Chicago Too many folks vote against certain candidates, instead of voting for some one. Our aim should be to select those best fitted to carry out our ideas of government. Decatur will be ninety years old next week and the event is to be appropriately observed at the Exposition. Its something to celebrate for the little hamlet of 1836 has grown to be one of the best towns of 5,500 •population in the middle west and is now just ready to grow more rapidly. Now that the city is all cleaned up, The yards and lawns improved, the flowers and shtuhs planted and every thing tip top, lets keep it that way. Os course It takes a little time and effort but we are sure from the fine things we have heard from visitors regarding the appearance of the city, ..J hat s its worth it all and more. The big top is up. the booths are being built, the displays will be put in Monday, Manager Williamson is busier than any body in town —every thing is going to be set for the opening of the Better Homes Exposition Monday evening. Its a big show, important and sure to prove delightful, interesting and helpful. Plan to attend and be a real booster. If any monjy is made the amount goes to The Industrial fund to be used for your benefit, so you just can't lose. Young man, do you want to be rich some day? Its easy if you start out now and carry on. Do you know that if you actually saved a dollar a day and put it out at 6%% interest, compounded semi-annually, you can save a million dollars in eighty-one years. Os course at that age you will be too old to enjoy it but the thought is that long before that time you will have sufficient money to attain any thing you want that money will buy. It takes thirty months to get your first thousand dollars but from that time on it multiplies rapidly. The big thing about it is to save systematically and that rule never fails. The trouble is that most of us sneer at trying to save a small amount and hang on to the hope that some day we will strike it rich. At the democratic district meeting •at Portland yesterday, Virgil Simmons of Bluffton, resigned as the nominee for congress and was elected chairman of the district. Claude A. Ball, well-known and able attorney of Muncie was nominated as the candidate for congress. The change which was made at the suggestion of Mr. Nimmons will provide a splendid organization, an able candidate and an tenthusiastn which will assure a vigorous campaign this year. Mr. Ball is a fluent speaker, a campaigner of ability and in every way qualified to serve in the halls of congress. He was a candidate fox the nomination four years ago when John W. Tyndall of this city was named and has taken an active part in the politics of the district for a number of years. Virgil Simmons, an attorney of Bluffton, who has been in politics since he was a boy, knows the conditions of the district as well as any man in it, has the pep. ability and qualilcations to conduct a campaign of merit, will prove the right man in the right place as chairman. The Pulitzer prize of SI,OOO, which i has been declined by Sinclair Lewis,! was not offered for the best or mostj

Lewis is a dissenter. Rebellion is' part of his stock in trade. In "Main Street” and "Babbitt” he placed special emphasis upon the bad menners of his characters. So it was with "Arrowsmith." This was largely an attack on the practice of medicine. Lewis’ novels do not deal with wholesome situations or the highest standards of American manners and manhood. If a mistake was made it was by the committee. Lewis did not deserve the prize. The reasons he gave for declining it were that authors would grow to consider the Pulitzer award as the highest honor in American literature and work to attain it. That is more or less bosh. Booth Tarkington has won the Pulitzer prize without ehanging his style. Edith Wharton has done the same thing. There rarely is unanimity of opinion in the awarding of prizes, but in this case a study of the provisions of the award should tend to bring about a pretty general conviction that the judges were wrong.— Indianapolis News. . o SSSSSSSSSSSSSKSSg ■ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY F X B X From the Dally Democrat File » X Twenty Year* Ago Thia Day K SESSKKBSSSSSKSSSSSS May 15. 1906—Ordinance on spitting on sidewalks becomes effective. 50,000 pairs of shoes, donated to San Francisco sufferes, shipped from Boston.

A TRIBUTE TO BALD-HEADS

1 Bald-headed men must patient be. At least they so appear to me, : I now declare . I have grown weary, I admit. Os all that very ancient wit Which they must bear; 1 And I am not the butt of it, For I have hair. I I have not heard in thirty years One new jest sprinkled 'niong the • jeers At bald-heads flung. 1 “Shave with a collar on?” asked Pat. Answer: “A hair cut in your hat” That first was sprung And all the wide world laughed at that t When I was young. 1

“Hair on a billiard ball. Ah, no! Hair upon ivory cannot grow;” They use it still, And all the table rocks with glee. The bald-heads bear it patiently And always will. They faintly smile, but as for me, I feel a chill. O patience and baldness, hand in hand Must travel, so much grief to stand i Without one sigh. Yet, if at an hairless head. By chance a new line shall be said As times go by, The bald man surely will drop dead And so will I.

TRADE AT LOCAL STORES If you want a home that is beautiful, comfortable, satisfying—don’t buy furniture by mail order. The most carefully worked illustration in ' j the most carefully planned catalogue ■cannot tell you all the things you | i.eed to know about the piece or i pieces of furniture tjiat you feel your i home requires. | To do your home justice you must get in among quantities of , furniture, actually feel textures, see lines, inquire about the relative merits of this add that piece. You must talk over your room schemes with your furniture dealer, who, interested in tasteful homes as he is, I J will help you select furnishings which can do the most for your dwelling and with which you will be satisfied as long as you live. Your local dealer probably visits the leading furniture markets once or twice a year; undoubtedly he keeps up with furniture styles and perfected methods of construction'. He knows what American houses that are going to be honest-and- i truly homes demand. He wants to give you what is right, for in the satisfaction of his community lies his whole success. o Fort Wayne — Newly appointed policemen are being used by Chief Walter Kavanaugh to obtain evidence in liquor cases. The men are instructed to buy liquor which is later used as ( evidence when the liquor vender's place of business is raided,

THERE IS CHARM IN MERE CHANGE I Really Necessary to Tune Up Homes Frequently in Year (By Gene Aram) Harmony in home decorating Is not the result of chance; it is based on definite principles of fitness, proportion. color, balance,] contrast and ornament. Taste is ( the intelligent combining of these principles; and their misapplies-. tion results in discord as intoler-, able, as ( jarring to the nerves, as dirregard of the laws of musical sounds. Discord is bound to creep into eVcry home as a result of haphazard buying, lack of experience, moving to new quarters, conflicting tastes in the same family or reluctance to part with certain objects because of their sentimental significance. And because familiarity with our immediate surroundings breeds, not contempt, but kindly tolerance, We must keep a critical and analytical eye open at all times, and tune up our homes once or twice a year to maintain or restore their perfect harmony. Though ‘‘we learn from our mistakes,” when it comes to interior decoration, we must also live with our mistakes, unless we learn how to correct them. Every piece of furniture or ornament must be considered from two points of view: by itself, and in its relation to the room in which it is to be placed. A piece of furniture which is badly finished, cjude or clumsy, stands little chance of adjustment; but such articles are seldom bought even by inexperienced home-makers. As a matter of fact, really ugly furniture is not manufactured to any great extent today. But things often appear ugly when they are only old-fashioned or do not fit in with the lines, proportions or character of the room. A tall floor clock, for instance, suitable for a large hall of colonial design, would be out of place in a frivolous boudoir. If you treasure, therefore, some odd piece of furniture because of its beauty, or the sentimental ! value attached to it, yet cannot find a place for It, try grouping or bali ancing or both. Suppose, for instance, that you have a French

Renaissance high-backed chair. Your* hall being too small, the only pos-J slide place for It is the living room,] 1 But this Is a modern room, with light gray walls, white woodwork* and a domestic rug. In it, the chair Is hopelessly - conspicuous. because it is alone of its kind. First, it would be a good Idea to group the chair with a wrought iron floor lamp and a fine copy of an Italian Renaissance painting. In this picture there will surely be some rich color, the blue cloak of a Madonna, with a touch of gold or red for con- ! trust, perhaps; these should be 1 caught up and echoed in the tissue ‘of the cushion or drape used to soften the lines of the hard chest*seat. Opposed to this group, and balancing it, there will be a radio cabinet or a table of the same period design; the color scheme can be repeated by means of china pieces, a table scarf or table ornaments. In this case, we have solved the , problem by emphasizing the Impor-' tance of the one odd piece, because its artistic value gave it naturally a foremost place in the decorative scheme of the room. Now let us suppose, on the contrary, that you wish to decrease the , importance of certain pieces, for ini stance, a set. of overstuffed furniture. composed of a davenport and two chairs to match, because they . are too large and too heavy for the . size of the room. Fortunately, these i bulky pieces are generally carried
