Since President Coolidge assumed office more than 10,000 job-holders' have been added to the payroll at an annual cost of $15,000,000. Have you registered? This is the last day and it’s up to you to see that you have qualified so you can vote. I Play it safe. ' Dr. Harry A. Garfield, president of Williams college and a son of the expresident. James A. Garfield, has come out for Davis for president. He gives as his reason that he is disatis-l 1 tied with the attitude of the republi-i. can party the past four years and , says he does not like the “rush for the trough.”

— And what about the park proposi-l tion at the old cemetery? What we' need in Decatur now and always is a I bunch of men and women who take hold of jobs that will benefit the com-' munity and finish them. We have' them and we believe this job will be done to the satisfaction of everyone as it can and should be. It is reported that Ed Jackson call-1 ed twenty-seven colored ministers into conference the other day and insisted he was their friend and that he is not friendly to the klan. , They I asked him to tell the people so through the white newspapers, but he declined because he said it might affect him the other way. It's difficult to carry water on both shoulders. While Senator LaFollette stand for

some things that are right he stands for many that are dangerous. His election would mean either that the nation stands still or backs up for four years.' You -don't want that to hap pen. Mr. Davis is a safe and sane democrat who is for the people and who should be elected president. Mr Coolidge is the down-east conserva lave type who will hold back ever, step of progress. Think well hov you will vote in the coming election and remember that upon the resultlargely depend your advancement for four years to come. Governor Branch has returned to Indianapolis, sayg he has been in a sanitarium at Oxford, Ohio, ’though there is a persistent, rumor he has been at a club house in the south part of the state. Branch wants to resign and there are those who insist he ought to, but a man named Nejdl from Lake county, who has had «considerable experience as a contractor ..and is president of the senate. Vfould get the job and a good man. republicans don't want him to and there is more trouble in the republics camp. People of Indiana, wake up to a serious condition and clean out the state house. It's time. There will be the most complete registration of voters ever in Adams county after today. Os the 1,000 or 1.500 required to register, the greater pg-rt have been taken care of and with the effort today there is nc doubt that the registration will be al most one hundred per cent.

Face to Face With JOHN BURROUGHS The Sage of Sladsides i (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) | "Flowers, trees, birds, Insects and 'i everything that grows outdoors are I I the text-books of my life,” were the j wotds which that high-priest of Nature, the John Burroughs, said as he i balanced a black bettie on the back of his hand, looking at it with a caressing Interest. Just then he turned to catch the note of a bird, singing the old sweet strain —it was a robin. "The robin's song has never changed —one of the sirens which lured me in my life's quest,” be exclaimed, as he stood bareheaded, his white hair flowing in the soft breezes a friend of everything outdoors. The first published article which John Burroughs ever wrote was most appropriately entitled “Express- | ion.” The song of every bird the salu|tation of all Nature was to him the great expression of life. “Even the squirrels in the trees at “Slabsides," he laughingly remarked, "salute me with their tails and talk to me in the language of their little | paws, which suggested Whittier's' quip: "Chip.’ went the squirrel on thr wall: After me 1 heard him call; And the catbird in the tree Did his best to mimic me.’’ It was a great joy for John Buriroughs to go far afield with his I friends. President Harding, Henry iFotd. Thomas Edison and Henry Firestone were his last campmates in Maryland, Well do 1 remember John Bur-

The firelight revealed with glowing emphasis the figure of a I man who never grew old. To the ’crackling accompaniment of the logs ; he told stories of youthful conquests - and mature triumphs. He always believed with his friend John Muir that ,|the way to spend a restful vacation i was: "Go lay your head in Nature’s lap and let her tel] you stories.” This night he seemed unusually I happy, because that day he had found t[a favorite spot at “Blue Pool,” which .he had not looked upon for nearly I three score years, bringing back memories of his birthplace, Roxbury,

Now it's up to the workers top r. see that the vote is cast on election | j- day. Never in history has there been | y a more important election. If you v want to clean out the graft in Washn ington and Indianapolis the way to .

s do it is to clean house. You are to r vote for your own best interests. Be sure you make no mistake. 0 We are told, you mustn't blame . President Coolidge! If unpleasant t things happened, he mustn't be blam- . ed. We are asked to elect the good i man and leave unpunished an ineffi- , cient and guilty party. Are we to have, then, a purely personal governi ment? What inducement is there for a party to behave itself in power, if . no penalty for misbehavior is to be exacted? The Republican party is to be judged by what it has done and left undone. It can’t make u s forget . . its flock of black sheep by exhibiting a blameless shepherd. A party, not a man, is in question. It' the republican party can dodge the punishment of its sins, which are many and ! great, by pleading the merits of Mr. ; Coolidge, government by parties in r the United States, already uncertain, - will receive a heavy blow. To give d the last note of political grotesque- ° ness, the republicans who fought and .1- overrode Mr. Coolidge in congress are ie now clinging to his coat-tails, crying, ie Help us. Calvin, or we sink.” This ■y is the question before the jury: Is

This led him to narrate some of the incidents of his early youth. Even a rock.\moss-covere<l, he greeted as if an old acquaintan > | Here was the nook where he kindled , a fire and boiled eggs for his midday ' lunch; a waterfall where he stood | laughing at the rollicking stream. Further going over the events of j the day, he continued in a reminiscent tone: “You remember that black bass caught at ‘Blue Pool'? Well. I threw that little bass back, for I could not take his lite, when in ( his great eyes there seemd to be an appeal for the liberty of the quiet ] waters." We talked of the stroll homeward, j when the light of day was slowly fad- ( ing. flinging long shadows across the woods and fields.

pear to be almost an avenue to Paradise. “Only Nature can paint these landscapes!" he exclaimed, and what wonder that he preferred them to the a rt of man. As he sat there, in whimscial reflec- ( tion. his mood seemed to die down , with the <oals of fire. Prrsen'ly he t nodded. There was a lull. t “May I have a glass of milk?"
