The program will be supervised by a competent juvenile worker and the parents are invited to send their children to th e big tent on Liberty Way.

A banker in Morristown. N. J., celebrated his 104th birthday the other day. He retired from active business when he was one hundred years old. but still keeps in touch with business affairs and Arthur Brisbane remarks that in years to come it will be considered a disgrace to die under 14" years. That should be good news for the golf players and those who engage in airplane flying. A week ftom Monday is Labor Day , hnd the vacation period will be over. ’The children will return to school and , college, mother will dig up the blankets and dad will think how he is going to pay for the winter's supply of coa'. The crisp cool days will bring about renewed energy and if like other years Hoosiers will enjoy the Indian summer and season of the yzai’ vr-kcn you love to be out-of-doors. Senator Jim Watson is traveling around the state trying to tell the 'farmers how he fought to have the farmer’s relief bill passed in the last session of congress and how he wants to help them. Sounds good to some ears, but many a farmer who is working up to late at night these days would think that he ; , really meant what he said it he would join the threshing gang. Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pick ford —man and wife of course—returned from a trip around the world yesterday. Mary stating that they cut their stay abroad short, because there was so much to see in America. It s •must be wonderful to travel around with no thought in mind except to see the sights and compare them with what you have seen and to th e average person a trip through the east, west or north in this country would be considered a real fling in a lifetime. How would you like to be the mayor of New York City? When Gertrude Ederle, first woman who swam the English channel, arrived in New York yesterday, Mayor Walker was granted the privilege of stepping up and kissing her. “Trudy” seems not to },e swayed by the publicity given her feat and on the other hand goes about like a sensible person. Her manner Is wholesome and she is being acclaimed on allpsides in this country and no doubt is looked at w ith envy by those who would like to be in her place. it you are not qualified to vote in

A day with friends, away from care And al! the burdens men must bear; Away from every urgent need. - "From selfishness and petty greed. > Where talk Is nil of books and plays ' And by-gone joys of yesterdays. 1 A day with friends- and let it' be > Beneath some spreading maple tree, ' When- noise and clamor never break * The calm which sky and meadow make; Where never traffic’s dusty pace Riots out the beauty of the place. Where, each for all and all for each,

the November election and wish to avail yourself of this privilege—like all good Americans should —you will have the opportunity to register at the court house on and after September 4th. The registration board will be in session for thirty days and those who have moved from their voting precinct since the last election, those who failed to vote in 1924, those who have become of age since 1924 and those who have changed their name by marriage or divorce since 1924, must register next month if they wish to vote. It costs nothing to register and then if you wish to vote you can do it. Adams county is a corn growing community and with corn the raising of hogs goes hand in hand. Last year this county lead the state in having the largest number of ton litters and so far this year it looks as if Joe Habegger, one of the progressive farmers in Monroe township will lead the state in having three ton litters, averaging 2,675 pounds to the litter. The farmers of Adams county know how to do it and for that reason you hear less complaints in this county than in others. It takes work and Application and any one who drives through the county will vouch that th e farmers of this splendid comcomunity deserve all the success they obtain. Fine work Mr. Habegger and may you reap the profits. Throughout the state an organized appeal is now being made to demo'crats to help in the “Dollar-a-Demo-crat” plan to finance the democratic campaign in Indiana this fall. County chairmen and vice chairmen, precinct committeemen and committeewomen and interested party workers are or soon will be soliciting the gift of a dollar each from party members. It i imi much to give. Yet 'ed together, the dollars of loyal democrats and other interested citizens of this Hoosier commonwealth will make up the funds necessary to meet the legitimate expenses without which a vigorous and aggressive campaign cannot be waged. And a vigorous and aggressive campaign is going to be waged. The needs of the Hoosier state for relief from the burdens of state taxation and of tariff discrimin-

There Is no cunning in the speech; No thought of profit), save the gain In liveliness of heart and brain And those more lasting riches wrought By friendly ’ftSsrchange of thought.

The tax rate for the school city next year will be the same as that in effect this year, a total of >1.40 on each one hundred dollars valuation. The rate will raise less money than this year, due to the drop in valuations. The total to be raised by taxation next year is $92,937.47. as compared with $98,834.76. which was raised with the same rate this year, bjit figured on a higher valuation. It takes nearly $60,000 alone for paying of teacher’s salaries and more than half of that amount for general operating expenses. Bonds for the new school building, together with interest must also be paid and the school board has only one way of raising the tfunds and that is by taxation. The Decatur schools are well comhteted and no one will object to the money being spent for value is well given and excellent training is furnished our and girls. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ * BIG FEATURES * ♦ of RAD I O * + ♦ *«««>««««***«*•* SUNDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES Copyright 1926 by United Press Central standard time throughout WPG.

fe_jW Good Name sa * priceless and therefore jealously upheld * - - Dodge Brothers have kept the faith. Year after year their motor car has continued to mature into a better and better product Beauty has been added to dependability, comfort and silence to beauty. Endless refinements have been made, and the basic sources of Dodge Brothers quality maintained in every detail. As a consequence, the name Dodge Brothers is even more valuable than the great Dodge Brothers plant itself, and eminently worthy of the public confidence it everywhere inspires. The public may rest assured that a Good Name so priceless will be safeguarded jealously by those who hold its destinies in their hands. - Tnnrinx Car SB4B Coupe Bf>9 Sedan 950 Delivered Saylors Motor Co.
