one when it comes to st’ckiug together tor affairs of general

interest. The canvass made by the finance committee for Yeoman day was great, beyond expectations. Every one with an exception or two, did all or more than they were asked.’ Not only do we give but we gave in such a spirit as not to mar the results. We do it gladly and we will go on with our plans with the assurance that the day will be the greatest of its kind ever offered In the United States of America. We’re a real community. Boost. The various committees engaged in planning for the Yeomen day are meeting this week and will report Friday evening. You will know then that these men and women are in earnest and that they will finish the job. The big event is being put on by the Decatur Industrial association and if you are not a member of that body you ought to be for their only effort is to help make this a better community. That’s what you want for yourself and children and this is a little, the biggest thing we have ever attempted. The entire United States is talking about it and it’s something to be told that we are in the final running. Come on. »verybody, get in this game. The world likes the hustler, the lives ones, ■hose with ideals which uplift yet are ■'radical. Can you imagine anything greater than extending a hand to the helpless children

JUSTGOTOVERACOLD? Look out for kidney troubles and backache. Colds overtax the kidneys and often leave them weak. For weak kidneys—well, read what a Decatur woman says:

Mrs. Frank Bogner, 1104 W. Monroe St., says: "I can say that Doan's Kidney Pills is a most excellent remedy because I have used them. Whenever I have caught cold my kidneys would become disordered. My back would get sore and stiff and sharp twinges would go through me when I would get up from a chair. I suffered a great deal ' before I used Doan's Kidney PtUs. They soon put a stop to the trouble, it has now been sometime since I have needed a kidney remedy." (Bta‘mnent given Nov. 7, 1915.) On Oct. 23, 1920, Mrs. Bogner said: "I have had very little trouble with my kidneys of late. Occasionally I use Doan's for slight attacks and they always give prompt relief." 60c, at all dealers Foster-Milburn C<Jk, Mfrs , Buffalo. N T. ...—,l. mi|y

RESIDENTS OF TOCSIN ARE MAKING EFFORTS TO SAVE HIGH SCHOOL If Tociin loses her high school it will not be the fault of the women of that part of the county. Four petitions are in circulation, and determined, as they are. the women bearded tho lion in its den, by carrying one

• of them to Ossian. Not many signa- , tures were obtained in Ossian, how- ! ever, as the Ossian school would profit greatly by the elimination of the j Tocsin school, but of course the lady 1 who presented the matter to Ossian people was very kindly received. The petition comes as a result of • some work going on, both by the trustee and apparently the state board, 1 to have the Tocsin school put out of I business, by reason of the small num- ■ her of pupils, and have those who wish a high school education hauled ' either to Ossian or the New Bincas-

ter township school. The state board has made some pointed recommendations along ih.it line, but the Tocsin people have more than 300 signatures to their petitions to save the school. They contend that it will be cheaper to maintain a hig i school at Tocsin than to pay Lancaster township, < ind hauling charges to both Ossian and Lancaster. ... • * ..a I*. Ift 1 •

The petitions will be kept in circulation until everyone interested has been approached. —Bluffton Hanner. T DR.
