General business may not bo as good ae wo would like, in fact wo all know it isn't, but we are better off than the average community and we will got better alter the farmers have a good crop and sell it at a profit. Let's push right along. Over in an Ohio village stands a large sign which reads: "When two cars come to a crossing, both shall come to a full stop. Neither shall - start until the other is gone." That should prevent most of the crossing accident*, if obeyed. With claims that the republican party has been taken over by the kian and that the old democratic party has suffered from decadence, you may think you are done with politics but it a our guess that by the time the next campaign rolls around both parties will have been sufficiently Liablized to give a fairly good account of themselves. Titc wig wig device at tho crossings will prevent many accidents for * .it aujrks every day including Sundays and twenty-four hours each day. Wlierc it is in use the people declare it the very best guard against accidents yet put into service. There is no doubt need for some protection and this* looks good enough to try since it is to be done at tho expense of the railroad. With the summer season near, automobile accidents become more numerous and drivers cannot be too care•ful. It's a very good rule to stop your car when you approach a railroad crossing and make sure the road is clear. A dozen people were killed yesterday-and many injured in various auto accidents throughout the middle west. It's perhaps no use to warn you again of those things you know b(jt just the same we should all try to obey traffic rules ami to be careful. Manager Williamson offers five seasotr tickets to the great Decatur fair to the men who secure the most new members to the Decatur lining trial Association and to the Elks | lodge, ei< h of which organization is putting on a drive. And that's fine. It's not the value so much as it is the spirit shown by the fair management. Mr. Williamson is a natural booster and belicvca in helping along every movement Cor the good of the community in which be iti interested. And that's always a good thing. This is commencement we<|, in D<catur. important for the big < laL of young men ami women who will com ptete the first lap in the race of successful life ait-1 enter their career . The program includes nitmerou > events, each of which promises to be e hwppy one for the graduate -, and their friends. Don't lo <• y-oir b-mh I joung folks and don't think you have' the world whipped. That’s a hard old .game and you will realize after a couple of score of years that tho only way to do it is to keep on graduating ex ery day. there are ’ajany ways of getting b'tste? x and there are men who receive large salaries for working out

COVERT - (Continued from Page One) emerpcncy may bring forth while the plane is in the air. "In the book of Daniel in chapter oik* we are told of a severe test which a young man went through. Providenct' was preparing him for an exceedingly important life. He was to direct and sway empires by his counsel. It was fitting therefore that like the aeroplane, on the threshhold of his career that he should receive the greatest test of his life. "Here is a young man suddenly lorn from his home with its stern yet kindly religious atmosphere and transported as a captive into a voluptuous luxurious an ddebauched court 11 e. Conformity moans possible advancement. Refusal may mean death. I Yet with such a situation confront | ing him Daniel purposes to stand by .•.mi: he belh'vos is right. ] "I icry man win makes a success ■ living has a purims which is the . guiding star of his life. "Conversidy the scrap heap of humanity is piled high with those who diift with the tide of popular opinion and fail to stand by any conviction. They have many alibis but scarcely ever blame themselves for their failures. There <ire manji who think they are broad-minded who tire merely shallow minded. They conform to any Iwlief which may be promised. The world heeds more than anything else men of conviction and of purpose. "A purpose really worth while must be positive. Many have nothing lo offer to the world but destructive criticism. The world today cails for the man with the trowel rather than the one. who is an adept with the hammer. A purpose must be real. To be a guiding principle life it must be the warp and woof ol char.actcr. not simply a motto on the wall. A pm pose that brings real success nuist be unselfish in viewpoint. Napoleon had a positive purpose but he brought grief and destruction to his nation and exile to himself, even though he was ingenious and brilliant. 'Lincoln's memory is preserved be- < ause of his unselfish ambitions. The universe eventually wipes out tlje memory of the selfish man. A purpose must be large in its scope. Panl became the greatest Christian of his age because of his purpose of bringing the gospel to the unsaved nation of the world. Jesus lived a great life because bis purpose was to redeem the world.

Wo are in the midst of a groat crime wave. Disrespect to law and authority is seen on every, 'band. The pendulum is swinging back.

'ustr-. or when it fades, turns gray, dull-and lifeless, is caused by a lack >f sulphtr in the hair Our grand mother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark ami beautiful, and thousands of, women and men who value that even •olor. 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 ither 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 tu’ush with it and Iraw this through your hair, taking me small strand at a time. By mornng the gray hair disapears; 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.
