For some reason or other it sure does rain this year when it rains. Thq shower this morning finally developed into a regular down pour. Two of James Madison's great services to his countrymen were writing the first ten amendments to the constitution and introducing long pants, and we only hope the hardened old professional reformers won't decide that the latter must be abrogated too. —Ohio State Journal. The swimming pool is to open Monday and the youngsters are ready for hat date. It is one of the finest sports for boys and girls and not bad for adults and it is mighty fine that the city can give her people such a splendid place for bathing and for fun. Get your certificates and your bathing suits ready. Dad's day tomorrow and why not? We have days for about every thing else and while the average head of a family is perhaps not looking for pats on the back, it won't hurt a thing to give him a few for the right kind of a dad has his troubles too and some times the load gets a little heavy. It much easier to keep up the necessary fight if he knows you ( appreciate it. The Columbia City Post, one of the oldest papers in northern Indiana and • which under the Adams, father and - son. has for years been very interest- • ing and readable has advanced a long step this week. A Goss Comet press ' has been added to their equipment and the daily now appears in seven columns, six and eight pages. It is • well supported and is filled with the attractive features of a modern daily. , Their weekly was established in ISSC and the daily in 1896. Its a difficult job to secure tax re- 1 ductions for after all the money to 1 pay the bills must come from some • source. The commissioners here from Indianapolis indicated that while valuations on farm lands and vacant citylots may be a little high, the valu- *■ ations on improvements is about the same amount low and thats probably • the way they wili even it up. Its a hard job for a fifty million-dollar legislature to work out an actual tax reduction. If you don’t pay Peter, you will have to pay Paul. Colonel Lindbergh skipped across Indiana yesterday in his world-t'ained "Spirit of St. Louis," circled the Soldiers and Sailors monument at Indian- • apolis and concluded a nine-hour trip from New York City by landing at the Lambert-St. Louis field last evening, wearing his smile which has won him favor everywhere and greeting Mayor Victor Miller and a million people with his cheery “hello.” The reception to the hero is on today and needless to say is an event uusui*passed in St. Louis. “Lindy” has come home and everybody is glad. After all whats the difference whether some one is ahead of you on the road or not? Many of us seem to have a mania for not permitting any car to lead ours and when we see one a mile ahead we start after it. We fret if we have to wait a minute for a train and w e stew if we get in a jam' which slows us up and yet we are I traveling about ten times as fast as 1 we did g few years ago with old Dob-' -bin and the few minutes we gain by-

| risking our necks In the mad race to outspeed the others is hardly worth the broken bones and mangled bodies with which we pay. The ratio of cigarette consumption to that of cigurs in England today is about -100 to 1. The reason can be given in u word —"taxes." At present rates of taxation Englishmen can not afford cigars. Not even the rich cun afford the kind they desire to smoke. The result is the cigar business has almost been ruined. “The power to tax is the power to destroy.” That old maxim is one to keep in mind. Ruin a business ami it ceases to be a revenue producer for the government, an employer of labor and a creator of new capital from profits. Low taxes mean a happy nation and a happy community. — South Dead Tribune. From Chicago comes a dispatch which tells of the invention of a new kind of cracker which can be eaten in bed. The trouble with eating crackers in bed, as most of us know, is that the crumbs collect under your shouder blades and interfere with sleep. Well, the new cracker makes' a sos, crumb. And with all due respect we say, banana oil! What boots it that the crumb is soft? Crumbs are crumbs, and we are verymuch surprised that any cracker manufacturer should try to lay claim to an epoch-making invention merely on the assumption that one crumb is less obnoxious than another crumb. However, now that this problem has engaged the master minds of the nation, we tush forward with our usual public spirit and offer a solution. What is needed is something that will keep the crumbs from falling in the bed. A simple device made out of mosquito netting will do it. Cut the netting in the form of a large circle, and out of the middle of this large circle cut a smaller circle, roughly the size of a neck, so that the piece of netting now resembles a doughnut. Inside the hole in the middle sew a collar band of such size that it will button snugly yet comfortably around tltt neck of the cracker addict. To. the Suter rim of the netting sew a piece of wire and connect this to the collar band by means of struts. Nowdraw the outer wire a little tight, so that the whole attachment takes the form of an inverted funnel. When it is worn by the cracker addict it will cause him little discomfort; in fact, it will give him a rather elegant air, since it will resemble a ruff worn byQueen Elizabeth on the occasion when Sir Walter Raleigh threw down his coat to help her oyer a puddle. The crumby will collect around the | neck, as rain collects on the brim of a hat. When he is through eating crackers the wearer can drop his head over the euge of the bed, let the crumbs fall out and then roll over and go to sleep. This is so simple that we are amazed nobody has

thought cf it before.-New York World. —Q — ** * * * trythe * * NEXT ONE * ¥»************** GENERAL 1.

In Memoriam To the Worthy Matron and members of Decatur Chapter No. 127,0. E. S. We, your committee appointed to prepare a tribute of respect in memory of our brother David M. Hensley submit the following: “That which He does is always for the best He called our brother to his final rest. Ours not to wonder at the message sent. Nor ours to question: We must be content. After years of faithful services our Brother has fallen asleep "Sleep that no pain shatl wake Night that no more shall break Rest thou for aye.” Again we are called to mourn the loss of a link in the chain of our order. Brother Hensley was a charter member of our chapter and through all the years continued to labor for the growth and advancement, of the order. The lessons taught by Electa, the fifth point of the Star were most beautifully exemplified in the life of our dear brother. His charity, benevolence and generous hospitality to the poor entitled him to great distinction. To those bereaved we tender loving sympathy. Resolved: As an expression of loving rememberance this memorial be read, and spread upon the records of our chapter at the next stated meeting, and the Chatter be draped for thirty days.

The king’s signet IN THE old days, wherf kings counted for more than they do now, the bearer of the king’s signet was a person of the first importance. Gates flew openbefoi’e him, difficulties dissolved, the whole -realm hastened to speed him to his purpose. For the royal ring was the badge of supreme authority. It was the kingly trademark. Wherever it went, it was known and respected as the outward symbol of stability and power. THERE are hundreds of trade-marks today which mean as much in the realm of commerce as the king’s signet once meant in the realm of government. To the buying public, they represent honest manufacture, sound value, fair pricing. They are recognized everywhere as the passports to public preference. Yet this confidence was not won in a day. It was built up slowly, conscintiously, on the solid foundation of quality and straight dealing. Above all, it required systematic and truthful alvertising. ADVERTISEMENTS are messengers sent by dealers of established reputation to tell you where you can buy econorqically and to best advantage. They bear the badge of authority, the stamp of reliability, the king’s signet of honest worth. They are worthy of your confidence and respect. Advertisements are a source of information and a means of protection. Read them! Decatur Daily Democrat

Five Baby Raccoons Raised On Bottle By New Waverly Farmer New Waverly, Ind., Juuo 18—(INS) - Fed through milk bottles five tiny baby coons are the center of interest on the Albert Spurgeon farm near here. Spurgeon was cutting timber when lie felled a big tree tn the top of which he discovered a raccoon nest. The mother coon was killed in the fall of the tree but her live babies were unhurt. The farmer lugged the baby coons home where his family grew enthused over the youngsters. Spurgeon got in touch with the state conservation department to ascertain whether he could keep the coons as pets. He was informed that he could keep the young eoons until they were sufficiently grown to be able to take care of themselves then they must be turned loose. The law in Indiana does not permit the confinement of fur bearing animals. Sheriff Fined For Laxity With Prisoners Terre Haute.
