WORTH WHILE PUBLICITY: — Editor Evans of the Yeoman Shield again refers to Decatur in an editor ial that reads like poetry and further signifies that Ulis community hie grasped the ideals back of the effor to provide a home and school for children, which will as near as pm sible take the place of those presid ed over by mother and “dad." R>. printing the Shield editorial of Fell ruary and the response thereto from this paper the March number generously gives us this in print: “Communities like Decatur, and there are many of them, desire the City of Childhood, not because it will bring a few more dollars to them, but iK-causc it will afford an opportunity for service to children. The people in such communities understand th.* the children’s lives cannot be limit to the services of the superintendent . and foster mothers of the Holm They must have and enjoy commi :■ ity,lifer. They must have and eni > the acquaintance and friendship am 1 helpfulness of the good men. wont ~ and children of the community. “Sometimes when the skies ar-: dark and the days are grey; when v recall the horrors of battle field.; these eyes have witnessed; when we read of crime and unrest and threatened anarchy, we are afraid of th t future. Then we are consoled and refreshed by the thought that all over this nation of ours there art thousands of Decaturs whose people have enjoyed “a hundred years <•? right living' who have a “unitied faith in mankind" —and who talk or children! God he thanked for the country towns and countrysides of America, for the Decaturs whose p-< - pie have the “pentevostal fervor." I "What a joy it is to get out and away from the grime and noise and sins of the streets of the city cut into God's Great Out-of-Doors, cut into the country communities th. “talk out loud." where peace ami quiet reign ami the Golden Rule is the law of action."

vinciugly uud Cockruu was one of ; them. A few hours before his death ho delivered a powerful speech iu I congress opposing farm credit legislation and it mattered not to him that llie membership was practically a unit against his views. He was a member of and u defender of Turnmany and during the past third of a century has taken part in many political battles, always with courage 'and sincerity. His death removes a 'man who believed In America and the constitution and stood for her with every ounce of his strength. This was a bright and sunny day which gave every one the thought that perhaps spring may be near. | Its coming and then what? Lets [paint and clean up. The suggestion that every store front be repainted is a good one. A few things like this which cost but little will make people

I YOU IN ALL COLORS h LIVES OF GREAT MEN ALL u REMIND US p Now they say that Henry Ford is one di the worlds greatest, mon—- " because he has filled the roadways >’ with tin. a MARY’S SISTER Molly sat down upon a pin. But yelled no exclamation, For some ol her was genuine And some was limitation. MAN ASKS LITTLE IN THIS I WORLD I A Kentucky mountaineer who had been reared by his older brother was sent on his first visit to town. Guzin;out of a window he asked the merchant: "What's that?” "A woman." the merchant replied. "I want one." , “I'll get one for you." A few weeks later he returned. “I want another woman,” he said. "Why, I just got you one a short time ago.” “Yep. I know, but she broke her leg and 1 bad to shoot her.” NIECES ARE SO TRYING ON ONE’S NERVES (From Boulder. Colo., Camera) ~ Miss Elizabeth Hornberger of Hen ver spent several hours in Boulde: Sunday with her niece. Miss Coz. Hemberrfer. She is resting easier today. THOSE MOTHERS-IN-LAW ARE AL.WAYS DOING PECULIAR STUNTS (From Norfolk Ledger) The mother ol the bride wore a gown of black lace over white satin and her flowers were a bouquet of orchids and lilies-ot-the-vally. Th< mother of the groom wore a corsagbouquet of violets ami orchids. And ths guests all wore smiles. A BUSTED FRIENDSHIP For seven years Bill Prune and I rI sided side by side with not a cloud Icross the sky and case a shadow wide I nursed him when he had the flu and tlid up all the chores; 1 helped him build his bungaloo by fitting all the doors. He sat beside my bed of pain when I was down and out; he reaped my corn and shucked my grain, and fed the hogs their kraut. Oh. we were friends of purest ray—real neighbors frank and square -I cobbled up hi one-horse shay, he trimmed my aubur hair. But now vendetta’s b-en d< dared between old Prune and me. no more our mutual joys are sharein loving comradery. For Willyum bought a speckled hen with long sharp pointed toes and kept ft in a little pen for why? Nobody knows And that denied hen raised genera heck out in my garden cute: she mad of it an awful wreck and spilled lh< beans to boot. I grabbed my double shoveled gun and sallied forth in in-; I lew her as she turned to run, and threw li‘-r in tlx- fire. Oh. had Bil not procured that lien, our friendship would have thrived, but it went galli routing when she iu my garden strived. Good feeling now is on tilling and you may bank on that; las: eve he chloroformed my dog, today i killed Ills cat. Uncle Dud If you tak" a walk through the ceme tary alone you will pass the last rest ing pace of a man who looked dowr the muzzle of a. shotgun to see if it wa; loaded. A little further down th slope is Un- crank who tried to sh-r how close he could come to a moving tram. In trolling about you see tm monument of a hired girl who tried l< light the tire with kerosene, and a grass covered knoll that covers the boy that put a cob under a mule's tail. That tall shaft over the man tlfiit blow out the gas easts a shadow over the boy who tried to jump on a moving train. There with the top of a shoe box driven over his head is a rich man who married a young wife. Away over yonder reposes the boy who went fishing on Sunday and the woman who kept strychnine in her cupboard, and over in the potter'.; Held may be sx- n the bleaching bones of a man fllio tried to whip the editor. Old Timer Is Back "My friends had all given up and n -ver expected to see mo around again. I had given up hoping myself. as no medicine touched my cam . The doctors had tried everything. My food did not digest and filled me with gas. My brother in Philadel. phai wrote me to try Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. The first dose gave me wonderful relief and I am now as well as I ever was and feel thirty years younger." It is a simple, harm less preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract ami allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded Sold by ♦tollhouse Drug Co., and other good druggsts, everywhere. ■j . : t-j ■T * , H ' Overblouses,of white crepe or, lace are effectively worn with black'dull crepe costumes.
