Tomorrow is Sunday and an hour or two at church service will benefit you and your community. Vacations are about over and its time to turn attention to this most important duty. An Ohio mayor discovered that fin ing auto speeders ten dollars didn't cure the evil so he is now ordering their cars locked by the police for fifteen to thirty days and claims it , has met the situation and that they are no longer troubled by this form ( of iaw violation.

The Fort Wayne News, for many years considered one of the leadine newspapers in the state for the advocacy of the dry laws has turned around suddenly and is now attack ing the Volstead act and the eighteenth amendment along with the Wright law in Indiana on the ground; that enforcement costs millions and does not enforce. Why this startling decision over a matter that has been discussed many years? Is it politics or the desire for a bottle of al< brought on by the suns of dog days? "Some advertising does not pay the merchant because the advertising does not pay the publisher,” says the edi torial in the Poteau (Okla.) LeFlore County Sun. "In trying to get a cheap rate with a column or two of free notices thrown in. can you expect a well-edited, newsy, well-printed am! attractive vehicle for carrying youi message? The news items and the circulation of a newspaper are to the neyspaper just what the delivery service is to the grocery store—an ex pense.” Chautauqua is near and those sup porting the week of high class entertainment are anxious that it lie made the best of itg kind ever held here. As in all community events the real success depends largely on us folks who live here mid who Believe that it pays to do things. The interest manifested here moans much this year and more for the future. If you have

subscribed for tickets, take them and if you haven’t done so, buy them now. Don’t make a few people carry the responsibility of these events for all of us. MacMillan, famous explorer, now four thousand miles up in the great north country talked to the Associated Press in Chicago the other day byradio and answered questions sent to him by the same method. As he flys by airplane towards the north pole he will send messages back to us as we sit around our comfortable firesides. With this progress during a very few years will it surprise you much to hear one of these days of a message coming from some other planet? It is no longer beyond possibility and the greatest scientists 1 V anticipate that very thing, i&t! 1 rful an u niay Geem t 0 you ’ '* * Collected .

Its not so much the number of dollars as it is what those dollars will purchase and the indications now are that times are improving for the farmer who engages in the production of certain things. An Ohio congressman announces that he will introduce a bill during the next session of congress for the abolition of the hip pocket. ' The hip pocket in men's trousers has been such a serviceable institution from a time so far in the dim past that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, that this congressman need not expect easy sailing for his measure. This attempt to regulate the breeches we wVar is still a little clouded, it is not stated as to whether it is a measure intended to make prohibition enforcement easier, or whether it is to reduce the number of daily killings by the elimination of this time-honored receptacle for the pistol. Hut we can plainly see that

he loyal defenders of the hip pocket will have to organize and send a lobby to Washington to open up headquarters among the hundreds of others for the directing of federal legislation.— Frankfort Evening News. o :— »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦« ♦ 4 ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ — 4 4 From the Daily Democrat file 4 ► Twenty years ago this day 4 > « Aug.

REPPERT AUCTION SCHOOL NOTES By R. E. Fortna Student Correspondent. The Rev. H. W Thompson, pastor of the First Christian church visited the auction class in Bellmont Park Friday afternoon. In beha f of the De catur churches he gave the class a most cordial welcome to visit the churches while in the city and, judging from the hearty response with which his welcome was received, the church folks can look forward to the opportunity to greet -every one of the thirty-four strangers. The boys enjoyed a workout Friday afternoon with some real live dairy cattle. Murphy Bros., who have a good bunch of cattle, offered to let the boys put on a mock sale to try out their ability as cattle salesmen and also to test their judgement in values by the

manner in which they bid. Col- Roy.S. Johnson concluded that part of the i session by selling one cow in whirl- i wind fashion aqd threw in some good | hot arguments to make the cow bring the high dollar. It is an acomplishment, we are told and we believe it, to be able to tell a good story at the beginnig of or during an auction. To cultivate this feature the students were each called upon to tell a funny story before the class. Right in lifie with the admonition from the instructors to would-be auctioneers to practice clean living. 5 thinking and talking we were requested to tel! good, clean, funny stories an I the boys obeyed to the letter.

The instructors reserved the 1 right, however, to refuse to answef my silly questions, such as; Why does a chicken cross the road?. The first student auction will lie held on the public square Saturday, at 2:30 o'clock, and another in the evening at 7:30. This will be the rtrst attempt at actual public work in which the students will conduct the entire sale and collect the money.

LARGE SEINES SEIZED Game Wardens Surprise Members Os Fish Fry On Bsnks Os White River And Find Two Illegal Seines Indianapolis, Aug., B—Two of the largest seined taken by state tish and game wardens in many months were captured when the wardens discovered a fish fry in progress on the banks of White River near Paragos. More than two dozen men were gathered on the banks of the river cooking of fish that would have taken many hours to catch with hooks and lines.

Fe w of the feasting fishermen had licenses. Those who did not claimed the others caught the fish. Search revealed two seines, still wet from recent immersion in the river. One of the seines was on? hundred and fifty feet long ami twelve feet deep. The other seine was one hundred feet long and eight feet deep. None of the men would admit using the seines but finally Frank Hassher said he owned them. He was fined for illegal possession of seines.

During the nine months ending July 1. 1.431 arrests were made and 1,323 convictions obtained. The arrests were for a number of different violations of the game laws, the largest number on a single charge being 51 for the possession of seines. o- — ALLEN WAGGONER DIES Former Resident Os Berne Succumbs To Lingering Illness Os Dropsy And Paralysis Thursday.

It is during that discussion that Evans makes the statement that he condsiders Tyrus Cobh “the Georgia Peach," the greatest ballpjlayer of all time Says Evans on that point: “I have often been asked who is the greatest basebail player I have ever seen in action. I could name perhaps a score of players who might be rated superathietes, each one having some outstanding feature that made him great. However, taking all phases of the game into consideration, Ty Cobb is unquestionably the greatest player of all time, in my opinion.
