Siheerer, Inc., 35 Ea t Wecker Drive Chicago 200 F.fth Avenue, New York When driving over the week-end be careful of the holiday traffic. This weather is not only discouraging to the fair management, but the golfers are also complaining. With the fair and races carried over to Labor Day, the holiday can be enjoyed at Bellmont Park, plus all the attra, ' tlo *' 9 ; ! filii Vacations are about over and next week the school bells will ring, court will open and it wont be long until we’ll have to keep the home fires burning. It must be great to be popular. They’re talking in New York about making Al Smith governor for life, but about election time someone will boh up with the idea that he should be given a chance. The American people spent more than 1800,000,09 P for automobile tires and tubes last year, so you see that you were not the only one who had a blow out or came home on the rim. • A Chautauqua program is arranged so that it will entertain a majority of the people. You need not agree everything that is said in the lectures, but take what you want and at least hear another’s opinion or thought on the matter. If you want a Chautauqua next year subscribe for tickets. Beginning today the board of registration convened in the court house. The board will be in session for thirty and during that time anyone who is not qualified and who wishes register. Look after this t 'lpofti.nt I registering. As has been the custom for several years, the Daily Democrat will not be published on Monday, in observance of Labor Day. The banks, postoffice, several of the manufacturing plants, business houses and offices will also be closed and throughout the countrytributes will be paid to the men and women who keep the wheels of industry moving. The Democratic precinct committeemen will meet in this city, Wednesday at the Decatur Industrial rooms. A dinner will be served and the county chairman is desirous that every committeeman attends. The election is less than two months away and it is planned to open the campaign in this county about the first of October, g.ving thirty days to a discussion and presentation of the issues. After every paper in the state carried several articles about Governor Jackson and staff going to Philadelphia to represent the great state of Indiana at the Sesqui-centennial exposition on "Indiana Dae” we learn that the governor could not get away. . A big crowd attended the event but our state was not officially represented and Hoosiers do not like the slight. Why should the European war debts with this country be cancelled? This money was loaned by Uncle Sam to the nations who needed it and as far as we are able to see they are not sending us bouquets or trying to help us. The cancelling of debts, means the cancelling of the bonds and of course the United States governnten'' would then have to tax the American I

I people to pay their own bonds. If the mult'-milllonalre holders would throw their bonds in the hopper and not expect payment for them, there might be some argument to the •. question, as we see it. Senator Watson has been In con- '• gross about thirty yeurs, serving In house and senate and wants to be returned to the senale for another six j years. The voters are asking “what • has he done that should merit our ' vote?” Well what has he done out- • side of playing politics most of the i time, making speeches and telling the farmers he wants to help them, but does he do anything? , A new product—upholstered furniture, is being manufactured in Decatur at the Gerber Ladder factory. Ezra Gerber, general manager of the concern states that salesmen will cover several states and that he hopes to employ a large men within a sYoit time. About fifteen men are now employed at the factory and the well wishes of the community are extended to th e owners of Decatur's newest manufacturing plant. Mussolini, dictator and ruler of Italy, was painted as the greatest statesman in the world today, by Tom Skeyhill, Australian lecturer, playwright and student of world affairs in his lecture at the Chautauqua last night. Skeyhill painted a gripping word picture of the sceqe which marked Mussolini'S assuming office and told how the Fascist party came into control following the revolution. Skeyhill described Mussolini as a man with dynamite in his blood and zigzag lightening in his brain, all power ful and supreme ruler in control of Italy. His lecture was interesting and educational. Those who read Bill Roger’s recent article in the SaturdayEvening Post, ’’Letters to the President from a self-made diplomat,” were acquainted with the castor oil tactics practiced by the Fascista in combating the revolution and Tom Skeyhill confirmed this yarn as a fact. As Americans we feel that we have the best form of government in the world, will and do resent any dictatorship. but a lecture like Tom Skeyhill gave is one w-orth hearing, regardless of whether we disagree with him on some points or not. ♦♦+++++++♦♦++++* * BIG FEATURES ♦ ♦ of R AD I O ♦ + + it '■ * ♦ + ♦. * ♦ .♦ ♦ .♦ ♦.
