Chicago Come to Decatur Saturday folks. Every store Is offering new fall goods at wonderfully low prices. You will enjoy the gift distribution and the general stir of activities. Fort Wayne with a tax rate of $2.09 has the lowest of any larger cities es the state, a very good record and one which the opponents of Mr. Hosey ■will find rather difficult to break down. A fellow at Otisville. New York state, had a couple of bears whicli he kept in a pen back of his house and charged a nickel admission to see. Yesterday one of them broke loose and devoured the little daughter of the owner. Making pets of wild beasts is a’ dangerous and foolish thing it seems. • Manager Williamson of the fair will be here again next week and if encouraged as he was this week, w ill probably start a subscription list to secure stockholders for a county-wide fair organization which should be a big success. He will make a report on this years fair, which considering tbe weather is wonderful and'hc will show you just what should be done to insure a good county fair for many years to come with co-operation from many sources. The shake-up in the state house continues. Newman T. Miller, fire marshall for eight years has resigned and there arc all kinds of rumors as to the why and wherefor. This man Jackson seems to have a faculty of keeping things stirred up, almost equal to that quality in Mayor Lew Shanks. Its not a question of service cviden'fy but the building of a political machine which seems of greatest importance and so long as thats the rub-, we are not going to have an efficient or forward moving state governmen* Saturday is Gift Day, sufficient announcement to assure a crowd of people hunting autumn goods- The live merchant will profit as a result while the slow dealer -will get just what comes. It pays to be alive, to advertise, to push your business, to let the people know what you have for sale that they need. Thats what makes business and thats the be:< thing for every one. The crowd will be here Saturday and will enjoy the day. Wo took a several hour "squint” of the Bluffton street fair last evening and we congratulate those who have given of their time.and effort to make it an affair of merit. The exhitis arc good, the attractions seemed to please and the crowd was large. Its a big holiday for tbe people of that vicinity but it should be remembered that such events are not given without a lot of hard work by a number of people. Its not a money making proposition but a good advertisement •for a community and we feel, worth the effort. One contribution all parents can make toward the education- of their children with out sacrifice or expense is to sec to it that they gel regular and adequate hours of sleep. Physicians and neurologists agree that dullnesti among school children is very often sleepiness uuderde-

The parent is as ’ much acquainted as the medical world ( with the nervous disorders and physical ills which follow too little rest in the adolescent period. Every mother knows thaf a sleepless baby is a sick baby- A trend toward nervousness among school children is attributed to irregnlur and insufficient hours of sleep. Accurate information would probably disclose that the men and women as well as the children of this community average eight or more hours of sleep nightly and it can not be charged that our school children sre dull or under-developed. Every adult knows the value of sleep and the amount he or she. individually, requires for health and maximum mental and physical efficiency. Children can not be expected to ascertain this for themselves, so it is incumbent upon their parents to learn what is required and provide for it. A spirit of romance prevades autumn of the year which few. for fear of ridicule, will admit sensing. Perhaps romance ts something for lovers, the adolescent and women folks, would be compelled to confess to a quickening of the pulse when the first leaves fall ami darkness comes before supper. For an explanation of this fall romanticism one might hearken back to the days of boyhood when autumn was the cue for hunting nuts, squirrel shooting, corn roasts and football. Ask any boy which is the best season in the hills and the question will find autumn on the tip of his tongue. The spirit of romance encountered this time of the year in the workaday world may also be traced to the fall holidays and festivals. There are Hallowe’en and Thanksgiving Day. What festivals could be more symbolical of tH> harvest season than these, and both abound in tradition, adventure and romance. Imagination is nine-tenths , romance and Hallowe'en and Thanksgiving Day exercise a strange appeal to the imagination. And if the adage' is true that “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” then the harvest accounts for a part of the romantic atmosphere of the season. Where is to be found romance in greater abundance* than in a golden brown pumpkin pie, in a glass of sweet cider, and in a basket -of new apples? ——o .

Thompson, president of the Ohio State University, have promised Io be there for the occasion, Dr. 11. R Reeder, director, announced today. Elaborate preparations are being made for the formal opening of the $5.0 n O,OOO institution left to Van Weil, by the late George Marsh.

Fourteen of the children now at. the Marsh arc from Van Wert county several arc from Allen county and three have been taken in from Franklin county. Their ages range from six to seventeen years . ‘•Although class work has been started, it differs greatly from the work as given in the public schools,” Dr. Reeder explained. ‘‘We are trying to give every pupil individual instruc tioo. Os course the necessary acadcm ic work will be provided, but ’n addition each boy or girl will be given an opportunity to learn a trade or a profession which he can follow after school days. Other courses will badd«'d later but right now, we can give instruction in horticulture and greenhouse work, poultry raising, manual training, laundry work, cooking sewing and dressmaking. Boys who have had most of their academic work can enter the school to learn a trade if they, arc of school age.” Until the tax question now pending - in the courts is decided and the Marsh trustees know how much they can spend on buildings, the capacity of
