Miib gan Avenue, Chicago Factory managers tell us that more than a hundred houses could be rented here if we had them. Surely that 'means a healthy condition and a good time to boy a lot and plan to build. With the election but three weeks away the candidates are getting ready for a garrison finish which will appeal to every voter in the city. This is true not only here but all over the state where up to date but little interest has been manifested. The biggest scrap is Indianapolis. . Work on Thirteenth street and on state road No. 21 is being pushed along rapidly now and within a short time both of these important arteries will be open for public use. Good roads mean much for the city and county and indications are that within a short time this county and this city will be the center of several highways with every road a good one. The sugar factory will open soon, plans being completed this week to handle the big acreage and turn out the best grade of sugar. The opening of the factory will provide employment for several hundred men from now until the first of the year and will mean the distribution of large sums in this and adjoining counties for beets. Rev. L. W. A. Luckey is pleased with the alacrity shown here in the acceptance of his offer to pay the expense of beautifying the court house yard. His offer came last Saturday and within a week had been accepted, the contract let and the work completed. A letter from the donor expresses his appreciation of the officials here. The purchase of a lot in Decatur at this time is the safest investment we know of. They will never be any cheaper and as the city grows as it Is sure to do, they will grow in value. If perchance there should come a growth more rapid than the steady one of the past few years, your gain would be the greater. Its a good way to save money and by building upon the lot you are sure of a good return and besides you are aiding the community to grow. .Mr. Williamson will start his campaign for the organization of a company to purchase Belmont Park and inaugurate a county fair, this week. He is enthusiastic about the outlook and feels that the project can and will be easily put over and to the great. advantage of the community. What he says is true —the agricultural fair as now conducted, is a great Asset to any county — and such a fair can only be given when the entire county is co-operating. If the right men and women buy the stock and undertake to conduct the fair for the good of all rather than for individual profits, there is no doubt as to the results. The best gauge of conditions here is the amount of electric current being manufactured at the city plant. Last Tuesday the total was 19.720 kilowatts, the largest ever produced in one day and two thousand higher than the peak last December. Some idea of what is being done at the plant may be seen from a comparison of figures which shows that five years

The big increase is due largely to the current furnished the General Electric company, whose local plant is using about half the juice manufactured here. The local company is one of the few municipal plants showing an actual profit and it is rapidly becoming one of'the model ones in the country. The Indiana Federation of Clubs is back of the movement to buy Limberlost Cabin North, near Rome City, that It may be converted into a state park. Its a splendid movement which of course has the approval of every one in Adams county though we do feel they would do better if they did not continue to insist that Mrs. Porter wrote the “Song of the Cardinal,’’ 'Freckles” and "The Foot of the Rainbow” and others of her early works there. These books were written in Adams county when Mrs. Porter lived in the original Limberlost Cabin at Geneva and nothing is gained by taking away from the old original "Limberlost” that which belongs to it. The authoress did write one or two of her books at the north cabin hut they are going to find it difficult to find there the scenes described in her earlier books. If those who are boosting the cause of the Federation do not know the facts about the life of Mrs. Porter they should investigate before making statements which will not stand. We refuse to permit any Either community to take from this county what is rightfully hers. This is a democratic city by a large majority and it is better to have the majority in power when the candidates and their policies are right as they are this year. George Krick, who is the candidate for mayor has had four years experience as a member of the council and has proven his ability by exercising the best judgment in management of the city plant. He has had many years experience as a manufacturer, knows how to handle men, knows how to buy at the best advantage, believes in the municipal plant and in keeping it in such condition as to get best results, believes in economy and desires only that this shall be the best city in the middle west. He has with him on the ticket, Fred Ashbaucher, George Miller. O. L. Vance, Fred Linn and Joe Hunter, for council, all experienced and careful business men who will serve the community in the very best way. Mrs. Luella Magley is a candidate for city treasurer and Mrs. Catherine Kauffman for city clerk. They ask your support on the record made the past years under democratic administrations and with their known ability deserve it. Their selection in the coming election is important for you and for the city during the next four years. o s m sBBBB s s k 8 8 k 888« 8 8 8 TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 8 8 — 8 8 From the Daily Democrat File 8 8 Twenty Years Ago This Day 8 8 8 88888888888888888 Oct. 12. 1905 —New firm of Haruff & Kendall announced real estate office. .1.

Plans Weather Station In Central Greenland Copenhagen, Oct. 12. — (United ( Press) Claris looking forward toward the establishment of a Danish-Ameri-can meteorological station in the heart of Greenland are being made here today try Professor William Hobbs of Michigan University. “Meteorological observations made during the last 150 years indicate that the storms which sweep Northern and Eastern Europe." said Professor Hobbs 'have their origin in the icy wastes of Greenland. The establishment of a meterological station in Greenland's interior at a height of 3,000 feet w ould, I believe, enable observers to notify Europe with absolute certainty of the approach of storms. “1 am here laying the groundwork for an expedft'on we will make next year under the leadership of the Danish explorer Lauge Koch into the heart of Greenland for the purpose of making experimental observations. If these experiments prove my theory correct we will make a drive for funds to establish a permanent station there maned by Americans and Danes." , QLEGION NOTICE Tuore will be an important mee’ing of the American Legion at their hall Tuesday evening at 7:30.

Tlte writer is the son of Charley Black, who for a long lime served as editor and foreman In this office.) Hood River. Oregon. Sept. 30. 1925. My Dear Mr. Friatoe: i Not long ago I got a catalogue, and on opening it I came upon yourpicture. It is barely possible you may remember me. I was a boy of twelve wbeu we left Decatur and went to Kalamazoo— 45 years ago. 1 remember as if it were yesterday, hearing my parents talk about "Jim and Can coming to look at the house." and also your coming. Likewise. 1 have not forgotten the plans you showed father of the chicken house you wore going to put up in the yard. As 1 retaetnber you. you were teaching a <«untry school in those days Life brings oicissitndes to us all, and 1 have certainly encountered my share of them. Reverses fell to our lot after we went to Kalamazoo, and I was obliged to go to work at 14. I worked as a printer for 8 years, when I went to Chicago to stady medicine, graduating in 1893. In 1894. I began practice in a small town and hour's ride front Chicago. Had a breakdown in 1929. and sold my practice. The Mrs. Black and I. had a complete change for several years, when we decided to leave Illinois and cotne to Oregon. IVe came here to Hood River two years ago, and it has certainly beeu the bappieat two yours either of us have ever had. We were aiarried 27 years ago; have never bad a family, but have had supremely happy life. My father. Chas. A. Bfcuk. died 13 years ago. my sister 12, and mother 11 years back. My l«sh-r iYed. who was a babe of 14 months of age when we left Decatur, lived oa alone in the house at Kalamazoo after mother's death. He died May 6. last, nearly 45 years of age, Imh an older nan idiysitaily than 1 am now at over 57. I have no relatives that I would know in the world. Illinois was a fine place to have a home in. lait the climate was very trying and subject to too great extremes I*M degrees in the summer, and over 30 below in the winter. Herr in Hood River we have the four seasons. but seldom below zero in the winter, and never very hot in the summer. Our scenery here is wonderful. The Hood river empties into the Columbia here, and we have Mt. Hood at the foot of the valley, and Mt Adams north of us. over in Washington. We are on the Columbia highway. said to be the most scenic route in the world. The mountains I have named, as well as others near, are always snow covered, and add further beauties to the ride on the highway. It would of course, lie Jutile to say “remember me to the old friends.” for

Remember, how it used to be when you could hardly wait for mealtime? And then, sit down and eat several helpings of everything — enjoy every morsel and get up from the table feeling satisfied with the World, happy with everybody and ready for anything? But what a difference in living when even the sight and smell of food sickens you! Never hungry—no matter how tempting the food is—nothing tasting right. And then, after nibbling at a few bites, feeling wotm than, ever. Oh, life Is hardly worth living this •way.
