Foreign Representative: Carpenter & Company, 122 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Watch the stop signs on the through street approaches. If you rush through you are not only taking a chance but you are endangering the lives of those n the other cars who expect you to obey the police orders. Harold Lloyd, tilm performer, drew a total of $1,500,000 for his work the last year, an average of $30,000 petweek or $5,000 per day. Wonder what John Drew and some of the real actors think of that? Os course even that salary wouldn’t attract most of us if we had to hang on to the top of a forty story building by one ear, as his pictures show him. _ -.i i Among those who have endorsed i the corn and dairy show for next i October are Mayor George Krick and Couqty Agent Bust-lie. They believe i it a splendid plan and will lend their i assistance in making it a success. It 1 can be a county event of great benefit i if we enter in to the plan with the i right ideas, that of really giving a i corn and dairy show in the best i county in the middle west. What do , you say Shall we do it or not? i Brisbane is boosting Mr. Coolidge . for another nomination for the presi- ( dency 'because he carried the state of New York with a vote of nearly two million. He also carried Indiana I by a couple of hundred thousand but j few people would guess lie could i com-- within half a million of doing | it today. Careful Cal who talks I economy but spends a heap more than any other president has, will not be the nominee unless conditions change considerably within the next two years. 1 ■ ■■ - I Hundreds us people have looked 1 over the bine print map of ‘hi proposed ’ ' :i Franklin highway w. ■ .... . is a splendid movement which deserves support. However many of those who have looked it over have so far failed to drop their dollar into the fund which is designed to pay the S4OO assessment against this county. Just now the best way to show that you arc really for Decatur being on this Important route is to become a member of the organization and your i card costs just one dollar. Surely it its worth anything to you, its worth that. Come oil in with a dollar. Don Mellett, whom we knew well and who was recognized as one of the brilliant young publishers prrF duced in Indiana, was shot to death Thursday evening by a gang of gamblers and bandits in Canton, Ohio, where for two or three years he has been in charge of the Canton News, owned by the Ron. James Cox, of Dayton, Mellett through the News has made a campaign against gambling. crime and corruption, has received warnings and telephone calls which threatened his life if he did not let up. Fearlessly he went on that he might rid his city of the influence of criminals and his death was that of a hero. Mr. Mellett was a brother of Jesse Mellett, former mayor of Anderson and was for several years editor ot th e Ledger at Columbu.-. Indiana. His asssassins should be hunted down and punished to the fullest extent of the law. The old tariff question will again be ah issue in the coming campaign

with democratic position decidedly f the better If the people understand U. They are not opposed to a tariff for revenue or for a tariff uctually needed for protection but they do oppose and rightly a tariff scheduled tor but one purpose and that to raise prices t on commodities which do not noed a tailir for any national reason. The one great cause of the depression to farmers for several years past has ! been a tariff law which protects those > from whom they must buy materials • but does not provide any adjustment • for prices on farm products. Woollen i and Stump who are democratic nomiI lies for senator in this slate have accepted the challenge from Watson aud Robinson of the republican ticket and the tariff question will be discussed from one end of Indiana to the other during the next few months. There is no reason why every voter should not thoroughly understand the position of each party. It seems to be natural when we hear of some of our friends being ill or having been injured to rush to the hospital or their home or where ever they may be to see them. Often times we rush in and express our sympathies and talk about how serious similar ailments have been to others we have known and by thus doing leave the patient in worse condition than when we went. We don't mean to but unless we think what we are doing we had very often better stay away. Under proper conditions visits to sick people are beneficial and an article in Hygeian says: “A visitor should be cheerful and quiet, should choose appropriate topics of Conversation, but should not talk too much; should limit the visit to the time allowed by nurse or physician, and should make the leave-taking a-, brief as possible. The patient may ask the visitor to read to him or to do some errand, but the visitor should refrain from rearranging the bed or anything iu the sick room unless requested to do so. The visitor should never suggest remedies or cures, and it is best not to discuss the Illness at all unless the patient persists in doing so himself.
