Before starting out on your Sunday lour plant to spend an hour or so at church. Sunday is one day of the week when we should all gather at church and thank Him for the many blessings bestowed during the week and ask Him for guidance during the coming week. 1 **’ ■ ( Avon Burk, president of the De-( eatur Industrial association has sent out invitations inviting Decatur business men and members of the localassociation to join a tour of the county next Monday. It is proposed to visit the boys and girls who are members of the Junior farm clubs and no doubt those who join in the tour will learn much about farming and how the boys and girls are getting along in their work. Plan to join the crowd. A local citizen and community booster writing in the Peoples Voice column in ths paper expresses apprecation for the civic improvements, the swimming pool, public comfort station and better lawns programs being carried out this year. He also makes a few recommendations and suggestions as to what can be done this year and next and such discussions and suggestions of projects of a city nature and community welfare buldng program are bound to bring about real accomplishments. 'w ~ Now Indiana is coming into the litnelight. Dayton, Tenn., has had the front pages for several weeks and yesterday word came “from Indianapolis that a township trustee in Perry county had dismissed a school teacher for teaching evolution from a textbook approved by the state department. It seems that there is no law preventing the teaching of this theory in Indiana, but that the township trustees have autocratic powers in deciding whether or not ft shall be taught. Well, who's next. The Adams County commissioners, by virtue of the new- law Vested in them, Save adopted new rules and regulations pertaining to the hauling of heavy loads over the improved highways of Adams county. A copy of these rules is printed in tonight's Daily Democrat and those who have occasion to use the roads in wet or thawing weather or who drive any kind of a truck over them are urged to read them. It is important that, ■we try to protect the TOO miles of Improved roads in this county as much us possible and the co-opeartiou of feveryonc is asked. The Findlay, Ohio, men who are sponsoring the movement to establish the William Penn transcontinental highway form Atlantic (fits Philadellphia and then across the country to San Francisco, wish to obtain the endorsement of the county commissioners and chamber of commerces in file various cities located along the

The organization Is not asking a cent of money. All the Findlay men want is the cooperation and assistance of local men in having the proposed route established, providing it meets with local approval. The Findlay men are leading citizens in their community, all are engaged in business and their only desire in sponsoring the proposed route is to be of some service to their city, state und nation. If the proposed road receives the approval from the Indiana, cities and then from the state highway commission it is likely that the road will be adopted by the national body. It is planned to work In cooperation with the state highway edmmission and through the state bodies secure the improvement of a transcontinental highway. Good roads are of much importance to a community and the William Penn road is something worthy of our consideration.

This is the thing called manhood, as I see It, Giving when gifts not easy are to make; Meeting the test when weaklings turn and flee it, » Standing for truth when craven spirits break. He Is not manly who defrauds another, He is not manly who betrays his friends. Not all the world's ill-gotten wealth can smother The stain of one who cheated for an end. *. Honor must shine triumphant o'er his winning, Women must meet and fiiiH him clean and true; In manhod's shrine there is no place for sinning. No secret hour for deeds which cowards do.

A good man holds the game above its Prizes, His life above the pleasures he may seize; He will not stoop to traits which he despises And sell his self-respect for victories. Honor’and truth he blends with gentle kindness, Censnre of others seldom will he speak Selfishness has not cursed him with its blindness. Strong though he is he never barms the weak. Manhood is not in conquest or in glory. Though both nitty come, a good man moves along And lets his friends and neighbors tell his story As one, they found, too big to do a wrong.
