Bluffton had an exciting time yesterday. A mad dog was cornered and shot on the spot. The campaign to have all dogs muzzled or tied has taken on renewed interest and the poor little fellows are wondering what it's all about. A week from next Tuesday is primary election day. it's important that every person who is entitled to vote goes to the polls and casts his or her preference for the candidates. Those nominated in the primary will carry on the campaign for election next fall. The spring days have brought out the buds on the trees and the spring flowers. The lawns are green and the garden patches are being cultivated. It's a great time of year and the season when one gets a thrill out of the new life and activities seen on every hand. Beginning today those voters who know that they will be out of the county on election day, can by appearing at the county clerk's office and making out the proper application vote an absent voter’s ballot. They have until next Saturday to take advantage of this accommodation and if they wish to save their vote they are urged to do it before it's too late. It is reported that Elbert H. Gary, head of the United States Steel corporation is figuring on retiring in the near future. Gary has manned this enormous business enterprise for many years and some of the stockholders ar e now asking that younger men be placed in charge. It's a hard old world and no matter how successful a man has bene, there are always some who believe that it can be done a little better. And that keeps the world on moving. This man Sinclair Lewis is making himself more ridiculous than ever. In his speeches and writings heretofore he has set himself up as the interpreter of all public questions and left the impression that if he did not find things to satisfy him that everything was wrong. His latest venture is defying Almighty God and a man of his calibre is repulsive to the majority of people. Fame is fleeting they say and someday Lewis may get a sudden jolt. Michigan City prison authorities, evidently expecting a continuance of good business, have rented four hundred additional acres of land, with the opportunity of buying at some future date. No doubt the next legislature will be asked to donate the money to buy this land, but, be it said, Michigan City prison is one self-sustaining proposition in this state. If more land is needed to keep the boys busy no doubt it should be secured. — Bluffton Banner. The commencement season is at hand and by the end of the month the grade and rural high schools will have completed another year. Boys and girls are being gfuduated from high school and they will either continue their studies in college next fall or start on a business career. It behoover the boy or girl of today to take advantage of the opportunity to secure an education and it is encouraging to sec increased numbers complete their high school education each year. The schools of Adamt

Some educators feel that the socalled intelligence tests should be substituted for written examinations in schools and colleges. But in so ! far as such tests depend upon the quickness with which a person’s mind ' acts, they are apt to be deceptive. 1 Many street gamins have had their ■ wits so trained by human contacts, : that they cun think quicker up to a certain limit than a thoroughly educated man. but that does not prove they are fit to enter a high-grade school or college. There are many 1 men occupying high administrative 1 positions who are not quick thinkers. If a person can sec into the inside of I a question and decide it right, the delay of a few minutes, hours or days in making that decision Is not usually serious.—Newcastle Courier. o s k s s xssusxsxssxss * ■ X TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY K 4 K 4 From thgiDaily Democrat File « q Twenty Years Ago Thia Day 8 X ■ 888888888 8 8 3 8 8 S 8 8 April 24 —Earthquake shocks are still being felt on the Pacific coast.

MEM ORY You will remember that he smiled. So keen the pain you fee! today. Was gentle and believed in you; You little dream that time will bring That once he prattled as a child A beauty that shall brush away And romped the summer garden The bitterness of sorrowing; through; You will remember that he smiled And never more you'll hear him sigh And know him always as a child. Or see a teardrop in his eye. And you will talk of him and tell He will not age as we have done. His lovely ways with true delight Know sorrow as we must aud may; You'll have him always strong and Or totter, where he used to ruu; well You will not see him turning gray. And always safe with you at night, Whene'er you think of him, he'll be Now always yours he will remain. Youthful and radiant to see. Untouched by age or grief or pain. (Copyright Tdgar A.' fluMt

Prospective Brides Are Busy Selecting Their Wedding Gowns By Hedda Hoyt (Written for the United Press) New York, April 24. — (United Press) —While prospective grooms are looking over railroad time tables, their intended brides are picking out their trains. The train of the wedding gown has been sort of side-tracked of late. It may start anywhere and end anywhere, despite the fact that, tradition has urged them to start at <the shoulders and end on the floor. Some of the modem girls choose trains that start straight from the hip falling below the hem and training on the floor. Others choose those sidepanel trains that start at one shoulder only and fall in sweeping train effect. Still others combine both of the above fashions using the double train or the train with a caboose attachment as where one train starts from one shoulder and the other starts at the opposite hip. This season taffeta, satin and chiffon are the favored materials for the bridal gown. Hems are irregular often being shorter in front and dipping at the sides and rear. Bodices arc semifitted with snug-fitting sleeves which extend down over the hands. Except in a few instances where the quaint ■ old-fashioned wedding gown is chosen, skirts are short. The bride’s maids invariably wear bouffant frocks with skirts trimmed in tiers, ruffles, pleats, godets or circu- ' lar floating drapes. Bodices are slender and little capes, with berthas or ' floating wing pauelg aid in the bouffant effect Organdy in pastel colors ■ is a favored material for the bride’s maid. Often each maid wears a differetw simdft giving a rainbow effect.

of the season's new offerings. In this case the gown is of satin and falls in slender-lines to the hem being trimmed in deep white fringe from hips to hem. The fringe is usually applied in zig zag manner rather than straight about the skirt. o War Destruction In China To Be Repaid Peking, April 24.—(United Press) — Although the "Christian General Feng Yu-hsiang resigned his military command some time ago, he has issued an announcement for distribution of military relief funds to compensate those who suffered through the recent capture of Tientsin and attendant fighting. Families of persons killed are to receive Mex 160 (about $35 U- 3.) for each de»tb. Persons disabled by wounds will get Mex SSO. Wounded are to receive Mex 120. For each totally destroyed house Mex S3O will be paid for each room; in the case of damaged houses, Mex $lO will be given for each room; tor loss of horses, cattle and other livestock, compensation of Mex sls a head will be paid. The list is interesting as a guage of the value of human life and property in North China today. Feng himself contributed largely tu the fund, it is said, through foregoing a considerable part of his salary. o License Plates To Be Biack And White In 1927 Anderson, (nd., April 24. — Indiana automobile license plates for 1927 will be black and white, it was learned at the Hill-Standard factory here.
