The August <lays will soon be over and the snappy autumn will be here. With September comes the opening of school and other activities and plrnty to keep you busy. It is claimed that the six cent reduction in the price of gasoline will save Indiana motorists $140,000 a month. That totals more than a million and a half a year if the price holds and the auto owners don't try to make too many long distance runs. Prize lighting does not seem to be very profitable at Indianapolis. Firpo received only half the amount promised him and most of the others who had bills got less in proportion. The fan;, did not respond in great numbers, the fake part being made too plain ahead of time but at that the participants probably received forty times more than the show was worth. It would be interesting to know just what the republican papers which are declaring that Stamp's appointment as private secretary to the president is just right, would be saying if a democratic president had selected as his private secretary and political boss a man v had handled the patronage for a district in the south. We can guess that it would he rough enough to suit the taste of any lover of fire works. It's time to put in your coal if you haven't done it. There is no probability of a reduced price and there is

danger of strikes aud a shortage and a boost in prices. The local deutara have no control over the prices and they cun only furnish you the comi modify which will soon be so necea- ! sary us they can get it. The safe : way to play it is to (ill the coal bin I now aud let the other fellow worry about the shortage and high prices after while. UU BSf Oklahoma has martial law now aud is getting on the that page of about every paper lu the country. It's a cold day when that state is not palling off something to prove that the publicity department is on the job. Not always is it complimentary, in fact most of it is just the opposite but the (act remains that each time you pick up a paper you find Oklahoma mentioned. The riots there and jn other states will very probably result in legislation which will forbid meteings of masked aud hooded men. The business grows serious. Postmaster General New has issued a request to jiatrons of rural routes to paint the route mail boxes. He says at present they present a very unsatisfactory appearance and urges that all be painted white with the name of the owner on each side iu plain black letters and that this be done once each year. It is also requested that tire posts which support the boxes also be painted white. It is announced that in case any person does not comply the service of mail delivery will not be withdrawn so long as the boxes remain weatherproof but postmasters are asked to help secure such (/.-operation among the farmers of the routes as to sett cure a one hundred percent compliance with the order. In this county many of the boxes and posts have been painted this year and the improvement is quite noticeable. Every patron should comply. It is but slight trouble and expense and worth more than it costs. Decatur needs a hundred new homes and we need them now. There has been some talk from various ‘ sources during the past few months but little real progress and if we expi <t the town to grow we should become interested in this, the most important project in a long time. Business men figure what it would mean to you to have a hundred more families living here. There is not a vacant hoifse in the city, fit to live in, according to reports. We know of several people who have searched I the town over for one and we know of a number who would like to move here if they can secure houses. Isn't that rather serious? We have talked I for years about growing and now when the opportunity presents itself we fail because we do not provide places for those who would come. It can be done of some one will bold ano put it over. We need ordinary houses which can be purchased or rented by those who have an in-

FEW FOLKS HAVE GRAY HAIR NOW Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Hair that loses its color aud lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and : lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur . in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur i to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.” which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has , been applied. You just dampen a . sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage . and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance. o Klcinknight-Kunklc Reunion August SO The annual reunion of the Kleinknight and Kunkel families will be held Thursday.
