Do. your Christmas shopping early. Well we suppose a lot of thirsty folks get some satisfaction out of just thinking about light wines and beer. One of the great troubles with the Florida investments seems to be that its so hard to raise fruit and real estate at the same time. So far we have failed to read of any assignment of funds for the Decatur postoffice building, though this is being (Jone for other cities. Perhaps n little effort on the part of those with influence in Washington might help to secure this needed improvement. With the look of a wounded animal at bay in his eyes, without a word and without a tremor, Gerald Chap-, man. notorious robber and prince of bandits went to his death in Wethersfield prison, in Connecticut, early this morning. He fought to the very last day and his last words were. “I am > not afraid to die.” His career is | ended, his life’s story is written, all that remains are the lessons to be derived for the good of society. The first three months of the year have slipped away, giving you a j 'chance to check up on what you have done, what you expect to do and what the general average may be for the year. If you are going alright, keep it up, if the first quarter has been a little slow, dig that much harder that the half may find you ahead of last year. If expenses have •been too high, perhaps you can trim a little here or there. If you are in , business and want to keep the old ship moving, try advertising, its the bnly safe and sure means of increasing trade, profits and satisfaction. The department down in Washington where they employ a lot of people ' to keep track of how many people live in the United' feta Yes has just unbounded that the April Ist population is slightly over 116.000,000 and that we increased 1,629,000 the past year. But one-sixth of the increase was due to immigration. So thats that and one point to be remembered and taken in to consideration is that the increase is due to a decreased death rate rather than to the number of births. We tire living longer. Income tax returns for the first quarter of the year were larger than anticipated by the government. Some experts believe it is due to the fact that the wealthy have been more liberal in making up their reports be cause of the reduced rate. To get that angle however we must take it for granted that a lot of people were holding out in violation of the law and of course no one would do that. Its probable that because the amount is less this year, more people paid in full to get it out of their systems and that the total for the year will be less. Young Claris Adams is making it hot for Senator Watson according to ' reports from over the state and James is rushing back to try to save his scalp. He has been resting easy thinking he had a picnic but the past week has produced some scares and the heavy artillery is to be thrown into the war. News from the Eleventh district is that Adams is leading right now and from the Ninth that he is

From various parts of the state the news is discouraging to the Watson faithful and the SOS has been radioed to Washington. Now it will warm up. Congress is planning adjournment May Ist, a most commendable sug-

gestion by whoever made it. They should have the discussion of the r prohibition out of the way by that t time and sufficient speeches made to keep the printers .and postoffice department busy for several months , sending them out to the constituents. ! What else pray is there to do since , ► has been decided to pass up the farmer, the laboring man and every lone else but those who don’t need .'assistance by legislation? And then too remember that tills is a cam- ' paign year and the law makers are I entitled to a nice long rest before 'they enter the battle. • There are about a hundred and fifty democratic candidates in the primary, a showing of interest that is a good barometor of victory next ■'November. If each of these candidates will continue his interest after the primary and the ticket has the support of their friends, an old time majority is assured. If you believe in the Jeffersonian principles that ' the people ought to rule, if you feel I that the future will be brighter if you would retain control rather than sub- ■ mit to those who favor concentration of government with all its powers, you will do that very thing. Its proper to selert the best candidates on ; your ticket but after all the big thing ought to be the fight for principles of government and when you vote in a primary you should understand you are voting for a political rather than for candidates. The Adams County Agricultural, Association has elected a permanent board of sixteen directors whose duty ’ it will be to complete the organization 'of a county fair and consumate the deal for the purchase of Bellmont park. It is composed of capable men who can and we believe will do the job which is of such great importance to the people of the best county in the middle west. The temporary board which served for sixty days, did much of the preliminary work but due to . the fact that they were chosen for so short a period of time, did not feel like binding the association or the new board. While the work requires some time and effort It is worth while and this new board supported by citizens of the community can satisfactorily accomplish : it. We ask for them the enthusiastic support of every one who believes the county fair is an asset, who feels that Bellmont park, the most beautiful 1 grounds in the state should be preserved, who thinks that ail*- annual gathering of the farmers and mer- ' chants and their families with a display of the seasons harvests and of machinery,-art and features is a good thing, and that you encourage them ’ in every way you can. o —— it 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 1» 3 •• *» 3 «S X TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY 8 . 8 8 From the Daily Democrat File 8 3 Twenty Yeare Ago This Day 3 X 8 April 6,1906—The first public meet I ing is held in Hie new library by the } City Civic Improvement Society.

Men called him smart. His mind was keen and clever, In business matters no one fooled him ever. His judgment never faltered. He could see What contracts were and what they ought to be. He knew land values, and what price to pay, And what he’d sell for at some future day. But little time or patience this niau had For any plan or scheme he knew was bad. No man could fool him into loss of wealth.
