What about a Dollar Day, a fall festival or the county Dairy and corn •how? The fair aur chautauua will be over next week and it's time we plan for something now if we’re going to make a success of it. A maniac was refused a loan of $2,000 so he blew up the bank killing himself and a bank employe. These are trying days for the banker and in the Pittsburg case it was either give or tak e the consequence. Pola Negri, who claims to have been engaged to Valentino is rushing across the country to attend the latter's funeral. She will wear a mourning dress that cost $3,000. Many doubt her love or sincerity for the dead movie hero and believe that its jus: another publicity seeking case. There seems to be a difference of opinion regarding the damage to the maple trees from the cottony maple scale. The opinion has been given that the scale will not injure the trees. Others believe that it will. In some cases it has been reported that the scale was injuring the trees and if this is true the trees should be sprayed. Decatur has beautiful shade trees and we dare not let them die. It s taking about as long to appre- . ... .«<u<. •/ Canton edito:, who was murdered because of tiis newspaper attacks on Cantona underworld as it does to prosecute Albert B. Fall for ’selling , out" in the oil scandal of a few years ago. Most people have forgotten about fills scandal and with a corps of tricky lawyers the former secretary of the interior in President Hard•ing's cabinet goes on unmolested. It looks as if the present attorney-gen-eral, in the interest of good government. might demand that some action be taken in the case. News stories tell us that Rudolph Valentino, sheik movie star whose untimely death occurred Monday, earned and spent about one million dollars lust year. You remember the booji, "Biewster's Millions" and what a time* the hero had to spend the million dollars left him by a rich uncle. Nowadays’a man can spend a million and the world does not take notice to it. In justice to Valentino it was said that he gav e and lent with a free hand and to the ordinary fellow it seems almost impossible to spend such a huge sum of money merely on living. Os course he lived and traveled like a king — probably better than most monarchs and as his money came easy, so did it go. Most stars who make their money easy spend it in a like manner and that seems to keep things moving and harder for the other fellow to keep up. As far as we have been able to learn the township, county, school and city officials are endeavoring to lower the Budgets and tax rates for next year. In the county the general rate will be reduced and If it was not for the fact that additional bridges had

to be built next year a furthoc reduc--1 tion could have been made. The bridges which were built years ago i- before the days of automobiles, have through heavy usage been rendered unsafe and as a natural consequent« must be rebuilt. Several of the townships have lowered the levy for next year, in the city of Decatur. we understand that the levy will not be any higher, even though a drop of more than one hundred thousand dollars in the essessed valuation of property was suffered this year. The city budget will raise less than a year ago, and we believe that the taxpayer has received value for every [fenny expended and is satisfied with the general running of public affairs and the way the tax money has been exp- ded. We will always have to pay taxes as long as we have governments and demand improved roads, tine school houses and other improvements which the people are entitled to and which must be paid for. o +♦♦+♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦+ + + ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY + + . + ♦ From the Daily Democrat File + ♦ Twenty Years Ago This Day. ♦ I ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦ + ♦♦ + + ♦ + ♦♦ + ♦♦ + August 25.- Samuel Kunkle, of Monmouth, celebrates his S 6 birthday.
