There are always plesily of them if we really want to do them and remember that when we do something for some one else, the service always returns with good interest. The world baseball series will be the next event in national sports to attract attention and then right on the heels of that will come the big and little football games. There is always something to entertain us in this land. How about the coal bin and wood pile? As predicted the breezes are of the cooler variety which are sure signs of autumn and winter You could have saved several dollars a ton by buying a few weeks ago and its quite possible you will still save by buying now. Any way if yon have the fuel iu you will feel a lot better. The management of the Decatur fair took out insurance against rain Thursday and Friday of last week, in the sum of $3,000, and collected that sum from the insurance company. The state fair took out 850.00* insurance which cost them SB,OOO. and the weather was fair. On the two deals the insurance company was about $5,000 to the good —Columbia City Post. The Fort Wayne State bank closed Its doors last evening to prevent a receivership. The stockholders will be assessed one hundred per cent.. and the depositors will be paid in full, I’cor business, frozen assets and loans are given as the cause. This is the first financial institution ever to fail in that city, it is said, and the loss falls most heavily oh eight well-known business men. Demands for an Okl Home Week next year continue to pour in and we are not exaggerating when we say that at least a hundred people have expressed themselves in favor of such a project and not one against it. Snch • n event if properly dated need not interfere with any other project and its a fine thing for every one, if properly staged as was the one in 1912. Indiana is being flooded with counterfeit twenty-dotlar bHls and you' folks wlw arc in tnc habit of dealing in figures that size arc warned to be careful about taking in the bad ones. It is said you can tell them by glancing at the figures which are not bo good as the real thing. Its been so long since some of us have seen ou" of the genuine ones of that size that it would probably be easy to put it over Evidently the agreement to keep politics quiet until October Ist is being strictly adhered to all over the state. At Indianapolis a few preliminary meetings have been staged but in the other cities they are contenting themselves by taking the poll on urging registration. After ail, why should we get all "het up” and stay that way for weeks or months? The candidates are known to the voters and the issues can be discussed easily iu a mouth.

Reflecting ou fastness with which time flies, and particularly on the sunset slope of life, there has been plenty of comfort in the las few years in the reports of new mark: iu longevity. Centenarians have be conic comparatively common and men of 50 are spoken of as young. Now comes an officer of the American Insurance Union with the statement that the span of human life has been lengthened frffir years in the last quartet century, and that within another generation "the allotted threescore years and then will be a thing of the past." And ibis iu spite of the extra hazards which have come with twentieth century progress! There need be no surprise in it. The fastness piineipally is in machinery; in stead of suffering frem the wear and tear of it. humanity, lolling in the parlor cars of floaiiug palaces setting new speed marks, tends rather t< indolence. Advances in the science of guarding health now effect rescue* where formerly death was regarded as certain. At no time did manhood ever show greater hardiness than in the World War. An increase in longevity is to be expected natural ly. Besides, the people of the future may look back upon our age as slow just as wo do upon the period of only half a century back. — o ' * « » TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ » « » From th* Daily Democrat fit* • * Twenty years ago thia day • » « ****B*B*******< Sep'. 22, !<m'.—Sheriff* Butler and Probation officer .

I- • ■ The People’s Voice ; Tax Reduction Ed tor Democrat: Some time ago there appeared in 1 your valuable paper a letter by a 1 gentleman from the vicinity of Deca- , tur objecting to the reduction in the t road levy. Now irrespective of the , merits in this case I wish to say that ( I touches the broad question of tax reduction too little of which is being dene. Much of the farm prices settled ■ Io pre-war status two or three yeats 1 after the world war whi'e tax maintained its war time elevation. If tax is tn bo lowered the levties must b" whittled somewhere. It might bcompared to a factory during bard times. With all department heads agreeing that the employes must be. reduced, yet when it came down to the specific test none wished any of their men discharged If a person would look into al! the public expenditures he might find many places ready for the pruning knife. A new angle might be suggested for the criminal wave. Prisons and penal institutions are today so much better modeled and convenienced than the average tax payers’ surroundings that perhaps many prefor the pen to an honest grind. Now that this genti'etnap is no doubt in a good humor from the fair, I will hope he pardons me for this • joke I am telling on him- Last spring • contractors bought a road to stone in ' Jay county. They hauled the stone from near Unit Grove in trucks. Pretty soon the road bed began to give way in places faster than the deputy road superintendent could keep it in ■ repair. Farmers began to kick.
