Foreign Representative! * Carpenter at Company, HI Michigan Arenas, Chicago Join the Decatur Country club this week. Its a good .investment for you and a line thing for the community. The Fourth, great and glorious, % observing the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence will be celebrated here next Monday. Read the program, get ready, come, you wiil enjoy it. Be sure to get a membership card in the Benjamin Franklin highway association. Its only one dollar and a great thing for the community as las it aids us in securing state and federal aid on roads in this county. ■ -i 1 ■* - There are some problems that have never been worked out successfully 1 since the dawn of creation. One of j them is how to make both ends meet ' in a summer vacation. —Hartford City | News. People who drive through stop signals do not seem to appreciate the dangerous situation they are creating. Apparently having no regard for the safety of others, one would suspect they would be selfish enough to pioteci their own skins. — South Bend Tribune. About twenty-five or thirty can still join the Decatur Country Club, but when the first meeting of membership is held, rules will be adopted and strictly adhered to, governing the acceptance of memberships. The list will be closed from that date and you can only join by application through the waiting list. Mr. Paul Schulte, of Chicago, interested with Mr. Telford in promoting the CountlV Club, expresses himself j as more than delighted with the re-j spouses from local people. They declare they will do every thing ir. their power to warrant the confidence placed in them and indications are that they are doing it. David Lawrence includes Indiana in the doubtful states in the coming election and says indications are that unless a real farm relief bill is passed by the present congress, the next senate will probably be anti-Coolidge and democratic and it doesn’t take a man of as wide experience as Mr. Lawrence to see that. Experts declare that one person in evqrv hundred thousand lives to be one hundred years old. That probably depends however on how fast he drives his car and whether he believe*. in those signs near the railroad tracks which say "danger, watch out for the train." Fort Wayne is suffering from the first water shortage of the year and two stations are closed Water is a rather important necessity in this day and age and in a city of ninety or a hundred thousand we would think it would be wise to provide a sufficient supply to meet all demands. It used to be popular to blame it on Mayor Hosey. Wonder what they will say now. Get your dollar ready for the Benjamin Franklin drive. That amount. ; makes vou a memb r - and there is ao reason why yem should not help secure this great state and federal road, whether you live along it or not Every highway of this kind we get. rgPeves the bounty of that much overhead in maintainence and assures

Charles E. Hears!, of the lowa Farm Bureau declares the republican party has broken its pledge of 1924 and Mr. Settle, of Indiana, adds that the president knows that the Foss hill which he is supporting, cannot pass.
