Carpsnter A Company, IM Michigan Avenue, Ohtcaje If you don’t give a dollar to become a member of the Benjamin Franklin highway association you are overlooking a splendid chance to help your city, county, state and nation. Abe Nathanson, an Indianapolis man didn’t believe in banks so he kept his valuables in a trunk. Now this SBOO is gone and he probably • hasn’t any more faith in trunks than he had in the banks. Picnic at Bellmont Park all day on the Fourth and enjoy the big celebration. It will be your best guarantee for a good time, away from ( the noise and confusion of the city, with plenty of entertainment of every kind. ! ■ I Whatever excuses may hr made it I does look as though senators and j congressmen with salaries of 110,000 I for a few months work, ought to be able to get along without side issues whether it be chautauqua fees, honoraria or clerkships. Senator Willis, of Ohio, denies that jh e ever received any money from the Anti-Saloon League as was testified to by Wayne B. Wheeler and Senat >r Robinson, of Indiana, says he received his expenses from Washington to Terra Haute and to South Bend but no extras. Both men are candidates for reelection and evidently would have preferred if the niatter had not come up at this time. u———l The fact that it costs $70,000 to I Tend one letter to every voter in I •Pennsylvania may explain to some extent tue high cost of the recent primary, though it leaves a considerable amount still to be accounted for. It is however proof in several ways ethal the primary, good as it may 1 listen on paper, is a joke when it comes to actual use. We believe the | people can retain all of their power ' and rights by electing delegates to conventions. In Indiana both political parties have declared against the present expensive primary law which , has not been the success anticipated. , T?*e fire department from Bluffton put on their slickers and red caps and went down to Indianapolis this week to cop every honor that was advertised and came t about as near doing It as was possible. They captured three first prizes and a second and landed the convention for 1927. Our boys will be glad to have the big show come so close home again and those who enjoy these occasions may rest assured they will be splendidly entertained next year. Plans art to be made at once and the Chamber of Commerce will assist the fire fighters in making it. the biggest convention ever held. Several local business men are trying to secure a better detour on the state road No. 21, now being improved with new bridges. Whether you have noticed it or not, we are getting practically no tourist business this ( season, due to thqjact that travelers are being routed tnrough V»a Wert or Bluffton. It is said that within three weeks the road will be open excepting at one place and instead of the present seven-mde detour, this can be arranged in less than a mile. Mr. Sinoft, in charge of the state highway work in this section was here yesterday urging that local men cooperate in securing a change in the

detour. He says that not more than p a hundred dollars would be necessary to make a detour which would be more convenient and would bring the tourists back this way. Mr. R. J. (Harting is working on th 0 project I and with the aid of others here should be able to complete all necessary arrangements. We hope he does it. | 1 There is much interest those days l in golf In this territory, if you doubt it, drop out to the new country club any afternoon and notice the numbor of people who are learning the game, practicing or playing a real game and b you may be surprised. Those who have indulged in the greatest of outdoor sports declare there is no thrill quite equal to that of hitting the pill over the green. We don’t know about tfiat but we can see how tb--> exercise of a game of golf over nine or eighteen holes would clear the tired hrain and make a fellow fit for •the next days work. As we grow older we are perhaps too prone to sit in an office chair all day. go home and finish the day reading or doing something that does not exert-lse the muscles of the body and the first thing we know something snaps and its all over, shortening our lives many years. We need the tfbtf course and we all need to avail ourselves of its beauties and its advantages. A campaign for membership is to be started soon. You can help greatly by joining and by helping to get others in. |I*IIHIBKIBS*K**| W TWENTY YEARS ABO TODAY ■ 8 —“ ■ Frwm th* Daily Democrat File ■ 8 Twenty Years Age Thin Bay ■ ■ ’ MKBHBBBBBHBSHBBBB June 20. —Governor John M.
