Not that the hard-earned dollar in itself has depreciated any in value, but because so many look upon it with contempt. The best development of America was made with hard-earned dollars. The periods of history that do most credit to the United States as a nation are the periods when the most hard-earned dollars were in circulation. Contempt for hard-earned dollars has overloaded the official pay rolls of America and piled mountain-high, tax burdens. Contempt for hard-earned dollars has Ipd the young manhood of America away from the farm; it is the same contempt that leads men of ordinary good intentions to form combinations for the taking advantage of the public. Contempt for the hard-earned dollar produces the grafter, the hold-up man and the bandit. Men and women want dollars faster than the hard-earned way will furnish them and they resort to any means that will procure them faster than the legitimate way. The only safe dollar —the only dollar that guarantees peace of mind and self-respect is the dollar that is earned—the dollar for which value is given. This is the purpose of the dollar and he who diverts it from its legitimate channel does so to his eternal sorrow. After all is said and done the man who still earns his breac in the sweat of his face has much to be thankful for. The mer who do an honest day’s toil, whether on the farm, in the shops, on the railroad or in construction work, has the satisfaction of knowing at the close of each day that he has added to the material wealth as well as to the comfort of the world he lives in. The young woman who gets the pay envelope at the end of the week that compensates her for services rendered, gets more real joy out of life than the girl that leads an aimless life on dad’s dollars. The hard-earned dollar gives a man a softer pillow, an easier mind and a better appetite than the dollars secured by methods that will not bear scrutinizing. If we could but get men and women to see the sound value of the hard-earned dollar we would, not have so many sade pictures of young men rushing headlong into federal and state prisons, and old men hobbling toward the grave. Dollars are good; they are intended to buy joy and happiness; they only can when earned.—Frankfort News. ★ A ★ * Seven people were killed in automobile crashes in Indiana during the twenty-four hours ending last evening. That’s rather above the average but not much. It is perhaps useless to warn drivers of cars that they cannot be too careful, but they can very easily be too careless. It may not be exactly your lault but its best to remember before its too late that a part of your duty to yourself and to those in your car is too drive so carefully that you can watch the other fellow. He may be a fool or a wild, reckless driver, he may be violating the Volstead act or a lot of other laws but if he crashes into your car and causes a lot of damage, it don’t help much to blame him. The Miller bakery has purchased a site on north Second street and will erect a modern building for their own use. T hat s progress and its just what Decatur needs —a few more buildings and a number of residences. With these improvements we will grow and continue to march forward. We commend this enterprising firm and we congratulate them on their continued growth in business, because of their square-dealing and efforts to serve. Several other improvements are being considered and the probabilities are that Decatur will enjoy quite a building period during the next year or two. Let ’er come 1 The postoffice department is forty millions short of meeting expenses, and that after an increase in postage rates that have made a lot of people, particularly the newspaper publishers, fairly groan. Os course they say its because they had to increase the salaries of employes but did it ever occur to you that there are a lot of other ways in which money is spent by these governmen departments and that by a little use of the same economic treatment necessary in every private line of business these day’s we might get through without a shortage and at the same time the men who earn it get salaries on which they cou < ive. Mr. Stephenson is still in jail but his lawyers are devoting a lot of time and energy for “dog” days to efforts to ket h.m out where he can impose his filthy breath on decent people agaim They plan now to ask a habeas corpus writ from the supreme court.

THE HO ME MARKER

I have come down the way and little learned Save that mankind at heart is much the same. Seeking forever wealth or place or fame, Yet from the path by strange mischances turned A mood, a whim, a love perhaps that's spurned And he who had been good is red with shame. Hate, anger, malice fan a spark to flame And suddenly a life lies charred and burned

And what was virtue wears a baser name. They who are wisest guard themselves with care, And set a vigil on the home they keep. Plant love and laughter and contentment there, And let no storm of rage its rafters sweep, Courage they have to keep its window fair. Holding it safe, ere in the dark they leap.
