They work splendidly in many nearby towns and cities. t We need a few more members in r the Franklin Highway Association <1 and developments the next few days will cause every one to believe in the proposed improvement and the effort r to secure it, ii State Chairman Peters is getting his * force at state democratic headquart- 1 ers well organized and when he v breaks loose in the campaign, some c one is going to be badly scared and v it won tbe Woollens and Stump. 11 n Mr. Insull is a liberal "cuss.” He n contributed to the funds for all three e of the senatorial candidates in the f Illinois primary. Since he controlls • a half billion dollars worth of public t utilities in the middle west and needs 1; occasional favors for these companies, I he probably figured it smart to keep <> on good terms with all the boys. e ■ ■ i ii■■ i i— h Chautauqua is next with a program f; that will interest you and will be worth several times what a season I ticket will cost. Chairman Harting | will lead a campaign to make this j the best one ever given here and with s the county school superintendent and ® his force of teachers assisting, there s no reason why it should not be a b real community affair. ,J Jim Voelker who it is claimed • furnished the poison bootleg liquor ..’id*’ j... ' ■*_ 'CtNtt ■ rj " n J " Tf*p'. r>p"ie i.1m.l an paialyzcd in the vicinty of Niagata f Falls and Buffalo, calmly walks into ’ poll e headquarters and gives himself up. He is charged with man- 1 slaughter. Looks to us as though it , should either be murder or suicide. If those who drank the stuff knew it was wood alcohol they didn't care , whether they lived or not, while if ( they didn't know it and Jim did, seems ( like it is wholesale murder. t Warren. Ohio, is no mean city. It boasts a population of 27.050 and has numerous iron and steel industries. It has its good citizens and bad and at times some of them get on "benders" requiring the services of a police force of fifteen men. But the town is broke, flat and completely, and at a meeting of the city council last night an emergency measure was adopted discharging the entire force and calling on the county sheriff tor protection. The chief who has been on the job twenty-seven years is let out with the rest, the action being' taken because there is no way in' which to pay them. Evidently time for some of the citizens to get back of their town. John Godfrey, captain of detectives and Jule Stumps, a detective sergeant. Fort Wayne, went out tc a resort on Haugh street, operated by "Big" Emma Dyer, colored, on the night of the 12th and had a party. Lieutenant Kammer found them but neglected to report them. Eventually the story leaked out and last night the men

were set back a notch, Godfrey belun ’/made a sergeant and Stumps a patrol man while Kummer was given u weeks vacation. We can't understand such punishment. How do you expect law enforcement when police officials . engage in such practises as this and ; are then given a mild rebuke? Surely they should have been slapped on the ’ wrists. The radio is no longer a toy. It is the producer of pleasure and education iu hundred of homes In this community. During the past week or two, there has been an unusual amount of static and some of those who have given most time to the study of it declare that some of the interference is duo to local troubles. We are told that a "trouble shooting" machine can bo obtained for less than one hundred dollars and that with such an Instrument testa can be speedily made which determine the cause of local interference. The radio has become so popular that we believe it would be wise for the city Ito install such a machine which could be operated by the radio organization members without expense and which would please so many folks. This is being asked by a number of the fans and will be decided shortly. Recently a number of rumors seem to have circulated concerning the condition of water in the municipal swimming pool. We are sure the reports are unfounded and that there is not the least reason for any one having fear of contamination or disease as a result of bathing there. The water is purified constantly and every effort is made to make it the best public pool in the state. A sample of the water has been forwarded to the state chemist we understand and a report will be made soon. The pool is the finest improvement of its kind ever made here and deserves the support of the public, not financially but by every one refusing to circulate unfounded reports which alarm some people. We assure you the water in this pool is far purer than that in the lakes and streams in which most of Es have bathed frequently and without condemnation. Lets all be boosters a while instead of pessimists hunting something about which to find fault. Its better for all. ■ TWENTY YEARS AfiO TODAY ■ M 1 '—■ ■ * ” ■ From the Dally Demonrot FH» ■ H Twenty Yeare Age Thio Day H ■ RSEEEENaEEM■ ■■■■ July 28.—Dellas Butler painfully hurt when he was kicked in the face by a horse.

Where there's neither hate nor sin Nor the cruelty and care Os the greedy world out there. Hurry in and sit you down. And forget the noisy town. Shut the door and put away All the burdens of the day. Come and let them stroke your cheek. Let them laugh to hear you speak Here all selfish bickering cease. Here are love and rest and peace.

While he has been back to Blair county on several occasions, this is the first time that he motored here and iu speaking of the trip he compared the speedy transportation of the motor car and the excellen roads encountered with the outgoing trip of forty some years ago with a team of horses over muddy roads. The mountains of Pennsylvania are new to Mr. Dilling's children, and during the past few days the visitors have been motoring o'er the highways in this part of the state. On Sunday they were taken through the Trough Creek valley In Huntington county, a section noted sot its wild mount tin scenery. They are now in Morrison's Cove and Mr. Dilling will spend some days there going over the scenes of his boyhood days.” — o Ben Lange made a- business trip to Fort Wayne this morning in the interest of the Joseph aud Lange store. 0 NOTICE OF MEETING Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of the stockholders of■ th eOld Adams County Bank will be{ held at this banking house in Decatur, Indiana at 10 o’clock a- m. on Tuesday, Aug. 3, 1926, for the purpose of electing nine directors for the ensuing year and to transact such, other business as may come before them.
