Scheerer, Inc., ( 35 East Weaker Drive Chicago 200 Filth Avenue, New York ■■- . - , HONOR A I GREAT AUTHOR:— ( (The Western Christian Advocate) ( • The little city of Decatur, Ind., is ■ determined to keep the coming gen- ( erations in that vicinity in the knowl- , edge that Gene Stratton Porter lived most of her life in that county. Recently a fifty-ton boulder was set in , (th,. courthouse yard of Adams coun- t 1y and a tablet placed thereon in t memory of the noted author. We s learn she went to that city as a , bride and there her only child was , born. Later she moved to Geneva, ( Ind., a short distance away and from c there sent out the first product 1 of , her pen for publication. f It should also be recorded that it c was The Methodist Book Concern. a through the agency of the Epworth Herald, which discovered her versatile talent and published her first r stories. Adams county was her home a for over twenty-five years. r The "Limberlost” and its environs y supplied the inspiration for books <s that brought nature closer to the ( hearts of millions. } From the bed of the St. Mary's / river, a mile from Decatur, "Elephant j Rock" was removed with great diffi- a eulty to Decatur and placed upon a t tnound in the courthouse yard. The boulder is perhaps the largest in Indiana. The memorial will be dedi- a cated in September. Only once, to the knowledge of her n husband, did Mrs. Porter ever refer t to her death. One evening as she c and her husband sat upon the porch f of "Limberlost Cabin." she said: “I t should like to be burier under that tl tree, and a huge boulder rolled upon c my grave. I want no towering monument." The beautiful nature stories Mrs t Porter wrote wff) f<-i !V; ? ■' to make glad the heart and I Vnind of those who love good books, t "The Girl ol the L'mberloft," “The <| Song of the Cardinal," “Freckles," s and other stories will be read by y people for years to come. The peo- 1 pie of Decatur, Adams county, Indiana. should be commended for their forethought and consideration and <i appreciation of one of Indiana's most 4 outstanding literary personalities. The merger of the Holland-St. J Louis Sugar Company with the Continental Company of Toledo will | make this one of the soundest and ; best institutions of its kind in the country, if the deal is completed ' today as now seems more than probable the future of the beet sugar industry in this section will be assured. Relations of the people here with the officers and employes of the Holland-St. Louis Company have been most pleasant and satisfactory and we are all hoping that the men who have a wide acquaintance here and have the confidence of the people will continue with the new organization. We advance to the Con-tinental-Holland Company our best wishes tor success. An old French parliament law of 1770 and still in force? that is never repealed though perhaps not often used reads as follows, listen girls:— “Whoever lures into marriage any male subject of his majesty by moms of cosmetics and any kind of fecial fraud o.- perfume or artificial teeth or false hair or woolen wrappings around skinny legs or iron cor-

Ono hundred fifty year* ago This land we love was born. Then did the happy bugles blow On such a lovely morn? And were the skies as fair to see As tho«e which bend o'er you and me? I wonder did our fathers dream That we should meet today With eyes that fairly dance and gleam To .fug glad hymns and pray? I wonder did they guess that wo The happies race on earth should be? Our wise forefathers, bravo and bold, Knew one fact to be true: That God will prosper men who hold

Do you suppose that some of the girls, even in that ancient day, who had the come hither” in their eyes, were trying to fool some of the Innocent boys? Must have been. The city council is considering a proposed ordinance to take care of the parking of automobiles, regulation of traffic, through streets and all things pertaining to the very important matter of regulation of automobile driving. It is necessary that rules and laws be made to take care of this problem as uniformity is needed. The matter of providing free parking space near the heart of the city is also being investigated, a splendid idea and a step ahead. Evans Woollen is one of the big men of Indiana, a business man and a statesman, a mighty fine gentleman with every qualification to serve you as a member of the United States senate. He is a candidate for the place and he is coming here August 11 to meet the people of Adams county. He will be accompanied by a number of party leaders | and you are urged to join the recep-1 tion. Give the visitors attending the auction school a hearty welcome and suet, asslstince ale necessary to make them comfortable and to cause them to be real boosters for this community.

Aug 4—Definition of ( the tariff issue by Evans Woollen, j Democratic nonimnee for the short 1 term of United States Senator from ! Indiana, and his calling on Senator 1 James E. Watson to defend the Ford- 1 ney- McCumber Law. have caused a < I great deal of discussion outside as ’ ■ well as in that State. 1 Mr. Woollens position is receiving favorable comment from leaders of t the Democratic Party, and from oth- c ers who have concluded tariff reform 1 is essential to genuine farm relief t and the national welfare. 1 Indiana elects two Senators tjhis I year. Mr. Woollen and a'.MTt Stump J are the Democratic nominees re- 1 spectiviely against Senators Arthur t R. Robinson and James E. Watson. ] Woollen and Stump are proving to be j very strong campaigners—so strong 1 that Watson men who cam- to Wash ington the other day to ask for help | said the Indiana Senators are "up ..,.2"'? ‘ ‘ '•-•«(» Woollen's definition of the tariff issue follows: “No one Is proposing free trade. • No one proposes to jump from pro- < tection to free trade. What we propose is tariff duties whose objective is effective competition between foreign I and domestic producers. What we ; propose is first the immediate sub- I sfitutjon of a moder#tje ’tariff act and. thereafter, slowly progressive re- < duction for revenue only. “In that progressive reduction while anxious not to disturb business imprudently or unfairly, we should al- ' ways think of the consumer for whom in much tariff revision there has been , no thought at. all. We should always think also of the farmer for whom , there has been too little thought. “The Democratic Party proposes to face in the other direction, to begin a movement downward, to take plunder out of tariff, to substitue moderation, to replace the present act by an act generally similar to the Underwood Tariff Act. “I believe the principle of protec- . tion is unsound, but it is established in this country, vested interests are involved, and no one thinks we can get rid of it in on e election. Let us not fight battles about bogeys. I. for one. in this campaign am not discussing abstractions and generaliza- , tions. I am discussing specific realities. I am attacking the iniquities of the Fordney-McCumber tariff act Defend that act.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1926.

KNOW YOUR STATE INDIANA Is one of the first states of the Union to undertske a coordination of its promotional efforts, the enterprise which brought (about a cooperative effort among thirtyone state wide groups and aanoclations for the study of Indiana industrial opportunities, based upon a scientific research, la being used as a model in five states which have made Inquiry of its plans and purposes thru the Ind- , iana State Chamber of Commerce, . the operating agency. Ing of"the British Aaaociatioci for the Advancement of Science. Three hundred papers, ranging in subject from the addroswes on "The Effect on African Native Races of Con tact with European Civilization’’ to “The Determination of Sex in Plants” will be presented by members before the final session next Wednesday. The British Association os undoubtedly the greatest scientific forum and Its meetings have long been battlegrounds where the blood of conflicting scientific thought Is spilled. At the last meeting of the Association held here in 1894, the Marquis of Salisbury, then President of the Assosiation engaged in the famous controversy with Huxley over the Darwinian theory and again brought the subject to world-wide attention. Previously in ' 1860, at the meeting here, Wilburforce and Hooker became engaged in a violent controversy on the same subject. It is possible that the discussion on “The Evolution of Human Races'; A Review of the Modern Position." scheduled tor next Monday, may again open the subject to a general debate. Any member of the association may present an approved paper on any subject for the consideration of his fellows. Approval of proposed papers is readily available. The principal addresses by members of the association at the present meeting include: “The Scope of Organic Chemistry," by Prof. J. F. Thorpe,F.R.S.; "Progress in the Study of the British Lower Carboniferous Rocks," by Prof. S. H. Reynolds; “inheritance as an Economic Factor,” by Sir Josiah Stamp, K.8.E.. the annual Botany address by Prof. F. O. Bower. I F.R.S.; “The Economic Development: of British Tropical Africa," by Hon.' W. Armsby-Gore. M. P.; "Function and Design." by Prof. J. B. Leathes. F.R.S Informal discussions by various sectionsof members which will be held during the session include: "The Financial Outlook; The First -Day Scientific Problems in Fuel; Inheritance of Physical and Mental Characters in 1 Man; Recent Advances in Educational Science; The Conception of a Species; Refrigeration; Tautomerism; Vegetative Propagation; Petrogenesis as a Physico-Chemical Problem, and The Educational Calue of the Cinema and Wireless Broadcasting." o CONTRACT LET EIGHTH STREET (CONTINUED FROM FAiSE OWE) ~«. , clerk to advertise for bids again. Other Council Matter* The plans and specifications for the improvement of th e Johns street sidewalk were filed and referred to the street and sewer committee. A petition for a cement sidewalk on Russell street was filed and referred to the street and sewer committee. A hearing of those property owners affected by the Madison street sidewalk improvement, in front of the Smith and Bell property and the National hotel, will be held by the council on September 7. The finance committee allowed a number of bills and the session adjourned. — — o CORN BORER IS NEAR STATE LINE (COXTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) found the first time. Marketing only shelled corn, cleaning up all weeds and cornstalks and burning the rubbish before May. providing more silos and corn shredders to takexare of the wodder safely and keeping more livestock to utilize the silo and shredder products are some of the combative regulations that Defiance county must employ. County Agent C. W. Vandervort said today after the wide spread of the corn borer had been revealed. Seek Cooperation In sections where the borer has been prevalent tor about five years the damage to corn fields has amounted to nearly 100 per <cent. This is particularly true of Canada but it is felt that better cooperation among the farmers here in adopting the control measures under the leadreship of the county agent will help check the pest and prolong the period before such serious loss need result.

Kidneys and Back Made Life Miserable Says He’s Full of Pep Now, and Pains are All Gone. “I suffered with pains in my kidneys and back for three years. My back at times seemed as if it would break in two. I was tired out most of the time, and when I came home from work I just felt like I wanted to lie down. I lost flesh until I only weighed 155 pounds. Nothing I took did me any good till I found Viuna, and after taking only one bottle I was wonderfully relieved. My back stopped aching and I began to get some pep. My appetite picked up and I began to gain weight till I now weigh 170 pounds (a gain of 15 pounds), and feel fine and eat anything.”—Curtis Chappell, 1130 East St. Clair St., Indianapolis, Ind. • Viuna act* promptly on sluggish h.r.weis, lazy liver and weak kifeera.
