Doggone hot but what do we care? The corn has Just about caught up with the average for this time of year, wheat and oais and hay and beets are good, every body's busy. Whatever defense Dr. J. Frank Norris. the Dallas minister has for shooting D. E. Chipps to death, he certainly can't talk very loud about "turning the other cheek" or preach very forcefully on "Thou shalt not kill." Texas has au interesting primary campaign on Just now. There are six candidates for the democratic nomination. three men and three women. Mrs. "Ma” Feruson, present governor. is a candidate for re-election and most of those opposing her are against "Ferguson ism." The city force under Street Commissioner Fisher are repairing the down town alleys, a splendid thing to do and long needed. The holes are being rebedded and leveled by the use of old brick. Amos is a firstclass street commissioner by the way. It might li e a good tiling to tell him he is doing his Job well. ltag weeds and other wind-polinat- • ed plants which grow wild cause and aggravate hay fever and when you stpp to consider that one- person out of every one hundred in this part of . the country has that disease, that its annoying and painful, surely you " will want to prevent it all you can. Cut the wjeeds. They ar e unsightly, unhealthy and dirty, they spoil your community and (Ve appearance of - the city. Cut 'em this week. Cut the weeds this week. This is your last chance to comply with the K .’/.fr. ' *■ + 1 «* .... ' ' be required to do so and the costs will be charged to you. Most of us take care of the property near our homes but we forget the vacant lots which are just as important for they are near some one eise’s home. Please cut the weeds tills week. Wc noticed a half dozen cars speeding along north Fifth street last evening, a very dangerous practice because hundreds of children are going and coming from the city park and swimming pool each eveuing. Officers should see that a moderate rate of speed is adopted for that section, in fact there should be no speeding within the city limits. Its dangerous and why should we wait until some terrible accident occurs? We now have *OO members to the Benjamin Franklin highway ami more coming each day. Why would you stay out when a little old dollar gets you a membership card? And it helps so much. The money could have no doubt huve been raised by subscription with far less trouble but its the desire of those back of this movement to have as many people interested as possible and when you have paid oue dollar you have just as much to say as any one else in the organization. Join this week. Arthur Brisbane never misses a chance to declare that President Coolidge will be renominated and elected In 1928, using it so much that even if he believed it he is injuring his own cause. Arthur is one of those fellows who predicts often,

strikes occasionally and theu refers n to those accidental coincidents a* proof of his power as the seventh sou of a seveuth sou. Os course he may bn right on this but he hus a long and weary road ahead if he squares the silent fisherman with Cummins t ' and Watson and Borah and the peoplif j It begins to look as though some of t».ie higher ups in the police organization of Canton will need and get | an airing before the Don Mellette ) murder mystery is cleared. There j seems to he no doubt that they were »in partnership with bootleggers, 1 criminals uml thugs and thats the gravest crime against society we know of. When officers named to enforce law and sworn to do so, willfully permit violations and accept a bribe for doing it, they should be made accomplices to <D'ery crime committed. Ex-Governor James Cox, owner of the j Canton Daily News, is a tighter of | ability and its our guess that when ' he has finished the job, Cantou will be a clean city in fact. The Bluffton Banner and the demo- I cratlc committee of Wells county | conducted a "dollar a democrat campaign last Saturday and s2ll was dropped into the fund which will be forwarded to State Chairman Earl Peters as a contribution for the campaign fund. It requires some definite c action as that taken at Bluffton it ] seems to get the voters to subscribe r to such a fund. We seem to feel 1 that a campaign can be conducted by c money raised from some mysterious and unknown source, but those who have aided in democratic campaigns j, know full well that is only a dream, d If each democrat would give one dol- 1 tar to the state fund, there would bo ‘ plenty of cash to meet all necessaryexpenses. The trouble is most of us t don’t do it, though we all intend to. We congratulate the Wells county d democrats and we favor a similat J day in Adams county and an effort, to beat our neighbors. — o $ ■ SS«OHBCKSSCEKSfICKK*K h S TWENTY YEARB AQO TODAY ■ s * M From th# Dally Democrat File ■ W Twenty Years Ago This Dey K t July 20—Judge K.

There Is in grief u sweetness past compare, A lovely beauty pleasure never finds. When first strikes the blow is hard to bear. We drape the door and draw tile window blinds. So deep the hurt, so cruel is the paiu We wonder shall we ever smile again, Men have no magic that cun soothe the blow, Those who have suffered bid us fb Ire brave They whisper that it may be better so! Better to put your loved oue in a grave? Even the strong in faith that arugment In sorrow's hour will bitterly resent Yet as the days and weeks and months slip by

July 20.—(United Press.) — Some people can get away with any- 1 thing in Montmart.e. It all depends on who you are and what the judge thinks abaul you. Leome Joseph, one! of the "pettier femmes," who play! around the night haunts in the rue Fountaine. has just had the experience.! Leonie and her little pal. Madeleine * Lafarge, wandered from bar to bar until the dawn of May 6, getting gayer and gayer as the night wore along. Then they started for a well-known place where supper and breakfast are served at the same hour, according to whether the customer is Just up or about to retire. In front of the place Leonie espied an automobile. It bore a familiar number. "Oh, it's the bagnole of my Alphonse," she ye'.led to Madeleine. "Suppose we drew profit from the occasion to make a turn of the quanef and then to the Bols." That word "bagnole," by the way, is perfectly good French of the French Academy Dlcfiouiry for "box car," but the habitues of the Midnight Sun quarter of Paris use it for anything on wheels that can covey a traveler where he desires to go In "cinq secs," or five secon'’Leonie was at the wheel and the ,j was speeding up toward the Place

Time heals (he wound ami with a lovely touch Softens the light of sadness In the eye And bids us talk of her we loved so much. / We have such ,-weet remembrances of her. We find our lives are richer than they were. Wc cannot say just why this should be so.

In time you'll find the anguish of despair Is freighted with a sweetness, past compare.

However, after reflection. she deemed it wiser to admit the fqcls and merely blamed the had quality of the liquor site and Madeleine had absorbed. "Worse than ze bootleg of the Americans," she insinuated. The excuse seemed rather thin but it was filled out >o well by Malt re Maurice Blum at the Fourth Police Court. Judge Gose presiding, that Leo nie got out of it with four months suspended sentence. "Now go home and be a good girl." admonished the judge.

The Right Breakfast forWorkers t Eat Food that Supplies “Balanced” Ration After Night’s Fast IF YOU feel tired, hungry, "fidgety” hours before lunch, don't jump to the conclusion of poor health. Thousands have unenergetic mornings because they start days with breakfasts lacking in certain food elements. To feel right, you must have a wellbalanced, complete breakfast ration. At most other meals—lunch and din-ner—-you get it. But breakfast is a hurried meal, often badly chosen. I Thus Quaker Oats, containing 16% protein, food's great tissue builder, 58% carbohydrate, its great energy eler ment, plus all-important vitamincs and the "bulk” that makes laxatives seldom reeded, is the dietetic urge of the Vforld today. »• , It is food that "stands by" you 1 through the morning. Quick Quaker cooks in 3 to ! n minutes. That's faster than plate r toast. Don’t deny yourself the natural stimulation this rich food offers you. ; Quick Quaker
