These methods of showing customers you appreciate their trade are beneficial in many ways. It makes a fine reunion, a happy day for many ami those who receive gifts are convinced that it pays to trade in Decatur. Tomorrow is the day yon owe it to your pastor and to your community to go io church. It's the one day of the seven when you are expected to forget the worries and trials and tribulations of iliis short life and think of the millions of years which follow. With a month of the campaign we are making to renew our subscriptions gone about one half have neglected this. Won’t you please send in or bilng in your renewal at once? The only subscription list which is worth anythiqg to us as a selling proposition to advertisers is a "paid” list. It's important for us and we are sure you really want your home paper this year. The time will soon be up and the stock of premiums exhausted. Come In at once. After the next four weeks, it will be necessary to stop those papers which have not been renewed. We don't want to cut off a single one. We hope to add a hundred or two new ones. Help us do it. No other civilized people are as careless with fire us Americans. No other civilized nation has the annual fire loans that ours has. The American waste dug *° carelessness in construction and In handling fire has been appalling. But perhaps a representative number of people has been reached by fire prevention efforts durt ing the last few years and furnace* and other heat producing installations are being used with foresight and discretion. The old maxim, "Make haste slowly" might J>e revised to read. ".Make heat slowly." It is easier to start a fire than to stop it. easier to make it properly than to control it afte*' it gets out of hand. Absolute fireproof construction is almost a figment of tin* imagination so f«r as the uverupe householder is concerned and practically every house will burn If subjected to the right teuipcrature. —South Bend Tribune.

For ’ eight years lie served as president of J the United States and during a part I of that time he wus the world’s great- . est figure and commander-in-chief of the most marvelous army ever mobilised. He will find a place in history and during the decades to come, his words and acts will be talked about, discussed and many of his precedents followed. He has served his nation well as president of Princeton, governor of New' Jersey and president of the United States. His brilliant messages, his wise acts, his splendid achievements will live long. For more than four years he has been in illhealth, stricken during a campaign to give to the people ut America his version and his hopes for a league of nations and during these years which have followed his admirers have continued their hopes and prayers for his recovery. His death while a shock is not unexpected and his brave “I am ready" when told by his physicians that his time had cornu is a further proof of his fine, brave character. r — c—.—- A» APPEARANECS (Applied to you I .... “Clothes don’t make the man" That is very true.
