If it takes a little frost to put sugar in the tops, they ought to be chuck full by now for there was real Ice on the hack porch this morning and bright sun shine on top of it. "The frost is on the pumpkin and the fodders' in the shock.” If there is any campaigning going on it is via the gumshoe route, for so far there have been no public meetings on either side. However, it is still over three weeks until election and there is ample time to discuss every phase of the situation. We hope the campaign is a sensible one and without the mud slinging which often accompanies such events. A western city is advertising the fact that they have no tax rate, the Vity light and water plant paying all the overhead necessary to operate. There is a good chance that if permission can be secure dthis may be possible here some day. We arc stepping along in the right direction and with the outlook ahead, stranger things might occur. -J-'J'-LAI , The Hanna lot sale is in progress in Decatur and its a very important business for one of the very ways to progress and the only way we can , grow is to build more homes. We feel this will be done next year and with this opportunity to buy a good building lot on your own terms and I to secure through the loan companies the funds with which to erect a home, there is no reason why you should . not be paying for a property as you pay rent. The famous Kryl band, 126 pieces, spent yesterday in Fort Wayne where a philanthropic citizen had signed a contract several months ago, expecting to surprise his home folks with , a concert. In the meantime h c went to Europe, forgot about it and when the band arrived no one knew any thing about it as the business man had ordered that no one was to open his mail. He returned yesterday just in time to write his check for SI,OOO and the band enjoyed a day off. Four years ago the democratic candidates promised certain things if elected and we call your attention to the fact they have kept the faith. The city has moved forward and is in a splendid condition now with a better outlook even than ever before. Few- municipally owned plants have succeeded as has ths local one and that fact is due to the onsistent bus-iness-like administration of the past and present. We can go much farther and will if the people will permit it. High school publishes Ravelings, this being the sixteenth year and number one which was distributed yesterday thrilled the patrons because it was a six column paper, splendidly edited, full of snap and a credit to those in charge. Monai Butler is editor. Irsta Fisher, assistant; Robert Macklin. Business manager, and they have a full staff of desk workers, reporters, sport writers and juniors. Its a good paper, a fine idea and we congratulate the class. Horse sease is always a safe propo-

It means you get down to ; brass tacks and do the wisest and ) best things. One of th 0 groat life in- ) surauce companies recently sent out 1 a bulletin urging the following seven i "horse sense” rules, which will prolong the average life, if observed: "Learn to play; don't eat too much; take proper exercise; don't work too hard, either mentally or physically; don't worry, fuss or lose your temper —the best tonic in the world is optimism and cheerfulness; seek some healthful amusement that diverts the mind and exercises the muscles; once I a year have your family doctor examine you for health, not for disease.’’ A fire alarm always arouses curiosity and a desire to witness a spectacular scene, llardlv have the fire bells indicated the approximate location of the blaze, before the streets leading to it become the channels along which hundreds of automobiles carry hundreds to the scene. All the expensive fire fighting apparatus and the proximity of water plugs are of, little use if the fire department cannot move its units quickly or have | ready access to the water source. It is exceedingly difficult to stretch a! line of hose through streets and alleys that are parked thickly with' automobiles. Citizens have been' thoughtlessly rushing to fires, little dreaming that their presence has become a menace to the operations of' the men whom they pay to extinguish fires before they have made headway.

® Exceptional Riding Comfort The riding comfort of a motor car is not dependent upon its length, weight or cost, any more than the comfort of a home depends upon its size. If the seats are deep enough and the proper distance from the floor; if the seat backs are correctly pitched for relaxation; if the upholstery is sufficiently stuffed and there is plenty of leg room; above all, if the springs are rightly designed and of proper length, you will have exceptional riding comfort. Otherwise, you will not. Dodge Brothers, with characteristic thoroughness, studied and experimented with these details for years. Their findings were ultimately incorporated in the design of Dodge Brothers Motor Car —without question now a vehicle that ranks with the first in this vitally important feature, THOMAS J.
