Schcerer, Inc., 30 East Wecker Drive Chicago 200 Fifth Avenue, New York Meet Mr and Mrs. Woollen tomor row. They will spend the morning in. Adams county. That fancy figurer at Washington has doited it out that each mosquito bite costs ninety cents. If you want any. better get your order in now before the tariff schedule advances the value. Now just think of it, the President has added another accomplishment, he can roll a cigarette with one hand. Do you realize what that means —he doesn't have to put his fish pole down when he wants to smoke. * I Tomorrow is Woollen day in Deca tur and if you are interested in the future welfare of the country you will meet this splendid Indiana citizen and liaten to what he has to say concerning the most important problems of the hour. i Will Rogers says that even though the United States has offered to settle the French debt at “about five cents on the dollar,” the “frogs” are Still pouting and the only way we can please them is to pay them for the privilege and Bill seems to be about right about it. I Come to democratic headquarters tomorrow morning and meet Mr ( Woollen and the other leaders who are accompanying him on his tour ( over this section. This is a get , acquainted meeting and you are urg ed to come and to join the party ( which will, tour the countv. ■ ■ .:. deucy, ; • 11;«« •' Pomerene, if he is nominated and elected and Governor Dpheney if he ' can put it over in November. By the 1 same kind of arithmetic we might ' present Evans Woollen and Albert ‘ Stump. t Forty-five people drowned over the week-end. a heavy toll even for this time of the year. An unusually large wave caught many bathers along Lake Erie and swept most of them out to sea. Just how many were lost cannot be stated but fifteen or twenty bodies have been recovered. Even those who call themselves good swimmers cannot be too careful. Have you bought your Chautauqua tickets? Os course you are going to and of course your money will be acceptable at any time up to the day of opening But it will be of great help to the committee for you to take care of your share of tickets early this year so the plans for the 1927 Chautauqua can be worked out in advance. Along some of the main roads in Ohio state police and militia guards are stopping automobiles to prevent the spread of the corn borer. Os course if you want to badly enough and are mean enough not to care what happens to your neighbor, you can bootleg gre’n corn but any way they are making a reai effort over there to prevent it. ■U ' LL-'J Mrs- Wheatcraft, who is causing so touch trouble in the republican ranks, must be either a trouble maker or a very smart woman, we haven’t bees able to figure which.

THE EXAMPLE

With brazen lips he told his lies In petty rage he swore, He little thought that youthful eyes See daily more and more But little Tom, he loved so well Disturbed him by the lies he'd tell. He sent his child to Sunday school, “ 'Tls right to go,” said he, “A boy should learn the Golden Rule If happy he would be.” Hut Torn observed, though he was sent-' To church his father never went.

grabs about every job that comes up and seems to get away with it. Just, now she is head of the republican I women in Indiana and refuses to give up her place even to take the Chicago senatorial secretaryship. She 1 admits she is capable of doing both jobs and doesn't seem to care wheth * er there are enough to go around or not. There is one fine thing about the talking' movies now so popular in! New York. They get you away from the fellow behind you who is always explaining the film in advance. It has been officially announced that the skirts will be shorter this autumn but that don't mean that the bills won't be longer. The republicans are trying to get their state organization harmonized ivo they can start the campaign about the first of next month. The democrats have been organized and going for ten weeks and its the results of this organization that is causing the unbasiuess in the Watson camp just now. ■ i i .. "■ • Where "dollar days” are given by the merchants, there is a big increase in business. To our knowledge these events have been tried in Decatur but twice and both times most successfully. Why don t we have them oftener? We can't understand why the merchants do not make this extra effort, and Rs not very difficult, to increase trade in this community. A by „ot try it out during August 'and V ... . ' : Ji'tle talking about it in an organized way. By that we mean by every merchant offering something a little different from his competitor. It will attract attention for a radius of twenty miles or more and will be more than worth while. o — REPPERT AUCTION SCHOOL NOTES i The Reppett Auction School reports a 100 per cent attendance of its students at church last Sunday. Four new students enrolled in the School Monday morning. John Letham. the dean of pedigree and live stock judging, reported for duty this morning. The sale Monday evening was a success. with a large crowd in attendance. The sale was preceded by the' usudl street parade of the students.! The public is invited to attend the J sales to be held every night this week, and next. At the class meeting held Monday, the following motto w-as chosen: “Learn More—Earn More”, The motto is appropriate for any line of business, and especially for the auction profession. The big feature of this evening’s auction sale will be an entertainment given by Mr. and Mrs. Tom Marker. Mr. Marker was a student in the Auction school in August. 1926. and is remembered by Decatur people. Mr. and Mrs. Marker are entertainers of note and we assure you an enjoyable evening. o Ice-Cream Social at Monmouth The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Concord church will hold an ice-cream social at the Monmouth school building. Wednesday evening. The public is invited to attend. Get the Habit—Trade st Home, it Pays

But oft had courage stayed, And had we truly tried We know we could have made The goal which was denied. Fight, ere it be too late! Work, while hope flickers still! Lose if you must to Fate, Hut not to lack of will.

Tom oft was told he mustn't say The things his father said, He heard good counsel day by day But in his little head There ran the though the things forbid Were just the things his parents did. , Now hear the father's doleful sighs: “Our boy is such a care! The lad deliberately lies! His mother’s in despair. many faults has little Tom!. We wonder where he gets them from ."

Evans woollen By Meredith Nleholzon “Howe Woollen? He was au unusually able student when he *#• in college He ba# a ainewy mind.” 1 The epeaker w»s one of the moat , distinguished membera of the faculty of Yaie University; the time twentyfive years sgo; the place a farm In the Connecticut Hill# I had stopped for a day to pay my reapect# to the eminent scholar and naturally he asked ms about Indiana men who had aat under hi# teaching That word "ainewy" haa remained with nee. aa a happy characterization of the vlgorou# Intellectual powers of Evan# Wodllen. And now that he • haa become a candidate for Tinted States senator in his native state 1 am moved to exorciae the right of an old friendship to say a few things about him which are not generally known. I have known him for forty year#. My grandparents were friends of hl» grandparents in Marion County many years before the Civil War. Both his father and mother were countryborn and country-bred. Evans was his toother's family name. Both Evans and Woollen are names scattered far back through the records of pioneer Indiana I have been amused to find in the Republican press references to Evans Woollen as a banker and a capitalist with the implication that he is to be counted among the spoiled darlings of the rich. Every nickel he owns has been earned by hi# own exertions He took hi# college course partly on borrowed money and the rest he earned by tutoring and doing other jobs in his vacation. Both hia father and. mother were endowed witli unusual mental gifts They were not bent upon money-making but lived for the better things of life. “Plain living and high thinking" was the rule of the Woollen borne. Woollen struck hard sledding when he came home from college but ha turned himself diligently to the business of trying to make a place for himself in the world. The law was hia goal, but his needs were immediate and urgent. He took such employment as offered and sometimes cariied on several jobs at once. I was just beginning newspaper work on the Indianapolis Sentinel when he joined the staff aa reporter, f don't know when he slept in those days. for bis newspaper connection wa# only one of several employments and his work davs were twenty-four hour# long. To me he has still the look of earnest, indomitable youth that challenged sty admiration in those early hard years. How the man worked! And what a fine spirit he brought to all his undertakings And he remains the most conscientious man I have ever known He never skimped a job I in his life. That sinewy mind, which > they admired and still remember at I Yale, has away of taking firm he’d I on e”ery quesiion and wrestling with I ft. testing it in every way. He hasn't I a grasshopper intelligence; he doesn't I jump at conclusions I have consulted I him on every conceivable question in I the course of time and always with I satisfaction. If ha isn't certain he will I aay so His yes or no is uttered in I the same tone, but either is definite I •nd final. J Fate has played some curious trjeks. I with Woollen. After much labor and I effort he had got Vimselt started in I S.** £'*■■'*-. 5■:.-Lx2-f 1 "'found' itself in 'need st‘fiAUasel- tj-.at'l is to say a lawyer who would also j pass upon credits.

These I were ths departments In which he I specialized in college and he has (or- I titled theory with broad practical ex- I perience The bank employed him b»|| cause of his varied abilities, good I judgment and unquestioned integrity. 11 When he toak his place in the bank.] he had only enough stock to qualify || him for a place on the directorate He 1 was hired as an expert, much as an I industrial enterprise employs a caps-!] ble engineer. | Ten years after he left college. Yale j was still trying to eoax him back with | a view to preparing him to succeed ] the eminent William Graham Sumner | in the chair of political economy. ] The last time the offer earne I re- I member our talk about ft. The col-| lege offered to send him abroad for I a year to study before he joined the I faculty. I advised him to accept. Ha I refused and was right in refusing. 1 Woollen is a Democrat by convic- I tlon. His family were all Republicans I even to his remotest cousins It I would have been murj to his interest I when he was starting out in life if I he had proclaimed himself a Repub-'] Mean. But his ideals led him else-J Where. It has always been his way J to think for himself with that very I capable thinking machine with which I Almighty God endowed him. ! The people of Indiana need not I expect any comedy or bunk from I Evans Woollen as he makes bis cam- I pgige He know# why he D a Dem- I ocrat and with a fine economy .of I words he will tell the folks about it. I Woollen makes you think In my j long and intimate acquaintance 1,1 always find myself trying to appear I sane and>eenßibl<» when I talk to him ’I If he wore to •ummai’ize his political j faith I think bo might say that what j bo wants a«a rigiiia and Justice for all the people of America. i Woollen Is not one of the roaring good who puts his arm round you and tells you funny stories ‘ His eharm is of a different sort He 4s a gentleman with all the simplicities and sincerities connoted by the word A man of fine loyalties and •ytopathies is Woollen. He has given vastly of his time and strength to ! furthering good causes.
