As u result of the balloon race which started from indianapolia July 4th the big V. S. Navy A-66!»8, manned by Lieutenants L. J. Roth aud T. B. Null, fell iu Luke Erie and the men are believed lost. The balloon has*been recovered but the basket to gone and the tuen cannot Im- located. It is a sad experiment and leads us to wonder why a baloon race any way? Remember it’s just as important that Dveatnr gets a north und south trunk highway and an east and west trunk as it is that we have the Pennsylvania und Erie and Clover Leaf railways. In a few years this will be even more evident than now and the communities effected cannot afford j to do anything but assist those try- ] ing to build them to the best advant- | age. ’ Reading between the lines of the letters from Mr.- Farmer and Mr. Evans. Decatur may not be included in the s'.x sites from which the Yeomen will select one for the children’s home, but the fact remains as we i have represented it that if they are ; seeking the most fertile soil for the ■; building of a great institution we | have it. No where in all the United i States have they found so splendid ’|a community of Godfearing people ‘I who think together and work to I gether and believe the great ideals.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, JULY 9, 1923

1 This community has nothing to apologize* for whether they are in the last ten, the last six or the final choice. We-believe as firmly as we ever did that we have the mental soil tor the home and that is the biggest thing after all and we believe the site should be located with the same care us was used by the Pilgrim Fathers several centuries ago. The rest is up to the board and it’s a big responsibility. There is a rumor which refuses to die out that Henry Ford will be an independent candidate for president next year. If he is it is also figured by experts he has an excellent chance to carry several states, perhaps sufficient that no candidate would receive a majority vote from the electoral college. Then the present congress would make the selection. each state receiving one vote so that the vote would be cast according to the democratic or republican majority of the delegation. This would result now. republian 23, democratic 20 and five states tied. -Of the tied states a change is possible to either one or the other of the two leading parties before congress convenes in December 1924 when the question would be settled. All of which is most interesting to those who watch the political score board. Public utilities were urged to advertise more intelligently and more continuously in an address by Bruce Barton, well-known author and magazine writer, at the convention of the I National Electric Light Association in New York. He said that keeping the public informed necessarily was a continuous job. as those who are informed move away or die and new one - places. He suggested that in dealing with the public, language the public can understand should be used. ‘ In fact, my message to you utility men.” he said, ‘’is ’be genuine, be simple, be brief. Talk to people in terms and in language that they understand and finally and most ot all be persistent.’ You can’t ext> t to advertise in flush times and live on the memory of it when you are hard up. You can’t expect to adi vertise when you are in trouble, or I about to be in trouble, and expect to I get anything in that direction. It is ! a uay-by-day and hour-by-hour busiInc ss. If the amount of money that has been thrown away by people who advertise spasmodically was all gathered together it would form and endow the -most wonderful home of aged advertising men and their i widows in the world. Don’t throw ! any of that money away. If it is ! worth doing at all, it is worth doing all the time. For every day, gentle- , men. ‘the King’ dies, and there arises , a new ’King who knows not Joseph’.” BIRTH Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Falk, of Peru. > are the proud parents of an elevon pound girl baby, born Thursday.
