Annual Reports Are Ripe, But Who Will Read Them. Asks Harry Daniel Harry Daniel, former Decatur man, who is editor of Thrift Magazine, wrote the following interesting item about annual reports for his magazine: Annual reports are now ripe and ready to be picked. The next problem is to find somebody willing to read them. Annual reports, president's messages and political platforms require too much brain work to Compete with the movies, the radio. comic strip

j and the murder reports. So many people do their thinking I below the neck that documents like these are read in the entirety prehaps by one person out of a thousand. What the president should do is put some funny stories in his mesi sages. Almost any problem can he explained by anecdote. Take for example the president's attitude on the world court. He might enlarge greatly his circle of happy readers by handling that part of his next message as follows: World Court —In order to give you my views on what should be done with problem 1 must tell you about an Irishman, who, strangely enyugh was

named Pat. Now Pat had died and that night the widow and some of his old cronies gathered around him. Finally one of his friends arose and placed an affectionate hand on Pat's brow. o OBITUARY Lonnie O. Walters, son of Henry and Annie Walters, was horn in Ellen- ' bora, West Virginia Nov. 25, 1886. Departed this life December 3. 1926. Age 40 years and 8 days. He was rear- ‘ ed in West Virginia from childhood up until he became a young man. He was always a kind and affect!- - nate son in the home and elswhere. After il>e death of his Mother being employed by the Standard Oil Company he traveled extensively over the Unitd States and was located at Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the time of • his death. Through his kind and generous disposition he always found and seemed ■ many friends. And was always ready to assist, any one in any way who was in need. He enlisted July 5 1918 in the U. S. Army at Raton Rouge, Louisiana, . .. ,I#lß «i here he received his honorable discharge at camp Beauregard, Louisiana. He lived a single life. Surviving are the Father, one brother, Parry C. of St. Marys township and three sisters, Mrs. Mammie Jones and Stella Walters at home and Mrs. A. C. Yerkey of Detroit, Michigan. Also a number of other relatives and friends. Mother and one sister Alice having proceeded him in death. A light from our household is gone. 1 A voice we loved is stilled ’ A place is vacant in our harts | That never can be filled. The pains of death are past. | Labor and sorrow cease And life's long warfare closed at last. The soul is found in peace.
