Are you attending the Better Homes Exposition? It’s a dandy and everybody who goes is enjoying it. Don't miss tonight and tomorrow night. Republican newspapers which have for years charged Tom Taggart with being the "boss" of the democratic party are now finding fault because he is not giving orders. It seems we just can't please some of these partisian newspaper men. The only thing we don't approve about the Harding highway signs just put up here is the fact that they give the population of Decatur at 4,000, when we have been telling everybody it was 5,500 or more. We still believe it is, even with the signs staring us in the face. Members of the Decatur Industrial Association, be sure to hear Mr. Buisch tonight. He will give you a message that will help your business the coming year. There's no catch of any kind, simply a part of the program of the week. Be there. New York state will vote on a modification of the Volstead law next November. It is admitted it won't change any laws and won't do any good except to show how the voters of the Empire state feel about the law. It may also be taken as an excuse by the law violators of that state. Exhibitors at the exposition declare it one of the best methods of making sales ever devised. The displays are wonderful and it is admitted that the results so far have been far beyond expectations. The various articles on display are attractive and many orders have been taken. The senate feels sure there was giaft in the Pennsylvania primary because their favorite was beaten. A committee was appointed to investigate it but before they got started, three members, fearing they might find something that didn’t smell good, resigned. - * Over at Steubenville, Ohio, a couple were found dead the other day. In vestigation proved that they had ar ranged a still in an old saw mill and were preparing to operate it. The fumes from the mash overcome them and when found after a twenty-four hour search, they were dead. Now there's that to worry over. Congress yesterday reduced the re . volving fund in the proposed Haugen farm product stabilization bill from $375,000,000 to $175,000,000 and it's likely that before they get through they will have plugged some way so it can't be used. Then they will go out on the stump and tell the farmers what they have done for them. It s the same old gag. Babe Ruth is putting it over this year. Last autumn Babe made up his mind he was going to put himself in condition for this year's season and he put in a winter of training. As a result, he is going bigger than ever and yesterday was ten days ahead of his famous record of 1921. He has made fourteen homers in thirty-one games and has been playing his best all round game. It pays to work at your job. Folks, go to the exposition. You z will be surprised to find it a real one perhaps. It's not a carnival, not just

I a plan of taking your money, but a genuine and clean exhibit of articles which make better homes and you will bo delighted, we are sure. Take the family and go tonight and wc r know you will be back tomorrow night, it It has taken a lot of effort to prepare th e show. You ought to be interested enough to attend. It's free and it’s good. Bil ! " 1 Mr. Williamson and President Con- ■ ter and a few of the members of the Industrial Association are working hard at the exposition but they can’t make it the financial success it ought to be unless they have the hearty and real cooperation of other members. There is a lot of things to be done and every member ought to be in the harness this week. Come on boys, he good fellows, help put the exposition over. It’s worth doing and with proper assistance tonight and tomorrow night, will be proof that such an event should be given annually. Commencement season is at hand and over this county a hundred girls and boys will receive diplomas. They will feel they have the world by the heels and can play with it as they desire, but after they get down to the stern realities they will learn, as all of us have learned before, that it takes persistent effort, continued study, a clear conscience and a maintenance of ambition to stand all the knocks, the ups and downs, the successes and failures and by the way, successes as often spoil your plans as do failures. Go to it young folks, and play the game with all the vim and energy you can. It's great but don't fool yourselves, it's not easy. On the other hand, if you keep going straight ahead, honest, alert, ambitious, you can't lose. o SSSSKSRS3SRSHRSSS! * " 1 TWENTY YEARB AGO TODAY K a k 4 From the Daily Democrat File K < Twenty Year* Ago Thia Day 4 ■ UKWSSXXSSSSXSKSSS May 21, 1906—Henry Hite, wellknewn grocer, injured in a runaway. 11.
