more effort to keep the yards back and front looking just right. Those are the things ill make every one admit this is a better town. Its wortli it. Why not solve the seat question in the court yard by securing a permit from the government to make a park of the posioffice site? There Is uo indication the new building will be erected for several years and as n park with benches and walks it would be a most delightful place and , would save the beauty of the court house yard and lawn. The death of Phillip L. Andrews, former newspaper editor and postmaster here, well known citizen and for many years active in affairs, brings sorrow to this community. His last days wen- filled with intense suffering and death came as a relief to him. He was a native of this county and for many years a leader. For several years just past he has resided at Fort Wayne but his heart was always here mid bis thoughts were of the folks at home. He was active in lodge circles, in politics and for a score of years did newspaper work as reporter, editor and owner and in every duty he was faithful. According to Mr. Farmer, secretary of the Yeomen's home committee, Decatur is one of the twenty-seven sites still under consideration. Mr.j Farmer'admits that our people are the finest, our environment the best ! but is not enthusiastic alxmt our sites as' compared to thjise in other parts of the country. seems foolish to us that this should lie ma<W so. important a part of the decHon.

few millions will make any spot beautiful but will sot convert the heart, soul and mind of a community. If we are included iu the aix cities soon to be chosen, we believe the directors can be convinced of the value of that fuct. The Rotary club starts the campaign for the Riley Hospital fund oil with $1,000,' a dandy get-away and a sure sign of success for the very important duty to this great and progressive step in Indiana. During next week it is hoped that several times that amount can be raised in Adams county. The payments can be distributed over four years if you so desire. making it easy for you. The hospital is to be used for the entire state and no public movement in years has been more important. The Rotarians deserve credit for their initiative in this matter. President Harding believes in the | world court and has said so several times. His offer to include two reservations as a compromise to the irreconcilables is an announcement that Ite has backed up and is again under control of those opposed to assisting foreign countries to establish government and markets for he knows better than any one else how futile it would be to attempt to put through the next senate a measure of that kind and how impossible to reach an agreement with forty nations. He is j playing politics now. pure and simple and lie has demonstrated in the past I that he is a fairly good politician. Its a shame that we must lose more ' time in settling world affairs and getting down to real business. Quit* a number of people of Decatur have expressed opinions as to whether or not the seats should be left in the court yard. The matter seems to be about a fifty-fifty proposition. Captain W. H. Myers, an oM timer here and a veteran of the civil war called today and said he had tried to serve his uountry and Mis community and that about the onlyenjoyment he received now- is to visit with old friends. He feels that they ought to have a place where they could sit and rest an hour or two a day w hen weather permits and thinks the seats should be kept in the court yard. The benches belong to the city park where they are also in great demand and they were moved under a promise that they be returned Monday morning. If it is necessary to seat the court yard the matter will have to be taken -up through the commissioners and new benches purchased. *♦*****«♦***♦« + ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ ■ ■ - d* ♦ From the Daily Democrat files ♦ + 20 years ago this day ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ State Lodge members assist in initiation of 45 in Maccabee lodge.

"The losses to American agriculture are universally admitted and deplored,” said Mr. Harding, “but it is not an experience peculiar to American agriculture alone. Nor was the readjustment following war's inflations a burden to agriculture alone. It came to railroads, bankers, to manufacturers and to the mercantile world. The miracle is that we all escaped with so relatively little of disaster.” The President and Mrs. Harding got a wonderful personal greeting. They reached Hutchinson greatly refreshed after a night’s rest after their strenuous Kansas City day. Though the sun was hot there was a strong breeze and the air lapped the oppressive humidity so noticeable earlier. Harding’s sunburn was not hurting him and he had lost the drawn weary look he wore yesterday. Mrs. Harding wore a light summer dress and a blue hat and carried a small fan which she waved to the crowd. Addressing school children Harding said: "It is not enough in this country to have citizenship. We must have trained citizens and that's why we have schools for you.” The Presidential party was immediately started on a busy program on arrival. 0 Mrs. McGinnis Acquitted (United Press Service) Chicago, June 23.—(Special to DailyDemocrat)—The jury in the case of Mrs. Anna McGinnis, Myna Pioch her sister Francis Nee, and Charles Schade, tried on a charge of slaying Michael McGinnis. Anna’s husband, returned a verdict of not guilty today. The state charges that McGinnis, was shot when he learned his wife • was unfaithful.

He was reared.on the' paternal homestead and attended the common schools of Adams county. 1 completing his education at Lebanon, Ohio, and Portland, Indiana. During the next ten years he was engaged in school teaching. Later he read law and was admitted to the Adams county bar and then formed a partnership with the late P. G. Hooper. Mr. Andrews withdrew from tho law profession after about two years' practice, and in 1897, during the administration of President McKinley, was appointed postmaster of the Decatur office, serving his term of four years and six months with credit. He then moved to Missouri where he- engaged in the manufacture of staves and shingles, but remained there only a short time, returning to Decatur where he engaged in the newspaper business. He was a capable newspaper man and loved the latter profession. Politically he was a republican and at all times stood for the principles of his party. We took a deep interest in the general wclfaie of the community and endeavored to stand for the best interests of the multitude. Mr. Andrews was prominent in Masonic circles, being a past grand master of Decatur lodge, 571 of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons and past high priest of Decatur chapter No. 112 of the Royal Arch Masons. Mr. Andrews was married twice,
