Perhaps the nag that Jackson sold to Stephenson for 82,500 is that one we have heard about so often "a horse of another color.” President Elliot was once introduced to a lady who bad attained the age of 100 years. “What,” he asked, “would you say, as you look back over your long life, has given you the greatest and most enduring pleasure?" The dear old thing didn't meditate very long. "My vittles,” he replied.—Outlook. Its probably a safe bet that President Coolidge won't go back to the Black Hills for his vacation next year. He isn't like other persons who can change if they don't just like the fishing or the quarters. He must stick it out and keep his mouth shut but rumors say that he is very much disgusted with about every thing which has happened out there, including the political conferences. But whats a mere difference of 82,350 between friends? Governor Jackson say the horse was worth $2,500 and Stephenson says it was a spavined old nag worth not to exceed 8150. Thats a big difference now but in those days when they were using each other, it reports are true, it was just an Incident of the day. Not since the seige of Troy has a horse played a more important part in history than has this “very fine saddle horse” and the steed will probably be talked about for years to come. If Buffalo. Baltimore and Cincinnati can keep down the totals of their automobile fatalities for a given month to ' ten; and Boston, San Francisco and ' Washington can keep their totals] down to eight.-why must Detroit have! twenty nine highway killings within the same period of time? Why must this city have a longer automobile death list than any other place in the United Slates except New York and Chicago, and a materially larger one, in proportion to the total population, than congested New York city has? The outrageous condition in Detroit, is a reflection on its city government, on its courts and on the gneral intelligence of its population.— Detroit Free Press. Decatur has one of the lowest power rates to be found any where, excellent labor conditions, every modern convenience, is practically out of debt, has a community swimming pool, an up-to-date hospital, a country club, the finest schools and churches, unexcelled railroad facilities and every thing else which should make it an ideal place for that concern t<| locate in which has too much invested in real estate in some city, is having labor troubles and whose owners desire to get out where they can get a breath of fresh air and keep going. We should tell this to the world. We are proud of our city and we believe it can be sold to any extent desired. Lets advertise 'er. .t Would it surprise you if in the very near future we would all be jumping around like a lot of big toads? Its not impossible that this will soon become more popular than air flying. Balloon jumping is now the newest and most thrilling of sports and it is described in an article by Frederick S. Hoppin in the Forum magazine. You tie on a balloon whose lift is a little less than your own weight and

It enables you to Jump over lakes, barns, houses, trees and any thing that comes in your way. He predicts that the legislatures will soon be fixing penalties for lighting on some persons head or stepping on them as you land or get away. In the light of many strange things which have occut red the past few years we will not be surprised if this comes true also. Want to find out whether or not your car will really go seventy miles an hour? Take ’er up to Michigan after August 14th when their new traffic laws go Into effect. After that date a driver must operate his car "carefully, safely and prudently” but he may send her a hundred miles an hour if he can do so and still be safe and prudent. True its going to be a big job for the courts to decide just who is careful and when and there will be a variance of opinion for there are some drivers who can't be careful even at ten miles per hour and we have never felt that any one was smart enough to beat flfly on the road and play it safe (or either he or any one else who happens to be out. We are living in a speedy age and right here in our own state the speed limit has been shoved up to forty. Now Michigan leads the way with a "no limit" game and its likely that other states will follow them. It will probably develop that the man who does the driving will insist he is careful, safe and prudent while the fellowlie hits will swear he is as “nutty as a loon.”
