I grant permission to hold a GibbonsI Dempsey scrap at Fort Harrison but the governor says there is nothing I dir'ng and most people will agree that to enter into any combination in which Jack Dempsey tgkes part, is poor sportsmanship. jack- and manager are demanding half the gate receipts and all the best of it and the people of this state prefer such affairs be conducted somewhere else. Let ’er go in New Jersey or Mca'ana. , The new traffic ordinance proposed by the city council should be read by every person interested. It is a good ordinance because it provides rub s for greater safety. Hereafter it will be unlawful for automobiles to rush after the tire department, closer than live hundred feet or to park closer than that to the scene of the! fire. The ordihance also gives authority to the traffic men to enforce their instructions, fixes parking rules and provides a tine of one to a himi dred dollars and a ninety day jail I sentence for those who act foolish. Decatur will send a good sized delegation to the Better Hoads meeting at the Berne Auditorium Friday evening. We firmly believe that it is

wisdom to organize the county so that we can present a united front to the state commission and can assist them in such ways as will induce them to give Adams county the hard surface roads deserved. The meeting promises to be an interesting one and well attended for word comes from various parts of the county that citizens are going. The crowd from this community will leave here about seven o'clock Friday evening. Better go along. The Minnesota election developed into a landslide for Johnson as the later returns came in and this morning looked like it would reach 85,000, a turnover since last November which should make most every one understand that the voters are d: satisfied with the unfair tariff and the inai 1 vity lot tl\e administration to provide a means which will create a market for farm products. Men like Johnson are dangerous in the senate, incresi: Ing the bloc of LaFollette and preventing action even if the leaders desire it but the people are tired of present conditions and will say so every time they vote until a change comes. Out in Oakland. California, the merchants decided to join together and publish an advertising sheet ! called Shopping News. They did and ; they found that it tiot only cost them double what newspaper advertising had cost but that it did not bring results. It suspended the other day and the chairman of the committee in charge of the publication said: “While some of those interested stated that they got good results, still a majority vote caused the decision to suspend. In all fairness I wish to state that no medium of advertising can take the place of the daily newspapers.” Another merchant interested said this: “I wish to state that all advertising done in a dignified way is good advertising, but’ there isn’t any method comparable with newspaper advertising for satisfactory results.” Merchants in other cities who have questioned the value of newspaper advertising, have tried other experiments, but without exception always have returned to the newspapers and are glad to get back. 0 LEFT-OVER POTATOES Don’t pile leftover potatoes together in a bowl, as they will sour quickly.

The People’s Voice _ _—*■'' "■*■■’ To the editor of the Decatur Dail.' Democrat: Will the farmers let the Canada Thistle take the country.’ You can hardly find a farm today tiiai is free of them. We have laws concerning the cutting of this pernn ions weed, but the law is evaded, and the thistles allowed to multiply by the thousands. No one wishes to report against a neighbor’s neglect in the cutting of these weeds while they are in bloom or before. But something must be done. Many farmers have thousands of them in the woods or rimherland and because they are there the farmers think they do uot need to cut them. They go to seed •nid the wind, the great scatterer ot seeds, carries them far and near. Each farmer must tight these thistles m his own farm. Unless farmers do this a bill will lie put througlit the next legislature that will give power Into the hands of an extra County iffleer, who will look after the weeds, ind farmers will have him to pay. Do you want to pay an officer tor what you would look after yourself? It will come to this unless the law concerning the cutting of the thistles s fulfilled.
