Paint up, dean up, fix the yard, help make the city more beautiful. H’s a little early but this is the first day of March and a good time to begin planning and thinking about it. If you haven’t put up a mail box or arranged for some way to receive the daily mail you will understand why you didn't get any statements today. Until you provide the means as required by the government you will have to call at the postoffice. Ninety gallons of moonshine whiskey, a hundred and ten proof, was dumped into the White river at Mun cie yesterday and now a lot of fellows are cursing their luck that they are not "poor fish.” The governor has referred the bill! I which will prevent the speedway, races on Memorial Day to the attor-l Uey general and now if that gentleman will dig up some reason for Imlding its unconstitutional he will lender a favor to the chief executive and lift him out of a bothersome hole. The people of this county will pay two cents a gallon extra for their gas and get back half a cent. We still fail to see why we shouldn’t have two cents back. It's a long way around to send it through the channels of the state highway commission and every one knows that when it comes* home it won't be half size. That’s I wliats the matter these days. We pay for more than we get. Decatur is going to go forward tins year. Kick the pessimist out of the way and tell old man Gloom to get around the corner where prosper ity has been hiding for a couple of years and stay there for all lime to come. We have many things to do and we haven't time to fool around arguing with the fellow who insists there is nothing ahead but trouble. Retiring as postmaster General Dr. Hubert Work gives out a statement in which he shouts that the wise thing to do is Io take the postmasterships out of politics and keep it there for the good of the service and jhc public. Its rather funny that this happens each time the other side has been in a couple of years and has fired the old and supplanted him with a perfectly good political worker from that party to which the I’. M. G. belongs. Then the new man begins immediately .working up a more perfect political machine. Imagine Har ry New with a non-political organization. He won't make it, and neither would any other politician bij? enough to get the job as postmaster general. The basket ball* situ s come tomorrow. Eleven teams with many rooters for each, members of the faculties, •teachers and others will be here for the annual tourney, an event bigger for the school folks titan Christmas forcin' kiddies. The boys will | — Hl. — - "'**> I Alive! I JtE'k frwr ills with Dr KINGS PILLS Bi jpjfT- -for constipation

We extend a sincere welcome to ail r. visitors and assure them tiiut the ’■ good people of this community wish •, to extend them every courtesy. We're glad you arc coming, hope you like us and will want to return. Tomorrow * and Saturday the town belongs to ) the basket ball players aud supportj Ing Laus. [ The annual campaign of the Daily I Democrat for renewal subscruptions of our big family of readers will close Saturday. That it bus been a splendid success is best proven by the fact that practically every ouo has paid, two thousand needle cases having been given away. Add to this our city subscriptions of nearly 1,200 ami two hundred whose date falls at ether times of the year and it is r adily seen that onrlist has grown to 3,500, the largest in history. We ace proud of the record aud we assure you that we will give our even' effort and the best we have to make the paper your compauiou aud your guide for the news of the county, state and world. Have your friends subscribe and help us make the Daily Democrat the greatest small town paper in the country. That's our life's ambition. ■IUWL£ L OMN WOULD GRANT HIS WISH X evangelist, after talking for some t: ne, and working himself up to a high r ini of emotion, shouted “Oil. if the ■vil were only here in person, that I might strive with him hand in hand.''

I crave no monument of stone with chiseled words of praise; no loud harangue in strident tone by .silverspeaking jays. I do not want that pomp and show should mark my last lorn ride; I'd like to have the ones who go regret that I iiad died. A few tried friends to grieve for me—within and not without —and drop a tear in memory when I have gpm- the route, is .ill I ask. no more I crave, with this 'll be content; a modest stone to mark my grave—no stately monument. For in Hie silence of the tomb, perchance a million years, I'll sleep With iliose who met their doom with brav'ry or with fears, and know not that folks rent, their clothes and ruined up their ' hair when I turned up my bunioned ■ toes and diol for want ot air.

‘ " **-■»"> ■■■ ■ old maid? Second fljpllcger: Well, old top, I 'must confess, that is one. 1 cannot guess. What's the answer.' First Coll&scr: To do the first would be a incident, but the latter and accident. A Chicago bootlegger spilled some of his poisqn on the floor, so that a little stream of it ran downstairs. A venturesome mouse sallied forth from his hole and thought. Then he came ilt tasted strange and he went back in | Ids hole ad thought. Then hjj rams |out ainf took another'sip and went; Ibaek again and thought. Then he ‘came out and took a big drink. Then i lie jumped upon the ledge of a soap

box and stood upon hla hiud legs., I bristled his whiskers and exclaimed: tj"Now, bring mH that d d cat." POCKETBOOKS t Pocketbooks are tho temporary rest I lug places of small bits of money. They are usually flat as a married ,'man's excuses for being out late, and I I as slim as his cltauees of being be 'llierad. Pocketbooks ware designed so that they might be rotund in shape J and robust in health, but the atmos Inhere of today is conducive to pocket book anaemia which is leaving them but more shadows of their formei 1 selves. Pocketbooks, like chaperous. are not 'of much practical use these days. |

, Peoplr would probably discard them entirely if it were not so easy to carry them in their pockets. Ono good thing about them is that they do not make a mans clothes bulge out in un unsightly manner, nor do they make bis I shoulders weary from the weight of currying them. They are usually like a fool's head or the arguments of the i opponents of society. According to •the present trend they will soon be used only for newspaper clippings, snap shots, of blonde stenographers, and other scraps of papers aud papers ■of scraps.
