The north and south trunk highway through Adams county would connect this county with all the important <ast and west cross-country ro; ds and would be of great service to the farmers, business or traveling man in reaching one of the towns in the county. It’s something that we can’t afford to pass up and the improvement is worth more to Adams county than it would cost to get it. The patronage given the Adams County Memorial hospital on the opening day proves that the people of this county were waiting for a place to .ge in time of sickness. Six patients were admitted to the hospital yesterday and Miss Christ, the superintendent, and her staff of nurses, proved that they were capable of taking care of them and more if necessary. Decatur welcomes the young men who are here from all parts of the country attending the annual summer session of the Col. Ruppert Auctioneering School. Many excellent young men are attending the school this year and arc getting the advantage of the training and instruction from one of the world s greatest auctioneers. During their stay here make the boys feel at home. Turn out for the Chautauqua this week. Today is the opening day an.t the program arranged is one of the best. Besides the concert to be given by the Mercer Concert company. Frank Waller Allen, author and the American forum type of speaker will deliver a wonderful lecture this evening on "Turning Fear into Faith.” Each day’s program is entertaining and instructive and worth the price of a season ticket. On Thursday evening I’. S. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi will give a lecture on the "Problems of the Day. Discouraging word comes from the bedside of President Warren Harding, ill at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco. At seven, o’clock this morning his condition was worse and the five attending physicians gave cut a statement that his condition was grave. Added to the effects of ptomaine poisoning, bronchopneumonia has set in and the chief executive is making a fight for his life. The sympathy of the American people is extended to him and everyone is trusting that God in His infinite

I mercy will spare their president. The best physicians of the country have been calk'd to Ills bedside and everything possible is being done to restore the chief executive to health. Street Commissioner Ed Augenbough appeals to the property owners of Vacant lots in this city to cut the weeds before legal action is taken against There is u city ordinance against the allowing of weeds on vacant lots or along the sidewalks and it will be enforced if the* property owners clo not comply with it this week (’lvie pride should prompt you to cut the weeds. They inuke your place look run down. A certain sidewalk in this city is so covered with weeds that it is almost impossible for n person to ge t through without ruining his clothes. These weeds should be c ut now and if you do not want to do It out of civic pride, do it because the law compels you. What clo you think about a free Chautauqua? You will be called upon this week to express your opinion. By a free Chautauqua is meant that instead of subscribing for p bunch of tickets and then sell them, you pledge to give the amount you would spend for tickets for your own family. Os course you can give more if you with. If enough money could pe raised in this manner sufficient to guarantee the payment of high class talent, the rental of the tent and chairs and other expenses connected with a Chautauqua the entertainment would be given free to all who wish to attend. Think about it. Or clo you wish to continue the same plan as now practiced? The state board of tax commissioners has rejected the assessments of I ersonal property in Adams and twenty-four other counties in Indiana the members stating that they were too low. They have also ordered the county auditors in the counties affected to call the board of reviews in session and to increase all the assessments. Word from Indianapolis is to the effect that the increases expected range from five to fifty per, cent. If the boar ‘ l can <le ’ termine what the assessment of property should be in this county why go to all the trouble of having the township assessors assess it, the board of review adjust and equalize it and then have all the work to do over? The fixing of one’s assessment or worth in Adams county from a desk at Indianapolis will not meet I with popular favor and above all is not the correct and just way to assess property. The c hange will delay the work in the auditor’s office making it impossible to prepare next , year's lax duplicates and will be an extra expense added to the taxpayer's burden. o Charles Sether Is Remodeling Building Charles Sether is remodeling his largo business building on North Second street. A partition is being placed in. the c< nter of the first floor and an entrance is being made to the north room from Second street. It was stated that the north room would be rented by a local business concern but as yet no lease has been signed. The Sether building is on the east side of the street and part of it ie used as a storage room by the Sether cigar company.

ALLIES REPLY TO NOTE TODAY Contents Os Answer To Reparations Note Are Kept Secret, However London. July 31—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Allied replies to Britain’s reparations note were laid before the cabinet* today by Marquis Curzon. Their contents are to remain an official secret. It is understood, however, as a result of a suggestion by Italy, that the British note to Germany may include an invitation to join the league of nations. Germany is understood to be quite willing to enter the league. Re plies of France and Belgium were, delivered formally in writing, while that of Italy was conveyed in a brief conversation between Lord Curzon and the Italian ambassador. A reply from Japan also is expected. In many quarters it is believed further interchange of notes will result from the cabinet's consideration of the French and Belgian suggestions. Although it was reported that the French note permits of further exchange of views, it is understood the initial British impression of it is decidedly pessimistic. It has been definitely decided that Baldwin shall reveal the government's official attitude in tile house on Wednesday. — o

This is exactly what happened on Monroe street, about 6 o’clock yesterday evening. Little William Shaffer, four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Shaffer, sat in his father's junk wagon in front of the B. W. Sholty home on Monroe street and kept striking the horse. The horse started to run and headed east on that street. It crossed several street intersections and When it reached Second street, a few men tried to stop is, but it dashed madly on. Ed Whitright, in his ice wagon, pursued the run-away. All the while the little boy was laying in the bottom of the wagon bed. The horse was brought to a stop beyond the main entrance of Bellmont Park. The horse wagon and boy were none the worse for their exciting trip.

GETTING BY GIVING YOU prove it every day; tho best and surest way • to get is to give. The merchant has to learn that if he fixes his eye on the immediate money profit, he finds, pretty soon, there isn’t much profit to see. But the merchant who gives himself and his service to his customers, in good values, in a close margin of profit, in an assurance of good quality in the goods, and in a guaranty of continued satisfaction —his business grows. Our business has grown that way. Holthouse Schulte & Co. “Good Clothes Selters for Men and Boys”
