Quoting high prices that can’t be realize!) is a poor way to gain confidence of the voters. Klan candidates lost in the primaries in Ohio and Arkansas Tuesday, the surest sign that the people are awakening to the dangers of permitting any organization of that kind to influence or control. Both sides are considered strong klan states. The results in November will further prove the foolishness of tieing politically to a hooded order attempting to manipulate politics. We can't understand how anybody can feel they should not vote. Just stop and consider for a moment what would happen if everybody else thought the same way. What would become of this country? Who would make the laws or enforce them? Surely you owe enough to a great nation which protects you to help select the officers who will conduct the affairs.

It you are not registered be sure to do so October 6th and then plan to vote, to help get your neighbor to vote and show a real interest in government, local, state and national. As tine a bunch ot men and women as ever visited Decatur attended the Rotary picnic given at Bellmont Park yesterday in honor of “Bob” Heun, district governor. They left late last evening declaring the event in every way was a big success. Col. Fred Reppert as chief "razzer” kept every one laughing, the stunts were good, the luncheon delicious, the entire program high class and the day a happy one. We are proud of lhe local men and women whose efforts culmiuat ui in the district meeting which brought many words of praise from all who attended. The speeches last evening were optimistic, uplifting, aide and devoted to the teachings of Rotary, than' which no better organization existss in America. The republican press is cartooning and using editorials and even resorting to fake news stories to convince the public that times were hard during the Wilson administration. That takes nerve Just now when the democratic newspapers of the country have been helping to keep up an optimistic feeling when it is well known that

many industries have been closed dtir- ‘ ing lhe Uaßt months. The ' Hteel business has been three-fourths ' down, the automobile tactortes have been just operating with the exception of a few, general business has'' been slow and they know it. As J' lhe times during the Wilson adminis- 1 tration they can be remembered by| most of us as the most presperoq.' ever known. They must be hard

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With Mrs. Frederick M. Paisl President of the Young Women’s Christian Association (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) There were even th* jolly "hee hee’s!” that ring out over the back sense, amid the applause of waving kerchief s of that great audience. A beautiful tribute of woman to woman was witnessed when Mrs. Frederick M. Paist was overwhelmingly re-elect-ed National President of the Young Women's Christian Association. She had presided with grace and dignity during that convention in New York City, attended by representatives from all over the world. Her genius for administrative work was emphasized in the dispatch of business. During one short interim she yielded the gavel for a breathing speil and greeted the young women of the various bureaus like a commander on the firing line, her eyes still shining with the inspiration of that gathering of earnest women. "Women are now beginning to live

more for others than ever. What is more cheering td a woman’s heart than the honest praise and support of womankind?” There wa s a moistened eye reflecting the depth of her appreciation. The National President of the Young Women’s Christian Association was born in Boonesboro, lowa, the daughter of White Block Wilbur. Her brother is Hon. Curtis D. Wilbur, secretary of the Navy in President’s Coolidge’s cabinet, who retired from the supreme bench of California to accept the appointment. Mrs. Paist wa s formerly the head of the Christian Endeavor Society and upon her removal to Germantown, Pennsylvania, she became more prominently identilled with the Young Women’s Christian Association. "With its now broadened member- ' ship, the Young Women’s Christian * Association will prove an important * factor in world affairs. Naturally wo- 1 men understand the necessity and < the importance of Christian training ' and education. The language of love 1 that come s in the heart of a mother - for a child. Our girls are doing wonderwul work —practical work making ? for substantial self reliant womanly 1 citizenship.” 1 Familiar with legislative action, s Mrs. Paist keeps in close touch with ( the work of the Young Women’s Chris- t tian Association in all parts of the ' t country. When I called up a Young

up for some thing to talkr and write about. Why not discuss the administration of the past four I years and the things they did not do? I The protests against the appointment of H. N. Sherwood to be super- 1 Intendent of public instruction to succeed Benjamin J. fiurris, should the latter resign in the near future, are somewhat embarrassing to all concerned. Mr. Sherwood is republican candidate for the office, and the natural thing would be for a republican governor to appoint him. A failure to do so because of the protests made against his appointment, would be a judgment on Sherwood iu advance of. the verdict at the polls. The protests come from men of high character, and therefore are entitled to consideration. 1 The situation is embarrassing both for the governor and Mr. Sherwood, as a candidate. Il has been proposed that Mr. Burris, who has been appointed head of the eastern division of the Indiana State Normal School at Mun-

cie. serve out his term as superintendent of public instruction, which does not expire until spring, instead of resigning September 1 to assume his new duties Perhaps it might be arranged sos Mr. Burris to hold on 'til after the election at least. That would help some. Then the governor could, with perfect propriety, appoint the winner to fill out the unexpired term. —Indianapolis News. — o I* TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY * — * From the Dally Democrat files ♦ 20 years ago this day ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦**♦*♦♦♦♦♦ * I !

1 • y n > J® X ■••• v.yv. c- y e A y 1 MRS. PAIST says: ’ ‘‘Our girls are doing wonderful work —practical work making for substantial self-reliant womanly citizenship.” Woman’s Christian Association far, ; away from headquarters, 1 heard all about Mrs. Paist. Her personality seems to impress itself upon the membership which includes approximately a million young women consecrated to the cause of Christian fellowship

among women. The practical side of her duties has a special appeal for Mrs. Paist because it concerns the opportunities of-, sered girls who are earning their own, living. A thorough survey of the, functions of the organization was made during the war overseas, and j the result is a far-reaclyng, increasing influence which began in patriotic and vigorous war service and logically continued after the armistice. “The Young Women’s Christian Association is a point of contact, a means of acquaintance that brings the social life of the nation or community together in a common understanding of their aspirations and hopes for their families.” A medium-sized woman, usually dressed in black, wearing pearls, face aglow in speaking, graceful in ges- 1 tures, with a voice equally well modulated for the charm of conversation, or in presiding over or speaking to a large audience, Mrs. Paist is decisive, but always amiable and enthusiastic | —she is a leader who leads. “We are planning to make the next, year one of the most nibble in our ( history. It is only of greater possibilities. The menbership will soon extend to every nation on earth, with a fuller appraisal of the inestimable heritage of young womanhood, as the priceless boon of every country.”

Indiana has increased approximately ' $19,000,000 over the total valuation I fixed by the board for the 1924 as-[I sessment, the state tax board an- I nounced today. ' j The valuation made in 1923 was | $886,708,903 as compared with thia , year's valuation of $895,431,763. The J largest increase was made in tele- ' )■!.<,no and other public utility values. J The telephone valuations showeel an I increase from $14,450,417 to $54,563,- | 35'6 during the year, while at the same time utility ed from $106,736,239 to $118,854,942. I The values of steam and electric railI roads, pipe line companies, sleeping ear companies, express companies,' banks, and car equipment companies! showed a According to members of the tax! board except in certain localities this! increase will only have a small affect on decreasing tax rates because it is so widely distributed. Seven county boards of review have refused to comply with the state board’s action in increasing the county board’s valuations on certain classes of persona! property the board announced. Eleven county boards complied with them. Vermillion county board reported that it would take no action for either approval or disapproval. The boards in Henry, Fountain and Greene counties have no,, been heard from. The county boards that refused to comply are those of Adams, Hendricks, Posey, Putnam, Sullivan, Tipton and Wells counties; and those

I that have complied are in Blackford. ' Brone, Clinton. Davies. Grant. Montgomery. Owen. Parke, Scott. Warren I ami Warrick counties.

Game Wardens Arrested 209 People During -June —'— I Indianapolis, Aug. 14 —(Special 10 j Daily Democrat)—State game war ( dens arrested 209 alleged violators of | fish and game laws during June and . of this number 192 were convicted f and paid fines and costs amounting to 13,738.05. Fourteen cases are pend ing. In a report filed with Richaid Ember, director of the state conservation department, George N. Manntebl. superintendent of the fish and game division .says that 43 salaried wardens worked in June this year compared to 37 during June a year ago. The division has at its disposal 31 motor ears of whch 23 are used by warden in patrolling the state, and eight are used by hatchery employes to d;-tri-bute baby fish to the various public waters. Mannfield calls attention that some confusion and misunderstanding exists concerning the rights of honorably discharged soldier to hunt and fish in Indiana without a license. Only former service men who are residents have this privilege, he says. » :nd that non-resident former service men do not have this privilege undei the Indiana larf. The law establish ing the resident hunting and fishing license expressly states that only soldiers, sailors and marines who actually served in a war may fish and hunt without a. license. Civil war veterans of the whole 'United States, however, may hunt and fish free in Indiana. Mannfeld suggests that if ex-soldiers ami service men claiming their right under this law will carry their discharge papers while hunting and fishing, much confusion now prevalent can he avoided. Selecting Children For New Rilev Hospital Indianapolis, Aug. 14 —As the day approaches when the first Indiana children will be admitted to the Janies Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children, steps are being taken over the state to select the cases of crippled and undernourished children de serving of the first consideration. While the executive committee of the Riley Memorial Association is speeding the work of completing the first units of the Ijospital so that the first 120 child patients can be accomodated, several agencies Yin Indiana are cooperating to choose the children who will be the first to receive treatment at the Riley hospital. Word was received from Columbus, Ind., that the Kiwanis Chib of that city would urge the acceptance of Little Deward Webb, of Columbus, as the first patient to be accepted from Bartholomew county. This eight-year old boy, impaired by clubbed feet and hands since his birth, was recommended to the Kiwanis Club of Columbus, a large contributor to the building fund of the hospital, by Dr. Lyman Overshiner and Dr. C. G. Harrod. . The Riley executive committee has I been notified by Carl H. McCamish that the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs of Winchester.
