* I—l What did you mean, "Keep coo with, Coolidge?” We will never be lieve another campaign slogan. Ami there's four inches of snow a * Great Kails, Montana. Sure, am there's several feet at the north pole but what good does that do us? Ed Fogarty is out as warden of the Michigan City prison and some one suggests that perhaps the governor is getting ready to let his friend Stephenson in. The grave question therefore becomes: At what door? Even the golfer/ admit that its hot weather and those who now exert themselves to make the trip to a country club seem content to s p lemonade in the coolest and shadiest spot rather than try to pound out a score of eighty. The people of Decatur used 300.000 gallons more water yesterday than the day before and the big reservoirs were reduced eight feet. Its tine to have all the water you need and it would be a terrible disaster to have a famine of that necessary commodity. Don't be foolish. We have • a splendid water system and supply but we warn you not to waste any of it. It may be some time before the demands lets up. 1 JL-x. - " We arc born, we live, we die. Its just a flash and did you ever stop to think that the first and last are some what unimportant? Its the middle one wh : Ch counts. How do you live? We have no control over how or where we are born and but little over when or how we die, but we are the boss of our own career and we are responsible for it. These are good thoughts to keep in mind for it helps you live under the greate ' policy, the Golden Rule, Seriously, if it don't rain pretty soon, the moisture won’t do much good, other than to cool us off and nfake us more comfortable. Each div now. old Sol is breaking heat r-, ords. 150 people have ded from the wave, crops are standing still or drying up. the hot winds are burning out the corn, oats, wheat and hay nd its getting hard to smile, but all jou ran do is fight on the best you can and remember that things usually come out pretty good in this part of the world. he speed limit under the state law 1 now fifteen miles an hour in the business district of a town or city. 2 > miles an hour in the residence district and thirty miles on the country r ead. In many places the city councils have fixed lower limits but it is doubtful If they can be enforced and so in most places the local regulations are being fixed to comply with the state laws. Under the old rule, in Kimy cases it was impossible'to obey the law' and few if any did so bawt which cannot be enforced are no worth much. The new speed scheduh seems more possible and should b< strictly adhered to. Ernie Williamson is smiling all ove his mug today because of the spier did reception given him by the peopl of Decatur. He sold twenty-six space m the big exhibit tent in sae day air

11 n that tent contains 20,000 square foot of space. Today he practically cleaned it up and he declares this is always a sure runner for a big success in the fair line. The tent will be occupied by dealers in motor cars and by business exhibits such as ■hardware firms and accessory dealers. There will be others on the ■ground and there will be so many features that you will have to attend all week to see it all. The fair is going over big. Better get in and do your part to make it and secure your share of the advantages to be gained by a real agricultural exhibit.

The annual cry for a swimming I ** pool is on and today we were beseiged with appeals to start something that would result in some kind of a bathing beach. Each year for the ? past several years we have tried to do this and have always met a hearty I response but it fails to materialize. ! About the time the thing gets start-. ed. along comes a cool breeze and immediately we forget the demands for a bathing pool. We have no way of providing such a luxury, much as we favor it but If some will start it. , we promise all the support we can give such an improvement. Geneva. Berne, Bluffton and about every town we know of, big or little has a swimming pool of some kind. It does look like there ought (o be a way to meet the demand here. And it sure would help on days like these. The supreme court has decided that Walter Hughes who has served as auditor of Blackford county for , two and half years is not the auditor ju alk but a woman, Ruth Werber is entitled to the salary and the job for the rest of the term. The election was close and a contest resulted in Hughes being declared the winner by five votes. The case was appealed and-the supreme court, no doubt using the Willoughby l Denton case as a pre cedent has decided that Hughes being :i democrat, is not entitled to the office. no difference what the will of the people as expressed by the ballot. And they wonder why we lose confidence in our courts. Deuton was elected by a thousand but the courts ruled that Willoughby should have the job because he had it. Now they rule Hughes must get out because he is in. And thats law. And we stand for it. o ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦• • ♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ — ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat file ♦ ♦ Twenty years ago this day ♦ ♦ + * + «* + *** + ♦♦♦« Wedding of Mtas Lucile Bryson to J.

X" If wealth and fame and power and place Were vital things to hold and gain You’d never see a smiling face Where wants are few and tastes are plain. But fortunately love can bless The humble heart with happiness. Love searches for the brave and true, With gentle ways loviKjourneys far, It little cares what we can do, But blesses us for what we are; And he whose gifts of skill are -spare Os love we may win the greater share.

I numerous this spring and the state ■ officials are determined to abolish 'this very unsportsmanlike practice as I it cuts inroads into the aquatic life of the state's public waters. The fact that black bass and other species' of game fish are nesting in the streams is leading some to spear and net them. Wardens are instruct'ed to carefully watch for this form of I violation, and also not to overlook | the fellow who in pretending to fish for roek bass and crappie, takes a fine bass during the closed season. , The open season on bass fishing : starts June 16. I 0 , Portland Lineman Is Almost Electrocuted Potrland, Indiana, June 6. —James Fleming, son of Mayor T. H. Fleming i and employed as city lineman, had a narrow escape from death Wednesday afternoon, when 2.300 volts of electricity passed through his body, | as a result of his arm coming in contact with a high voltage electric line. |on South Meridian street. Young Fleming was working on a city line (at the top of a pole, while Carl Gillum and Ralph Huey, two other linemen. were standing on the ground below* him. In some manner Fleming backed into the h.gh voltage line, the back part of his right arm striking the wire. The current passed through his arm and came out the right leg .leaving two badly burned places on the arm and leg. 1 The linemen on the ground were 'attracted by a shower of sparks from 1 the wire, caused when Fleming’s arm touched the wire. Gillum started up | the pole after him, bnt by the time he reached him. Fleming had freed , himself from the wire, and his safety i belt prevented him from falling, as

" he was rendered unconecioua by the current. He wao con lined to hia home Thursday, although his coadltlon was re- . ported some better anfl it Is believed , he will recover nicely. i - For Fashion Show For Convention c.

Prepare Now For The Future Be assured of comfort and plenty when your earning capacity is limited by feeble steps and dimming eyesight. The young couple or the young man or woman who save part of each week's earnings are building securely against wants and worry in their declining years. s Sacrifice the small pleasures of youth and practice saving now.
