Plenty of amusement and attrac tions tliis week, including a three-ring circus iu Herne last evening. Have your fin for tne vacation period is coming to a close. Not that we want it stopped, bu'. Ijpw docs Governor Jackson get by with letting the state lair operate on Sunday, when a year or so ago he stopped the motorcycle races? The boom in Florida may uot be going as good as it did last wintet but a recent edition of the Tampa Times, containing 104 pages reached our desk today, which gives every indication or plenty of business am much activity in that well-known city Well, who's the next person going to swim the English channel? Yes terday a man, native of Germany swam the channel in less than IT hours, lowering the record of Miss Ederle by nearly two hours. This sport scents to be a daily pastime am if the successful contestants get any thing out of it ail well and good. Fo: us the municipal swimming poo’ furnishes thrill enough. I,as: week’s, issue of the Country Gentleman, leading farm paper of th< country, in a leading article states that the farmeis are paying $400,000, 000 for ''protection” as a result o! the high tariff duties and do not re ceive anything in return. The more the farmers study this tariff questioi they are becoming convinced that Senator Watson is wrong on his stand and that they are paying the bill. What do the republicans stand so: this year? Young Teddy lloosevel in recent '-•weehos advocates reje 1 tion of the world court amt praise: I M***'«*«**.» -~«*«**■*.'**■**•»?* against ft; the republicans in New York slate are divided o 4 the proht bition question and others are sos! pedaling on the tariff question, since the fa: mers are rising up against tht unfair discrimination. Are they gett ing ready to junk Coolidge or do they ' 'feel that they can pull the wool ovet the eyes of the public and get them coming and going. The new traffic regulations are be ing generally observed and so far nc arrests have been made. Police of flcials report good co-operation on the part of the drivers and owners of cars and with each person keeping in mind that the observance of the law is up to him or her, there will not be any accidents or arrests. Local authorities do not want tc make, arrests unless they have to ami if you drive carefully and observe the signs there i 3 no. reason why a peaceful observance of the law cannot be enforced. Young Dan Moody, the red-haired attorney general of Texas and foe of the Fergusons, snowed Governor Miriam Ferguson under in the final primary race held in that state Saturday. He defeated the lady governor by a two-to-one vote in the race for the democratic nomination for governor and everyone except the Fergusons seem satisfied with the result. The Fergusons have shown poor sportsmanship, at least in not keeping the pre-election campaign promise of resigning from office in case Myody defeated Mrs. Terguson in the first race. However much the Fergusons like the governor’s job it seems that

- they will have to give it up sooner or later. m — Tito children of Adams County will ho the guests of Manager Williamson I at the Northern Indiana Pair tomorrow, tho opening day of the big fair. J All children under 12 years of ugc will be admitted free to the grounds and they aro Invited to come and see the sights. The fair promises to be a good one. There will be many exItlhits and more than one hundred horses are quartered at the park for the races during the week. A variety 'if attractions will be furnished, aside from Ihe races and exhibits and with rood weather the fair will no doubt attract thousands. With a family 1 icket mother, dad and the children will be able to see the whole show. I I The Chautauqua opened last night | with an appreciative audience that filled the large tent. The musical program given by the Paramount company was well given and a forerunner of the many, splendid things in store fer the balance of the week, it. J. Harting, president of the local association did himself proud in anlouncing the opening program and stated that every program would be- 1 gin on time, at 2:30 in the afternoon and at 8:00 o’clock in the evening. 1 I The ticket sale has been good, but there are a few season tickets which < still may be purchased and if you are planning on attending the program t it will llay you to purchase one. The school teachers are attending the ] Chautauqua, it taking the place of the -egular institute. We don't know exactly what the population of Decatur is. but here is ] something that is gospel truth and j ■ve have the figures to prove it. The j ] daily Democrat was sold and deliverA , ! I ed to 1.306 persons last eveniiif. This , number is more probably than the | lumber of homes within the city. I >ut you must take into consideration 1 hose places where two families live j iml apartments. It is customary to j ( igure an average of five to a family,! o if you multiply the number oU , lapers sold each evening by that | Igure you get a total of 6,530. Now j ve are not claiming this to be De- j 1 •atur’s population, but submit the ( igure rather as proof that the ‘‘home 1 taper" goes into practically every iome in the city. In other words we \ tnow that you can send your adverising message to every person in the j •ity as less than one-third the cost if trying to reach them by mail. All | * \'d the Daily Democrat has a paid- I ip circulation of more than 3,200. 1 : Vrc you using it? „ ~ h mfc-,..ti.i.w)—tr or — ountv who arc here this week to at- 1 ( \end the annual institute, held in [ •onnection with the Chautauqua. I These men and women are doing a J .plendid work, teaching the young ( being a noble vocation. The teacher probably holds a uore important position in the eyes of the children J ban they suspect, for it is what the hildren learn in school that helps 1 ttold their life's work. To the teacher s imparted this important duty of I nstilling the right thoughts in the minds of the boys and girls and in many cases it is regrettable that they receive little home teaching, making | the teacher's duty all the more im- , 1 portant. To prepare for this years work many of the teachers in this < county attended normal college during the summer, sacrificing time and ] money so that they might be better , equipped to fill their places in the i school. The school teachers deserve 1 recognition and to County Superin- ( tendent Clifton Striker, we extend I congratulations on having an able corps of teachers and we wish for him and those 'who will teach the tnree "R s" and other fundamentals of learning a year of success and happiness. 0 ' Boilings Stock Pays 13 Cents On Dollar Philadelphia, Aug. 31. —A report filed in the Federal district court here i by a special master appointed to examine the receiver's account in the failure of the R. L. Dollings company, showed that the 5.000 holders of $3,000,0{X) worth of investiments will receive about 13 cents on the dollar, with probably 2 per cent aadditional. later.

This Flavor alone will satisfy you in quick cooking oats —“Quaker” flavor IN QUICK QUAKER—the World's fastest hot breakfast—the famous toasty flavor cf the real Quaker Oats has been retained. That, to you, is important; for flavor is the big point, after all, in food. No other brand has that flavor. It took Quaker Oats experts years to attain it, gnd, at the same time, give you 3 to S minute cooking. Quaker milling, too, retains much of the "bulk" of oats. And that makes laxatives less often needed. Protein, carbohydrates, and vitamine? and Ihis "bulk” are thus combined in making Quaker Oats an excellently balanced food. .TSi as in the regular, the important point to millions is to see the picture of a Quaker on the package of Oats that they buy. , Quick Quaker
