Edward Bosse ] started <>n a canvas of the city. He ( is meeting with splendid success and , indications are that he will put it v over in a very fine way. Its only one | dollar, no assessments, an important c cause. Don’t hesitate. Just hand n Ed your dollar and get your card.

Did you read the program for the Vourth of July celebration in last evenings paper? Didn’t it thrill you? Don’t you feel that it will be an oldfashioned and high class event, to which you are safe in taking your family and your friends? Those supporting the event have worked earnestly to make the celebration here the best in the country and one glance at the big program should convince you. It will be given as advertised and if you don’t get ready to spend the day at Bellmont park you are passing up something worth while Th ( > day program is splendid and the fireworks display will be wonderful. .; r-s It is reported that one of the police men employed by the state was arrested in Madison county recently, charged with driving his automobile while intoxicated. .He is said to have plead guilty and a thirty-day jail sentence was imposed but suspended during good behavior. The surprise is that this man was put back on the job and given the right to arrest decent folks on minor charges. Con sequcntly Mr. Schortemeler, secretary of state and a candidate for reelection is just now having some difficulty in explaining the ‘‘pull” that permitted this "John Doe” to con tinue to wear a state uniform. Bv a vote of more than 'wo to ...... T — J. o-ao'.;. . This 'wM'.vt-fie bill advocated by President Coolidge so that his representatives may go to the farmers in the coming election with th e tale that he tried to put through a bill of this nature. It might work politically were it not for the fact that every farm organization in the country opposed it because i'| w;i. simply designed to give the farmer greater borrowing power but provided no means which they considered ample for producing a profit which would allow them to pay debts rather than contract more. Stock prices soared, early 'this year, when business critics insisted that they hadn’t any business soaring. Yet it made millions feel good. Then they went down; and it was explained plausibly enough that that was because thfcy had gone up. and as everybody knows, what goes up must come down. That made businc.l;., generally feel doleful. Lately they have been rising again, at a time when many observers are perfectly sure that, generally speaking, ana on the whole, and taking things by and large, there is no legitimate reason whatever for their rising. Still, that makes business men feel better. Sooner or later they will go down again, of course. Then business men will feel worse again. And so on and on. It doesn't require any great amount of acuteness to inter that perhaps stock quotations go up and down chiefly because it is by the ups and downs that Wall street brok ers and bankers make their money, As the most trustworthy business analysts, are beginning to remark, the

Stock Exchange is no longer a dei pendable barometer of business, If It ever was. The less America keeps its eyes glued to the ticker tape, and the more it focusses ou constructive jobs, lhe better for America. The membership list for the Decatur Country club will be closed with whatever the membership is when lhe annual meeting is held. No one connected with the organization is desirous of insisting or forcing any one to join the club unless they fori they can affqrd It and will recelv e returns commensurate with the cost. The response here has been very wonderful and Mr. Telford has frequently expressed his satisfaction, his pleasure and his surprise at the splendid manner in which the campaign here was conducted. If you desire to join this association which will provide so much and so varied entertainment during the months and years to come, you now have the opportunity to do so by purchasing a life membership for the very low price of >IOO. That this will grow in value is assured. After the next few days you can only become a member by placing your name -on the waiting list. —o
