Dressing lip one's best is not a sign of snobbishness. It is a fine evidence of self-respect. The man who takes pride in his personal appearance is merely giving expression to his desire to be his best. There is great moral value in dressing up. The man who comes home from work, shaves, cleans up and puts on his best clothes, will go out on the street with his head a little higher, his eye a little clearer and his heart a little nobler. Clothes do not make «Mnan but they do give some indication of the respect in which he holds himself. The man who is willing to appear in a crowd of his fellows, dressed untidily when they are dressed up in their best, shows that he is lacking in a line sense of self-respect. No matter how cordially the dowd may bo treated, il will not change his altitude toward himself. Many a doiot and outer has been started on ‘the road bark” by being dressed in a new clean suit. Me lias been given Ihe outward evidences of self respect and feels the old impulses and ambitions stirrfng again within him. There is much salvation in being "dresspd up." Sunday is not a day for letting down but one for toning up. The man who spend.: Sunday in a •rar-t-off suit, rummaging through the basement, painting serpens or tinker mg with the old bus find:, that the day shows a deficit. He who turns the key in his desk on Saturday night, arises on Sunday and dresses his best, thinks great thoughts, cleans out his mind am gives his soil an airing, has been profited by dressing up. THt SCOPES TRIAL: — The "monkey” trial at Dayton, Tennessee, is now furnishing the headlines for big and little newspapers. Every body is arguing the rase and along with it the Bible, evolution nnd other subjects always of interest The Tennessee legislature passed a law last spring which reads as follows: rt H .shall be unlawful for any teacher in any of the universities, norinala, and all other public schools of the slate which are supported in whole or in part by the public school funds to leach any theory that denies the story of the divine creation of man as taught in the Bible and to teach instexd (hat man has descended from a lower order of animals.” Governor Peay signed the bill, which provides a fine lor violation of from SIUO to SSOO, last March and discussing the law one evening in a Dayton grocery, John T. Scopes, a teacher, pointed out that one of the textbooks used in school and adopted (iy tile hoard of education, taught evolution as a part of the subject of biology. It was decided to test the case and the next day Scopes explained the lesson in school and was arrested. The little mountain town

A half dozen sales are on In the Decatur stores. It has been proven time and again that this is the best trade drawer a community can have. There is strength in the fact that several of the stores are advertising sales lor they thus attract buyers :md every merchant does a good business. As we have often said, it pays a city to keep alive and in busy towns Rnd cities the merchants go out after business through the method of newspaper advertising. Those who sit back contentedly, afraid to make the effort, usually watch their competitors step out ahead. We ought to all boost, individually and collectively. Tt keeps us going and makes us ail forget the weather and other things which we % might complain about. The price of hogs reached $15.00 per 100 pounds on the Indianapolis market this week, highest price ever known in this country during peace times and indications are that prices will continue high for a while. How »ver it is also officially announced Imt the indications at this time are hat the corn crop this year will be the second or third largest evei known in America and usually a big ■ora crop lowers the price of hogs. And these are facts which every business farmer will carefully consider far .in advance. The present heat wave has extended to every part, of the country now and indications lor a breath of relief are distant. Out in the Dakotas today the thermometor registered as high as 105 in tin; shade. If you know of a coo! spot you lietter not tell it unless you want it overcrowded. We don’t mind the hot days half 4s much as we do the nights when one wakes up in an hour and imagines he had fallen to sleep iu a Turkish bath room. } Big Features Os | RADIO | Programs Today Saturday’s Five Best Radio Features WJZ, New York, 454; WRC, Wash ingtou, 469; WGY.

July U. - <L T °*'<' d Press)—The coal industry in southern Illinois is iu bad straits— despite any action of wage conferences—according to producers of this region. Non-union mining centers in the south are blamed for the present slump in the industry here. The producers claim the non-union fields can supply coal at'a cheaper cost than can be supplied on the union scale. Two of the big companies operating near here report heavy mortgages on their properties in this section as evidence of the "tough days.” The Cosgrove Meehan Coal company reports a mortgage of $2,500,000 on its property here. The Sincerity Coal company reports its property is mortgaged to the extent of $150,000. Very few- mines in this district are working now, the producers report. They say the outlook isn't any too bright and report that money is
