There are a lot of things we don’t understand and among them is just how’ the price of gasoline is fixed by the big bosses. The MacMillan party have found the coldest weather ever known at the north pole region for this time of year which should remind you again of tha prediction that next winter is to be <a severe one and that you will need good fuel and plenty of it. XI. -i-1 !-i—-23 We were a little mixed up yesterday on dates on Chautauqua and the Elks Festival but we are sure you all kaow by this time that the Fun Festival is next week and that's what the big tent is tip for now on Liberty Way. Chaukiuqua comes the following wefk. Next week is the Elk's Fuu Festival. The tent is now up, the program is complete, the boys have planned long to make the event a success and you will enjoy attending this free event. The proceeds will go towards Improving the new home, a worthy cause. A bandit attempted to stage a holdup in a Hammond cloak store and was getting »way with it when a saleswoman notice him, grabbed an alarm clock and hurled it with good aim. He rushed from the store with blood streaming down his face and the police easily nabbed him. An S. O. S. will no doubt be broadcasted warning the hold up men to steer clear of institutions where women are on the job. The Fort Wayne council has reaoluted that those who keep degs in that city' must have the “bark" extracted. The new ordinance docs not prohibit the keeping of dogs but makes it a nuisance, punishable by a fine of. fifty dollars, to permit the dog to bark and disturb the neighbors. That's a new one but it may work in that city. About the only way to keep a pup from barking is Io feed him ar-t-ecic or tie a rope tightly about his neck. " — | The Decatur Democrat put out quite « fine edition yesterday in honor of the fifitieth anniversary of the Knights of Pythias Lodge of that city. More than a, thousand visitors were: present. Senator Watson made a speech, and a general good time wan' enjoyed by all. The Democrat’s edi- r tioq was filled with reminiscences of the order, and of those who have been prominent in the lodge in that city. Three charter members are still living.—A. R.

THE LAUGHTER OF A CHILD

Thc laughter of a little child! What tinkling water fall or stream Or little silver bells agleam. Or moonlight softly rustMng down On Lady Evening’s silken kown Or even angels meek and mild Singing their gentle hymns of praise Can chaim us in so many ways. In childish laughter, one can hear Delight and rapture for mankind Than all things else the world can find. ‘Tis sunlight for the tragic blind. And to the troubled, peace of mind; i’be waves which ripple into shore, Have no such charm our lives to bless As does a sma’l child's happiness.

In childish laughter, onct can hear The strains of music sweeter far Than harp or zither or guitar. A chord beyond the i<owor of man To catch within the pipes of Pan A sound so musical and clear That sometimes tears of joy will start * So softly does it touch the heart. Oh. those who've watched by night and prayed "Beside a baby's bed of pain, Waiting to see her smile again; Watching for signs that fever'4 tide Had run its course and would sub side, Will tell you there's no music made, Ry which the heart is reconciled So sweet as laughter of a child.

Reduction is Made Possible by Constantly Increasing Production Announcement of a reduction in the prices of Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicles, both passenger and commercial. effective Monday, August 17th. has been received by T J. Durkin, local dealer. New list prices, f. o. b. Detroit, are as follows: Standard Types Touring - * 57u A-Sedan U 9 B-Sedan - 1045 Coupe o*o Coach - 1035 Screen Commercial 085 Panel Commercial 960 Special Types Touring 5 975 A-Sedan • 12S0 B-Sedan 1145 Coupe 1060 Coach H 35 The price of the Roadster, 1855. and that of the Chassis, 1730, remain unchanged. "These new prices come at a time when Dodge Brothers product has reached the highest peak of mechan!cal perfection in its history.” declares Mr. Durkin. "In an attempt to supply public demand, factory production has been stepped up since he first of this year from 990 cars a ■lay to the present rate of over 1.100 and now Dodge Brothers are pushing as rapidly as possible an eight million dollar expansion program to give them buildings and machinery for a production of 1,500 cars a day. "This price cut is just the application of Dodge Brothers policy of faithfully returning to the buyer the saving made possible by increased production. Since the first of this year production has been steadily increased month after month. The first six months of 1925 were the largest in the factory's history—more than 11 per cent greater than the first six months of 1924. The problem for Dodge Brothers executives has been not to find a market for their pro- ■ duel, but to increase production to i supply a ready market. "The constantly increasing, yet never satisfied, demand for Dodge Brothers Motors Cars is convincing evidence that a motor wise public is more and more appreciative of the greater value made possible by Dodge Brothers sound policy of constantly improving a basic design instead of bringing out a new model every I year."
