Mulholland, manager of the Northern Indiana Gas and Ele. trie Company has written Mr. Oll.eii. local representative, a letter of thanks for a copy of the “Facts About Decatur," ami suggests several other names to whom they should be sent. The booklet is proving its worth and a step in the right direction. If we don't tell what we have here the world won't know it and so we are going to tell it. The Daily Democrat is your paper and it will be just as good as you .and the reportorial and printing force make it. Then if we pull together it will be that much better. Wo are asking you to renew your subscription >f you take the paper by mail J ami to send us in every item of general interest. You will enjoy the palter that much more and so will every one else. Besides that w< can a'l boost for those things which are of general good including an Old Home Week and a few other events of interest. Renew now iand have your neighbor subscribe and join this <lub of Adams County Boo:;’ers. And now comes "Vitamin X,” a gland fluid taken from the base of i the brain of monkeys and other animals and used as a restorer of life for humans. By that means he predicts that I’fe may be continued indefinitely unless killed by disease. He and other scientists claim that death because of sinility will within a decade or two be unheard of and that people will live twice the age they do now. Even then its likely the first hundred years will be the . worst, so whyworry? When we have to get our "hundred pounds of si tn” , and thats aobut what it takes these ■ days to make a living, from a monkey, we hope some one knocks us off. The splendid spirit of the land owners from this city to the Allen county line and the speedy work of the committee in charge of securing the easements which grant the privilege to the state highway commission to proceed with their work of improvement over a fifty-foot ilghl-of-way is the best proof that we live ■ in a 1925 community where we do right things when given the opportun'ty. Tb.e signatures were S'mured in less than a day of actual canvassing and with this start we hope to secure improvement of roads each way through this county, a total distance of about fifty miles. We want our community to not only equal others but to excel them and there is no reason why it shouldn’t. ('. Bascom Sletnp is to slip old. of the White House where he has served a year as President Coolidge's secretary and Evert Sanders of “Terry Hut, Indiana,” Is to slide into the place. The truth is, according to reports of a semi-inside nature that the President has never been crazy about Sletnp and his slick methods of doing things but wa > prevailed upon to stand him for a ear while plans for the election were being mails. Os course Slump timi'ghl that if he was lucky iml Mr. Coolidge won out, lie would be given the n -.nal place in the cabinet but the president evidently didn't cure to take that kind of a chance with his adminb lraHen and so the change comes. Mr. i' jders has always been a favorite

A new safely device lias been intailed at a dangerous railroad crossing near San Francisco, near a; ‘■blind cure.” Instead of the usual ' warning sign to drivers, there is' merely a mirror set up lijte a mod-erate-sized billboard, at. an angle of; about 45 degrees to the track. The! motorist approaching sees a coining I train reflected in the mirror. It is a wonder that lids device has not been thought of sooner, especially since the mirror is almost universally used on automobiles to show what is going on behind them or on their dangerous side. The warning ] mirror might bo used to good advantage net only on every similar! railroad crossing but at any crossroads where, for any reason, an approaching motorist can not sec traffic on the other road until he starts across. It might be used in cities, too, at bad intersections.-Evansville Journal. Ono good road requires another, and. so the road-building habit in tit's country is growing apace and a network of fine highways is slowly being spread through the states? Very few states, counties or other sttlidivisions ever regret their investment in good roads. They have found so in iny benefits uccuring from even a short strip of pavement or hard road that they arc moved always Jq f irlljor .endcpvo.r.

Dentists, in money make an awful dint; Clothiers leave but little except the lint, Shoemakers strip up to our very soles; Well-drillers in our pockets dig big holes; The gasoline man scents our last red cent. And often disappoints that robber rent; Light bills all lie, — they never have been light! , Garages grab and hot dogs deeply bite; Tlie laundry sees to it our purse is clean, While tire prices fairly turn us green. The preacher, dven, thinks he needs more pay, And hens demand a costly mash to lay!
