Have you made a trip around the court house on Third street yet to see the new spot light planned by the Boy Scouts? its worth look ng at for it attracts attention at night to the beautiful monument .and it.- just such things as these which make a community more attractive. When we drive our automobiles at a rate of fifty miles an hour and something happens, it is usually disastrous We are going a rather rapid pace these days and we are paying dearly for t. Don’t you think its time to le* up a little and get back to ( sane living and driving and thinking? If they have been getting all the rains predicted in the north and west part of the state the past few days, they must be enjoying an old fashioned flood. Suppose the forecasts sent the papers ifi those sections announce lain for the east part of the slate. We confe. we have lost taith in the weather bureau. Wish we~had a job running a summer resort in some beautiful place whefe the breezes blow and the fish look like they do in the pictures of those in pamphlets sent out about this time of year by the railroads, for some how we feel the next few months are to he over average for high temperature in this neck of the woods.

A little v crk. a few flowers, a bench or t vo and some gravel paths would make it atractive and add to the appe tram e of those who enter the city over that approach. While many crops do not prosper during dry weather, the average weed does and you will probably discover that when the rains do come, the weed patch will surprise you for they will blossom forth and kill off abr ut every thing ehie unless they arc fought. Don't let them get the best of you for there is nothing which so mars the beauty of your property aud of the community. Keep the weeds cut down, pul! them out if you can, but get rid of them one way or another. With the old thermometer showing \ from ninety to a hundred during the greater part of the day, most any one should be excused'for getting a little out of fix but that fellow over at Hamilton who killed eight rela-

We notice too, that the popular defense in several murders in Chicago the past few days has been the hot weather. Rats, its mostly just pure, old fashioned cussedness. Os course all church members are not successful in life but the young men and'women who have just graduated and who are now about to enter various lines of bus ness might remember to their advantage that about all successful men and women are church members and most of them wot k at it. .to some extent at least. To succeed you must live clean, be honest, give a square deal, service and be industrious, all of which and many other excellent rules are taught in the churches. The Bible schoo now in progress in this city as well as in many others is a m'ghty fine thing, for there is no doubt that 1 education along religious lines have been sadly neglected. The supreme court has just made t a ruling that the president of the ' United States does not need to pay t any income taxes on his salary, thus j saving Mr. Coolidge about SB,OOO a i year. Os course we won't dispute 3 .that great body as to the legal de- . cis on but it seems funny to the i- ordinary country business man, fannI I er or laborer that a man making $75.j 000 per year, with expenses taken 5 care of and an additional $25,000 per pl l annum for traveling, can escape the y burdens of taxes while the rest of a us must pay on meager incomes.

hing seem all wrong. Ernie Williamson, the manager and secretary of the Great Northern ipditna Fa’r to he held here the wbelt of September 15th, is here for a few days, planning many details and arranging for advertising the Ing event in the proper manner. He will have many surprises for you between now and the Week of the fair and more of them for that week. We feel ihat the proper thing to do is to hack him up and to make it the great big fair of this ent re section. By the way, there are two more fairs in the state this year than last, showing hat the county fair is about to come nto its own. Mr. Williamson has had t lot of experience and knows just iow to pul on a gfeat fair. Every lepartment will please you and you ire standing on your own foot if you on't g»t some benefits and some pleasures from the great Decatur fa r in 1925. It is to be a fair for the vhole county and efforts to interest ‘very corner will be made, which is he right thing to do. o 7 ißig Features Ot } RADIO Programs Today f FRIDAYS' RADIO FEATURES WCO, Philadelphia: WJZ.

T , Buildinc| Lightning Rods Urged for Tree Protection Trees with wide-spreading root systems or with roots that reach deep into moist soil nre relatively good electrical conductors and, generally speaking, are i in most danger of being struck by | lightning, says the weather bureau of 1 the United States Departmeht of Agriculture. The rodding of valuable trees to protect against lightning 13 therefore strongly recommended. No tree is immune; but among trees of the same kind the one standing well above its neighbors Is in most danger, even in a dense forest. This may be due to the greater height of the tree or the kind of ground it stands on. Trees growing in the open are in more danger than those In a thick stand of timber, as are also those growing along an avenue or border of woods. Those , growing In moist soil along the banks of a stream or lake are better conductors for lightning than those growing In drfrr soil. Sound trees in general are less likely to be damaged than those with rotten wood. Trees growing in loam and sandy soils are struck more frequently than ] those in clay, marl and calcareous , soils. Oaks often grow to great height and mostly in loam and sandy soils, ( Moreover, they are a good example of , a starchy tree, which Is a better conductor of electricity than an oily tree 1 like the beech. The oak also is a tap- ’ i rooted tree, with Its root system extending deep Into the soil, which con- J ' stitutes another factbr of danger from i lightning for it. Studies in various , localities, particularly In western Eu- j rope, have shown conclusively that the oak is struck much more often than other kinds of trees. Elm, ash, poplar and gum trees are ' also very susceptible to lightning damage, while those least attractive to i lightning are the chestnut, wirilo, . | alder, and mountain ash, according to I the bureau. ] Garden Wall Should Resemble ',’ic House It is usually best to have a garden wall of tlie same material as the house, whether it is of stone, stucco or brick, i For the frame house, the wall may appropriately be of cobbles, a delicate | lattice, a paneled "board” fence turmounted by lattice, a picket fence or a hedge. There are of necessity several gates. Where the wall is masonry, a hooded gateway is quaint and attractive. In the hedge nothing could be more plea sing than a trellised arch with a painted gate made of porch balusters. The design of wooden gateways is limited only by the ingenuity and Imagination of the home owner. The rule for a wood pergola is to set the columns as far apart both ways as they are high. The usual wood for exterior woodwork is white pine, as It is very weather-resistant. The fact that garden woodwork must he properly painted and kept so need hardly be emphasized. That paint protection is necessary for the mere preservation of these articles constantly “xposed to the weather is well demonstrated by the ordinary unpainted telegraph pole,! which is a sight familiar to us all. White will always be the favored color for outdoor woodwork, though green and brown are appropriate, and have greater durability. Knocker Never Popular The knocker may have his place* In the scheme of things,' We are will-) Ing to admit that he has. The knocker does some good. In that he points out the weak places in his victim’s armor and the victim thus is in a position to make amends. But the long funeral Igoeessions are never lined up behind the dead knocker. People who think I kindly and speak kindly of their fellows. who have a sympathy for the shortcomings of others and.-who try to help rather than to knock further down those who may make a mistake, are those who draw men to themselves and who will be missed and mourned when they are gon^—Exchange. „ Betterment Called For It may be predicted that the time will come when there will be a lively emulation for betterment among villages of this country, especially in the West. The pioneer days are over. The time is past when any habitable place was acceptable as a home, when the Impulse was to regard a home merely as a temporary abode. The country hss become stabilized. Villages and towns have taken on permanency, and with it they should develop and define distinctive characteristics. Efforts in this direction can be made to pay. They make for better values in property and In happiness. Urges Railway Cleanup Holding that the unkempt appear ance of railroad rights of way in American cities makes an unfavorable impression on al! persons entering . them or passing through, the National Association of Real Estate Boards, at its annual meeting at Dallas, Texas, recommended to all member boards ‘ that they appoint strong and active ’ committees to work In co-operation J with railroads and industries and with civic bodies to the end that the raill road rights of way shall be converted into attractive city entrances.
