The city of Van Wert is so hard up that they can’t buy signal lights for street intersections according to a decision of the council Monday night. Hard lines, but they might hang up a few lanterns to show cross streets. ♦ * * * Get ready for the best chautauqua ever offered the community. The local organization under President H. W. Thompson are now getting ready for it. The dates are August 31 to September 5, a week of big days. * « * * Storm loss in Decatur over the week-end is estimated at $4,700 and in the county about twice that besides the loss to crops which is difficult to estimate and at that most people are conceding we are fortunate. It could have been much worse. * < * w Willie Meeks, aged twenty-one, Garden City, South Dakota, murdered his girl sweetheart Sunday because she asked him to do so that her family might not be disgraced. He confessed and after dodging a mob yesterday was sentenced to life imprisonment. That’s speed but not a bit too fast, for such a criminal. And its a lot better for the country generally than if the affair had been dragged along for months. * * * * The bankers seem to have succeeded in their plans to head off the bandits; at least there has not been much doing in that line since they offered the rewards and made other plans of defense which showed they were through tossing over greenbacks to tehse knights of the gun and blackjack, but now those who were in the business seem to be turning attention to retail stores. A clothing dealer at Vincennes came down to work Monday morning to find his entire stock had moved out during the week-end and reports of other big burglaries are being published daily. ♦ ♦ * * Great plans are being made over at Decatur for their annual sod fair. It will be held just the week preceding the Bluffton street fair. Adams county has been having some good the last few years, but this year they promisd to outdo all former records. With plenty of good horse racing, W'ells county people will be glad to patronize the Decatur show. —Bluffton Banner. * * * * Good, and we’ll send over just as big a delegation to your street fair the next week and more if we can. Both events are good ones and deserve the patronage they get. ★ * * * Decatur was honored yesterday by the annual visit of Congressman Albert H. Vestal and it is rumored over the district that his purpose in this trip is to size up the postoffice situation which will warm up during the next year. He devoted several hours in going over affairs here with County Chairman Al Graham. Not the least job of a congressman is to iron out these appointments in such a manner that he can continue to have the united support of his party and Mr. Vestal is well enough posted to know that he has something to do here, or will have when the things get warmed up. ★ ★ ★ * In a number of Indiana cities the parking problem has been largely solved by utilizing the sidewalks about the court house square. At Tipton, Connersville and other places where the plan is used, every body is more than pleased. There is no doubt that such a convenience is appreciated by those who trade in or stop at the county seats. In Decatur three sides of the court house yard could be thus arranged and on Court and Madison streets double spaces could be arranged. This with the use of Liberty Way would provide space for several hundred cars, widen Madison street and relieve congestion. It’s an idea worth thinking about any way. Mayor McGeath, of Hartford City, is mad and he is going to make some body just as mad before he gets through with things. Over there they have been having much the same trouble that we have here over people just slowing up at the stop streets, paying no attention the red and green lights and otherwise violating the traffic ordinance. He has ordered the police to secure information along that line and now has twenty affidavits ready and he proposes to bring them into court and if found guilty, assess heavy fines against them. After all thats what the laws ait tor and a few arrests will make every body obey the ordinances and may prevent serious accidents. We offer sincerest congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. William Breiner, of Union township, who yesterday celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary, an event unusual in any community. To a long and happy wedded life is added the remarkable fact that their seven children, fourteen grandchildren and six great grand children are all living to assist them in celebrating, there never having been a death in the family. Th<y rtpresen one of the best families in the country and they have a right to feel proud and happy over their records. The people of this county join us in the wish that they may live to celebrate many more reunions.

by Edgar ■ AT THE F IRST TEE

The first tee is a gladsome spot. The sun of hope is shiniing high. Before the golfer makes his shot He knows his record score is nigh; Though yesterday his game was bad Another round now lies before, His eye is bright, his heart is glad, Today he’ll get an eighty-four. i Away they go. four happy men. One flounders at the very start And loses hope right there and then, To follow with a heavy heart; Hope lingers with the other three. Hut two of them, betrayed by fate See once agai nthe promise flee, The long hole costs them both an eight.

One solitary dub remains Who proudly counts his score card o'er, And finds, by taking care and pains He"l do the nine in forty-four; His drive is bunkered and he takes Four strokes to reach the course again, All hope is lost. The score he makes Is duined by a shameful ten. I The tenth tee rouses hope once more, • For there the second nine begins, There the secund start anew to score, Forgetting all their previous sins But once they’ve left that tee behind The clouds of grief and travail burst, For nowhere can ihe golfers find. The hope that warms them at the first.
