Join tlie Country Club TOMORROW. Become a member of the Benjamin Franklin highway association and help build a coast to coast road. Join the Country Club and be a part of the charter membership of this delightful and ‘elaborate amuseiDent 'center. » The temporary board of governors of th e Decatur Country Club want a hundred members this week. The terms are easy and the benefits great. LETS PUT THE DRIVE OVER IN ONE DAY, SHOWING SCHULTE I AND TELFORD SOME REAL DECATUR SPEED. Those congressmen who are trying to stand for the farm relief bill at homo and against it in Washington are almost sure to come out without the respect of either side. The first Fourth of July fire as the result of explosives is reported from near Indianapolis where an array of sky rockets, Roman candles and fire crackers exploded and caused a loss of $20,000. Its a good time to be careful.

Wish you could all take a walk over the grounds of the Decatur Country dnb as now being laid out for we are sure you would catch the inrftriration and see the picture which Mr. Telford saw at his first glance. He declares that it was made by nature and all man has to do is to take advantage of it. The membership drive for the Country Club starts tomorrow morning and every one will be given an opportunity to join. After this week, you can only join by application which will be voted upon by the members. Within a short time your membership will be worth two or three times its cost at this time if it works here as it has in many places. The absence of President Coolidge, Vice-President Dawes, Senators Watson and Robinson from the republican editorial meeting in Fort Wayne tomorrow and next day will give the editors ample opportunity to express their views on farm relief, prohibition and ..other big problems without being over-shadowed by royalty. ’ Mr. Coolidge seems a little hard to understand. A few' months ago he staled that if the country could stand the reduction in taxes aud continue to-show a surplus there was no reason why a further reduction could not be made. Now- with a surplus of hundreds of millions he has decided to pay the war debt off more rapidly and not change the taxes which are raising over two billion a year.

Fifty years ago Friday occurred the famous Custer massacre in Little Big Horn Valley in Montana. General Custer in charge of the Seventh cavalry troop rode into the valley to disperse the Sioux Indians who were on the war path. They were surrounded and the entire army was wiped cut. This week representatives of the old tribe and the American army met at that scene and renewed pledges of loyalty and peaceful understanding. Mayor Krick and his police force have started a campaign against speeding within the city limits and

Its a very dangerous practise not only for those who engage in it but for any one else who happens to be using the streets whether in cars or afoot. Young folks can have a good time and every body wants them to, but there is surely <some safer way to do it. Careful driving is necessary these days w-hen there is an automobile for every four or five persons and enforcement of the laws of traffic is commendable. The card you receive as a member of the Decatur Country Club entitles you and your wife to the benefits of the club which includes the eighteenhole course and the nine-hole green with instructions from an expert, tennis, bowling greens, swimming pool, boating, fishing, quoiting, horse Wioe pitching and tho pleasures of a I comfortable club room. The owners are sparing no expense to make this the finest place of its kind in the middle west and it will be just that in a year or two. Your membership 'fee includes your dues this year, making it so reasonable that no one can afford to remain out. The owners have assured the public of their good intentions and demonstrated it by a large investment and its up to us as citizens to support them if we appreciate what they have done. The membership you pay now is for life and to convince all of their purpose, a clause is included in the card that in case the property is sold or trans'ferred, the rights and privileges will be extended at least five years. Nothing could be fairer and we scarcely realize how fortunate we are in securing this wonderful place with so slight effort on our part.

You curious thing men call the mind, For their advantages designed, What wilful tricks you play! Sometimes obedient to man s whim You lend yonr graces fair to him And save him from dismay. But other times you leaves him flat, With nothing underneath his hat. Contrary as a woman fair, By you no living man can swear, You keep no law' or rule. One day you'll be to his delight Unsually keen and bright. The next you’ll play the fool. When most he needs you, you'll betray And lead his feet and tongue astray. You govern all my simplest acts,

Kansas Ranchers Revive Old Cattle Trial Days Matfield Green, Kans., June 23. — C' nited Press)— Harking back to former days when fences were unknown in these parts and when eo-wboys abounded the large ranches, cattlemen of the Flint Hills section of Kansas have found trailing cattle a more economical method of moving them than shipping by rail. Long trails of dust laden clouds I were seen near here this spring when Crocker Brothers, extensive cattle .raisers of this country, moved a herd of more than 2.500 head by trailing 'from the Osage country in Oklahoma to Chase and Butler counties of Kansas. The cattle hart been wintered on , pastures in the Osage country. The greater part of the herd was rounded up in the vicinity of Foreakev, Okla., aud driven to the south part of Chase county, Kans. According to the owners, the drive required teu days. The Crocker Brothers found that the expense of bringing the rerd into Kansas for the summer to be between 30 and 40 per cent less than the cost of transportation by rail would have totaled. Lieut.

North Pole. President Coolidge and Secretary of the Navy Wilbur were to present Byrd with the Hubbard Gold Medal. Floyd Bennett, who accompanied Byrd on the flight, will likewise reiceive a gohl medal.

NEW BOOK TELLS OF LIFE OF GENE STRATTON PORTER (CoVTIV t F.n I■ HOM PAGM O •B>~~ of her nature romances, all have stirred much cur?os-ty amoM readers everywhere. Did Not Seek Publicity •'Mrs. Porter did not possess what had been classed 'an aptitude for personal publicity.' Indeed, up to the time of her death, she discouraged quite successfully any attempt to stress the personal note. It was practically impossible, however, to do the kind of work she did—to make genuine contributions to natural science by her wonderful field work among birds, insects, and flowers, and then, through her romances, to bring several hundred thousands of people to love and understand nature in away they never did before —without aroushistory, her ideals, her methods of ing a legitimate interest in her own work, and all that underlies the structure of her unusual achievement.”

Tells of Her Parents The book then deals with her father and mother, Mark Stratton, of British ancestors, and Mary Stratton, of Dutch ancestory, and a great lover of nature, birds, flowers and the 1 like. It tells of Mrs. Porter’s school days and how she refused to write an essay on “Mathematical Law,” and substituted for it a review of the book, “Picciola,” by Saintine, and stood up in the class room and read it, to the amazement and pleasure of the teachers and pupils. She then knew that she liked to write on such subjects and from that time on wrote short stories. The book is filled with interesting accounts of the life and struggles of the famous woman. It tells in a wonderful way of her work and the great love she had in her heart for the flowers and birds and the gift God gave her to express these lovely sentiments and thoughts.

Many of Her Books Sold The publishers state, that more than 19,000,000 copies of her books had been sold up to the time of her sudden death in December, 1924. “If placed end on end, her novels would term a continuous line, IJ.OO miles long, as far as from Philadelphia to New Orleans and if piled one on top of another they would reach a height of 1.250,000 feet, or 1,666 times the height of the Woolworth building. These fantastic figures do not take into account the books in Spanish, Czecho-Slovakian, Danish-Norwegian. Swedish, Dutch;, German and even Arabic.” The novels written by Mrs. Porter were, “The Song of the Cardinal”; “Freckles”; “At the Foot of the Rainbow”; “A Girl of the Limberlost”; “The Harvester’: “Laddie”; “Michael O'Halloran”; "A Daughter of the Land”; “Her Father’s Daugh ter”; “The White Flag.”; “The Keeper of the Bees.” Ten of her first books were written while she lived at Geneva and through her books she has made this section of the country famous. No doubt, the people of this community will welcome the opportunity to purchase one of the books which tells so beautifully of the life and work of Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter, former resident of Adams county and how she reached the pinnacle of success as a writer of wholesome books on wild-life and the scenes of the Mmberlost.
